I'm not leaving Bleach, I'm just branching out

[effervescible]

A pair of new* fandom notes:

1. As much as I love Phoenix/Edgeworth, and as much as I love Mia/Diego, my first fic for the Ace Attorney/Gyakuten Saiban fandom is all about Mia and college!Feens. Huh. I guess my dorklove outweighs my appreciation for this ships. Or it did today. (Yes, I was at work today, but I had no tasks and my boss has been out of the office for a few days. I would LOVE to have more to do, but until then I fic.) Now I'm all nervous about posting it. New fandoms are scary.

2. Even though I think I like Trials & Tribulations-era Phoenix the bestest, dahskjghascvasdyuwydgoq I am absurdly attracted to hobo!Phoenix. As much as one can be to a character who exists in official art and game sprites, I mean. Stupid sexy stubble. STOP SNIGGERING, KELLEY, I CAN HEAR YOU.

*I finished the original trilogy ages ago and Apollo Justice a month or so back, so the games aren't new to me. Just the fandom.

YES it's amazing. I love Godot so much.

Apollo Justice scares me a bit. I still don't have it.

I LUFFLES HIM AND PLAN TO FIC HIM

Apollo Justice has some very cool aspects to it--overall I liked it, though T&T had better writing. Some bits are depressing, considering what happens to Phoenix, but towards the end they show that he's not quite as different as he initially acts. So that was good.

I almost bought it at Comic-Con but they were charging FULL RETAIL at the CapCom booth. WHY CAPCOM, I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME.

[jaina.livejournal.com]

That's just wrong.

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

The older games were cheaper. Bastards!

[jaina.livejournal.com]

Older games in general or the older Ace Attorney games? Cuz I would've bought copies to resell if it's the latter. Those things are hard to find now.

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

Both, though I think maybe they only had Trials and Tribulations. Damn!

[jaina.livejournal.com]

Ah, that's the best one, though so heartbreaking.

Playing Miles Edgeworth, Ace Defense Attorney was so satisfying.

Deeply so. I mean, it was fucking hilarious--I loved getting his mental commentary on absolutely everything. But it was also awesome that he got to live his boyhood dream, even for a little while. And omg, getting to play as MIA. TWICE. I wife her hard now. I really want them to make a prequel game that takes place between the trial where she nails Dahlia and the first AA game, in which Mia is the main attorney and law school student Phoenix plays the Maya-assistant role as her court intern or something. I would pay SO MUCH MONEY for that.

Mia is SO MUCH WIN seriously. She's so competent! It was disconcerting playing someone who actually knew what she was doing.

Oooh, that would be AWESOME.
