Ace Attorney fave case list

okay so I wanted to write about my fave AA cases but in like. a weird award list sort of way. so I assigned each of my fave cases some top-tier totally unbiased awards!

(there will be spoilers)

(also this is just the main games. the AAI games, the Layton game, and DGS all should get their own categories) (and I haven’t played either DGS games yet)

Best Protagonist Showcase --

> 2-4!! Farewell, My Turnabout!

This case has some great tunes and is a very, very good look into Phoenix Wright as a character. This is probably the best look into our playable character the games have ever given us. I mean, AAI2 got close, but seeing Phoenix struggle against both himself and the case (and Edgeworth) is just. *chef’s kiss* Perfection, I love it more every time I come back to it.

Best Prosecutor Showcase --

> 1-4!! Turnabout Goodbyes!

This is still the only case we’ve gotten where you defend your rival prosecutor and it is very near and dear to my heart because of that. I feel like this is the reason why Edgeworth is such a popular character, because all of his angst and depth comes out here and it is amazing. Making a rival character like Edgeworth whom we learn about to this extent and can connect to so much? Genius. And we see babies!! That’s important to me.

Best Villain --

> 1-5!! Rise from the Ashes!

Look you cannot tell me there’s been a better villain than Damon Gant. Chief of Police for two years after manipulating a serial killer case, making Edgeworth present forged evidence and throwing the Chief Prosecutor under the bus for it. He got too comfortable in his seat (as Von Karma did before him) and found out the hard way that committing a crime is a lot harder than it is to catch a criminal! (Also Phoenix really came into his own in this case, it’s beautiful.)

Best Assistant Showcase --

> 6-4!! Turnabout Storyteller!

okay you can tell I’m a sucker for the chance to work with your prosecutor buddies because holy shit, the only reason I stopped hating SOJ so much was because this case happened (and it only gets better from here). It’s just so nice to see Blackquill adjusting to life now that he’s not on death row! Having friends he wants you to defend! And then GRABBING YOU UP IN A THREAT!! Holy shit words cannot describe how awesome it was to see that.

Best Bait and Switch --

> 3-5!! Bridge to the Turnabout!

Oof okay so setting up the whole Dahlia mystery and then taking Phoenix out entirely for the first day of the trial?? Honest to goodness genius move, holy shit that was such a game changer for the series. This case has a lot of bait and switches happening, but that one. That one is my favourite.

Best Mess --

> 4-3!! Turnabout Serenade!

This one was a real close call between it and 6-2 (or 3-1, if I’m being honest), but watching the concert video over and over again has the same vibes as watching the Blue Badger in 1-5 and therefore it wins out This case sucks on all logical levels, but it’s fun and I like the progression it takes for the characters, so it is the best mess hands down.

Best First Case --

> 4-1!! Turnabout Trump!

Holy shit this one is such a gut punch, what a way to start off a game. First setting up the scene, in which it’s been seven years and Phoenix was mysteriously disgraced as a lawyer. Then it builds, giving us Kristoph being just a little suspicious, enough so that the player is steered towards suspecting him for the big reveal. And then!! The bloody ace!! The betrayal!!! This case is meant to throw everything you know about the original trilogy on its head and it does it so well that it’s just. The best.

Best Final Case --

> 6-5!! Turnabout Revolution!

Listen okay 2-4 is so good and 3-5 is also great, but 6-5 really steals the show. First ever appearance of a Civil Case?? And it’s against Phoenix Wright??? Amazing. All the investigation beforehand exploring Apollo’s very mixed feelings on his foster dad?? Perfect. And then the investigation in Khura’in and the trial after!! Holy shit, this entire case was such a showstopper that I will adamantly tell you to please play SOJ if you, like me, skipped it because it was digital only.

(the mmd models are the only thing that I actively hate in this case, but your mileage may vary on that one. I personally think mmd models look so damn awkward anytime they show up and it just ruins any and all tension the scene is trying to set... XD)

and, of course,

Best Turnabout --

> 1-3!! Turnabout Samurai!

Honestly, this award could go to any case (and 1-2 is a close second in my heart), but seeing Edgeworth realise right at the end that Phoenix’s arguments are making sense, that he’s right, is just so good. I like this case a lot more than a lot of others do I think just for this reason alone. And all the Gumshoe friendship building is also important. Dee Vasquez deserved better.

....and that’s all I got! Try this out for yourself if you want, I like hearing people’s opinions and I’d like to see what all awards and reasons others might have for their own favourite cases.

8, 9, and 10 please! I'm curious :3

8. Why do you choose to write?

Hmm... tough one! I guess I love the idea of bringing ideas to life, even if they’re silly, or sad, or angsty. There’s just something about writing that draws me in. I love creating complex characters with flaws, hopes, dreams and then dropping them in a scenario they aren't prepared for. It’s like watching a movie play out in my head that I just happened to write down. A moment in time, from another world captured in prose. I dunno, I guess I just write for the fun of it XD.

9. Do you ever have plans to write anything other then fic?

Oh you have no idea!

Prepare yourselves, this is a long one:

I recently wrote an entire novel (50,000 words for nanowrimo) that focuses on the fall of an intergalactic empire, from the point of view of the empire. Specifically, the Prince, Volker.

Basically I thought to myself “we always see a rebellion in sci-fi from the point of view of the plucky rebellion, but what if we saw it from the Empire itself?”

The thing is, Volker isn't a bad guy, none of the people in the empire are really, save for a few. This is the same in the Rebellion, the leader isn't an evil person outright, she has legitimate grievances with the empire, one’s that have been unanswered for too long.

So basically I wanted to write a story where you can sympathize with both the empire and the rebellion, one that focuses on love, family, anger, betrayal, learning to forgive, but in a sincere believable way.

Thats just the first idea I had ;P

Number 2:

This story focuses on a half elf boy named Bayard.

In the beginning, he's roused from sleep by his human father and told they have to leave. At first, Bayard doesn't understand whats happening, but its revealed that the King has ordered a bounty on all elves in his country. So the boy and his father retreat into the woods, only to be pursued by the kings men.

they’re destination is Elali, Bayard’s elven mother who has been absent for the past five years of his life.

Bayard is separated from his father and is forced to flee on foot, eventually making his way to his mother’s forest.

When he meets her for the first time, she is cold, distant. When next he wakes he’s inside the Elven city and is brought before the high council, of which his mother sits. She argues that since his father is missing and he’s her son, he should stay. The council overrules this, citing that “no half-breed can remain in the city” and that he is to live with the other half elves in another part of the forest.

Bayard in anger berates his mother for her distance, furious that she’d let this happen, eventually deciding to leave on his own. At the edge of the forest his mother approaches and tells him that she has given up her title and place in their society to come with him. From there they have to learn to be a family once again.

The thing I want to explore with this story is worldbilding and the creation of an original elven race, language and all.

The elven language will be based off of czechoslovakian, acting as the root dialect. From there I want to draw the symbols and actually have a working language that can be spoken and understood.

Those are my ideas, if you want more detail i’ll be glad to elaborate!

10. What inspires you the most?

Oi... hmm

This one’s tricky.

I guess I’m inspired by a lot of things, movies i’ve seen, books i’ve read, games I play, fic i’ve read, artwork, people, music. Its hard to pin down.

On the movie side of things I have to say that Star Wars and Indiana Jones are huge influences, along with Lord Of The Rings, Blade Runner and Alien.

Books:

LOTR of course, Karen Traviss’s glorious Clone Wars Republic Commando series, The Airborn series by Kenneth Oppel (great deiselpunk swashbuckling goodness), A Series of Unfortunate Events, The Honor Harrington series by David Weber (Awesome hard sci-fi with a badass female protagonist, theres 14 books seriously check it out), The Witcher series (some of the best female characters i’ve seen), Game Of Thrones (I think this one is self explanatory)

Games:

Mass Effect (obviously), Dragon Age, Overwatch, Halo, Alien: Isolation, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Bioshock Series (Made me cry, no joke), Portal Series (same reaction), For Honor (great game, terrible online service), Fallout Series.

Fic:

@xavirne obviously ;D

Great angst, characterization, funny dialogue (read her stuff if you haven't already). Seriously when you have the time, please write more I think everyone’s dying from the drought!
