      “They made it work” but if you’d played any of the games you’d know how frustrating it is to play bc you can click on the right thing at the wrong time or click stuff out of order and it’s wrong. It makes no sense but at least it’s funny

    • @Master00788
      @Master00788 3 года назад +36

      Well, tbf they 'made it work' by making you only play a defense lawyer aesthetically. The games are actually very much normal detective "find the truth" games and they have to bend the law for it fundamentally to make it work in a courtroom. It's still a pretty unique change of premise, but the games are never interested in the lawyer aspect in practice.

    5:37 Actually, Phoenix's first name comes from the fact that his given name in Japanese, Ryuichi, is derived from "dragon." So, in similar fashion, his localized name would be Phoenix to carry on with the mythical beast nomenclature

    • @RewindArcade
      @RewindArcade  2 года назад +5

      It’s been a while since I made this video, but from a quick look at my references, according to the localization team, Capcom chose Phoenix due to it sounding heroic and them picking it over the localization team’s other names, like Roger. I’m not saying you’re wrong since they obviously went with the mythical bird when naming the final chapter, but this is the source I pulled from when researching for this video:

    Ace Attorney is my all-time favourite video game series.
    (Followed closely by the Danganronpa series.)
    I've been a die-hard fan since the first game was released outside of Japan.
    I'm still waiting and hoping for Ace Attorney 7 as well as GK2 being released in the west.
    I also wouldn't mind a continuation of the Anime or another spin-off or crossover game.
    More Ace Attorney content is always welcome.
    Furthermore it's a big dream to visit an Ace Attorney Café one day and to go to an Ace Attorney orcherstra concert.
    This 20th Anniversary Retrospective video was really awesome.
    Thank you for making it.

      I’m curious to see how they handle everything moving forward. Yamazaki left Capcom last year so if they do make AA7 I’ll be curious to see if Takumi returns to direct or if they’ll pull in someone else. I imagine we may hear something during TGS or closer to the official 20th anniversary in October. Fingers crossed for some good news!

    Dual Destinies is so underrated. It changed the series forever in a good way. The cases were interesting and had likable characters, (For the most part) introduced great new gameplay mechanics, and improved the graphics in really good ways. Not to mention the soundtrack for it is THE BEST in the game.
    Not getting to see Gumshoe or Maya may have been a tough pill to swallow, but the game is by far the best in the series. I know a lot of fans don’t like it, but I’ve never came to understand why. Turnabout for Tomorrow is also the best case in the game followed by Farewell my Turnabout. The buildup to it and the finale just perfectly summed up the game.

      DD was a lot of fun and had a really well-paced story. It was definitely a good way for the mainline series to return after a long hiatus. It’s not my favorite game in the series, but I certainly enjoyed it. Would love to see it get ported to modern consoles in an AA4-6 collection!

      That’s awesome, glad you’re enjoying them! The AA Investigation games are definitely a lot of fun and the second one is considered by much of the community to be one of the top tier titles in the series. Apollo Justice in my opinion is still really good, but a VERY slow burn. The Great Ace Attorney games are, in my opinion, as good as the original trilogy, but not really connected to the main series storyline (and also start very slow too). Look forward to hear what you think of the other games.

Both games really. Interconnected cases forming an overarching killer story each. So god damn good. And the fan translation is amazing. Well not that I speak japanese to check it, but not a single line of text felt awkward or off. Kudos to them.
      It's a shame that the game wasn't localized, but moreover, a quick Google search tells me most of these characters never appear again in the franchise? Judge Courtney should have at least.
      I'm halway thru case #2 in Apollo Justice now. I'm a little confused on the timeline, but I can't search, because of spoilers. How can Phoenix have a 15yo daughter? He's never mentioned her in the Trilogy and she would have been what, between 6 and 8? Weird. Trucy is adorable AF. As was Maya and Kay. These games are just so god damn good.

    I am not into visual novels nor into point-and-click adventure games, and I am not into Anime either, but I love the Ace Attorney series. It's the only reason I've touched a Nintendo DS at all, since I am not into handheld or mobile gaming either. This series is really something special. I am going through The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles now, and have also dusted off the old DS to play the Gyakuten Saiban 2 fan translation. I wish Layton vs. Wright, Dual Destinies, and Spirit of Justice would have gotten a Switch rerelease but I am actually strongly considering buying a 3DS/2DS off the second hand market now just for the Ace Attorney "fix" while 3DS prices are still relatively low!

This theory mainly runs on the logic of once is a fluke, twice is a coincidence, three or more times is a pattern, and the pattern demonstrated by the segments is that every single time (S)Herlock's deduction is off, the truth is within a few feet of (S)Herlock's incorrect deduction.

    First of all, very nice production of the video. You did it so well.
    Second. This video also answers my long time question about this series which was "Why I can't relate to Apollo (in Apollo Justice) and the later 2 Ace Attorney games (Dual & Spirit)?".
    I feel like the 2 directors have a very distinctive style of directing/scriptwriting in their minds. Shu's is using the tense/dark tone of crime and focusing on a soft sarcastic on JPN real life laws ("Guilty before proved innocent") which made the story very dense and interesting but a bit too difficult. The writing of The Great AA is, IMO, his finest work to date.
    While the other is a tone down, softer and brighter. This is not a bad thing and it makes the series more attractive to new player of the series.

      I 100% agree with you about preferring Takumi’s scenario writing over Yamazaki’s. It just feels better thought out and has that slightly darker style to it that I prefer.
      TGA was a nice breath of fresh air since it was a completely different setting with all new characters. If they continue the series, I’d personally much rather see Takumi continue to cover different descendants of Phoenix Wright in the same style of TGA.
      I’m not sure if you’ve played Ghost Trick, but that may very well be my favorite writing Shu Takumi has ever done. It gets a little ridiculous at times, but its story is so well crafted and thought out.

    Interestingly enough, almost a month ago, we finally managed to get an Apollo Justice Trilogy physical release on the Switch, meaning we finally now got Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice released in physical format compared to when it was released in the West as only on digital release... What a great time to be an AA fan! 😁

      ​@@RewindArcade The reason I gave this series a shot was mainly because of the music, I heard a few of the songs in a video once(Being objection 2001 and cornered) and that made me want to give this series a shot, and at the time I also learned that the first trilogy is being remastered so that was the perfect chance for me to try the series.

    Seriously, Ace Attorney is a great series and it's legacy shows it off. The lot of media and references found in a lot of other franchises shows how this franchise earned its reputation.

I'm not too sure how the sales numbers were on it though. I know Takumi did some writing work on the Monster Hunter Stories 2 questlines, but I have no idea what else he's been working on. Things have been very quiet with him recently which could be either a good sign or a bad sign. Time will tell I suppose. Thanks again for watching!

      So in Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright, they are very specific about the court's mob-like behavior and the judge is usually more than willing to throw a guilty verdict at your defendant without the prosecution needing any proof or using logic. Phoenix even reacts to it specifically during the first trial in the game saying it's nothing like the courtroom's he's previously been in.

    Considering that Phoenix's story was supposed to wrap up with the end of T&T, and with how inconsistent the next three games are written and feel at times, for the sake of still enjoying my AA content I'm choosing to just separate the trilogy, AJ and DD+SoJ into their own separate universes. _'What if'_ or _'it could be like that'_ sort of way. I get to enjoy cases and side characters without my critical brain getting in the way too much, and the games get away with questionable writing choices. Win-win! :P

      Yeah, DD and SoJ felt very different than the original trilogy and AJ. While I think Yamazaki is far from a bad writer and still did a good job with his two mainline entries, his style is certainly different than Takumi's which is a bit jarring at times.

    I have been really getting into Ace Attorney. This was a great video for me as a starting new fan! Also your voicework and editing is very solid. You deserve more subs man.
