Like, basically no one runs this game, but that ain't gonna stop me from bragging about it.
That is cool

I suppose this would be the best place to put my topic because it is very random but does anyone know where the Von Karma's are from in the German translation? I know in the Japanese version, they are from America, and in English version they are from Germany, but where are they from in the German translation? I am just curious as Franzy and Miles are my favorites and it just entered my mind the other day (I did try to look this up but knowing how to say good morning in German and nothing else meant I didn't understand what was being said on youtube so I couldn't figure it out :cute: :fran: )

They're from Germany in the German translation; I suppose they chose not to localize.

Oh cool! Strange they choose not to localise because that was always the thing that made them different in other translations but thanks for answering!

The thing that made them different? but I presume they're still "different" in the German translation, though; I presume the German version takes place in the United States.

Is there ever a moment in the games in which they state the nation in which they reside? I could go check a let's play of that part and see what the German version says

I haven't played the games in a while but I don't think there is, we know in the English version it is set in Calforina but we just get told Germany for them

I don't know if it is ever mentioned but that seems to be where everyone says it is set (I haven't played the games in ages so I can't remember if they ever say that exactly, just where I always hear people say it is)

(A hidden bar in downtown Durham. OLAF sits alone at the bar, nursing a lemon gose.
A BARTENDER stands watching, cleaning glasses. The other customers have left.)


BARTENDER
Need me to top that off for you?

OLAF
Would you?

BARTENDER
Sure thing.

(BARTENDER pours more lemon gose. The mug holds more than you'd think.)

BARTENDER
You know, you remind me of this person, back on Ace Attorney Online.

(OLAF takes a sip.)

OLAF
Ace Attorney Online? Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time. A long time.

BARTENDER
You know it?

OLAF
(tapping forehead)
Xat? Unas? Daan? :atmey: ? :machi: ? It's all up here. All up here. Forgot it was up there, to be honest.

BARTENDER
'Fraid you lost me.

OLAF
I used to be a bigshot.

BARTENDER
Is that right?

OLAF
I'm telling you, I used to be a count. Used to have a house, three kids, all adopted. We went on adventures.

BARTENDER
I saw that on the news.

OLAF
Had a tattoo on my ankle too. Got it laser removed.

BARTENDER
You burned their house down.

OLAF
Now I'm just a snowman qui ne parle qu'un peu français.

BARTENDER
A snowman?

OLAF
I had to look up whether you'd use "de" there or not.

BARTENDER
You know, I speak a little bit of Spanish.

OLAF
Right-- of Spanish.

BARTENDER
Yeah, buenas noches, or something like that.

OLAF
(sips gose, snow melting)
Something like that.

Was this thread MADE for me? 'Cause it sure feels like it.

Anyway, bunny rabbits.
If I’m wrong, don’t get mad. I’m just a girl trying to figure out life and be lazy while doing it. So far, it’s not working.

I love music and being online too much.

The summer of 2014, I was 10 years old, and I was home alone one afternoon. I was watching YouTube videos in my room with the door closed. I thought I heard someone, so I hollered, but I got no reply. Then my mother and brother arrived home and saw that there had been a burglary. After that, I was scared of being home alone. In the mornings, I would go to school, lie on the floor in the library, and browse twitter on my phone for an hour, just so I wouldn’t have to be home alone.
