Challenge #14
In your own space, create a promo and/or rec list for someone new to a fandom. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it and include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
AAAAHEM. I'M HERE I PROMISe
so here's the scoop. as an ace attorney fan... if i see someone else say they're a fan of ace attorney...
it definitely means "i love the trilogy!" and it often can mean "i love the tgaa duology!" and probably means "i love aa4/investigations!"
..........................
the ability for me to guess if someone has even *played* dd or soj, much less *enjoyed* them, is......
and it's possible that this is just a matter of taste, but given that the fandom's general vibe has been "don't even bother with aa5/6, they're not good" for as long as i've been in the fandom, somehow, it's hard to believe that ppl have even given it a SHOT!!
so my propaganda is for the game ace attorney 6; spirit of justice, and why you should give it an open-minded shot....!!!
(and aa5 dual destinies but to be honest i didn't play that one so runs away)
oftentimes people have said, "i was afraid to play it because people say it's so bad...! but then i got the aj trilogy/just was bored one day/etc and played it, and i loved it!" or, at the very least, felt the hate was unjustified.
if you ask me, i think a lot of the hate comes from ill-conceived Takumi Loyalty... or just a general annoyance that they expected the game to be more of something when it wasn't going to be That Thing.
but most aa games are stand-alone, right?! plenty of ppl have played jfa or t&t without playing the first game.
so, to me, it's fine that soj doesn't build off of past stories...
it's fine that soj, frankly, has flaws- because the entire series has flaws LOL
it's fine!!! soj still has a lot to offer!!
Ah but this is too defensive.. okay... really... my favorite thing about soj... is the REVOLUTIONARIES!!!!!!!!!!!!
which is very CLOSE TO HOME in CURRENT YEAR. do you know HOW refreshing it is to enjoy a story where
the revolutionaries aren't seen as evil extremists?!
or, they are, but it's blatant propaganda and the state is the one in the wrong?!
i'm realizing it's hard to talk about soj without spoilers, huh. LOL
ok. well. What about nahyuta huh?! listen..... Ppl give him shit for being mean... but consider every prosecutor is mean in their own way and it's fine and that's the point. Also, He's Funny And I Like Him. he's a pretty monk. huh?! don't you want a pretty monk? come meet my pretty monk 🥺 He has family issues 🥺 Because he's an ace attorney character and they all have family issues 🥺🥺🥺
HES JUST SO FUNNYYYY. I looove him. My yutaayyy
soj has... My favorite character in all media ever... datz are'bal.
i have a fanpage devoted to him. here. it's unfinished and frantic. and has hella spoilers, so oops
but take my word for it... ok... you'll love to meet him. even people who didnt like soj were like, well, but i liked datz, he was awesome. BC HE IS
in fact, he's a really good demonstration of soj's 3d sprites- dd had a rough go, i think, transitioning old characters to 3d, but they were getting ahold of it! and soj shows that they got ahold of it, i think!! datz's sprites Ruuuule, but honestly, everyone in soj looks good! even the old characters. YAYYY
And... i think soj happened in between tgaa1 and 2 in terms of development, right? so it's interesting...! comparing the series' development, you know...?!
i like to think datz and sholmes had impact on each other bc they're both so deranged
truly, maybe this is a useless post!! i mean, the fandom i'm talking about... it's mostly on twitter and reddit! and a little on tumblr, but *i* don't see it.
maybe you guys get it! you played soj when it came out bc it was a new ace attorney game and yippee.
again. definitely has flaws, i won't not criticize it, but it's nothing unique to the series, you know?! i don't think it's like, Worse.
Also
spoilers again, but
About apollos "oh they give him too many backstories....."
HE DOESNT EVEN HAVE CONFLICTING BACKSTORIES AT ALL ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ AA4 SAID HE HAD A MOM, AA5 SAID HE HAD A BEST FRIEND, AND AA6 IS LIKE, HERES HOW APOLLO SURVIVED WITHOUT KNOWING HIS MOM. AND HOW HE MET HIS BEST FRIEND. OK?! THAT'S ALL. LIKE. YES. IT'S A LITTLE CONVOLUTED BUT THAT'S THE FUNNNN THAT'S THE FUN PART OF ACE ATTORNEY IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE CONVOLUTED AND IF YOU CANT SEE THE APPEAL OF "NORMAL ASS NORMIE WIWI APOLLO BEING RAISED BY TERRORISTS IN THE HIMALAYAS" THEN WHY ARE YOU EVEN HERE. IT'S SO AWESOME.
AND THEY RAISED KIDS TOGETH
Ahem
basically, soj is my favoritest ace attorney game^_^ i played it on recommendation bc my friends were like "theres this gay uncle in it" and i was like "say no more" and then my life was changed.
it's Funnn it's just a fun sillay time i wuuuuv it. YAY SOJ ^__^
.... did this even meet the prompt?!

And +1000 specifically to the point about Apollo's backstories. They're not contradictory! At absolute worst it's like, okay, so this guy has been dodging Protagonist Status his entire life only to end up in it anyway, but that's comedy gold. Let him have a backstory!!

AND. AND YEAH. WHEN YOU riella you specifically give him the extra sympathy to machi for being a kid in a foreign country it's like 🥺 THE BACKSTORY IS GOOD!!! YOU CAN WORK WITH IT!!! RAHHHHH

the only aa games ive played are the first one and soj! the trilogy is always on sale so yea, capcom was basically begging me to try it so i did, and then i obtained soj in a totally legit and legal way on my 3ds because nahyuta smexy. his being mean only adds to it (and fr, every prosecutor is a jerk as far as i know)
i liked it! you can play it without knowing anything about aa, side game fr (probably good for someone who hasnt played them all yet like me!), but i thought it was cool and the animations were so fun. its like a bonus episode for apollo enjoyers

oh my god the slow motion is so funny. he's so precious i miss him every day...
LIKE SERIOUSLY!! even klavier is a jerk. nahyuta is just Androgynous Edgeworth re; his backstory. people hate his nonbinary swag and for what...
i hope more than anything that *if* we get an aa7, i want it to have a case like how 6-4 was simon and athena, where apollo and nahyuta are squabbling over something super insignificant. like show me them thriving... show me their relationship now that theyve had time to reunite... PLEASE
true apollo lovers enjoy soj <- fact
im glad you enjoyed my post yayy :D!!
