It's wild to finally be able to play these. I want to replay TWEWY before I get to Neo too though, so I guess I'm gonna be switching carts a lot these next few weeks. I went for Switch cause it'd feel wrong for me to play AA anywhere else...

They're very Ghost Trick in their presentation, I like it.
I was going to buy the game just now, but GMG says out of stock when I try to buy it.
The text beeping is driving my crazy, it's way too loud. And they don't let you turn it down, all you can do is turn off all sound effects including the beeps and everything else.
Just finished the first case.
This is FANTASTIC.
No great gameplay innovations, but the setting, story and localisation absolutely makes it work.

I'm honestly shocked by how well they have captured the Late Victorian/Meiji era.
They just absolutely nailed it - the world geopolitics, the influence of Britain, the racism, the Meiji modernisation, the dress sense, the militarisation of Japan… it's really quite spectacular.
I can see why Capcom is so proud of it.

Yeah, finished the first case just now and came to post something like this. It was a fun case, but very much like any other first case in the series, just like twice as long for some reason. I hope this won't be too indicative of the pacing for the rest of the game(s).
I played just under an hour and my first impressions are very positive. I'm really liking the setting and music, and it's a nice change of pace from the modern games. I also like how there's an autoplay and log to see what was said.
It's a bit annoying yeah. I turned on text skip in the options. This lets you press B so that the dialogue fills in the text box without scrolling. If you accidentally press B twice as I did on one occasion, you can just view the history to see what you missed. Try that to see if you like it better.

1-1:
Kazuma was there at the restaurant? Modern American ethical rules forbid someone from acting as a lawyer in a trial where they are likely to be a witness in most circumstances, but I don't know whether this principle would have existed in 19th-century Japan.

Kazuma didn't witness anything. He left the restaurant before the crime happened.
If you're planning to apply real-life legal guidelines and restrictions to the world of Ace Attorney, you're going to need to set aside a lot of time haha
Oh, I figured he didn't see the shooting, but he still could have offered useful testimony about the purpose of the meeting, everyone's relative seating positions, that sort of thing.
I think I just need to make one complaint to get it out of my system.
hmm I was likely going to be a bit slow to getting around to playing the game anyway but...
:(
oh well, the cost of taking advantage of buy 2 get 1 free I suppose :P (this is target)
Same thing happened to me. Luckily I wasn't gonna touch this game until beating the original trilogy anyhow, but man, if I would've been pissed otherwise
I guess the Hotti/Hotta Clinic distinction is a result of localization, guess there wasn't a clean way to make that Easter egg work
What a bizarre thing to bring up
The motive for the murder being completely unknown is the first major mystery of the game. Considering how much preparation and somewhat personal knowledge about the victim was needed in order to pull off this murder shows planning and significant intent, yet there is no reason why she would do all that
Loving seeing the reactions so far and that they match what we thought too, especially about GAA1-1 dragging in the end. Makes me want to repost my meme posts =P
weirdly specific use case question, but: is there anyone playing this via remote play from Steam on an iPad or iPhone? i've been finishing the second trilogy with the iOS versions and love the big screen + touchscreen. i imagine it would be a similar if not exact experience via remote play.
Speaking as a lawyer lol don't even bother trying to tie reality to ace Attorney and tgaa in particular lol
I must say, I love how the story mode feature is implemented here. Thought I'd only enable it whenever I get stuck, but it's nice to be able to just watch the investigation parts play out too if you're not in the mood to play click-points-of-interest-in-order-until-you-trigger-a-story-flag.
Where do modern courts stand on the subject of spirit mediums? 😂
Almost through Case 1 I think, loving everything so far, particularly Ryunosoke's animations! The wimpy slam and shifty eyes have me in stitches 😂
The history button is awesome, just finished Layton VS AA, and it was sorely missed!
I was actually super tempted to do this myself, only to go for the Switch for the reason that the sleep mode is far more convenient on it. I'd say if someone can confirm that you can click anywhere to progress text then it should work fine?
This is gonna be my very first AA game. I tried one years (and years) ago, but remember shelving it out of early frustration. Not a massive VN fan, but this sounds like a great place to jump in on the series. Will give it a shot and am hopeful to be really surprised :)
Also, complete side note and unrelated: but I don't know why I always mix up these games and the Professor Layton games in my head, lol. I need to play one just to stop doing that.

I already knew the solution to one part of Case 1 because of this
They robbed me of my "Aha" moment :(
Thanks mate. Up until a few hours ago it was still saying the codes wouldn't be available until Saturday.
QUESTION: is there any way to skip ahead chapters? I recently played the first 3 chapters of #2 on the fan translation. Going to buy this for sure, but trying to gauge whether to wait until I have the patience to fast forward for hours or not.

Yes, there's chapter select with each case broken down into sections.

Started GAA1-2. Despite knowing it was an Investigation-only Episode, I still find it weird. It's also a bit slow, but the mystery is intriguing, and Sholmes is a great character!

Yes and yes. Those 2 games aren't required to follow GAA, though.
5 and 6 really drag. I wouldn't recommend them unless you are a die hard fan. Which you probably aren't if you haven't played them yet.
Damn! I thought Kazuma had the death flag over him but I was hoping I was wrong and we wouldn't get another Mia situation. I spent the whole first case being like wow, this best friend dynamic is new and refreshing! I hope it stays!
I'm sad now...
