Sorry. I'll be careful and stay out of politics next time, alright.

How many creative ways can we come up with to implicate Maya of another murder? One variant of the "Dying Clue that's not a Dying Clue" I can come up with is that the name written down with blood wasn't actually meant to point towards the defendant, but was actually a means of writing a password (it has an underscore in between the first and last name) for a computer or some-such. Also, in my fanfiction case, it would actually be Pearl who would be the defendant, as a twist.

Well, it seems that "GoYou Airlines" isn't the only name that's kept in the AAI Collection of AAI:ME: In Case 5, when Wendy hands the box of Samurai Dogs to Edgeworth before he makes a discovery of a red dot, he notices something that resembles a Japanese flag fan. In the DS translation, it was called "Rising Sun Dogs", but here, in the AAI Collection? They're now refered to as "Hinomaru Dogs"! Weird!

I remember the term "hinomaru" being used in the DS version to, but not for the brand name. Maybe they were being cautious and trying to avoid Imperial Japan connotations with "Rising Sun" now that the game's being sold in Korea and Chinese-speaking territories.

I'm currently on I-5 myself. The "Extraterrestrial rights?!" line in that case will always get a laugh out of me.

Finished Prosecutors Gambit, Gusto was such a despicable culprit, and his victim wasn't any better. A lot of what happened in the present can be traced back to them.

Honestly, I'm kinda arguing we should straight-up cut the Visual Novel section and move them all to Video Games.

And there are a few other threads about Visual Novels on the Video Game section, like the the thread for Famicom Detective Club.

Wow! I'm quite surprised that AAI2:PG is kind of the first Ace Attorney game to feature a transgender actor doing the voice work for a character... in this case Eustace. https://x.com/EndigoPink/status/1832375086134812965

Is it really a surprise? Ace Attorney is not a series known for using much voice acting in the first place.

Good news that they have a transgender VA though. :D

I still can't get over that name, Eustace........

Ah well I'll get used to it.

Manny Coachen must've inhaled a ton of whitcrystal oil fumes from burning all that fake money to look like he does at 31, let alone 24. I wonder if his design is supposed to be based off of Sean Penn?

Finally finished Investigations 2. A pretty good game, though perhaps I would have enjoyed it a bit more if I hadn’t already been aware of most of the twists—that’s what happens when you don’t receive a localization for over a decade, I suppose.

I have to say, I think the Investigation portions of…um, the Investigations games are the best in the series? Naturally, given the title, they are focused on a lot more than in the more trial-focused games in the main series, but still, I wouldn’t mind if they incorporated elements from them in future games. Or hell, now that both games are available in the West and they’re fresh in everyone’s mind, maybe we could see a new Investigations game?

Oh God! Natural light!

It's kinda funny the game ends with "happy end, everyone's happy" and then you look at the dates and realize Phoenix is gonna get disbarred less than a week later

Man, there's such a subtle anxiety for the future knowing what happens next huh?

I've just gotten to the start of the third case myself. I played the fan translation a few years back but not enough for all of the game's fine details to thoroughly permeate my brain yet. And obviously, no knock against the fan translation of course, the new script is much more professionally written. I would still think though, concerning the second case, that unless it comes with a sheathe that we don't see, inducing an alligator to swallow a bladed dagger should do much worse to it than make it not feel well, in Regina's words.

Some of the turns of phrase ("man of culture") and the new characters having much clearer vocal clips than the returning ones make it obvious that Investigations 2 was newly localized and officially released in the 2020s versus the early 2010s.

I'm a little surprised that her being accused or murder via spirit channeling never happened, even with the game set in spirit medium country, where communing with the dead was the main method of putting someone on trial.

I could have sworn she was accused of murder again in the third case in Spirit.

[up] She was, but from memory, it was basically the usual her being accused because of circumstantial evidence, since the spirit testimony was inconclusive. It wasn't quite Tahrust accusing her of murdering him. I was thinking more Gregory accusing Yogi of killing him, that kind of deal.

Oh okay, that makes sense.

It's really telling that the games where Maya isn't accused of murder are the ones where she has no major role. [lol]

Makes me wonder if there are any times she's been falsely accused of murder off-screen and had to rely on someone else to get her a non-guilty verdict—

It's funny to think that the person who's been accused of murder the second most is Phoenix himself, at three.

I think he could catch up to Maya if he put in the hours.

I forget, was Maya ever accused of the murder of Elise Deauxnim? I know she's the final witness in that trial.

Both Dahlia and Godot make that argument, yes. I don't recall if a formal accusation is ever made though.

Phoenix does also worry that if Maya keeps protecting Godot, then she'll be the only one left to accuse.

"What are you going to do, hit me?" says man bludgeoned to death.

That's Turnabout Legacy down, the conclusion of which is one of the most effective tearjerkers in the series, IMO. With that case's plot being all about Edgeworth correcting an almost twenty-year-old miscarriage of justice and Investigation 2's larger plot being all about a corrupt legal oversight committee trying to bury the truth for their own ends and manipulating the meaning of the law to do so, this game does a much better job of handling the "dark age of the law" concept than Dual Destinies did two years later.

Still a little weird that almost everything in the original trilogy can be traced back to a dessert and confectionary contest, tho'.
