A NOTE ABOUT BLUE TEXT
Mar. 18th, 2013 08:52 pmOne of the more amusing elements of the Ace Attorney games is how the character you play often has two completely different dialogues going on at the same time. One, the character's "outer dialogue," is usually expressed via standard text, with grey text for whispering. The other, the "inner monologue," tends to get expressed through blue text which is TECHNICALLY something you can't hear.
In other words, no, Phoenix is not talking in two distinctly different voices. He's just thinking. LOUDLY thinking -- both Phoenix and Apollo have a bad habit of being easy to read -- but still thinking. If you can read minds, or are very good at interpreting body language, feel free to let your character "read the text." Otherwise, it's completely inaudible to people.
(There may be other text colors that appear -- specifically green text, which he uses during magatama divining and IS spoken out loud -- but the blue text is entirely internal.)
I have taken to putting it into brackets to make the divide more obvious, but I'll keep the explanation here anyway just in case anybody is unfamiliar with the games and wondering wtf.
