POOL IS CLOSED posted:Like it or hate it, the trope of unrealistic prodigy characters is not going away. Of course not, but this is an extreme case even by Ace Attorney standards. Edgeworth in the last game started prosecuting at 22. That is exceptional but mathematically possible. Alternately, Ace Attorney Germany is just a land ruled by teenagers.

Look, AA Germany just has really good schools, which apparently teach Japanifornian law. Speaking of which, is this the last AA game to unambiguously identify a real-world country like Germany? I know that they switch to "off-brand" country names at some point in the series, but I don't know exactly when.

amigolupus posted:I checked the previous updates to be sure, and it's mentioned that the key is one-of-a-kind. If this was a set-up, then I'm guessing Maya had to have been knocked out and carried out of the room where she dropped the key somewhere. So... is it, like, a known thing that mediums take on the physical appearance of the ghosts they channel? Because whoever was in the room certainly looked taller than Maya. But was that, like, a deliberate attempt to fake the thing, or a fuckup on their part because they weren't expecting anyone to look closely, or...?

EDIT: I mean I literally think that's the implication, von Karma the youngest having started practicing as 13 is mathematically impossible if the system is at all working, but they're the child of Manfred von Karma, who is a known corrupt POS, so there's no way he didn't put an illegal amount of pressure on everyone involved, likely including his then-13-year-old. It's absurd bc it has to be super absurd to get that characterization across when everyone is exceptionally young already in the series.

Edgeworth's first case was at age 20 for comparison. And he almost certainly got the same kind of Lawyer Boot Camp as Von Karma The Younger did.

I mean having the kid be in the 16 to 18 range would already be basically absurd if you thought about it at all. Having him be 13 is just silly.

Do defense attorneys and prosecution lawyers go to the same school in Japanifornia? Are they classmates? Do defense attorneys get bullied in school? So many questions.

Is the judge the only judge in Japanifornia? There are other lawyers and other prosecutors in trials we have seen, but it's always the exact same judge. What do they do when he takes a vacation?

Glazius posted:So... is it, like, a known thing that mediums take on the physical appearance of the ghosts they channel? Because whoever was in the room certainly looked taller than Maya. I'm honestly not sure if that information is well-known. Phoenix knows the mediums change their appearance, and a few characters note that Maya seems to have changed when channeling someone, IIRC. If Morgan is really an accomplice, then she could've told Ini that the mediums change their appearance when channeling someone. In that case, the plan is probably to have Ini appear to be Maya, say incriminating words and then Morgan quickly sends Phoenix and Lotta away so they can't get a good look at "Maya". Carbon dioxide posted:Do defense attorneys and prosecution lawyers go to the same school in Japanifornia? Are they classmates? Do defense attorneys get bullied in school? I can't help but imagine a situation like Hogwarts where the prosecution students are all in the good houses, while defense students are in Slytherin and considered to be cowardly and evil.

There are at least two more judges, but you'll have to wait until the later games to meet them.

Pearl ships Phoenix/Maya in an extremely naive "twu wuv" fashion. As far as we know, she just heard from Maya about how Phoenix totally cross-examined a parrot one time and decided that this made him the perfect marriage partner.

Wow, I found this ridiculously late.  I don't think the music in this game is as good as the first one, but there are a few aspects of this game that are pretty entertaining. Getting to get more info on Kurain is nice. Poor Payne can't even beat an attorney with amnesia, though. He didn't even have much of a case before Wellington took the stand. Even then, it was so shaky that the judge was willing to pronounce Maggey innocent before the murderer even showed up. Blueberry Pancakes fucked around with this message at 00:20 on Sep 26, 2017 |

IAmTheRad posted:Rise from the Ashes was put into the storyline. I don't know how they did it, as I have only played the DS titles (and the Android port of Dual Destinies) but apparantly in the HD remasters of the original trilogy, they put some line somewhere in it to confirm it's part of the storyline. At one point, there is talk of the last time Phoenix went to court or something, which was originally the von Karma case. The remaster just adds in a little line that mentioned RftA as well.

Spirit mediums and psychics aside, I think the metaphysical power worth investigating is the one that makes all the puns in your name come true. Like do these parents pay no attention when naming their children or is this some kind of quick passage to fame? "Well, our little Gemma Stone is either going to die in an avalanche or start a diamond mine. Either way she'll be in newspapers".
