oh youve met brushel
Viscerally uncomfortable to look at him
hes also the most DISGUSTING person to ever exist
I beat Game 1, remember?
Correct
i dont remember when each person shows up! its been like a year since i did that case
Once I'm done with the series I will be reading every fanfic there is where Thalassa unites with her kids
Everything...
I need it like Magnifi needed that IV drip

oh yeah i did that case 2 years ago, goddamn
Oh shit I forgot there are costumes in this trilogy
I should try them out XD
lol
they're in the second and third game, and in the great ace attournet adventures, as they thought about designing them by that point
@plain gorge The new audio themes in AJ grew on me while playing, but Dual Destines' themes grew on me immediately
I like them better than the first AJ
the music in every game has always been top notch
but in truth, none of them beat the classic AA trilogy
I didn't like the themes in AJ at first. Too jarring. But I grew to like them
@plain gorge Detective Fullbright.....he's no Gumshoe
Yeah... i havent seen gumshoe in any game outside of the original trillogy and edgeworth investigations
It sucks
And like i said, that case frontloads you with a bunch of wild characters...
It DOES pay everything off in the end tho, trust me
I'm enjoying it. About to start the second round of investigations
Alright then
Also I think I'm going to like Fullbright. He tazed Blackquill
SPEAKING OF!
Blackquill is terrifying
Those two are who im talking about
An insane detective and a literal ARMED CONVICTED KILLER
The might of Fransiska and the chill of Edgeworth
Weirdly not the weirdest prosecutor ive met lol
In an AA game i mean
Ah
We already had one. He's called Von Karma. Except he was convicted afterwards 
And Godot actually
Not the ones im talking about actually
I mean we already had prosecutors that were convicted killers....just, after the fact
XD
Godot and Von Karma were certainly found guilty, but one is far more sympathetic
Yeah
Very
@plain gorge Case 2 complete
Jinxie is still so fubbing cute
Was not expecting that secret identity twist...
the story was pretty good for it, i just really disliked the... flamboyant personalities involved
Add Jinxie to my list of adopted daughters. Pearl, Iris, Trucy, Vera, and now Jinxie
lol

there are a lot of people you just wanna give a hug to in AA games
time does indeed pass! i dont recall if you meet pearl or maya in this game, but you do see them in the next at least
and yes both are still awesome
Wtf was that opening to Case 3...
wtf indeed
Why does it always have to be kids man...
presumably because the target audience is kids/young adults lol
I am always unnerved when the involved parties are under 20 years of age...
btw no mention of emma skye?
Wait is the victim a teacher? That softens the blow slightly...

Professor Aristotle Means....haaaaaate his smile
.....JUNIPER!? So these are the false charges....
Right, forgot Juniper. Sweetheart
its a pretty good case
@plain gorge KLAVIER!?!?!
Okaaaay, wasn't expecting him back, at least so soon
They just wanted a recognizable face to go against Apollo in some way
How ironic he's the prosecutor for a FAKE trial with FAKE evidence 
I think a few other familiar faces show up for one case too
No gumshoe tho
I unfortunately know who returns in Case 4. It's in the episode thumbnail. I also unfortunately know who returns in SoJ
Heheheheeheheh
unless im just mixing up cases again and case 4 is the final one, in which case i do know and i very much enjoy seeing that person in context
......Robin Newman is a girl!?!? Not on my bingo card.....
What the fu.....
Case 3
sorry i mean can you remind me what the case is about?
Juniper Woods' false arrest
yes!
What the fuck is going on
This is Jean from the professor layton crossover all over again
Hid as a boy to live up to expectations

completely unrelated
She's honestly adorable kinda
If she isn't the killer, add her to the list of adopted daughters XD
lol
Better than her parents at least
First case of the game to not show the true culprit at the beginning, but context told me who did it before even the characters found the body

Day 1 of the Trial complete, time to investigate
you figured out the killer?
It can't be any of the three students, and there's only 2 other suspects. I think I've nailed one of them.
go on then
Only time will tell
who do you think it is?
Professor Aristotle Means
well i wouldnt rule anything out just yet
True
You know what...accidental death framed as murder to get someone convicted. That sounds exactly like Professor Means' way of thinking
in my experience, you can completely overturn your theories in a case in the second day of investigations, or even the second day of trial
have fun!
and feel free to voice your opinions on chars and events AS they're happening
its fun to see your thoughts mid-case, your opinions on various voicelines and such
I hate Means
His design is creepy and that fucking gum opening smile
Fuck that
Like a Predator
i love means, its his brothers, motive and opportunity that suck (he doesnt have brothers i just wanted to make the joke)
i love his design for that exact reason lol
no the name "means" is part of the three main things detectives in fiction look for, means, motive and opportunity
i was just using it as a joke
Fuck this...Means is stealing Junie as a client. He's going to use false evidence to convict another in her place...
Oh...good one
Good Athena. Keep this creep from becoming part of the problem
Side note: I really need to find a way to watch the anime
@plain gorge Gonna start Day 2 of the Trial in a bit. I don't believe Hugh is the killer. At worst he's the one to move the body, at best, the blood on his hands that night wass paint.
Wait a minute.....
No....
No....
I might have something but god i hope it's wrong
I'm stressed
Yeah, no. I still pin Prof Means.
I have a feeling the ripped page has more to say...
Hugh is 25....
@plain gorge Trual's about over. Prof Means has been called as a witness after Hugh's false confession
Safe to say I'm right
Its ok i mute my phone after midnight
I just cant sleep
I kinda have to
Anyways, I knew from the start, even with doubt, it was Means
Aren't you a mod? That would explain things
Yeah
Oh god he's even creepier now! Evil, evil little man...
Took a break but I'm back to it. Time to unravel the final testimony!!
I LOVE The Final Testimony theme. It's so good...
Case 3 complete! What a rush that was...
Its a great final scene and case, aye
Pearl, Trucy, Vera, Junie, Robin, Jinxie. All ma daughters lol
Lol
Traumatized Athena in Case 3 made me sad
:(
im trying to remember what case 4 is about
you had bomber, perfume guy, school... i remmeber the last case
theres a funny bonus case too that i never did because i forgor
is there only 4 regular cases?
Oh, there are 6 total. And I was wrong about someone appearing in Case 4. I must be thinking of SoJ
ah
Wait shit! No I was right the first time! They're on the thumbnail for Case 5
aaah then we are talking about the same person lol
case 5 is a fucking doozy tho, goddamn
HOLY SHIT I SEE PEARLS IN THE SPECIAL CASE AAAAHHHHHHH
.....what...is going on? Doesn't Apollo injure his eye in the bombing? But...that bombing happens during this trial...
So why is he injired...
Oh, wait...so something happened to him
So his eye injury wasnt the bombing. Got it.
oooh right this was the trial FOR the bomb
Yeah. I'm expecting this trial to end suddenly and we'll pick up after the court room bombing trial
Junie is as cute as ever still
Holy shit I just remembered...Detective Candice is dead at this point. Her lifeless corpse is in the box just feet away from Fullbright
Fuck....
The thought makes me shudder actually
Yeah...
This is probably the grimmest case in the franchise
And the next case has the single most unsettling scene in all of AA
fear
:3
@plain gorge I was not expecting to like Detective Fullbright THIS much
He's honestly competing with Gumshoe in my eyes
..........Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh snap
Aura...Blackquill..............
Whathefu...
@plain gorge WTF WAS THAT ENDING?!?!?! CASE 4 IS ALREADY OVER!?
Athena's fingerprints on the lighter...
Wtfwtfwtf
its such a ride (affectionate)
Right? Hes so helpfull!
Yep!
She is!
She's all grown up...
I actually forgor pearls shows up in this game
@plain gorge
"Something's wrong with Mom, so I'm taking her apart to fix her!"
What the fuck Capcom.....
🎉
Like i said, the single most unsettling scene in any AA game
She stabbed her mother's killer...in the back of the hand....
NO FUCKING WAY IT'S HIM
IT'S HIM.....WTF
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
JUST SAY IT ALREADY GAME! SHOW ME THE FACE OF THE DEVIL!
I KNOW ITS HIM!
taking a break as Apollo arrives...ugh
Back to it.....
Good luck
Wait.............what
No this.....
It cant be him....
No....this has got to be a mistake....it all lines up perfectly to be......
I honestly didnt see it coming
This game is a psychological torture machine...
But the damaged hand!!!
KRISTOPH FUCKING GAVIN'S SCARRED HAND
I refuse to believe it isn't him until the end
YES!?!?!?
It all made sense though!!!
Is gavin even in that case?
No....but....but....
He hasn't been in the game at all either
But....it all lines up to be him!
A psychopath with zero fear, joy, or sadness. A murderer...with black psyche locks that were never broken
Isnt he in jail?
The scarred hand
Jailbreaks are a thing
Idfk I was so convinced it was him......
Pretty sure you would have heard mention of him earlier if he was gonna come back
Besides the death penalty is a thing in the AA universe
You See where I was coming from though, right?
You usually meet the killer long before you accuse them
Tell me you at least see my thought process...

The profile for the phantom is: Emotionless husk that only does what benefits themself. They are a psychopath.
Kristoph killed Zak solely because he was dropped as his attorney. A psychopath with black locks that were never opened. Had no problem killing Zak just to end Phoenix's existence
A damaged and scarred hand where the knife pierced through him
Sure, is you assume that his hand is scarred and its not a birthmark or something, that he had means motive or oppertunity
Those are circumstancial at best
Also hes been in jail for most of the events of this case

I was so fucking confident.....
I'm no better than Phoenix lol
Man that sucks on so many levels...my favorite Apollo character, reduced to this...
About to question him so....wish my sanity some luck
Its honestly a challenge, i got stuck a few times
I reacted this way when they proved that the killer had his hand stabbed. So I was far from the point where Fullbright was accused. The way you reacted...made me even more confident
Well i thought you were at that point
Wait...he's an investigator!?!? Nothing makes sense anymore...
WHO THE FUCK IS THE KILLER
Wait...no, it's...just a trick?
Brain...hurt.....
Okay, okay. He really is...
Final stretch, mood matrix time
I think its probably the best final case? Hard to say exactly
But i genuinely didnt expect the twist, and it was incredibly well done
@plain gorge AJ: DD is my new favorite of the series
And I still have the Special case to do before SoJ
@plain gorge About to continue Special Case. Maybe do the whole thing tonight and start SoJ tomorrow
I still need to finish watching the playthrough too...
@plain gorge Special Case complete! Actually shed a tear at the end over the sheer loyalty Sasha showed to Rimes, even after everything.
Beautiful case
I havent actually played that case
When i did my run, the game just sent me to the title screen, and no prior game had bonus cases, so i just miced to SoJ (which has its own bonus case i never did)
Oh, well. You defend an orca. And then the orca's trainer.
The ending is really sweet. No murder, just a tragic accident that was covered up by anger and grief.
@plain gorge Okay so...I'm watching a playthrough of the game. She has about...12ish hours worth of livestreams to finish Case 5 and 6. I want to wait to start SoJ after i finish those vods...but it kills me
It'll take so long...unless I binge
@plain gorge I have bought the GAA Chronicles and the Investigations Collection

Theyre grrrreat, tho i havent played investigations 2 yet
After SoJ, I play GAA and then Investigations
Thats what i did
oh thats right! mega you did finish TGAAC, yes?
theres a fanart ive been itching to share, one sec
wait actually, i can also share ||bebé iris and herlock|| since you got the reveal ||he raised her from baby||, actually more fanart incoming
and actually also also for our new addition! i can share a million athenas, gods i love athena https://www.tumblr.com/xabarik/778328673538506752
Ye
https://www.tumblr.com/phonopsyche/693596366197358592 (i got stuck in my tumblr archive tag, theres so much good stuff (biased). i should make it a point to share fanart more often)
okay okay, @plain gorge this is actually the one i wanted to share for so long
(its a video) https://clownowo.tumblr.com/post/772249528642486272 ||https://va.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_spuo7ibldW1zuqvol_720.mp4||
"i love how tgaa re-contextualizes the technology in previous ace attorney games" is such a funny way to put it
Oh thats beautiful
the site was full of UR-1 fanart on oct 7 2020, it was delightful
ending this with some TGAAC shenanigans, spoilered ofc given its all tgaa2 stuff https://neria-rt.tumblr.com/post/723842800601497601
okay its out of my system for now
ace attorney the series that you are
oh its soundless 7 sec clip
just fyi
aw
i guess thats fair
The other herlock bits were fine because they were plausible for the era, but that... was just silly
Especially when they could have done a more plausible way
i remember that the part i disliked about the tgaa2 finale was the ||reveal of gregson being reaper. i was so sure it was a false accusation, but. no apparently. and thats dumb and stupid.||
i recall there being a fancomic that explores that alternate angle, hold on
Eeeeehhhh it kinda makes sense
And is similar to the plotline in investigations
Actually felt like tgaac was a bit if a rehash on other games
Thats not a complaint mind, i did enjoy the games
Eh
Im not sure i fully agree with this logic
Not that it matters
Simon best big brother
@plain gorge This girl I'm watching play through Case 5, and she REEEEEALLY didn't like Apollo's reasons for distrusting Athena.
Like her mood toward him in that moment soured almost completely
But like...Apollo was kinda justified.
He's known her for less than a year, had his own mentor be a psychopath, and was somewhat betrayed by Phoenix when he wouldn't come clean to Apollo in the first game.
The man has deep seated trust issues stemmed from trauma, and he is a new lawyer
I did think it was a bit of a stretch myself
He's going to be critical of these things
He knew Kristoph longer than Athena, and didn't see through him. With doubt weighing him down, it was only natural he'd not blindly trust Athena despite wanting to.
Trauma, pain, and conscience
All played a role there
Wright became a lawyer 9-10 years ago. He has learned that he can trust his clients, and now his friends.
Apollo hasn't, due to Kristoph and in a way, Phoenix
@plain gorge Well...SoJ is...interesting.
HE'S ONLY 9 YEARS OLD!?!?
Can I punch Payne....please
Heh
Thats the accused boy, right?
Can I punch Her Benevolence too
If you can send screenshots it would be easier to remember whats going on
Its been a year since i played
Ahlbi Ur'gaid, a 9 year old boy, is accused of larceny and murder. He is found guilty almost immediately due to something called the Divination Seance, performed by Her Benevolence, Princess Rayha. Gaspen Payne is apparently Chief Prosecutor in this land.
The Princess wants Nick's head on a stick
Yes
I like the divination seance as this games gimmic, its more plausible than athenas... weird bullshit thing
You already know that spirits exists
Maya and pearl summon the dead often
I liked the Mood Matrix...
I found it clunky and unclear
Those sections i usually needed a guide
Plus its literal holograms and practically mind reading via technology
All in a device smaller than my phone
Ugh, I need Ace Attorney 7. I need Phoenix to be dating Iris and have Apollo and Trucy meet their mother. It's not fair man...
I need it
id say fanfiction, but good luck finding phoiris fics 
Lol
I do agree, id love to see iris again
But she was jailed for accomplice to murder
Courts can be lenient in these things you know...
Tis but a dream...
Anyways, this Kingdom is DARK
How many innocent people were put to death or jailed over the single act of seeing a POV?!?!
The music...hmmm...I like it, but...
Hmmm....
It'll have to grow on me I guess
Good, not great yet. Maybe that will change soon.
I want to punch Gaspen so fucking hard...
Lol
So Her Benevolence acts all high and mighty...but is still just a high school brat

How the hell do i say that
Nick is going to have a heart attack when he learns Trucy was arrested
Was NOT expecting that turn around from Bonnie...and she has a 35 year old swooning after her 
Lol yeah
I member that case
Its p wild
Also i didnt realise you were on mobile, but thank you for the photos, it really helps put my mind in that case and scene
MURDER HIM
Playing it on Switch, screenshoting with phone
I want to villtrumite punch this dude
I remember that asshole
I dont remember if hes just an asshole or the killer tho
Oh I am seething with rage
Hes very punchable i agree
Trial starts now. I need to see him fall flat on his face and break every bone on the way down.
I dont remeber if he does
I think i remember the end of the case being satisfying, with some decent twists tho
Bonny, and this fuck...my two enemies. 1 of them is the killer...
My money is on Bonnie, with him being an accomplice.
Interesting theory!
Haven't been on the game since last night. The trial has uet to begin..
And 1 becomes 2!
Bonny and Betty!
@plain gorge Case 2 complete! Loved the twists, and he got what he deserved! Jail!
It was him, not Bonnie- er, rather, Betty
Someone told me they call him Robert Downey Jr, and now I can't unsee it.
...i dont know when the game was made but yeah he really has the pre-iron man tony stark vibe
dunno if that was the inspiration, its not like asshole rich guy is oringinal
Something else of note...this whole kingdom hates lawyers, and I assume that stigma would be passed through the religion itself. So...Mia really stood against her faith to become a lawyer.
nah the fay clan split into japanifornia generations ago
you find out more about the lawyer thing in a case or two, theres a reason for it
I guess, but you'd think the influence would have reached the village
I already know a lot about the end, but nothing leading up to it. I
ie I know the final villain etc etc
it will be all explained later dw, ts not a plot hole
or a huge rejection of faith for mia lol
well i suppose it was, she gave up clan leadership to be a lawyer, but she had a goal in mind
and did a great job with figuring it out
till she died
I wish I hadnt been spoiled on the ending, but I saw it long before I even played the first trilogy
but that didnt stop her lol
Yea
yeah i accidentally got spoiled for something on the ace attourney chronicals too
it was a big spoiler too
spoiler: ||the game ends at some point||
Hah
I have seen very little from chronicles and investigations. I hope yo keep it that way until I get to them.
investigations is a weirder game
still good but it was made by the "b" team and it shows in places
Ah
or at least the first one is, i havent played the second yet
it wasnt translated to english untill the bundle was released
let me know when you get to it, id love to play the game along with you
i think its the last AA game i ahvent played? i think theres a layton crossover i havent tried, need to look into that at some point

Incredible
Anyways I've started Case 3's Trial
@plain gorge I'm...softlocked???
I'm halfway through Case 3. Maya was found guilty. Now investigations for the 2nd murder are underway. I used story mode at one point, and it takes me to the detention center, but Maya isn't there. Story mode sends me in a forever loop of trying to head to the detention center while I'm already there.
I don't know where to go from here...
I'm scared to save. Guess I could do another slot
So bizarre...
THEY DID NOT JUST DROP THAT
Apollo and Sahdmadhi are brothers!?
Huh, this didnt ping me at all
Sounds like you figured it out?
Yeah apollo's backstory is different in each game
In part because he barely had one in apollo justice
I'm in trial 2. As much as it pains me...I think the wife did it. I think she killed her husband.
Side note: I am morbidly curious if there is a fanfiction that goes into the "what if" of Phoenix actually being put to death for his DC Act conviction in this case.
Maya and Phoenix having their bodies and heads shipped back to Jaliforpania (heh) and mourned by everyone we've met.
Wait..........
Trial 2 of Case 3...yeah..."fun" 
I think my suspicions are wrong...and I'm glad for that. But...there's still a potential to be right...
I think i remember who dunnit
Its a good case
.....seeing Maya transform.into Tahrust...is kinda disturbing
He ripped her shirt and kimono off...when he gets severed from her...oh dear.
@plain gorge .............I have no words. That was my favorite case of the series. Hands down. That was sad, man....and beautiful.
So far
Oh god
I recall the other cases being very enjoyable
And sad
With lots of genuinely unexpected twists
Oh god no...next case has....the clown
The infamous clown lady
But Simon returns! Woo!
I remember enjoying that case
@plain gorge Looked up a Thalassa and her kids fanfic. I need more, man...
There were more fanfics with Phoenix being a jerk to Lamiroir for abandoning her kids. I didn't like those...
@plain gorge Case 4 complete! Was expecting that to be much longer...after Case 3. But this was solid. Sad at the end. Poor girl...
Well...Case 5...gulp
I'll hold off for a sec
WHAAAAAAAAAAAT!?!?!?!? Apollo....VS PHOENIX!?!?!?!?
@plain gorge Armie Buff is so cute. Add her to the adoption list!!
I dont remember who that is
Ooooh youre on THIS case
I'm past it now. Dhurke's been arrested for Inga's murder and I just started investigating the tomb
But yeah, add her to my adoption list

Yeah shes great
That's enough for tonight
I'll bet
And... a little underwhelming
I already know the Queen is the true culprit. Thank you spoilers
Duh
The how and why is awesome
Side note: I've had costumes on this whole time. I might switch to canon clothes for the Trial to immerse myself further. But that's for tomorrow...
Tbh the only costume i used was the pink shirt in the prior game
Well that and the classic suit
@plain gorge Big Trial has started. Rayfa's distressed breathing was ghastly
That actually hurt
Amara is Nayna, and Inga's killer....I dont want to believe it.
But Amara is definitely not acting right. She loves Dhurke. She ran away with him. Yet she claims he further attempted to take her life. Garan what did you do to her!?
Guess you will find out!
Stayed up all night, but I did it. Game...complete.
.............Case 3 is still my favorite of the series though 
That was very solid from start to finish
Oh? I personally really enjoyed the last one
I called Rayfa being Nahyuta's sister
I did too. It's my 2nd favorite. Case 3 just, hit different. With emotion.
What happened in 3 again?
Maya was accused
Oooh right
Tahrust killed himself after his disciple died accidentally to his wife
Solid fucking twists in this one, I'll give them that
Oh yes
I need AA 7 like I need oxygen
Lots of stuff that i genuinely didn't expect
Tho i really fucking hate that apollo's and trucy's mum is right there at the end, and THERES STILL NO CLOSURE

Ergo this comment
AA 7: Thalassa is kidnapped by a cult that worships Jove and her, and Apollo and Trucy must save her. Along the way, they find out the truth.

I would take anything
Oh, I just got to the end credits scene with Her and Phoenix
Yeaaahhh...
AA 7
Gods I need it
Well...next up is the DLC case, and then I move onto...The Great Ace Attorney? Or Investigations...
Either
I still need to do that case
Larry being a creep/dumbass right off the bat...yep he's back
The defendant is also amazing. She is so...much. And it's glorious.
I played like 5 mins of the case so i know exactly what you mean
Larry just gets continually creepier as the series goes on
I'm convinced he's murdering his girlfriends.
its unfortunate, because larry of first two games is, honestly not a too bad character. there is some nuance to him. it starts slipping in tt and goes downhill from there
:(
Overplaying the doofus angle too much
Pheonix goes through years of hell as an unplanned single parent and having his lawyer licence revoked, larry is chasing tail...
@plain gorge Okay so, Ellen believes she time traveled. But, I think it's all a clever set up.
She says she was attacked at the end of her reception, and wished on the time machine. Next thing she knows she wakes up on her wedding day.
I think the family or other just reenacted the wedding again to make her none the wiser, and her attack happened the day prior. Her attacker was attacked, but the autopsy says he died that day of the "do over". There are dry ice fog machines. The body could have been put on ice.
I think I've nailed this before I've even met Ellen's fiance.
What part of "i havent played this case" didn't you understand
I know you haven't. That's why I tried explaining it as I said it
Sorry, thought that was clearer

You should have at least spoilered it
Can say anything you like under a spoiler, ill play the case when i get back
Probably on monday
Sorry...
Mischievous Minx
Special Case complete, bringing an end to the AJ Trilogy!
That...was really good. I'm torn between this one and Case 3 as my favorite
AJ Trilogy. So many twists and turns. It's just as much a ride as the original trilogy was.
I can't believe I only started this series less than two years ago.
Hmmm.....TGA is...strange. I know damn well I won't remember names lol
Apollo Justice remains my favorite game in the franchise to be honest
i love the AJ trilogy as a whole too
@plain gorge TGAA Episode 1 is loooooong!
Jeez man it's still going! This conniving little bit-
Tgaa is a much longer game
lol
@plain gorge Oh come on! Ryunosuke is being charged again, AND for Kazuma's death!?
This shit rigged mate!
on the one hand, its an INCREDIBLE mechanic
on the other, sholmes is a FUCKING MORON
Indeed

He is an idiot sevant
He reads people's stature and stance well
Just not what they truly mean.
@plain gorge Holy shit...Episode 2 was really something
No trial either...
Strange turn of events
case 2 is more an introduction to herlock and his mechanic
dunno why they did that tho herlock isnt mentioned ever again and you never do any of that dramatic investigation thing
Wait he never appears again in Game 1?!
Whaaaaat...
I know he appears in Game 2 but still...
oh no hes cut out of the game entierly
I was actually looking forward to his deductions...
the conan doyle estate personally invade the game and slap yo with a cease and desist, its case 3
I dont understand, but I will later I guess

SHIT! I forgot to get Episode 2's Accolade!
Dagumit!!
Well...I think I've been spoiled on this Case. I already know the culprit...
https://kurgy.tumblr.com/post/661910765799964672 herlock
a guy of all time
Case 3 complete! That ending cutscene though...spine chilling
oh yep
@plain gorge You know...Barok Von Zieks is just a more theatrical Edgeworth
I have to do some stuff today and next week and will do some exams. But today I was just feeling like "You need Trucy Wright today" so here you go. Not much of an effort but I hope you still enjoy it :)
Join me on Discord:
LIAR! 
Case 4

Lol
Mr and Mrs Beate...they are a sickly cute couple
Their animations are adorable
@plain gorge Case 4 complete! Loved it!
Now, do I start Case 5 tonight or later...hmm...
Which was case 4 again?
Mr Natsume and the fat lady victim
Yeah... until you realise he was slacking on his duty
Yeah, but I mean, can you blame him?
Yes
The one single night he wants to do something for himself and his wife...
I get it
But if an assault happens right in front of you...
And you move the body so it becomes someone elses problem...
Emotions are a fickle thing...not saying he was right, just that he was understanble in his actions.
Its an incredibly self-centred reason
The lady was in a critical condition! Him moving her might have killed her
He thought she was dead already
Well she might have been
Look, I'm not justifying his actions, I'm showing his thoughts process.
She's not dead by the end of the case so...yeah.
Yeah but still
As it should be, for the finale of the game
I'll begin again later today.

Phoenix Wright faces his trickiest case yet!
Ace Attorney be...
Sholmes is smarter than you realize...
Thats one if my issues with the guy, hes so inconsistent
In other news. all of that escalated so quickly
Sholmes shot, Windibag dead, Susato being mysterious with the manuscript and is being summoned to the Lord Justice alone, Sholmes too is mysterious with the mauscript, Gina's arrested...
All of that within an hour of gameplay
On top of all of that, this case is related to McGilded
Wild
It will get more mysterious
Oh i should mention that the second game has nothing to do with the first. If you have questions at the end, thats a you problem.

............
I wish continuity was in Capcom's vocabulary
The second game is arguably better than the first tho, so you should still play it
Well no duh I'm gonna play it
@plain gorge Case 5 complete! What a trial...and those ending revelations with the second music disk.....CHILLS
I cannot WAIT for the 2nd game
I might clear up some accolades first though
Right?
liar
XD
Yeah game 1 leaves SO many questions unanswered, 2 very tightly wraps them all up
@plain gorge Case 1 complete. Natsume was in another case?? And Case 3 from Game 1 is more relevant now?? What the fu.....
Why do they keep saying there were 2 cases with Natsume???
Was it one of the Escapades?
Wait, will it be a flashback case?
Yes it is btw
Sholmes just had his Logic and Reasoning
Natsume is a famous Japanese writer btw, tho ive got no idea what he wrote
I've heard
That music disk still bothers me...
It's going to continue to bother me until it's resolved
And I know the "final boss" of this game, so....this gonna be good.
I actually dont think that got resolved?
Well, it does kinda, you find out what it means eventually, but i dont recall you seeing it again or the copy sholmes made
All you need to know is the list of 4 names really.
I want to know the meaning of those 4 names being on that disk
True
I might have just missed it tbf
This playthrough I watch alongside playing, the girl simps for Sherlock
She died at this scene
Woops, didn't even realize my mistake LOL

i found herlocks name weirdly hard to remember when i was typing my thoughts on the game, i often only called him sholmes and only when his name was on screen lol
kurain spirit channeling caught on camera (real)
Is that rt game?
oh edgy boy needs a red suit lol
oof
as much as I loved Tomodachi Life, I refuse to get Living the Dream for a number of legitimate and illegitimate reasons
That being said...I now want to make Phoenix and Iris in Tomodachi Life and get them together

my maya is married to phoenix (not featured in this clip)
and all three of them live together at Law Offices of Wright & Co.
@plain gorge Case 2 complete......the Hound's Collar.....
Oh Case 3 is getting JUICY!!
||Kazuma is presumably alive!?||
||And Zieks' amnesiac assisstant!?||
Oh this just went from bad to worse...
Yes!
Spoilers, yes!
Its VERY juicy yeah
Done
Not in a million years would I have expected that...
Trial resumes now
No lol
You saying its was kazuma could be a mistake or red herring
Me confirming it is a spoiler
But it obviously isnt a red herring so it was a joke
Ah! Lol
LOL
It's Iris'
@plain gorge Oh my god that ending was so damn good....SCREW CASE 3 OF AJ SoJ, THIS is my new favorite case of the series!!!
Of this game or of SoJ?
both lol
This one is about the scientist being accused of murder, only to have a mass murderer's case be brought up to light. Kazuma's father was that mass murderer.
Soj: priest and his wife are rebels against the crown. Their apprentice is a rebel hunter that dies accidentally when he discovers the wife. The husband commits suicide to pin both deaths on Maya to save his wife because lawyers were mistrusted to get the right verdict
Kazuma's father...a mass murderer
I am so scared
:)
I have not been this hyped since Trials and Tribulations' final case
That was nearly 2 years ago
im really glad i finished the duology, tho herlock sholmes really turns me off from it at times
i played the first three AA games on DS, i genuinely didntknow they made more till fairly recently
fairly recently being like 6 eyars ago lol, i think bringi introduced me to more of them and i plaed some while i was homeless
Thats bloody cute
Aww
AWWWW
@plain gorge Ooo Case 4 has the Red Headed Lodge! It's one of the only stories I actually know something about from Sherlock Holmes
@plain gorge GREGSON IS DEAD!?!?!?
Oh my god poor Gina....my heart hurts seeing her cry
BAROK VAN ZIEKS is the suspect!?
@plain gorge Maria Gorey, daughter od Doctor Courtney Sithe...what a strange little woman, yet eerily charming and pleasant
So I can safely assume at this point, Stronghart is the real Professor
He has to be
Sholmes.....has a lot to explain
So does Iris...
yeah theres a story there to be sure
This isn't going to end pleasantly...
things end... well they wrap pretty much everything neatly
i cant really recall any real loose ends
Good, good. AJ could have learned from this example

i think a big issue with the mainline games is the huge gap between each game, TGAAC was seemingly much more tighly knit together with a clear plan from start to end
bringi is the expert in AA games, they would know more if thats the case, its just the impression i get
Yeah, I heard it was developed as one massive game, and split into two during development.
that i didnt know
So this collection, Chronicles, is the ideal way to play it
Yep. It was suppose to be a 10 chapter game
cool
@plain gorge Words not working for brain!
Iris and Susato.......Mikotoba.......
Klint Van Zieks.......
So many questions.....
@plain gorge So much shit was just revealed
But what I want to say is...Iris choosing "Runo" and "Susie" as her big siblings was TOO CUTE
Where are you at in the story? Because yes, this case is awesome
I'm just about to start (presunably) the final day of the Trial. Day 3.
Episode 5
4 and 5 are the same trial
I reiterate, Iris wanting both of them as her siblings is fecking cute
But her father is still a mystery......
Only a few people it could be, now that Wilson is off the table
And I reiterate that Stronghart is almost definitely the real killer behind the Professor case
See, this tells me it isn't Sholmes.
Hmmm.....
You thought sholmes?
I want to say Genshin, but that feels like a cop out and not fair to Iris
As Iris' father, I mean
Interesting!
Could be Gregson maybe...
Yes i got that
No sholmes is not the father, he very likely would have told her if that was the case
Yeah. But you cant rule anything out when Lamiroir exists in my mind
XD
Lol
She barely interacts with the cast outside of the 4th game tho
Sholms wasnt irisis father but he was her daddy
LOL
Yep
He loves mentioning that he raised her, and it is adorable
Fuck I need like, 10 more chapters of this game man...
After this, I move onto Investigations
I need to do investigations 2
I have heard very little except for one technical spoiler
I heard it was the better game of the two
investigations 2 it honestly might have even tighter plotting than the tgaa duology. everything is just so pleasantly connected together. and ☝️ it broke the curse of third case syndrome. the third case is arguably the best one in the game, even
though i dread to replay it just a touch, given all the names are different now
that'll be a whiplash
it is truly quite a gem
Yeah official translation for the first time
@plain gorge Judge Jigoku.....this mother
er knew from the start who Jezaille Brett was, and STILL preceded over Ryunosuke's murder trial!!!
Basta!!
i just call him judge japan
and the english judge, judge santa
lol
But I'm right, right? He knew...even if he didn't know Jezaille was Shinn, the victim would have set him off
evidence certinatly leads you to think that way, for sure
im a do some investigating
ill be posting screenshots but they wil be spoilered so you can ignore them
oooh animation
the first investigations game was set during or just afte rthe original triology, no idea when this ine is set
or made
i like this guy hioe nithign happens to him
ohno how expected
same energy

gumshoe is a clever man
i mean, where does a kid come across helium easily, unless there's like, a fair
actually a fair point
i really love the fact they sprinkle in these fan service lines lol, we're even at gourd lake
they dont actually feel forced either, lotta hart being an editor of a newspaper is just a promotion for her
ooof that one hurts
oooh we're getting new nechanics???
edgeworth really sees conversations as a game of chess 
no wonder he both hates and loves pheonix
pheonix doesnt play chess, he drives a truck onto the board, crashes into a tree, stumbles around for a bit, then kicks the king in the nadgers
ok this first bit is annoying, i have to place something on a map and its dumb
all i ahve is one line, so it really could be anywhere on that line
god i hate this guy
i feel like this case takes waaaaaay too long for how much there is to it
oh? i really love his design
yeah he's cool
you'll see, idk
i just got sick of looking at him and talking about him
it's been a year or two since i played though
so far im really struggling with it ngl
not because its hard but because i gotta put the exact right point on a line with no other indication on where on that line the thing happened
yeah
good game
can you just tell me what im missing here, if you remember?
please use spoiers for actual plot points
welcome to chess: the game. soooooo many chess things in this one. im sure some pieces are even blue with spiky hair
lol
looking up guide (bc i dont remember this clue), you have the testimony of ||two gunshots||. where would they be coming from?
i looked it up
i think you just trace the line into where the audience was standing
idr though
fair enuff
see my logic would be ||that corner next to the stairs on the right hand side but no they actually wanted you to guess "anywhere on the left hand side"||
fucking stupid
||as if the shot couldnt have come from anywhere on that line||
you need more than one point of data! come on!
||yeah thats what you;re supposed to do, but you can clearly see the line going over multiple places where people could stand||
that one made me actually mad
that wasnt a deduction, thats was guesswork
i think I remember being annoyed with it too
most of the game's puzzles are better than that, i think the game devs were just on a different wavelength here
like, ||nobody was standing in the aisle||, and it would be kind crazy if they were standing ||in the very front right, aiming at someone on the stage, and hit the balloon to that side instead||
but yeah it's not airtight
we dont know any of these things for certain tho
plus youre ignoring the fact ||that they could have been swimming||
very correct
like
you have to make multiple leaps of logic on faith
if anything, to me, ||that tiny corner is the MOST logical place game-wise, as putting the shooter "somewhere on the left" is vague, but "right at the front on this corner" is very specific||
...
the fuck
why is all of this still here? in public? ||what kind of assassin just dumps the murder weapon and murder plot in a public bin, right at the scene, meters away from where the shot was taken????||
||WHY IS THE GUN THE SECOND THING YOU NOTICE? YOU HAVE TO SQUEEZE PAST IT TO GET THE NOTE WTF||
||ill say, you cant find trash cans anywhere these days||
...no.
||thats a laser? wow thats a bulky laser, they were only that bulky for like 5 years, and basically jsut movie props||
||a little bit unbelievable but sure fine whatever
on par with having the autopsy report while the body is still in front of me||
kay?
aight i guess
oh last game was two weeks ago? damn things move fast
captain square head on the left i just really like the look of lol
ok thats just funny
i agree edgy but still this photo has vital evidence
lol
i think shes cuter than trucy but trucy gets more time to shine and is a deeper charater
the first time i played the apollo games i really thought trucy was secretly pearl
for like, a little bit
what the fuck?
huh, thats a bit of a leap ngl
but i can see it, as she doesnt exactly ahve parents
yaknow what, here comes kay fanart https://www.tumblr.com/ferretleaf/761532452441325568/kay-shenanigans

||oh look it looks like this raincoat was worn inside-out
and we know someone who likes to flip their coats inside out
and happened to be recording the conversation of the two people in front of her
clearly one was winston payn
clearly winston payne was standing directly infront of the shooter as you can see in one of the photos, his distinctive bald head and the laser pointer on his back||
probably unrelated
you're fucking with me
i love what this game does with cameos, great stuff
also i really wish past me did a better job in tagging for when im looking for specific fanarts. truly, i couldve at least employed a per-game tag or something.... alas too late for that now
it do be that way
my art folder is my downloads folder
on both mobile and pc
each have different downloads
||...did he just mop up the blood of his wound that bled through clothes, bandages and sling? perfectly? with the same napkin that hes currently using to eat icecream?||
aw, deactivated blog. art by verdandyy
lol

yeah, can't you tell? he holds ice cream and everything
i recon they're both morons lol
||oh of course edgeworth doesnt recognize shelly de killer, they never actually met face to face, the best he has was a side-on photograph
pheonix could probably spot him a mille off||
wow ||the professional killer is somehow a red herring||
i mean i knew that, but it genuinely is a suprise still
he did it, hes the killer
fucking loon
huh
thats a genuine surprise, ||the bodyguard died?||
test
weird my message got eaten
hey that was nice... YO WTF DID YOU SAY ABOUT MY EDGEWORTH
WHAT
SINCE WHEN
I LITERALLY COULD NEVER HAVE PREDICTED THIS
||edgeworth, you prevented a great crisis in my land and i, its president, am honoured to meet you!
FOOLISH PROSECUTOR OUR POLICE FORCE ARE THE FINEST IN THE WORLD||
mixed messages much?
there, he wore it today
WHY DOES HE HAVE LACE STOCKINGS
came with the outfit 

honestly i dont remmeber if i expected that or not, but it was a great reveal
Jigoku killed Genshin, by Stronghart's order
Damn...
Wild af case, huh?
I'm waiting for the shoe to drop. I know there is a scene coming up with Sholmes, but I cant for the life of me predict how it is going to come about
Its... extraordinary
I know what happens, just not what prompts it. ie, what exactly makes Ryunsuke pull the rabbit's ears
its very subtle, be on your constant guard for it
very easy to miss
Ah here it is
Here comes...the dance
this is some of the best sholmes stuff in the game
NO FUCKING SHOT IRIS IS THE QUEEN'S DAUGHTER!!!???
i started investigations today, flame has been playing chronicals for the last week or two
i just want Of the Devil Ch 3 
that's my current detective game fix, while waiting for capcom to figure out what to do with AA
Of the Devil is so fucking good if you enjoy any of
- Ace Attorney
- Danganronpa
- Death Note? Dexter?

- va-11 hall-a and other cyberpunk vn stuff
well im sold
being a lawyer is like chess poker
I, freaking, called it
yes lol
Wait, shit...
He's not the father
Just a friend of Iris' father
Fuck
oh i thought you said he wasnt the father
Correct. What I said was "It could be Genshin"
But iris and kazuma have zero interaction
It would be a shoehorn
But for the father to be a friend of Genshin, and Mikotoba knowing her by proxy...
im liking what yuou're thinking
but i refuse to confirm things, as it does get expressly told to you later
Klint Van Zieks is Iris' father
the fuck are you on about
That's where my mind is going bruh
You're telling me Susato is the child then?!
im not saying shit lol
REEEEEEEE
one of your ideas could be spot on
or they could all be wildly off base
Well it was just stated clear as day
Klint Van Zieks' daughter is Iris
he's so ridiculous
