Wright & Co. Law Offices Commercial (Objection.lol)

Hi! My name is Phoenix Wright. Did you know you have rights? The Constitution says you do, and so do I!

Guys you won’t believe what I made! This was so much fun to make, it’s basically a parody of the “Better Call Saul” Commercial because I thought it fit the vibe of Ace Attorney and wanted to make my own. You can watch the “Better Call Saul” Commercial here!

I hope you guys liked it! I worked really hard on it (The first time I’ve ever actually manually added music into a video of mine)

What's all this about Solas speaking in iambic pentameter? English isn't my first language so I never noticed anything odd about the way he talks, but your blog is the first time I've seen it mentioned by anyone

hello! ◕‿◕ Solas sometimes speaks in a specific pattern or rhythm. It sometimes gets described as or compared by people to iambic pentameter. (which is a type of rhythm common in traditional English poetry. Shakespeare used it in his sonnets and plays.) Though, I'm not sure that it's actually literally that or always that. The main point is that at those times, he's speaking particularly poetically, with a specific poetic rhythm in his speech. (Like where the stress on syllables is and the 'beats' in his speech.) Occasionally, the Inquisitor's dialogue line[s] in response to him are the same.

When Trick Weekes wrote Solas in DA:I, they wrote some of his key scenes to KD Lang's cover of the song Hallelujah on a loop. They talked about some of their process and the reasons for the use of this technique in terms of Solas' characterization in this DA:I-era blog post:

Trick Weekes: "When Solas talks about things that he saw in the Fade, things that speak to a distant past, I needed him to sound ever so slightly otherworldly and wistful – someone remembering a dream with a sense of both sadness and inevitability. If you follow [that link] and look at some of Solas’s lines, you may notice a familiar rhythm come out. It would have been forcing it to give lines the same rhyme scheme, but giving the words the meter captured some of that wistfulness and made Solas sound ever so slightly otherworldly. (In the rare cases the player got into the same rhythm, there was always an approval bump from Solas. For that brief period, it was like the player was thinking like he did.) I used this a few times over the game, and I love what it did to his voice. Also, Cori (who edited Solas) is exceedingly kind for putting up with my request that changes to those lines keep this surreptitious rhythm."

An example of when it happens in DA:I is:

"I've journeyed deep into the Fade // in ancient ruins and battlefields // to see the dreams of lost civilizations. I've watched as hosts of spirits clash // to reenact the bloody past // in ancient wars both famous and forgotten. Every great war // has its heroes. // I'm just curious // what kind you'll be."

Compare this with the song's lyrics:

"I heard there was a secret chord // That David played, and it pleased the Lord // You don't really care for music, do ya? Well it goes like this: The fourth, the fifth // The minor fall, the major lift // The baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah // Hallelujah // Hallelujah // Hallelujah"

An example from Trespasser is:

"I lay in dark and dreaming sleep [I heard there was a secret chord] while countless wars and ages passed [That David played, and it pleased the Lord] I woke still weak a year before I joined you. [You don't really care for music, do ya?]" etc.

Recent mentions of this are:

Q. Will Solas still occasionally or dramatically speak in iambic pentameter? A. “Massive kudos to Patrick, who always writes Solas so well. Again, Solas is a returning character. It’s the same Solas you know and love (or hate depending on who you are). The same writer. So I think the answer is yeah, it’s Solas.” – John Epler

User: "you really went off with solas. but the iambic pentameter makes writing fanfic dialogue for him so treacherous..." Trick Weekes: "It doesn't always have to be in the cadence! Just when he's deeply feeling The Old Days! He's written in standard prose 99% of the time!"

I think he does it a bit in the gameplay reveal video [Veil ripping scene with Varric] too. hope this helps :>

chapter 2 - reincarnation (masterpost here)

Law school actually made me change my opinion on what is my favorite Ace Attorney game, no joke. Before attending law school, it was Trials and Tribulations, mainly because I like the story and Godot is a pretty awesome character.

After law school…AA4. None of the other games come even close.

Klavier is 100% the best prosecutor in the series, solely because he comes the closest to how real life prosecutors are (I promise you, they’re not evil villains trying to improve their conviction record). Ema Skye is the best detective because of how jaded she is, which feels appropriate because that’s how most people feel once they start working in criminal law (source: me, who has actually worked on criminal cases).

Also, I feel a lot closer to Apollo Justice than I did to Phoenix Wright. No offense to Phoenix, but I like how AA4 really honed in on how frustrated Apollo feels with the justice system. Like when Phoenix revealed he used falsified evidence, that felt…I don’t want to say true to life, but I like the ethical dilemma there. I mean, in law school, there’s a whole SUBJECT dedicated to ethics, so I appreciate AA4’s willingness to discuss this topic.

Also also, a JURY SYSTEM. Holy shit, an actual jury system! And Phoenix got disbarred for using falsified evidence! Actual consequences from the state bar! And the main case was concerning a will/inheritances!

I’m not gonna say AA4 was a perfect game, and it’s still not a perfect representation of the legal field. But it’s the only AA game that I played that comes closest, which is a low bar but hey, they at least set the bar.

hello! you probably already got a question like this. I'm going back to Dragon Age after 10 years, I played inquisition + dlcs but I'm completely lost in the plot after that point. Do you have any useful links or recommendations? 🙏

hello! ◕‿◕ welcome back!! we're now at around 9:52 Dragon (roughly, maybe). :D
