It is a pretty accurate depiction of the series. I swear this bumbling idiot will believe anything, so long as it's not coming from the mouth of someone on the defense's side.

It happens so often though where the prosecution will make an argument and the judge will just take their word for it while when the defense makes an argument you have to bring incredibly specific proof in order to convince him.

I mean from a gameplay perspective I get it but Jesus Christ.

Not as much work as much as it is routine fault

I

and this might be an understimation

Utterly and completely despise routines

But

I am also very effective at them

Which leads to me feeling like a machine and less like a human and life becoming utterly colorless and everyday just being the same over and over and over and over and over and over again

Even before my illness when i worked full time back then i felt the same. I hate that feeling.

Yep, I feel ya there. Endless routines are soul crushing and yet It's the best way to stay productive.

Curse these damn social capitalist norms that insist we as humans must base our worth by our productivity and have to always strive for something "greater" when all I wish to do is survive and live as I wish.

Ahaha, close. The official explanation is that the Immigration Ban Laws of the early 20th Century were never enacted. As a result, Asian immigration to California continued unimpeded.

Ah, I see.

Still It's funny hearing Maya say "My ancestors must've walked through this village" when that would only be a handful of generations back.

Still old, but ancestors implies much older to me.

Then again, i heard university in Murica is like Grade School but for Adults or something

Definitely depends on the school, but yeah regardless of the school nothing is going to save you from the difficulty of finding a job that actually pays in fair wages over here

Luckily there are some good unionized work places and as the younger less tolerant generations grow into working positions we'll start to see more of that.

Hopefully anyways.

My MVP here (who I absolutely recommend bringing) was Panette with Ike, who I believe had her base stats. Forge a pole axe so that she can OHKO bow knights with it (shouldn’t be that hard, I think mine was +3 with an engraving on it (don’t remember which one)) and have her use great aether with it, she can kill as many bow knights as you can get it in her range at once. And delete one horse per turn.

I had Timerra with a forged ridersbane doing something similar deleting horses but she was like 1 damage short of OHKOing so I had to keep her glued to Alear rip.

A possible handwave could be that it doesn't stop the Fey Clan to have moved centuries earlier.

The Japanese at least certainly made at least one trip before the isolation period:

Hasekura Tsunenaga - Wikipedia

Some Japanese from that expedition did settled in Spain. Plausible to say others did in the Americas. It's likely not a thing Capcom has thought of, perhaps, but it's not hard to come up with it as a possible answer ourselves to make sense out of it.

I'm assuming Mana Khemia hits the reset button with its second game.

Actually no, it takes place 15 years after.

Btw, Iris 1 and 2 are connected I just found out. Iris 2 is a prequel. I take it this connection is pretty thin tho.

But that means it's really just Iris 3 that is not connected to any game at all then.

This is why Maya gets framed for murder in every game. I like to think the judge is just waiting for Maya to actually commit murder so he can finally be vindicated.

....why is the only crime anybody ever wants to commit in this universe is murder?

To show us or actually happening? Since most make sense.

1-1 was because the accused was one of Phoenix's friends.

1-2 was inevitable. Victim was Mia and the accused was her own sister and no one wanted to help her, so Phoenix couldn't just walk away.

1-3 was chosen by Maya because the accused was the actor from her favorite show.

1-4 was because Edgeworth was involved. Enough said.

1-5 it was Emma seeking Phoenix out, and he saw Lana and Emma as too similar to the Fey sisters to decline.

I don't quite remember why 2-1 happened to involve Phoenix. Gumshoe? I mean, Maggie was the accused after all...

2-2 because Maya.

So... pretty much.

Yeah I get that but like, idk, throw some variety. There are other crimes than murder. Instead of Maya being accused of murder again, maybe this time she gets accused of robbing the bank or some shit idk.

On the other end of the tonal spectrum, it's like the Purge movies. They really made a concept that was "all crimes are legal for one night" and the only crimes anybody ever wants to do in those movies is murder.

Jupiter needs to stop with the picross (which I do like actually), and get back to making pinball games. I don't care if b/c costs mean they have to be digital-only, or if I have to pay extra for additional PokeGen/licenses boards. Pokemon Pinball was a fun time-waster back in the day, and SRP looks to have been in exactly the same vein.

Though why do I see Gundam Deathscythe and not Wing? Or is this not Endless Waltz so it's not-Wing Zero + GBC graphics are messing me up?

Would have to be a really distant prequel. Enough for another ancient era where alchemists screwed up. Or maybe Lil' Iris grew up to be Ancient Iris- but then where were Felt and Viese to stop the creation of that misshapen monstrosity born of alchemists' folly?

Admittedly, it was stated that the entire world wasn't shown in Iris 2 when you synthesize a globe. Two locations were recycled for AI2 that were in AI1, but I thought it b/c Gust was lazy.

Yeah but I don't think Marie counts? Cause like in her case, her thing is that she's the worst student in the school's history, which is really funny (also I suppose it's more like a college. She is 19 at the start, 24 by the end).

But like none of the Salburg games gave you "school assignments" in the way that Mana Khemia probably did. Heck Mana Khemia might be where the more segmented approach to the timelimits began.

Now that I think about it, the only other time Gust reused some locations was in Lulua.... because it was the first "fourth" game, a celebration of Arland, which means some returning locations were in order. Given a glow up and a few of them even got some new narrative significance.

Plankton from SpongeBob is a copepod, so you best hope one of them in your tap water doesn't try to steal the Krabby Patty formula.

There was one time Phoenix took a theft case, but it ended up leading into a murder case.

The Great Ace Attorney games have an assault case (but the victim is comatose, so practically it makes no difference) and an attempted murder case. Some other cases mix up the formula a bit, but a dead person is involved a majority of the time. "Murder is dramatic" is the likely explanation as to why that is.

Huh, so I guess that means I was right in feeling that the paralogues are massively stat inflated?

Well, now I feel validated in waiting on many of them. I really should’ve picked hard huh.

Pinball only had TV Show Wing, so no Wing Zero, just regular Wing.

Also, interestingly enough, Pinball had a few OG mechs. When do they show up in SRW?

Make some of the laws of said kinda dystopian(?) world forbid public displays of affection, particularly for certain kinds of people. Wholesome Purge right there, two mutual and kind lovers trying to find a safe space in a lawless world where they can be themselves for a day. In their search for such a place where they can be at ease, they discover countless scenes of brutal carnality that the viewer can only wish to unsee. But it makes the couple's bleak pursuit of peace ever more endearing to have it surrounded by such darkness.
