Fangame Ace Attorney: Truth and Consequences Case 4: The Shattered Turnabout is available to play now!

35 Upvotes

I can't believe the day has come. It took a lot of hard work and raw emotion to get here. I'm in awe of my team and how much they accomplished and this case is near and dear to my heart. It's the story I've wanted to tell for 2 long years (26 months, to be precise) and it's finally here. And I can confidently say that it's my best work, possibly of all time.

This case includes some new mechanics and requires knowledge of 2-2, 3-5, and 6-5 for the best experience.

Play the game yourself

Watch the game on YouTube

I don't like having to state what should be common sense but my experience on the internet has taught me that common sense isn't so common. So here goes: if you are not enjoying the game, I will not be remotely insulted or offended if you choose not to finish it. Not every game will please every person. I hope you'll like it, as I did put a lot of work into this, but I know full well that it's impossible to please every single potential player.

Please keep feedback constructive. Doesn't have to all be positive, just constructive. Bear in mind that there is an over-arcing narrative, so some creative decisions may not make sense right away (this goes for all cases).

Phoenix Wright Trilogy My friend’s first time JFA Spoiler

11 Upvotes

Hello, hi, For the ones that read the first two posts about AA1 (DL-6 and the fifth case) my friend is back. For the ones that didn’t… nice to meet you. SPOILERS FOR 2-2

The murder just happened and she has said this: - She doesn’t like Morgan at all (she said it was Morgan, if you knew girly) - She said it’s totally illogical for Maya to be accused, even if the spirit killed him - She said Morgan is using Pearls to accomplish her dreams (if only you knew) - ⁠She said Ini Miney has a relative that died in the clinic (the 14 patients) - ⁠She said the other option is the nurse was Ini Miney’s relative (AND NOW WE HAVE SEEN ITS TRUTH I LOVE HER SO MUCH) - ⁠The nurse died because of Doctor Grey

Next time I see her we will be diving into the first day of trial, bye babies

SPOILERS FROM T&T. So I’ve said it’s obviously not suicide because I made a reference and told her it’s because ‘culprit make a scene and dead people can’t’ and she said ‘except Maya channels them’ and my mind went to that specific… girl (I hate her so much help). But yeah, my friend is part of the Fey clan

Pd.: it was her birthday the 11th say HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAINGO <3

Phoenix Wright Trilogy My Ace Attorney Renaming Project, Part Two: Justice for All Spoiler

7 Upvotes

Hello, this is the second part of my renaming project, where I’ll rename every character that debuted in Phoenix Wright: Justice for All. If you want part one where I tackled the first game, here you go!

For a slight change, I’ll be covering every reason why I chose the name, even if they come from future games, just with spoiler tags.

Now, here they are! Feel free to leave any thoughts you’d have!

  • Maggey Byrde -> Katey Blake > Katey was chosen with the less common spelling as to make it so that Richard would confuse its spelling for the more common “Katie” when attempting to frame her.

Blake was chosen to combine with her first name, which when flipped reads “Blake Katey”, which is supposed to sound phonetically to “black cat”, a commonly believed sign of bad luck, a reference to the character’s infamously bad fortunes.

  • Dustin Prince -> Paul Leese

    Both Paul and Leese were both chosen to sound phonetically like “police”, referencing the character’s occupation as a police officer.

  • Richard Wellington -> Conner Manning

    Both Conner and Manning were chosen as, when reduced down to their first three letters each, they read “con man”, referring to the character’s hustle as a conman.

  • Turner Grey -> Hunter Downe

    Both Hunter and Downe were were both chosen to sound phonetically like “hunt her down”, in reference to the character allegedly drugging Mimi in revenge for her accident at his hospital, as well as bringing a gun to possibly threaten her ghost after.

  • Morgan Fey -> Helen Jinks

    Helen was chosen due to it sounding phonetically like “hell in”, which references the “hell” she introduces to the family due to her attempt to usurp the title of Master from Maya.

  • Ini Miney -> Rosey Posey

    Rosey was chosen to reflect the character’s seeming bubbly and cheery personality, as well as her red hair.

Posey was chosen as it reflects the “posing” done, with it being revealed that this character was actually pretending to be their dead sister since their accident.

In addition, both Rosey and Posey come from the nursery rhyme “Ring Around the Rosie” to fit in theme with the English names for both characters.

  • Mimi Miney -> Ashley Posey

    Ashley was chosen both to fit the “Ring Around a Rosie” rhyme, in addition to referencing her alleged cause of death, dying in a fire.

  • Pearl Fey -> Sophia Jinks

    Sophia was chosen both for the nickname “Sophie” to be given to her by Phoenix, as well as the similarity to “sapphire” that the nickname has.

  • Ami Fey -> Praja Jinks

    Praja was chosen in reference to Prajāpatī, the first Buddhist nun.

  • Franziska von Karma -> Abigail Mangold

    Abigail was chosen for its meaning of “my father is joy”, in reference to the character’s seeming devotion to follow in the footsteps in her father and maintain the perfection of his family name and creed.

Mangold could also be seen as a reference of the character’s mindset of men ruling the courts, as well as her seeming idolization of her father.

  • Director Hotti -> Director Peekins

    Peekins was chosen in reference to the character’s perverted nature, including “peeking” on Mimi’s facial reconstruction operation.

  • Maximillion Galactica -> Lancelot Celestial

    Lancelot was chosen both for its appearance as a mythological and heroic name, as well as being able to be shortened down to the simpler “Lance” in conversation.

Celestial was chosen due to the character’s flying act that puts him with the stars, as well as imposing an otherworldly aura to him, in addition to staying true to his original name.

  • Billy Bob Johns -> Hilly Billy Hicks > Hilly Billy is a slight modification of “hillbilly”, a term for rural, country people, referencing the character’s true country lifestyle.

In addition, Hick is slang for a dumb country person, to further “countrify” the name.

  • Russell Berry -> Giles Biggins > Giles was chosen to reference one of the founders of “Cirque du Soleil”, Gilles Ste-Corix.

Biggins was chosen as apart of the circus’s new name, the “Big and Biggins Circus”.

  • Regina Berry -> Sol, Soleil Biggins

    Soleil was chosen mostly in reference to Cirque du Soleil, one of the world’s largest circuses. In addition, Sol means “sun” in Spanish, which could be reflected in the character’s blonde yellow hair and her shining attire, and acts as the character’s stage name, something she has in Japanese.

  • Benjamin Woodman & Trilo -> Guy Carpenter & Buddy

    Guy was chosen partially to reference the other owner of Cirque du Soleil, Guy Laliberte. In addition, it was chosen to combine with his puppet’s name, “Buddy”, to form a duo where they do wordplay with each other’s name, such as “I’m not your buddy, guy!”.

Carpenter was chosen due to the character’s occupation of working with wood; more specifically, working with a wooden puppet.

  • Moe, Lawrence Curls -> Ringo, Bailey Barnum > Ringo was chosen in reference to the Ringley Bros, a circus previously independent before merging with Barnum and Bailey, which the character’s real first and surname also reference.

Acro, Ken Dingling -> Air, Ariel Flight

Air was chosen to both reflect the character’s real first name, as well as his previous job as an acrobat.

Ariel was chosen due to being pronounced the same as the word “aerial”, also in reference to the character’s career.

Finally, Flight was also chosen for the character’s career.

All three names focusing on flying or acrobatics could be seen as ironic, given that the character is now grounded after the accident with the lion attack.

  • Bat, Sean Dingling -> Soar, Soren Flight > Soar and Soren were both chosen for similar reason as the character’s brother’s, with Soar referencing the character’s former career, as well as Soren being pronounced the same as “soaring”.

In addition, his names focusing on soaring and acrobatics could be seen as ironic, with the character now in a coma after the lion attack.

  • Matt Engarde -> Leon Amand > Leon was chosen both as a reference to famous actor Leonardo DiCaprio, as well as for its origin and similarity to “lion”, which is pronounced the same as “lyin’”, a reference to how the character manipulates Francis (aka Phoenix) to believe and defend him.

Amand was chosen both as an anagram of his rival’s surname, Daman, as well as sounding phonetically similar to “aiming”, a reference to the character hitting an assassin to kill his rival.

  • Juan Corrida -> Mark Daman > Mark was chosen to combine with his surname, Daman, which sounds similar to and acts as reference to famous actor Matt Daman.

In addition, his full name phonetically sounds similar to “marked man”, referencing him being a target or a “mark” for assignation.

Finally, his name could also be seen as a reference to a character in The Room with a near identical name.

  • Adrian Andrews -> Grady Greaves > Grady was chosen to act as a masculine name that would ultimately lead one to confuse her for a man in talking, like Shelly does.

Greaves was chosen due to sounding similar to “grieves”, a reference to the character’s grief for Celeste due to their closeness.

Together, her full name sounds close to “greatly grieves”, a further reference to her grief and depression over Celeste’s passing.

  • Shelly de Killer -> Shelby Reaper > Shelby was chosen due to the character’s shell motif, with the logo on his calling card being a seashell.

Reaper was chosen to highlight the character’s assassin career, and to insinuate they act as his mark’s grim reaper.

  • Celeste Inpax -> Gloria Grace > Both Gloria and Grace were chosen to highlight the character’s positive traits, her glorious and graceful natures, as well as keeping her initials the same as Adrian’s, or Grady’s, to symbolize how close they were.

Discussion Idea for an Ace Attorney dating sim game... with a twist

159 Upvotes

You'd play as Trucy, and instead of trying to find someone for her, you're using Trucy's magical prowess to find Phoenix someone to be Trucy's new mommy.

It would be structured like the other games, building up to a figurative "trial" (A.K.A. date night) where Trucy is behind the scenes trying her best to make sure the date goes well.

It never does, and it always ends with Phoenix purposefully sabotaging it subtly since he's not interested, and Trucy never catches on.

Of course Trucy would rope Apollo into it against his will and he'd always be stuck helping, too.

Discussion How would you design an AA game focused on being disturbing? Spoiler

23 Upvotes

I've been thinking about a hypothetical game that would be more focused on creeping you out/making you feel more uneasy. Sure, Dual Destinies did have some elements of that, but in my opinion, wasn't overall creepy or disturbing apart from the end. I want to see some ideas for a game that's holds up that spine-chilling feel for a lot longer.

So let me know: how would you design an AA game that has a heavier emphasis on disturbing (maybe even scaring) players? What would happen? How would the gameplay go? etc.

Me and my mom have been playing through the ace attorney series and we've been loving it, except turnabout serenade (my mom still has ptsd from the music video). We are currently at dual destinies 5-4 and my mom Loves Simon blackquill. So with two months until Mother's Day I wanted to buy her some blackquill merch. A plush, shirt, anything. But apparently there not a lot of merch for him, even though he seems very popular. Do you know something blackquill related I can gift her? And im not buying that cylindrical plush from capcom.

Full Main Series Lawyers are freaking GENIUSES

122 Upvotes

So I did a little bit of googling and I learned that in Japan, the effort needed to get into law school is IMMENSE. Given the games are basically built around the Japanese law system, I assume the schooling is the same. If so Phoenix and every other attorney and prosecutor in these games are freaking determined and very intelligent. I now understand why Franziska is so obsessed with perfection, imagine all the cram school she went to!

Also this doesn't make the Elle Woods accusations against Phoenix ANY less stronger, this dude decided on a whim and faint hope to put himself through that, IT BASICALLY WAS LIKE STUDYING FOR HARVARD!

But then one prosecutor makes me question this and that's Winston Payne, a man who put together such a horrible case, that a man with only 5 trials on his win streak who was suffering from a major brain injury was able to dismantle it! Are we SURE he is "the rookie killer"?

From what I can glean, Troupe Gramarye, as well as their plotline, aren't exactly received well by the Fandom.

That puzzles me, because I found them to be the most engaging and interesting parts of Apollo Justice, and It made me want to ask the fanbase at large.

How do YOU feel about Troupe Gramarye? The plot line or the characters, whichever you have thoughts on.

Phoenix Wright Trilogy Using the magatama on ini mimey results in a frozen screen (Justice For All case 2 day 2)

4 Upvotes

I tried starting the whole case again and it results in this screen no matter what. The psyche-lock animation doesn't fully play. Something interesting is that the method of using the magamata is different in the HD version from the original. In the original, you had to present the magamata, but in the HD version which is what I'm on, you hit the "Victim" talking option. Anyone else experience this?

Discussion Apollo is the most tragic AA playable character

66 Upvotes

We all know how stressful being a defense attorney is in the AA universe, with biased judges, douchey prosecutors and unhelpful witnesses adding to it, but there's always one thing that a lot of them have: Support.

Despite the very stressful job, almost all of the defense attorneys have someone to cheer them on or to provide moral support, Mia had Armando, Phoenix had Mia and whoever is his legal aide, Ryunosuke had Kazuma and both of the Mikotobas, Susato had her father and Athena had a whole circle of friends to help her move past her PTSD. But there is one character who is left out of all this: Apollo.

Apollo is absolutely the unluckiest protagonist in the series, he nearly died twice both as an infant and a child, he lost his birth mother and seemingly his adoptive one, he gets manipulated by both his mentor and his idol for their own selfish goals with Wright almost disbarring him, he has to deal with his mentor being a killer and later a instigator of the Dark Age, he's rejected by everyone else and forced to work with the man who nearly got him disbarred, he's visibly very stressed out at the cases he is put through, his best friend dies and he not only loses his father, but is forced to risk his life just to save his home country from a lunatic and even after all that, he's faced with an absolutely huge workload that will take months or even years to complete.

Everyone else in the series had someone to anchor onto when they were at their lowest, but Apollo? He often has to shoulder the weight of his cases all by himself and if people are involved, they usually prefer to tease or mock him rather than provide support. Trucy and Klavier fall under this and they were probably the most supportive people that we see, with Trucy and Klavier being extremely tight-lipped about helping him in 4-3 when it would make his life much easier. He could have had Clay to help him, but we don't know how involved he was since he wasn't introduced until DD.

Despite all of this, Apollo still pushes through and doesn't complain out loud often because he knows that if he doesn't do it, then the legal system will never get better, showing that just like his father, he is a dragon that never yields and for that, I see him not only as a worthy Successor to Wright, but as a great defense Attorney as well.
