Here's the deal: I've played Ace Attorney, and I just got Trials and Tribulations for my birthday. Justice for All is a BITCH to track down and I'm ordering it off Capcom's website (so it'll take a while to come). Anyhoo, I'm going into PW withdrawal and I'm wondering if I'll witness any life-ruining events (and/or spoilers) if I just go ahead and play Trials and Tribulations. IS THIS A GOOD IDEA? HMM? :zap:

Yes. T&T contains every backspoiler imaginable, and 3-5 relies heavily on the assumption that you've played JFA. Seriously, you should reconsider....

My GameStop has a zillion copies of JFA. 0_o
Pairings: Miego, FeenRis, EdgeyFran, KlavEma, CloTi, Zerith, Vincrecia.
Just a note, all: I haven't been on in a while, so I'm trying to get my little persona here back in order. I won't be on as much in the future, maybe a few times a week. Sorry!

It really depends on the place. It took me a while to track down a copy of Ace Attorney, and even then I had to buy it used.

Yeah, if spoilers tend to ruin your gaming experience, you may want to hold out a little longer and play JFA first. Perhaps you could tie yourself over with doujinshi or something? ^_^

It pretty much depends on how you feel about spoilers, I suppose. The games are designed so that it isn't necessary to play one game to play the others, but because they are connected plot wise, doing this may spoil parts of JFA for you as T&T recaps a lot JFA.

Whoa, do you live near me cause I'm having the same exact problem. No one near me as JFA and I can vouche that it will spoil it for you within the first five minuits of the second case.

There are a lot of things that happen in T&T, ESPECIALLY in 3-5, that I don't think you'll fully appreciate unless you've played JfA. You can probably get away without playing it in the sense that you don't need to remember anything from JfA to beat T&T, but the third game will spoil a good chunk of the second game.

I can't believe every store in your area is missing the game. :edgeworth: It makes me think I should just preorder AJ from Amazon like I did T&T.

T&T makes so many references too a particilar verdict in JFA that it would ruin one of the better cases in the second game.

As for the JFA shortage, im curious why every gamestop near me has PW games in abundance..

If you've ordered it already, you might as well just wait.

NO! FOR GOD'S SAKE, NO!

You can play 2 without playing 1, sure. But if you play 3 without playing 2, then like a bad relationship choice, you'll have great fun until it's over and immediately hate yourself in the morning.

D: O-okay! I swear that I shall not play T&T before JFA under pain of death!
I actually had the disappearances explained to me by a charming, zit-faced Gamestop employee. Apparently, many gaming stores (at least around where I live) only received one shipping of the game, totally unaware of how popular it was gonna be. So now there's a shortage until they get a brand-spankin' new shipping...or something like that. People should probably pre-order Apollo Justice n' stuff.

I bought JFA, then tracked down AA and reserved T&T for later.

I went through half of JFA, then finally got ahold of AA and T&T and played through all three games in order

it was much better in my opinion, since I was confused about

Spoiler:
lol whut Edgeworth has dissappeared!?

And you can't find it!? Did you try Nintendo World? They've got EVERYTHING! I just waltzed in there one day and there was JFA in a nice little display case. They had like 7 or so.

Ah, that's somewhat the same idea of what I did. I played JFA first, then staved off the last court battle until I had played the first one.

But, really. I agree with everyone else here... to whatever they said. I forgot the whole topic, and I'm too lazy to scroll up. DX

I personally played T&T first, because that's what my family found for christmas, and I wasn't going to buy the other games until I knew for sure I liked T&T. I now have AA, and am still tring to track down JfA.
If you have a choice, play them in order, T&T has quite a few spoilers that ruins some of the suspence, in AA, and even though I haven't played it, I know it also gives JfA spoilers as well.


Still, they're really fun! :godot:

Go to Best Buy, I wasn't even looking for it and I randomly found JFA there. T&T you can get most places obviously, and Gamestop is the only place I really see ever have AA, and of course its always used. I had to get mine used, but that really doesn't make much of a difference XD

I did the unspeakable because I have the same problem as someof you-- I haven't even SEEN a physical copy of JFA and the temptation of Godot and playing as Mia was just too much. I had played and loved AA beforehand, though, but that's not your question...

I still enjoyed the living HELL out of the game and I still plan to play JFA too, because T&T really only spoiled one thing that was pretty easy to guess anyway.

Morgan? Evil? Nooooooo!

I already knew that Edgeworth had disappeared because he said he was going to in 1-5.

I played them 2, 1, 3. The big spoiler for 1 has been mentioned repeatedly above, but it did make the reappearance kind of suspenseful. I was wondering, "Who is this guy, and can he possibly be as awesome as is suggested here?" And then the question is answered quite clearly.

You'll enjoy it a lot more if you play it in order. I didn't know the game's stories were connected to each other, so I played JFA first. This of course, confused me as sometimes I didn't know what they were talking about (e.g. the pic of young Edgey and Phoenix made me go "uhhh.. ok what did I miss?") So I ended up playing 2, then 1, then 3. After I finished T&T, I played them all again in order XD. Believe me, it's much better that way. Even on my second run through of all the games, it was more fun and lots of things were properly put into context.

At least you can find the copies at all. I can't be the only one who remembers trying to buy a copy of AA soon after it came out.

Haha, this reminds me of the times I hunted for AA. I always asked for the cashier to 'check the back' and voila, I got every AA through a Damon Gant method. I still don't have the actual box for AA1 though...

I accidentally did that and I was so confused, to be honest. Granted, that was because I thought T&T WAS the second game, but anyhow.
I played about two and a half (lol) cases in T&T before finally playing JFA, and it kinda spoiled two cases for me in JFA (second and fourth). Well, I wasn't spoiled for the fourth, just very very confused, lol.

I got T&T first, but I played through the rest in order.
But to be honest, the spoilers revealed in T&T were pretty darn obvious.

I played through them in order since I was lucky enough to get information about the games regarding their order - But sadly, since T&T came out in Europe AFTER AJ, many people here actually think that AJ is the third game. D:

:eh?: Why is it unspeakable? I did it. I closed my eyes for the spoilers in The Stolen Turnabout and Bridge to the Turnabout. I don't know anything about JFA except that 1. Edgey apparently disappeared, and 2. Franziska showed up.

I don't see any problem with doing that. Hell, I played the JFA first, then T&T, then I started AJ then played PW:AA after I got sick of wondering who the heck Ema was XD

I definitely think that it would make a lot more sense if you played the games in order, so you have a better understanding of what's going on. :3

But the games are manuscripted to have only light spoiles for the previous one, so you DON'T need to know anything about AA to play T&T for example. But T&T agaisnt JFA, there's a lot more spoilers on that.
