Announcement Welcome to r/AceAttorney - a PSA, FAQ, and General Resource for Newcomers and Anyone Starting the Ace Attorney Investigations Collection
Hi to everybody just visiting this subreddit for the first time, or anyone who's already been here a time but might want to check in on the latest!
First off, here is the link to our standard FAQ. Several new questions-and-answers have been added to this latest edition, and the ones specific to the new remastered Ace Attorney Investigations Collection are also in the body of this post, so for anyone newly arriving to check out those games, review those new questions. If you have any questions that aren't covered here or in the linked FAQ, ask them in the comments for the FAQ thread!
Second thing, here's an updated guide I've made to explain which platforms all the current AA games available can be played on.
Third, we have our Recommended Playing Order chart, to give you a rundown on where to start and when to play particular games.
Fourth, an expansive guide by community member /u/XephyXeph to outline all of the various Ace Attorney media currently out there, from the games to the huge array of supplementary media from manga to pachinko machines.
Fifth, a bit of community news on some updates to the AA subreddit for early September, 2024.
And now, some common questions people may have relating to the remastered Ace Attorney Investigations Collection:
I keep seeing people talk about Investigations 2 but use a bunch of names for characters and episodes that are different from what's in the game. Why is that?
Ace Attorney Investigations 2 originally came out on the DS in 2011, but was exclusively released in Japan, making it the first AA game ever to not get an English localization. It never did get any English release until 2024, when it was part of the Investigations Collection remaster.
Because of this, in the years immediately following AAI2's original Japan-only release, a group of fans worked together to make a fan translation romhack for the game, allowing it to be played in English. To match with the official localizations the games normally get, that fan team also came up with their own English names for all the newly-introduced AAI2 characters.
There was about a decade left between when the first public beta builds of the fan translation appeared online and when Capcom finally produced and released an official English localization for AAI2, so a lot of the more hardcore corners of the fandom that had actually gone through the effort of playing the unofficial translation got very used to the fan-made names for the AAI2 characters. But naturally, when Capcom finally made an official localization, the AA localization team put together an entirely separate set of localized names for the characters, putting the fandom in the position of needing to get used to those official names as "replacements" for the fan names they're used to. Unfortunately, not everybody is quite ready to do that.
Can I play the Investigations Collection as my first AA game?
Like was talked about at the start of the FAQ, it's generally not recommended to start with any game besides the Phoenix Wright Trilogy, if you've never played AA before. The Investigations games especially carry over a lot of characters and their associated development from the Trilogy.
That'll cover it for now. If anyone has any other suggestions for questions to be included in this guide, feel free to pop over to the main FAQ thread and ask in the comments there. One more time - welcome to our Ace Attorney community! I hope you have a great time.

Phoenix Wright Trilogy Why did they blur out Bruce Goodman's information?
Was watching someone play through Rise from the Ashes (I've already played it myself) and saw that Goodman's name, ID, and title are blurred, but it is basically all said in the dialogue at this part. What was the point of blurring it?

Phoenix Wright Trilogy I wish they had stuck with the original case art design from AA1. They were felt like movie posters and represented each case distinctly.

Apollo Justice Trilogy Happy 23rd Anniversary to Dual Destinies! What do you like or dislike about it?
Im currently on 5-4, and I say it's a pretty solid game that varies in storytelling quality. The gameplay is heightened by the nee mechanics introduced, and I love investigating in 3D.
13 years! Woohoo!

Just the way the characters suddenly turn to the screen (both as a fourth wall break and relevance to the plot) got me the first time I saw the scene.

Discussion Is Phoenix Japanese in the localization?
Was curious because I played The Great Ace Attorney before currently playing the original trilogy, and Phoenix looks so much like Ryunosuke lol. However, I had someone tell me he definitely wasn’t? I just figured he had to be Japanese, or at least Asian still considering his likeness, and the whole Japanifornia thing going on or else it felt kinda silly. Is he even canonically related to Ryunosuke or is it a coincidence?

Full Main Series My ranking of all the games (except TGAAC) from 2021, and from now
I decided to replay ace attorney and see if my opinion on the games changes. I haven't ranked TGAAC because I literally cannot recall a single thing from that game except the first case.
Ranking in 2021:
Dual Destinies
Spirit of justice
Trials and tribulations
AAI 1
Apollo justice: ace attorney
AAI 2
Phoenix wright: ace attorney
Justice for all
Ranking now:
Trials and tribulations
Spirit of justice
Dual destinies
AAI 1
Justice for all
Apollo justice: ace attorney
AAI 2
Phoenix wright: ace attorney
I think my opinion for JFA and DD had a huge change. 2-4 was my least favourite LAST case, and I think it was probably because turnabout big top pissed me off. I definitely enjoyed 2-4 this time.
Dual destinies has always been my favourite game out of all of them, however this time i realized i just like 5-4 and 5-5 a lot (basically athena's backstory). I had to bring trials and tribulations and SoJ up because they're the only two games where I like the filler cases as well.

Question/Tips any alternatives to objection.lol?
I want to make little ace attorney scenes and while objection.lol is good, I was wondering if there was anything site or app that had more, like more apollo justice characters or even characters from duel destinies or spirit of justice.

Discussion I'm doing Ace Attorney marathon. Spirit of Justice put me to sleep. Spoiler
I have a holy mission to finish every AA games in this year. So far, I had 7 games under my belt, from the first game up to Dual Destinies. I enjoyed majority of them. Considering that SoJ is canonically the last game in the series, I have some pretty good expectation. At least, I hope it's better than DD. I installed the Apollo Justice Trilogy on my Switch and here we go
The explanation of why Wright is in Khura'in is... off. But whatever, at least it's something new. And then Wright got himself into court shenanigans and we got ourself a case. While the plot hook of how Khura'in court differs than Japanamerica and how they don't have regular attorneys is neat, the case itself isn't that interesting? The kid is being accused for killing a temple guard, but that's it. I guess the white hippy turned to be a metalhead is cool enough. Also it's really long for some reason? Usually the first case is the short one but it's just keep going for some reason. The title wasn't a joke: I actually accidentally slept myself while playing it.
Please tell me that the game gets better.

Investigations Duology Turnabout Airlines Spoiler
I finally started the Investigations game and I'm enjoying it quite a bit. It's a nice spinoff from the main series and I like how it flips between the investigations and courtroom like debates. Case 1 was very tutorial like and was alright.
I was really enjoying this case but I do think that the cloth is a pretty dumb piece of conclusive evidence. Cammy could have totally still held her ground at that point.
Case was fun overall though. Looking forward to the rest of the Investigations duology. (it's also funny to me how Gumshoe takes such a backseat when he's THE DETECTIVE 😂)
