Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies

After a detour to tackle the Investigations games and the Layton game, we’re back to the main line of the games. These lawyers are so goddamn repressed. Working out for them that no one believes in searching each other’s names on the internet.

The below cuts are full of spoilers. This is a long post.

Question on series order

Till now, I’ve been playing the games in order of original release date, hence the detour post-AA4.

If I were to stick with that, I’d go TGAA1 -> AA6 -> TGAA2. However, I’ve read that TGAA makes far more sense as a two-parter, thus I’m inclined to play AA6 first. (I admit, it would make fic-reading less complicated.) If anyone has played the games and has opinions on how much TGAA is hurt or helped by playing its installments close together, do share.

Of course all of this is moot for right now, because we’re off to Uncharted 4 first.
