I would love some one to localize Sherlock Holmes' name into an AA-style pun.

Waffleman_ posted:Most of the game takes place in England so you still could. How do the original names work? Do the English characters have English names which sound like Japanese words? English names that sound like English words? Japanese names that sound like Japanese words? Or English names that just sound like English names because it's too hard to make cross-language puns work?

Installing a translation patch as a game update is really smart, props to that idea. Though I do wonder why that was easier than leveraging luma's file system redirection?

Amppelix posted:Well I dunno if it is but it's absolutely the only one you're going to get, so it's this or nothing. An Ace Attorney without the goofy pun names isn't an Ace Attorney.  If it's between that and not playing it at all, I'll take the latter.

The Japanese author Natsume Soseki appears in the game and he has a cat named Wagahai, which is a reference to his famous novel Wagahaiwqa Neko de Aru and that's cute

I think it's good and while the translation isn't as charming as the AAI2 fan translation, it's still good and I'm glad it's here, and am looking forward to DGS2 being translated! ...Although, it's REALLY disconcerting seeing the term "Jap" thrown around as much as it is. I looked on wikipedia and apparently it wasn't considered a slur in the game's setting, but, yeesh all the same.

Much of the two games' plot revolves around racism against Japanese (and Asians in general), so that's not inappropriate.

Waffleman_ posted:The SoJ DLC case suffers from the same issue as the rest of the game, where due to the fact that no single trial lasts more than one day what with the single day case 2 and cases 3 and 5 being two different trials in one episode, there are really only ever three characters in a case at a time: the defendant, the witness what didn't do it, and the witness what did do it. And yes, AA has always been more concerned with the howdunit than the whodunit, but it's still nice to have a bit of doubt. I think every 3ds era AA game kinda suffers from this. Cases don't really feel as long as they do in the original trilogy.

I've said this before, but i have no doubt it's because of the increased resource cost for making 3d models. They can't just draw exactly two sprites for Penny Nichols and have little side character anymore.

In that case I hope the ending of the third game is westerners learning not to be racist and helping them build Japanese villages out west in California, then Ryuunosuke moves there and adopts the name Wright.

I think it's partly just a change of storytelling. You now get most of the information you need to solve each case up front, with new stuff mostly being added by testimonies or new evidence unless an entirely new location is brought into play. Wheras in the old games you'd typically not even see the culprit until day 2, and miss out on a lot of evidence during your first investigation for some reason. I'd question whether, for example, case 2-3 really benefited from being a multi-day trial. The additional information could've just been added in-court.

They never did three day cases after the first game. Even they realized it was a bit much.

Oh poo poo, I forgot that the first investigations in 3-2, 3-3, and 3-5 are technically the "third" day, I guess?

Nope, just looked it up and there's only two days of investigations, too. Weird that I misremembered that.

The only 3-day case we've gotten past Ace Attorney 1 is Rise from the Ashes, which is a weird thing to say because that's the fifth case of AA1 DS but it was written after the original trilogy so whatever, and that case was loooooooooooooong thanks to each of its days being as dense as the later games in the original trilogy. It's a good case, but I am very ok with sticking to 2-day cases because dense 3-day cases are so exhausting.

I actually really enjoyed SoJ's format of having all trials last a day but having a few cases consist of multiple trials. I think it'd get annoying if all the future games were like that, but there are some cases in the older games where I realized I was going to have to investigate for yet another day and it got so exhausting

For me, having a really meaty one day investigation and trial feels better than an equal amount of content but spread over a few days.

I did like it, but I wouldn't want it to become the new normal. Maybe even just a mix between single spread out trials and the smaller ones.

Yeah admittedly 3 days were probably a bit much, but I'd like to see some more 2 day ones. Considering how often the game tends to run on the premise of "this event happened like a day ago but we already have a suspect we are putting into an immediate trial," the idea of "ok poo poo maybe we need to go back and re-investigate this poo poo" makes sense.

How about the one case where there had been a conviction a full month prior, yet when reinvestigating, the locations involved were in the same state as they were the day of the crime?

Also the entire line of questioning turns out to be a waste of time and it's largely copied over from 3-5.
