The Ace Attorney Series

Aww, Takumi said that AJ was the end? I hadn't heard that, I also hope there are still going to be more AJ games.

That being said, I did enjoy AAI, mostly because I am openly an Edgeworth fangirl. Some characters' appearances did seem a tad forced though.

I decided to try my hand at organizing the Shout-Out page as best as I could. I had to be careful about reading the Investigations references because I haven't played that game yet. I'm almost finished with the last case of T&T and then I'll start on it.

This may seem like a minor thing, and let's be honest, it is, but it really annoyed me that Apollo Justice is the only main series game in which you don't get to visit the police station.

So apparently Takumi is working on an Ace Attorney... Crossover with Professor Layton. Which sounds awesome by the way. But shame the whole thing is definately gonna be non-canon.

Is that confirmed? Although the two universes clearly don't fit together, so I'm not surprised.

^See this topic.

Best. Advert. Ever.

Oh I wish there were English adds for this game. It probably would have sold better.

So, assuming that Apollo Justice 2 is going to come out at some point, what do you think/hope will happen in it?

I think the last case may well concern a murder at Apollo's orphanage, or otherwise involving someone he grew up with. It'd be an interesting direction to go in, because we know nothing about Phoenix's childhood other than the classroom trial incident and that he was friends with Larry and Edgeworth, and it's already clear from the fact that they've delved into Apollo's parentage that they do intend to make his family an important part of his character, unlike with Nick.

Apollo was fairly emotionally detached to the cases for most of the game, so I'd like to see a case that (metaphorically) stabs him right in that passionate heart burning red of his.

Also, what should be done with Klavier in the next game? If they had return to prosecute the last case, it'd feel too similar to previous games, I think, but he was Apollo's first rival, they can't just do nothing with him. I'd like to see him a bit less chipper, considering that his bandmate/friend turned out to be a murderer, his brother turned out to be a psychopathic murderer who'd been planning to use forged evidence against him, and it turned out that he'd accidentally got an innocent man disbarred thanks to placing too much trust in said psychopathic brother. I doubt he's the type to have a breakdown or anything, and he was all smiles in the credits, but I'd still like to see a more melancholic Klavier. Actually, you know what'd be interesting? If Trucy were unavailable for some reason and he ended up your partner for a portion of the last case.

How do I know that I have played too much Ace Attorney?(well, okay, you can't play them too much, but I want to make this joke xD)

When I'm reading the "Murder on the Leviathan" and when the Inspector Javert of the book starts to give evidence why that one guy(who is innocent) is guilty and the real protagonist of the book starts defending him(and compares it to the court) and I start imagine Ace Attorney music and finger pointing and "Gah!!" face things they do xD(same thing later when protagonist does the same to one who is really behind everything and that person starts doing "Hah! You have no evidence against me!" after showing "the true self"(you know, how the main villains in this series appear as harmless first, then became creepy xD) and stuff happens and breakdown... Well, you should already know where this is coming xD)

...Geez, that sure was fun xD

Ever since I've played these games I.start doing that with any courtroom scene. At all.

I had a bizzare image of Phoenix defending that girl in Frankenstein

I'm interested in the Layton/AA crossover, and I'm excited for Investigations 2, but I really wanna see a new AJ game already; he hasn't had a chance to develop. Plus his first game wasn't really an AJ game so much as a PW one told from another perspective (lol Case 4-4); even Takumi himself didn't want Phoenix in it.

Agreed. But I hope they throw in elements from AAI.

That'd be nice too. I enjoyed how Investigations expanded upon the investigation sequences.

Thx real question is how Takumi will deal with a Jury. Maybe this will lead to more flexibility in the story structure.

I don't really see the inclusion of the jury really changing the series's gameplay much. At most, I imagine that they would modify the game over sequence a bit and have the Judge say something like "The jury and myself are in agreement, and see no room for error. This court finds the defendant >insert name here< guilty!"

I've discovered that we have a page for an interesting-sounding fan made case on this wiki. I downloaded it, but then ran into the snag that I don't know how to get it to play. I downloaded a way to make a RAR file work, but now the actual thing itself is apparently contained within a PWV file. I have no idea how to get it to work. Can someone please help me? I have no idea what I'm doing.

I made a thread about that a while back. It wasn't much help. Please answer.

What thread was this?

I still never got an answer.

See, I have a PC and I still can't work out how to make it run.

EDIT: Apparently I have to download this Py Wright thing? I haven't a clue what's happening.

Here's the page to download it. It's a fan case player program.

(*Enter's the topic trying to completely avoid reading any and all posts for spoiler reasons.*)

I just finished case 3 of Investigations. I'm loving Kay as Edgeworth's assistant. She's the perfect Maya to Edgeworth's Phoenix, only she's not as much of a pain in the ass to her partner.

I can understand why Rhyme Beat would use her as an avatar icon. Her character design is pretty darn cute.

Anyways, I want to contribute something to this thread, so I'll post these.

Okay, I've converted the Turnabout Substitution file into a Winzip file, moved it into the folders portion of Py Wright...and it still won't work. Every time I try to click the PWV file, the computer tells me that either it can't find that document or that I need some other technology to open it. What am I supposed to do?

New Trailer for Investigations 2!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THAT MUSIC
