We've already met 3 out of the 4 best characters in the game, possibly even the series. Thankfully, they're all main characters.

I've always assumed that the original thought process went something along the lines of this: "poo poo, everyone's name in this game is a Japanese pun! No one's going to understand these." "Why don't we localize the names into English puns?" "But why would there be a bunch of people with English names walking around Japan?" "idk let's just say it takes place in a major city on the west coast to explain some of the more Asian things; it's not that Japanese a game." "Sounds good." (Years later they regret this when a traditional Japanese small town protected by yokai has to somehow exist in California.) (But really, that's part of the charm of the games to me, so who cares.)

Dragonwagon posted:As evidenced by the two games with him as the protagonist. It really says something about the Ace Attorney universe that Edgeworth's superpower in those games is Logic. Mostly it says things about other prosecutors and the police.

This is still one of my favorite Edgeworth lines in the whole series. Admittedly, I still haven't played Investigations II, but I'm pretty sure it would still stand. Underneath his bravado and cravat, Edgeworth is such a dork. And that might be a super common trope, but I still love it.

Oh boy, the next case is one of my favorites in the entire series.

resurgam40 posted:Japan is certainly such a world... Christmas over there is pretty much just an excuse to party and visit KFC for most folks; no point advertising to the ~1% of people for whom it is a religious holiday. And dates! In Japan, Christmas is largely a romantic holiday for the teenage plus crowd. New Years is instead the family holiday. Children still give gifts on Christmas though, I believe, as the commercial parts were successfully imported. Just not the religious or the centuries of winter solstice traditions that exist in the west.

Rather Watch Them posted:When I played this case, assuming that Lana is innocent (which I did, because I'm not a monster) makes this part difficult. Not because the testimony is flawless, but because there's too many flaws. Which one do I pick first? Yeah, that's a problem I often have with Ace Attorney games. This, or I know the conclusion it wants me to draw, I just don't know how to get there from what I have. Or I'm a step a head and the game wants me to establish something else now.

Really, the lesson of this case is "if you're a corrupt chief of police, maybe don't have safe with a stupidly easy password where you stash incriminating evidence".

 to the bellboy's scene. Are you planning on doing the other games eventually still, or was this just too much work to do again? Either way, this was a fantastic LP!
