Judging by your avatar, I'm guessing you dislike how the Judge looks like. I mean I don't disagree with you in regards of his iOS sprite, but that's hardly a reason to dismiss this. I mean, the fact that the sprites use only 2 frames of animation unlike the the original's 3 frames is the bigger issue with the iOS sprites.

The only thing that bothers me really is the blinking animations. They're clearly only 2 frames where the originals were 3. I mean, why couldn't they just add that 1 extra frame in there?
I probably won't get the trilogy as I only need the DS release of JFA and I want to give them all to a friend so she can try the series.
i'd probably get it if it wasn't e-shop exclusive
i've already played them all twice so i don't need to play them again anytime soon
It's nice that it's dual-language, I'd like to see this more often generally (though I can't read Japanese).

From what I understand, the iOS sprites were direct rips of the entire concept art (which was to be used for digitally creating the original sprites).
Since this game apparently lacks a frame, I assume it would be due to [I]that frame[/I][I] not existing in the concept art in the first place, but was created after the fact.
[/I]They literally didn't make any new graphics for this game, so that's why I think it wouldn't exist.
Although they would never do this, I think it would be rad as hell if they remade the original trilogy in 3D on the DD engine, along with a new orchestral cover of the soundtrack. Obviously not with any of the new investigation mechanisms.
I think I can overlook the sprites. I've been meaning to play through the trilogy again.
I'm guessing the music from the trailer is not used in the game.
I'm still waiting for the trilogy on Android, was supposed to happen over a year ago.
No longer have a DS so can't play them anymore.

Why not just buy the physical games? I really don't see any upside to this aside from not having to change cartridges. This version zooms in and letterboxes the screen just to compensate for the different aspect ratio, doesn't have any reworked textures, or even have any reworked audio. Even missing a frame of animation just screams of mediocrity.

If you play a DS game on a 3DS it's either tiny or blurry, depending on whether you press the button combo to make it look bearably or not.
This is most likely better, unless you also have a DS to play the cartridge games on.

Well, unless you want to play in your native, non-J/EN language, in which case you probably need the original ones.
I [I]think[/I] I saw it marked as English in the German e-shop at least.
From what I understand, they updated the English scripts for the Trilogy to sound more natural, to fix any errors and to be more canonically accurate.
Atleast, that's how it is for the English release. The original English script is intact in the Japanese version.

I play all of them on my 3DS
They aren't blurry. The screen has a larger resolution so the game is upscaled. None of that post-processing effects.

It's probably a matter of preference, but the scaling factor isn't a whole number so there's no way to do it without blurring the screen a bit.
Did they ever do more with Apollo and those characters
I really liked Kristoph and Klavier

Klavier and Apollo are in Dual Destinies.
[QUOTE=NiandraLades;46723988]Did they ever do more with Apollo and those characters

DD gave Apollo a tiny bit of backstory (only really revealing a "childhood" friend)
And Klavier has an appearance for a case. It lead to an interesting scene, but they didn't really do anything with him past that. He merely existed for the rest of the stories sake.
Trucy got reduced down to [I]primarily [/I]magic panties jokes
Kristoph and the rest don't get brought up. Everyone else is new characters.
It's a shame AJ didn't get its own spin-offs and got merged with PW instead. I haven't played DD Yet, though, so I'll see how I feel after.
It's still a solid game, but it still isn't the same as the originals
However DD has a godly soundtrack
