    Maybe a little, but not much. Yamazaki has extreme difficulties both with tying a case together and writing overarching plots. This is best seen in Dual Destinies, where we're constantly told about the "Dark Age of the Law" without actually experiencing any of it outside of maybe Themis Legal Academy, but even then, the factors that supposedly led to this dark age pale in comparison to someone like Von Karma. You also win back the public's trust by jailing the Phantom...by using methods the public doesn't agree with. The Phantom was also called such because no trace of him was found on the crime scene...aside from, you know, being caught on the security footage while literally wearing incriminating evidence. 

    In Spirit of Justice, the guy literally invents a new kingdom just to spice things up, then he ties it to Apollo's backstory for some ungodly reason. I'll stop myself here because the more I talk about Yamazaki's writing the more upset I get.

    I'm watching the second game right now, actually. The first game was pretty good but nothing groundbreaking. It was obviously baiting a sequel and there were a few things I didn't agree with.

    Spoiler

    @Dual Destinies
    Yeah, I did think to myself that it's very stupid that they had evidence on the Phantom but just never bothered to check until Phoenix got on the case.

    @Spirit of Justice
    I liked that Apollo got some focus again but I wasn't expecting the weird ass family tree which I have mixed feelings over.I also wasn't fond of the idea of helping this country that gives Phoenix shit and demands his execution just for doing his job. Yeah, yeah, I know, Ga'ran accused Durke of forgery, but it's still dumb.

    Unrelated but this game has an abundance of flashbacks. Like, holy crap there's a lot.

    @Overarching plot
    Now it's been a long time since I played Gyakuten Kenji 2 so I don't remember the story perfectly but I thought that he did a good job at an overarching story there.  Everything that happens is related to Simon Keyes. Even the third case which at first seemed unrelated. What with Gustavia turning out to be his dad and all.

    I guess Yamazaki's writing doesn't bother me to the same extent, haha. I'd prefer Takumi for the next main installment but I'm not getting my hopes up. I think they'll use Yamazaki again.

    Good to hear that The Great Ace Attorney is good. I'll check it out eventually.
