Why would you pay specifically for more Oldbag? Is she a Japanese fan favourite or something?

I don't even care if it is real, can we stop posting screenshots of the as of yet unreleased game without spoiler tags? Or do I just need to stop reading this thread for the next six months? I feel like anything that isn't in the latest trailer (probably the final one before release) I don't want to know before going in.

No offense, but it's all promotional material Capcom themselves is putting out without spoiler tags. You're meant to see it. Once the game's out in Japan, that's when you need to start avoiding things.

She was still a 2D sprite, so she was just there for the promotional skit.

If you want to see actual gameplay of the DLC, that can be seen here:

She's not going to be in the DLC. She just time traveled from HD trilogy to the DLC's trailer because she heard someone with a 'M' name was getting married in it, and thought that meant Miles/Mitsurugi was going to marry her.

Well, that's a relief. I don't think I could handle any more of her. :ohdear:

In the GCCX interview with Takumi he says Oldbag is his favorite character.

Oldbag is another one of those characters who was murdered and replaced by a more annoying version in the transition from AA1 (The others are Larry and Gumshoe. Original Gumshoe came back in AAI2 though).

E: This does mean that I think she's great in AA1. Her bit is funny, the characters' exasperation at her is very satisfying, and she does not exist solely for the annoyance of others.

When she says she's going to tackle everyone who tries to walk into the studio it's one of the funniest things in AA1. She never gets anything like that again in future games.

I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna!!!

My favorite part of 2-3 is that a court of law's reaction to a 31 year old man admitting to wanting to marry a 15 year old isn't "Holy poo poo this man is a pedophile" but "Oh that silly puppet who is obviously a sentient being with a will of its own." And even the Judge is like "Well, I guess even someone as old as me could marry a 15 year old," which is probably one of the worst things a judge could say.

This is my first time touching the game in like a month, the circus is that bad.

Edit: And I don't think the implications of this love triangle are intentional. I think it's just an unfortunate side effect of the combination of the "dummy that acts like its own character" goof and the presence of a love triangle, compounded with this game + 1 case being written in the span of a month and Takumi maybe not having a lot of time to go over the script.

After recently replaying 2-3, I think it's one of those things things that's supposed to be silly and charming, since you know they're in a circus, and isn't creepy until you think about it.

But since 2-3 is terrible, this doesn't work.

Yeah, it actually took me about 5 or 6 years to fully grasp the weird implications with the love triangle. It's just something you can't unsee after discovering it.

Do you like Ace Attorney? Do you like idols? How about books? You're in luck with Turnabout Idol coming June 15!



Written by Mie Takase, the novel has Phoenix coming to the defense of the idol Sumomo Momogaya after she's arrested for an incident in a shopping mall.

I hope the idol sings during the trial to cheer up Apollo, Athena, and/or Phoenix.

Then the song ends up being decisive evidence.

I imagine that instead of a murder, the horrible incident that she is accused of is the Idol sin of having a boyfriend.

Blackquill gets his time on the defenses' bench:

https://court-records-net.tumblr.com/post/145164557493/ace-attorney-spirit-of-justice-apollo-v posted:



While the majority of the info is too small to make out, the highlights refer to ‘start of the heated discussion of Apollo vs Phoenix’, 'A battle about ownership of evidence’, 'a tag-team of Apollo and Athena’ and 'Prosecutor Blackquill as the defense’s assistant’.

Too bad it probably won't be as funny as Miles in 3-5.

"Start of the heated discussion"? 舌戦開幕 is a super-dramatic sounding phrase which I would translate as something like "The curtain opens on a battle of words (between Phoenix and Apollo)"

Blackquill was not who I'd expect to ever join the defence's bench. But he's cool so i'm fine with it. Also, now Athena needs to be playable even more because he would work best as her assistant rather than to the other two.

Watching this again, is a returning character actually getting married in the DLC case or was that Larry being dumb?

There is a character in the DLC that is wearing a bridal gown. I think Larry is honest to God getting married.

I was about to say the video shows the groom and Larry being restrained by security, but then I started thinking why would Larry crash a wedding and now all I can think about is the feeling of your fiancee leaving you on your wedding day for someone like Larry.

Also found out two other people besides Edgeworth and Larry that fit the characteristics: Franziska (Mei) and Maggey (Mako).

Who really knows what happened the night that Martin Duram was shot and killed in his Michigan home last spring? Perhaps, his pet parrot witnessed the killing and heard Mr Duram’s desperate plea to the killer.

In a story that will be seized on by lovers of television detective shows, Mr Duram’s parents are seeking to persuade police to make use of a video of their son’s pet parrot in which the rough-mouth African grey says: “Don’t f***king shoot”.
