I have to admit I just skimmed most of the other comments and didn't go to the special thread yet, so I can't say if someone already mentioned it, but:

In screenshot 4, where we see Jin's back, isn't here this ornament on his jacket (or trenchcoat-like thing?) looking like the Gavin-"G"?
You know, what Klavier Gavin wore as necklace, his hair looked like it and so on..?

I mean, I can't find that again on his frontside or anywhere else in what we can see of him, but it just hit me when I saw it.

Does anyone think this could be more than just coincidence?


I think it's just a coincidence. That spiral has too many layers and isn't stretched out to look like a G like the actual Gavin symbol.

Image

Also, that spiral on Jin's back is part of a much larger symbol that his massive ponytail is obscuring.

EDIT: looks like the symbol on Jin's back is the same as the symbols on his lapels, which you can get a good view of on the box art.

I hope I'm wrong, but I think something's happened to Trucy. I think that's why Apolo seems against Phoenix, or as if he's no longer a lawyer. I wonder if she's been murdered or something, and Apollo blames Phoenix.

I like the new Prosecutor. Sure he's OTT, but if he weren't it wouldn't be Ace Attorney. XD He kind reminds me of Black Jack for some reason, and joker cards.

I think AA5 is going to be the greatest game of all time!

It definitely seems something happened to Trucy, but I'm not sure where Apollo seems against Phoenix. He's still working at the Agency and seems to be his usual self.

*sob* I want that statue / figure.. and the DS case.. but I don't want the game (will wait for English version), but I don't suppose they sell just the statue T_______T

The art looks amazing though. Not sure if I like the prosecutor's design though

The game is also Nintendo Network enabled... We already know of the costume DLC... Perhaps there will be additional DLC cases?

Also, maybe this game will be like T&T with how there were two attorneys switching back and forth? And maybe we can get more than 5 cases?

All in all, good news day.

So the pre-order bonus "jacket" is, like... an alternate boxart to put in the game?

I wonder if the pouch is for the 3DS or 3DS LL (or both). Probably the former... so it's useless to me ~_~

The figurine is nice, but... stickers? meh

All in all, pretty disappointed with the pre-order bonuses.


...Still glad, cuz it seems I should be able to get those free costumes. And the new prosecutor's speech style? I love him already <3

Okay, in the blown up courthouse photo take a look at the prosecutors bench things I noticed:
Spoiler:
1. The Bench looks perfectly okay, compare that to the defense, or the rest of the scene. They've been badly damaged. But this one remains untouched. That tells me something but I don't know
2. Whats that on the bench?
3. Looks to me that there's been a rooftop explosion, as to roof collapse you'll need multiple bombs. Was it really a bomb that was found or the detonator?

I noticed also in the Wright Anything Agency pic with Kokone. I got a good look at a higher quality pic earlier.

I wish they could make Apollo and Phoenix look as smooth and glossy as everyone else. Their character graphics at the defense bench seem just a little more obviously "3D" than everyone else's. Maybe it's just me.


It's because all other 3D models are entirely new characters while you're used to the 2D sprites of Phoenix and Apollo.

Explosion physics are just like any other physics: incredibly strange. It is not unusual for some things to take significantly less damage despite there being no inherent reason to. It can be as simple as something being in the way and acting like a shield and/or deflector.

As for the roof collapsing? Artistic license. I highly doubt that they even asked an architect how things would behave, even less bothered with a physics simulation.

The limited edition version costs 10000 yen :ack:

Even the regular edition is pretty pricey...

Capcom... Just... just take my money and leave me be

EDIT: Seems you need a Japanese address for an E-Capcom account... Ah well, hopefully Play-Asia will have the pre-order jacket with it. (I got the pre-order CD and film strip when I got PLvAA from them, so I imagine it's pretty likely)

Neni translated the character profile pages. There's some interesting details in them, especially about Jin.

Can they also offer a pair of scissors as DLC so we can cut off that ponytail? The prosecutor looked so much better to me without that big wad of hair on his back.

I realize that the Bandage Apollo is still on the website. So is the young Apollo. Odd isn't it? I have a theory on why:
Spoiler:
Bandaged Apollo is what he appears in case 1 and last. Young Apollo is used on the cover and profile because you play him in the game. Whats my proof? T&T's cover depicts young Mia you play, despite Chronologically its the Channeled Mia, the one we don't play, still appear. Also If case 2 of GS5 is indeed chronological to the rest of the story, why is the jacket suddenly dropped? Doesn't make sense to drop plot points and artworks.
That is all

That was there in Apollo Justice, too, wasn't it? I remember inspecting it and hearing Trucy talk about him.

And RE: Apollo, I've heard a few people call the Apollo on the cover and in Case 2 "young Apollo," but do we really know that he's younger than cape Apollo? It could just be that the bandages/his facial expression making him look "tougher" combined with the shoulder pads on the coat make him look older, though the time difference between the first two cases may not be more than a month.

I was kinda thinking the same thing, but... it seems unlikely, unless they wanna destroy Phoenix and Gyakuten Saiban altogether.

Quote:

Oh that would be a really dick move!
DLC costumes, fine... I don't see the point in them in Visual Novels unless they go all the way and alter all scenes to display the chosen costumes, but if they need DLC costumes, so be it. But DLC Cases? That's like bringing out an unfinished game and leaving you confused as to the end of the game, unless you buy those cases. It's like Final Fantasy XIII-2! Granted, majority of the DLC Episodes there were not really important to the story at all - except for Lightning's and even that one just confirmed that there'd be a third game and explain why Lightning appeared the way she did in the ending.
But in GS? That would be really shit. Especially for people like me, who don't like having their gaming consoles hooked to the internet. Or don't have enough money to shell out for DLC stuff.

Gawd this game looks so good! I think the 3Dness is going to be amazing and I'm so happy we get to play as Phoenix and Apollo!

Really want the game.......like now, but I think I'll have time to replay the previous games several times over before a western release :sadshoe:

Whew! Finally logged in and loading! For some reason this site wouldn't load for me in the past few days, so I only got to fangirl on tumblr about the new info.

Okay, getting back to topic. I was wondering, some said that Case 2 isn't a flashback case but... the thing that worries me is that.... the military long coat Apollo had and his new hairstyle in Case 1... why would it suddenly disappear in Case 2 if it's not a flashback case? It's just that, Case 2 seems more likely to be a flashback case since wasn't the new military long coat given so much emphasis...

But then the thing that worries me is that his official design in the box art is not his design on Case 1. So if Case 2 isn't a flashback... Who changed his mind to return to his old hairstyle and threw away the long coat? Unless... the long coat was an evidence in Case 1 and Trucy and Kokone set up Apollo with that hairstyle just for fun XD
Either way, any thoughts? :phoenix:

So if Apollo is bandaged up in case 1, why can't he have just healed up by case 2... i mean, most Ace Attorney cases take place at least a month or so after the last, If Apollo is able to walk around with the bandages in case 1, then surely his injuries aren't that bad, and would heal up in a month or so. So yeahhhh...

Well, I know most people have that same theory but.... it's just that.... why remove the long coat and the hairstyle :/ It just worries me.... and then... there's the mention he 'matured' so much, and the emphasis on the long coat again.... I don't know :/ Either, being a flashback case or a normal timed case seems okay to me though. But I don't know... the only reason I can imagine the long coat being gone is when it's actual evidence for Case 1, and he'd come swooping in, just like how Franziska came in the second game.

Yeah. *sighs* Maybe I just can't get over the fact that his design for Case 1 isn't his official design ;_; Still, for now, Case 2 is what it is. Something that will get a bit deeper into Apollo's power. For some reason, the guy who wears the same bracelet as Apollo in Case 2, I imagine him selling stuff like it but doesn't work on others unless it's in a Gramarye bloodline XD (But that's just my crazy theory :will: )

I've got a friend that kinda knows japanese, so I asked a translation of the second case a bit concerning the title and stuffs....


"The title of the case is literally '''Turnabout Gazu Hyakki Yagyou''', which is this snazzy old book: Link: https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%94%BB ... C%E8%A1%8C (if you ever read/watched any series about demons, it's probably where the whole "demon parade at night" thing comes from). Text on the left is "The enigmatic hero wearing a fox mask with the championship belt (?) is he really facing the villain...?" the (?) is in the actual text XD something like that LOL Japanese makes me feel dizzy @_@"

Was most of this stuff already mentioned or known? (I'm probably guessing the title has been already mentioned)

As for the game itself, I think I'm slowly boarding the hype train. I was definitely one of the naysayers about Jin when I first saw his picture, but in the day or two since he's been announced, he's kind of grown on me. I'm somewhat glad we won't have to deal with a prosecutor running into evidence that we don't get ourselves, since he'll be in jail whenever court isn't going on.

I have a theory as to how they could hype him up, though...

Spoiler:
It appears that Apollo will be the main character for case 2, when Jin makes his appearance. Perhaps they'll have Apollo lose the case in order to hype Jin up as an incredible prosecutor who took down Apollo's unbeaten record (if it's still unbeaten by the time AA5 rolls around).


Either that, or...

Spoiler:
Case 2 might be a flashback case, to the trial where the courtroom bomb went off.


Either way, I still want to know where in the world Phoenix got enough money to hire another lawyer as his assistant. The guy was barely making rent and had to live in his agency in order to get by. Now all of a sudden he's back up and running with a successful law office and a new hire within the year.


Spoiler:
Here's what I think. Case 1 and Case 2 are a few months apart from each other, so Apollo is back to his original design. Otherwise, how would Kokone come along? As for Jin, maybe he's an antagonist at one point... :yuusaku:

If Apollo looks likes what he does in Case 2, then he would have to have some time to heal his injuries, right? So Case 1 is not directly before Case 2, unless it IS a flashback case, but I think that that is unlikely.


Either way, I'm still ultra happy that Apollo is involved in some way or another. :edgy: :odoroki:

The way I see it, there are two likely scenarios here:

Scenario 1
Spoiler:
5-2 chronologically comes after 5-1:

:odoroki: has recovered from the wounds he almost certainly received by being in or near the court(room) during its bombing (evidence: a hypothetical before/after scenario constructed on the basis of :odoroki: 's known visual appearances);

Kokone is his assistant for the occasion (evidence: a screenshot of her in the "pandemonium village" presented in the second case);

and the reason :odoroki: took the case could be that :phoenix: is possibly off to somewhere else. (My guess? :minuki: is shown to be kidnapped, and he's tracing her, negotiating or something fairly similar (based on him keeping Zak's locket in his lawyer suit being maybe a tad strange, and also the bit of info about how he became an attorney again to keep an important promise, which really could be the same promise he gave to Thalassa in the aftermath of 4-4, e.g. that he would watch over her children).)

Problems with the theory: the third thesis is pure speculation based on circumstantial evidence, since the fulfillment of the promise could easily be based only on :odoroki: being injured in the bombing, Wright Anything Agency thus suddenly falling short an only lawyer, and someone more experienced than Kokone needing to take such a case.
Scenario 2
Spoiler:
5-2 chronologically comes before 5-1:

it's a flashback case which ends in the old courtroom being bombed (evidence: Yuugami's silhouette in an official picture of the destroyed courtroom);

Kokone is present in the investigation portion because she is first met there (evidence: alternate interpretation of the aforementioned screenshot);

and the reason :odoroki: took the case could be that :hobohodo: hasn't regained his attorney's badge yet. (From that point, being that :hobohodo: 's fulfillment of his own promise to Thalassa doesn't necessarily hinge on :minuki: being in trouble at all, it doesn't matter until the proposed end of 5-2).

Problems with the theory: if :hobohodo: didn't get reinstated as a lawyer yet (which is why we presume :odoroki: is investigating that village (if it IS an investigation rather than just a prologue for the crime) without knowing for certain who the character in the first person is), and Kokone is first met in the village, it's at least somewhat odd that :minuki: 's not accompanying :odoroki: for the investigation, even though she should be alright if we go along with the assumption of :hobohodo: still being jobless. But then again, she might be having (even new official Gramarye-related) magician commitments (evidence: the rights transfer to :minuki: near the end of 4-4).
So, how does this jibe with you? If any of my assumptions are wrong or anything I've just written is completely illogical, I'd very much like to be corrected.

As for the game itself, I think I'm slowly boarding the hype train. I was definitely one of the naysayers about Jin when I first saw his picture, but in the day or two since he's been announced, he's kind of grown on me. I'm somewhat glad we won't have to deal with a prosecutor running into evidence that we don't get ourselves, since he'll be in jail whenever court isn't going on.

I have a theory as to how they could hype him up, though...

Spoiler:
It appears that Apollo will be the main character for case 2, when Jin makes his appearance. Perhaps they'll have Apollo lose the case in order to hype Jin up as an incredible prosecutor who took down Apollo's unbeaten record (if it's still unbeaten by the time AA5 rolls around).


Either that, or...

Spoiler:
Case 2 might be a flashback case, to the trial where the courtroom bomb went off.


Either way, I still want to know where in the world Phoenix got enough money to hire another lawyer as his assistant. The guy was barely making rent and had to live in his agency in order to get by. Now all of a sudden he's back up and running with a successful law office and a new hire within the year.

Or, it could be that Apollo and Trucy met Kokone at one point, before cases 1 or 2, and they invited her into the office force. According to one screenshot before Nick's first trial after 8 years, she declares herself to be his personal assistant. Why she'd do that right before the trial makes me think that she may have been an assistant to someone else before then. Whoever it is, I have no idea.

By the way, Apollo may have an undefeated streak, but he's no legend like Phoenix. There'd be no point to hyping up Jin that way, given that Jin himself already had a bad reputation long before he ever heard of Apollo. Polly hasn't flown that far yet, so others tend to ruffle his feathers the wrong way. Nonetheless, his mighty Chords of Steel will knock down any foes who dare stand in his path.

Here's what I think. Case 1 and Case 2 are a few months apart from each other, so Apollo is back to his original design. Otherwise, how would Kokone come along? As for Jin, maybe he's an antagonist at one point... :yuusaku:

I can understand why case 2 doesn't seem like a flashback case. Kokone and Apollo are already acting like they're very familiar with one another. That one shot of happy Kokone at the village; she's glad they finally found this tourist spot. (If they're going around on vacations like this, I have a feeling that all this tension surrounding Trucy's absence is still too soon.)

Nonetheless, why would Apollo change his admittedly awesome new hairstyle back to his old one? Unless he and Phoenix had some issues with who gets the spikiest hair in the office, I don't think it'd matter that he changes it.

Kokone couldn't have met Apollo there in the village. She's already acting too friendly with him for them to be strangers (unless that's how she acts with anyone, which I can see as such).

And I don't believe by this time that Nick wouldn't have gotten his attorney's badge yet. He had plenty of time since the end of GS4 to ponder over it, and he went with it. No problems here. As for Trucy, Phoenix could have taken her with him to somewhere Kurain Village maybe for whatever reason. Or, she's busy with her magic road shows, with Phoenix as her assistant. In any case, it's not clear what's the connection between these two cases thus far, apart from Kokone being present in both.

Despite having been imprisioned under the accusations of murder, Yugami still serves his duties as a prosecutor.

He represents the Prosecutor’s Office in court.

Due to this contradictory position and his tendency to stir up unrest in court with his behaviour, he has come to be called the “Distortion Prosecutor” by the public.

Wait, if the new prosecutor has been imprisoned for murder, then what the hell is anyone thinking letting him still prosecute?
It's not like he's the only prosecutor who can actually prosecute, right?
Did Klavier and the Payne bros just up and leave, making him the only one eligible to prosecute?

There is going to be a good reason why someone who really can't be trusted to have a justice position is given it back.

I agree. The ones who created AA5 wouldn't just make him a prosecutor again without a reason. And it's too early to speculate whether or not he killed someone or not just because he's under a death row sentence/murder sentence. Heck, judging from AA5, there's even a possibility he's not even guilty of the murder, and the only reason why he's guilty is probably because of the new judicial system, but it's still early to speculate I guess....
