I think it's implied that every lawyer in Japanifornia went to Themis.

Wasn't Klavier from Themis and that's why he did the thing where he played the song?

I'm not sure what you're referencing but Themis wasn't introduced until DD and I don't believe they made any reference to him being an alumnus.

E: Nope now it is I who should look things up before I post, he did study at Themis but also abroad.

I’ve since had my first kid since SoJ so I’m guessing I just don’t have patience right now or something is different presentation wise that just isn’t working for me. I can’t get into DGS at all right now 😔

Gonna try again since y’all say it’s good though but man. The first case was fine, the second bored me.

The second case is different from the rest of the cases since there's no trial but there's something else that's really cool, it takes a little while to get to. I will also say, the third case is where the game steps up.

Finished watching AAI2-3, and it's surprising how weak the case is considering it involves Gregory Edgeworth, who is otherwise super strong.

Just finished DGS case 3. I really enjoyed it!


Especially after how much of a downer case 2 was (sometimes your BFF just get murdered by accident.). Personally I was eh on the great deduction mechanic (I would have liked it a lot more if they didn't signpost the This Is Wrong Alert on the first go through so you could try and find it yourself) Susato is a bright point though, she's great.

On case 3, I really liked how the jurors swapped constantly (gently caress YOU GRANDMA) and how they foreshadow mr. megundal forging the evidence with stuff like Gina playing with the same style of coin etc. Have to say I was very not expecting peppy tiny inventor at the end there, haha. I started case 4 and thats one hell of a hook though, very excited to play more later

aieeeee SoJ case 5 trial 1 oh my god the cave adventure Dhurke is such a good dad and i feel so bad for apollo but OH MY GOD we're up against wright who for a moment gets hobonick shades with his front-on portraits but at least becomes an instant doofus again in court

paul atishon is such a goober that i'm wondering if phoenix is being coerced again given maya's conspicuously absent. the animations with his plastic plaque is hilarious though

Well you're pretty sharp. For the record I was already hype for case 5 at this point, and trust me it's going to get crazy wild.

I really, really enjoyed case 5 and it made the slog through Nahuyta's assholiness in previous cases worth it for the events that unfold.

Oh man things just got reeaal wild (case 5 day 2) i'm almost disappointed it actually WAS maya getting kidnapped like shelley de killer i thought there'd be a twist but that will probably segue her into being a witness aaaa

i'm wildly developing theories of inga going "heh i knocked you out then killed myself and set my death up to fool the seance just to own you dhurke!! checkmate!!!" being channeled by garan in the trial :allears: i can't wait!!

I'm pretty sure you're the only person in the thread playing SoJ right now, so especially fluff like that really doesn't need any tagging

But I guess there's no real harm either. I dunno, extraneous spoiler tags just bother me.

AAAA AAAAAA (case 5 trial 2) THAT JRPG FINAL BOSS TRANSFORMATION

i'm really on the rollercoaster ride now. inga's note reminded me of something in another vn mystery game where one of the villains couldn't detect faces (prosopagnosia?) but i'm not sure yet if it's going that way. pretty sure nayna's going to be the queen amara but i'm not convinced it's that cut and dry

also god poor rayfa :(

double AAAAAAAA (case 5 trial 2) I genuinely wasn't expecting them to go the prosopagnoia route with Inga but that seance where the faceless Dhurke is standing next to the Holy Mother is such a tweeeeest. Nayna's testimony is great and I wish we had more of her cause having a granny berate Apollo was great

also lmao at maya going 'i whined like a brat until he gave me a tv and burgers' during her kidnapping

I also wasn't expecting Amara to basically be The True Final JRPG Boss, she basically could helm an SMT game i'll have to see where it goes!!

Merilan
Mar 7, 2019

-triple- AAAAAAA!! (still case 5 trial 2) oh my god that entire segment building up to apollo realising dhurke was dead all along had me in tears. it was done so well and the build-up was heartbreaking as he keeps hoping that he's wrong and he isn't :( :( :(

i definitely foresaw that it's not the end because the whole topic with apollo's dad hasn't come up yet and i'm pretty sure we'll discuss the case of 23 years ago and finally see his seance from where this heading aaa, aaaa, aaaaaa but this twist!! amara :(

It's truly impressive how much they did with him really in just one case. His relationship with Dhurke was really only explored in 6-5 but they built it up so well.
