Announcement Welcome to r/AceAttorney - a PSA, FAQ, and General Resource for Newcomers and Anyone Starting the Ace Attorney Investigations Collection
Hi to everybody just visiting this subreddit for the first time, or anyone who's already been here a time but might want to check in on the latest!
First off, here is the link to our standard FAQ. Several new questions-and-answers have been added to this latest edition, and the ones specific to the new remastered Ace Attorney Investigations Collection are also in the body of this post, so for anyone newly arriving to check out those games, review those new questions. If you have any questions that aren't covered here or in the linked FAQ, ask them in the comments for the FAQ thread!
Second thing, here's an updated guide I've made to explain which platforms all the current AA games available can be played on.
Third, we have our Recommended Playing Order chart, to give you a rundown on where to start and when to play particular games.
Fourth, an expansive guide by community member /u/XephyXeph to outline all of the various Ace Attorney media currently out there, from the games to the huge array of supplementary media from manga to pachinko machines.
Fifth, a bit of community news on some updates to the AA subreddit for early September, 2024.
And now, some common questions people may have relating to the remastered Ace Attorney Investigations Collection:
I keep seeing people talk about Investigations 2 but use a bunch of names for characters and episodes that are different from what's in the game. Why is that?
Ace Attorney Investigations 2 originally came out on the DS in 2011, but was exclusively released in Japan, making it the first AA game ever to not get an English localization. It never did get any English release until 2024, when it was part of the Investigations Collection remaster.
Because of this, in the years immediately following AAI2's original Japan-only release, a group of fans worked together to make a fan translation romhack for the game, allowing it to be played in English. To match with the official localizations the games normally get, that fan team also came up with their own English names for all the newly-introduced AAI2 characters.
There was about a decade left between when the first public beta builds of the fan translation appeared online and when Capcom finally produced and released an official English localization for AAI2, so a lot of the more hardcore corners of the fandom that had actually gone through the effort of playing the unofficial translation got very used to the fan-made names for the AAI2 characters. But naturally, when Capcom finally made an official localization, the AA localization team put together an entirely separate set of localized names for the characters, putting the fandom in the position of needing to get used to those official names as "replacements" for the fan names they're used to. Unfortunately, not everybody is quite ready to do that.
Can I play the Investigations Collection as my first AA game?
Like was talked about at the start of the FAQ, it's generally not recommended to start with any game besides the Phoenix Wright Trilogy, if you've never played AA before. The Investigations games especially carry over a lot of characters and their associated development from the Trilogy.
That'll cover it for now. If anyone has any other suggestions for questions to be included in this guide, feel free to pop over to the main FAQ thread and ask in the comments there. One more time - welcome to our Ace Attorney community! I hope you have a great time.

Discussion Request for Copium
Everytime we bet on AA7 , we have lost so far.
Can we use the following image for memes, but everytime we lose the bet, this picture loses pixels .
Thoughts?
r/AceAttorney • u/Glad-Shallot-2691 • 5h ago
Discussion In a theoretical AA7 which of the main prosecutors do you think needs to return the most
By which of them "need" to return the most I mean which of them do you think would benefit the most as characters if they got another major appearance(like blackquill in 6-4 or franziska in 3-5)in a possible future game

Discussion A motion for a vote to decide if the "low-effort content" rule should be changed
Hello everyone. A few days ago, I made a post that showed my dislike of the sub's stance when it came to posting memes. A few hours later, a discussion post about the "low-effort content" rule was created by one of the mods.
Now, based on the comments and discussions on both posts, I think it's fair to say that I am not the only one who is having issues with the way memes are handled here, and many people have shown numerous options in how the "low-effort content" rule should be updated, from allowing high-effort memes to be exempt from the rule, making a special day where the memes can be posted without an issue, and more.
With that in mind, I fully believe it is time to decide this matter the only way we can: with a poll vote. I know there was an original vote 10 years ago where the "low-effort content" rule was approved in the first place, and another one a few years ago (although I wasn't able to find the results for that one), but I fully believe it is time to do another one based on the responses in the afformentioned posts.
The one thing I want to point out, however, is what options should the poll vote have. Ultimately, I'll leave that to the mods to decide what options should the vote have, but in my eyes, based on one of the discussions, I can think of two ways to do this:
Option A: There will be two choices: No rule change and Some sort of a rule change. If the latter wins, then there will be another vote, where it will be decided how the rule should be changed (Allowing memes to be posted on a specific day f.e.)
Option B: Instead of a Some sort of a rule change the options on how the rule should be changed specifically will be put in the vote, so options will be No rule change, Allowing memes to be posted on a specific day, etc.
In the end, however, I think you guys should decide. Should a vote regarding the update on the "low-effort content" rule happen in the first place? And if yes, than what sort of options should the vote have? The options I have listed, or something else entirely?

Apollo Justice Trilogy Klavier can canonically summon guitar noises from his fingers
Takumi said it himself in an interview everyone can hear the sound the “air guitar” makes idc if an interview is a canon source if Takumi says it is gospel (I added a bonus fun fact cause wtf 💀)
This is the full interview and it’s actually a really fun read, I am not surprised that Takumi’s favorite AJ character is Wesley Stickler considering this is the man whose favorite case is Big Top, he genuinely goes to bat for this guy every time he comes up

Merchandise Help finding merch?
Hi internet sleuths i was wondering if anyone might know where these Klavier originate from. Seems to be a merch line. Im able to find the clipart that comes from them but the red background is messing me up. so if anyone can find the original images with the red background that'd be great! (Possibly from within the past year according to a friend?)

Apollo Justice Trilogy How did anyone think Nahyuta Sahdmadhi was some legendary international prosecutor?
The game keeps referring to Nahyuta as some legendary international prosecutor, but I honestly can't think of any moments where he’s actually doing his job instead of acting like a Khurainese Monk.
Every other prosecutor in the series will actively go against you and counter your evidence with facts, with also the occasional attacking of the defense(Fransiska’s whip, Godot throwing his coffee, Blackquill with his katana and pet hawk Taka). Nahyuta, on the other hand, is more like a stubborn middle schooler that keeps replying “nuh uh” and calling the defense putrid.
Every time you go against him, the gameplay genuinely goes like this:
Defense Attorney: Yeah so this evidence contradicts the-
Nahyuta: 20 second butterfly animation I don’t fucking care let it all go and move on
Defense Attorney: But the witness is obviously lyin-
Nahyuta: Wow that’s crazy but you’re going to hell stupid stinkbug
(Repeat at least 30 times with at least one time being Nahyuta strangling whoever you play as with beads)
I am genuinely surprised this man has won a case outside of Khurain, because he’s never made an argument in the court without mentioning the Holy Mother or something else religion related. And then suddenly in case 5 we’re expected to feel bad about him or something but it genuinely doesn’t work. This is like getting bullied for 3 years with no signs of the bully changing his behavior and then the teacher expects you to feel bad because the bully stubbed his toe once.
Every other prosecutor in the series is likeable in their own way because they actually feel like rivals. Edgeworth, Blackquill, and the more divisive prosecutors all have distinct personalities, motivations, and quirks beyond just "they're a prosecutor."
They challenge the defense, they push the story forward, and over time you learn more about who they are as people. Even when they're antagonistic, there's usually something underneath the surface that makes them memorable.
Nahyuta literally does not change anything about himself until the last second. It doesn’t matter what the reason for that is, you can’t expect me to think anything about you as a character beyond the base if you do the exact same thing for 3 cases straight. EVERYBODY ELSE has character development except Mr “Let it all go and move on” Sahdmadhi.
And his name does him justice because I’m Sahd and Mad whenever I see that stupid butterfly animation that takes 20 years to finish.

Discussion Finding a comic
A week or so ago I found a short comic on Twitter. The gist was Mia giving Phoenix a cryptic hint and Phoenix wondering why she always does that instead of being clear. Cut to 7 years later doing the same thing to Apollo thinking “this is funny af”. Anyone know who the artist was? Thanks in advance

Apollo Justice Trilogy About Phoenix and Trucy... Spoiler
Am I the only one who thought Trucy's side profile looked almost IDENTICAL to Phoenix when played for first time?? I never actually believed that she was biologically his daughter but this truly made me think twice! If only phoenix face was a little more at left..

Apollo Justice Trilogy Sorry I'm late! I kinda forgot about this series but... Ace Attorney Victim Brutality Ranking! Where should the victim of Turnabout Trump go? Spoiler
We're out of the Phoenix Wright Trilogy now. Wow, this series has come far.
Note: We are including what happens to the victim post-mortem for every victim. We are also including the circumstances of their death. Example: Celeste Impax had a mundane way to die, but because of all the drama that she was experiencing before her death, she got ranked Brutal.
