I didn't like the first case a whole lot, mainly because of that long, long introduction and how contrived that setup was for the whole thing.

fronz posted:The intro was a little too long but the case was fun. I was annoyed that it took Phoenix so long to figure out how to open the box. I tried presenting the lyrics twice before I was actually able to, I wasn't a fan of that. Metal Jesus gimmick should probably have been more endearing to me, but coming off the last game it came off as "people liked Marlon, right? Let's do that guy again." except without anywhere near as good a character design.

Case 2 ending spoiler: I like that, for all Retinz' gloating about how he finally got one over on the Gramaryes, that "uninvolved" lawyer he credited with taking him down is themselves a Gramarye.

Kay Kessler posted:Actually, going by twitter, it is in fact a poo poo game with bad names that doesn't hold a candle to the greatness that is Apollo Justice. Apollo Justice does have some good qualities to it that the games before had, that the games before didn't have, and that the games after will likely never have. It's also very unique in the series for it's atmosphere, and that's in no small part thanks to the brilliant music and the great look of the game. I can legitimately see the tonal differences between the first 4 and the later 4 games being a problem for people, especially how -- speaking as somebody who liked both 5 (and especially 6) hamfisted and fanfiction-y the writing in the two games get compared to the older ones.

SyntheticPolygon posted:To be fair for Apollo at least, dude legitimately had no history until DD. And even then the stuff revealed about him this game I thought fit surprisingly well with what we knew of his past in AJ. Although him being the adopted son of a revolutionary leader/husband-to-the-queen of a foreign country was kind of out there. No, you hit the nail on the head there. And it works for me, but I can see it not working for other people.

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.

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.

Folt The Bolt posted:He was essentially misunderstanding Rayfa being, for lack of a better word, tsundere about him being her big brother. I was really disappointed they mentioned nothing at all about Apollo being, as far as Dhurke would've been concerned, her brother. Dhurke knew that she existed, right? It was disappointing nothing came of that.

NRVNQSR posted:(Case 5 major spoilers)It's not surprising that she's closer to Nahyuta. "A person adopted by her biological father, neither of whom she's ever met or knows exist" is a pretty distant relation compared to "brother she'd grown up thinking was a cousin". Nahyuta was still a member of the royal family even if he was disliked, so between that and court she would probably have seen a lot of him over the years. I mean sure, but she says NOTHING at all about it.  Poor Apollo has all this family that just doesn't want him around at all.

Dragonatrix posted:Okay, finished Case 2. Most successful is probably still (AAI2 spoilers) the mastermind in that one, because you're only tracking him down after they've already achieved everything they set out to do in the first place, using you as a puppet to do half of it. The villain of 6-2 though is a real loving solid contender for the latter point though, considering the psychotic zeal with which he tried to get a 17 year old who he'd never met humiliated and executed as a gently caress you to a group that as far as he knew was entirely dead and gone. E: Man Kristoph's theme is still really good, I hope an understated villain like that shows up again someday. TheKingofSprings fucked around with this message at 22:12 on Sep 14, 2016 |

ImpAtom posted:I have to say my least favorite gimmick is Apollo's bracelet because it's so drat slow even if you find the quirk quickly. (Well, least favorite protagonist gimmick. Fingerprinting is the worst overall.) The plaster cast mold of the foot was neat, same with scanning the paintings and getting the underlying sketches. If Ema comes back again I hope she brings more of that kind of stuff with her (and not Sahdmadhi, may he drop into the same pit they dropped Klavier into).

Suspicious Cook posted:Hey, remember this thing we never talked about? We still aren't gonna talk about it! Phoenix really needs to have a speakerphone conversation about it before Trucy sneaks on another Khura'in-bound plane. There aren't many ways to rip the title of "WORLD'S WORST DAD" from Blaise Debeste but that would be one of them! Waffleman_ posted:I'm actually super curious as to what they're going to do with AA7 and going forward. I hope they don't bring Apollo back immediately, it's a good excuse to have an Athena-centric game, plus Apollo can have his own 2-4 Great Revival moment in like AA8 or 9. Temporarily (possibly permanently?) writing out Apollo was a really bold move and I'm surprised they did it. It's a great end to his arc, but AJ was the game I started with so in a way he's the defining attorney of the series for me. He'll for sure get at least a cameo case, they're not known for retiring gimmicks they've used previously in the series and since seances can only be done in Khura'in, it pretty much guarantees his return, but I'll miss him and Athena working together. I wonder how much time he spent thinking about it before he realized it was cleaning toilets and being a magic show practice dummy vs. living in a palace and being the most prominent lawyer in the country?

Lurdiak posted:I dunno man. The game obviously wants you to think of Acro as a tragic individual instead of a villain, but he wanted to murder a 15 year old girl for basically no reason and then tried to frame someone else when his incredibly stupid plan went wrong. He's a sack of poo poo. The 15 year old girl crippled him for life and put his brother in a coma with no guarantee of waking up with absolutely no repercussions or knowledge that she had done anything wrong. What he wanted to do was hosed up but that isn't "basically no reason", as far as motives go in this series that one actually makes a huge amount of sense.

mabels big day posted:well i beat it. Here's some thoughts on everything, mostly on case 5 The reason Nahyuta confesses is because the entirety of case 5 is to demonstrate Apollo's progression and just how far he's come as a lawyer by taking on Phoenix's greatest hits (Von Karma with an engineered confession and a higher, evil attorney taking over, Engarde with Phoenix roped into defending a client who is coercing him, Dahlia with two very similar sisters, one of whom is good and the other evil, with a strong spiritual connection for one of them) on in an extremely narrow span of time and defeating all of them. It's a little contrived but it worked well for me and it was a great sendoff for Apollo.

Ibram Gaunt posted:I'll admit my memory is a bit fuzzy since I beat the case late last night but uh case 5 stuff: given the time period the AA games take place in, Jove woulda died in 2005. are we seriously implying that despite the fact that people knew that a famous(?) musician was one of the people who died - The judge even comments that he seemed to know who he was, that no one could punch his name into the internet and find a picture of him in 23 years? I know Kur'ain is sorta old timey but out of all the dumb stuff in AA I find that a little too absurd. Nobody actually knew the guy's name until very recently.
