So the GAA topic doesn't devolve into a series ranking

AAI2 is extremely overrated and only slightly better than the first AAI

Agreed. The Grand Turnabout goes on for like 3 hours too long.

It's tempting to linger in this moment, while every possibility still exists. But unless collapsed by an observer, they will never be more than possibilities.

Most of the worst cases are the ones that heavily involve spirit channeling

This includes 3-5

It isnt actually that good. Other games that have come along since have done it way better.

I played the first 5 games, and when I booted up the 6th one I realized I wasnt really that interested

Dual Destinies is the second best game in the series, every case (except the intro case) is above average

Spirit channeling isn't that bad

2-3 isn't that bad either

E1-4 is an overrated case and features a version of Edgeworth that shouldn't exist

4-3 is a great case

6-4 is a great case

AA2 is every bit as good as its partners in the trilogy and everyone overhates it because of the misunderstood 2-3

AAI1 is an okay game, it's not that bad, E1-5 is a really good finale

Wendy Oldbag is a top tier character

6-4 made Athena look like an incompetent idiot and may as well have reversed all of her character growth from PW5, and it had a terrible defendant. Yeah, 6-4 is bad.

3-3 is skirting the bottom tier of cases in the series for me. It remains Blade's pick for worst case in the entire series.

Yeah, I don't get this take. Phoenix and Apollo still looked like incompetent idiots in their second cases, too, and nobody says their character development is irrelevant.

New hot take: 4-3 is the only good case in AA4

It's the only case that makes me verbally frustrated when I play it because the case against Machi has zero merit and somehow Apollo is utterly incapable of pointing this out the entire time (see, Apollo is incompetent beyond his second case, too!).

While I can respect what they tried to do, 4-3 is just... There's too much "augh just make it stop" involved.

4-1 is in contention with 3-1 for best first case in the series. It's all downhill from there.

Apollo's only incompetent for parts of 4-3, for the rest of it he pops off

4-3's good because it's the only case in AA4 where Apollo has any kind of agency or reason to care about the murder, he's beside the point in every other case

Agree with this take for the most part

I found it exciting the very first time I played the game, before I knew the rest of AA4 was bad, but now I replay it and I'm just like, ok, whatever. it's not terrible but it's one of the few cases I think is 'overrated'

Eh, he's only good when he's facing Daryan because at that point they've stopped caring about proving anything about the actual murder. Klavier takes him to school whenever Daryan isn't around, despite the fact that Machi literally could not have done anything in the case besides escape through the vent.

Trucy refusing to help Apollo with the magic trick is dumb, too. Thankfully 6-2 realized how bad this was and had her make up for it.

AAI2 is the worst game in the series. Every case is twice as long as it should be.

Rating cases based on how good they are on replays is a bad metric.

Yep. Agree here. Except for the moments of "Peanut gallery chimes in at just the right time with decisive evidence", it's a well built case against a brick wall of a final opponent that makes you seriously work for it and I enjoy the takedown.

In contrast, AAI2's final case has some decent buildup for much of it, but it has two issues. The primary Little Thief section runs far too long, and the "final battle" feels really limp compared to the first game and it sours it a lot. It's easy, it's quick, and the primary villain lacks the presence and raw feeling of "menace" of a final boss. The primary villain of the previous case feels more more like a "final boss" than he does. Also, "Lion Balloon" is the correct answer like half the time.

E1-5's problem is that the climax is the showdown with Calisto Yew, and then the case goes on for a few more hours. Alba is a good opponent in a technical sense, but he didn't "earn" a battle of that length. I had no reason to care about him (positively or negatively) before he was revealed as the big bad.

E2-5's problem is the entire first half of the case. The Little Thief section and the showdown with the final boss are great.

The final showdown in E2-5 might have been my biggest disappointment in the entire series. I mean it wasn't terrible, but it paled in comparison to both the previous case and the previous game's final case.

Everything in AAI2 pales compared to E2-3, that's the one top ten worthy case from that game (and is probably the best non-epic case in the series)

1-3 is a top ten caliber case

Lotta Hart is a good witness

Phoenix/Iris should be canon

Any case that doesn't feature the Judge or the Judge's Brother is lesser for it because all other judges are boring

Kay is probably the worst assistant in the series and is only effective as a damsel in distress because she doesn't have good chemistry with Edgeworth

The third case in Layton/Ace Attorney is a top tier case

6-1 is the second best case in AA6 - not because it's great, but because all the other non-6-5 cases are weak.

As a corollary to that, Nahyuta is the worst character in the series.
