Moderato vs. Allegro: which is better?
Which type of cross-examination themes would I say are better? Well, it depends on the game.
So which is better for each game?
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Winner: Moderato. I like Moderato for its smoothness and subtlety, and the notes in Allegro seem more... blunt? Staccato? Idk but it takes away the value of the theme for me.
Justice for All
Winner: Allegro. Both serve their purpose well and are quite good, but JFA's best moments are intense ones, giving Allegro the edge.
Trials and Tribulations
Winner: Allegro. Again, both serve their purpose, but the Allegro sounds like someone is crying out to be saved, which again coincides with the game's best moments and gives it the edge.
Apollo Justice
Winner: Moderato. It's perfect at setting the scene... while Allegro doesn't really stand out. Kind of like how the game is perfect at setting scenes but the climaxes aren't terribly exciting or climactic.
Investigations 1
Winner: Allegro. Both are good, but the extra instruments for Allegro give it the edge.
Investigations 2
Winner: Moderato. In contrast to I1, Allegro doesn't seem to add much of substance.
Dual Destinies
Winner: Allegro. I think the added "ending" gives it the edge.
Spirit of Justice
Winner: Allegro. Same case as DD, AND it's an especially emotional theme.
TGAAC
Winner: Allegro. Both are good, but Allegro evokes the image of the witnesses in Case 3 madly swaying around, which totally gives it the edge.
But that's just my opinion. What do you think?
