Phoenix Wright related

[Mass Distraction]

I really like the idea of a new setting. It's nice to see all these other courts after so many games set in Japamerica. Too bad we've only gotten the AA vs. Layton game here. Seeing the old English court from Dai Gyakuten would have been cool...

[RepentantSky]

I swear if they don't confirm this for release by year's end I'm using my 2016 tax return and buying a Japanese 3DS with all the Phoenix Wright games that got that shaft. I want AA6 that bad.

Prologue Anime Cutscene.

No subs, but someone was kind enough to translate if you want to watch it now.

Spoiler

In the far west of Asia, there is a country of mysticism and faith -
The Kingdom of Kurain.

The teachings of the Kurain faith lead the people, and the divine protection of their founder protects them.

However... this country has changed.

Guard: Prosecutor! We've captured a revolutionary trying to flee.
Nayuta: Quieter. It will not do to disturb the temple.
Guard: I'm terribly sorry...

Nayuta: Pitiful revolutionary... cast away your ego and submit to the judgment of the court. If you do, you may yet be taken under our founder's wing, and your soul spared.
Rebel: Hah! The judgment of the court? What the hell kind of worthless court only passes down guilty verdicts!?
Nayuta: ...You wear the eye of the dragon. Then you are a remnant of the attorneys?
Guard: Yes! He was wearing a second as well.
Nayuta: Honored founder. As your humble servant, I shall aid the soul of this sinner. This too is karma.

Phoenix: OBJECTION!
Phoenix: At the time of the crime, these pork buns were frozen. It's entirely possible they were used as a weapon to bludgen the victim!
Blackquill: SILENCE!
Blackquill: There's no proof the buns were frozen, Wright-dono. Isn't that right?
Athena: Fine! Then we'll dig up some evidence and prove it to you!
Judge: It seems this trial must continue tomorrow.
Blackquill: Heh. Do as you wish.
Athena: Just you wait, Prosecutor Blackquill! We're gonna finish this!
Blackquill: Hmph. You took the words out of my mouth.

Apollo: Good work in there! Just a little bit more...
Phoenix: Well, that's Prosecutor Blackquill for you. He won't go down without a fight.
Athena: Then let's get to it and knock him out once and for all! Let's do this!
Monita: I'm hungry...
Athena: Hey! Monita!
Phoenix: Haha! How about we head back to the office and take a bit of a break first?
Athena: Yeah...

Athena: Oh! The cherry blossoms are all blooming!
Athena: Come to think of it... Ms. Maya's training should be finished soon, right?
Phoenix: Yeah, it should.

Bokuto: That's time!
Bokuto: Well done!
Maya: Well, it's still freezing in there! ButI just gotta keep at it.
Bokuto: That's right! Another five minutes and you'll have passed the "Kurain Spirit Channeling Special Training Course!"
Maya: Alright. Then next time I'll do even better! After all, how can I be a village chief if I haven't finished my training?
Bokuto: Village chief... you're kind of like a princess!
Maya: Just like yours, right? What's she like?
Bokuto: She's absolutely wonderful!

Woman: No - no, that's wrong!
Judge: The princess' oracle has passed judgment.
Woman: I didn't do it!
Leifa: Do you question my readings? The nerve!
Judge: There is no room for argument. I will now declare the verdict: GUILTY!

Woman: Please! Give me an attorney!
Leifa: There is no need for attorneys in this country. The orcale of spirits tells all.
Woman: That's...
Judge: You know very well that the attorneys of this country were found guilty of the crime of defense and wiped out.

Apollo: I'm Apollo Justice, and I'm fine!
Athena: I'm Athena Cykes, and I'm fine too!
Apollo: Alright, one more time!
Athena: Alright!
Maya: Long time no talk, Nick! I got through another level of training today!
Phoenix: Is that so. You must be getting pretty close to finishing your training.
Maya: Yep! And when I do, you should come to vis-...?
Man: ...You!
Bokuto: Maya!

Nayuta: O unenlightened, hapless man.
Man: Who the hell are you?
Nayuta: Lay down your arms. Our founder may yet overlook your sins.
Man: As if!

Maya: Thank you...
Nayuta: Traveler... please be more cautious in the future. May our founder's blessings be upon you.
Bokuto: Are you okay?
Maya: Who was that...? ...Oh, shoot! Nick'll be on his way!

Phoenix: Maya? Maya!
Phoenix: Apollo, I'm going out.
Apollo: Where?
Phoenix: To the far ends of Asia!

Figure: It seems a dragon has arrived in this country. And with him, a new wind begins to flow.

What I like about this is that it reminds me of the first game. It'll just be Phoenix and Maya defending innocent people with no help from anyone. Plus, since they seem to not be a fan of attorneys, Phoenix will probably be the ONLY one there going around defending people.

I really hope it gets translated. It seems like it's going to be good.

Also, I love that montage of Phoenix going to the Airport. It's just so perfect for him. He's super serious at first, then he screws up, then his odd luck kicks in and he nearly forgets his suitcase it also burst open (take note of the playing cards he has) and then falls asleep on the plane. I love it.

[SERIOUSLY THOUGH*]

Did they ever end up localising the second Miles Edgeworth game ?

Loved the first one.

[SamuraiGaiden]

Y'know, I didn't really get into the first Edgeworth game as much as I had hoped. It just seemed repetitive to me, story-wise. First case is, "Edgeworth committed a murder in his office, prove he didn't do it and then prove who did do it!"
Second case was, "Edgeworth committed a murder on a plane, prove he didn't do it and then prove who did do it."

I don't think I finished the third case before letting my DS sit for a while and die and just never cared enough to charge it back up. I was really disappointed by it.

No, but the fan translation was good enough.

[Mass Distraction]

Hnnnnngh! It's here, it's finally here! We only have to wait till September.

YESSSSSSSSS

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

THANK YOU CAPCOM, YOU'VE DONE SOMETHING RIGHT FOR ONCE.

NOW GIVE ME DGS OR I WILL BE KILLING SOMEONE. I WILL BE ANGRY.

In other news, here is the final Japanese trailer



Apollo vs Wright. Now that should be a good trial. I remember I even said that Phoenix's and Apollo's investigations should lead up to a final case where they face off. Hopefully it should be good.

It's a shame they're using the DD voices, I wasn't a fan, but who cares. At least it's coming out.

[RepentantSky]

Holy crap I cannot wait. It looks like it's gonna be so good. I'm actually okay with the voices but that's because I like the actors from other roles as well, though I have to admit it's still a little odd hearing Syallibus/Jude Mathis' voice coming from Phoenix. I never did get entirely used to that.

[retrolinkx]

So news on the upcoming DLC. Spoilers ahead for a returning character coming back.



I hope both DLC's come to the west. This is one of them, and IIRC the other is about Apollo and Klavier I believe, either way any Ace Attorney news would be great and I'd love for it to come out whenever it can.

As for the returning character, I've always liked them so I'm happy they've come back, hopefully they will save the trial in one case like they have done beforehand in other games.

[Hexadecimal*]

You guys probably heard about how a year ago First 4 Figures announced a Phoenix Wright statue. Today there was an update.



...Just this. A 3D computer render of what they aim to make his face look like. Still gonna be awhile. 

I'll admit what makes me so antsy is because, once Phoenix is done, if he sells well it only makes sense that they'd make one of Edgeworth too.

[Hexadecimal*]

LOOK WHAT I'M FINALLY DOING.

Good for you, it's not the best game in the series, but it's miles better than Apollo Justice.

Get ready for awful voice acting, a case themed around japan that isn't very good (but none of the japanese themed cases are really) and Bobby Fulbright. The best damn detective in town.



My rankings for the games are something like...

AA > AAI2 > T&T > PLvsPW > DD > AAI = JFA > AJ

...but even I'm not sure of it.

[Hexadecimal*]

I finally accepted there will never be a physical copy released in America. LOL.

Ugh... It doesn't take much to be better than Apollo Justice. For games I've played, I honest to god would put it on my top ten worst of all time. ...There's voice acting now? Oh wow, I had no idea. That will be a very interesting change.

Looking forward to meeting the new characters! They actually seem pretty neat.

Needed something for the long car trip tomorrow. Got this, Persona Q if I need a break from it, and found some bad 90s songs for my MP3 player xD

Nice.

But yeah, the VA's are pretty bad.

Phoenix sounds like he's 15 and I can't even remember Apollo.

Athena is fine tho
