pspspspspssps bites ur ankle to get ur attention How do i get into ace attorney

KGDFOYALHH DID VJDLVLHGKX ED CLHDKHCK sorry. normal now. okay so

i recommend starting with the original trilogy of games!!!!! theyre like violently widely available which is really cool, i suggest the switch ports bc thats what i played and it was great but they're also on ds, wii, steam, and there are mobile ports that work p well! i also rbed a post that has links to roms of everything right under this, but i have yet to test them. ALSO ALSO, if you would prefer a playthrough with commentary there are tons of great ones on the first game and my personal all time favorite is press buttons and talk, who have covered the entire trilogy and the first investigations game (theyr so funny and they care ab the series sm i love it i would personally recommend playing the games for yourself but still watching their playthroughs afterwards) HOWEVER none of them play the bonus fifth case of the first game which is like one of the best in the series and introduces a character thats really important later on so be careful there

my personal recommendation for what order to play the games in is obviously chronological order, going ace attorney, justice for all, trials and tribulations (these 3 are literally always sold as a package deal except on like the ds) them optionally investigations 1 and 2 (these r spinoffs about edgeworth that only get vaguely referenced in future games, and 2 doesn't have an official translation so ur only options there are romming the fan translation [one of the press buttons and talk guys worked on it!!!] and watching a playthrough [jelloapocalypses is really funny and good but his playthrough of the last part of the final case is lost media which sucks ASS i wanna see it again so bad]) and then apollo justice (either ur favorite or least favorite game. i think u would be an aj fan but we'll see) then dual destinies (🤮) and then spirit of justice (🤮)

there's also 2 other spin offs with a completely different cast thats set in feudal japan and england thats made by the guy who made the original trilogy and apollo justice and theyre probably the best games in the series (i don't know! i have not finished them!) and they just got translated so they just have a switch and a steam port for now

this probably looks a little bit complicated but thats just me likimg to ramble ace attorney is like 100% one of the easiest game series out there to get into and i think you would like it a lot i suggest either buying romming or watching a playthrough of the first game its so so great there r so many amazing characters

lee my dear mutual lee ur aa posting has inspired me and i am now going 2 play the games do u know which one I should start with?? :0

WHEEEEEEE SPINS YOU AROUND IN A CIRCLE IM SO EXCITED TO HEAR THIS

ok so people debate about the order a bit because there’s some spin-offs but here is my general understanding and also personal opinion of what order you should play the games in.

1. phoenix wright ace attorney. you must play this one first. it is the first game and sets up everything

2. ace attorney justice for all. the second game in the Main Trilogy. introduces important characters and also a new game mechanic (the magatama) that is crucial going forward

3. ace attorney trials and tribulations. has the meat of The Lore of the main trilogy characters. a very very very good game

you could honestly stop there and have a totally satisfying narrative! these are the first three and they all go together to tell one big story. and it wraps it up nicely! if you want to play the rest of the series you have some options because there’s spin-offs but my plan is to go like this

4. apollo justice ace attorney (im playing this one right now)

5. miles edgeworth investigations (this is an optional spinoff but i like edgeworth) which takes place chronologically before apollo justice actually but i have aj checked out from the library so im in a hurry. i watched the first case and a half of this before rushing off to ajaa

at that point i wanna reevaluate whether i want to keep going and play dual destinies and spirit of justice because im really not sure. ive heard bad things ab soj and i don’t care too much for the style of the newer mainline games. i may play them because i want to see athena. oh there’s also a second edgeworth investigations game which never got an official translation which i DO plan on trying to play at some point cuz there’s a fan translation. is this too much information is your brain shriveling up yet. sorry. there’s also a professor layton crossover game WAIT I FORGOT DGS there’s another pair of spinoffs that take place in the victorian era with phoenixs ancestor who is friends with sherlock holmes. all this to say this game series is an enormous commitment and even i who enjoys it very much will probably Not Ever play all of these games. anyway you literally only asked me which one to start with. PHOENIX WRIGHT ACE ATTORNEY! the rest. oh man. we can cross that bridge when we come to it 😭

see this is what fucks me up right: this isn’t how you would interact with merely a friend of your dad’s like in the few canonical interactions between these two trucy shows a whole lot of trust and familiarity with edgeworth like it genuinely feels she thinks of him as her other father

[1960z]

kinda disgusting how in love they are actually

[1960z]

so apollo thinks phoenix is knowledgeable about marriage huh? ….. I wonder who he thinks he’s married to?

[1960z]

1. I love the idea of the judge hanging out with them outside of court 2. edgeworth girl get ur shit together

[1960z]

the dramatic irony of retinz convincing himself that he still ultimately bested the gramaryes because only apollo could see through his tricks and not trucy meanwhile we know apollo is actually magnifi gramarye’s grandson is fucking delicious

[1960z]

the cowardice in not letting him say “my dear wright”

[1960z]

it wouldn’t be a sequel trilogy game without apollo doing the most to convince everyone he’s totally above finding klavier hot and sexy and would never think of him that way

[1960z]

it’s always “oh the gavinners suck” “klavier’s so pompus” but you recognise their logo even on a burnt up piece of fabric? ok.

[1960z]

he’s such a dork but he’s so well meaning. literally pulled the “I’m here if you need to talk 🥺” on literal royalty

[1960z]

this is an insane interaction. I’m kind of living for it though. phoenix wright and his 15 year old daughter breadwinner

[1960z]

jesus christ just say u want him to fuck you

[1960z]

phoenix is proud of him 🥹

[1960z]

I’ve missed klavier flirting at apollo
