liveblogging the great ace attorney: the adventure of the great departure-trial part 3

hoo boy. been a while, huh? sorry about that, i don't have an excuse. however! i'm here now, for an..... admittedly stupid reason (i saw a compilation of this game's prosecutor objecting and needed to know if it was real or not)

again, sorry for the shitty quality, i can't transfer pics off of my switch for shit. i did add image ids this time though!

reactions under the cut! also i won't have screenshots for all of my thoughts cause i took like a hundred screenshots and there just isn't room

oh shit women weren't allowed in the courtroom unless they were testifying (or on trial probably)? did not know that but also i'm not a lawyer irl nor do i want to be one it kinda sounds like hell

ma'am did you steal this (also love how everyone's crowded behind the defense bench it's very cute)

also apparently susato is sixteen, which means no forced heterosexuality! yay!

something about curare, continuing the long tradition of ace attorney giving fictional elements stupid names (except atroquinine, but i am deeply deeply attached to aa4's characters and story so i might be biased)

edit: i’m an idiot and curare is a real thing. thank you for correcting me @addicted-to-12th-intro!

will you just shut the fuck up

man this poison is like a really fucked up way to die? goddamn

sorry for pics of auchi twice in a row but that's not. there are no rules about this shit

oh she's racist yuck (this might not be a new thing idk it's been over a year since i last played the game)

I'M????????????? MA'AM WHAT THE HELL

AND THEN SHE'S FINE? WHAT THE FUCK

phoenix's true ancestor istg /j

do you think about me being a lawyer often? gayass

bro WHAT

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

GOD THAT'S SUCH A FUNNY SPRITE HOLY SHIT

alright i'm sorry i just had to share that

HOSONAGA WHY AREN'T YOU DOING ANYTHING THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM

AND THEN SHE JUST FUCKING DESTROYED THE EVIDENCE???? WHAT

yeah i can't excuse that actually that was really fucking dumb of you

okay i hate to agree with auchi here i really do but the thing about ryu "just remembering" the bloodstain is pretty out there

hosonaga apparently is here to save my ass and be really. pretty weird actually

like thanks for bringing the evidence but maybe care about what your superiors think of it

also is this a regular occurrence cause if so maybe. do something about that.

cackling at the judge calling hosonaga "man" that's really fucking funny

god okay this next part took me FOREVER cause i didn't realize i could examine the evidence while presenting it and i was down to my last badge before i figured it out it was awful but! i did it!

you do not fucking have one bestie you're like. an english major i'm pretty sure don't quote me on that it's been a while

auchi says i wasn't invited, which i'm fairly certain is incorrect something tells me i was in fact invited to my own trial

in a truly shocking turn of events, the witnesses from the very beginning are back! and when i say "a truly shocking turn of events" i mean "i didn't think anyone cared enough to bring them back after like nineteen hours of the trial"

so see a chiropractor? (sorry)

the witnesses come in and are kinda funny? maybe? idk this trial has been going on for a very long time and my brain is melting out of my ears

hosonaga wants to say something! which thank god he's like the only reliable witness in the courtroom. maybe he's misinformed sometimes but goddamn it seems like he's doing his best

he was at the restaurant looking for a thief which he maybe said before? again this trial is LONG

nosa is apparently the thief of la carneval! which isn't. too surprising tbh that was going to be one of the witnesses and brett is obviously the killer while there's no reason for korekuta to steal from himself

nosa is trying to pin the blame on his infant son which. is quite a choice. a really funny choice, but still. a choice

oh he has a breakdown! it's pretty entertaining tbh i don't really have anything against it

oh fuck this is actually kinda sad

like he just wants to provide for his son and he's not paid hardly at all i feel bad for him

i do kinda wish he wasn't here cause the stuff with him and korekuta is just dragging the trial out longer than necessary but aside from that? i have nothing against this choice

also i love how his mustache is all crumpled after his breakdown and then stays that way for the rest of the trial jgkalsjglkasjg

don't make a persona 5 reference don't make a persona 5 reference don't-

brett wants to leave and like fair enough this whole trial has been going on for way too long i want to leave too but goddammit let me indict you please i'm so tired

didn't phoenix say this to apollo in turnabout trump in regards to the ace /j

brett is going to have tea with the minister of justice which like. how the FUCK do you know them you're studying chemistry or whatever just because you're british does NOT mean you know that guy i'm going insane and losing my mind

GET HER ASS

nosa says he does not have the balls to ask brett if he can hide a stolen item in her food which. fair i wouldn't either and she one million percent killed a man

also why are you shoving you baby back behind your shoulder everyone is aware of him by now

but there was time for snappy naming, apparently

brett is trying to eat her mask now, apparently. doesn't seem like a particularly healthy meal to me but go off ig maybe it's different in britain

the other steak has blood on the plate! hooray! i've won! probably hopefully please god

WHAT THE FUCK THAT SWAN IS ALIVE

goddamn that's a breakdown and a half

is that what you call it

did i call her having a place for a gun in her outfit? i'm so certain i did. it being under her skirt tracks though it's not like anyone could look without. issues.

ma'am this is not a misdemeanor you fucking murdered a man

KAZUMA WHAT

did this bitch just draw his sword in a courtroom and cut off the prosecution's topknot from across the room

AND THEN JUST FUCKING SAY THAT? SAY YOU'RE A HOMOSEXUAL AND GO, SIR

what the fuck is this mission that the judge is talking about

don't like that expression!

oh ryu's on the witness stand for the verdict, that's cute

FJLKASJGLAKSJGLASG AUCHI HASN'T FUCKING MOVED SINCE KAZUMA CUT HIS TOPKNOT THAT'S REALLY FUNNY

post trial time! apparently kazuma's sword is a family heirloom or something. idk what does it mean when someone says "this is the spirit of my family clan"

he's bringing the sword to britain? good fucking luck with that bestie

oh this man is GAY gay huh

ah. brett's not gonna face consequences for her crimes. fuck

oh susato's so nice and helpful and i appreciate her doing my paperwork for me thank you ma'am

idk, mia, belief in your client?

oh shit i was right

wait. wait fuck. wait fuck the next case is case two how bad are these parallels gonna be shit

i'm already attached too FUCK

yeah that's not gonna be a thing for another hundred years or so idk when this game takes place

oh boy kazuma wants to ask me a favor and ryu has already basically agreed so they're clearly dating (please god let me be wrong about the mia parallels)

again, i am an english student or. whatever

she was in the courtroom for five minutes sir

LMAO THE HOSONAGA DISS

and that's the end of the trial! hopefully the next case won't take nearly as long to get out, but we shall see! until next time!

My lovely friend got me The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles for Christmas so now for the first time I'm playing an Ace Attorney game! And I'm probably going to talk about it here! Starting with:

I was worried when I saw the first few characters have relatively normal Japanese names instead of puns, and then Iyesa Nosa and Kyurio Korekuta came on the scene and I breathed a sigh of relief.

#kxl plays tgaa #hosonaga is also one but iyesa nosa and kyurio korekuta are so fucking blatant it's hilarious

[morphogenetic]

dgs thoughts so far:

1) asougi :)

2) i know part of the point of dgs (from what I've heard, not so much from what I've played so far though it's definitely present) is "wow xenophobia is stupid" but wow. insulting someone from japan as an "island boy" feels like the flattest insult possible from someone from BRITAIN, WHICH IS

YOU KNOW

AN ISLAND ?

3) with that said it drives me crazy that the localization changed some of the japanese witness' names. not bc I really intrinsically hate changing the names to make the pun more obvious in english, but my god if you're going to do that can you do me a solid and make the puns actual japanese names instead of whatever the fuck you tried to do with kyurio korekuta. bc this feels like it's actively undermining part of the game's message.

4) took me a solid two hours to remember that Watson -> Wilson in this game and so it also took me like two hours to go "THEY MURDERED WATSON IN THE FIRST CASE??"

#aj plays dgs #anyway. will probably play a bit of case 2 tonight but definitely am not finishing it for a bit

the great ace attorney chronicles post

i went to a really cool video game / CD / DVD / comic / manga store and i HAD to patronize them because i don't want such stores to stop existing even if i'm not going to go there very often because it's quite far from where i live. so i bought the great ace attorney chronicles on switch because it was the only game i felt like i really wanted to buy.

i have played most of the other ace attorney games. i like them, but i'm not an active fan, if that makes sense? i love the weirdness of the characters. i like the game mechanics. the stories are usually fun. i even played the crossover game with professor layton a few years ago. so now the great ace attorney chronicles is both Great Ace Attorney games stuck together for my convenience?! how... convenient!!!

anyway this is the first time i've played an ace attorney game in several years and i started playing it with just a little trepidation. like what if it's not fun? but of course it'll be fun… but what if it's not? i was also interested to see how the english version approaches localization when this one explicitly and undeniably takes place in japan. i already knew that they couldn't localize the name of ryuunosuke naruhodou (apart from omitting a "u" from each name), and i also already knew that phoenix wright's non-localized name is naruhodou, so i was curious to see how they'd tackle it. it seems they've taken the approach of making jokes out of some of the names (iyesa nosa and kyurio korekuta, for example) while keeping the important characters' names intact and punless to the untrained eye (like you only know the pun of "naruhodo" if you know a little japanese). which i think is the best path they could have taken, given the difficult circumstances of pitting "an entire history of punful localized names in the series" against "keeping japanese names for characters who are clearly japanese." (i even just went to court-records.net to check on the japanese name of korekuta and yes of course it was a localization pun and his original japanese name was different. that means they also added or greatly changed brett's line about how the "kyuri" in his name is like the word for "cucumber.") very interesting. i'm eager to look at more fun localized or not localized names as i continue the game. that being said, i do want to know the naming puns for the characters whose names remain in japanese, like hosonaga. (without looking at the kanji… hosoi means thin and nagai means long, so is he mr. long and thin, is that the joke…? [note added in later: yes, that does seem to be the extent of the joke. even the kanji match.] ) and mikotoba (mi can mean beautiful, and kotoba is words, so is he mr. beautiful words, is that the joke…? but that doesn't have anything to do with being a professor of forensic science?? is it a different mi? is it body, is it 3? i don't know. [note added in later: it's a different mi. it's 御 which you usually see pronounced as "go" and the phrase 御言葉 mikotoba means "word of god" in a christian sense. so that's the joke?]) maybe i'll just play the whole game and then look up the jokes of everyone's names later?

(after playing the 2nd and 3rd chapters)

i did have a strong suspicion that kazuma was going to die. his death flag was "too flawlessly capable; not weird enough." there's no way someone that smart, capable, and helpful could survive an entire ace attorney game. his death was extra sad, though, because accidental deaths are sadder than murders, because there's nothing to get angry about.

i knew that we were expecting a Herlock Sholmes to appear. when i realized that in japanese they just called him sherlock holmes like normal, i was ready to be annoyed at the change that must have been due to some copyright problem (how's the conan doyle estate? don't care). but i was eventually pleased to see that the character of herlock sholmes is annoying as fuck and the annoying stupid name suits him perfectly, so i have no complaint.

i noticed that much of the english translation is in british english (though i feel like there might be some inconsistencies?) and that's a nice touch, i think. make us dumbass yanks read "defence" and "manoeuvring" and the like and we can't object because the game takes place in england. and the japanese characters are speaking english. the difficulty level of english they're speaking is very high. if they are speaking an accordingly high level of japanese in the original text, i bet it would be super difficult for me to read. i haven't read the original japanese whatsoever in any ace attorney games, but i get the strong impression that the localization team for this game has done an excellent job translating. a lot of the text does not feel translated at all, and you read it without it being obvious that it has been paraphrased by necessity. if that makes sense.

we met van zieks and he didn't seem to leave a strong antagonistic impression the way some prosecutors have. like for comparison, in the early games i remember being so pissed at edgeworth that it took me a long time to let him into my heart as a sympathetic character. he was such a strong antagonist in the courtroom that i could not let go of the feeling that he was going to be a thorn in my side. even auchi left a stronger impression of antagonism than van zieks because he just wouldn't shut the fuck up in the first trial. but van zieks didn't put up that much of a fight, did he? so it was a bit of a weak comeback after 5 years, wasn't it? and the defendant got a not guilty verdict by some incomprehensible technicality. it was a little bit pathetic. van zieks's animations and gestures were fantastic, though. i wanted to see the various white parts of his outfit get stained with red wine. i'm very interested to learn more about him. at this point, right after the third chapter, knowing what little we know about van zieks, i suspect that his backstory is sad. but maybe he'll put up more of a fight in the mean time before we get to learning about his character more personally.

i LOVE the way susato raises her eyebrows with pity and looks at you like you're the biggest fucking idiot in the world. she's the best.

all the ace attorney games up to apollo justice, i've played at least twice, maybe three times. it was fun, but looking back, that kind of game also presses some of my buttons that makes me remember it as something of a vexing struggle that we're glad is now over. like all these problems cropped up one after another and we solved them and now it's all set. so going back and replaying those games feels like it would be revisiting problems i've already solved and don't need to solve again (and it would also be extra vexing because i'll know i've solved them before but i won't remember exactly how to do it). so even though i do look back on ace attorney games fondly, i don't know if i want to replay them. (including this game when i'm done with it). even though there were some really really good moments that i might like to experience again. maybe i'll watch playthroughs or something.

i think van zieks isn't as satisfying an opponent as edgeworth partly because of the jury setup; it's like he and i have a common enemy, and that is the idiot jurors, so there isn't such an exciting animus between us, and something is lost. i also think the wine thing really isn't that funny the 10th time. and so far, he hasn't made the kind of really desperate, truly vexed face i want to see… it's like he's not really that invested. i want to see him come closer to fully losing his cool. he's too composed… i don't know. maybe he'll lose it later on. but that's two trials now. [note added in later: he did finally make some truly deranged poses at the very end of the second game. it was pretty satisfying to see his shoulders heaving with desperation.]

TANGENT: out of curiosity i started reading "i am a cat" by our unfortunate character and real life person Natsume Soseki, and i'm very tickled by it so far. i can really feel the love and skill that went into the translation as well; the formal wording they use is so consistently funny. this is truly the self-important and blithely curious viewpoint of a cat. given the complexity of the english vocabulary used, i bet the japanese is crazy difficult. but i certainly like it a lot better than a lot of what i had to read in school. (i heard it is a book often assigned to schoolchildren in japan.) it's also interesting how they sort of half-localized it, translating main character names so we get the puns but leaving place names and some characters' names untranslated? i wonder about that. (the version i'm reading is the 1972 translation by aiko ito and graeme wilson.) i also notice the story takes place during the russo-japanese war, a time period i am slightly familiar with from golden kamuy. the late meiji era. it seems like i'm in a late meiji era spectacular with these three works of fiction lately.

i bet the sequences with herlock's deductions are polarizing among players. if you're impatient, i bet they're excruciating. but i enjoy them well enough. herlock is such a reigen. he's such a dipshit. he's more of a dipshit than reigen.

overall i think the use of motion capture for the character models really adds something special. i appreciate that they went all-out with it and didn't stick only to Plausible posing. that being said, i don't think it hits the mark 100% of the time. (like some of natsume soseki's movements, for example...) plus there's the inherent uncanny contradiction of "moving smoothly between poses (human-like)" and "otherwise maintaining static poses (less human-like)," if that makes sense. like they don't have idle animations. i guess it's not a big deal. i also wonder if the use of 3d models made the animators less inclined to go wild with the faces. i think some of the faces should've gone a little wilder maybe? like if van zieks's eyes got much wider when he was upset or something? hard to pinpoint what i'm longing for.

windibank's little habit with the gun was not fucking cute or funny at all. what were they thinking. honestly.

i laid in my bed for 11 hours and played ace attorney until it wasn't fun anymore. i like that there is the story mode option for when you're stuck and you can't even be bothered to google the solution. i don't give even half a shit about the stupid achievements they have added in to the game. achievements are worthless and meaningless when it's a linear visual novel. especially on the nintendo switch. so even though i feel slightly miffed with myself on some level for using the autoplay option when it means that you get no achievements for that section… on a logical level, i don't care and am in fact more miffed by the fact that there are achievements at all. because that's dumb.

so there's gonna be some dramatic personal history reason why van zieks is racist against japanese people… ok

the more i look at ryunosuke, the more it sinks in… this isn't a word i use lightly, but the only word that can describe him… is "cutie." of course he strongly resembles phoenix wright, but phoenix was never this much of a cutie. ryunosuke is the one who is a cutie. he is just as much of a cutie as apollo justice. or almost.

i just wish van zieks's white gloves would turn red when he crushes the chalice of red wine in his hand. is that too much to ask?

(plays a lot more without writing any notes)

(i hated myself for wasting my saturday playing ace attorney in bed for 11 hours, but i did the same thing the next week.)

kazuma reappears in a cute and sexy new white outfit, obviously a foil to ryunosuke's all black outfit, and with a red splash-of-blood cravat at his neck to show that he died once. but the important part is the very large and unmistakable strap-on harness at his crotch. please tell me there's fanart where he straps the appropriate implement to the front of that thing.

i'm glad gregson turned out to be a bad guy. or, you know, grey area. when he showed up i was like, "are we supposed to like this guy? i can't tell… certainly he's not the gumshoe of this game… they wouldn't give him an annoying habit like constantly eating fish and chips if he was intended to be the gumshoe of this game… right…?" though i'll say that every time he showed up, i was well and truly struck with a VERY powerful craving for potato wedges. oh my god. i can practically taste them. fried fish i don't have such strong feelings about but oh my god. i need to get potato wedges soon. with the skin on. what was i talking about? gregson is not very likeable. i do appreciate the audacious character design of choosing not to endow the man with a chin.

what is the connotation of unicorns in japan? what about in britain? because as far as i know, to americans like me, the connotation is maaaybe "mystical magical legendary forest gracefulness" but primarily "little-girliness and silliness and like rainbows and sunshine cutesiness." so when stronghart appeared behind the bench and his usual walking stick had turned into a unicorn apropos of nothing??? and he bangs it like a gavel even though it doesn't have any surfaces that look good for banging on and he's gonna poke holes into the gaveling block??? and neither he nor anyone else comments on it, ever??? it was more baffling than anything. like, first of all, does this fit his motif, stylistically or symbolically? what message were they trying to send with the unicorn? and why is it suddenly a unicorn now that he's acting as the judge? why couldn't it have been a unicorn the whole time and then the joke is that he bangs his usual walking stick instead of a gavel? why didn't he use his usual walking stick? why is the joke instead that he put away his old walking stick, brought out his fancy unicorn walking stick, and used that as a gavel? just incomprehensible. (also was this guy's japanese name really "Hurt Vortex"? fantastic. that's awe-inspiring. ok to be fair you could have transliterated it as "Hart" instead and then it would actually be a plausible given name. if the localization team was hardcore they could've tried to make "vortex" work by approaching it from a dutch "voort" kind of angle. maybe.)

speaking of gavels, when jigoku was on the witness stand, i was really expecting him to bring out his own gavel. i know he had it in his pocket. he had it in his pocket when we last saw him. it would've been some very welcome comic relief if he had brought out his own gavel and banged it a little.

for years i went to court-records.net to get my explanations of ace attorney character name puns, but it seems they haven't updated it with names from great ace attorney resolve… the people running the site must have lost their thunder… i certainly don't have enough ace attorney thunder to go help them with their website. i guess i'll go to the reprehensible fandom wikia. (grits teeth) it's… very comprehensive and helpful... i looked up a lot of the japanese names of the characters and some of the puns are pretty weak. makes me feel better about some of the weaker localization puns. sometimes there's only so much you can do.

you can tell by the way the characters use both -san/-sama and Mr./Miss that they are frequently flipping back and forth between english and japanese. some hardcore person should put together a hack of these games in which they're speaking japanese for every line that they're speaking in japanese in canon and english for every line that they're speaking english. you'll have to come up with some creative solution for the names.

i have finished playing. i enjoyed the game (i.e., the duology of both games) but it didn't blow me out of the water. i would recommend it to someone who already likes visual novels and ace attorney games, and i will tentatively categorize it as "worth playing" if you already suspect that you might like it. but i won't replay it. i think the motion capture character animation was, on the whole, really funny and totally worth it. even just shamspeare alone was worth it. but like i said, i think some of the faces should've deformed a little more sometimes to show greater emotion. all the outfits were fun. i have to say that in terms of old-timey london aesthetic and interacting with funny londony characters while solving mysteries, that itch has been VERY well scratched by the professor layton series, so this really didn't feel like anything especially new or worthwhile in that respect. i wonder if the game's scenario wouldn't have been more fun if they had stayed in late meiji era japan. and i don't feel one way or another about how *erlock *olmes was involved in the story, but it's worth pointing out that in western culture, he is a pretty played out and tired character, completely lacking any kind of intriguing freshness. even reinventing him as a total reigen can't cleanse him of that tired feeling, in my view. though of course in the end you can't help but love him a little. and his excessively stylized trenchcoat was magnificent.

i guess it was interesting to play a game that starkly highlights the similarities and differences between victorian london and late meiji japan, with characters often butting heads between the two cultures, as someone who is part of neither culture (but who is a native speaker of one of the languages). though during my golden kamuy fixation i did spend a lot of time in the same era of japanese history. and as an english speaker in america, i've absorbed my fair share of cultural and historical information about victorian london. so i was a bit familiar with both cultures. but i guess my point is… they couldn't come up with a more fun or interesting flaw for van zieks than having him be racist against japanese people? i dunno. in conclusion, the culture shock element of the story was necessary but not very striking to me. it didn't leave a strong impression. and it's also worth noting that despite the characters constantly extolling their respective countries, looking back in history, no one nowadays really likes that both great britain and japan were Empires at that time… like, you know… imperialism turned out bad for a lot of people… it's actually quite a bad thing that they had in common.

it seems the last ace attorney game i haven't played yet is Spirit of Justice. i haven't decided whether i want to buy it. it feels like i've been out of touch with phoenix and apollo for a decade and i'd have to catch up again before i could play another game that features them. hmm...

well, what matters now is that i can finally look at some great ace attorney fanart.

#this goes on my anime/manga blog bc the work is originally in japanese. #the great ace attorney spoilers #dgs spoilers

ive been groaning at aa spirit of justice's extremely over the top on the nose character names but i also just remembered tgaa runs around with a curio collector named. kyurio korekuta. so. maybe im being too harsh AHAHA

#bri talks #also no tgaa spoilerz pls me and vio r gonna play that one after we finish soj teehee #i played some of it when it came out on switch but i havent played it again since then #im tryingggg so hard to give this game credit where its due i dont want to take EVERYTHING soj does in bad faith but #sometimes it drives me kind of insane is the thang #positives: the game's actual presentation is really good. the models (except phoenix and apollo...) look good! #its more cinematic than dd and i like that. tgaa seems to take that step even further which is good! looking forward to that #negatives: the magical turnabout makes me want to set something on fire #also nahyuta has said maybe 3 funny things total and im gonna need him to step it tf up pretty soon because right now im just sick of him

just started the great ace attorney chronicles and i just met my first witnesses… “iyesa nosa” the solider, and “kyurio korekuta” the antiquities dealer…

…or, more accurately, “yes sir, no sir” and “curio collector”

and let’s not forget…the ancestor of prosecutor payne is named “owchie”

that’s what we call Excellent Localization :3c

To celebrate one year since The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, my friends and I decided to replay case 1 and voice the characters.

here’s the list of voices we ended up doing

Ryunosuke - Yellow guy Kazuma - Notepad Auchi - Duck Judge Jigoku - Red guy Isa Nosa - Meat guy Kurio Korekuta - Bee Hosonaga - literally just hosonaga

it was chaotic to say the least
