Waffleman_ posted:It's the Meiji and Victorian eras, so between 1868 and like 1903. Yeah, I'm mostly going off of Soseki Natsume, since he's the one actual historical figure. 1901-1903 is the span he spent in Great Britain, and he states in the case 3 that he's been in London for about a year, so early 1902 would match that.

1-4 It's weird seeing Soseki Natsume as this much of a caricature but he fits in nicely with the larger-than-life AA cast and I really enjoyed his little monologue about being alone in this country and wanting to entrust his fate to Ryunosuke because they share a mother tongue.

I love awkward Ryunosuke so much Also (1-1) I'm clearly just at the beginning but I was sure that the "wah" noises were some sort of clunky indication of where the dodgy statements were for the tutorial case and suddenly the soldier is stuffing an infant behind his back, glad to see the game getting off to a running start Also also the names are all great but holy poo poo Auchi

4-X The fourth case in Japanese was originally 吾輩と霧の夜の冒險/Wagahai to Kiri no Yoru no Bouken, which literally means "Me and my journey on the clouded night". However, the title is not translatable to English, because Wagahai is a direct reference to Natsume Soseki's Novel Wagahai wa Neko dearu in reference to the protagonist who is a cat. Just by looking at the title, a Japanese person would immediately understand that there is a reference to Natsume Soseki. So they localized it to 'Adventure of the Clouded Kokoro', another reference to Natsume Souseki's famous novel Kokoro. This is why it sounds so weird.

drat, I wasn't feeling the first two cases of GAA2 but the 3rd goes all out. It's funny that people were saying GAA 1-1 was too long, I think it was one of the best intro cases yet. Ryunosuke is inexperienced and lacks confidence but is sharp, and it really comes through.

My main complaint is that case 1 should have just ended when the plates were brought. I think the whole swapped plates detour didn’t need to be there — just have the officer and the merchant be funny witnesses who lied at the beginning in the case instead of trying to tie up their character threads

Case 5 intro: Sholmes has just run out of corphine and/or mocaine. I appreciate how obvious it is, even if no one will ever remotely allude to it. I've really warmed up to the characters in this game. Sholmes is just a gem, but I also appreciate how Naruhodo manages to feel like his own character despite being the one with the most license to just be a Phoenix clone, and Susato may be my favorite assistant (well, after the one in 3-5, of course).

G1-2 I always felt like there's this huge contrast between Herlock's wackiness and this case's unrelentingly grim conclusion. There's just no satisfaction to be had here, only tragedy that no one can fix. Not a bad thing it's just so sad.

I said this way back after playing the fan translation, but this game really takes the series' usual narrative conventions and just kind of rips them to shreds. It's really hard to predict where things are gonna go and they love breaking the usual "rules". So glad I decided to replay the first one since there are all sorts of tiny details I'm catching on a second run, really looking forward to seeing where this all goes in game 2.

If someone is playing this on PC, I have made a small mod to fix a few issues: https://github.com/AdmiralCurtiss/dgs_hackfix/releases Primarily the game being hardcoded to 30 fps when it seems to run perfectly fine at arbitrary higher ones.

I was surprised the game didn't try to make you prove that the blood splatter didn't come from an exit wound. There could easily have been ten minutes dedicated to arguing about it before you point to the post mortem report.

I love how flagrantly un-impartial these juries can get. Case G1-4 One juror has a clear and vocal grudge against the defense, and three others are tangentially related to the crime by virtue of being within walking distance of the incident at the time it happened.
