#play with your aas not with me

Why are so many Black people crying "pandering" over other Black people in previously white roles. This isn't an example of forced representation, it's an example of opening up roles. If a character is not a part of a particular group or culture that relies in part on race, that character can be played by anyone. Ariel wasn't born to be in the klan - she is a mermaid, race here is irrelevant. Retina Wesley showing up in "Last of Us" shows great acting skills when she read for the role. Shitting on people's skill bc you're uncomfortable with a change is messed up.

Miss me with the "Let Malcolm X be played by a white guy" because you and your momma are morons for that. If a character has deep roots, culture and historical relevance that ties in with their race then someone of that race should play them. Same for differently able people - this is how representation works. Not assuming someone got a role to fill a quote. Stop swimming in your own thoughts and engage with the world.

If there's anything I've felt about ace attorney since playing through the original trilogy, it's how cheated I've felt about the fandom interpretation of it. Y'all were so caught up with your gay boys and your Miles Edgeworths I didn't realize how much of this game was about WOMEN. THE CORE OF ACE ATTORNEY IS IN ITS FEMALE CHARACTERS. From Mia jumpstarting Phoenix and guiding him throughout the whole trilogy even after her death, her presence being the primary connecter of Phoenix and Maya, Maya and Godot, heck even Dahlia and Iris and the whole lot of them. From Franziska's earnest faith and consolation of Miles Edgeworth, even begrudgingly, pulling him out the trauma of his childhood with the face to face confrontation of a bullet wound in the same spot as the man who killed his father. Lana and Ema dragging Phoenix back into the thing he does best. Lana and Ema who's tragic story lies in a pair of sisters ruined by the heinous law system and their unconditional love for each other. Dahlia and Iris with a different version of sisterly tragedy, struggling through generational trauma in separate settings and support systems. The matter of the Fey tradition looming over the entire narrative and all the legal and social terror that comes with it. CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE ACE ATTORNEY WOMEN.

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

losing "the sight of that man" line was a tragic loss for the narumitsuers but off the top of my head the most visceral line losses I felt were "you literally jumped into my life" and "you should be grateful! I gave you the chance to play the ace attorney!" because the official translations were kinda giving me nothing. the monologue around "sight of that man" is still very impactful when referring only to gregory, but the other two did not hit nearly as hard and were some of my favorite lines in the fan translation.

My face when I realize one of my favorite AA cosplayers (tunaricebowl) reblogs my little fanarts 😳😳😳

Insane to me when ppl criticize a mystery series having mysteries left “unfinished” at the end. Girl, it’s not “unfinished” it’s setting shit up for later, and, as someone joining in on a mystery series, you signed up for that being a possibility.

Idc what anyone says, Investigations is the best AA game no doubt, purely because I can drag that little red asshole across the screen like the idiot he is T-T

I'm almost done playing dgs 2 (2 more cases 2 go) but ourghhhh its so good. I wanted to ask who your favourite characters are

I'm SO glad you're playing the games they are super good I agree

And GOOD QUESTION.. especially bc I like so many of them

-> Kazuma technically has been my favorite from the beginning but there's a special place in my heart for both Iris and Susato .. what can I say I just end up really liking all the Weird Girls in each game (Trucy, Rayfa, Maya, etc.)

-> also really got into Ryuu for some reason he is still high up there on my faves .. I could not tell you what it is abt him lol

-> Sholmes is actually incredibly good too ..

and like I don't want to just mention everyone in the main character roster lol so I think I'd say my top three are : Kazuma, Ryuu/Iris are tied, and Susato

my personal hc is that before cain and able had their little disastrous reunion at daevon (empire of dirt canon), cain had a lock of able’s hair braided into his own

I'm currently playing the Ace Attorney trilogy on Switch. Do you have any thoughts on Case 1-5? (I certainly do but I'll make my own post in due time.)

Case 1-5 is Rise from the Ashes, right? It's been awhile since my deep-dive into AA, but I remember really loving the intrigue of that case. It's not my most beloved case (that probably goes to Turnabout Goodbyes), but I remember really enjoying the twists and turns of how the story for Rise from the Ashes unfolded. I really love Ema too, although she unfortunately doesn't make a story appearance after this for a while in the mainline games. Also it's always fun to make fun of Edgeworth's garish bright red car, which makes its debut in this case...what a hideous car, he never gets rid of it either, I love it.
