Apparently they're (possibly) announcing something behind closed doors and not at their "unmissable" panel because, uh, Capcom, I guess.

Wright started being a lawyer at the late age of 23. He must have been held back multiple years.

Given his backstory about wanting to save Edgeworth, it's probably because he decided a little later than he should have.

Reminder that Phoenix gets disbarred not even two weeks after Edgeworth's whole ordeal in Investigations 2.

Also it continues to be a loving shame that game never got localized because we will likely never see Debeste ever again.

How can someone not feel pure joy seeing Apollo dunk on Klavier.

Also vice versa. Even though Klavier is incredibly boring as a prosecutor compared to the others, their dynamic is extremely good.

I would be down for Athena getting her own game but I'll settle for any characterization or arc beyond that fragment of her backstory in Dual Destinies. It seems like aside from her mood matrix thing and the incident with her mother, they don't really know what they want to do with Athena.

The problem with Nahyuta is they saved all the character development for the very end and while they made his personality a smug antagonising jackass they forgot to also attempt to make him likable outside of a few very short moments. The reveal is supposed to make this better but it ultimately feels like too little, too late.

Which is why I'm sure we won't see (SoJ spoilers)Armie again either.

Ehhh, that reveal's not exactly plot critical, unlike Iris being Dahlia's twin, which is relevant to a sizable chunk of the game. Still doubt we'll see her again though, which sucks

Switch to Athena and/or Apollo. Be done with Phoenix already, because he's basically done with character development.

SoJ's case 1 feels really bizarre in that sense because he literally says "I have ten years of experience" but then he's back to internally monologuing about bluffing and hoping something falls on his lap, even in the moments where it's in the Court Record.

Yeah, ten years of doing exactly that.

Rayfa was interesting because while she was obnoxious she was so in a kind of endearing way and it made me wonder if they were going to make her sympathetic and even more likable by the end. They did. Poor Rayfa, her mom sucks a whole lot

Funnily enough, Rayfa ends up being more sympathetic and likable than Nahyuta when all is said and done. Weird! It's almost as if Nahyuta was too unlikable for too long for the reveal to have any impact :thunk:

There's also miu's colorful nicknames but that's because she's a foul-mouthed rear end in a top hat

Also Kokichi gives nicknames, because he's a goofball, and also a loving rear end in a top hat

I can't really think of any character from V3 that throws out a bunch of nicknames that doesn't have an excuse for doing so

EDIT: yeah I guess the other games do it but reminder that those are teenagers, a lot of them pretty eccentric teenagers at that

turnabout big top is not the worst case in the trilogy let alone the whole series

I can imagine cases in the other games that are just as bad (turnabout serenade, the second half of the final case of investigations 1) but I can't think of any case in the original 3 worse than big top

The third case of Investigations 1 is not terrible, but it's probably hands down one of the most dull cases in the series. Aside from meeting Kay and Lang, everything else is incredibly uninteresting and unmemorable, which is saying something considering both Ema and Meekins show up in that one. (Also Oldbag, bleh) It's probably the only time I broke down and said "OH MY GOD I DO NOT CARE" at the main plot of a case as it slowly unfolded. I just could not bring myself to give a poo poo.

The Chief Prosecuttor in AAI2 is arrested as a murderer a few weeks before Phoenix is disbarred. Think about that.

Nah, Blaise Debeste was a former chief prosecutor, probably the previous. He was the chairman of the Prosecutorial Investigation Committee when he was arrested.

People rag on the last half of the final case, and rightfully so, but everything in case 3 aside from meeting Kay and Lang for the first time is soooooo loving borrrrriiiiiiiiiinnnngggg

Investigations 1 is pretty okay when it's at its best but it's terminally dull at its worst

There's also the part in case 4 where he triggers Athena for no real good reason. Like what the gently caress dude. And we're still supposed to think he's not a total rear end in a top hat when the big reveal happens later.
