So I'm torn on Apollo Justice.

I really want to play it, because I have all these raging rabid biases and I want to at least inform them with firsthand experience. Also I actually like Apollo and Klavier and am determined to find something that doesn't piss me off about Trucy.

At the same time, the thought makes me shudder and I want the game to fall off the face of the planet.

I don't know if I could endure seeing Hobo actually on my screen, talking and moving and being not Phoenix, dammit D:

(Either way, I'm not buying it. I'll borrow a copy if I decide to play.)

I have a feeling that Capcom is going to Megaman the hell out of this series. In other words, twenty-five years down the line, the original characters, characters that appeared in the second series, and characters from the second series but a now in a new separate canon from the second series won't be appearing in the games anymore.

And they'll be like, five alternate Ace Attorney universes, each with their own series.

I don't know why Trucy pisses people off, to be honest. D: I like her. And I think Naruhobo is... interesting. I mean. I'm not quite sure what to think of him. But it's not dislike, but I can't say I like him. It's like watching your shiny role model that you've idolized since childhood descend into the world of drugs and alcohol abuse, right before your eyes!

I'm also torn.

I can take Hobohodo - like I've said, a lifetime in comics fandom makes it easy for me to write the entire Apollo Justice continuity as an alternate reality.

That said, I don't want to take Hobohodo and there's so many brilliant games out for the DS right now that I want to play I don't particularly feel I need to take Hobohodo.

Rename him Fred in your mind.

If it makes you feel better, I am sure Trucy will be infinitely more tolerable without referring to herself in the third person like she does in the Japanese. That won't help with her creepy lack of a moral compass and sociopathic tendencies, but at least you won't want to beat her face in every time she opens her mouth.

I tried to join the fandom in its wrath and indignation, but since roughly the second thing I heard spluttered in rage and pique was "And--and the stupid sexy well-dressed German twins--!" ....weeeelllllll....

....Actually, Trucy's my favorite character after Klavier. XD I love her, she's so adorable.

Hm, excuse me, but I've only recently gotten into PW and I was thinking about AJ and I came across your post - what exactly is Hobo?

Ah, Hobo = AJ!Phoenix.

Also called Hobo Phoenix, Hobohodo, Naruhobo, and various other unkind names. XD Largely due to his new look, but probably in significant part also out of revulsion for the character Capcom turned him into.

Of course, I don't know much about the games - I've played AJ's first case in a fit of boredom, but I can't say much. I suppose that, just like flidgetjerome, I see AJ much as an AU, and I was having fun watching Phoenix turn the court upside-down. I concentrated on that instead of thinking deeply about the characters, because I hate to say goodbye and AJ feels too much like it. If that makes any sense.
