I'm glad that this thread was created. Thank you.

If an ace attorney roleplay was created, (details being worked out,) who here would join?

What is the most surprising thing you've encountered while playing the games?

i know this sounds cliche, but:

Spoiler:

Mia's death in turnabout sisters. It was tragic, and the shock of seeing the sidekick that i hoped to get close to kick the bucket so early into the game hit me like a truck

I'm afraid I don't really have the creative writing chops, nor any rp experience... So I wouldn't be able to effectively participate, probably.

Since no one seems to be expressing interest to your idea here in the club so far, perhaps you might try pitching the idea over in the Roleplay chit-chat thread over in the Roleplay Corner to see if it garners any interest? Surely somebody's bound to be interested, right? I always thought visual novels like Ace Attorney were popular with peeps who like to rp.

Of course, be sure to review the Rules and Resources thread if you haven't already before diving into roleplay shenanigans! I wish ya the best of luck~

Aahaha, in a brief nutshell What happened with this guy:

Spoiler:

He died and the spy became dressed as him. D:

I haven't visited much of this site's RP section nor not sure how many non-Pokemon roleplaying games there are, but as Lisia said wouldn't hurt to try! Otherwise, if you google some Ace Attorney fan sites/forums there might be an RP section. If you're okay with roleplaying outside of forums, many people roleplay at Tumblr these days!

As for me, I don't roleplay much as I'm not too good writing on the spot (I tend to like to write on my own pace otherwise I would burn out). I wish you luck, though!

I recently got to DD's ending a couple days ago and indeed I agree!

Spoiler:

Especially when after that revelation the spy had a serious expression at times and tried to hack the Mood Matrix D:

I still don't understand what happened at the end of Dual Destinies haha. I mean iirc, it was a pretty climactic ending, it just didn't make any sense.

Spoiler:

I think the ending makes sense. The spy's action is one of the events that started the "dark age of law" and it wasn't until seven years later that the spy is cornered. I do think perhaps a bit more resolution, like more info on the spy (Blackquill did say there are a lot of questions they want from him), the ending would be more well-rounded. Another thing is when I read the wiki some of the Investigations staff did Dual Destinies and since Investigations also dealt with international crime too, DD and the spinoffs seemed to have similar themes.

If you're talking about the "friendship and hope" comment Athena, Phoenix, and Apollo did near the end, I admit that is slightly strange, although that's pretty much the theme of the third case so I didn't mind too much. My two cents on that!

 

[Flushed]

Spoiler:

Yeah I was referring to the whole Phantom thing. I mean, it makes sense plot wise, but as you put it, a better resolution would've been better. The fact though that the big boss criminal of the game isn't someone we can identify just threw me for a bit of a loop.

 

[NeoTheCelestrian]

Um. Mia died. Then came back to life twice?

Welcome to the club!
I'm happy to know people appreciate the creation of this fan club. It's great to have a place where fans of the series can chit-chat about anything and everything Ace Attorney. {:3}

Apologies for the double post, but I figured it was time for a new topic.

Is there anything you'd change about the game or story?

I would give Apollo more development and screen time in the Apollo Justice Ace Attorney game; he seemed to be always overshadowed by Phoenix, or heck, even Kristoph Gavin & Trucy. D:

Ah you're right... Polly got some development in Dual Destinies... but I forget details about him in his own game save for...

Spoiler:

how he and Trucy are blood-related.

I really need to replay his game. It's been a while.

Since Phoenix became a lawyer again in Dual Destinies... it made me think about the future of other characters. It made me a little sad that Ema couldn't become a forensic scientist like she wanted. She wasn't satisfied with her job as a detective in Apollo Justice... I hope that in the years after she was eventually able to get the job she wanted and studied for. ;w;

Having just finished Dual Destinies recently, I love the game but there are a few things I would like to see more.

Spoiler:

1) As I already mentioned to Flushed, a bit more info on the Phantom would make the ending better. For instance, was there a specific motivation when he killed Fulbright?

2)Trucy and Jinxie's friendship to be developed more. I love how the game showed Athena and Juniper's friendship and was disappointed I couldn't say the same for Trucy and Jinxie.

3) There should be more opportunities for 3D "scientific" investigations on specific items like in Rise from the Ashes. Then again, you get to check various angles during your investigations so that makes up for it.

And one for the original trilogy.

Spoiler:

Franziska mentioned showing De Killer's card to Phoenix (the one Maya drew Phoenix's face on out of boredom) when she next meets him. When they meet next in Trials and Tribulations, though, that didn't happened. I would like to see how that scene played out.

Does adding more cases count as changing? :P
I suppose if I where to change something about the games, I'd change up JFA a little bit. For some odd reason I didn't enjoy the game as much as I liked the other games, although I'm unfortunately not able to exactly point out, what it is that threw me of.
I'd probably change the final confrontation of Investigations 2 as well, because I didn't really like that part as much as I liked most of the other ones. Although that could be partly because of the fan translation...

 

[Nagi]

so i think i've missed a topic, no? it's just cause i didn't really have anything to add to the other replies ( ´ ▽ ` )ゞ it's hard to pinpoint a moment that really surprised me as it's been so long since i've played most of the games. so now that all the cases make sense in my head i don't remember what specifically did and didn't surprise me, haha.

Is there anything you'd change about the game or story?
hm. i liked the games very much as they were, but i suppose at certain points some more development would've been nice. firstly i agree with all additions Bay Alexison mentioned in his last comment, except maybe the 3D investigations. i just don't think they would add a lot, to be honest.
EDIT: i thought with 3D investigation you just meant the looking at evidence from all angles like you had to do in Rise from the Ashes all the time. i do like the other 'scientific minigames', like with the luminol and fingerprint analysis.

i wanted to say, we should add some of Apollo's backstory too, since all we know about him really is about his mother and halfsister - but maybe there were more details that i've simply forgotten about.
AJAA and PWAA:DD are the only games i haven't played more than once, so that probably plays a part as well, hehe.

Yeah I was talking more about when you can investigate items like in Rise from the Ashes and I called them scientific investigations because that's what Ema called them haha. Sorry if my wording isn't clear as I'm trying to differentiate between the required investigations before a trial and investigating an item really up close.

You're right it probably won't add much in Dual Destinies but with the 3DS I thought the graphics for the scientific investigations would look neat (I thought the items you investigate in the Trilogy version is a bit blocky, but then again the original games are several years old). You also reminded me the luminol and fingerprint analysis could be cool in 3DS!

I'm good with the stories, but was a little upset in Dual Destinies that we weren't allowed to freely examine every crime scene like we used to. They really streamlined the investigations, where only select scenes were examinable, and that wasn't as fun for me. I know the main point is to pick up clues, but I liked examining random things like ladders and 'Charley', and reading the silly, pointless dialogue that followed sometimes. :P
