In what must be the greatest of coincidences, a few days before starting Trials and Tribulations I watched a video on archeology that showed the Shichishitō, only to find a certain Ace Detective presumably knocked out by that very same artifact. Can’t find the video any more, but here’s Wikipedia to the rescue:

Unfortunately, the only thing I likely have in common with Maya is the appetite 
.
But what’s more, the article mentions that a replica of the Shichishitō is on display at the War Memorial in Seoul, which is one of the museums we visited the last time we’ve been to Korea. Though we mostly went for a temporary art exhibition and ignored the majority of the other rooms. I did wander through the historic section for a bit, but I don’t remember seeing it.

After about 80 hours (according to Steam) I’m finally done with the trilogy! The final verdict: quite entertaining, if slightly weird (in a good way).
I think quality wise there isn’t much difference between the three parts. I had the impression that the third part was a bit buggy in places, where certain events would not trigger during investigation unless I reloaded the game (on two different occasions). Though that one did do a good job with the cases and the overarching story.
My favorite quote is from part 2, though:
There are quite a number of funny and sometimes unflattering thoughts Phoenix has about various characters. The writing overall is pretty good, actually.
I would certainly play other entries in the series, provided they’ll eventually make their way onto the PC.

That must be exclusive to the remaster. 
Odd. I didn’t face any bugs on the DS original version.
Well, I wouldn’t want to rule out the possibility that it is related to running the game under Wine (or Proton, in that case). At least there aren’t any complaints on Steam about this as far as I can see, so it can’t be a widespread issue. Not that it was all that critical anyway, as just giving up and returning to the game later would actually resolve it. Seemed almost like some sort of race condition at play.
You are now ready to play the next chapter:
Apollo Justice.
The gameplay has new features… and a whole new story.

I do feel ready .
But I’d really like to have a PC version I can run in my Windows emulator 
. I’ve seen there are mobile (phone) versions too, but I’m under the impression that phone apps don’t really have such a long life unless they are continously adapted to newer OSes. And the prices for a (used) DS copy are not very friendly either. 27€ is nearly double the amount I paid for the trilogy. Guess I will have to wait and see what the future holds.

The following is for who has already played Ace Attorney game 2 (aka “Justice for all”), case 1.
You know, the whole case revolves around a word. A (mi)spelled name.
Well… David Fox’s wife, Annie Fox, some time ago used to make videos on YouTube, where she interviewed persons talking about educational stuff.
I loved those videos.
But… what is the relationship with Ace Attorney?
Look at the name of the interviewed…

The main thing that really bugs me is the seemingly unnecessary change to Sherlock Holmes’s name. If that’s a plot point then please DON’T spoil it, but right now I’m wondering why it’s been altered when all the official merchandise I’ve seen uses “Sherlock Holmes.”

Perhaps it’s because in the game you see Sherlock Holmes caring about Iris Watson. (Those are the names in the original Japanese.)

I wondered that too, because in the well-done unofficial English translation made by the Scarlet Study team, the character name is Sherlock Holmes, and it makes sense in the whole game.
By the way, Sherlock Holmes™ is a registered trademark owned by Conan Doyle Estate Limited.
Count me in .
Seeing this, here’s hoping that other games of the series will eventually make it onto PC as well.
Yes, you can have even the trilogy, via Steam.
Well, yes.
