Which is better: Ace Attorney or Danganronpa?
Not trying to start a war, just wondering: Which franchise's better in your opinion?

Personally I love Ace Attorney more. Playing Danganronpa after AA made me realize how predictable the murders were in Danganronpa.

For me it's: DRV3 > AA4 > AA3 > DR2 > AA6 > AA1 > AA5 > DR1 > AA2

I prefer Ace Attorney I guess simply because of the character designs, the setting and the music.

I've tried the first Danganronpa and didn't like it. I didn't find most of the cast very likeable, imagine Phoenix having to interact with the wackiest, over the top witnesses for days... and do S. links with them. And I guess I don't like the tone of the game much, Ace Attorney has life or death moments but a lot of the times it's more like your job to solve cases which is something I much prefer.

Also there's no Pepto Bismol overdose.

I've played the first game out of Danganronpa series and most of the main entries in AA series. So I suppose I should match only first games from each series for more fair comparison.

And as for me: PW:AA>DR:THH

Don't get me wrong. I didn't find the first Danganronpa game to be horrible or unenjoyable. I had some fun with it. But in the end I think that the first AA, despite its falses, was much more engaging for me.

While Danganronpa had more style and craziness, I didn't like how cases were dragged out. As OP says, mysteries in DR were predictable. I had managed to figure out each case long before characters in the game did it. Because of it, I was annoyed by characters' discussions about obvious things and extremely obscure and pointless minigames. Also I ended up not caring about most of the main cast. The resolution of the story was completely ridiculous and almost ruined the whole experience for me.

PW:AA was also sometimes ridiculous and childish. But I still liked it because THOSE silly and crazy moments in AA weren't exaggerated like in Danganronpa.

Ace Attorney has more style, more character built into it, unlike Danganronpa, the game hits you in the feels and and the storyline does an amazing job at breaking people down and making them emotional.

AA is better than Danganronpa, much more popular statistically too. Capcom did an amazing job with the series and they actually did it right, unlike most other videogame developers. I prefer AA over Danganronpa because the cases are not only harder in some to most situations, but the game series have character built into them with wacky animations and breakdowns that the people can express, the game also does an amazing job at impacting the player emotionally, there are sad and happy scenes that really get to the player during the game. Sometimes there are more, sometimes there are less complex cases to solve. Danganronpa can last 20 hours, but most of the AA games can last way longer than 20. In my opinion, Danganronpa tried way too hard at trying to copy and immitate the AA games. In conclusion, I would go with AA.

Not at all. But you seem to have a problem. Believing you are a know it all and is always right. Trying to impose what you believe is true. This is a childish behaviour. I just happen to like Danganronpa better, that is all. I don't think it's a copy of anything and I enjoy the games. You don't have to agree with me and I don't agree with you. Glad we have options right? Imagine if we all had to like or do the same things. You are not wrong or right because what you like or think is different from me, so don't pretend you are better than everyone else. In fact, for trying to impose your belief you made me think very poor of you. Hope you become a better human being [and I say this because you are behaving this way over an opinion about 2 games, imagine about serious matters]. ^^

I prefer AA, because you really get to live as Phoenix Wright meaning you get more attached to characters.

Danganronpa on the other hand got a terrible ending and you don't really see most characters in order to really be hit hard.

When you compare both gameplay Danganronpa is superior in a way but in a sense not really, because the mini games just get in the way, I mean snowboarding in order to respond sounds pretty weird.

Seeing characters evolve in multiples games is better, danganronpa sort of have that but it's clearly not enough, imagine my surprise when I saw a DS game about Phoenix Wright and professor Layton, that game was great even if I've never played PL game, it just fit well in the gameplay (the character design between the two is not so good tho).

I've played AA before Danganronpa, it's true that uncovering who the murderer was is pretty easy after playing AA but most importantly I've watched the danganronpa anime wich was just like the first game.

Ace Attorney.

Danganronpa is kind of stupid and I hate that stupid freaking dumb bear. I cannot stand devs who glorify stupid and ugly.

For me I prefer Danganronpa.

Ace Attorney kinda bores me, and I prefer the characters, character designs, fanbase and plot from Danganronpa. That's just my opinion though, but out of danganronpa and ace attorney, Kimi ga shine is the best no cap B)

Ace attorney. Danganronpa isnt a bad game, but if you look for interesting twists and actual puzzles, then AA is by far better at these. Not to mention overall AA makes sense, while danganronpa does have few leaps in logic

Danganronpa so far.

- Far better UX design. No annoying moving between places via menus
- Streamlined investigations. No "you didn't show the specific profile to that specific person, so story cannot progress". No pixel hunting.
- Recovery from mistakes is easier. Game Over is less punishing.
- More unique visual style and soundtrack.
- Minigames are great change of pace. Normal non-stop debate also beats scrolling through testimony in the fun departament.
- Big one: despite being far more wacky and over-the-top, Danganronpa had better score in keeping my suspension of disbelief in check. Mostly because how utterly riddiculus is the AA's legal system is. I know that it is constructed that way to have a game around it, but it makes more grounded in reality setting harder swallow with things like 3-day trials, defense proving innocence, hiding evidence from the opposition etc.
