Apollo! It truly is you! Nahyuta...?

been thinking about the possibility of nahyuta meeting apollo a few years before spirit of justice..

more thoughts below:

i'd imagine this is around 5 years ago, when nahyuta first became a prosecutor? dhurke says that when he first became a prosecutor he was still determined to bring down ga'ran, which i assume means it was before he knew the truth about rayfa and before he was blackmailed to do ga'ran's bidding... i don't know if he had always been an "international" prosecutor but i think he would have been a lot happier to see apollo again compared to his actual reaction in 6-2

at the same time though apollo would probably react more or less the same way, since it's still been a long time since he started trying to forget about his past. i guess he'd at least be more receptive if nahyuta greeted him warmly since i think he has more complicated feelings about dhurke since nahyuta had no part in the decision to send him away...

now onto designs! i based nahyuta off one of his concept designs (specifically the one below) but with a closer colour scheme to what he has in his final design. his hairstyle's more of a middle ground between his adult and child hairstyles, and i also gave him gloves since it doesn't make sense for him to flaunt his rebel tattoo as a prosecutor but also wouldn't have the glove with ga'ran's symbol yet.

i think apollo is fairly obvious but i just gave him his suit jacket from the WAA background, since he both mentions that he likes it and that he doesn't wear it anymore because of trucy's comment about it making him look like a stand-up comedian. i feel like it'd make sense for him to want to look more professional with a full suit before settling for his current look after becoming more comfortable in his shoes

cleared death's door yesterday after my friend strongarmed me into buying it on steam (jk they paid me back) but it was really nice! gorgeous visuals and nice vibe to the world/story overall... it was also nice flexing the isometric action gamer muscles after years off drgl ()

person who left aa6 hate under my post telling you to hate on it after playing the games: cool! i'm still going to block you

[satsuha]

while i'm at it can i share another hot take. i don't even want a new aa game, the thing i want the most rn is an AJ trilogy anime asjkhjka i feel like it would be a great way to smoothen out its story as a trilogy without actively retconning the games because both canons can exist... the extra backstory episodes in the PW trilogy anime are also really nice and i feel like something like that would work really nicely with AJ trilogy.... if they have to make a new game i think i'd rather see a spinoff

[satsuha]

on a related note, i feel like fans putting shu takumi on a pedestal is really just setting yourself up for disappointment in terms of the future of the series... of course long-running series are going to have changes in staff and thinking that no one else qualifies to write these characters just feels so... disrespectful?

(source/translation from gyakuten saiban library)

i think if the series wants to continue it should grow and evolve!! aai1-2 and aa5-6 are good games without takumi's involvement and i'm sick of people acting like aa cannot and never should grow from takumi's initial vision (which, let's be real, ended after the first game. that was his vision for the concept.)

when i see aa fans not even giving aa5 and 6 a chance it's just so. sad to me. like you can never know what your opinion on something is until you give it a try and why wouldn't you do that for a series you love? i understand that pre-AJ trilogy remaster it was more difficult to play 5/6 but that's also not the case anymore since they're now on all platforms

it's especially bizarre when it seems to be purely a fandom echo chamber perspective like.. aa5 and 6 have the same metacritic score as aa3, one of the most beloved games in the fandom. aa5 is the highest rated aa game by famitsu. i know critic scores are rarely the best indicator for a game's quality but these games don't even have mixed critic/audience ratings and yet they're treated like the worst things to ever happen to the series by large groups of fans?

and it isn't like the older games don't have parts that are heavily criticized but for some reason flaws are just. impermissible for these two games. i don't know it just sucks i wish more people would trust their own judgments instead of blindly following others... everyone has different tastes and will experience things differently!!

tl;dr can you at least hate on aa5 and 6 after playing them. PLEASE
