It just dawned on me that the song Gumshoe riffs on in 3-5 is "No Woman, No Cry"

Part 2 is where the good stuff comes out to play. Of these, Polly takes it. I'm not terribly fond of Wright's theme, but there is an exception in Part 2.

Not a fan of AJ's music in general, but its Objection theme is aces.

Hot take: I don't like AA1's objection theme! I've never liked it much at all. I'm glad that they used AA3's objection theme for Phoenix in the later games, since it's better, and probably my favorite of this bunch although AJ's is good.

I highly recommend the crossover game. I dragged my heels on it for a console generation because the Layton games I played hardly impressed, but it's well integrated and arguably more Ace Attorney than Layton.

I thought about doing a poll or two for remixes. Might do that after all this is over for fun.

I honestly didn't remember JFA having such bad core music, but it's been the absolute bottom of my rankings like 4 days in a row.

Layton vs Wright is worth playing, it's better if you also like the Layton games but even if you don't I think the AA segments of the game are compelling enough on their own and it's a really slickly produced game (even if the 3D models aren't as good as the ones in DD/SOJ), and as you can see the soundtrack is really, *really* good

Yeah, I agree. I remember being really impressed with it when I replayed it a few years ago. I need to replay it again now that I've gotten some Layton games under my belt.

I feel like the soundtrack deserves more respect because it hasn't won a poll yet, but it's quite good.

The one track that stands out offhand from the crossover game is Courtroom Magician. I'm not sure what class of theme it is, but I think it's a pursuit theme.

Yeah, it's a Pursuit theme, and it unfortunately has no chance of winning that poll either!

Wait, no, I think I included it under the Suspense/Fate category. The game's Pursuit theme is pretty amazing though.

Well that's good since it isn't even the best pursuit theme in its own game

Edit: Which makes sense if it isn't actually a pursuit.

Funny thing is that for me, these poll series have lowered my opinions of both of these soundtracks. Well, I already wasn't a fan of AAI1, but I don't think I voted for anything in AA3 outside of Fragrance of Dark Coffee. On the flip side, I liked AA1 a lot more than I thought I did.

T&T and AAI1 are still king for me, but I do really like Layton/AA just because I'm a sucker for orchestral soundtracks (Mario Galaxy is my favorite Mario OST). If anything, these polls have made me realize I don't like the DD OST as much as I thought. Its very best stuff is still amazing, but it struggles in the "normal" stuff.

Oh right, the main reason I need to replay Layton/AA is to do line counts! I did time counts for it, but line counts seemed like a more daunting prospect because Layton games have so many more random nothing characters than AA games do.

But maybe the release of GAA will motivate me to finish everything off!

Fun fact, today I looked up how much copies of it are going for before I even saw this post... and it's up there with Ghost Trick in the $~150 range. At least I could get the digital version for $30, I guess.

Would actually be curious to see a poll between Apollo's AJ, AA5, and AA6 objection themes lol

The only reason I hesitate to vote for AJ here is because there are 2 other rockers just like it coming later anyway

The same for 3's theme since I view the new themes basically just an upgraded better version

Actually I think you never included it at all, and I totally forgot to nominate it for the 'misc' category.

AAI1 is my second-least favorite soundtrack lol

AA4 is my least favorite and I swear this isn't just to mirror my opinion of the games as well

Hmm...it's listed under the Fate/Suspense theme video, so I think I included it there, but I could be wrong.

T&T > AJ > AAI2 > Layton Labyrinthian > AAI1 > Layton English PW1 > JFA

I'm so glad DD and SOJ remixed T&T instead of PW1. PW1's is nice, but the T&T one has a better tune and just feels more victorious than PW1's.

I defend JFA's soundtrack more than most, but the Objection and the Pursuit is the weakest in the series for me. JFA's Objection almost sounds comical with those opening notes like "whooptee doo".

I thought for sure that The Courtroom's Magician was the "Tell the Truth" variant for PLvPW, but it looks like they have their own song literally titled "Tell the Truth." Whoops! Definitely should have been a pick for the best of the rest.

Okay, just checked Log for the Suspense/Fate topic and I indeed did not put Courtroom's Magician on there because it wasn't specifically listed as a Suspense theme, even though it kinda operates as one. Definitely an oversight on my part for the bonus poll because I thought for sure I had included it!
