Plom Bar posted:He didn't have to, is the worst part. If he had moved for a verdict after the walkie-talkie's testimony, Engarde would have gotten off scot-free. I'm not saying he should have, but something about the way Wright handled this case tells me he might not stay barred for long. Maybe if we lived in the dark ages. Wright's display of honesty and morality were incredible. He'll stay an honest example for lawyers for years to come. I wonder if that rumored Gatewatered Amusement Park will have some nods to Wright, this is yet another massively public case involving their hotels where he was involved.

I doubt Gatewater will want people to remember all the murders connected with their properties. Maybe they should work closely with police or something to make guests feel safe....

They always seem to give extra focus to the skeevy things. Still, I guess that keeps people watching, so you've gotta hand it to their producer - guy knows what he's doing.

On a whim I equipped Phoenix's tiger costume at the start of 6-5 and it may as well be canon it works so well. This case rules.

I'm finishing the last main story case in Spirit of Justice, and I don't understand something. Amara claims that if she were going to channel anyone, it would've HAD to been Inga because he was the only corpse nearby, and everybody's like "Yep, that checks out." When the hell did that become a rule of spirit channeling? Was Phoenix have Mia's body stashed in the gallery somewhere for all those cases where Maya was channeling her? What about that nurse who got killed on the highway; was her body just conveniently close to Kurain Village? Am I crazy, or did they rewrite the rules a little to make this story work? I don't mind a ton if they did (it's magic, after all), but I just wanted to double-check.

I put the alternate costume on Phoenix at the start of the game and pretended those were his vacation clothes and that he hadn't bothered to pack a suit since he didn't expect to need one overseas. Then I switched back to the regular outfit when he came home at the start of 6-5.

I hope the future games stop raising the stakes all the time. I don't need Phoenix and Maya to get a literal death penalty in case 3 to keep me invested! Also I kinda like the pacing of two day trials better. E: Mountaineer posted:I did the opposite.

Raising stakes is fine and good so long as we get cases like Storyteller to balance things out. Storyteller is a great case and I will fight anyone who says otherwise. What we really need is Athena Cykes: Ace Attorney already. Come on Capcom.

Man, I love the Ace Attorney games. Besides finishing Spirit of Justice recently, I've skimmed through some of this thread and watched let's plays of a couple of the older games to jog my memory. Some disconnected thoughts on the series: - I might be (and probably am) wrong about this, but it feels like the number of secondary characters in a given case has dropped over time. In any given case, it feels like I can say, "OK, our defendant is innocent, so one of the two witnesses did it. If one of them is a recurring character, it's the other person. If not, it's whoever gets less testimony initially." I feel like there's a dearth of minor characters and therefore possible red herrings. If you look at the whole cast, you've got a total of four people who are not main protagonists, main antagonists and/or criminals, clients, or victims: Bonny and her sister, Uendo, and Sarge. By comparison, case 1-3 alone had three in Cody, Penny, and Sal. - Something I would love to see introduced to the series is a couple of irrelevant pieces of evidence each case. I feel like it would be a minor but beneficial difficulty boost; these games have gotten pretty easy. - The quality of prosecutors has really dropped over time. Edgeworth remains the series' best prosecutor; he's definitely an antagonist, but he's fair and has a strong character arc over time. Manfred von Karma was the perfect incarnation of "pure evil" prosecutor in a way that Ga'ran failed to match. Franziska, Godot, Blackquill, and Nahyuta are all in a similar boat as gimmicks first and characters second, but it was more enjoyable to face the first three than Nahyuta and they also got more development throughout their cases. Nahyuta's character moments all come in a rush at the end, and he doesn't really seem any different. I guess he's still better than Klavier, though, who is by far the worst in the series. - I love that in AA4, Ema is actually a pretty lovely investigator and that she's struggled to turn her hobbyist ambitions into her career. It's a nice counterpoint to all of the teenage prodigies running around. She gets where she wants to be eventually, but it takes time and baby steps. - In hindsight, Kristoph's supposed motivation for his actions is super goofy. He hears about a well-known magician being accused of a crime, decides it's going to be the case that makes him famous, forges some evidence to set himself up to win the case, and then actually talks to the magician and doesn't get hired for the job. He then proceeds to ruin the life of the poor sap, Phoenix, who did get hired. It's so dumb. - Athena is ready for her turn in the spotlight. She started off in Dual Destinies less ready than Phoenix and Apollo were in 1-1 and 4-1, but she's now at the point where 7-1 should be the real start of her arc as a defense attorney. I also like the Mood Matrix/therapist angles and would love to see that mechanic get some more layers added to it and her analytical psychology to become a bigger part of her legal approach. It's a big way to differentiate her cases from Phoenix and Apollo. - I saw some people criticize Pearl's portrayal in Spirit of Justice as stagnant, but it seemed reasonable to me. She's still a sheltered girl growing up in an unusual culture. As a little kid, she was curious in the kind of broad way that children that age are, but as a teenager, she's curious about very specific things in the outside world and actively wants to pursue them. I think her childish artwork caused a lot of the negativity here, but there are a lot of adults who can't do better than blobs and stick figures (myself included). - This game felt like a perfect way to cap off Apollo's character arc. I'll be happy if he gets a case in future games, but he doesn't need to be the main focus anymore. - I think there's a lot of circumstantial evidence about Inga having a decent side and getting pushed around by Ga'ran, but it's super weird to me that the last case didn't really circle back to wrap up his story. Typically the series is really heavy-handed about stuff like that; I was sure that after the case we would have to present some kind of evidence to Rayfa to prove he loved her or something like that and it didn't happen. - Ranking Ace Attorney game quality: 1 > 3 > 6 > 2 > 5 > 4 - Ranking Ace Attorney game mechanics: Thought Route > Psyche-Locks > Mood Matrix > Dance of Devotion >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Perceive > Forensics - Ranking Ace Attorney kid partners: Maya > Rayfa > Athena > Trucy > Pearl > Ema >>>>>>>>Ahibi - Top five Ace Attorney cases: 1-4, 1-5, 2-4, 3-4, 6-5 - Bottom five Ace Attorney cases: 2-3, 4-3, 4-4, 5-2, 6-1 - I miss Gumshoe.

Edgeworth and Ema are definitely the best characters in the series because they have arcs, and I wouldn't be surprised if they were writer favorites. Blackquill is also the second best prosecutor behind Edgeworth, but I will keep hoping Franziska returns in some capacity. Ema was also the best sidekick after Franziska and if you disagree you're wrong. PS Bring back police chief Gumshoe and his negative salary.

The final case of AA7 is Athena v. Provinstate of Japanifornia to allow Nick to marry Edgeworth. I don't know how this would result from a murder case, but who cares about details?
