#i can see why AA4 is so divisive. i was chatting with my pal Lavender the other night about AA and she LOVED AA4 and i could see why

it's always kind of a weird situation when you dislike something but it's not because it's bad, so it feels like it's difficult to explain why you don't like it.

i really dislike Ace Attorney 4, just. based on vibes alone. and i sound like a crazy person every time i try to explain it KRKFK

i simply don't like it. but i see why people like it, too. i respect how bold it was with the direction it wished to take the series. it didn't want to rest on its laurels and tried a new angle for the games. it just didn't work for me. i love DD and SOJ, they're my favorite games in the series, but they play way too safe after the mixed reaction to AA4 and it really undermined Apollo's character, and the other characters tbh.

i don't really care about most of the plot points set up in AA4 so it doesn't actually bother me, but i see on an objective level that it's fucking absurd that they dropped everything except for like, the dark age law stuff and if i was an AA fan experiencing DD and SOJ as they came out i'd be kinda pissed they just ignored everything AA4 set up.

it's just profoundly, deeply not for me. and i'm kinda relieved the rest of the trilogy didn't follow in its footsteps. i guess that's all i should have to say.

#psy's no punctuation posts #aa tag #it's literally just like... #i hate the way it looks (the vibes of the visuals are rancid to me. even though it looks the exact same as the original trilogy) #like i can't explain it but the set and character designs Bother Me so so deeply. completely inexplicably #the characters are okay i guess but i had a hard time getting into them. love Trucy n Kristoph tho #i don't particularly like the cases either... they have good moments. i like Wocky. i actually like 4-3 a decent amount. Vera was cool #i think 4-3 is not near as bad as peop;le act funny enough KRKF. i actually liked that case the most out of the 4 #i don't really like Klavier. Apollo feels flat in this one. he and Klavier have no chemistry to even speak of #like you (i) get this profound feeling of 'they have no feelings about each other. not positive nor negative. that's how little they impact #each other's lives' and DD only made that feeling worse. it was like awkwardly running into a kid you went to school with #but wasn't even friends with so you just awkwardly say hi and then move on lol #like it feels so odd that i can't put my finger on why i hate the vibes of this game so much #i just. hated it i don't know!!! #i can see why AA4 is so divisive. i was chatting with my pal Lavender the other night about AA and she LOVED AA4 and i could see why #after she explained why it worked for her. just didn't click for me. i am not a fan
