Court Records :: Level-5 is working towards a PLvsAA release in EU/US : Trial Minutes

Quelque chose est en train de se faire mais je ne peux pas vous en dire plus aujourd'hui. Soyez patient.

Something's in the works, but I can't talk about it today. Please be patient.

日野氏はカプコンとのコラボレーションで制作された『レイトン教授VS逆転裁判』についてもフランスでの発売に向け制作を進めていると明言。

This is exciting! If it's coming to France then I would assume that it's coming to the UK, since Layton is HUGE there, and I can't imagine that they would translate a full English version and not bring it to the US in some form. So this news probably means an English version will eventually be coming!

They didn't with Last Window, visual novels aren't as big in the US.

I remember hearing an infamous review of FF7 when it was first out that complained about it having so many words and reading to less gameplay.

However even if it doesn't get English...I think I could TRY French I have a grasp of that.

I hope that English ver. will be released. I can't understand French...

This looks promising! I think if it comes to France it'll come to the UK as well!

Level-5's American Facebook page has acknowledged the comment. It's looking promising!

I've never played a Layton game...are they any good? Is this crossover any good? 'Cause if it is...this is good news.

Yes. Start with Curious Village, and then play the four other games.

Alright I'll check it out. But what's with the crossover? I saw one trial about a witch but I didn't understand any more than that - are the cases here any good?

Why do I feel like a noob for asking questions?

But what's with the crossover?

The Layton games are all about solving puzzles, so what they did with the crossover is combine the two different types of gameplay. So there are trial sequences, and investigation sequences. In the trial ones you obviously play as Wright, pointing out flaws and contradictions in peoples testimonies, while in the investigation sequences you play as Layton, interviewing townspeople and solving puzzles.

Quote:

But what's with the crossover?

The Professor Layton series was loosely built off of Ace Attorney. Layton was created with Phoenix Wright in mind.
So for the creators, it was only natural to have a crossover.

Quote:

We also get to see Phoenix object to puzzles (and solve them, I believe). Layton also gets to be in court next to Phoenix sometimes.

Here's just another alternate opinion: you should try and start with professor layton and the curious Village, but if you don't like it/get bored then try professor layton and the last specter. It has a much better and more detailed story and the puzzles are less obnoxious. Also it's chronologically the first story in the series so you don't have to worry about starting in a weird spot.

I tried curious village and hated it, then switched to the prequels and think they're great, so it worked for me.

You should play the trilogies in order. But which one to start with doesn't really matter. But my favorite so far has to be Unwound Future, the trilogy closer. Perfect pacing, more than enough story, a great story and great puzzles. But you should finish the first two in the trilogy first.

I literally checked online every week. :keiko:

The Last Specter was also great, though after the spectacular ending of Unwound Future; I wasn't AS hyped for it. Still, it's a good story and prequels are always hard to do with any series. Miracle Mask I haven't played since I don't have a 3DS, but it still looks like a fresh change from the series. I'm guessing that the upcoming Azran Legacy is going to tie everything together.

I check online every day hoping PL vs AA is going to be localized. :godot:

You need to get a 3DS. You won't be able to play Dual Destinies and the Prof. Layton games! Miracle Mask ranks second in my favorite PL game.
The Azran Legacy looks good... I wonder if it will edge out The Unwound Future for the best PL game.

It's not a formal announcement, nor is it a guarantee, but it looks like Level-5 is moving forward on a European release of Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney. Speaking at the Japan Expo, a French convention dedicated to Japanese pop culture, Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino had this to say on the possibility of the game seeing release in France: Quote: Quelque chose est en train de se faire mais je ne peux pas vous en dire plus aujourd'hui. Soyez patient. Translation wrote: Something's in the works, but I can't talk about it today. Please be patient. Here's hoping that things work out and players in all languages can enjoy the mysteries of Labyrinth City! UPDATE: Looks like Level-5 America's getting in on it as well!

Good. Maybe people can finally stop worrying about the NA release, since they'd be mad to bring it to Europe but not NA. Offhand or not, it's something.

You know I was thinking of something right now. As a French Fan of AA, it's very bizarre to see that Level-5, who done this cross-over listen MORE the fans than Capcom for a Multi-5 Release. By the way, the protest for the Multi-5 AA 5 for Europe is still growing because a English Only version of this game will make the recent fans of AA who are scared/didn't understand well English to not buy the game. I seriously hope that if that game is confirmed to be localized, AA 5 would be. Or CAPCOM is very dumb.

YEAH! This makes me very very happy! This practically confirms the game for localization for the UK and for NA! But this does make me wonder, when do they plan to officially announce the game is being localized and more importantly when would they plan to release the game.

I thought that had more to do with the end of CiNG rather than localization issues And Layton and AA are both bigger franchises than Hotel dusk was. That is certainly true. The Layton series had 5 games, a sixth one for 2014, an iOS spinoff game released in America. The Ace attorney Franchise had 4 main games, one spinoff (not the second on though), and a soon to be released fifth main game released in America. That also, does not count the Wiiware and iOS ports which also made the trip. This is not even remotely comparable to Cing. That is not to say that the game is guaranteed to be released in the West but I would not use Hotel Dusk to make that case.

The thing is, you don't need to know much from the first game to enjoy the others, but you could always wiki the first game.
