Co-Mod: Sorry for almost missing this letter, first and foremost.
As an introvert, I don’t show much personality most of the time, but I do see myself in the quirks of the Ace Attorney cast every now and then. Sometimes I just want a break from what I’m dealing with, like Phoenix...
...sometimes I get overemotional when things don’t go my way, like Larry...
...sometimes I get too excited when they do go my way, like Pearly...
...and sometimes I struggle not to explode in a fiery inferno that’s visible from space, like...well, like a lot of characters.
But the character I relate most to, as I’ve mentioned several times before, is good old Ms. Cykes.
She’s got skill and ambition, but still struggles in her self-confidence every now and then, and right now, that describes me perfectly. (I hope the first part does, at least.)
Co-Mod: Thanks, I guess. *blows a noisemaker half-heartedly*
Co-Mod: I might be willing to share that ship, oddly enough, except for the fact that I've already played through most of the Professor Layton series, so...yeah. It’s probably not gonna work.
(I still need to finish it, don’t I?)
Co-Mod: I...honestly can’t say I know. If things go my way, I’ll be doing something I love (or at least enjoy), like drawing/animating for a TV show or video game, writing music, or possibly even working on a game development team. If Ace Attorney (and life) have taught me anything, though, it’s that no one can predict the future, so maybe I’ll be doing something completely different.
As far as TV shows go (I’m allowed to answer both, right?), most of my favorites were the classic ones, like Green Acres, The Andy Griffith Show, and just about any Looney Tunes cartoon. I also enjoyed a lot of Nickelodeon’s shows, like Hey Arnold!, Doug, and that one about the sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea. What was his name again...?
Mod Paups: Mmm for TV shows I’d say Dragon Ball is what I mainly watched, and maybe Pokemon, but that’s about it. I’m not certain where I see myself in 10 years, hopefully it’s good!
Dear Starry again (again),
Co-Mod: I’m guessing you mean this one. Thanks for waiting to see if it showed up. For anyone else who’s wondering if your letter fell victim to Tumblr's glitchery or not, letters now take roughly 3 weeks to get answered, so feel free to resubmit it if you don’t see it after that long.
Co-Mod: Technically, DGS2 letters are still off limits, but I sometimes dance around that rule if the letter is only about DGS2, and not addressed to a character from that game. Let’s just say that letters like that may or may not get answered, so only send them if you’re feeling lucky.
The other Mods are starting school, so I’ve mostly been on my own, and I’m balancing this blog with two part-time jobs, so...you (collectively) can probably expect a few more errors in the near future.
Co-Mod: Let me just start by saying that if this isn’t one of the nicest compliments we’ve received (and we’ve received quite a few), it’s definitely a contender.
I’m just happy we’re still able to do it with everything else we’re going through (not to mention everything the world’s been through lately), so thanks a million for your support!
Co-Mod: None in particular, but I do sort of miss answering letters to the Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney cast. They have their own unique sort of charm.
Mod Paups: Well in my case I looove love answering letters addressed to any of the antagonists, specially Damon Gant. He has to be my favorite character to write as, he’s just so fun!
Co-Mod: I’m guessing what they’re referring to is the “culprit feels remorse in the end” concept in each case. I definitely prefer Marlon’s breakdown over Acro’s, mostly because Marlon put up more of a fight, plus he showed a lot more emotion. We also didn’t have to cycle through a bunch of profiles and evidence just to remind a clown about a magician’s three symbols, so there’s that, too.
Mod Paups: Honestly? I don’t feel as if Turnabout Reclaimed succeeded or was better? And if I had to choose, I prefer Big Top over Reclaimed. I guess it’s just a matter of tastes.
Co-Mod: I repeat myself, but...thanks a million!
It’s been an honor to take what Ace Admin and the Mod created and keep it going for so long. I’m just glad we’re still gaining followers and make the characters sound like themselves.
Here’s the letter you mentioned, by the way. Pretty trollish, if you ask me.
Co-Mod: Me too, pal, me too. Looks like it’s finally time to accept this certificate of death for the Ace Attorney series.
(I could be wrong, of course.)
But hey, at least the fandom’s still as alive and well as ever, as evidenced by this very blog!
Never let the flame die out, folks.
Co-Mod: Are you kidding me? My answer to both ideas is YES!!! I’d like to see a shopping scene and I’d LOVE an open world Ace Attorney game! Heck, I’d be fine with an anime retelling of AJ, DD, and/or SoJ, an Ace Attorney-themed chess game, Lisa Basil Teaches Typing... JUST GIVE US SOMETHING, CAPCOM!!!
While we’re on the subject, I once had a dream where I was playing a point-and-click adventure game similar to King’s Quest VII, with Maya as a playable character. I’d pay a huge sum for that if it became a reality.
