The Great Ace Attorney: Adventures - Barok van Zieks: GROTGC | Reacting To Video Game Music!

[@heerotomoe]

Oh dude, if there's any ace attorney to check out, it's the Great Ace Attorney duology. Separate from the main games so much shorter to consume the two games and get a full story, but also the newest and arguably the best both in atmosphere and game mechanics. (Also quite the steal for the price imo) It's a labor of love that the creators were very proud of despite it flopping in the original Japanese release. Personally went crazy over the music, so it'd be awesome to see you experience it all in context.

[@CloudyCora]

SO REAL TGAAC MUSIC IS STRAIGHT FIRE

[@MegamanStarforce2010]

it'd be the sickest shit to see you play this! this is the first game in the series in a long long while that doesn't need any previous games for context cause it's its own thing. it'd also be shorter than your rpg playthroughs by a fair bit

[@tako-tac7764]

Depends, for the two games I took 90 h from memory

Barok van Zieks is very good at what he does. He earned the title as "The Reaper of the Bailey" due to nearly everyone he prosecuted dying in some way or another regardless of guilt or innocence. Also, would you believe the two games originally came out on the 3DS and were exclusive to Japan until last year due to Sherlock Holmes being in the game? They were able to bring them out of Japan by changing his name. Say hello to Herlock Sholmes!

Honestly the most hilarious way to get past the Conan Doyle Estate

[@garr_inc]

@@sholmes3654 Just like how it was done 100 years ago, when Maurice Leblanc changed his name in exactly the same fashion when making a duel between Sholmes and Arsene Lupin, the Gentleman Thief.

[@sholmes3654]

@@garr_inc I know, I love that!! Learning about Sholme's OG name change is exactly what got me into reading the Arsene Lupin series! XD

Great Ace Attorney's OST is absolutely amazing. I played both games last year and i still hear the music. Kazuma's theme was my ringtone for a while lol

[@hansgretl1787]

Barok Van Zieks is a prosecutor, and they say that every defendant he prosecutes dies shortly after the trial, whether they are pronounced innocent or guilty. That is one of the big mysteries of the game. If you wanna hop into Ace Attorney, the original trilogy is available along with the two Great Ace Attorney games in a bundle for a reasonable prize on just about every modern platform, and you are essentially getting 5 games on varying degrees of greatness, totally worth it.

[@andreeabrutaru4480]

As a long time fan of the franchise , and of Barok van Zieks and his theme song, i thank you for making a video about it ❤️

[@gustavosimao4584]

I really appreciate that platinum supporter, lol. Ace Attorney is always welcome. Anyway, as much as I love "The Great Ace Attorney" duology, I really think that the "Ace Attorney" trilogy is the best starting point for newcomers. In terms of quality, both are equally great, but "The Great Ace Attorney" cases are more convoluted and are better appreciated if you have some experience with the franchise (even though its plot is its own thing), imo. Also, some cases from the "Great Ace Attorney" duology break several typical conventions from the franchise, and to fully appreaciate these you need to play at least the "Ace Attorney" trilogy first. Another thing worth mentioning is that if you play "The Great Ace Attorney" first and then the "Ace Attorney" trilogy, the later may have some cases that might feel too simple for you. That's another reason I'd recommend playing the trilogy first. That being said, both are fine as an starting point to the franchise. Just keep in mind that the AA trilogy is where the franchise was born, while TGAA are the newest games, so they are a bit more experimental. It would be great to watch you experience either one for the first time.

The man in picture is Ryunosuke Naruhodo, the protagonist of the game and a lawyer. Barok van Zieks is the prosecutor. I plan to play this in the near future after I've played the other Ace Attorney games. Also if the music does sound confusing as for the context, maybe you could watch the trailer of the game? Just a suggestion.

[@corrin-1976]

What ace attorney games you still miss? I’ve played them all except miles investigations 2,they’re awesome :D

[@IceRuler]

@@corrin-1976 Investigations 2, unfortunately. I'm currently on Dual Destinies, 4th case.

[@corrin-1976]

@@IceRuler oh,that was my least favorite case if I remember the game right,but I still liked it a lot because of the mechanics and the last case,you ll see :) but played spirit of justice before?

[@tako-tac7764]

I only played the first one and the Great ace attorney chronicles. Now I 'am scared to go back to older games because it was awesome...

[@TheFrostedfirefly]

"The Great Ace Attorney" series just so you know, isn't actually part of the main branch of games that you'd simply know as "Ace Attorney". Whilst it's not exactly considered a spin-off, The Great Ace Attorny is an almost "prequel" to the original games in the sense that you play as the ancestor of Phoenix Wright. So the stories are not a prequel that they tie to the main games directly, but simply another time period of that same universe, hence why the music in TGAA sounds a lot more "classic" compared to the other games. Oh, I'm sure plenty of people have mentioned this already, but bother the Ace Attorney Trilogy AND The Great Ace Attorny Chronicles is on both ther Nintendo Switch and PC now too.

[@zephytime8196]

You will most often hear this song start up as Barok van Zieks methodically obliterates your arguments and puts your case (and often your life) in jeopardy. As such, it is appropriately foreboding and yes, puzzling.

[@UnexpectedDanger]

It's foreboding, but there's a sadness in it, too. It sounds like it's for a funeral. There's a tragedy to it. Fittingly of course.

[@sholmes3654]

I think my favorite songs of GAA are probably Partners ~ the Game is Afoot and Kazuma - Samurai with a Mission. Great Ace Attorney is a cool game, and is probably my favorite in the Ace Attorney franchise, it really breaks away from the traditional AceAttorney formula set up by the previous games and I think its super cool!

[@RPGMel710]

It's on PC now and it goes on sale often enough that you can get it at a decent price. It's 2 games in one on top of that. It's a great game to just do one case at a time. Stream or don't stream, I recommend you play this game just to see if this stuff is up your alley. The first 3 games are also available in a similar package on PC.

[@moonblood1721]

best ace attorney game! love to see this theme in particular pop up on the channel.

[@alexandrel2402]

This game loves using leitmotif so as a composer you might enjoy playing it just to analyse how they're using em

[@kurtisharen]

This would be an amazing game series for you to stream or do a video series on. A lot of these games' music lose a lot of impact when you don't have the context behind them. For instance, using this same game, the triumphant theme that begins when you finally corner the case's villain sounds great on its own, but hits another level when you have the same realizations at the same time as the protagonist, and your own personal feeling of triumph matches when the music starts revving up. The Ace Attorney games are very well known for their music, especially the Great Ace Attorney games. They're "reading-only" type games, so lack of skill isn't an issue, and it would be awesome if you were to do a play-through just to focus on the music, and how well each theme fits their situation or character that they're supposed to represent. I don't think I've ever seen ANYBODY do a play-through of any of these games just to focus on the music, and it would be a great change of pace.

[@necrago]

Dude, it's out on pretty much every major gaming device now.

[@jian7372]

YEASH THIS IS MY FAVORITE OST AND BAROK IS MY FAV CHARACTER THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIZ VID❤❤

[@angellynn7104]

BTW the reason dai gyakuten saiban, or the great ace attorney has orchestral music is because it takes place in the late 1800's-early 1900's and follows Phoenix Wright's ancestor, Ryunosuke Naruhodo. highly recommend checking out the games, the context of where they play makes it so much better. (also, its on steam now remastered)

[@cringebucket1945]

hope to see you react to more ace attorney content soon!

[@ikkinwithattitude]

This song reminds me very strongly of Waltz of the Damned from Kingdom Hearts II. =O I'm guessing that's because "baroque" is the most important descriptor for both songs.

[@Wuscheli0]

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles let's play when? In all seriousness, Chronicles is a great title even by Ace Attorney standards and I'm sure many people would be excited to see you explore this collection (at least I would be). If you do decide to play it, be aware that the two games (which are coupled together in the "Chronicles" release) are two halves of one big story rather than a standalone game and it's sequel, so you should play them both. But since Ace Attorney games aren't terribly long, that should be manageable. But even if you don't decide to play it, it at least has plenty more cool and interesting music to offer.

[@davidlampreia]

Play it and be ready for the world of OBJECTION !!!!!!!!

[@hunterhunter5998]

I'd be totally onboard if you checked the Great Ace Attorney games out. It's a great story and overall experience

[@Sekainoowaride]

This would be a good game series to play BUT, it is very long.

[@TheFrostedfirefly]

Ehhh, I mean, the series as a whole? Yes, would take some time to play, but each game on their own are a lot more digestible than that. I'd say that if you spent just a couple of hours each day playing, you could get through the trilogy in a couple weeks. TGAA does have noticably longer episodes though, so I could see then why you'd need to schedule some time for yourself to play. I think it's tutorial chapter was the longest in the series by far.
