Dear Eveshowrtc,

That’s tempting, but then what happens if I take a shower and forget to re-apply them?  The ladies would go twice as crazy as soon as they saw me.

Dear Fulbright,

My thoughts exactly, pal.  In fact, I was very close to putting “Theeeeena!  Theeeeena!” as a tag instead of cheering Phoenix.  I love Phoenix as much as any other Ace Attorney fan, but what about Athena and her European relatives, her first case on her own, etc., etc.?  Phoenix has already had his moment in the sun, if you ask me.  As for Larry, he probably would’ve had it already by now if he was ever meant to.  For that matter, would he even realize it if he did?

Dear Bill,

Nah, I was just playing along.  I don’t approve of cheating (although I’m far from innocent of doing it myself), but I figured that wasn’t what actually happened.  It’d be fun to imagine someone actually trying that, though.  “I couldn’t figure out the answer, so I asked a character from a video game.  It doesn’t count as cheating since they’re not real, right?”

Dear patablegecko,

Er...  “Rudy”?  Sorry, I’m not really a professional name-thinker-upper.

Dear Eveshowrtc,

She’ll be fine, but maybe try not to scare her like that right now.  Halloween isn’t for another month yet.

Dear roundpi,

I can definitely see how that might fit into an Ace Attorney tale.  We even saw one example where Maya’s magatama led Phoenix him astray in Justice for All.  The Mood Matrix has even been proven to be almost unreliable if its software is messed with.  That’s probably the main reason why evidence is the only way to bring a case to its end.  It’s the only thing we can count on never to be wrong.

...Usually, anyway.

I don’t if it’s possible to break a magatama, either by cracking it or overusing it, but that’d make for an interesting story, too.  For that matter, what if Apollo’s bracelet or Widget was stolen?  As for Edgeworth..........  Maybe take away his cravat?

Dear jnv11,

Thanks!  That cutscene slipped my mind for a moment there.  I should really start giving out rewards for people who catch our canonical errors, shouldn’t I?  Here, have a cookie.

Dear Random Player,

I’ve heard of it, but never really seen it.  Might as well check it out...

...Okay, then.

(Don’t look it up if you’re squeamish.)

Dear Anonymous,

I know, right?  Why would you do this to us, Capcom!?

I know you were probably just making a joke, but that pretty much sums up how I feel about Capcom’s Ace Attorney panel.  Having the trilogy remade and ported to consoles and PC is great and all, but...  *GROAN OF PAIN*

Dear Anonymous,

We can’t actually change the tags on letters unless we answer them immediately afterwards, so...

Eh, what the heck?  I’ll go ahead and answer it right now.

Dear Firelord124,

That might be a cartoon, but it’s all too similar to how dictators try to arrange things.  It only works if they can disguise it well enough.

Dear Eveshowrtc,

Oh!  My bad.  It’s not like that makes his title any more accurate, though, unless his beads are made out of bone.

(That’d be really weird.)

Dear Eveshowrtc,

Khura’in remained neutral for the most part throughout both of these wars, but when the second war began to escalate, Khura’in joined with the United Nations, known today as the Allies.  A portion of her finest soldiers were sent to join the fray after an invasion in our northwestern region.

Our country has always been one of peace and companionship, but there is no conceivable reason for anyone to sit idly by as evil does its work.

Dear Eveshowrtc,

With eyes like those?  She’s got to have at least a drop or two of Japanese blood in her.

Dear Eveshowrtc,

Heh!  That’s a funny coincidence, isn’t it?  Moving away was the furthest thing from my mind when I got that letter.

I did take that leave of absence, though.  Girls who have been falsely accused of being in a harem are a force to be reckoned with...and I didn’t want to be reckoned with them.

Dear Eveshowrtc,

That’s...kind of tempting, but I’d still like to stay on his good side in case we ever meet in court again.

Dear Infinity Sparks,

Co-Mod:

Thank you very much!  I’ll take any Ace Attorney questions you have, but I’d probably prefer not to be on an actual game show.  I’m not very comfortable with cameras...

Dear Infinity Sparks,

Co-Mod:

Not a problem.  We both happen to be sticklers about spelling and grammar, so I’d actually insist that you point out errors like that.  Thanks!

Dear iamx-love,

Modthorne:

Heh, my favourite Ace Attorney character HAS to be Dahlia Hawthorne or Betty de Famme. I’ve always been an antagonist lover, and Dahlia felt like the perfect little demoness. And Betty seemed like a more violent version of me. As for my least favourite character, I would have to say... Either Manfred von Karma, or Phoenix Wright himself. Von Karma is for obvious reasons. Phoenix feels undeveloped, and he seems to only know what he’s doing when he’s working AGAINST the player. Call me crazy, but that’s how he acts to me.

Co-Mod: 

My favorite character and games are listed in a letter below, and my least favorite character...actually, I’m not even going to mention her by name.

In fact, if I could change one thing in the AA universe, it would probably be her attitude near the end of Trials and Tribulations.  That poor soul has some serious revenge issues.

Dear thereminbeholder,

Modthorne:

Thanks for the congrats! I can’t wait to see all the letters we get. Some of them are actually really funny, and some are really unique questions. It’s really exciting!

Co-Mod:

Thanks a lot!  I’m already having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have, and I have a feeling the Ace Attorney crew will be a fine group of people to work with.  Although I am a little concerned about that whip-happy lady with the German accent...

Dear Chris,

Co-Mod:

That’s a fair question, and I’m glad you brought it up.  Technically speaking, we didn’t buy the game (although you can bet we would have if we could), but at the same time, we’re not actually playing it.  We’re simply viewing it and emulating the characters found in it.  While watching a video of someone else playing a game is fun, it takes away the interactive aspect of it, which is what I believe I’m paying for when I buy a game.

So, to me it’s the same as watching a friend’s video that he or she bought.  On top of that, the fans who were nice enough to translate it for us English-speakers didn’t ask for anything in return, so why look a gift horse in the mouth?  I’m sure even Judge Courtney would agree.

Dear Eveshowrtc,

Thanks! The “To Modthorne” tag has been added already, so that’s a good update now. Now you can ask to specifically me or the Co-Mod. It’s a lot more organized~!

Dear Inferno,

I can do this job while I’m in high school because my high school is unique and I don’t get a lot of homework. That will change in september most likely, but I’m sure I’ll still have enough time for this.

Dear FernandoLemon,

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get the link to the typo. The Co-Mod captured this for me while I was busy, and he didn’t save the link for me. But by the way you’re wording it, I’m sure it’s not too bad. If you would like me to look at it, maybe you could send it to me on my main blog, prcttylittlcnightmarcs.

Co-Mod:

Edit: It’s been fixed!  Sorry about that.

Dear SC,

Not at all -- questions are what I’m here for!

My rankings for favorite games, from top to bottom, are as follows:

1. Dual Destinies

2. Spirit of Justice

3. Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney

4. Trials and Tribulations

5. AA Investigations: Miles Edgeworth

6. AA Investigations 2: Prosecutor’s Path

7. Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney

8. Justice For All

9. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney

(As an interesting side note here, this is one of those rare series where I rate sequels as being better than their predecessors.)

My favorite music from the entire series is undoubtedly the Pursuit theme from Dual Destinies, Keep Pressing On.  No other song sounds quite as epic and invigorating, and it just fits beautifully with the “Now we’re getting somewhere!” atmosphere of the game.  A close second would be the Pursuit theme from AA Investigations, Lying Coldly.  I’ve also always enjoyed the Turnabout Sisters’ Ballad from the trilogy.

My favorite protagonist (and overall character) would have to be Athena Cykes, since she and I have a lot in common, and since she’s just plain awesome.  My other favorites are:

Rival: Miles Edgeworth

Assistant: Maya Fey

Villain: The main villain of AA Investigations 2, whose name I won’t divulge

Main Character: Phoenix Wright

Victim: Mia Fey

Witness: Phineas Filch

And as the Modthorne has recently announced, letters to characters in Gyakuten Kenji 2, known in America as Ace Attorney Investigations 2: Prosecutor’s Path, will now be just ‘kay!

For those who are wondering, we’ll be using the names given to the characters in the fan translation of the game, which can be viewed here.  I would advise watching it if you haven’t in order to prepare for their letter responses.

And finally, my personal favorite Ace Attorney moment had to be this one.

You can tell Capcom wants the moment to be special when they reserve an animation for that part alone.

Dear Inferno,

Thank you very much!  I’m looking forward to it as well.  I’ve done some roleplaying before, including doing a few fun threads with the Modthorne, but never to this degree.  Here’s hoping we can keep things running as smoothly as they have been under one Mod’s supervision.

And by the way, an equal thanks to everyone who was nice enough to include some encouraging comments on my introductory letter.  I can tell this will be a great community to join.

Dear Eveshowrtc,

That’d be quite the coincidence, wouldn’t it?  I doubt someone with almost no emotion would care so much about getting revenge, though.

Dear Eveshowrtc,

Well, that would explain where he got it.

If he picked up an exclamation from Von Karma, it would probably be, “I’ll strangle this puppy with my bear hands!” or something.

Dear Apollo,

Thank you.

I’ve been wanting someone to do that for years.
