The english version is objectively better because Blackquill being a British weeb is way funnier than him being a Japanese guy obsessed with Samurai culture.

To elaborate, on the same batch of Taiwan ratings was GAAC for PC/PS4/Switch and Tales of the Borderlands for Nintendo Switch (and Genshin Impact PS5), so the latter being confirmed for next month probably means we'll see GAAC pop up sooner rather than later.

Yeah, if it's being submitted for ratings, we can assume it's probably a few months out from release.

I was talking with a friend about Apollo Justice today, and I realized just how much I liked Hobo Phoenix as a character turn. I hope we see more explicit callbacks to that era of his life in the future, even if it's something as simple as having him play piano well or talking about how much he likes the game of poker or something.

Hobo Nick is best Nick. I love how he seems like this jaded motherfucker when you're talking to him as Apollo but then you go into his head and he's still the same old Nick, just hardened by his experiences.

I feel like Hobo Nick is one of the ballsiest decisions a game series has done. Too few games with long legacies are willing to age characters and have poo poo happen to them, like life-altering experience poo poo. Sure, it’s still silly on some level and kept vague enough as games continue so new players don’t get lost, but I wish more series took the kind of risks Apollo Justice did.

i mean, didn't that only happen basically because higher-ups insisted phoenix needed to be in the new game still and takumi just made him a completely different character so it would technically be true

Pretty much, though I think it also works as a natural character progression. We've seen how he operates when alone and he's the type of person who really needs a partner to rein him in.

As much as I liked AA5 and AA6, I really wish they hadn't reigned in the Hobo Nickness so much. Not all of AA4 works super well but that aspect was so good.

I get that AA5 was absolutely aiming to rein the entire tone back after 4, but man, it really would've been nice to see a harsher Nick working against The Dark Age of the Law, and he himself slowly getting back to his softer self as the game goes on.

Phoenix is Luke Skywalker, in that his appearance and demeanour in the sequel trilogy was controversial but ultimately had a satisfying payoff that the next instalment spent a lot of time trying to ruin Also his mentor is a ghost that talks to him sometimes

Between the plot not making one lick of sense and Hobo Nick, I genuinely can't be bothered to go back to AA4. I do wish AA5 didn't rely so much on Phoenix being a doofus as characterization, but I guess you mostly see that as you're playing as him.

On the scale of Hobo Nick being basically a new character and Pearl being a 10 year old teenager, I definitely prefer series daring to take risks and let characters grow. Also real tired of having to constantly escalate stakes. Half of 6-1 being the entire courtroom, including the judge, giggling about how they're going to murder or mutilate Phoenix for speaking out of turn was by far the worst intro of any game in the series.

I feel like I'd like AA4 more if I didn't play it after playing the AA trilogy with all its sleek extra QoLs and then going to the clunkier DS style. Also, if AA4-3 wasn't such a horrible, convoluted mess. But that the music is good, Hobo Phoenix is great design (if frustrating as a NPC), the payoff at the end is nice, and AA4-2 I actually liked well enough, maybe because it's really the only one not looped into the overall plot other than introducing Gavin. I dunno, I think I wanted to like it. But aside from Hobo Phoenix and maybe Apollo (and even then that's mostly because he's better than his competition), I didn't really like most of the regular cast. Trudy's an example of why having the assistant character basically being better than the protag doesn't really land, and Gavin is just a smarmosaur.

It’s a shame that they never actually expanded on the stuff that happens at the end of 4-4, since that could have provided a nice change of pace for the series formula.

Yeah I imagine that they took the ideas they had for the future of the Jury system in the main series and used them in Great Ace Attorney. Worked pretty well!

They weren't a jury in the Layton game though, that had you cross examining multiple witnesses at once. The Jury mechanic was not part of the cross examination but rather a new gameplay system unique to the Great Ace Attorney games.

I wonder how much of that is because of Ace Attorney's weird insistence of not having new games spoil the major twists of old games for the most part. Like they're kind of weirdly dancing around their own history a lot.
