As an Ace Attorney defense lawyer, it’s up to Phoenix and friends to put their complete trust in their clients until the bitter end. Needless to say, some clients are more worth defending than others. I’ll be ranking all thirty-three defendants in the series.

Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Farewell, My Turnabout” (Justice For All – Case 4)
After one great case and two pretty woeful ones, I think a lot of people were sick of “Justice For All” before its final case. After playing “Farewell, My Turnabout”, however, a lot of fans have this game as one of the better entries in the series. That bizarre shift in appreciation will become clearContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Farewell, My Turnabout” (Justice For All – Case 4)”
Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Big Top” (Justice For All – Case 3)
Urgh … well I suppose I had to reach this case eventually. “Turnabout Big Top”, the third case in “Justice For All”, is widely hated by everyone … except, weirdly, Shu Takami himself (Ace Attorney’s creator and lead writer).

Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Reunion, and Turnabout” (Justice For All – Case 2)
“Reunion, and Turnabout”, the second case of “Justice For All”, is unique in that it’s the first Ace Attorney case to be told out of order. Chronologically, it takes place before “The Lost Turnabout” and is framed as Phoenix recounting his unorthodox reunion with Maya. Many fans consider this a step up from the openingContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Reunion, and Turnabout” (Justice For All – Case 2)”
Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Lost Turnabout” (Justice For All – Case 1)
After the success of the first game, Shu Takami – Ace Attorney’s primary writer – was ordered by Capcom to make an entire trilogy. After months of writing and re-writing, and after being rushed by tight deadlines, it wasn’t long before “Justice For All” released in Japan. Its first case “The Lost Turnabout” has aContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Lost Turnabout” (Justice For All – Case 1)”

There are ten unique Ace Attorney mechanics by my count (not including general investigation & trial contradictions). How would I rank them all? Before we begin,Continue reading “Every Ace Attorney Mechanic Ranked (Top 10)”
