Capcom hasn't been able to hire proper copy editors or translators since the first game, of course they're going to hire high quality voice actors for the massive PW game scripts for a system with a smaller install base where it hasn't proven itself like it has on the DS.
I mean, it's obvious they would.

Well I guess the art is OK but it wouldn't factor in whether I buy it, and the best 16-bit music I've heard is from Earthbound; can you compare it to that? Are the puzzles complex like in Professor Layton (I'd love to try that) or are they more like minigames?Danthrax said:

They're logic puzzles. This is grossly oversimplifying it, but you basically have to listen to the witness's testimony, press them for facts, and then find the evidence which suggests a contradiction to their statement.ChoklitReign said:
Also, the music is some of the best I've ever heard, period. It sets the mood perfectly. Honestly, I've gotten infinitely more pumped when playing Phoenix Wright than any other game I can think of, and the music is only one part of the equation why.
The music, while excellent by itself, acquires its true meaning only once you put it in context.RocketDarkness said:
Listening to the music WHILE you play the game is what makes it so awesome. Listening to a few tracks on Youtube without having ever played it wouldn't have the same effect. At all.
ChoklitReign said:
The game is about presentation, pacing, and endearing eccentric caricatures that are represented in a perfect way, visually and musically. The writing is witty and clever, and the twists are outrageous enough to keep you entertained. It's pretty much like a visual novel, but having you make the (very limited) choices in logic puzzles that will spell out the rest of the case.
It's hard to describe the exact appeal of Phoenix Wright, but none of that will matter once you see Phoenix Wright strike his trademark pose, hear his voice cry "Objection," the music amp up, and watch the witness crumble to pieces are they are caught in a lie.

Well yeah, I sort of hinted at that. After you understand the context, though, it'll always get you pumped. When I hear certain segments of a theme, I need to find the nearest hard surface to bang my fist/slam my hand down on.Jocchan said:

Or when you and the prosecutor get involved in a heated string of objections. It's beautiful.GuardianE said:

I feel like that every day. I think it's been a couple of months since my last playthrough, I don't know if I can hold out much longer...Jangaroo said:

OH WTF is this indeed? If it is a straight port would it be even superior to the DS version? Sure Higher Res is nice but what about text scrolling and investagations. Pointing and clicking the Wiimote constantly could get rather annoying. But I'm just shocked at the supposed announcement.
Hot damn my Ace Attorney artbook cant get here any faster.

Capcom - proudly leading the industry in spreading the love everywhere via ports.
The point (for me) of the Ace Attorney games is to discover the contradictions, clues, and story. As I've already played all the games released in the U.S. (just finished Apollo Justice literally a few hours ago), I have no interest in playing through them again on the Wii. Bring on Ace Attorney 5!

AFAIK, the proper English release in PW3 didn't have grammar errors.

Nope, he did Apollo Justice as well.Jangaroo said:
I dunno, there are always a few grammar/spelling mistakes in each game, but given the amount of text I don't think a couple mistakes are really something to be concerned about. It's just a shame that one of the mistakes in PW2 was in a very, very high profile spot.
bernardobri said:
There were errors. They didn't fix it from the Japanese release.Some random person on Gamefaqs said:
Anyway, the point of my original post wasn't to nitpick at the grammar. I'm kind of surprised that there were people who didn't like the translations of the sequels.

Oh, then I must have missed those. My bad.
Back on topic, the one thing I love about Phoenix Wright is the conversation flow when attorneys and prosecutors discuss in climatic parts. Especially between Phoenix Wright and Godot.
Also, I can't understand the hate on JFA. Case 4 is easily the best in the series :/

I can give credit to AJ's soundtrack. The objection theme is probably my favorite next to the first game. My main gripe with the game was the way they handled the characters and the plot. Wasn't a big fan of how they portrayed Phoenix in particular.No_Style said:Why? Never understood the critical and fan hate for AJ. I thought it was awesome. Superior to Justice for All and rivals the third one with regards to awesome soundtrack. T&T and the original were superior, but damn did I enjoy how AJ unfolded.

I thought it just felt unfinished. The final case felt very unsatisfying, both how Apollo basically took a back seat and how the guilty party's motives never quite rang true with me.

I think it's clear we don't know the whole story just yet.EmCeeGramr said:

That's what was disappointing. It felt like it was just a set up for a new trilogy.RocketDarkness said:

I guess I can understand that, but I think the main focus of the overall storyline was to give us insight into Apollo and Trucy's backstory, primarily. Whatever's going on between Phoenix and Kristoph is just a taste.EmCeeGramr said:
I completely forgot about that. The last time we heard any news of the fifth game was way back in 2007.RocketDarkness said:
Same here. I really hated how Apollo took a back seat as the rest of the game focused entirely on Phoenix. And yeah, it's pretty obvious that the game was intended to be another trilogy. I wonder if they'll work on the fifth one now that Ace Attorney Investigations is done.EmCeeGramr said:

I think he had OCD. In that case, being dropped off a case that he'd done so much illegal prep for would probably drive him crazy. How'd Zak try Phoenix second with the poker cards, though? I guess they were in the same practice? And if Zak had only lost once before, what were the chances that he'd lose again to some random laywer? And where's what's-her-name with the purple outfit from the first games? I guess she's off studying and Phoenix is sending her updates on the Steel Samurai episodes?

It just seemed so crazy that there's this madman with a devil scar on his hand and he's capable of pulling all these conspiracies and he can beat the magatama by having secrets so deep that nobody can get to them... but his big secret is that he killed some guys to keep from losing a court case? He was never presented as a Von Karma-style perfectionist, so that motive just made no sense.

the Klavier family has some kind of old rivalry with the Gramaryes, and that Kristoph was involved in Thalassa somehow ending up in a foreign country. Kristoph used a powerful poison back then after all, and the cocoon from Borginia is described as being able to create a poison just like that.
