Oh man oh man I really liked this. I’ve been working on this game for 2 years, partially because I was reluctant to really get into it given how hard it was (at the time) to get my hands on Dual Destinies and the fact the third game wasn’t even translated.
Then it came to switch! And so did the Miles Edgeworth games! So that’s great.
I guessed two years ago that Apollo and Trucy were siblings because of their eyes and orphan-ness and the person I asked just went ‘I don’t really remember the games that well’ and I would have thought another person was just trying not to spoil me but you know what, I don’t miss talking about games with that person. It was very unrewarding even though they were always initiating it.
So! I finished the game while on vacation and away from WoW and I’d also correctly guessed who their mother was, so that was cool. No idea why she ditched baby Apollo though, maybe that’ll be reviewed in a later game. Maybe in Dual Destinies! Which I started now!
But back to Apollo Justice – I keep saying that Apollo is such a good boy and doesn’t deserve the shit Phoenix and Trucy give him. I think Trucy is exactly the daughter Phoenix should have, though. A really well matched pair. And I loved seeing Phoenix at the height of his career right before it all came crashing down – he was ready for what happened, the build up was great.
I need to look up the ‘bad ending’ on youtube – I forgot to save before I spared Vera Misham so I haven’t been able to see it yet.
I missed the clue about the ‘spiked hair’ also applying to Kristoph because I didn’t realize that thing he did with his hair was a spike, I thought it was just a really tight curl. I forgot this was an Ace Attorney game, with the wild character designs. I love the designs.
Honestly my favourite part of this game was dirtbag Phoenix. It suited him so well.
I’m still wondering where the hell the Feys are though.
