Never played these before.

Always looked good, will consider purchasing it in the future.

But I'll give the demo a go now.

I totally forgot about dlc for this game. It really makes sense here for dlc cases and id probably buy everyone of them. This could really add a ton of value to this game!

It's out right now but I don't see the free DLC outfits anywhere. Guess I'll have to wait until the weekend for those!
EDIT: Ah, found them in the in-game store. Nevermind!

Also, I'mma be slightly disappointed if I can't select the Japanese voices.

Though I think each game can still be enjoyed on their own, it's definitely best to play them all in order, from 1-through-4 (well, 1-through-5 now). Even if the plots from each game don't always have a ton of overlap (or more than 3 returning characters, in 4's case), there are many references, inside jokes and running gags from the older games that will be missed if you haven't played them. The 3rd game, Trials and Tribulations, in particular is a much more emotionally rewarding experience if you've already played the first two games, and that's part of the reason why it's considered to be the best entry in the series by many Ace Attorney fans, myself included.

Ace Attorney Investigations can be safely skipped, being a spin-off and all, though it's still quite good and worth playing if you like the series.

@RevolverLink Awesome, thanks for the info. Very helpful.

@Klimbatize - You're welcome. I hope you enjoy the series.

Yeah, I really want to jump into this game, but I still have to finish the first game then play through 2-4...which I may not be able to get for a while.

Part of the reason I'm so excited for DanganRonpa is because it's supposed to be similar, but isn't a huge franchise, so I can just jump right in.

EDIT: Just played the demo and loved it. Maybe I should just jump right into this and then replay it once I'm done with the rest? Seems enjoyable enough already. Anyways, I already bought the full game and it's downloading right now.

@CanisWolfred Just play this one and think of the others as a prequel! If I like this one enough ill probably pick up 2-4 as I still remember a lot from the first game.

I didn't see them in the beginning either, but after I saved and closed and reopened the game the extras menu was available, DLC is under it, costume pack was the only DLC available and was only 46 blocks so downloaded preetty fast

Ok case #2 starts out so weird that I was sure which game I was playing there for a minute or so! That's not a bad thing though!

I'm up to Episode 4 already. Episode 3 was good, but... kinda predictable.

For some reason I'm stuck on case 2. I can't talk to anyone anymore or there is no new areas to go to. It happen right after I was given the key for the forbidden chamber! Someone please help. Do I present something to someone to further the story?

Yeah, I stumbled quite a bit throughout that investigation section.

Have you managed to talk to Jinxie or L'Belle yet?

@RevolverLink I haven't talked to L'Belle since the investigation began. The last thing I was told to do was ask Jinxie if she knew about the key yet all the areas I go to she isn't showing up and everyone in those areas I've already talked to them about everything I can. There is check marks by everyone. I even tried presenting the key to them and nothing!

@Spoony_Tech - Is Jinxie still in Yokai Lane? Have you shown her the Fox & Demon Statue?

@RevolverLink Nope she is nowhere to be found. Athena appears in both places she appeared before and I've asked her the same questions. I honestly think I hit a case ending glitch!

@Spoony_Tech - I should probably start throwing up a warning, for the people that aren't this far yet: SPOILER I think you might not be finished talking to Damian Tenma in detention just yet. You get the key from him, yes, but you also need to present both the statue and the blackmail letter to him, and then talk to him a little more.End of SPOILER If that somehow doesn't work, I'd suggest restarting the chapter, since you're right at the beginning of it anyway

@RevolverLink Thanks, I haven't tried that yet. Can you start from the second day. I figured I would have to start from the begining.

@Spoony_Tech - If you choose "Episode Select" on the main menu, not only are you able to select any of the available cases, but each case has a "Chapter Select" option, which allows you to jump into a case from various different (already cleared) checkpoints, including, but not limited to, the beginnings of trials and investigations.
