I always thought it was weird they used the AA3 theme for Phoenix in these. Even at the end of AA3 when you're taking down Godot, they switched to the AA1 Objection theme. I always sorta thought of the AA3 theme as Mia's, since it's associated with her first.

The easy answer is that the current series composer is the dude who did AA3's OST, Noriyuki Iwadare. I miss Masakazu Sugimori too, though Iwadare did a real good job with the Investigations games.

Not trying to rain on your parade, but it was the AA1 Cornered/Pursuit theme that they switched to when you were taking down Godot.

(To be honest, I prefer the AA3 Objection theme over the AA1 Objection theme.)

Well I mean what I said answers the question regardless of which song actually got reused in AA3. :v:

Sugimori does tense really well I think, the original Cross Examination Allegro is still the best in the main series IMO (Investigations is cheating because Presto).

I think that the reason Phoenix uses Mia's theme is because he inherits it from her at the very end of 3-5. It makes more sense once he's the mentor for Apollo and Athena, similar to how Mia was for him.

T&T really had the best music

AA3 had the best Court, Moderato, and Pursuit themes. AJ got the best Allegro and Lobby. I think AA6 actually has some of the best investigation themes, though.

The new Investigation ~ Core owns. Only like half the games have a really good one and it's a bit of a pity (it works in JFA as a characters theme but it doesn't get me pumped like in AA 1 or 4).

Yeah, the Investigation - California theme is really really good:

And then Trucy's magic show theme was great too, it's like Turnabout Big Top without the PTSD. I also am extremely high on both the moderato and allegro themes of AA6 but they're very fresh so it's hard to judge them accordingly.

AA6's "beginning of the case" theme is super good and I want to say how well they used it throughout this game.

Y'know, for something so simple and repeditive, I really like the Psyche-Lock music. I mean I really like most music in the Ace Attorney series not named "Berry Big Circus ~ We Suck So Much We're Unique In Not Having A Subtitle", but :v:

E: please ignore that the other song I mentioned in the same drat post also has no subtitle, I certainly did :doh:

On the other hand, the Presto themes really were great, particularly the one for AAI2! :allears:

I am also really partial to the Logic Chess tracks and the Mood Matrix tracks. (And the former makes me really want Logic Chess to appear in a mainline AA game.)

In terms of Allegro themes, I'm partial to AA1, AA3, an AA6's themes. They're my favorite Allegros!

Also, AA6's Strange People theme's composition and instruments give me Banjo-Kazooie vibes, and that automatically makes it the best Strange People theme! :colbert:

Gumshoe will be a victim in AA7. The killer? Poverty. His pay was deducted so much that he was forced into homelessness, unable to afford food any longer. Can Phoenix and Edgeworth team up to "turnabout" income inequality to prevent something like this from ever happening again?

I'm surprised Capcom went away from AA1's musical direction. Did the original artist ask for too much money to keep composing for them? I suppose the tone of the series has changed over time.
This was always my favourite tune from AA1:

Well crap, had a whole post typed up about Apollo's Asinine Attorney and my app crashed! Unsure if spoilers needed but will do so just in case. Some quick things:

- this case is less "serious" than Phoenix's
- there's minimal Klavier for all you haters out there, seems like he's missing some animations, understandable given the time frame and it being a joke case
- there's one special guest yet unseen in SoJ, and a character mention so far out of left field I had a surprised grin
- pixel theme is based on Case 6-2

Honestly I think it was a huge missed opportunity not to time the emotion bleeps to the BGM, especially since we know that they can time bleeps to stuff generally.

Timing irritating bleeps to the BGM makes them orders of magnitude less irritating, as a rule. See: Axiom Verge, which like many metroidvanias (and videogames) has a low-health bleep alarm - which is a thing that normally drives players crazy - timed to the current BGM.

Heeeey. :D Just paying it forward after I was introduced to the series two years ago when the original Trilogy was released on the eShop. I still waited until it went on sale to actually get it. Then I binged through every game in the series, including Investigations 2. Ace Attorney is great, and I'm glad you've enjoyed it.
