@@flynnfarron if AAI1 is your favorite AA game then 2 is going to blow you away. The fan translation was incredible and I’m beyond thrilled to finally have an official one that more people will be able to play
Maybe it's just me, but I can really feel the emotional difference between this and Phoenix's Pursuit themes. Phoenix's Pursuit has the feel of, well, a heroic turnabout, a sudden revelation that turns the tables and swings things in his favor. But with Edgeworth's Pursuit, it feels like the theme of everything going just as planned, where everything he's built up comes to a climax as he calmly reveals he had it all in the cards the whole time.
So basically, Phoenix has the "I've finally found the answer!" theme, Edgeworth has the "Hm. Imbecile. I've had the answer all along" really reflects them.
Edgeworth: I've known everything right from the beginning, my intellect precedes me. I have analyzed every piece of data since its arrival for months on end. Pheonix: *opens autopsy report for the first time* you guys will not believe this
In the Ace Attorney series, when you're on the right track or doing well, the music reflects that. But whenever I hear this in the game, it just makes me feel invincible, y'know?
After a decade, I think I've finally figured out why the title's translated as "Lying Coldly". The Japanese name is つきつめたくて, but whoever translated it must have misparsed it as つく "tell (a lie)" + つめたい "cold" and made it up with a free imagination. The fact is that it comes from つきつめる "examine thoroughly" + たい "want to", so should be rendered such as "gotta get to the bottom of this". The autopsy report needs an update.
While "Cornered" is more like you're fighting your way out of a hole using contradictions, this is giving: "You haven't even received the death penalty yet, but I'm already dancing on your grave"
Phoenix Wright: THE VICTIM COULDN’T WRITE THE NAME OF THE MURDERER! Check this autopsy report. The victim died immediately! IT’S WRITTEN BLACK ON WHITE! Miles Edgeworth: ... *Hold my updated autopsy report*
This should be played when you're about to lose the case against Miles. Imagine you're getting too many penalties and getting cornered while hearing this catchy music.
Unironically if this ever actually played in a main series game where you're going up against Edgeworth and he's winning. That would be the best fanservice for me
Chipping away at that old man's testimony was just as satisfying as taking down Damon Gant. He put up a hell of a fight, but man did you ever get a rush from this song when you were attacking his logic. "damn you old man, you're friggin lying and I'm gonna prove it!"
The entire fight was literally Alba: hahaha i am president/ambassador get out of this country Shi-Long-Lang: Yea you're not ambassador anymore Alba: Oops i am just a weak old man i didn't kill him aaaa
@@pyrokun7255 that whole case can be summed up with an actual quote from said case: Miles: It doesn’t make sense that you didn’t know anything! Alba: It doesn’t make sense? How does it not make sense? Can you *prove* that it doesn’t make sense?
Now that a Apollo Justice Trilogy Collection has been officially announced, I'm now hoping that a Duology of the Investigations games isn't that far off!
Wright's theme gives you feeling like you've overturned everything upside down and found a way in an unwinnable situation. Edgeworth's theme makes you feel like everything you've build up to goes just as planned and it's time to deliver final justice.
Phoenix is a lot more energetic and almost wild as he bluffs a lot While Edgeworth is a confident professional who rely on his logic and reasoning above any other thing. I honestly think some jobs are more suited for Nick’s heart while I would always give the most difficult investigations and mysteries to Edgeworth as when he gets serious he always makes Phoenix look like an amateur. Such an interesting dynamic, they made this one game and introduced new prosecutors as it was inaccurate and sad having Edgeworth lose every time but I honestly think he’s so good we would’ve still have an high opinion of him even if he lost 8 cases straight against Nick.
So do I. GK2 has a great one as well, but this one just fits with Edgeworth himself more. GK2 feels closer to other pursuit themes than this one. Not a bad thing but still
The three dislikers: ''But we genuinely didn't like this music!'' Edgeworth: OBJECTION! You just need to have your ear checked! The three dislikers: Ha! We can hear everything perectly! We don't need no ear check! Edgeworth: *checks court record* TAKE THAT! I have here three doctors note that says you all need to have your ear checked. If yu had donne so, maybe you wouldn't have been accused of disliking this song. The three dislikers: ARRRRRRRGH *attempt to run away'' Edgeworth: HOLD IT!
Spoiler for case 5, do not read if you didn't finish case 5 mega spoiler Shih-na all we'd have to do is compare your fingerprints with ones on this perfume bottle
the final act musik from the PW , AJ and ME are awesome! all of them in one team = 100 % truth because? i say it: Pheonix ability to think very far away Apollos kinetic sight Edgeworts Logic
My Wife and I have recently got into these boxes where you investigate fictional Cold Cases, and this would be our theme song when we get on the tail of the killer and figure out who did it.
I never really understood why they never let you actually be a prosecutor in court. Like, it's mostly just investigating and yelling at people. Like yeah that's the literal name of the game but still
My guess is that the devs want to associate being in court with a sense of heroism. Each time Edgeworth is called to argue someone's case, they always seem to be guilty. Perhaps they want to sorta of day that, in court, Edgeworth does what needs to be done, and out of court, he does what is right.
