Call me crazy, but I think Apollo Justice had my favorite soundtrack!

Case two, looking over the windows: "The clouds, they tell me nothing"
Caste two, looking at an expensive object: "You'd need two jobs to afford that"

edit: easter eggs are non spoilered on this thread, so...
Music I think was on par with AA3, as charlequinn puts it, it's actually worked on by Iwadare. Definitely beyond 4 and 2 IMO. 4's was pretty mellow and blah in the end. AAI has pretty epic themes with the mix of miles/fran's theme. Not to mention it's probably the best "Announce the Truth" to date.

Case 5: Loving
Amb. Alba's OBJECTION!
Finished this yesterday morning, and it's definitely one of my favourite AA games. My biggest fault with it is that it's too easy in places (pressing for info has always helped, but this game made where to present evidence a little too obvious). But as far as an Ace Attorney game goes, this one is full of really good fanservice. It's less of a continuation of the series, and more of a love letter to people who enjoyed the first three. Simply excellent. 
I especially loved the soundtrack. Kay's theme, the Final Examination track and the Pursuit ~ Cornered theme are awesome, but the soundtrack as a whole is as good as PW1's and PW3's, easily.

Final case of the game; I already have a pretty solid idea of where this game should be in a AA Top 5, but I will comment in a "deeper" way once I'm done with the game.
Let's just say Apollo Justice did some smart things, even if the fanbase didn't like them, and this game doesn't.
Still, this game is Ace. (duh) and this series doesn't have a "weak" game overall.
Best new series this gen, followed by No More Heroes.
For now, I'm avoiding the thread because of spoilers.

Just found out the culprit in case 5.
Alba's transformation may be my favorite in the series. A fragile old man to a badass army veteran. This might be one of the most memorable "final bosses" in the series for me.

Not chance for the game to have HIS favorite soundtrack... interesting..
I really love this game. Bought the Japanese one for my wife but I find it really hard to play in Japanese, poked around with it a bit.. But now I am killing the English version now.. Maybe my favorite one yet. The cases (so far I am finishing the

He may say that Apollo Justice has his favorite soundtrack. But does he have the evidence to back up his claim?
For example, Announce The Truth 2009, is superior to the Apollo Justice version.
TAKE THAT!
Of course, it's subjective. As if, using a sprite in my post, didn't make it clear enough that I was playing.

Just beat it. I honestly felt like the final case was a dragging a bit by the end but I still loved it. Another excellent addition to the series.
I hope we hear a bit more about AA5 soon. As much as I like Edgeworth, I'd like to get back to defending innocents rather than accusing criminals (yes, I know you do both in both games, but still).

But is discounted on the fact that Shi-Long doesn't have a "HOLD IT" soundbyte despite the fact he has the custom "NOT SO FAST" one. Really, they couldn't of recorded 2 sound bytes? I mean, if he only used it once or twice, ok, but he uses it every few minutes he is around.Jintor said:

Finished the game like, just right now.
It's definitely my second favourite of the series. They better implement the adventure style investigations into the main series, as it brings a breath of fresh air to the formula. Also, more Kay please.

So I was playing this game, which wasn't translated so I got to play with the english translation so it makes me long for that translation in the other three games.
Checked amazon.co.uk, woah boy these are expensive.

I really liked this for some reason. I think it's because you would always get some interesting conversations/impressions from characters when presenting a profile. I even miss being able to present "yourself" to someone from JFA.
I just find the notion of the protagonist handing a picture of himself to a witness and asking, "what do you think of this?" to be humorous. :lol
GuardianE said:
Same here - hearing what characters said about the shown profile helped fleshing out the characters talked about and the one responding to your question.
I'm in the middle of Case 3 right now and I'm pleasantly surprised how the lack of a courtroom doesn't feel like that much of a departure at all

I think Case 2 was my overall favourite case, to be honest. Although Case 5 definitely ramped up the epic, but I think it was let down in a few, very small ways.
Besides, Case 2 had the epic moment. Come on. You know which bit I'm talking about.

I'm talking about the bit where Edgeworth suddenly gets like 20 logic bombs all at once as fat art idiot falls

I'm too scared to read posts after I saw a sprite (I don't want to know anything, however small), so I'll just say that I finished Case 4 just now...
OMG! I am so hyped to go the next case! I'm going to hold off until tomorrow, but...

FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUCK! OMG OMG OMG! What an awesome case! I have suspicions that I hope are right in the final case...
Just started the fifth and final case, but so far this is clearly the least of all the Ace Attorney titles, unless the fifth case is amazingly better than the superb final case of Justice for All.
For me, the third-person investigations are really very good, and represent a clever evolution of the series' basic gameplay. This should become a series mainstay.
However, the characters, overarching story and structure aren't as compelling this go around. The lack of the courtroom robs the game of all drama and tension, and Edgeworth is still better as a side-character / anti-hero / foil than a lead character.
The game is also really easy for the most part.
For me, I say they should return to the Courtroom structure but keep the investigation segments. Also, bring back Klavier. I miss him.

But part of that crew IS working on Last Window, sort of a sequel to Hotel Dusk, so that may tide you over...
Say what? Last Window (along with Hotel Dusk and Another Code series) is developed by Cing, which is an indy studio. It has no relation to Capcom as a subsidiary AFAIK.
In any case, isn't the producer and planner of the AA series working on a new game? Something with ghosts, maybe?

Case 3 is really blowing me away. I'm not finished with it yet, but the twists just keep on coming. The first two cases were great, but they really stepped things up in the third one. I need to find out how it ends.

Ewww, no thanks. All the other games had gratifying moments where you totally floored the prosecuters and left them speechless.
I wanted to wipe that smug prettyboy look of his face soooooo many times, never got a chance to.
I'd like them to bring his older brother back.
That dude was hella nuts.

My problem with Case 5 was just that it didn't have any huge bombs like the final cases that always made the final case shine. Not all the plot twists have to do with murder to be so damn memorable.
Case 4, Ace Attorney 1:
Von Karma being the killer of Edgeworth's dad in the elevator
Engarde being a total douchebag
Iris being the girl that Phoenix Wright fell in love with
Trucy being Apollo's little sister

I thought it was semi-predictable.
Still a HOLY SHIT moment the way it was revealed
Also, I assume people have read this but:

There's a tiny, tiny hint that they're considering an AK sequel. Might be reading a bit much into it.

It actually crossed my mind who the final villain might be but I had nothing to back it up until it was close to being revealed. All I knew was that it
HAD to be one of the ambassadors. I kept switching back and forth between the two until Lang said Alba called Fransizka in for something. That made me suspect him more than Paleno but I wasn't completely convinced until the flowers were mentioned.
