About two or three-ish years ago, before my freshmen year of college, an online friend of mine kept ranting and raving about how amazing awesome this Phoenix Wright game was.
A while before that, I had read in EGM about a really niche Japanese game about lawyers and court etc. At the time, they said the chances of it being released here were slim to none.
After remembering that, and being pressured, I finally ordered the game off play asia. The day I received it...yowza. I had never been one for adventure games, but this was so ridiculously fun, funny, and just well put together.
After that, I was hooked, and would spend long nights at college playing the game, laughing my ass off. Ironically, my friend never beat the first game, whereas I've imported all of them, and plan on purchasing the artbook and fanbooks when I move to Japan in September.
I also recently got my ex-girlfriend addicted to the series, and last weekend she went out, bought a DS, and all four games. XD

I decided that when I got my DS, I would try playing a different type of game and I kept seeing pictures of characters from the series, most notably pictures of Edgeworth, so I decided to try it out. I started with T&T first and I regret it, due to lack of knowledge of the previous games and while it took me a while to get into the game, I eventually became a fan of the series.

I had gotten my DS recently and I went to GameStop to go buy Trauma Center: Under the Knife. Once I bought the game the cashier said that if I liked these kind of games, then Phoenix Wright's good too. Later I started seeing pictures and hearing about it on DeviantART. Then I decided that I had to get it. I was about to go on a trip to visit my family in California and I stopped at another GameStop. They didn't have PW:AA but they had the sequel, Justice For All, which came out recently. So I settled for that.
....Needless to say most of my trip was spent playing that game nonstop. XD

I got Trials and Tribulations for Christmas, however, due to an incident involving a nonexistent PSP, I had to give it back...
In about May I bought it, and I liked it so much I bought PW:AA in June (and JFA later in August). By the time I finished PWAA and T&T in July, I was hooked.

back in 2005...
i had heard about some interesting games for DS. i was looking for them - they were trauma center and phoenix wright - because they seemed anime-themed and rather interesting. i got trauma center first, and eventually (a month or two later) found a copy of the original phoenix wright at an EB somewhere in the suburbs.
and i have loved them ever since

I was curious what "phoenix Wrong" was, so i started looking. The first real Phoenix Wrong video i found was the Boot to the head one, followed by several others. This got me interested, but i still didn't know if it was a cartoon or what though. Finally i looked for videos about Phoenix Wright, and that's how i found out, and where it started. How i actually got hooked on the game though idk.
What'd i get myself into?

For months my brother raved about this new game he was playing, telling me about all of these cases and the trouble/success he was having and more. Of course, I half listened to it because I had no idea what he was talking about... but since he was having so much fun, I was curious and when he was finished with all of the games I asked if I could play them. He gave me his DS, Justice For All (he couldn't find Ace Attorney), and I sat there and played.
I loved it right away. I asked my brother every five seconds to help me, but I was still amused to no end. I had no idea who most of the characters were and what happened before, though. I was so confused when Edgeworth came back and stuff, because I was all like, "...wtf is an Edgeworth?" XD Funny how he's basically my favourite character now.
Phoenix Wright = New Obsession. And I wouldn't have it either way.

When he explained what it had said on the back of the box thing, I was fascinated. As soon as I could I got to the store and found it. Well, actually, I found T&T. I wasn't sure if I should get it or not once I saw it was rated T (as a Christian it's extremely important to me that I keep my mind pure). The employee working there came up behind me and he was like, "Phoenix Wright games, those are the best games ever. You'd love them. But they're very story oriented, so you'll want the first one. I think we have it used..."
Well, they did. XD It was the most fun I had ever had playing a video game. I couldn't believe it. It was AMAZING. By the end of 1-4 I was an Edgeworth fangirl, though at the time I had no idea there were other ones out there, that there was a whole community of AA fans out there. I ordered JFA off of Wal*Mart.com (the only place in the world I could find it) and bought T&T from the same store I bought AA (different employee, but he too commented on what great games they were).
I made myself wait until after I finished all three games (I still don't consider AJ to be of the same series) to watch many YouTube videos related to GS, once one of them had spoiled Matt Engarde's secret for me. I finished T&T about two months ago, and a lot of comments on YouTube led me to Court-Records. So, here I am, almost a year later, and happy as can be!

Until the day after last Christmas, I was at Best Buy, with just short a few dollars of buying Pokemon Emerald and Fire Emblem for the Wii.
I thought, 'hey. I really, really want this Pokemon Emerald, but I can't afford BOTH.' So, I scoured the DS shelves awhile, and I saw "That lawyer game" again. T&T this time. And if weren't for Godot on the cover, I doubt I would've picked it up, against my better judgement.
That supposedly bad judgement led to one of my favorite fandoms ever!
It wasn't until a week or two later that I googled Phoenix Wright to find Court-Records I learned it was a series, and went out to buy AA, ordered JFA online since I couldn't find it, and got AJ as soon as it came out.
I'm pretty sure AA > Fire Emblem.

So, I'm guessing you haven't seen any of the game's innuendos then, hmm? Like Hotti's, Larry's and Sal's perversions?

After I bought my own DS, I simply couldn't seem to save enough money to buy the game. Until I went on a tour with my choir for competition, and mom gave me quite a lot to spend. On the way back, we stopped at Helsinki Airport, and THEY WERE SELLING PW THERE~ So I bought it. Needless to say, I spent most of the time on the airplane happily playing. XD

I'm not wanting to get into a big argument here, but I will state my beliefs. Those innuendos annoyed the heck out of me (not to mention Hotti creeped me out XD). But if I was completely limiting myself to only playing/watching/reading media that had no less-than-holy subject matter or language in it, it would be darn near impossible. The Ace Attorney series is actually pretty clean, in comparison to a lot of things. It's just stuff that's constantly throwing inappropriate-ness at you that I try to avoid the most. It desensitizes (I'm sorry I stink at spelling) you to it and you eventually think it's more normal.

Every break, she would pull out her gameboy and play gyakuten saiban.
(Of course, I didn't know what it was back then, neither did I care..)
Years later, I got myself a DS out of boredom,
and Phoenix Wright looked sooo~ familiar, I had to play it.

Fast forward until sometime near the end of that school year. I was really bored, and lo and behold, I discovered a forgotten game lying in a corner of my room! I played it.
Finished it soon later. Begged my parents to get me the next one. They got me T&T and then some time afterwards JFA. A bit later, I die in ecstasy after hearing that a new game has come out recently. I drag my dad to the store. End of story.
Now...well, you know the rest ^^

Flashforward to about...oh, a month and a half ago, maybe. Two months. I meet my suitemate. I've forgotten all about Phoenix Wright, until I see her bring in the games she owns. All four -- AA, JFA, T&T, and AJ. I go wide-eyed and tell her about how awesome I heard it was.
She agreed to lend me the first game, and did so. I didn't play until at least two weeks later, and got COMPLETELY and utterly hooked.
Ironically, Mia was like, my favorite character at the end of the first case.
...yeah. My friends laaauggghed when I told them this, before I went on to 1-2.

And they have different areas like PC, DS/PSP,...
And one day the host was playing PW: TaT, the case where you play Mia. And immediately I fell in love with this game!
But when I first played PW AA I was kinda confused, because of Mia and the case 1-2... But now I understand
