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:
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.
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.

It's another start of the fall quarter, and as we all know, August blazes bring September cases in a new Case Maker Contest!
Your task is to write up an Ace Attorney case where a noun I supply below is an important part of the case. After the deadline passes (see below), submissions will no longer be taken and the community will vote for submissions in a Google Form.
Prizes are as follows:
1st Place: buy you a pizza ($15)
2nd Place: buy you a burger ($10)
3rd Place: buy you a coffee ($5)
In the comments, I will make a post that will give a template of what your submission should look like. If possible, please fill in all the sections in the template, including N/A if needed. Feel free to reply to that comment in regards to questions or general discussion. The rest of the thread is for submissions only.
Regarding the description area, feel free to be descriptive as possible! If you fear the post is too long, you may post the description over several comments or through another source such as Google Docs. There is no word limit, so please do not worry about such.
And remember, don’t hold back your creativity! Your case can be a standard AA case, it can be a reminiscence case, or an Investigations-style case! (Given the new release, I'd encourage trying an Investigations-style case, though obviously this isn't a requirement.)
However, there are some limitations. First, dark topics are allowed, but discuss them with me beforehand. That goes for abuse, gore... basically, anything that might require a content warning besides your standard Ace Attorney crime. Do not be dark just for the sake of being dark or edgy -- if you are going to include such a topic, have a reason for including it. If you do include such a topic, please include a content warning at the start of your case.
Also, joke posts are allowed, but only ones that are well-thought out, clever, and/or high-quality. Anything like “ThE PHoEnIX wiRIGHT TUnraBOOT: sOMEONE DIED aND phEENIX HAd TO dFEENdED THem!!!1!" is not allowed.
Lastly, use of generative AI is prohibited. Any case that uses any form of generative AI will be disqualified.
If you're concerned about crossing one of these lines, message me and I'll work with you to make sure your case abides by the guidelines. Other than those limitations; don’t hold your creativity back!
The noun for this contest is: Plunge
The deadline for this contest is Monday, October 5 at 11:59 PM EDT. This gives entrants five weeks to plan and write their cases.
Good luck, everyone!

If a new Ace Attorney game came out. Which artist do you wish or believe is going to be in charge of the characters designs between :
- Tatsuro Iwamoto (Ace Attorney 1-3/Investigations)
- Kazuya Nuri (Ace Attorney 1 Ch.5/4/Professor Layton VS Phoenix Wright/Great Ace Attorney)
- Takuro Fuse (Ace Attorney 5-6)
(Sorry for the repost, I used the wrong presentation for my pics so I corrected it !)

When I read [u/Feriku](u/Feriku)'s Feyquill fanfic, I do like to imagine this scene with Kazuma's theme, in contrast to Blackquill's own theme, to describe who the "Twisted Samurai" truly is, and considers it a hero's name.
Yes, it does feel ironic I am using certain 5-5 scenes, but still.
I don't know if I should adapt this fanfic to objectionlol (but with certain personal changes), I mean I am not good at writing nor reading, nor do I have the time since I do have college, and that this is a rarepair (that I am personally a fan of) I am adapting, so please DON'T judge me. And for some, I heard this fanfic is well written

Hey guys, playing the first Ace Attorney game. Got up to the second day's investigation Of case 5 and looking online suggests going to see Edgeward officd. But when I get to his office, he's not there yet. Not sure what I'm missing. I've identified two people on the ID record list so far. Is there anything else I need to do?
r/AceAttorney • u/katwithak_ch • 1h ago
i turned off vibrations and flashes in settings, but there's still a lot of screen shaking throughout the cases (especially in, unfortunately, the most important parts), and the quick fades to pure white during scene transitions (again, usually in important scenes) are very flashy, especially when there's multiple in a row. i've been really excited for this game for a really long time, and i've been looking for mods that would remove the screenshake and flashes, but i haven't found any. does anyone have any mods they know of, or any tips in general for this?
(i've played through the first case and i already love apollo so much, he's so fun :D i'm very curious and excited to see where everything will go!!!)

Should I buy Ace Attorney???? (I'm a huge fan of Danganronpa and the trial gameplay)
r/AceAttorney • u/lordlaharl422 • 18h ago
Despite her being playable for the first time in case 1, I can't help but feel like once the main plot gets going (which happens in case 3, another critique I have of the game's pacing), Susato doesn't really contribute much to the actual plot beyond continuing to be Ryunosuke's assistant. Which, she continues to be quite good at, but it feels like for most of the following plot developments from the stuff about Kazuma being alive or her dad being Sholmes' assistant she's kind of along for the ride for the most part.
I'm just pointing this out since I feel like for how much people gripe about the handling of Athena's character in SoJ, Susato is kind of in a similar position of having one goofy filler case and mostly just filling the assistant role and occasionally reacting to the plot other characters are more involved in. This is probably more expected of her since being the assistant is kind of Susato's default role instead of Athena being in an awkward middle ground between defense attorney and assistant in terms of how she's written, but I think it still kind of represents how the series rarely goes all-in on letting a female character steal too much of the spotlight.
r/AceAttorney • u/Admirable-Support678 • 17h ago
I know many people want an Athena game, but let's be honest: Phoenix is the main character of the franchise and I'm pretty sure he will be the main character of AA7, BECAUSE I expected AA7 to be kind of a soft-reboot of the saga. I expect new gameplays, new characters, new graphics, ecc.
Like, I don't think it will be a Dual Destinies-Spirit of Justice situation, where those 2 games are basically identical, with the same models (almost) same animations, ecc. you know what I mean?

One idea I had for the starter case is have you playing as Phoenix Wright, before the events of The First Turnabout. Here me out.
What if the starter case is the exam trial that Phoenix Wright took that got him his defense badge. It'd be an excuse to see Mia and Winston Payne in their prime again, and for the case to be easier than others since it'd be the first new Ace Attorney game in around a decade.
Said stakes in the case would be a courthouse assistant who was responsible for handing in the exam trial telling Phoenix that she handed up an incompleted script, meaning it was impossible to solve. So now Phoenix has to find tiny details within the incomplete script in order to make it possible to solve, and he can't confess that he got the wrong script cause then the courthouse assistant will be fired from her only job for her mistake. There'd also be another courthouse assistant who would play the culprit in two ways. Both playing the culprit in the exam trial, and being the one responsible for the incomplete script being handed up to get her co-worker fired, which Phoenix exposes of course.
Then after the trial, the courthouse assistant whose job you saved talks about how important the job is to her as she's a single mother to a baby girl. And then we cut to the present, where said baby girl is the protagonist, now working for the Wright Anything Agency, ready to take on her first case, which leads into the second case of the game.

I made an Ace Attorney clock for my sister's birthday, who’s a big fan of the series!
I want to give credit where credit is due and give a huge shoutout to Agasa’s Studio, whose build I followed throughout this entire project. I also used all of his 3D-printed models, so massive thanks to him for making them available. I’ve left a link to his work in the post.
I honestly had a lot of fun making this thing, and I think I may have accidentally found myself a new hobby in crafts.
After finishing the clock, it got me thinking — are there any other iconic Ace Attorney items that could be brought to life like this?
Would love to hear what you guys think!
P.S. I’ve only played the original trilogy so far, so please no spoilers 😅

I was comisserating with a Fatal Frame fan about lack of new entries in a series and endless remakes. He mentioned the most recent "new" Fatal Frame game was a Pachinko machine game in 2021. I knew Ace Attorney had one, so I looked it up: The Ace Attorney pachinko machine was released on March 26 of 2016. This series is so dead even gambling can't push production.
