Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Fanon Discontinuity]]: A minority of fans ignore "Rise from the Ashes" (which was not part of the original Japanese GBA game but instead added in as a bonus for the DS remake) because, despite providing us with [[Memetic Badass]] Damon Gant, it actually subtly [[Retcon|retcons]] the backstory of the game: {{spoiler|Most of the rumors about Edgeworth being a [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] are false and he never intentionally used fake evidence}}. This, to said people, effectively makes a good portion of the first game pointless. Interestingly enough, when Phoenix sees Edgeworth again in 2-4, he assumes Edgeworth quit because his perfect win record was tarnished, when actually, in 1-5, particularly on the third day of investigations and the last trial segment, Edgeworth is already questioning himself and admits shame over his [[Amoral Attorney]] past and fear that he might become like Manfred Von Karma and Damon Gant in the future.

** Well, to be fair, the backstory supposedly being [[Retcon|retconed]] has a possible explanation in that, while {{spoiler|Edgeworth might not have intentionally forged evidence, but he probably used all of vonKarma's ''other'' dirty tactics like witness manipulation and illegal searches}}. No idea for the point right above this, though, as you'd think Phoenix would be a bit more understanding of Edgey after 1-4 at least, even if 1-5 wouldn't have happened...

* [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]: When you show Lana Skye the Attorney's Badge, she comments that the gold plating will flake off in a few years, then we'll see the ''real'' Phoenix. The conversation ends like this:
