Many consider this to be the best game in the franchise, though I have a soft spot for the first game which may still be my favorite. These games just know how to pull you in their different stories and mysteries. Often times I would try to figure out the conclusion in advance with many layers of twists, only for there to be that one extra layer I didn't see coming. Godot was a big highlight in T&T... I feel like drinking a nice cup of coffee now.
Minor nitpick, the game's name is Phoenix Wright: *Ace Attorney* − Trials and Tribulations (as YouTube already says right under the description)
Yes you're right, but I've cut it short for the sake of not having an overly long title. I do this for other series as well, like Zelda where I don't put the "The Legend of" in front.
I love all the games but if I had to pick an order: AA>T&T>SoJ>JFA>DD>AJ
Metripleone What about AAI? Where would you put that one?
Had these going in the background while working from home. This came on while I was enjoying an afternoon coffee. Weird. T&T is one of my favourite games in the series and Godot is a big part of that. He's a great character.
Hmm, can really go for some jelly filled doughnuts now. *Looks at Sushi*
the song hints there is a bit of sweetness in the coffee hheeh
SPOILERS I don't recall how the characters react to the fact that Godot killed Maya's mother. Seems no one resents him.
If I remember correctly he didn't have much choice at the time. I wish we didn't actually had to prosecute him!
More or less. It was less killing her, and more "killing vengeful ghost that happened to be wearing her body."

After hearing his backstory, this theme changed from being jazzy cool to super sad.
pretty underwhelming they never show godot's scar in his face in the end haha
Godot's mask fucking explodes!
but you dont see his faaaacee
I cry evrtim
I like my coffee like as I like this song....strong
You know, I had never listened to the original versions of those songs, only the Turnabout Jazz Soul ones, which I obviously absolutely love. These are pretty great too, but it feels like too much of a downgrade, unfortunately.
I honestly hope that Capcom expands on the anime for this series. I absolutely loved watching the Ace Attorney anime and thought that they did a great job making the transition. To be fair though, I felt that this series would make a smooth transition to becoming an anime.
Eric C. Is there an anime??? whaaaat
Yes there is an anime. It can be found on Crunchyroll.
Well Season 2 should be right up your alley then.
I didn't even like coffee yet by the time I played this.
I used to put this one in my driving playlist, whenever i felt stressed, this one relieved all the tensions
I love this theme for so many different reasons.
*starts to slide coffee to everyone in the comments* Let's go guys! We need to chug down 17 cups of coffee before the end of this trial!
I don't drink coffee often but I don't mind a free cup.
This is my favorite game in the series and Godot is the main reason. He quotes the Rock for gods sake
To be honest, I hated Godot. He's honestly the worst character in the entire series. But I will admit, his theme is nice.
Oh? What is it about Godot that makes you think he's the worst?
He's pretentious, very childish (who throws their coffee mug at someone and calls them "Trite"?), and... well spoilers, but let's just say his involvement in the last case and leave it at that.
I'm afraid I may have stopped indefinitely because I'm too busy working on my projects, that the hobby of Golden VGM has to be put on the backburner.
Thank you! Honestly, if I do return, I might just start over. A lot of the choices in my list were pretty insincere, and I would do it again proper.
Meh I dunno.
T+T Spoilers . . . . I think the main idea behind how Godot acted as a prosecutor was to hint that he isn't really a prosecutor, and his main objectives for becoming a prosecutor was to humiliate Phoenix for failing to protect the love of his life, and protect Maya. I'd say calling him "Trite" and throwing coffee at him is a solid way of meeting one of those two goals. Godot succeeded at the other one in the final trial too, as well as getting revenge for Mia. I can't remember exactly why it had to be then, but it probably had something to do with that obscure plan and the possibility of him getting away from it without being fingered for murder. That said, he was my favorite prosecutor to be up against because he was mostly chill even if he was demeaning Phoenix. He did his part to guide Phoenix (albeit in a tough-love kind of way) to the truth, and the only difference there was that instead of being behind the defense booth with him, he was at the other end of the court room. He was never actually on top of the case like Edgeworth and Von Karma, and investigated the case much like how Phoenix did. In court, he made sure that Phoenix backed up his bluffs with evidence rather than just letting him control the case with them. Finding out the truth at the end was worth it, because after a whole game of belittling and demeaning you, Godot finally showed respect and called Phoenix by his actual name. I don't think he's a bad character, just a bad prosecutor, and there's a good reason for it.
I love this song
