aa2 is the worst game in the series, and it's right between the second best game in the series (aa1) and the best game in the series (aa3)

I think I liked DD a bit more than aa1 but that's pretty much my thoughts on the series.

AA2 still does have the best final case in the series though.

The fact that the prospect of more returning characters is the only thing the fanbase really gets excited about these days makes me think it would've been for the best if the series ended at T&T. Not that I disliked DD, but it felt like a very "safe" game, and I think that AA6 will be similar, what with the huge focus Spirit Medium stuff is going to get again.

I hope most of the cameos in newer AA games are going to be from some of the more recent games instead of characters from the original trilogy. But I admit I still want to see Gumshoe back.

Is there any good anime about espionage? I already love Metal Gear game so do not just suggest Metal Gear games.

009-1 is a series about a female cyborg spy in an alternate universe where the cold war never ended and world is split between East and West Bloks. I remember it being okay
It's very campy and 70's though.

Same.

I still believe in localisation though. Eventually, many years into the future when they release it as a bundle with the rest of the Dai Gyakuten Saiban trilogy which will probably be made.

That said, DD did do a lot of cool things all its own, like fleshing out Apollo to the point that he's apparently one of the more popular characters now (even if that involved pulling new backstory out of the blue, a la T&T), which makes me happy since I already liked him from what little time he got to shine in AJ.

His character theme in DD is one of the best songs in the series, in my opinion. Really DD as a whole had some great music. Nothing beats the original cornered theme, though.

Apollo and Athena are really cool in DD and it almost makes me mad Phoenix was even playable at all, even though I really like him as the boss of a bunch of rookie lawyers.

Same, though I thought all the personalized songs were really good, like how every character got their own "Objection" theme.

Professor Layton is good and I wish the first and last games in the series weren't prohibitively expensive.

I like that "Wright & Co." is an actual law firm now, rather than just Phoenix, whatever kids are bugging him at the time, and Charley, but it really cuts down on how much time each lawyer can have as the lead. They managed to give everybody a good role in DD's finale, but I'm curious about how they'll handle Apollo (and Athena if she comes back) in AA6, since Phoenix will almost certainly be the guy to handle the first and last cases.

Perhaps when they feel like they've rebuilt enough goodwill not make fans scatter at the sound of anything related to AA4's plot.

so an incredibly slim chance of it happening in AA7 or 8 :v:

The DLC case for DD had a cute pirate lady, and an animal defendant, so it was fine.

There's an amazing fan patch out for AAI2. They really went above and beyond on that one.

One of these days I need to get an emulator and a translated rom for AAI2 or something, because I don't think I have seen anyone say anything even somewhat negative about it.

But if I get busted for pirating, who would defend me?

When either Trucy or Apollo become the defendant in the final case of aa6.

Controversial AA opinion: Phoenix has pretty much had his character arc completed and future AA games should have Athena and Apollo replace him as the main characters.
