I’m very much a fan of those sort of arrangements.Īmong other additions, I also find the additions of “Mood Matrix”, “Wandering Heart”, and “Arafune Aquarium” very pleasant to listen to. The most interesting version is “The Depths of the Depths of the Heart”, which is a distorted music box version of her theme.
The distorted music box version of her theme in “Sad Memories” is one of the best-arranged versions of that theme on the soundtrack. It’s definitely one of the catchier character themes of the year. The progression of the theme is excellent, with the build-up to the bridge of the loop and the brass supporting the way. Her upbeat main theme “Let’s Do This!” is a peppy synth-filled melody, but where Athena seems to shine is in the courtroom. “Bringer of Revolution!” is one of the best character themes of the year, with an excellent melodic bass backing, awesome percussion with tons of cymbals and tambourines, and great synth and brass. In additionto the best-written character in the theme, Athena’s themes are the best themes on the soundtrack for me. With that said, the best themes on the soundtrack are the original ones. The new “Detention Center” theme is also very good thanks to Iwadare’s improved string and synth library. It uses the prevailing instrumentation throughout the entire soundtrack with edgy brass, a constant bassline, and a catchy melody to make its intent clear to the player. The new “Pressing Pursuit” theme is very good, one of the best in the series. Similar enhancements occur in “Investigation ~ Core 2013”, “Great Revival 2013”, “Magical Girl 2013”, and “With Pearly 2013”. It takes on a more tragic note, adding organs and better sound samples than ever before. “Suspense 2013” sounds far more sinister than its original counterpart. The new “Telling the Truth” theme for 2013 is an amazing take on the original composed 12 years before. With that said, I think both themes are among the better cross-examination themes in the entire series. Something I don’t see every day, but it makes the themes more interesting. The new cross-examination themes “Questioning ~ Moderato 2013” and “Questioning ~ Allegro 2013” sounded kind of weird to me because of their use of a 7/4 time-signature. Apollo gets two themes to his name, both arrangements of his original one: the sombre “I’m Fine!”, featuring an absolutely wonderful bass backing and violin and piano interplay, and “The Start of a New Chapter! 2013”, which sounds far more triumphant and more confident with a peppy piano and synth melody leading the way up to the guitar bridge. “Objection 2013” has more bass drive accompanying the now-familiar violin-played melody.

It seems to extend from Apollo Justice’s reliance on bass, but adds some of Phoenix’s own flair to the conversation with piano, guitar, and some synth. “Trial” plays off of the older trial themes but gives the original melody better backing with better-quality samples, and enhances it, making the theme far more dramatic and fitting of a courtroom trial. The themes of both Phoenix Wright and Apollo Justice have their themes arranged to sound more elegant. In any case, “Courtroom Lobby ~ Prelude to the Future” specifically sets the scene for the trial. Iwadare doesn’t necessarily seamlessly blend them well, but the track works in context. “Prologue” opens the soundtrack with a slew of various themes and thematic portions of the soundtrack in combination.

Dual Destinies’ soundtrack is filled with prevailing motifs, from character motifs to thematic motifs to returning themes that fans of the series know well and love. The soundtrack was written by series’ mainstay Noriyuki Iwadare under the direction of Toshihiko Horiyama. With that said, I feel as though Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies has the best soundtrack out of all of the games due in part to better-quality samples, theme arrangements, and overall composition. The Ace Attorney (aka Gyakuten Saiban) games have had a long legacy of excellent music, with a whole slew of arranged albums to boot.
