>>2281945>>2281944Agree with both of these hardcore, AA is actually my favorite game in the series. As much as I like Phoenix, seeing him in a sort of fall from grace was very, very interesting. People keep forgetting that this was what the original writer Shu Takumi wanted and every game after this one aside from Layton vs hasn't been written by him and probably hasn't been the way he wants the characters' story arcs to go. He clearly felt Phoenix's story was over and wanted to bring in someone new.
I will always be super bitter about how many unanswered questions there were with AA as well. The biggest one of course is the black psyche locks but besides that, Apollo's an orphan. Did Kristoph just pick him up from the orphanage and train him? How traumatizing can it possibly be to have your first case as a greenhorn lawyer and end up putting your mentor and possible father figure on death row because you followed the direction of a personal hero and he ended up giving you evidence that was technically false?
So much good shit. Squandered. I loved DD and thought it was really well done but they threw away so much character development and I want. More. Apollo. Justice. Seriously, they even had him act like Kristoph for one of the cases in Dual Destinies but just as a motif, they didn't even dig any deeper into it than that.
Sorry for no pic but I'm drawing one for later. Ugh. So much more I could say, but yeah, why the fuck do people hate that game so much? Shit taste.
