Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney 3: Trials and Tribulations

[meteordust]

Everyone kept telling me how fantastic Phoenix Wright 3 was, how it tied all the storylines together, how it brought the series to a satisfying conclusion.

And they were right.

I love it when the threads of past and present meet. I love it when the actions of the old generation have consequences that reverberate onto the new generation. The interconnectedness of the storylines from all the games reminds me a bit of Lost. Not on the same scale as six seasons, but three games is still a fair amount of canon to weave together.


Things that were awesome:

* Phoenix as the naive young college student, believing in people with all his heart. And Mia fighting to prove his innocence.

* Mia in her first case, against Edgeworth. And its heartbreaking consequences.

* Phoenix running across the burning bridge to save Maya. A Big Damn Hero moment.

* Edgeworth taking over as defence attorney! Especially his hilarious internal commentary.

* Fransziska returning to help out. I love when adversaries become allies. Even when they follow you around making snide comments.

* Godot and Fransziska meeting.

* Mia. Because she is awesome.


Things that were perplexing:

* The need to change a cultural reference from curry to gravy. WTF? Do they not have curry in America?


Thank you, leenabeans, for lending me these games. They were brilliant fun, and I appreciate it very much.

PS Fic recs, anyone?
