2-4: Farewell, My Turnabout |
|
Maya's kidnapper demands that Phoenix get his client an aquittal, or else... DEFENSE: Phoenix Wright PROSECUTOR: Miles Edgeworth DEFENDANT: Matt Engarde VICTIM: Juan Corrida KILLER: Shelly de Killer, hired by Matt Engarde
This classic case starts off as a sequel to 1-3, with appearances by a few of that story's characters (...hello again, Oldbag). However, it soon raises the stakes when Maya gets kidnapped and threatened, and Phoenix's aim for "Not Guilty" is more important than ever! Complicating matters is (BIG SPOILERS) the slow realization that your client ISN'T telling the truth, and is actually guilty himself! Suddenly, Phoenix finds himself in an incredible dilemma: fight for truth and justice but have Maya die, or allow a guilty man to go free for Maya's safe return? It's an incredible case for Phoenix and Edgeworth that really evaluates their characters and relationships and makes for perhaps the most tense, gut-wrenching moments of the series.

3-5: Bridge to the Turnabout |
|
A mystery on a mountaintop leads to everyone working together to solve one last impossible murder...DEFENSE: Phoenix Wright PROSECUTOR: Godot DEFENDANT: Iris VICTIM: Elise Deauxnim, aka Misty Fey KILLER: Godot, aka Diego Armando
Here it is--the ultimate case! My goodness, this one is just nonstop greatness. The new characters are great--Elise, Iris and Bikini--but what really shines is all the old returning cast, who each play a role in the story. After the first day, Phoenix gets hospitalized, making for a playable Edgeworth for the first time in the series during the second day! And just when you think you have it figured out, the game pulls the rug out from you, again and again! The final breakdown is super-satisfying and well-earned after a game full of putting up with Dahlia's shiz, and the ending is super heartwarming and will have any PW fan reaching for the tissues. Everything comes together here to wrap up a ton of loose ends--Maya, Pearl and Morgan, Godot, Dahlia, and Iris and Phoenix's story. A fantastic topper to a terrific trilogy.

Bridge to the Turnabout at #1? What an epic finale to the original trilogy. I hereby declare your list....valid. ...Although the lack of 1-5 is a little disappointing . From the minute you realise Damon Gant is guilty and you have to put up with that smug mocking sneer...And then you finally nail him to the wall. So satisfying. Probably would put that in at Number 4, because I can't argue with 1 2 and 3. The rest of the list is open to interpretation I guess. EDIT: Was Recipe for Turnabout the one with Bizarro Phoenix ( Furio Tigre?) That was a pretty memorable moment too . What an idiotic courtroom. |

@TriforceBunI think Ace Attorney's under-representation is a combination of the lack of movie-like cutscenes, the strange Americanization of the setting, the fact it's on the 3DS and, most importantly, the silly names. When people are named Larry Butz, Dick Gumshoe, Wendy Oldbag and Shelly de Killer, some people might find it hard to take the narrative seriously. Plus, the "guilty until proven innocent" aspect of the trials can be off-putting in a way. All that said, I am, and will forever be in love with the series. |
