Geokinesis posted:Is the DLC case meant to be done after the main game? The DLC case is completely stand-alone and has pretty much nothing to do with the plot of the game. You should play it sometime after case 2 because case 2 introduces a couple characters but other than that it doesn't matter. I don't know why HenryEx said it was mandatory, it isn't.

It's only mandatory in that it's goddamned hilarious. It's also more focus on Phoenix than you get for most of the game.

Waffleman_ posted:This one textbox is the sole foundation we use to lay out the entire Ace Attorney timeline. This is literally the only time a specific year is mentioned in any of the games. Every other time an event from the past is brought up, it's in relative years ago. I didn't even think Capcom had acknowledged the timeline until they started talking about it when it began in real time. 2001 is also when the first game came out. Also, the events of the first game are happening this year.

Case 4 - Turnabout Goodbyes Trial (Day 3) - Part 1 : The defense is ready, Your Honor. : ... ... : Very well, apparently the prosecution is also ready. : (Who is the judge here, anyway!?) : Mr. von Karma, your opening statement. : ... ... : Er... very well, no opening statements so... : Not so fast, Judge! : I was taking a meaningful pause before speaking! : R-right, of course. : A prediction! : Today's trial will end three minutes from now! : Order... order! : Mr. von Karma! What is the meaning of your statement just now!? : Bah! Must you question everything! It will be over in three minutes! We have no time to waste! : I'll call my witness now! : R-right... : I call my witness... my decisive witness to the stand! : (It's that mysterious boat shop owner.) : Witness... state your profession. : Mmph... zzzz... ... I, er, am the proprietor of the restaurant the "Wet Noodle" at Gourd Lake. : ... : And I, er, also rent boats. : The night of the incident, you were in the boat rental shop, correct? : Er... ayup, yup I was. : Please testify. : (Wait a second...) : (On second thought, I guess it doesn't really matter.) : Doesn't matter!? What are you thinking, Nick!? What if that old man had something to do with the DL-6 Incident? If we don't find out who he is, we won't be able to build a case here! : (Hmm, she has a point.) This drops us where the other choice starts. : Wait a minute! : The witness hasn't stated his name yet! : Because I did not ask him, Mr. Wright! Bah! I have predicted this trial will end in three minutes! : Stop asking trivial questions and cooperate! : (Yeah, right!) : The witness will state his name. : Zzzz... ... Mmph! Well, er... I'm not really sure, ayup. : What do you mean? : My, er, memory... : Your honor... The witness does not remember anything beyond the last several years... : Ergo, he cannot recall his own name. : Hmm... he can't recall, you say? : Yes, but the incident in question took place three days ago. He can testify. : Very well. : Let's hear his testimony then, shall we. Witness? : Hmm... : Very well. I'd like to begin the cross-examination... : There is nothing to question in my witness's testimony! Ergo, no need for cross-examination! : Besides, there are only 10 seconds left before our three minutes are up! : Judge! Your verdict, now! : Er... yes... : (He's right. That testimony sounded pretty solid. Maybe I should hold back.) : B-but, Nick! You have to cross-examine him! This is your only chance to turn this trial around! Your last chance! : (O-oh... right.) Or we could go for the smarter answer. : What are you saying!? Of course I'll cross-examine the witness! : Hmm... : Very well, you may begin. Convergence. : E-excuse me? Mr. von Karma? : Three minutes just passed. : I see. Well then, let's just take our time. : You may cross-examine the witness. : "Just after midnight," you say? : Ayup, just around then. : Are you sure? : Pretty sure, ayup. : When I talked to you yesterday, you were rather vague about the time... I'm surprised you seem so sure about it today. : I asked him, and he remembered. Isn't that right!? : Zzzz... D-don't glare at me like that...! : I, er... I remembered it clearly, I did. Ayup. : You see? Continue! : Is there anyone who can verify that? : ... Well, I guess Polly could. : Th-that's not good enough for a court of law! : Mr. Wright... exactly what's not good enough? : Ah, uh, Your Honor, this "Polly" is a parrot. : A... parrot? : Don't be so hard on the girl, Keithy-boy! : Keith...? : The prosecution concedes that we cannot prove the witness was in the shop. Witness... please continue. : And where did the "bang" seem to come from? : From the lake, I figure. : Are you certain? : A-ayup. : Good. Continue. : Was there someone in the boat? : It was pretty far out there... I oculdn't see clearly... : But I figure there was two men out there, ayup. : But you couldn't see them clearly! : Ayup... at the time, that is. : (At the time...?) : So you heard two gunshots total? : Ayup. : (That's what Lotta said in her testimony yesterday.) : "By your window"? : Ayup, by my window. Right outside the window of my little shack. : And, could you see the man's face? : Well, the fog was pretty darn thick, but he was right there in front of me. I saw him. : This is a rather important detail! Please add it to your testimony. : Tsk, tsk, tsk... : (I have a bad feeling about this...) : A-are you sure!? : (Uh oh!) : D-Dad! : Dead certain, Keith! He said "I can't believe he's dead" as he was walking by, too. : Witness! Are you sure that the person you saw was Miles Edgeworth!? : This... sounds like decisive evidence indeed. I see no room for doubt. : (von Karma... He lured me into cross-examining so he could set me up for a fall!) : Tsk, tsk, tsk... : N-Nick...! I don't like the way things are going here! Everyone in the courtroom is glaring at us! : (But... how can I raise an objection without any proof?) : Judge! There is no room for doubt in the witness's testimony! : I demand that you declare your verdict! Or... : Your Honor! We proved in yesterday's court that it could not have been Edgeworth who fired that gun! : Mr. Wright. Are you referring to the fingerprints from Edgeworth's right hand found on the gun, and the photograph showing a man firing with his left hand...? : Exactly! : That is easily explainable! He could have wiped his prints after he fired! : You are ignoring the truth of the matter here! Everything in this witness's testimony is true! Convergence. : Hmm... : (I can't see any room to raise an objection... I'd better hold back and see how things develop.) : Nick! We have to do something! If we stay quiet now, Mr. Edgeworth'll be found guilty for sure! Or... : Your Honor! This witness claims that Edgeworth said "I can't believe he's dead"... : But his word is all we have! : If he were telling a lie... : Mr. Wright. In a court of law, the evidence tells all. Apparently, you have yet to realize even this basic fact. : If you say his testimony is a lie, show us proof! : Urk... : Nick! Do we have evidence...? Convergence. : It's no good! There's nothing I can do. : A... are you sure? : To be honest... I don't know what to do anymore. : Please... Can you hear me, Sis? Please... We need your help... Nick needs you... : Tsk, tsk, tsk... Three minutes was perhaps too high an expectation. : However, fifteen minutes isn't bad! This must be a new record. : Enough! The witness may leave the stand. : This court sees no reason to further prolong the trial. Nor is there any need for more time to decide the case against the defendant. : This case is extremely clear. I see no room for misinterpretation of the facts. : (W-what!? No!) : Hmph. : This court finds the defendant, Mr. Miles Edgeworth... : The accused will surrender to the court immediately, to be held pending trial at a higher court within a month from today's date. : That is all. The court is adjourned! : Me!!! : Huh? Next time: Wait, what?

I never understood why "I can't believe he's dead" is supposed to be evidence of clear guilt. Even if he is innocent and only saw it happen as the defense says, he would still say the same thing, right? He could have been going to find a phone and call the police. Is this a weird translation error or something?

What is known or suspected, absent evidence or testimony to the contrary: 1. The defendant and the victim were on a boat on the lake by themselves. 2. Two shots were heard. 3. The defendant's finger prints were found on the gun. 4. The witness heard the defendant walk by, muttering about a death. 5. The victim's corpse washed up the next morning. It's hardly decisive, but a fact-finder who finds Edgeworth guilty at this point isn't being unreasonable.

Yes but the caveat is that unless the defense rebuts that assertion, this is the set of facts (add scare quotes if so inclined) we have to deal with.

Larry wasn't there for the time of the murder and is only related to the case by being in the same area, and his contribution of the "lake monster" rumor has already come into play. So what exactly can he do here? I suppose I have to wait and be surprised. And when the heck is the fact the gun was fired three times going to come up, anyway? I thought that was the evidence that was going to disprove the old man's testimony, but it hasn't come up again...

Case 4 - Turnabout Goodbyes Trial (Day 3) - Part 2 : Wh-what are you doing here!? : Listen! Y-you gotta listen to me! : I... I was... : I was there, in the park, the night of the murder! : B-but today I remembered it! : Remembered what? : The gunshot! I heard it too! : O-order! : What is the meaning of this!? The verdict has been decided! I call for adjournment! : One moment, Mr. von Karma. : So, you say you heard a gunshot? : Yeah, I did! A gunshot! That night! : I was sitting here in the audience, listening to the testimony... Then I realized, something he said was different from what I remember! : A-anyhow, I can't just sit here and let you call Edgey a murderer! : It's... It's just not right! I'll testify! Lemme testify! : Order! Order! Well, this is the first time something has happened like this in my court. : I'm not quite sure how to proceed... : Judge! You've already given your decision! : The trial is over! : Nick! This is it! Larry's given us one final chance at this! : (She's right! If only it wasn't Larry... He could make things even worse...) : Mr. Edgeworth was just declared guilty, Nick! : It doesn't get any worse! : You're right! Okay! : Your Honor! If there is another witness, it is our duty to hear him speak! : Right here! Right now! : A waste of time! : The verdict cannot be overturned! : Hmm... ... ... : Allow me to speak my opinion. In all court proceedings, it is our duty to prevent an inaccurate verdict. In order to make sure no mistake has been made, every witness should be heard! : Wh-what is this!? : I withdraw my previous verdict of "guilty"! : Mr. von Karma! I order you to call this new witness to testify. : Now! : Whaaaat! : The court will adjourn for a five minute recess. : Court is adjourned! : Whew... That was too close. : Hmph. : I've seen worse. : (Yeah right, Edgeworth. You're sweating bullets.) I just wonder what Larry plans to say in there. : Larry was at the lake that night? : Yes... : Oh right. And he found the balloon and the air tank that night? : Yeah. : ... : Hey, Edgeworth. : ... : Huh? You say something, Wright? : Yeah, a lot of things. You seem out of it. What's wrong? : It... It's nothing. : Hmm? : Umm... Mr. Edgeworth? There's something I've been meaning to ask you. : What's that? : Why are your fingerprints on the murder weapon? : Oh. : I couldn't understand what had happened. I couldn't think straight. Then I saw the pistol lying on the floor of the boat in front of me. : I see... : Wright... : Yeah? : This might be our chance. : Our chance? : von Karma has only ever run perfect trials. : Perfect trials...? : Perfectly prepared witnesses, perfectly complete evidence. That's the secret to his success. : This is the first time he's ever had to deal with something unexpected! He has let someone he hasn't even talked to testify before the court! And that someone... is Larry! : What are you getting at? : It's likely his testimony will be full of holes, Wright. : That's right, Nick! : No ten minute trial this time! We'll milk this one for all it's worth! : Hey, it was fifteen minutes! Fifteen! (Everything depends on Larry now...) : Court is now back in session. : Witness... Please testify to the court about everything that you saw... on the night of December 24th. : Right... leave it to me! : (Please, Larry, don't mess this one up!!! I hate to admit it, but you're our last chance!) : ... : (von Karma didn't even have time to prep his witness. I just hope Edgeworth is right about this being our big break...) : Hmm... : That was an unusually vague testimony, even for this court. : In any case, Mr. Wright, you may begin your cross-examination. : Yes, Your Honor... : What's wrong, Nick? : It's Larry! I have no idea what he's going to say if I press him. I'm a little scared. : Hmm... : Well, we've come this far. There's no way to go but forward, Nick! : ... : Something wrong, Mr. Wright? : There were so many things wrong I don't know where to begin... : Ah... : Um, well, okay. First of all, what time was it? : Oh, it was after 11:00 when I went out in the boat. : By that time everyone had gone home for the night. So I waited until the coast was clear, so to speak. : And why were you out on a boat at such a late hour...? : "Looking for something"...? : Er, yeah. : Mr. Butz, what was it you were looking for? : What the witness was searching for is irrelevant! Most likely he was hunting for this "Gourdy"! : (You know, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if that was the truth.) : This is all irrelevant! Let's get it over with. : Around what time was that? : Uh... Well, let's see... I figure I was out searching for about an hour... : I guess it was around 12:00. Yeah. : You're not sure? : Hey! Don't give me that face! I'm not some sort of human sundial, okay!? : (People use watches these days, Larry...) : Where did the sound come from? : Yeah, well, I wasn't too sure about that. I looked around, y'know. : Did you look at the lake? : Yeah, I looked. : Wasn't there a boat on the lake!? : Order! Order! : Well? Mr. Butz! : Whoa, whoa. Everybody just calm down, okay? : I mean, it was real foggy that night. : I'm not sure whether there was a boat out there or not. : (Oh, okay, no problem. That's just the MOST IMPORTANT PART of this case!!!) : Hmph! : So you only heard one "bang" correct? Not my typo there. : Yeah. : (Huh.) And we loop. : Well, Nick? : Hmm... It was a pretty wishy-washy testimony, wasn't it? I guess I should just start working on the contradictions. : Sorry... I wish I could be more helpful. I wish I could call my sister... Can you spot the problem? : W-wait a sec, Larry! : Wh-what!? : You only heard one "bang"!? You're sure!? : That's what I said! : They both heard two gunshots that night! : Huh? : Were you even listening!? : Were you paying attention at all to what they said? : Yo, Nick, please! : Huh? : You know, something's been bothering me. : I'm a witness, see? I'm like a customer here! : So you got to treat me nice and stuff, okay!? : ... : Mr. Butz. : What!? : You only heard one gunshot? Are you sure? : ... Umm... : Well, to tell ya the truth... I'm not sure. : Eh...? : Not sure!? H-how could you not be sure? : Yeah, well... I, uh, I might have missed the other gunshot. : I was, uh, listening to something else... : Something... else? : My radio, dude! On my headphones. : Order! Order! And stop that booing! : M-Mr. Butz! You were listening to a radio on earphones? : Y-yeah! So what! That a crime!? : I listen to my radio! Everybody listens to the radio! What's the big deal!? : Hmm... : Mr. von Karma... your opinion? : Waste of time. I do not accept this witness, nor his shoddy testimony. : Hmm... : (No, I think I've heard enough. This is all too embarrassing... In fact, I think we've all heard enough.) : What are you saying, Nick!? : If you stop now, Mr. Edgeworth will be found guilty! : We have to turn this trial around now! : Uh... And we pick up where the right answer starts. : Your Honor. Please... please allow the witness to continue his testimony. : Bah! : Nothing is more pitiful than a lawyer who doesn't know when he's lost! : Very well, Mr. Butz. Please give your testimony, and be sure to include details like your RADIO. : Right! Leave it to me! : (I wouldn't if there were any other way out of this, believe me.) : You were listening to your radio... at a high volume!? : Yeah, what's the big problem? Can't a man listen to his radio in peace? Isn't this a free country!? : (I truly believe Larry has no idea what the problem here is.) : Judge. Can you believe a word this witness says? : What he heard was probably nothing more than a drum beat from the radio! : True enough, it is difficult to believe this testimony. : Wait, Your Honor! The witness said he remembers exactly what the DJ said when he heard the gunshot! : Excuse me? "Dee-jay"...? : An announcer... the guy who says things on the radio. : Anyway! What this means is, when he heard the sound, no music was playing! : The DJ only talks between songs! So he could have heard the gunshot from the lake! I'd like to cross-examine the witness, Your Honor! : V-very well, Mr. Wright. : (I can't believe I'm continuing this charade...) Next time: Continuing this charade.
