i'm honestly still kind of floored by how well these characters line up with one another.
TAPPING THE POST BECAUSE IM REITERATING IT FOR
I SWEAR TO FUCK WE’RE GETTING THERE. WE’RE GETTING TO AA7
My opinion on the Apollo Justice Trilogy
I think this is actually a really good thing. I know a lot of people are really upset because we got a port and not an actual new game, but personally I think it’s a good thing. Why? I have a few reasons
1) We have access to all the 1-6 games now
Before the Phoenix Wright Trilogy port, we could only play Ace Attoney on the ds/3ds; especially since nintendo shut down Wii Shop Channel, which was the only other place you can buy it. Honestly, I like the port because now I don’t have to re-buy a 3ds to play any of the original games. That, and the revamp of the art just looks beautiful
2) It allows more people to join the fandom
Its hard to get people to join a fandom where half of the lore you can only access through a loved, but very outdated console. As fun as it is to do, most people don’t want to sit around and listen to you explain convoluted cases.
3) New fans can play all the 1-6 games rather than having to watch playthroughs
If youre a new fan who only came around when the Trilogy or Chronicles were released, you probably aren’t looking to buy a $300-$500 ds just to play 3 ~$15 games. Its so much more fun to play the game than watch a play through because YOU get the satisfaction of playing it yourself and figuring out the cases. It gets people even more interested and invested into the series
4) You can’t play a new game if you only know half the story
Yeah, 4-6 might have a few kinks or annoyances, but it introduces important characters like Apollo, Athena, Trucy, Klavier, and their story; especially the new character growth and development. How do you expect to know or understand how Phoenix got his badge taken, or that he has a DAUGHTER? Its still pretty damn important. Chronicles could be released because you didn’t have to know anything about the prior Ace Attorney games. You didn’t even have to know who Phoenix Wright was.
All in all, I’m really excited for the port, because hey, who knows, maybe we’ll get 7-9 or something AFTER the ports release? I just feel like we need to stop looking at it as Capcom being ‘lazy’ or ‘ignoring us’ because I think they might be gearing up to give us a lot more attention.
Anyway that’s my opinion! I think you guys should just think about it a bit more :)
Does anyone else share the vision
