Ohhh, it was the victim's passport. I thought it was Larry's, that she was using it to keep track of his time to speak to him.

Yeah, that's a nice first case. And an innocent verdict, finding the killer, having a toupee thrown at you, and seeing the killer froth at the mouth like he just took TV cyanide - if that's where the escalation starts, then I'm definitely eager for more. Just how deep is this rabbit hole?

Deep.

Presumably only Phoenix can see the ghost. Right? (This is my first exposure to the series outside of a t-shirt someone got me in law school).

Having the clothing and hairstyle of Maya makes sense. Appearing to have her own body and face yet having Maya's hair colour much less so.

It'd be a bit lame for this series with it's love of wild character design to just have Mia talking through Maya.

Uhh.... but isn't that exactly what's happening? Would you mind elaborating on what exactly you mean by this? My guess is that you think "just having Mia talking through Maya" would essentially just completely look like Mia in Maya's outfit, whereas retaining Maya's hair colour makes the design a little different from that, and therefore less boring/more interesting? Something along those lines?

What I meant is just having Mia talk through Maya without any visual changes.

In that case, what exactly does that have to do with this?


This guy meant that having Mia's body and face yet not hair colour was weird, not that she should have looked entirely like normal Mia or Maya.

eh chalk it up to misreading

Oldbag is consistently a headache when she appears in cases.
She is quite possibly the personification of this worlds contempt for defense lawyers.

He's too short to pull the sword clean out the scabbard, so he can never unsheathe it, is how I see it.

The reason movies and TV always cut out the 'sheathe from the back' is because for any kind of average sized sword you physically cant.

Also the witness testimony conflicts with the cause of death.

Don't forget she blackmailed Hammer for years too. And don't write off the self-defense "murder". Japanifornia is probably not a good place to play the self-defense card.

To be fair, that's still pretty commonly used to refer to someone if you've got a Chinese background. Can't speak for any other backgrounds, though.

It feels like they're trying way too hard to establish some new marketable characters here. Officer Beanpole there, for example, feels a lot more... overdesigned than Gumshoe, if that makes sense.

They have more pixels and memory to work with so they go nuts.

Yes. Definitely. To the point where the judge in later games gets used to trials getting absurd whenever Phoenix pokes his head into the court.

Now let it sink in that the final cases for some of the most recent games could be considered to be just as long (if not longer) than this one. :v:

Though a lot more happens in them than here.
And they are the culmination of their respecrive games in all ways.
