#Yeah AA5 is terrible but to pretend it started there is wrong

🎩ON THAT NOTE THOUGH

Apollo Justice has extremely likeable characters, but plot wise is not nearly as good as people remember.

AJ is the DGS1 of the original series, it’s meant to lead into other things and set up plot points for later. But doing that leaves you with a kind of shallow experience when it’s on it’s lonesome.

And because AA team A basically abandoned any chance of a sequel for Ghost Trick, then professor layton, there is no follow up like DGS got with DGS2.

There’s many examples but “Trucy hides her real personality behind multiple masks” is the example we tend to point to because... why does that matter? That doesn’t really change anything narratively. It’s so unimportant to the story that team B FORGOT it’s her character.

So we have a bunch of interesting likeable characters interacting in a story where a lot of those traits don’t really matter and have no real impact to the plot.

It’s a game about moving on, that never fully embraces what it has now, for a hypothetical future entry that never was going to come anyway.
