With the complex robotics at show in the Gyaxa headquarters, I’m surprised there hasn’t been a case regarding a robot murder- either a robot murdering a person or a person destroying an intelligent (to some degree) robot.
Not gonna lie, as outlandish as it is, I don’t think it’d be that bad- and as a plus, it wouldn’t need to change the overarch plot that much.
I kind of miss having friends that don’t know anything about Ace Attorney… Trying to explain the first game’s plot without previous context is a very fun adventure.
And that’s not even getting into how chaotic it would be to do the same thing with DD and SoJ. Gotta love that messy post-trilogy plot.
I wish Mia’s design consisted of a turtleneck sweater (or a sweater vest?) instead of… whatever sort of boobtacular jacket she has. Like, that fits her so much better imo, she deserves better for being such an integral plot character!
Legit if every witness in the AA universe chose to speak in easily understandable language and not be incredibly selfish these games would be half as long. Like yes sorry you did an oopsie but please do not make me publicly humiliate you in court when you could’ve just told me the relevant information ????
hello I have just discovered these two tiny icons of Phoenix and I’m in love with them
So, upon a little more investigation, these seem to have originated from some defunct Nintendo web game called Mission in Snowdriftland (released 2006), where they were rewarded as desktop icons for completing levels (or something). Very intertesting
Also, there are more of them lmao
Dunno about them still being useful as desktop icons… but they absolutely would maker great emojis
As silly as yaoi body Phoenix is, there’s also a lot of art in the Official Casebook (at least Vol. 1) that I think is pretty neat.
love the Dragonball esque style of this artist, Phoenix especially fits well with it because of his hair lmao
This one reminds me a lot of Celeste, a platforming game that was released a few years back.
This one gives me like… 10 year old webcomic vibes. It fits well with the characters imo, especially with the sort of silly story the artist put it along with.
I’d love to see another more modern officially published manga a la the Official Casebooks, filled with fanmade material. There’s a lot of weird humor and plotlines that are incredibly entertaining at least in the PW one, I’d love to see that with more than just the trilogy characters.
I’m kind of shocked that Ace Attorney hasn’t really leaned into the supernatural all that much. I mean, we have spirit mediums and the associated spirits, but not much else. Even Barok, who has goddamn bats chilling in his dramatic ass office, is only lightly suggested to be a vampire. Just make him one! Where are the werewolves at? Answer us, capcom
Responses to this post got me thinking… if there was an Ace Attorney Scooby Doo AU, who would be who?
Immediately, I knew Larry had to be Shaggy. Fred being Phoenix fits a little less well, but it makes the most sense. Daphne could maybe be Franziska, and Velma could probably be either Maya or Ema (I’m leaning more towards the latter).
I was lost on who would be Scooby Doo himself, because while I could just make him be Missile, that didn’t feel right- I needed someone with more personality. Then it hit me- Gumshoe. Just give the dog a trench coat and we’re all set.
Was discussing the sidekick characters a few days ago and came up with a tier list of sorts. I didn’t include one-time partners since they’re harder to judge.
Tied for first: Maya (trilogy) and Trucy (AA4).
Maya is just straight up iconic- her AA6 appearance just didn’t do it for me as much as the og trilogy though. Trucy is similar, in that she made a huge impact in her debut game but the interactions afterwards are less remembered by me (though aren’t necessarily bad). Both are super lovable and quirky, and their dialogue never fails to make me laugh. -
Second place: Susato
As much as I like the silliness of Maya and Trucy, having a sidekick that really seems to know what she’s doing is super nice every once in a while. Her special moves are also pretty awesome, with funny animations to boot. -
Third place:Athena
I admittedly don’t care too much for her as a player character, but I like having her as a sidekick during cases. Her animations are always a treat to see, and she has a good mix of serious and silly to her. -
Fourth place:Kay
It’s been a while since I’ve played MEI, so I don’t recall enough positive anything to really rank her- If I suddenly went and replayed that, I wouldn’t be surprised if she jumped up one or two places on here. From what I do remember, she was a good foil to Edgeworth’s seriousness. Also, her theme is great. -
Fifth place: Rayfa
Gave me the same vibes as a very angry Pearl or Trucy. Not bad, had some funny lines, but generally forgettable to me. -
Sixth place: Pearl (trilogy)
She’s cute, but the consistent shipping is kind of weird to me. Her DD/SoJ appearances were a bit forgettable to me, so I don’t know where I’d put those.
Would like some more murder cases with victims that deserved it more than your average chump. My heart can’t take any more well-meaning friendly characters dying just because™
Then again, if there’s a deep story meaning and some possible angst… go right ahead lmao
If we ever see the inside of Klavier’s house, I’d honestly be shocked if that statue of him from Turnabout Academy wasn’t, in a repaired state, prominently displayed where everyone could look at it.
He gives me the vibes of someone who displays pictures etc of himself all over the place… not like that’s a bad thing.
I think it’s utterly hilarious that Apollo, as a baby, had his silly hairstyle already… obviously hair doesn’t usually stick up like that, so I’d like to think that Jove did it because he thought it looked funny
…then he dies, and that fact dies along with him, so Dhurke just thinks it’s his normal hairstyle and keeps styling it like so
Would love to see the plot of Ace Attorney added to the foundation of Prof. Layton. Mfs walk into a murder scene and decide it’s time for a puzzle… luke is crying but the professor won’t let him out until he fits the correct missing limbs on the mutilated torso…
