Wouldn’t it be funny if Phoenix and Maya retained the baker skills they gained with the 5 years worth of fake memories. Like they decide to bake some bread one day and everyone is very confused as to why they’re so good at it

My piece for the Ace Attorney WLW minibang @aawlwminibang !! I've been drafting up a dgs ballet au and since I constantly compared PLvsPW to Princess Tutu I thought to draw Evespella with a ballet inspiration :}

There is nothing better than Professor Layton’s polite speak for “Phoenix, you are so off base that you’re not even on the field anymore. In fact, I’m not sure if you’re even playing the same sport.”

if Professor Layton ever saw Maya channel Mia he would be shitting bricks, I think. Enough bricks to build a bridge across the Channel, above water.

"It- it must be some sort of hallucinogen gas– or maybe some chemical– some remnants of Labyrinthia must've stuck to Miss Fey–" Layton stammered, grasping for the puzzle's solution like it was worth 60 picarats, or like a desperate man whose worldview was rapidly shifting and he was left to the tides without a float.

"No, professor," Mia said, placidly smiling, "I really am dead. Got struck in the head with a blunt object, wouldn't recommend it."

"It can't be. Every puzzle has an answer–"

*LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER* 45/60 picarats

Ever since I accidentally picked up and played DGS, I knew I needed to play PLVSPW. I decided to alternate playing ace attorney games with professor layton games until I finished the main trilogies for both and could finally play plvspw, and it was so worth the wait. I love this game so much it is everything I could have hoped and more, so so so much more. Highly recommend to honestly anyone!!!

Summary

This game is everything I hoped it would be. yes it's a Professor Layton crossover, but it also has the charm of DGS x Princess tutu x tunic. The ending was very layton-esque, along with all the reveals. I truly had such an amazing time playing this game. I was initially introduced to this because I heard that DGS was inspired by it, so it was my mission to play both aa and pl's original trilogies before playing. And I am so glad I did bc the wait was so worth it. You can absolutely see the influence this game and professor layton had on Shu Takumi. There's so much passion and creativity between plvspw an dgs that makes playing them all the more enjoyable. I loved how all the main characters interacted with each other, I especially loved how hershel and phoenix swapped assistants. The new characters were also so fun. Espella, Barnham, Darklaw, the story-teller, they were all so unique and enjoyable to interact with. The animation was stellar. This 3D style really works for both PL and AA and im so glad both series took inspiration from it. The music and art was phenomenal, this game honestly should win awards if it hasn't already done so. I also love how any character pulled into an aa game will have their gay moments: phoenix x hershel and espella x eve especially. I can't wait to make art or even write for this game, I will definitely add scenes from this to my ballet au ^^! What a phenomenal game, what a fun premise with the most convoluted layton-esque ending. It was so perfectly I highly recommend!!

hi. is this anything :)

[astrologista]

I wonder why Jean Greyerl and Darklaw have the same mannerism.

And then I realized. This can ONLY be Newton Belduke's mannerism, even though we never see him do it.

[darklight-owl]

I don't know why the image of Layton being knocked out and carried off is so funny to me like how did they do that without making a scene did they chloroform him

[pumpkinsouppe]

Layton drinks tea and maya eats ramen in their pixel sprites,,, you’re killing me this is so cute
