Dark_Swordmaster posted:I know this is the "wrong thread" but I have heard great things about Layton (the series, not this one particular game) and that if I end up enjoying Ace Attorney I'd enjoy that too. T, generally. They're both mysteries, but while AA is a visual novel, Layton is a collection of puzzles.

Case 1 was very fun, but I honestly enjoyed being able to examine everything again in Case 2 and get lots of character building little facts from Athena and Apollo's bickering. Also in Case 2, that cliffhanger before the trial regarding the office legit makes me mad and pumped to take down the people responsible. And on the day after Mia's death too.

Oh man, as of the beginning of the trail of Case 2, I loving hate Sadmadhi with a passion I have not felt towards a prosecutor in this series since Von Karma. He's just so incredibly lovely to everyone. Poor Ema even started eating Snackoos again after dealing with him!alcharagia posted:okay like, there's strong competition, but i think that pees'lubn andistan'dhin might actually be the best name in the whole series  Agreed. hopeandjoy fucked around with this message at 01:46 on Sep 9, 2016 |

Why do I find it funny when Edgeworth threatens Gumshoe with a cut salary, but unfair and sad when Sadmadhi does the same to Ema? ...Probably because Ema is more competent but still.

You know, I think a figured out another reason why the Khur'ain trials are so frustrating: the judge. The Japanifornia judge does prefer the prosecution, but he's much more likely to be a doofus and occasionally does come around to the player's side, sometimes to the point of shutting the prosecution down. The Khur'ain judge just loving hates you as much as everyone else and barely even concedes the points you actually get right. You don't really ever get the feeling of the trial being in your favor until literally the last second.

Haifisch posted:It's hard to say what counts as "suddenly", though. Basically all of Phoenix's backstory in 3 could be viewed as "sudden", since none of it existed or was relevant before. You could argue Apollo specifically has gotten a lot of backstory that feels tacked-on(and I'd agree), but I think that's because they didn't know where to go with him after 4. I agree with all this. There's no indication in the first or second game that Phoenix ever met Mia before he got a job working under her or that he once had a girlfriend (and it was terrible). The reason the additions to his backstory don't feel "fanfic-y" is that it's been 12 years (9 years, over here) since his backstory was expanded on. It was also only revealed 3 years (2 years for us) after Phoenix himself was introduced. It's now been normal for a long rear end time. Apollo's expanded backstory, meanwhile, is comparatively new and was not released until 6 years (for Clay) and 9 years (for Apollo's family minus his mom) after Apollo himself was introduced. Who Apollo "is" to most people is more established than who Phoenix "is" was at the time of TaT's release.

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. I got the impression that he was just a guy traveling with his guitar, wife, and infant son, not that he had any fame outside of Khur'ain. (Which seems to be a very small country anyway.)

Amppelix posted:Yeah but the script reads to me like he was supposed to be a sympathetic character and you were supposed to feel sad for him having fallen to murder in the end. But I just can't, because he's a big sexist dick who holds stupid grudges for stupid reasons and who got Ami Fey killed for basically no reason. I don't care how much you literally call him cool in the game Takumi, I'm not buying it! Yeah, this is my feeling on the matter. I can't get invested in his hatred of Phoenix when his hatred for Phoenix has a motive that is both sexist and stupid as hell.

Calico Heart posted:Klavier is a cool fun character. Dunno why he's so hated when he's bursting with personality and from what I remember not an outright rear end in a top hat. After playing a game where the prosecutor has all the character of a bowl of oatmeal I dunno how you all can poo poo on Klavier so much.  The air guitar and the fact I don't want to reach into my 3DS and strangle him makes up for a lot.

I want AA7 on the Switch because it’s the console I have. On the subject of introducing it to others, my sister was watching me play aai2 yesterday and didn’t get it. I was in the middle of a long plot conversation and she was just like “do you do anything in this game????” Some people don’t get the appeal of visual novels I guess.

U-DO Burger posted: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 Same here. 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 hated him but it was because he was never upset or humbled or questioned his philosophy in light of being defeated. And then I was expected to feel bad for him when his sad backstory was revealed. ...which is actually kinda how I feel about Godot so at least the reasons why I dislike prosecutors are consistent. (Though Godot is also a sexist rear end in a top hat on top of that.)

Color Printer posted:The problem with Nahyuta is they saved all the character development for the very end and while they made his personality a smug antagonising jackass they forgot to also attempt to make him likable outside of a few very short moments. The reveal is supposed to make this better but it ultimately feels like too little, too late. Yeah. Blackquil’s an rear end in a top hat, but he has redeeming moments both in a “is an enjoyable character” way and in a “isn’t a completely awful person” way from his first trial. Sad Monk is condemning you to hell constantly and never questions these beliefs when you keep proving people innocent. He has a few funny lines but overall just never lets up on his jackass-ness. But then you get backstory dump and don’t you feel bad for him now.

Yeah, it's just dialog changes and some minor puzzle changes to make the puzzles make sense for the changed setting (for example, one changes the time zone between Tokyo and New York to LA and Paris, another changes a puzzle related to which side of a car is driver vs passenger), so you end up with things like a tiny rural Japanese village in the Sierra Nevada and a guy who's a weeb obsessed with samurai who watches Rakugo plays in LA. It's great.
