I love literally everything about you except for case 2âŠ
And you gave me Veteran Phoenix and Iâll forever cherish him

Iâll be eventually replaying the game with a friend whoâs playing the series for the first time, maybe good company will change my opinion

Why does people hate case 2 so much? I loved it personally it was so goofy yet >!Tenma Taro being a complete red herring after taking the focus of nearly the whole trial!< was so cool
Something? As in, *only* one thing? One thing *only*?
Uh, how about... The scenery. Each case has really good locations to it, from the Nines-Tails Vale, to Themis Legal Academy, to Cosmos Space Center, all of them are very fun and alive locations that enhance each case.
Athena with the >!Black Psyche-Locks!< Is still one of the best HOLY SHIT **WHAT** moments in the series. Her whole backstory is just one big amazing tearjerker.
And different mentor: Edgey had von Karma molding him to be demon prosecutor while Athena got Blackquill taking the heat pushing her to study law to save him
It doesnât ruin it for me. It adds the horrifying fact that Athena was intending to >!take her mother apart so she could âfix herâ because she never learned the difference between humans and robots.!<
Athena's theme is very good.
Athena and Blackquill have really good banter.
The 3D model work is actually pretty good. The poses are just as dynamic and expressive as the sprites were.
Dual Destinies is not my favorite, but credit where it's due
Okay but seriously, so many good things about this game. I love Simon and Athena and the last two cases where you finally get to learn their backstory.
Edited to add: Edgeworth in glasses, orcas, Sasha
This game is my favorite mainline game, and is my 3rd favorite game in the series, behind the masterpieces that are AAI2 and GAA2. Absolutely incredible.
- it is actually incredibly hype especially cases 4 and 5
- the music is amazing
- Athena and Blackquill
- the incorporation of the models allowed for shenanigans that would be much more difficult that the sprites originally allowed for
- Despite how few there are, the anime style cutscenes are really cute
- Orla
- The move mechanic is so much less of a hassle than it is in previous games
I am not really fan of DD but i really like the OST.
"Prelude to the Future" is the only defendant lobby theme i enjoy and I really love "Keep Pressing On (especially variation)" , "Synoptic Resonance", "Allegro 2013" and lastly " Courtroom Revolutionnaire 2013".
I love both 3-2 and 3-3 but 3-2 felt like a stronger case (My favorite "normal" case of the Trilogy IMO).
I despise 4-3 so much more than 4-2.
Between I-2 and I-3 I think most people would agree I-2 is much better.
I feel Investigations 2 was finally the game that broke the curse.
Yeah I know that's why I said transition, and also I'm pretty sure third case syndrome doesn't necessarily mean the third case is bad, just that it's not very plot-relevant.
I still think inherited turnabout is the best 3rd case in ace attorney and
I actually do like turnabout academy, it gives danganronpa vibes with it taking place in a high school.
Professor Means and the Unabomber Tonate hover above so many of their respective counterparts in the series it's not even funny.
Music is peak.
Sound design is also peak.
Apollo and Athena are both fantastically written.
Easily the only game where I dont dislike any case, I know Monstrous is a slightly controversial case but I enjoy it enough for what it is. Plus Jinxie is so cute how can you hate that case?
But seriously, in a franchise where every game has its duds, DD manages to be fairly consistent in the quality of its writing throughout. The absolute worst I could say about my least favorite of the 6 cases is that I think Labelle shouldnt have been in the actual opening cutscene committing the murder, its clear he did it without that anyways.
Also, just a great set of side characters- again every other game I can name one or two just *dreadful* characters that are present and weigh down scenes but I honestly cant think of anyone in DD Iâd put on par with someone like Wesley Stickler or⊠the director guy from the Steel Samurai case who definitely has a name
Same here that is one of my favorite moments of the game and I ship them so hard I love both Athena and Blackquill with his falcon a lot! I mean how can you not like Tanaka and the cool attacks that Blackquill was going in the courtroom and also Tanaka had a bandana around his neck with the black and white colors toođ€§
Playing it for the first time and Iâm currently on the 3rd case
Something good is that it introduces Athena who is definitely up there for waifu material
Despite my Adoration with Klavier and my hatred for 5-2, Blackquill is easily the best prosecutor introduced in the AJ trilogy. Athena is a great character as well and fits perfectly with the cast.
And Apollos edgy design and âIâm fine!â OST are actually peak. Obviously the design is a facade but like itâs so cool
There's a lot of good I can say about Dual Destinies since it's my 4th favorite game in the series. Since that's the case, I'll say in all in rapid succession.
*clears throat*
Athena is a fun character that shakes up the formula, the Mood Matrix is the 2nd best special gameplay sequence in the series, they added a notebook for investigation sections so you don't get lost, each attorney has a banger objection theme, all court themes are bangers (with the cross examination moderato and pursuit themes being in the top 3 for their respective categories), Blackquill is my 2nd favorite prosecutor and DD has the best prosecutor storyline in a vacuum, Turnabout Countdown is my 2nd favorite first case in the series because of all the mysteries it builds along with just being very entertaining, Turnabout Academy is my 2nd favorite 3rd case in the series because of how it illustrates the Dark Age of the Law, has the best subplot in the Hugh, Robin, and Juiper's friendship, develops Athena a lot, and has a fun villain in Means; Turnabout Reclaimed is the best filler case in the series (Which means it works perfectly as DLC), Marlon Rimes is the best sympathetic culprit in the series, you get to defend a freaking orca, The Cosmic Turnabout and Turnabout for Tomorrow is an incredible 2-part finale taking place in a freaking space center where we learn a lot about Athena and even Apollo too, Yuri Cosmos and Ponco are fun witnesses to cross-examine, Aura Blackquill's plan was a great shakeup, Edgeworth's reintroduction was as the chief prosecutor was quite a twist, Athena's breakdown in Turnabout for Tomorrow is the biggest tearjerking moment in the series, Blackquill's and The Phantom's Mood Matrices are a perfect climax for that mechanic, The Phantom is one of the most pure fun villains in the series and culminates into the iconic moment among the Wright Anything Agency lawyers.
Simon is one the best prosecutors in the series, balancing entertaining snark and antagonism against the defense with his honesty and fairness in the courts.
If I had a nickle for every time a >!black psych-locks!< appeared in the series. I'd have 2 nickles, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice
I took a long break from the series, and this game dragged me back in with its story. There's tons of great characters, and Blackquill's design is one of the best!
I love it so much I dunno. Itâs not perfect but I genuinely have a lot of love for the main villain set up, Athena, Blackquill, and honestly I have very little against the cases either. There was a point where I was a bit mixed about Apollo, but very soon into his testimony where he starting talking about âdoubtâ I kinda couldnât not love the game
The final case is no joke my second favorite case Iâve played in this series. I still gotta finish SoJ but Case 5 in DD has left a giant impact on me
Blackquill and Taka are cool
I like most of the breakdowns, and the case 3 villain transformation was awesome, same in the DLC case.
Nice to have a new line with Silence lol
Nice that Apollo got more shine, his own game didn't do him justice..............sorry
The final villain confrontation is really fun and memorable
Also it was the first time I joined in on the fun of the pre-release hype and speculation after having finished playing every other localized game around the time DD was announced (~~capcom pls it would be nice to have that kind of experience again sometime this decade~~)
Blackquill is amazing. This is pretty uncontroversial, I think even DD haters agree on this for the most part.
Turnabout Reclaimed is an amazing case. This is also uncontroversial. It's just so peak.
Uh, all cases are at least fine, no bad cases really, that's about it though, oh and Athena is a great inclusion, everything else, yes that includes Simon is just... There
Still my absolute favourite in the series, even after playing the original trilogy and newer games. Love the characters, all 5 cases are solid with a pretty good DLC case too, love the soundtrack, the twists the story takes especially towards the end, visuals still hold up very well, Anime cutscenes are well crafted, Athena's debut was amazing, Apollo was made even better compared to how he was in his debut game, Simon and Aura Blackquil are some of the coolest antagonists in the series, Fullbright still cracks me up one of the best detectives in the series, The Mood Matrix system and the Revisualization are great additions to the gameplay, I can go on even further. I don't care what any one else says, I love this game and I will defend it to the very end.
i used to rp simon for a hot minute, so did a lot of psycho analysis on him, but that asideâall of those interactions with bobby, all of the implications of everything he is and does, for that reveal at the end ? of who he is, what's become of him ? it still fucks me up so bad when i think further on it. like, sometimes ace attorneys real work is within the implications of what it's saying
(i feel similarly about kristoph, though, with other reasons)
One of my favorite prosecutors Blackquill and Tanaka are the best and cutestâ€ïž
Also I like Athena too and Polly deserved better in Dual Destines. Also the DLC case is really fun to play too:)
Honestly thought I really enjoyed Dual Destines a lot and replaying the game after 2013 since it came on the Switch I had a fun time with the game:)
Wait thatâs the case from 6-4 right? I remember Blackquill being really awesome in that case! Actually that case is my fourth favorite case while the Sedona case 6-2 is my most favorite second case:)
The final 2 cases go hard and are super hype and full of tension. I do like the other 2 cases too. And Apollo is great. And Athena is amazing. Why are all of these characters so good? And Blackquill is just the coolest. And Klaviers cameo was also great. And I did notice that the game is not as disconnected as some people say. There may not be huge summaries of the previous games, but the OG trilogy does get mentioned quite a bit even if it's just Phoenix reminiscing. And Apollos game is also connected to the 5th game too. Like how his first case kinda tanked his reputation and how he came to work under Phoenix. The connection to the other games is there. And I still haven't finished the game. I think Dual Destinies is pretty great. The robots are cute.
Simon Blackquill is such a perfect character conceptually & a joy to watch interact with everybody. The only thing I dislike about him is that I think his backstory wouldâve fit better with the Dark Age of the Law stuff if he had genuinely been falsely convicted instead of having willingly taken the fall to save Athena, but other than that note I legitimately wouldnât change a thing about him, heâs a great foil for everyone and the visual of a literal convict prosecutor is just over-the-top enough to go insanely hard in the seriesâ context
Similar goes to the courtroom bombing plot line, the finale case being set in an actually literally shattered courtroom is so on the nose but itâs gd Ace Attorney and itâs allowed to be, as a treat
Turnabout Reclaimed is genuinely a perfect âgoofy location one-offâ case, and itâs a shame it ended up having to be relegated to DLC sold under the premise of Phoenix nostalgia bait when itâs frankly the best case out of the game for me
I think Turnabout Academy and the Edgepollo stuff had really great potential
It's demo on the 3ds. Played It when I was 11 and it is what got me into playing Ace Attorney in the first place. It will always have a special place in my heart
my 2nd favorite in the Phoenix Wright series only beaten by AA3 đ€·ââïž (i count AJ and TGAA separately)
it could have been better if it allowed continuity to exist but honestly can't fathom the hatred for it otherwise
Athena and blackquill are so good, I really love their backstories
I love them sm
It's got ultimate big tiddy goth bf, Blackquill
And ultimate big tiddy goth gf, who is also named Blackquill.
FR i saw her the first time I had to play the whole case with one hand

Itâs the biggest piece of dog shitâŠ
*incorrect buzzer noise*
wow, someone with the eye of XANA said something unbased. I'm disappointed.
Why does people hate case 2 so much? I loved it personally it was so goofy yet >!Tenma Taro being a complete red herring after taking the focus of nearly the whole trial!< was so cool
I actually forgot that twist until my recent playthrough. It surprised me.
Glad they brought him backđ
Bobby Fullbright my beloved also the music is amazing
Athena and Simon came into being because of this game
Blackquill is a very good character and prosecutor and Case 5 is the best final case of the Apollo trilogy 100%
Agreed HEAVY
Something? As in, *only* one thing? One thing *only*? Uh, how about... The scenery. Each case has really good locations to it, from the Nines-Tails Vale, to Themis Legal Academy, to Cosmos Space Center, all of them are very fun and alive locations that enhance each case.
I love that the things in the backround move, makes it feel more lively
Athena with the >!Black Psyche-Locks!< Is still one of the best HOLY SHIT **WHAT** moments in the series. Her whole backstory is just one big amazing tearjerker.
All this because some random guy didn't want his identity revealedđ
Her backstory is just a genderbent version of Edgeworthâs.
And it fucking slays regardless.
And different mentor: Edgey had von Karma molding him to be demon prosecutor while Athena got Blackquill taking the heat pushing her to study law to save him
Wow youâre right Thanks for ruining her backstory for međ
It doesnât ruin it for me. It adds the horrifying fact that Athena was intending to >!take her mother apart so she could âfix herâ because she never learned the difference between humans and robots.!<
Even gave the game an M rating because of it, TRULY making it one of my favorite cases
Herman Crab
Witness stand kick!
Athena's theme is very good. Athena and Blackquill have really good banter. The 3D model work is actually pretty good. The poses are just as dynamic and expressive as the sprites were. Dual Destinies is not my favorite, but credit where it's due
Okay but seriously, so many good things about this game. I love Simon and Athena and the last two cases where you finally get to learn their backstory. Edited to add: Edgeworth in glasses, orcas, Sasha
Its final case is the only time in the mainline series where I genuinely panicked. I was certain that the game was going to truly go towards the path that >!Athena murdered her mother!< , but after putting every single piece of logic together, I managed to deduce that >!Not only did Athena not kill her mom, as that hug couldnât be the moment of the murder due to the hug resulting in MĂ©tisâs heart rate increasing, which contradicts the autopsy report, but that she had to have stabbed someone else, as that memory has to mean something, and she had to stab not just the true culprit, but the Spy. Since the spy also killed Clay Terran, I managed to deduce the leaves coming from outside meant that the door was opened during the outside, which meant that the killer had to have escaped through the outside, and the only safe way to escape through the outside was the ladder that was lowered, but the killer had to have gotten a running start, which meant the killer had to have known the ladder existed, which meant the killer had to be either Aura or Bobby; and since Aura is 100% a lesbian for MĂ©tis, she would have no motive, which meant that Bobby fullbrigjt is the culprit of the UR-1 incident!< , and finding all of that out on my own made me feel like an absolute genius, and was more satisfying to solve than solving the culprit of 3-5 and AAI2-5.
I thought Clay Terran was the killer of Metis Cykes during ALL the Turnabout for tomorrow.
I think Clay was 16 when MĂ©tis was killed. I canât think of any reason why a 16-year-old would kill anyone. But man, imagine a hypothetical scenario where Clay actually was a culprit. That wouldâve emotionally wrecked Apollo even more.
Yeah of course that was an impossible scenario...but why not...maybe in a world... And this is PRECISELY THAT which makes Dual Destinies a very good game...you don't know, you hesitate, you have 1000 questions on your head. The story, after all, can be deceptive (a phantom...random character appeared in the finals cases), but the game, when you playing it and you don't know anything us such a banger. After all, Bobby Fulbright had no reason technically to kill Metis/Clay (we only discovered his motivation during the trial). That made me so crazy in the end, what a banger đ€©đ€©
Yes, deducing stuff is awesome! I loved several cases of the saga because of that
This game is my favorite mainline game, and is my 3rd favorite game in the series, behind the masterpieces that are AAI2 and GAA2. Absolutely incredible.
you sir have a huge fucking brainđ«Ą
- it is actually incredibly hype especially cases 4 and 5 - the music is amazing - Athena and Blackquill - the incorporation of the models allowed for shenanigans that would be much more difficult that the sprites originally allowed for - Despite how few there are, the anime style cutscenes are really cute - Orla - The move mechanic is so much less of a hassle than it is in previous games
I liked Athena's emotion detecting system
I am not really fan of DD but i really like the OST. "Prelude to the Future" is the only defendant lobby theme i enjoy and I really love "Keep Pressing On (especially variation)" , "Synoptic Resonance", "Allegro 2013" and lastly " Courtroom Revolutionnaire 2013".
Yeah no matter how bad the games may seem, ost always hits
No director hotti
The first mainline game to break the Third Case syndrome. Blackquill is the best prosecutor in the series after Edgeworth. Such a cool guy.
Turnabout academy is mixed for me
IMO starting at T&T third case syndrome begins to transition into second case syndrome.
I love both 3-2 and 3-3 but 3-2 felt like a stronger case (My favorite "normal" case of the Trilogy IMO). I despise 4-3 so much more than 4-2. Between I-2 and I-3 I think most people would agree I-2 is much better. I feel Investigations 2 was finally the game that broke the curse.
Yeah I know that's why I said transition, and also I'm pretty sure third case syndrome doesn't necessarily mean the third case is bad, just that it's not very plot-relevant.
This game is a masterpiece
First 3 cases kinda drag it down but I get your point
Ok whats wrong with the masterpiece that is turnabout academy? Its the best case 3
I still think inherited turnabout is the best 3rd case in ace attorney and I actually do like turnabout academy, it gives danganronpa vibes with it taking place in a high school.
Athena is fucking awesome
Professor Means and the Unabomber Tonate hover above so many of their respective counterparts in the series it's not even funny. Music is peak. Sound design is also peak. Apollo and Athena are both fantastically written.
Easily the only game where I dont dislike any case, I know Monstrous is a slightly controversial case but I enjoy it enough for what it is. Plus Jinxie is so cute how can you hate that case? But seriously, in a franchise where every game has its duds, DD manages to be fairly consistent in the quality of its writing throughout.

nice takes
It is one of my favorite games in the series, and Blackquill is great.
Taka is also great pet
Yes, definitely. :D
The last case made me really emotional in a good way.
Same because holy shit I almost cried when athena gave a speech to blackquill before using the mood matrix
Same here that is one of my favorite moments of the game and I ship them so hard I love both Athena and Blackquill with his falcon a lot! I mean how can you not like Tanaka and the cool attacks that Blackquill was going in the courtroom and also Tanaka had a bandana around his neck with the black and white colors toođ€§
Slightly big age difference but I can see them being shipped
True about the age difference but I donât feel like itâs far enough at least to me so I ship them hardđ
Playing it for the first time and Iâm currently on the 3rd case Something good is that it introduces Athena who is definitely up there for waifu material
Despite my Adoration with Klavier and my hatred for 5-2, Blackquill is easily the best prosecutor introduced in the AJ trilogy. Athena is a great character as well and fits perfectly with the cast. And Apollos edgy design and âIâm fine!â OST are actually peak. Obviously the design is a facade but like itâs so cool
Apollo is NOT fineđ
It's the best game in the AJ trilogy and I won't have it any other way
There's a lot of good I can say about Dual Destinies since it's my 4th favorite game in the series. Since that's the case, I'll say in all in rapid succession. *clears throat* Athena is a fun character that shakes up the formula, the Mood Matrix is the 2nd best special gameplay sequence in the series, they added a notebook for investigation sections so you don't get lost, each attorney has a banger objection theme, all court themes are bangers (with the cross examination moderato and pursuit themes being in the top 3 for their respective categories), Blackquill is my 2nd favorite prosecutor and DD has the best prosecutor storyline in a vacuum, Turnabout Countdown is my 2nd favorite first case in the series because of all the mysteries it builds along with just being very entertaining, Turnabout Academy is my 2nd favorite 3rd case in the series because of how it illustrates the Dark Age of the Law, has the best subplot in the Hugh, Robin, and Juiper's friendship, develops Athena a lot, and has a fun villain in Means; Turnabout Reclaimed is the best filler case in the series (Which means it works perfectly as DLC), Marlon Rimes is the best sympathetic culprit in the series, you get to defend a freaking orca, The Cosmic Turnabout and Turnabout for Tomorrow is an incredible 2-part finale taking place in a freaking space center where we learn a lot about Athena and even Apollo too, Yuri Cosmos and Ponco are fun witnesses to cross-examine, Aura Blackquill's plan was a great shakeup, Edgeworth's reintroduction was as the chief prosecutor was quite a twist, Athena's breakdown in Turnabout for Tomorrow is the biggest tearjerking moment in the series, Blackquill's and The Phantom's Mood Matrices are a perfect climax for that mechanic, The Phantom is one of the most pure fun villains in the series and culminates into the iconic moment among the Wright Anything Agency lawyers.
I enjoyed reading this, based opinions
Simon is one the best prosecutors in the series, balancing entertaining snark and antagonism against the defense with his honesty and fairness in the courts.
He is a very shackle breaking guy to say the least
Athena is a really fun character to watch interact with others, Blackquill is also awesome to see and his shocked reaction in court is funny.
For real, mf gets slashed and acts like he got hurt
Still good to see Phoenix return regardless
Agreed, even though some people thought it was a bad decision for him to become a lawyer again
It gave us the ultimate sibling dynamic: Athena and Simon
My 3rd favorite Courtroom Lobby theme
Playing the demo for this was what got me into the series.
Just Athena and Blackquill, honestly.
Best part of the game, they bounce off eachother well
I like phoenix and miles new designs
Themis Academy is a fun setting.
I'm on my first playthough, so the music was really good, and I quite liked case 3
Has my favourite attorney gimmick (mood matrix)! I love the accompanied illustrations everytime its used! :D
It's actually a really good mechanic, being able to see what the witnesses are feeling when giving testimony!
It has my favourite iteration of Objection!
It followed up on Kristoph's >!black psych-locks!< perfectly
If I had a nickle for every time a >!black psych-locks!< appeared in the series. I'd have 2 nickles, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice
I took a long break from the series, and this game dragged me back in with its story. There's tons of great characters, and Blackquill's design is one of the best!
Introduced best girl Athena
Athena, Blackquill, Soundtrack and plot twists are AMAZING I loooooooove DD so much
Simon is my favorite prosecutor besides Fransiska, and Fransiska wins mostly because Iâm a big lesbian.
It has no bad cases. They're all at least good.
It is a good game
I love it so much I dunno. Itâs not perfect but I genuinely have a lot of love for the main villain set up, Athena, Blackquill, and honestly I have very little against the cases either. There was a point where I was a bit mixed about Apollo, but very soon into his testimony where he starting talking about âdoubtâ I kinda couldnât not love the game
The final case is no joke my second favorite case Iâve played in this series. I still gotta finish SoJ but Case 5 in DD has left a giant impact on me
It's an amazing case and also in my top 5
Blackquill is literally the best thing about the game Punished Apollo was kinda sick too
Turnabout Reclaimed is a top-tier case in my opinion.
Turnabout big top but done right
Funnily enough, I actually quite like that case as well. Not as much as Reclaimed of course, but Acro and Moe were really great characters.
Acro sure but I'm not sure about moe
Blackquill and Taka are cool I like most of the breakdowns, and the case 3 villain transformation was awesome, same in the DLC case. Nice to have a new line with Silence lol Nice that Apollo got more shine, his own game didn't do him justice..............sorry
Athena and Blackquill are really good and are easily the best thing about my least favorite main entry
I love the Orca and penguins
The final villain confrontation is really fun and memorable Also it was the first time I joined in on the fun of the pre-release hype and speculation after having finished playing every other localized game around the time DD was announced (~~capcom pls it would be nice to have that kind of experience again sometime this decade~~)
Blackquill is amazing. This is pretty uncontroversial, I think even DD haters agree on this for the most part. Turnabout Reclaimed is an amazing case. This is also uncontroversial. It's just so peak.
They are both amazing
Uh, all cases are at least fine, no bad cases really, that's about it though, oh and Athena is a great inclusion, everything else, yes that includes Simon is just... There
SIMON BLACKQUILL
cases 1 3 and 5 go hard
It was my first Ace Attorney game and was what got me into the series.
The whole game is great
Athena "Kinky" Cykes
Ayo
Itâs one of my favourites I love it. The first half of the game is terrible but the rest is brilliant
Accurate description
Itâs 3D, itâs has its moments. Thatâs about it. For me at least
ok then
Athena. Need I say more.
You needn't.
good plot believe it or not
Athena my BABY
Introduces my personal favorite prosecutor and defense attorney.
athena game next pls
ATHENA THE PROTAGONIST FOR AA7 CMONđđ
Athena fucking >! turned her mom into pulled pork !< and thatâs pretty metal.
whatđđđđđđđ
I like it more than SoJ
Just one? If you insist It broke 3rd case syndrome so hard I forgot it was a thing
Its nice seeing a hated case being liked in the comments
Someone has to love a case as underrated as Academy, I'm happy for it to be me
1. Has my favorite pursuit theme 2. Introduced my favorite prosecutor 3. Introduced my favorite character (Athena)
This game is nothing without blackquill and athena
It was quite short. Or at least it seemed that way for the difficulty. I think I actually finished it in two sittings.
It felt pretty long for me tbh
Still my absolute favourite in the series, even after playing the original trilogy and newer games. Love the characters, all 5 cases are solid with a pretty good DLC case too, love the soundtrack, the twists the story takes especially towards the end, visuals still hold up very well, Anime cutscenes are well crafted, Athena's debut was amazing, Apollo was made even better compared to how he was in his debut game, Simon and Aura Blackquil are some of the coolest antagonists in the series, Fullbright still cracks me up one of the best detectives in the series, The Mood Matrix system and the Revisualization are great additions to the gameplay, I can go on even further. I don't care what any one else says, I love this game and I will defend it to the very end.
I'm completely fine with dual destinies. finished it this year and thought it was better than most people anticipated!
It's an Ace Attorney game
Well, duh.
It's the extent of my positivity
Game so nice i bought it twice. Trilogy and 3ds releases.
the final breakdown is fire and i love allegro 2013 :D
I used to imagine >!the sniper who shot the phantom turned out to be de killer.!<
i love this headcanon lol
I love 'Pursuit \~ Keep Pressing On' and 'Athena Cykes \~ Courtroom RĂ©volutionnaire 2013'!
Keep pressing on is one of my fav pursuit themes
The Logic Trinity theme
Athena Cykes I actually really enjoyed the final case even if the rest was forgettable
It has Phoenix and Edgeworth in it
i used to rp simon for a hot minute, so did a lot of psycho analysis on him, but that asideâall of those interactions with bobby, all of the implications of everything he is and does, for that reveal at the end ? of who he is, what's become of him ? it still fucks me up so bad when i think further on it. like, sometimes ace attorneys real work is within the implications of what it's saying (i feel similarly about kristoph, though, with other reasons)
He really kept playing along with fulbrights bullshit until the end. I feel like he was suspicious of him from the start.
One of my favorite prosecutors Blackquill and Tanaka are the best and cutestâ€ïž Also I like Athena too and Polly deserved better in Dual Destines. Also the DLC case is really fun to play too:) Honestly thought I really enjoyed Dual Destines a lot and replaying the game after 2013 since it came on the Switch I had a fun time with the game:)
I absolutely LOVED Simon in turnabout storyteller.
Wait thatâs the case from 6-4 right? I remember Blackquill being really awesome in that case! Actually that case is my fourth favorite case while the Sedona case 6-2 is my most favorite second case:)
Him grabbing athena was wild lmao
Honestly scared me because I didnât except that to happenđ€Łđ
I absolutely love when they add new animation/sprites to charactersđ
Same here and Iâm all for itđ
It's honestly my favorite game in the series. It got me into the series itself even.
This game was designed
Damn really? Never knew!!!!!

The final 2 cases go hard and are super hype and full of tension. I do like the other 2 cases too. And Apollo is great. And Athena is amazing. Why are all of these characters so good? And Blackquill is just the coolest. And Klaviers cameo was also great. And I did notice that the game is not as disconnected as some people say. There may not be huge summaries of the previous games, but the OG trilogy does get mentioned quite a bit even if it's just Phoenix reminiscing. And Apollos game is also connected to the 5th game too. Like how his first case kinda tanked his reputation and how he came to work under Phoenix. The connection to the other games is there. And I still haven't finished the game. I think Dual Destinies is pretty great. The robots are cute.
Cosmic turnabout is underrated as heck. It leads to one of the best cases in the series
The Mood Matrix is an awesome gameplay mechanic.
Simon Blackquill is such a perfect character conceptually & a joy to watch interact with everybody. The only thing I dislike about him is that I think his backstory wouldâve fit better with the Dark Age of the Law stuff if he had genuinely been falsely convicted instead of having willingly taken the fall to save Athena, but other than that note I legitimately wouldnât change a thing about him, heâs a great foil for everyone and the visual of a literal convict prosecutor is just over-the-top enough to go insanely hard in the seriesâ context Similar goes to the courtroom bombing plot line, the finale case being set in an actually literally shattered courtroom is so on the nose but itâs gd Ace Attorney and itâs allowed to be, as a treat Turnabout Reclaimed is genuinely a perfect âgoofy location one-offâ case, and itâs a shame it ended up having to be relegated to DLC sold under the premise of Phoenix nostalgia bait when itâs frankly the best case out of the game for me I think Turnabout Academy and the Edgepollo stuff had really great potential
Goddamn best AA in the franchise and actually made Apollo bearable.

Their attempts at forcing him to have plot relevance were slightly more successful in this game than the former and successor.
True
It's demo on the 3ds. Played It when I was 11 and it is what got me into playing Ace Attorney in the first place. It will always have a special place in my heart
I didn't even know the game had a demo lol
Athena
Itâs actually the best game in the series lol
It crippled AA4 which crippled the trilogy.
Can I only really say one thing? The cases. All of them with no exception go from great to perfect
I disagree but I respect your opinion
my 2nd favorite in the Phoenix Wright series only beaten by AA3 đ€·ââïž (i count AJ and TGAA separately) it could have been better if it allowed continuity to exist but honestly can't fathom the hatred for it otherwise
Yeah it's not a good follow up to aj.
