Ah, Seacouver, the greatest city in the wor- *i am immediately drawn into an argument with someone from Lostokyoangeles*
the fact that Ace Attorney is set in Lostoykoangeles will never stop being funny to me, and it's turning into being a fan for awkwardly named localized cities
@BestGirlGrace wait is that actually the real name of the games' setting
@00dani no, the localized game takes place in Los Angeles, fans just say "Lostokyoangeles" as a joke on the imported elements of japanese culture
@BestGirlGrace okay yeah that makes sense
since yeah, it's just. the most japanese los angeles imaginable
why didn't the localisation just not change the setting,
@00dani @BestGirlGrace because it wasn't clear in aa1 how big of a deal it would be
@monorail @BestGirlGrace wait, how did they not realise though
by the time they started localising the games, aa2 and aa3 already existed in japanese too? 
@BestGirlGrace @00dani yeah i wouldn't be surprised if the localization team didn't even get to look at aa2 and 3
@BestGirlGrace @00dani in fact i'd be pretty surprised if they d id
@BestGirlGrace @monorail wait, what was the reason
it's always struck me as weird and incongruous
@BestGirlGrace @monorail jeepers
wtf was going on in 2005
@BestGirlGrace @monorail also why not just localise them to "noodles", like basically happened in the fourth game
@00dani @BestGirlGrace because it doesn't really matter for the plot and americans can easily relate to people who love burgers
@00dani @BestGirlGrace @monorail in 2005, literally every single american child had ramen as a regular snack,,, that’s what was going on 😐
(…okay, Celiac Georg didn’t, but they’re an outlier)
@monorail @00dani like, they localized Maya's preferred food to hamburgers for a reason
