Sooks Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Lmao Lmao 56 minutes ago, Acacia Sgt said: If I recall correctly, lawyers in Japan can indeed do that. Don't know if to the exact extent these games let you, but they can do investigative work of their own. That’s actually cool. I should probably stop questioning every facet of a legal system I know nothing about, but now I’m curious… 37 minutes ago, Eltosian Kadath said: Ah Gumshoe makes up for his questionable intelligence with his righteous heart, and raw gumption. You will be glad he is on the case soon enough. I hope so, for the AA world’s sake. 37 minutes ago, Eltosian Kadath said: a police office would reject candidates that scored too high on an intelligence test, as they found the retention rate of intelligent officers was too low to be worth the cost of training... That’s sad on multiple levels… 37 minutes ago, Eltosian Kadath said: Oh, time for poor little Sooks to suffer through Wendy Oldbag... Having seen her at court, I thought she was fairly funny. And the Steam achievements for this game imply that she is a recurring character somehow. 37 minutes ago, Eltosian Kadath said: Currently Phoenix's assistant, but more in general, heir to Fey clan of spirit mediums. Do attorneys get assistants in court? Although now that you mention the spirit thing and considering what happened last time, I can see why he would pick her.

Acacia Sgt Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 It's tempting... but would it be petty that, when I write about the Somniel in TDatP, I actually put emphasis on the well being an ordinary well? I know it would most likely would, yet I'd find it cathartic if I do. Agh, kinda frustrating to that have thought... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooks Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 (edited) Sal Manella (the character) is the stuff of nightmares. And he made Maya cry. Also, we’re supposed to believe that no one in the meeting could’ve committed the murder because the road was blocked by the fallen statue, but bro could’ve just stepped on the grass to the side of the statue and walked around, It’s kind of an issue that when moving between places in the investigating section, you have to move through places in the order you actually would walking around to get there, even tho it’s just a menu. (Like if you wanted to go into a trailer that was in a specific studio, you need to open up the menu, press the studio button, then open the menu again and press the room button.) Before it didn’t really matter cause you would only go to a place once or twice but here with a lot of back and forth it gets annoying. It’s all the same menu anyway, so why couldn’t it have been one menu? But regardless, onto the rest of the trial.

Sooks Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 The most shocking twist of this case wasn’t that the mysterious and brooding woman was actually the murderer, but rather that Edgeworth helped out. With the most basic, obvious contradiction on the planet (“I didn’t bring my notes to the scene where we discovered the murder because obvy I wasn’t gonna need them, there was a murder lmao”) that I really don’t know how she ever thought was a good idea considering she hid a fatal accident for 5 years, but okay. And after that, she forgets which actor is the one who was injured? Why are your last hurrahs the easiest flaws to find so far? Aren’t you supposed to be smart? Although what I really don’t get is the entire cover up. If you killed him in self defense… why go through all the trouble to hide it? Yes there was the cover up from five years ago but attorneys detectives are now all over everything, keeping it covered up would pretty difficult. And all that to risk a probable life sentence? 0 IQ villain. Anyway the next episode picture has Edgeworth on the cover, so Edgeworth development time.

Yes, red white and blue is a clsssic Saturday morning cartoon villain. lol everyone loves Edgeworth, even I love Edgeworth and I'm weird. It's ol' Redd that's the problem. 8 hours ago, Sooks said: >anime protagonist >24 Hence why the games make a point of calling him old. By Japanese standards he might as well get a shovel and start digging his own grave. 8 hours ago, Sooks said: Also what is Maya’s actual job She's 17. 7 hours ago, Lightchao42 said: Eh, I kind of like that Redd White acts untouchable but is a complete moron on the stand. He's probably so confident that he didn't consider what to do if he was ever put on the spot. Or maybe I already assume successful people are secretly stupid, maybe. No yeah, that's true, but the execution's just kind of lame. A side effect of being such an early case, I'm afraid. There are endearing idiot villains later in the series, but this one's just a boring idiot. 6 hours ago, Eltosian Kadath said: Case 5...despite its great moments, it drags on too long, and with too slow of pacing...I guess what I am trying to say is I have a hard time calling a good case, despite some great moments. That's fair. Honestly, I just love the villain. The villain carries that case super hard. 6 hours ago, Sooks said: Lmao Nothing funnier than when Judge just randomly starts talking like he's competent and his court isn't a circus. 4 hours ago, Sooks said: Sal Manella (the character) is the stuff of nightmares. Remember when I told you you can really tell the Japan at times? Yeah... This series loves its pedophiles. It thinks pedophiles are really really funny and makes a point to feature one per game. This one isn't even the worst one. Nah, that one's coming next game. 1 hour ago, Sooks said: >confronts a lady who you know covered up a “fatal accident” with incontrovertible proof she did so >”I’ll talk to you, but only in my trailer as opposed to out in the open here” >agrees Even Phoenix Wright is dumb.

Oh well, now the trial should probably end because of the law thing, but who knows? This is the first of the moments where everyone starts loving Gumshoe. He just confronts four massive bodyguards by himself to protect these people he barely knows. And he wins. ...It's also the first of the moments where Phoenix left his brain at home and refuses to report crimes that happen to him while in the midst of investigating shit. It's going to be ten times more frustrating next case. I'll talk more about it when you get there. 25 minutes ago, Sooks said: The most shocking twist of this case wasn’t that the mysterious and brooding woman was actually the murderer, but rather that Edgeworth helped out.

Edgeworth trying to come up with something while he objects is one of the top 10 funniest moments in the series. Maybe even top 3. As for the villain... I'd chalk it up to panic. She's clearly a shady individual, and her first instinct here was probably to try and avoid the trouble altogether.
