Is Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Worth It?

[@BQD_Central]

Damnit I forgot to write here first time I saw the video, sorry. This is pretty much my "entry" into Visual Novels, even before I knew what Visual Novels were. There was also a very specific reason for it: It is one of the very few Visual Novels that had a German translation on the DS. (This is still true to this day, 99.5 % of all Visual Novels that HAVE an English translation won't ever have a German translation. Which at the time was a pretty tough entry barrier, and now I'm very much used to it) At the time it was a bit on the harder side, as I didn't really understand what the game wanted from me. (Ok I started with PW 3, in which the first trail was relatively complex for a beginner) But I liked the characters so I played all 3 parts of it. Apollo Justice was skipped, and the Investigations-series had no German translation again, so I didn't bother at the time. It was mostly the last VN I played until very recently (2020), as I didn't get the appeal of the usual mostly kinectic VNs these days. I don't exactly remember what brought me back, but I know Nekopara played a role (of course), but also the Key VNs like Little Busters. Everything from Key before Little Busters is a hard sell, as the artstyle from everyting before is horrendously outdated. Even Clannad only barley gets a pass because of it's legendary status. So yeah, at least for me, everything started with Phoenix Wright. Can't say it was the worst choice.

I would never have known it wasn't on the first time you watched the video, but now i do lol I think this was a lot of people's entry into VN, either this game or Professor Layton and I think they were so successful as they have a lot of game play compared to traditional VN. But that's really cool that this was translated into German, I can only imagine how hard it must be to find translated games. It's hard to find some English ones so damn. Does that mean you play them in English now? I saw your comment on the latest video so I'll address how you started at the end there but it's still crazy place to start. I have only played the first three games now and I can't wait to play the rest of the series. While I'm not sure how easy it is to find VN in the style you like in German, there are VN on pretty much any topic and style with many having gameplay or straight reading so I'm sure there are some out there that you'd enjoy. I've seen the Nekopara games, not played them though as my back catalogue is just too crazy lol and I've not heard of Little Busters, are either of them good? Yeah I've heard of Clannad and it's status but I haven't had the drive to go and play it either. Currently I'm going to play Death End ReQuest 2 (a VN with a lot of RPG elements) as I enjoyed the first game so I hope the second continues the craziness! For me it started with Professor Layton, then 999. Then I stopped playing VN for like 10+ years before playing the remaster of 999 and now I'm back into them!
