Can't believe they tried to convict Edgeworth for something he did when he was 9 years old. Your honour he was literally neurodivergent and a minor.

Ace Attorney Investigations 2: Prosecutor's Gambit Review!

Spoilers Ahead!

★ Score: 8.5/10 ★ Date Finished: September 8th, 2024 ★ Final Thoughts: Another amazing installment into the Ace Attorney franchise. I was nervous about this game because its direct predecessor is kind of just average in comparison to other entries. But this game really shines through by the end. The first and second cases aren't anything to write home about at a surface level. They come off as vaguely unimportant and boring at certain moments, but they drop multiple hints that more is at play for this overall story. The third case makes things more interesting, playing as Gregory is a fun twist and coordinating the past case to the one Miles is currently working on is clever. At times it would get confusing due to various switches between perspective and a few things looking identical for very logical reasons. Regardless, the game does well enough to make sure the player has a good understand of all that is transpiring before them. The fourth case was probably my favorite in the game, yes its your typical "important supporting character get amnesia" but what can I say its typical for a reason. The game plants seeds of an overarching force at play during previous parts of the game, but these are when they really start to sprout. Finally the last case is when these sprouts bloom and everything unfolds in front of you. The last case can also be hard to follow at times, there is so much going on that its easy to get lost or confused but it all makes sense in the end. This case holds a lot of interesting reveals and plot twist, I was completely hooked. This game does some amazing character work, probably some of the best in the series. There are so many genuinely complex characters in this game, with Edgeworth finally facing a true choice on his path as a prosecutor, Courtney's slow transition from your opponent to a great ally as her intentions come to light, Sebastian Debeste finally finding his own feet and standing up against his ass-hat father, and lastly Simon Keyes being the grand reveal at the end and playing the villain really damn well (in a reveal I can only hope surprised others more than me lol). The music in this game is also fucking great, probably some of my favorite tracks are in here.. but at the same time there are a few that are a little harsh on the ears, but it balances out. I am glad this game is finally out by legal means in the US but I think there is really something special about getting to experience the fan translation, there is a lot of community love put into this game and you can tell.

THANK YOU OFFICAL AA TWITTER ACC!!!!!! THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE

[morally-grey-girlbosses]

The top two characters will be eligible to proceed into the bracket!

Propaganda under the cut.

Dahlia Hawthorne:

did a lot of murders and poisonings but they deserved it imo so she’s ok

She has committed so many crimes. And in an outfit that wouldn’t look out of place on Barbie at that. She’s the DEFINITION of girlboss, and she can poison me any time.

Aura Blackquill:

her brother got framed for the murder of her wife and she became bitter and evil because of it. this led to her holding an entire space center full of people hostage to get him a retrial

So she may have a robot army to take a couple people hostage, and blamed an 11 year old child for killing their own mom (who was her work partner and maybe sort of girlfriend), but in her defense her brother was about to be executed for a murder he did not commit and there was definitely some evidence that pointed towards the 11 year old being the culprit. So what else was she supposed to do? Just sit by while another important person to her is taken away and the real killer gets to go free? She tried to do things right and go through the police but that didn't work, and sometimes when you run out of options and run out of time you have to use unconventional methods. And in the end it worked and the execution was cancelled and the real killer was found (it wasn't actually the 11 year old child, now 18, but that's beside the point), so in the end things were ultimately better as a result of her actions so you can't exactly say she shouldn't have done it. So she did some things wrong but they are also understandable. I don't think she's a bad person deep down, she just got screwed over by the broken justice system.

Kidnapped a bunch of people but it was like. So the courts would do a retrial for her brother because she believed he was innocent (he was) a day before his execution, and so who she believed the true killer was (she wasn't) would take his place (she didn't) Also a lesbian <3

Franziska von Karma was submitted without propaganda, but I know AA well enough to attempt to write my own. She is obsessed with the idea of crafting the "perfect case" and goes so far as to hide evidence, manipulate witnesses, and also physically assault everyone with a whip in order to achieve it. However she was only doing it to avenge her adopted brother and at the end of the game she comes around and ends up delivering the crucial piece of evidence to save the protagonist's assistant from being killed by an assassin.

Dee Vasquez was submitted without propaganda. My attempt: She has ties to the yakuza and blackmailed one of the actors at her studio into basically being a slave to her. When he gets fed up and ends up trying to kill her she kills him in self-defense, making her one of the few "true culprits" in the series who would actually be found not guilty in an IRL court of law.

Ini/Mimi Miney was submitted without propaganda. My attempt: She was overworked to the point that she accidentally killed about a dozen people by switching their meds while sleep-deprived, then felt so bad about it that she got into a car crash, stole her sister's identity, and pretended she was dead for years. Then she killed a guy because she was worried about him revealing her secret.

Jezaille Brett / Assa Shinn:

prime example of god forbid women do anything. like cmon she just killed a bunch of people and left no trail behind so masterfully she up and haunted the entire goddamn narrative. her name is mentioned in secret messages in streets in papers in fear in mystery and we don't know her motivations still; why does she do what she does we do not know, and will never find out. fucking girlboss she's there for one case then the next we see her she's dead. what is up with this woman and why is she so important despite not seeming so ever.

Olive Green:

She qualifies as after her fiancé died from gas inhalation, she had questions about his death and suspected one of his fellow tenants to have murdered him rather than it being an accident. She consequently attempted to murder him. She rocks because we have to stan a vengeful woman!!!!!

Iris Hawthorne / Sister Iris Hazakurain / Sister Iris of Hazakura Temple:

well she’s more morally ambiguous than her sister!!!! she covered up a lot of crimes and lied about her identity to her (long series of hand gestures to indicate how complicated the boyfriend status is) Sorta Boyfriend for. like nine months i think. and she would have gotten away with it too if not for her co-conspirators fucking everything up

Everyday I wake up in the morning and I think to myself "How would the other Ace Attorney characters react to the knowledge that Phoenix Wright ate glass at the age of 20?"

And everyday, I laugh to myself for 45 seconds at the thought. Thank you, Ace Attorney, for making Phoenix Wright eat glass.

[chrispypapas]

with apollos game, the aa game makers thought that phoenix’s story was over and they didnt know how to continue the game for him. so its understandable they didnt know where to go with phoenix’s story line after aa4, however they jumped right back into phoenix’s story line with aa5 and they got lost in it. they focused so hard on how the game looks and plays they forgot to fully create the story and its really obvious that they werent using the previous games as reference.  with the drama cd for the extra case that came with aa5, apollo says that hes never worked a magician case before, and thats a flat out lie. apollos entire game was basically about magicians from the first case you play. then you play aa6 and athena and simon are just.... kinda there... they feel so empty. klavier is only there through DLC and he feels like a klavier cardboard cut out, that is not the man who had to help convict his own brother of murder and has to deal with that he was the reason that famous defense attorney phoenix wright was disbarred, aND KLAVIERS NOT GONNA TALK ABOUT ANY OF THAT?? IN AA5 OR AA6????
