An Ideal Ace Attorney Soundtrack

Today, I was listening to my Phoenix Wright/Apollo Justice Playlist on iTunes while working on something. I reached the Trial Intro theme from Ace Attorney (i.e. the first game) when I suddenly thought...

What if I could combine my favorite themes from different parts to make an ideal soundtrack? Of course, it's not exactly easy since the Ace Attorney games excel so greatly in music, but I decided it would be an interesting project anyways.

This is made with the assumption that:
- There would be 5 trials.
- Character themes would NOT necessarily mean the character themselves being in the game, as this is the soundtrack I'm making, NOT the gameplay.
- This is an ideal soundtrack, rather than tying into how the games actually work; e.g. I want more than one "Pursuit" theme throughout the soundtrack, even though they never change within a single game (with one exception).
- More minor songs (e.g. individual case openings, and excluding the Reminiscence and misc. ones at the bottom) won't be listed, as this is meant to be more uniform for one game than listing out a specific game.

And no, I will not use your song(s) instead.

Here's hoping you actually do this and don't procrastinate. I kid. Oh wait, it's done...right?

I've never really played Phoenix Wright games, and listening to the music makes me intrigued. I should probably get at least one game, seeing as there aren't exactly too many great games out.

Wow, it censored Dick Gumshoe. Anyway, the two prosecutor's themes are awesome.

Haha, yes, it is. It was just an hour-long project last night. Really, the only part that made it take more than 20 minutes was that I had to get the links from YouTube and name the songs and link to them and all.

Yes, they're great games, with great music. They are definitely an odd type of game, but they're awesome all the same. They aren't easy to find, but I'd definitely advise getting one. Definitely start with the first one, no matter what. Ideally you could play them in order, but beyond playing the first game first, you probably would be fine.

It's probably a good idea to wait on Apollo Justice until you've finished the three Phoenix Wright games, but thus far I've beaten the first one, gotten to (but haven't started) case 3 of Justice For All, haven't gotten Trials & Tribulations at all, and I'm SUPER close to finishing the third trial of Apollo Justice (which my friend lent to me in order to learn the endearing character traits of Klavier

Hell yes.
