Does anyone know if Australia is getting this actually on the 8th, or when it's the 8th in the rest of the world? Because if it's the former that's tonight. :dance:

Australia has the game too, by the way. Apparently we're just lumped in with Europe again. Not that I'll complain if I get this a few hours earlier.

It didn't take them very long to try to recreate Marlon's popularity, I see.

So I'm playing case 2 and with all the characterisation for Trucy and talk of the Gramarye Troupe and in general just acknowledgement of AA4, I reckon they're finally gonna bring up Apollo and Trucy's relationship. There's even a poster of Thalassa and Trucy got some flowers from Lamimoir! Also Apollo's ringtone is the loving guitars loving serenade

Also :siren:you can examine Charley:siren:.

The hardest part of Case 2 for me was presenting the clipboard when you press Retinz, I assumed it wouldn't work because you couldn't connect it to him. I did try the contract though, so that pissed me off when I finally selected the clipboard and Apollo starts talking about the loving contract I'd tried before.

My gripe about Case 4 is that it blatantly only really exists so you get a chance to play as Athena, so presumably they'd have made it for people who like her, yet they spend the whole time making GBS threads on her as somehow less experienced than in 5-3.

It's good, get it. The fourth doesn't suck, it's just underwhelming. I'll put the specifics in tags in case you want to go super blind but it's not a plot spoiler or anything. It's one trial day without an investigation, like any case 1.

And if Dhurke's arm isn't injured then, uh, what the hell. Come to think of it, incorrect assumptions are made about whether both characters in question are alive, and the truth is revealed by opening a coffin. This rules.

It's "Satorha!". The voice clip sounds somehow busier than that, like it should have more consonants or something, but maybe that's just the speakers, I can sort of hear it.

On the topic of voices, it's weird that Rayfa has a voice, and says "Hold It!", but doesn't have a voice clip for "Hold It!". I'm also disappointed that (case 5)Apollo isn't voiced saying "A dragon never yields."

Not to speak for the guy who said it, but something I've noticed is that the more recent games are fond of suddenly making up history for existing characters, like Apollo's situation both in this game and with Clay, and Edgeworth with Dogen in AAI2.

The audience chamber is fine when it's empty... the issue is rendering twenty goddamn guard models. The same thing happens when a bunch slot in behind Ga'ran in court. Case 5 Day 2

Edit: Also is Spirit of Justice the first subtitle in the series that is explicitly related to the content of the game? Justice for All and Trials and Tribulations are vague legal-themed terms, and I still don't know whose destinies were dual. But Spirit of Justice is all about spiritual stuff, justice, and Apollo Justice.

Whole game Also one of your final deductions comes from communing with, literally, the spirit of Justice - Jove Justice. :haw: A good name for a good game.
