2 different things. There's the Kingdom of Khura'in and Kurain Village. Kurain Village is comprised of Japanese immigrants that had roots from the Kingdom of Khura'in.

To clarify, they're a Japanese clan that has roots in Khura'in, who then emigrated to California. So ultimately they're descended from Khurainese, but they were also Japanese sometime in the middle.

I honestly don't know if any case will be able to surpass 2-4 as a complete package, but I do think that Turnabout Revolution day 2 is the single best trial day in the series. It condenses like a whole 3 day case worth of twists and emotional moments into just 1 trial, and it rules hard.

No, no, sorta amusing.

It's 20 minutes max and if you dislike Pearl still being a child then welp.

SyntheticPolygon

Pearl will never grow out of being a child because all her appearances in the series now are cameos and fanservice, without really being all that important. And for that sake the writers are keeping her close to her previous characterisation.

I haven't played it yet (probably gonna get it tomorrow) but for anyone who hasn't followed - the two Asinine Attorneys this and next week aren't proper full length cases. That DLC comes out in 2 weeks. If you don't wanna pay 4 bucks for a short little thing and a 3DS theme it's probably not worth it.

I'm aware this is a pretty rare opinion, but i think 2-4 is like, just good. The premise is amazing and the payoff is so, so satisfactory, but it's just. So long. The investigation is too long, there's too much pointless Oldbag blabber. Basically, it suffers from being 3 days long, and has the dubious honor of being the last case to ever be three days long (well, 1-5 is that kinda but they were better about pacing when they made it), for I believe very good reasons. If day 2 was cut and the rest shuffled around, I would like it way more. As it is, the last time I replayed I got actually exasperated at how long it was taking. I know it's actually the point that the tension is unbearable, but they went too far imo.

I'm like 99% certain 2-4 is only 2 days.

Regy Rusty

2-4 is only 2 days long

1-3, 4, and 5 are the only cases that ever went 3 days

2-4 is basically perfect imo but it's also very special and I don't really bother comparing other cases to it because its unique and can't ever really be repeated

SyntheticPolygon
Dec 20, 2013

It's kind of funny that only AA1 has any 3 day cases. Though I suppose DD kinda cheats on that because cases 4 and 5 are so closely connected they can kinda function as one long case.

Edit: 2-4 to me is basically just the case that encapsulates Phoenix Wright as a character. It reinforces Edgeworth as his closest friend and rival, it challenges his ideals and values more than any other case, and it really kinda solidifies what kind of a person he is. In some ways 1-4 is more about Edgey than Phoenix himself, but 2-4 is really front and center the Phoenix Wright show.

6-5 is kinda the same for Apollo now that I think about it. Except most of the set up for it comes within the case itself because Apollo has had a sort of messy arc, so I give the edge to 2-4. But only barely.

Whoa. Okay, so it's been so long since I played 2-4 that it actually got longer in my memory because I remember everything taking forever in that case. Well, whatever, I think it's badly paced anyway.

It's not different from what you said, but I didn't think you made it 100% crystal clear that Khura'in is a separate country from Japan, which a lot of people seem to be confused about.

I'm actually super curious as to what they're going to do with AA7 and going forward. I hope they don't bring Apollo back immediately, it's a good excuse to have an Athena-centric game, plus Apollo can have his own 2-4 Great Revival moment in like AA8 or 9.

He's gonna show back up in 7-4 when he's the key suspect in the murder of Thalassa Gramayre, otherwise known as Lamiroir.

I've got mixed feeling on when Apollo should return. Next game should definitely star Athena, but i've really liked the multiple playable characters thing DD and SoJ have had. So I kinda want him and Athena in AA7, since I think it'd probably be for the best if Phoenix took less of a prominent role (though I still want him around, just in less of a playable capacity).

I figure having Apollo in Khura'in is as much a reason to be able to keep the new court gimmick around as it is a reason to keep him on the sidelines.

Phoenix really needs to have a speakerphone conversation about it before Trucy sneaks on another Khura'in-bound plane.

There aren't many ways to rip the title of "WORLD'S WORST DAD" from Blaise Debeste but that would be one of them!

Temporarily (possibly permanently?) writing out Apollo was a really bold move and I'm surprised they did it. It's a great end to his arc, but AJ was the game I started with so in a way he's the defining attorney of the series for me. He'll for sure get at least a cameo case, they're not known for retiring gimmicks they've used previously in the series and since seances can only be done in Khura'in, it pretty much guarantees his return, but I'll miss him and Athena working together. :(

I wonder how much time he spent thinking about it before he realized it was cleaning toilets and being a magic show practice dummy vs. living in a palace and being the most prominent lawyer in the country?
