I just finished case 4.

It was filler but I'd say it was one of the better filler this series has had. It definitely isn't up there with THE CIRCUS. I actually enjoyed it a bunch but I also enjoyed watchiing Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju. Also considering how the story is going, the timeline and where Athena said Apollo was it makes sense for it to be where it was

Also the end of case 3 drat. I think it might be one of the most emotional finishes a case has had.

Also there's no good side in the Khur'ain situation, is there? It's just two violent extremes, and while one of them has a point, they're still being psychopaths. I guess it's nice that Phoenix is making new friends though.


You know the saying: Just keep playing.

So I just finished Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney 6: Apollo Justice Ace Attorney 3: Spirit of Justice: The Reckoning.

I call it that because this is a solid arc in Apollo's story. And for a dude who's career wasn't jump started by the death of his mentor like Phoenix I think he's done really well for himself.

I daresay none of the cases were weak. I know some people knock 4 for being 'filler' but I still think it's a really solid side case and the people involved worked out nicely. I also liked that they showed a person with MPD (even if it was a bit fantastical) and didn't disparage them or go with the first supposition that the 'hidden' personality was the killer. Athena got to do a bunch of stuff but I don't agree that she's there just yet for her to just fly *completely* on her own considering the events of the last game but even if she showed a bit of weakness she showed no signs of breaking down like in the past. I appreciated that bit of growth.

All in all I'd have to say this is definitely in the top 3 of the series.

... but for gently caress sakes when are they going to tell Apollo Trucy is his half sister? :v: I guess I gotta wait for Ace Attorney 7: Apollo Justice 4: REVENGEANCE considering they tease the poo poo out of it in the credits. :v:

Considering they're not even supposed to have defense attorneys, I'd say the judge is surprisingly lenient on a guy who clearly has no idea what he's talking about.

Yeah, considering the fact he even lets Phoenix do what he does in the first case and his actions in future cases says that his Magistry actually cares about the law even with the DCA in tact.

I think the Judge came around surprisingly well in the first case in spite of the whole "attornies are lying scum" thing, but then after that he went back to a jerk again. Which, I guess, could also be the fault of Nahyuta being there putting pressure on everyone.

Actually, going by twitter, it is in fact a poo poo game with bad names that doesn't hold a candle to the greatness that is Apollo Justice.

I loving hate this fanbase sometimes.

I don't know what crazy rear end universe twitter you have but even if I don't think it's as bad as some people claim I still have to peg it as last on the list and everybody I've seen says the same. :v:

My theory is that this is the second in a new trilogy. Or a Quadrilogy if you count AJ.

(Beaten Game Spoilers)

There's no way they'd leave this the final one especially with some things still being open ended and who shows up during the credits. And if she dies I will be VERY CROSS! Though I will say that this group has been really good at making previous open ended things managing to be super duper important somehow. Like I totally did not expect Thalassa Gramarye's first husband, who wasn't extrapolated on that much, being used in this way. That was fantastic and I was actually super happy I played through Apollo Justice.

There's a reason I call this Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney 6: Apollo Justice Ace Attorney 3: Spirit of Justice: The Reckoning!

Also case 4 might be my favorite side case and Uendo was great. Come fight me.

Oh, another thing I feel like I've got to gush about. This game did a good job of feeling longer without no case going to day 3.

Probably the only knock I'd give is that the dusting mechanic in this game feels the worst compared to every other time it showed up. But, yeah, I loved the hell out of Spirit of Justice and would put it in my top 3. And I have no idea how to rank my top 3. :v:

Yeah, the interactive 3d environments were really hard to control because of this. In Episode 5, rotating the suit case took forever because it would just jump about, and generally be really finicky. Looking for blood traces around in the chair also took me forever because I'm fairly sure it was just not registering or something. I love the idea, but it's just really frustrating to do.

I don't think all of her testimony should be taken quite so literally. There's a some ambiguity and stuff not really explained.

For what happened 23 years ago it was mentioned she was drugged, right? So it's pretty easy to see how Ga'ran manipulated her into believing her version of what happened.
No seance means no other evidence to prove her wrong and Ga'ran even got the case scuffled by accusing Dhurke of forging evidence.

And it was mentioned that she was kidnapped (or re-kidnapped depending on how you view it) after Dhurke rescued her ten years later. So I'm sure Ga'ran used Rayfa as leverege on Amara to remain hidden. It's pretty much how she works.

Also, I'm confused, when did she frame Dhurke because I don't remember that at all.

When she channeled him to make it look like he killed Inga. She was helping her sister, but it didn't really seem like she had a gun to her head.

Oh, that bit. Now I remember, I was getting some events confused. That case was pretty packed. :v:

I'd say she pretty much still had a gun to her head: Rayfa. If she didn't then she had no reason to confess to killing Inga once Apollo placed her on the scene. The only way it makes sense is if Ga'ran ordered her to do so just in case. I haven't seen anybody claim that Amara is in the clear for not having done anything wrong but I'd say it's pretty clear that Ga'ran was manipulating everything the way she wants to go. So I'd say trying to call it 'two evil sisters' is going kinda far.

Apollo's bracelet is just a way to give him some insight into a hidden thing. It's not bad but the slow text with no way to go forward or back just makes it hard to deal with.

I think this is a tiny bit of a localisation misstep? I'unno, it just seems to fall on the wrong side of things you'd expect not-Japanners to pick up on. I guess it didn't make anything completely incomprehensible, so that's something, especially in a case that hinges on the difference between soba and udon noodles.

The amazing thing with case 4's localization is that they gave them brand new Japanese names so the puns work phonetically in english.

DLC Talk!

I liked the case a bunch but I wouldn't say it was as good as DD's DLC case. But that thing set a REALLY high bar.

Personally, I saw it as Edgeworth being Edgeworth. He's always just prosecuted his way unless there was something behind the scenes going on making things more dangerous.
Don't forget what he's said about finding the truth - It's only when the prosecutor and defense attorney butt heads that the truth makes itself known. And Phoenix is at his best when
he's being majorly pressed. Remember: It was only just last game that the dude accused Athena of killing her mother.

Edgeworth might be enlightened. But in court he's still a dick for finding the truth. :v: So I don't think it's a weird change or actually anykind of change at all.
