Why The Ace Attorney Trilogy Is a Masterpiece

  • A glaring omission from my roster of videos would be the Ace Attorney franchise. I have referenced it, used music from it, and been inspired by it in countless videos over the years, but I never once made a dedicated video on the subject. So today, I sought to right that wrong by doing one huge video on the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy. This video covers my thoughts on Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice For All, and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations.

    What I find so interesting about Rise from the Ashes as a case is that, while it is set between games, you can *really* tell that the writers for it were way more experienced at writing cases. You can do this just by comparing it to the other cases in the first game. It's not that those cases were bad or anything, but over the years of writing the trilogy, you can really tell that they honed their craft.
    Rise from the Ashes is the first 3-day trial that actually feels like it *needs* to be a 3-day trial. After the first game, the writers didn't make any other three-day trials. This is because the 3rd investigation day tended to be rather perfunctory. By that point, you know who the killer is and probably have a good idea of how to prove it, so the only thing you're doing is filling in a few blanks.
    RftA avoids this problem cleverly. Because it's not 1 3-day trial; it's *three* one-day trials. The first trial is the trial of what happened in the parking lot. The second day is what happened in the evidence room. And the third day is what *really* happened in SL-9. It's extremely clever and engaging, as you're frequently investigating new areas and crime scenes. But ultimately, the game ties them all together at the end.
    You can also tell that the writers of RftA struggled a bit with not having the Magatama as a mechanic. As a game design tool, Magatama interactions were used to structure your discussions and investigations. When you found someone with a lock that couldn't be broken, the game was able to prompt you as to where you might need to investigate further. This replaced some of the fetch quests in the first game, and it was a very welcome mechanic.
    But RftA didn't have that mechanic. So the third investigation day involves a lot of lengthy conversations and exposition dumps that are important and essential, but they don't involve much interaction. It's just people talking at you until they run out of dialog. It works, but it feels... off.
    And you can really tell the developers wanted that final conversation with Lana to be a Magatama thing very badly.

    Even Capcom themselves were surprised that this series took off in the West. They had to make like four more shipments worth of copies for the first one. I think the reason why AA and Danganronpa proved popular is that, unlike most visual novels, they have actual gameplay elements to them.

    I know this is a lot to ask, but if Ace Attorney returns, I really hope that it sorta strays away from the entire story of the first 6 games and starts anew. Furthermore, I want it to be created with a trilogy already planned out, that way events from the first game can be more cleverly foreshadowing the events of the subsequent games. Maybe themes and symbols can carry over. I dunno. Just an idea

    Justice For All´s finale is to this day my favorite case. It just had everything I loved in the series.
    For Trials and Tribulations, I can see why it is so beloved, but remember hating the ending, making Godot look like an idiot for having Misty Fey die. I just thought that was the most avoidable death ever as a kid.

    • @thunderphoenix256
      @thunderphoenix256 8 месяцев назад +20

      Well, it IS an avoidable death, but that’s an intentional bit of writing. Godot’s entire plan was enacted not just out of a selfless desire to protect Maya, but out of a misguided attempt to escape his self-loathing by making up for what he perceived as a failure on his part to protect Mia.
      Godot isn’t an idiot, he’s a man with a savior complex processing his grief in an unhealthy manner. He himself admits that he should’ve handled things better and gotten help from someone else like Phoenix, instead of trying to be the hero and solving everything by himself. Misty’s death WAS completely pointless in the end, happening due to Godot’s actions as a tragic villain, and that intentionally adds to the tragedy of the entire case.

    • @marts4169
      @marts4169 8 месяцев назад +8

      @@thunderphoenix256 Nicely said. What bothers me is that Godot didn´t even consider simply talking to Pearl, instead going right away with the convoluted plan of forcing Misty out of hiding, trying to distract Pearl and when that failed have Misty channel Dahlia herself. Simply telling Pearl "please be nice and don´t channel this one murderous psychopath for Maya´s sake" might have been worth a try. I know she was a child and under instructions from her mother to do so, but I also remember her being smart and very loyal to Maya, so it was always jarring to me that an option of just explaining the situation to her was never presented in the story. It made Pearl look less like a sentient being and more like a ticking timebomb.
      Now that I think of it, I actually don´t remember how stabbing Misty even solved the situation. Sure, it was to save Mays, but wasn´t Dahlia then just set free to be channeled by someone else? Couldn´t the grown man just apprehend and incapacitate this vengeful university student?
      What also bothers me is that Godot then tried to hide this act and not take responsibility for the outcome of his plan right away, all in some sick pursuit of testing Wright.

    Awesome to see coverage of one of my favorite gaming trilogies from one of my favorite channels. Funny enough you pointed out the issues with how the legal system works in the series when it's legit based on how the Japanese legal system does indeed work (to an extent). Yep the odds are severely stacked against defense attorneys, the prosecution works with the police investigation, and a guilty verdict is more likely than not. It's extremely common for Japanese prosecutors to have a perfect or near perfect record. The series was partially meant to be a criticism of how messed up the justice system is over there.

    I thought the same about Godot not being as agressive as Edgeworh and Franziska, but I thing it's because despite his grudge with Phoenix, he doesn't cheat with fake evidence or tampering his witness testimonies.

    FYI, The AAI games focus on Edgeworth except his role is more like a detective investigating the crime, so don't expect any trials, but you still interrogate a lot of witnesses, including the true culprit of every case, which pretty similar to the trial sections of classic AA, and investigation sections, instead of being point and click, now have you moving Edgeworth and his partner around the crime scene and inspecting every suspicious nook and cranny.
    The 2nd AAI game is Japan exclusive tho, so you would have to play the pretty faithful fan translation instead

I needed to play the other two games immediately afterwards so I went out and bought them with my own money as a sophomore in high school. I don't regret it for a second. I really can't get into The Great Ace Attorney (the first two cases of the first one drag on so damn long that I got bored halfway through case 2 and didn't pick it back up), but these three games will always be at the top of my favorites list, with JFA being my favorite since it was the first one I experienced.

    Ace Attorney was a key part to me discovering Ghost Trick. Had I not watched the best part of the game (the witness and lawyer breakdowns), I wouldn't have notified the algorithm to show me more similar videos, and as a result, I never would've encountered Ghost Trick.
    Also of note, there's a spinoff series that focuses on Edgeworth! It was only released in Japan, though, IIRC, so you'll have to find fan-localized versons. I think.

    I got this game two months ago and I gotta say I’ve never played a visual novel game before this, and I way immediately hooked! Every single case had me wanting more even turnabout big top(not including the love triangle thing, but recipe for turnabout was weirder in my opinion) and the music was some the best music I have ever listened to, and I’m a Sonic and undertale fan so you can say I got high standards. I’d heard of AA before this and I even played the first case of DD but it was as the final credits rolled that I finally understood why Phoenix Wright was such a hallowed franchise. I wish I could play it over blind, absolutely amazing and I’m excited for the Apollo justice trilogy!

    Also, you should definitely play The Great Ace Attorney Duology, their are one of the best if not the best games in the Ace Attorney Series, also a little off but I have to say, Ghost Trick is pretty good as well, I really recommend checking it out if you like Ace Attorney.

    I have so many fond memories. I got into this series by watching Lucahjin’s Blind LPs and she was a great person to be along for the ride with. Despite many people (including herslef) associating Lucah with crude humor she took the games pretty seriously with her acting bringing the chaarcters to life (her voices for Mia, Pearl, Larry and Franziska have become the voices I read their lines in) and was very good at them. I think she only got about 5 or 6 penalties across the 3 games.
    After she wrapped up the trilogy (which by the way felt like a big event since she did JFA and T&T back to back) I got on to playing the later games… and found out I’m pretty trash at them, seriously I make Sebastian Debeste look competent. So I mainly buy for supporting the series and just watch blind LPs from her, NicoB, and Pixel Partners

  • @TheBeserkerLord
    @TheBeserkerLord 8 месяцев назад

    I love this series to death and like many others, it's how I got into other visual novels like Danganronpa and Professor Layton. (Naturally, the crossover was the first Layton game I played.) Really hope you do the rest of the series, in part because you need to experience it yourself and in part because everything outside the original trilogy needs more love. The Apollo Justice trilogy in particular is criminally underrated and if you're willing to give Turnabout Big Top of all things a fair shake, then it deserves some better coverage.
    By the way, that nitpick about traveling around locations is actually fixed in later games. I don't remember when the shift happened exactly, but I know The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles at least does have all the locations available at once.

    I've always liked Rise from the Ashes, it's a great case and super satisfying to solve. But it's true that it's too damn long, the first time it's amazing, but whenever I replay the trilogy every couple of years to refresh my memory, I kinda dread the arrival of that chapter. But then you solve it again and it feels gooood.

    Earlier this year I managed to snag nearly entire series on the new 2ds xl cheap because there was a massive sale when the eshop was closing. Like each was about 3 bucks it was crazy. I didn’t get investigations 1 and the layton cross over and of course no great ace attorney games because they aren’t on the 3ds of course. But yeah i throughly enjoyed the series although definitely needed to use a guide many times when i get stumped. although i probably didn’t need to as much as i did because i didn’t realize you could save at any time, so i was constantly worried about getting things wrong or else i would have to go back to the last save checkpoint.
