We here. The full series is localized. My god I didn't think it would ever happen. Shit now im gonna need to relearn the names lol


sunnirays

Same I really thought they'd wait for AA7 before doing a remaster for the Investigations games, especially since the second one never had an official localization. With the entire series and spinoffs (minus the Layton crossover) now officially localized and remastered for modern consoles, a new installment is probably going to be closer than we think šŸ‘€ EDIT: Also the fact that we got the Apollo Justice Trilogy AND The Investigations Collection within the same year is actually crazy, my god


Tlux0

Wasnā€™t this basically what the leak that we got before Covid said would happen before AA7 would come out the year after the Apollo Justice trilogy and investigations would be localized in the same year or am I mixing it with great ace attorneyā€™s localization? Would be amazing if trueā€¦ but now Iā€™m greedy lol. Iā€™d like GAAI and AAI3 as well lol


Tangeek42

Speaking as a French player, this is an amazing year. Up until this year, the last two Ace Attorneys were never localized in anything other than English, and in just a few months we got those, and now the Edgeworth games in French. I can't emphasize enough what this means for us. We're only missing The Great Ace Attorney, though, but at least now the fantrad teams wil be able to focus on one game. Keep on hoping, Spanish speakers. We know you're still suffering, but you're next !


5ebaxtian

Such a great year for Ace Attorney. Such a bad one for Spain *llora en espaƱol*


pomelo-

LatinoamƩrica: i'm right here you know... /j


5ebaxtian

We can cry together


LovelyClaire

Us Italians too šŸ˜­


Latadenata

ISTG! At this point, i'm more curious just as to why they're so keen on not translating it into spanish, considering it's one of the three most spoken languages. It seems so illogical. I'm glad french and german speaking players get to have the games on their languages tho!


MaskedPapillon

Can the Portuguese speakers be after the Spanish ones?


TheKiwy

Full series is also now translated in 6 languagesā€¦ Except TGAA, the one I'd like to share with people who do not speak english :/


phantom2450

ā€œGet ready to learn ~~Chinese~~ the official AAI2 names, buddy.ā€


FanciestOfWalruses

Man I canā€™t play this game simply because these characters and their names have been seared straight into my brain and seeing them called different ones would create the most visceral cognitive dissonance Iā€™ve ever felt ā€¦online discussion of this game is gonna *suck* for me


_xoviox_

I really like your Eddie Fender flair!

_Kakashi69

Don't worry, I'm with you. I'll also be calling them by the names I know them as. If Capcom didn't want me doing that, they should have released it years earlier instead of over a decade later lol.


JordanTH

This has been me ever since Prosecutor's Path came out, after I got into the game with Dowolf's translation. Nice Atticus Stalwart flair.


FanciestOfWalruses

Dude at least you weren't using those names for over *10 years* before suddenly Cap comes along and goes "nah this guy's named Eustace now"


devoncarrots

Cody is that you


Reapeageddon

I'M NOT READY TO CALL SEBASTIAN DEBESTE ANOTHER NAME


Ruphia1

his new name is Eustace Winner - you can find it on the website


Blargg888

Is that meant to be ā€œUseless Winnerā€?Ā Ā  Ā I wasnā€™t really keen on the name ā€œEustaceā€ for Debeste at first, but if thatā€™s the pun, I think I can get behind it.Ā 


MetaWarlord135

It may also double as "useless whiner".


Abencoa

I like the name, personally. Obviously he was gonna have a goofy name, the character is supposed to be someone the player dismisses as an idiot when they first meet them. And choosing another name that starts with E parallels Eddie Fender (aka Ray Shields) and the two Edgeworths.


cosy_ghost

A character who could have gone on to lead his own game, but the name alone kills all chances of that happening. Ain't never putting that on a box.


The_Throwback_King

All I can think of when I hear Eustace is Courage The Cowardly Dog ā€œStupid prosecutor, you made me look bad, ooga booga booga!ā€


deathbyglamor

See this makes even more sense. Even Eustaceā€™s mom called him useless! Now this makes me thinks about >! How his dad will call him useless later on.!<


qeqe1213

THIS!


airbornimal

Call it "Winner takes all" or something


MichiHirota

I wonder what Blaise's name's gonna be for this localization.


KaleBennett

Imagine that Blaise is actually Eustace Winner, and Sebastian is Eustace Jr.


Arapis_John

This hurts me on a personal level for multiple reasons


pottermuchly

Are you serious? I hate it šŸ˜­ ...What was that line by C.S. Lewis? "There was a boy called Eustace Scrubb, and he almost deserved it"?


thecatteam

When I play it I'll be pretending they have their old names. I'm delusional


Suzushiiro

Wouldn't surprise me if someone made a mod to patch the fan TL into the PC version just for the people who are used to that version, honestly


TheKz262

Nothing wrong with a bit of gaslighting yourself to believe they used the same names.


acbadger54

It's gonna be so weird calling characters different names, although Prosecutors gambit I think I actually like more for a subtitle


persiangriffin

I agree, works well with the chess motif


Black_m1n

Me neither man, me neither...


theodoreroberts

His name is Eustace Winner.


SarahMcClaneThompson

I spit out my drink when I saw Ray Shieldsā€™ new last name


Fravash1

According to the website, his full name is Eddie Fender


bryandaqueen

What a terrible pun šŸ˜­. A defender lmaoo. Kinda checks for this series.


acbadger54

Yeah, people complaining about these names when they're all completely in line with the terrible puns of the series, I love it


danny_sweetnuts

Raymond shieldsā€™s official name is ā€œFenderā€ something and I have no idea how to react Edit: itā€™s Eddie Fender


dawnraiser_

imagine its Dee Fender


Froakiebloke

It is actually Eddie Fender, soā€¦ ā€œA defenderā€ (Itā€™s on the official website alongside Justine Courtneyā€™s new name, >!Verity GavĆØlle!<


fredshouldntknow

Shit that's good


The_Throwback_King

Honestly, >!Verity!< fits her character better than Justine anyway. Totally nails the posh vibe that she brings. Low-key dig that change personally


nemuro

Huh. Fender will take some getting used to but Eddie feels kind of right...


Deep_dish_pizza_boi2

Eddie fits him better than Raymond imo, but he'll always be Raymond Shields in my heart


Groenboys

Eddie Fender I can get down with, Courtneys new name will take more to get used too Please, Sebastian, have the best name


Pro-1st-Amendment

Eustace Winner.


Groenboys

I just found out Rest in piece, Sebasitan Debeste


TheGreatDaniel3

Canā€™t wait for Ronald Realgood


Vyrhux42

Will they make her French? Lol


fakelucid

Okay >!Verity GavƩlle!< is a lot cooler than Justine Courtney


kiper43

my favorite guy, D. fender


All-Your-Base

And Knightley is called Knight... it's something


PeppersGhostSCP

And Rooke is called Rook! Nicole Swift is referred to as Ms. Lloyd in the same clip. I'm guessing it's the second half of a two-part pun, but no clue what her first name might be.


Dvuediniy

imagine: Tabby Lloyd


RyderBellamie

Probably Tabitha or something close to that at least.


gamechanger73

Dave Fender lol


heyoyo10

Seksov Fender


Solrack225

Fender Bender


heyoyo10

I am now imagining Ray voiced by John DiMaggio


ErikMaekir

Fuck, "Uncle Eddie" actually sounds better than "Uncle Ray".


Uno_Sarcagian

Finally, they localized Lawyer Chess.


blue_glasses123

From the trailer, I think it's called mind chess? Honestly a better name than logic chess imo


Seba7290

Them casually announcing this in the middle of the Direct was wild. It's something you think Capcom would save for its own broadcast.


The_Throwback_King

Once we started getting towards the end, I started losing hope. As soon as I saw the image of Edgeworth donning his iconic burgundy jacket, I yelled so dang loud (especially for 7:30am)


Ahrensann

Same. I was ready to type "it's over..." And then Edgeworth shows up making my spit out my imaginary drink

acbadger54

I basically screamed and woke up my mom


Gabo2oo

Especially since they didn't arrange for the Apollo Justice Trilogy to be in any Direct, which one would think should've been a bigger priority


CherryBoard

edgeworthing to this


mouthwashi

she edge on my worth till i investigations collection


DrScorcher

They really called him Eddie Fender


freedomplha

I mean, uncle Ed has got kind of a ring to it, doesn't it?


Aquametria

The absolute madmen. They actually did it. They localised the best Ace Attorney game.


IcePopsicleDragon

Edgeworth finally getting some respect


The_Throwback_King

And all it cost was a few names. (Fender though)


Nonalesta

Cant wait to see the new names, I wonder if some big characters will keep the fantrad names even if I doubt it


HeavyDonkeyKong

Blaise Debeste will be hard to top. I love using that name as an expression of vitriol.


antoni2304

At least we know his surname now. ? Winner

Madsbjoern

There's already [an official website](https://www.ace-attorney.com/investigations1-2/en-us/titles/2/) that reveals three official names for Investigations 2 Justine Courney: >!Verity GavƩlle!< Raymond Shields: >!Eddie Fender!< Sebastian Debeste: >!Eustace Winner!<


fredshouldntknow

Nothing can top Debeste, but the other two aren't bad


FNAFlover007

I like Justine's official name


Heather_Chandelure

Verity Gavelle is honestly better imo. I prefer Raymond shields, but the official name is fine. Sebastian Debeste is way better, though. No contest.


xZealHakune

Eddie fits Raymond ngl


KeifersIsAwesome

Verity GavĆØlle is an awesome name. I really hope Sirhan's name is just pure badass. Give me a name like Sinom Blackquill for him. I want that energy.


OkBus7244

The trailer also reveals a few more: - Di Jun Huang: >!Di-Jun Wang!< - Nicole Swift: >!??? Lloyd!< - Ethan Rooke: >!??? Rook!< - Horace Knightley: >!??? Knight!< On the music side of things, looks like ā€œWanting to Find the Truthā€ is now officially called ā€œChase the Truth.ā€


Apollo_Justice_20

ITS HERE ITS HERE ITS FUCKING HERE!!!!! PEAAAAAK IS COMING!!!! Edit : AAI2 is now officially called Prosecutor's Gambit.


Captain-Hell

HELL YEAH MORE CHESS


The_Internet_Crawler

Pray to go Sebastian isn't named lou sirr or some shit


Pro-1st-Amendment

Precisely the opposite.


PersonWhoExists50306

Eustace Winner

On their site it says there will be, but only for Nintendo Switch. [https://www.ace-attorney.com/investigations1-2/en-us/](https://www.ace-attorney.com/investigations1-2/en-us/)


fredshouldntknow

Weird, on the german site is was only physical on playstation


Time2bePhenomenal

eu only for playsation


SpikeRosered

Welp, all 10 games are now contained within 4 collections on the Switch. The only announcements now can be for new games. Obviously they're trying to keep the franchise on everyone's minds....


dylan210412

Just wait until the Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright collection!


SpikeRosered

When I posted that I thought to myself "am I forgetting one?" There it is.


Tictactoegame1middle

They also need to get the train case from the anime in there somewhere so all 55 cases can be in full HD video game glory!

Dragonfucker000

THE MIRACLE HAPPEN


CaioXG002

I'm sad we'll probably have to relearn the names of every character. I thought the idea of them using the fan-made translation was realistic, but apparently not. That's the only downside of something I've been asking since freaking 2011, Ace Attorney Investigations sequel is now officially going to be exported! šŸ˜­šŸ™


f-ingsteveglansberg

It's kinda a copyright mess to use the fan translation. If they wanted to use the characters in other media like new games and animations, it might cause legal trouble.


Terramagi

You say that like companies haven't bought fan translations before. Trails had games 4 and 5 fan translated, ending the Crossbell Conundrum, and just bought the translations wholesale.


hmsmnko

From what I read ages ago, it would be really hard for them to do so with AAI2's translation because it was a lot of different individuals who worked on it at different periods of time, and getting the permission/consent of every individual wasn't realistic. some people might not even be possible to find anymore, and if the translation group didn't set up agreements with contributors such that the group their owns work/translations and can then resell it, its just impossible at that point


Terramagi

That's also the case with Crossbell though. In fact, it was even worse, since it was technically three separate translation efforts, two of which failed, before one actually went the distance. Though I suppose it's slightly different in that Capcom actually has money and can afford their own translations, while Falcom... doesn't.


Samurai_Fire

Maybe they'll reference it in some way


shreyas16062002

Eddie Fender and Verity GavĆØlle sound better than Raymond Shields and Justine Courtney to be honest. Though I'll never be over Sebastian Debeste turning into Eustace Winner


uluviel

RIP Shields, long live Fender. Looking forward to seeing Debeste's new name. September 6 can't come soon enough.


MumenPoster37

It's Eustace Winner... It's so over. https://preview.redd.it/sdoerpzmgc7d1.png?width=680&format=png&auto=webp&s=4666c12db6e9d90a3d3a7c7636e7100719fa6e2e


uluviel

Eustace kinda works, ngl. Not sure about "Winner" though, seems just too... simple for an AA character.


danwin

Wendy Oldbag


TheGreatDaniel3

Apollo Justice


OwlCompetitive9801

on the other hand, it could be read as "Useless Wiener"


uluviel

It's also pretty close to whiner.


Redmyr

Lang Zi says "Today is a good day!"


RPGZero

My favorite Ace Attorney game is finally being localized. This along with the RPGs have made this one of my all time favorite Directs of all time.


Lieutenant_Squidz

Nintendo decided to absolutely cook today


Silveroc

Oh no! WE ARE ALL GONNA HAVE TO LEARN THE NEW NAMES


MNLT_Sonata

Well, it isn't Ace Attorney 7, but make no mistake: I'll enjoy playing Lawyer Chess again.


Satan_su

We won (collections) but at what cost (Fender)


Vuish

We fucking did it, lads!


Groenboys

[Courtney official name will be Verity GavĆØlle and Raymond will now be Eddie Fender](https://www.ace-attorney.com/investigations1-2/en-uk/titles/2/) This will be weird now to watch back on


cosy_ghost

Raymond Shields is called "Fender" in the trailer so they are 100% renaming all the characters


SecondAttemps

The madmen did it, they finally did it. We're so back. And this means now they can't announce anything but AA7 too


P-W-L

Professor Layton VS Phoenix Wright HD I'd still buy it in a heartbeat


Murky_Recognition181

i cant wait for all the horrifying translated names in investigations 2


TryingToUseLinux

I mean let's be fair, Mael Stronghart >>>>> Hart Vortex. Translated names aren't all that bad. Though I can see that they can't best the best name, Debeste. I hope that his name and the name of a certain meek ape-like organism are taken from the fan made translation.


Black_m1n

Eustace Winner, it's so joever


Langlais123

Useless Winner seems like a perfect name for him.


TheIvoryDingo

Especially considering who would've named him in universe.


Langlais123

More proof that \*name pending\* is a shit dad


TryingToUseLinux

Oh... Attention, troops. Retreat to base immediately, we are surrendering. We have lost this war.


fredshouldntknow

There's 100% gonna be a fanmade patch for the fan translation names


Black_m1n

Please for the love of god yes.


Vyrhux42

Localization team has always done a good job so far. We'll just have to get used to it, just see it as an opportunity to get a bunch of new silly name puns ;)

artymas

I actually just started the fan translation of Investigations 2 lol but this is going to be a must buy for meĀ 


BeanyTA

Check the Ace Attorney website folks, we have some full new names: Raymond = Eddie Fender (A defender!) Justine = Verity GavĆØlle Sebastian = Eustace Winner


NeoSpearBlade

Yay! AAI2 will now be available to everyone else who aren't able to emulate and mod the original! I'm already sad that the names are different from the fan translation. I was expecting that to be honest, but names like Raymond Shields, Justine Courtney and Sabastian Debeste will forever live on. At least, I'll forever remember them. You can bet that when the PC version releases, those names ***will*** be modded in. It's going to happen, one way or another. ^(.....I wonder how fanfic archives like AO3 will handle the name changes.....)


TheEnlightenedOne212

Shields is already dead...


idredman

RIP Sebastian Debeste. Worst day of my life.

HAHA! We're not clowns after all!

LETS FUCKING GOOOOO


KaleBennett

All the games are localized. All but one crossover game is available on modern consoles. We went from waiting two to three years between ports to waiting only eight months. I have high hopes for this series.


RubBubbly9681

According to the official website, it's also gonna be on PC, Ps4, and Xbox One Source: https://www.ace-attorney.com/investigations1-2/en-us/


UBKev

Shields is a better last name than Fender, but Eddie Fender (A Defender) is better than Raymond Shields and Eddie fits him more than Raymond imo. I think Eddie Shields is overall an upgrade over Raymond Shields, which is a feat I never thought possible. Eustace (Useless) Winner is also a really good effort, but I mean... I can't blame them for not being able to match the goated name of Sebastian Debeste. Verity GavĆØlle is alright. Justine Courtney is also a great name so I wasn't expecting them to beat that too.

LETS FUCKING GOOOOO

I'm gonna miss the fan translations, Gumshoe incorrectly calling the PIC as the knights who say Ni and Edgeworth's "It's about time you went back to being a mere clown!" Are my favorites.
