He was an absolute goat! The only witness who never tried to stall us, distract us with their shenanigans or turned out to be covering up their own crimes. Not to mention he is such a wholesome dude! Colias Palaeno for Cohdopian Embassy 2026!

Not counting any of the characters who've already been channelled on-screen.

My vote goes to Ryunosuke, because it'd be fun to see Phoenix team up with his however-many-greats-grandpa.

βš–οΈ Apollo Justice Trilogy How would you improve Clay as a character?

Thumbnail

102 Upvotes

So, a common criticism of Dual Destinies is how underdeveloped Clay is as a character. We don't get any indication of his existence, except for a brief mention that Apollo gives in Turnabout Academy, and when he becomes the victim of Cosmic Turnabout, the game wants us to feel bad for Apollo because Clay was his best friend.

The problem with that is we never met Clay at all. We have no indication of his personality, we never met him in person, and he's basically just a plot device.

So, if you could, how would you improve Clay?

For me, i would have Clay as an partner for Apollo in Monsterous Turnabout, and then later for Athena and Apollo in Turnabout Academy. That way, the player gets to meet Clay, we get to see his personality, we get to see his friendship with Apollo, and when he does die, its actually very impactful.

Additionally, It would also cause some more emotional tension to Apollo and Athena, as Athena would have bonded and also formed a friendship with Clay, which would have made Turnabout for Tomorrow even more sad, with Apollo accusing Athena.

β€ŽI made Miles Edgeworth and Phoenix Wright in Paralives on my first playthrough. (No CC)

β€Ž

β€ŽIt's my first time playing Paralives, and of course, I immediately decided to create Miles Edgeworth and Phoenix Wright hehehehe.

β€Ž

β€ŽI don't have any CC yet, so unfortunately, Miles is missing his iconic cravat. Please imagine it's there in our hearts lol. I did, however, make sure to give him his iconic pink pajamas(yay). Ngl A man's fashion priorities must be respected.

β€Ž

β€ŽI'm also still getting used to the character creator(paramaker), especially Detail Edit. I feel like I need more practice with it, but I'm excited to see how much I can improve their appearances.

β€Ž

β€ŽI'd love to hear your thoughts on this. Do you have any tips for using paramaker, or any fun Ace Attorney AU ideas for these two in Paralives?

β€Ž

β€ŽI wonder what kind of lives these two would lead outside the courtroom :)

βš–οΈ Apollo Justice Trilogy Thinking about Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney and what didn't work for me about the individual cases: Denying the player a satisfying "Gotcha" moment at the end (Full game spoilers) Spoiler

20 Upvotes

With discourse turning to the Apollo Trilogy yet again and a vocal group praising AA4 while condemning the 3DS games, I, as a vocal fan of DD and SoJ and someone who's... somewhat ambivalent towards AJ:AA, I wanted to stop and consider something regarding the cases of the game and the themes tying them together, and why in general I don't think I found them to be a satisfying package. In the past I've talked a lot about the cast as a whole and how I feel like the new characters are underutilized and how I just don't care for how Phoenix was used or his big dumb grudge match with Kristoph, so right now I'm mostly focused on the individual cases and specifically how they tend to be resolved.

Turnabout Trump: Like many players I actually find 4-1 to be a highlight for the game, and it has a resolution that sticks with you. It seems like the typical conclusion to an Ace Attorney case, the player presents evidence that seemingly decisively takes down the culprit, they have a breakdown and go to jail. It's only after the trial that Phoenix reveals that he knew the evidence was a forgery but let you present it because he knew Kristoph couldn't challenge it without implicating himself. I actually like this moment, and at the time it made me interested in the dynamic between Phoenix and Apollo. Apollo thinks he's getting a big Phoenix moment where he presents a major piece of evidence from an unlikely source to close out the trial, but instead all he's done is play along with Phoenix's plan to effectively frame an admittedly guilty man, and he gets so heated he actually punches the guy. Great stuff, wish literally any case after that had that energy from Apollo.

Turnabout Corner: The case proper kind of feels the least connected with the others in terms of the recurring theme of how one man can't always be expected to singlehandedly steer the case towards the correct solution with nothing but his own detective work with a mystery that feels more in line with others from earlier in the series, which might be because the concept was conceived prior to this game. The final evidence presented is more of what you'd expect of a minor detail coming back to close up the last hole in your case (the panties in the tailpipe) with the only real wrinkle being that Klavier kind of nudges you towards this. Personally I'm kind of mixed on this moment, I feel like it both takes the wind out of Apollo's sails in getting to actually solve a case without Phoenix guiding his hand while also making "nice guy" Klavier look like a bit of a dick if he seems to already know the answer before you, but that's neither here nor there really. Overall kind of a middle-of-the-road case, good mystery with mostly weak one-off characters (Guy Eldoon is cool) and an awkward place to introduce the supporting cast.

Turnabout Serenade: I have some mixed thoughts on 4-3. I actually like that it has a lot of moving parts, I like that Kristoph actually seems to be playing to win at once so you have to catch him on the backfoot once or twice, and Daryan is a serviceable enough bad guy that you want to take him down. But I agree with a lot of what's been said about the implausibility of the prosecution's case against the seemingly blind foreign child and the case kind of loses steam about halfway through once Lamiroir fingers the culprit. As a result the second half feels like there's just not enough mystery left to solve and I don't think the buildup is strong enough for the payoff of needing to get Macchi to confess on Daryan's behalf. Maybe if they had played into the idea of Daryan using his connections to mess with the investigation or we had more supporting witnesses to obfuscate things more than just dancing around the one obvious culprit it could have landed better. It's a weird mix of both too complex but also too quickly resolved to feel like you need to think outside the box. The end result is a final confrontation that's basically a less interesting version of how Phoenix took down the bad guy in 2-4.

Turnabout Succession: Hoo boy. I can't help but feel this might be the most divisive final case in the series. I've seen some people put this in their top cases of all time lists, and others put it right at the bottom. As for me... I feel like this is probably the most disappointing case if not actually the worst overall. It starts out pretty strong, I would say most of it up through the flashback trial is mostly without many major flaws beyond my continued issues with Apollo's lack of agency. But once we get to the MASON system segment... yeah, that whole bit feels like it's standing where a second investigation segment and first half of a final trial with Apollo should be. Focusing on the trials and how they relate to the others in this game though, I feel like once again the conclusion of Phoenix's last presents a great setup in how Phoenix is set up to think that he's got the unexpected winning evidence he needs only for it to be a trap to screw him and his client over. This is a cool concept, it parallels how Phoenix gets back at the guy who set him up seven years later by ironically using the same girl who was used against him in the past (now his own daughter) as well as another clueless attorney to get back at Kristoph. It'll sure be neat when we see Apollo learn about this, potentially making him question everyone in his life for their involvement in these incidents, right? I could go on about what a missed opportunity this is but I'd be getting off topic, so I'll just say the final trial segment sucks and you just present a couple pieces of evidence that just shows the guy you know is guilty might be guilty. There's no big gotcha, just "Haha, it's actually the jury that's gotcha, this was what the game was about apparently. Fuck you Apollo and fuck you player, you're not worth shit". I don't care how "epic" Kristoph's breakdown is, Phoenix vs some asshole who's already in prison is not a Pay Per View event I want to pay for.

In conclusion I think besides not being sold on the cast as a whole I feel like a lot of my negative feelings about the game come from a game where the story is built around unsatisfying finales shockingly not having a satisfying payoff. It's an interesting concept but they still needed some way to make it feel like Apollo and by extension the player got to flip the script and make a choice that changed how things play out, because I don't think switching POVs to a different character for one scene to press a button cuts it, especially when that happens after what was already supposed to be the emotional climax of the case. You can tell me I'm not big brained enough to see what this game is going for, but I'll generally take a mid case with a satisfying conclusion over a case with a lot of potential that runs out of steam before the finish line, even if I'd prefer one that's strong from start to finish.

Sorry if this is kind of rant-y, I just felt like I needed to get off my chest why this game doesn't do it for me and generally I find more to criticize looking back on it. If you feel it aged well that's fine too, but I definitely can't say I'll ever like it as much as the games that follow it.

βš–οΈ Full Main Series Are there any Ace Attorney characters missing body parts?

45 Upvotes

So this is a really random question but I want to explain

I was born missing a couple of fingers and toes. I've always been biased toward fictional characters that are missing body parts because of that. I've been thinking about franchises I like that have those types of creatures or characters

Are there any Ace Attorney characters that are like that? Whether born missing body parts or amputees? I've played up to 6-5 and the Layton crossover but can't think of any off the top of my head. Are there any in the GAA or AAI series?

Thanks

First of all, thank you so much for the amazing reception my Ace Attorney fangame has received!

Some people asked me if it was normal for the witness to have no sprite. The truth is, I currently don't have an artist to help create the characters or new backgrounds the game needs.

That's why I'm looking for people who might be interested in contributing to the project!

I'm not just looking for artists. I could also use some help from:

- Sprite and background artists

- Writers (I've already written the story, but it still needs some polishing and refinement)

- Spanish-to-English translators

- Dialogue editors and proofreaders

If you'd like to be part of the project, have some experience, and know a lot about Ace Attorney, feel free to send me a DM!

I'd really appreciate any help!

(I'm not looking for voice actors at the moment, sorry!)
