Case 5, investigation 1: I can't believe that the scroll of Misty Fey from 3-5 appears randomly in the doctor's office. I really appreciate the continuity, and everyone wondering why it smells like gravy is also great

Honestly, SoJ might have the strongest overall cast of any AA game. I think I really liked every witness outside of just Geiru. Everyone else was really entertaining or interesting or funny, and I would legitimately not be upset if any of them showed up again in future games. And I don't think I can say that about any other game in the series. Seriously though, SoJ was basically exactly what I wanted it to be. I think I mentioned in the old thread a couple of times that I hoped the game would be used to push Phoenix out of the spotlight and give Athena and Apollo a more central protagonist role. Though I was pretty sure it was never going to happen, but then that's basically what occurred. This is Apollo's game and it was wonderful. It somehow focuses on a character who's arc was completely mishandled in his debut, and then a side-plot (albeit a surprisingly compelling and well-done side-plot) in the next game, and pulls it all together and gives it a really satisfactory conclusion. Dude's backstory is weird and over-complicated but I really enjoyed everything they did with it and was invested the entire time. He might be my favourite AA character now. The game also basically proved to me that Phoenix and other characters from the original series can probably just head out of the spotlight now, like I enjoyed what Phoenix and Maya did this game but they're done. Their arcs are completed and they've basically become the best characters they can be. They are exactly where they should be when the series ends. I don't want them to disappear or anything, but they don't need to get much more focus, and I think the series kinda understands that now. It's still got some problems though. Like, the new prosecutor is an important part of every AA game but Nahyuta is really underwhelming. Especially around all the other fantastic characters introduced this game. He doesn't change or show more character until case 5, from 2-4 he's basically the exact same dude. And that dude is just kinda a huge rear end in a top hat. Speaking of sorta antagonistic figures though, Rayfa on the other hand is really cool. Gets a well done arc throughout the game and clearly changes over each case. Also she's funny and entertaining. She's the best and I hope she shows up again in the future. Her being queen might make that difficult, but Nahyuta's the regent so maybe she can take some time off to go to the states and meet with the WAA crew. Investigate with Athena or hang with Trucy or something. I'd like it to happen. Anyway, it's a great game. I can't wait for AA7: Athena Cykes - Ace Attorney. Because she's basically the protagonist with the most area for development and stuff now. And it means Blackquill will show up more and he's the best prosecutor so it's a win-win. Though, the last two games have really sold me on the whole multiple playable characters thing so I hope they keep that up as well.

I feel like I missed something with Rayfa. She just didn't really click with me at all. (Final Case Spoilers) I mean I felt awful for her when she passed out and was just crumbling on the final trial but... she was kind of a jerkass the entire game and she didn't really do or say anything too funny outside the gag of "Nayna what's this thing... ah yes I knew all along!" Also final case spoilers when I was naming Nayna as a culprit am I the only one imagining her doing her zoom across the screen animation but with a knife? Just the mental image of her quickly sliding in - shank - sliding out was way too funny to me.

I'm just about to start Case 3 Trial Day 2. Enjoying it so far. Some big twists here. A legit Guilt verdict was surprising, though I'm guessing it will be undone by the end of the trial today. Also holy poo poo Apollo's step-father. Also Rayfa owns and is the most adorable thing.

So I just finished the whole game and wow, that was a wild ride. Thoughts while the credits roll: I was kind of disappointed with the first two cases, since they were a bit more... simple than what the past few games were up to. Considering how ridiculously convoluted most of the murders in AAI2 and Dual Destinies had been, I guess that's not entirey a bad thing. The other three, though, really hit it out of the park. They had a bunch of twists that were surprising but now completely out of nowhere. I feel that the whole Apollo and Phoenix thing would have been much more dramatic had they not revealed it coming in one of the trailers, but I was still extremely hype. I cannot sing enough praises for Case five as a whole, because it was really the Ace Attorney experience at it's finest. The whole sequence of Dhurke being reavealed as dead is probably one of the greatest moments in the series. The way it's just suddenly sprung on the player is incredible. Rayfa is a lot more appealing than her initial introduction set her up to be. I was going to complain about Phoenix still not talking to Apollo and Trucy about the whole mom thing, but apparently the writers are aware and saving it, so I guess I can't say much. Game was fantastic.

AA6 stands up to AA3, and the Apollo trilogy can now stand toe to toe with the original trilogy IMO This might be the only AA game where I've liked every single character If they decide the series ends here, it'll have wrapped up well. If not, it's time for Ace Athena: Thrilling Therapist e: also the music was a big step up in this game from AA5, the Cornered theme is fantastic The 7th Guest fucked around with this message at 11:14 on Sep 14, 2016 |

Another excellent installment in the series which, other than maybe Layton vs Wright, has never failed to entertain. I'd rank this one pretty high, even if I couldn't quite get into case 5 as much as I would have liked to. Oh, and gently caress finger print dusting.Quest For Glory II posted:e: also the music was a big step up in this game from AA5, the Cornered theme is fantastic These games always have fantastic music and some of the character themes for villains in this one are awesome, some of the best in the series. Biggest gripe is that I just can't distinguish the allegro cross examination theme from the regular one that well. Just doesn't seem as distinct for whatever reason.

The audience chamber is fine when it's empty... the issue is rendering twenty goddamn guard models. The same thing happens when a bunch slot in behind Ga'ran in court. Case 5 Day 2 My biggest gripe with the music is that Cross-Examination ~ Presto as a concept is still confined to Investigations.

I can understand not being satisfied with case 1, since it's pretty much held up by Pees'lubn Andistan'dhin, but case 2 is legitimately awesome. As others have said it's a better finale to Apollo Justice than 4-4, with a kickass villain in whose scheme would have been flawless if not for Bonny's clumsiness. And I don't think we've had a remote killing like this before? Overall the case was fantastic, with a fantastically evil villain. But aside from that minor gripe, yes I can agree with you that this game is fantastic.

In Episode 5, rotating the suit case took forever because it would just jump about, and generally be really finicky. Looking for blood traces around in the chair also took me forever because I'm fairly sure it was just not registering or something. I love the idea, but it's just really frustrating to do.

Well Case 4 is certainly, uh, a thing that happens. It kinda feels like (Case 4 Spoilers) someone tapped them on the shoulder and reminded the devs Simon needed his sequel cameo, so they wrote a random case he's pretty much the best part of. I think it kind of hurts Athena as a lawyer, though, because almost every single big breakthrough is "blackquill help me nahyuta is scary" "OKAY CYKES-DONO *SMASHES PODIUM*" Speaking of that, Nahyuta is at peak petty rear end in a top hat during that case. Really? You're trying to incite the GALLERY? I was okay with it because Blackquill's cool and funny, and he can carry it, but the whole case doesn't feel that strong as a whole. Geiru is a pretty lame villain (Except for her balloon sword) and it just feels like it lacks the best part of any AA case, which is the big "HOLY poo poo" twist that makes everything click. Also the game's understanding of Dissociative Identity Disorder is on par with Metal Gear Solid's understanding of genetics ("I GOT ALL THE RECESSIVE GENES"), but it's Ace Attorney so that doesn't really matter, "believability" isn't really the most important thing. Apparently Case 5 is amazing though, so I'm looking forward to it.

In retrospect, he's been doing that the entire time, though. It's just less noticeable in 2 and 3 because Robert Downey jr. is already messing with the audience, and because, in Khura'in, everyone hates you from the get go. The guy's a real piece of poo poo.

Case 5 spoiler: drat it, Phoenix Apollo's leaving and you still didn't think to tell him about his half sister? That is actually a gigantic change for the series though, he'll probably show up again in the next game for at least one case but drat if he wasn't the best part of the last two. I hope they can keep it up without him.

Just finished up. Definitely among the better games in the series. I don't think Nahyuta needed to be in the game as much as he was. He's just not that interesting. He certainly should have sat case 4 out, with how filler it is. Datz is the MVP though.

Case 2, Day 2/Trial 1 (probably nearing the end of it at this point): oh my god stop going on and on and on about this note that Trucy "signed" and let me prove that it's bullshit already. This is the easiest thing ever to prove is meaningless and irrelevant but nope, Polly and Athena just gonna sit there and let this happen and are even actively giving up. Oh and now the gallery is going on and on. Let's this stupid pointless segment end already! ...At least Betty and Bonny are awesome and twin-handedly saving the trial so far.

It's definitely clear from playing this game that the staff took some things away from AA vs. PL; among other things, (case 6-5) Ga'ran came off to me as them wanting take another crack at Darklaw, who had a really great design and animations...and then had absolutely no presence beyond that. Also that theme is sick, she made up for Nahyuta and how insufferably boring he was in spades.

Though Datz, the de Famme twins, Armie Buff, Roger Retinz, and Pees'lubn Andistan'dhin are some pretty strong runner-ups. (I think I actually liked every character in this game to a very high degree in some way or another, and it's making me have some difficulty in which case to replay from now that I'm finished with the game.)

It might not be as good as the Orca classic, but (6-4)the characters were generally likeable, and crucially it didn't overstay its welcome. Not having to slog through an investigation phase immediately puts it pretty high up compared to most filler cases.

6-4 did feel like the progression from cases 1 through 3 just hit a wall in a dumpster truck fire. At least Simon saves it somewhat, but it really should have just been a DLC case.
