In fact, Gigi put my thoughts of it on paper pretty well here (again, case 3 day 1 spoilers, do not read): http://allmarios.tumblr.com/post/65068279108/ace-attorney-5-spoilers-i-got-mad-on-twitter-and CASE 3 SPOILERS: Oh thank god it gets better at some point. I was this close to shutting the game off permanently when I got to that part. Like loving nails on a chalkboard, that was. It really bothered the gently caress out of me because god drat that was just handled so badly. Ugh. Case 3 has been pretty good so far but that more or less shunted it to the bottom of the list. Nice going, Capcom. gently caress, what's wrong with me.  Chaltab posted:
MAJOR CASE 3 SPOILER: Well, okay, now that I think about it I can forgive the whole "Robin's a chick" thing. I admit the whole "swinging between hypermasculine and hyperfeminine" thing does actually happen IRL to a degree - obviously Robin having to hide her gender all the time would have been stressful on her, and she's gonna take the chance to go hyperfeminine while still being used to acting hypermasculine. She'll level out with time, but still...that stage is always insanely loving annoying. I do like that she doesn't look so anxious and worried anymore though.  Maybe I'm just hypersensitive to these things. Maybe.

Opposing Farce posted:Man everybody's talking about these giant case 3 spoilers. CASE 3 DAY 2 SPOILERS: Yeah, I think this is basically it. I'm kind of on the fence about it: on the one hand, the wild switching between hypermasculine and hyperfeminine is really annoying and seems like a caricature due to the way Ace Attorney characters are written, but that effect does happen in real life to an extent and her circumstances make it pretty understandable why that would happen. I'm not totally happy with it and I wouldn't say it's handled great, but they probably did the best they could - like, I mean, they did well considering they're Capcom. But as it stands right now, it's more like an affect or something. It comes off as very unnatural and almost offensive if taken the wrong way. It would have helped immensely if Robin had a bit more character development by the end of Day 1 or the beginning of Day 2, and started leveling out to a more natural state. That would show that she's come to terms with the whole gender oppression and expression thing and avoided the whole "minstrelsy" vibe it gives off. As it stands right now, it's more like an affect or something than natural, well-adjusted behavior. But then again, these things do take time, and it's understandable why she'd act that way, so I'm willing to forgive it. "Good potential, but needs improvement - C+"   The important bit is that she seems less stressed and anxious now, and that's really paramount. At least Capcom let her have that, at the very least. Opposing Farce posted:I'm also not sure whether to read her as a ciswoman whose parents insisted on raising her as a boy for what seems to be an utterly baffling non-reason like the game implies or as a transwoman, which would seem to a better fit for her backstory and actions. I know she has a line about being a girl in body and spirit or whatever, but I'm not convinced that should be taken at face value and even though the game probably intends the former interpretation authorial intent doesn't necessarily matter here. According to information on the internet it's the former, but I'm guessing she's meant to invoke both of them. The mechanics behind a cis girl being raised as a boy against her will and a trans girl being raised as a boy against her will are, well, pretty much identical. If it weren't for the whole brace thing (what the gently caress is that anyway), it could very well be ambiguous enough that Robin could possibly be either in equal likelihood. Also, am I the only person that thought the ending of the Case 3 trial was loving hilarious? Especially with proving the statue was the victim and Means writing on the board at the end.

I don't know why they felt the need for it, all of that character's animations are pretty great. except maybe the wagging finger? Her twirl is also under scrutiny... but I liked it. CASE 3: I don't like the twirling or the finger wagging. The latter would be better without the punctuation at the end. The hand-over-face thing, I don't really have any feelings either way. It just looks like a dumb teenager being a dumb teenager. The pink heel animation is funny as poo poo, don't you dare knock it

And I don't like the twirling just cause I prefer more subdued actions. The punctuation refers to when she ends her sentences like T−H−I−S! She does the action but not the punctuation thing sometimes, and it's fine then.

I just finished the game. All in all, that was pretty loving great. It's the best of the Ace Attorney games so far. Case 5 was...one hell of a rollercoaster. It's certainly better than 1, 3, and 4's last cases. Convoluted as gently caress, but it had some awesome moments and great thrills. Examples: Space  , Athena's PTSD  , Aura/Metis  (I'm a sucker for that kinda story, what can I say), Pearlyyyyyyy  , Edgewoooooorth , Poncooooooo , Fulbriiiiiiight  ,  MOTHERFUCKIN' BLACK PSYCHELOCKS , all the crazy bullshit twists and turns in the courtroom  , Apollo's speech at Athena's trial , Phantom's cornering and breakdown  .Also I totally called Fulbright being a bad guy back in like Case 4. He just seemed way too off to me, and by the time the Phantom became a major character it was too late to introduce someone - so I figured they'd have to surprise us with someone who hadn't gotten any development. And I was right! By the way, you know how Athena sometimes gets that thousand yard stare in the game? It's creepy enough already, but next time you come across it, take a look at Widget. I'd say... AA5 >= AA2 > AA3 > AA4 = AA1. AA2 gets dragged down by that goddamn circus case. I don't think there was an equivalent in this one. Maybe Case 3, but I give it a pass because it didn't drag on and it had  Myriam who might be my favorite character in the game. She needed more face time (literally, too).I dunno about you guys, but I like Athena. Definitely not Mary Sue material; she's the focus of the game much like Apollo was the focus of his. ...Well, actually, he wasn't really, but for the sake of the argument AA4 was his game  I hope she sticks around for the next games if there are any.The new graphics and absolutely hilarious facial expressions/animations definitely helped breathe some life into the series. I was worried that the 3D models would look kinda weird, but they actually look better than the sprites. It's amazing how well the crazyfaces translate to cel shading (or whatever it is). I know I bitched about Robin earlier in the thread, but now I don't think the character was all that bad. Just, kinda mishandled. Could have been better, but not really a big deal. I still like Robin, though admittedly I'm biased  I wouldn't mind seeing her in another game, if it means a chance for some more character development. Kinda like how I was glad to see Adrian in AA3.The one thing I really didn't like about the game, though, was the anime cutscenes. The voice acting was kinda meh and they really weren't impressive enough to earn their keep. I did like the one with Juniper and Hugh, though, that was nice and creepy. Also, Athena's flashbacks. Also gently caress you when are we gonna see MAYA. I MISS YOU MAYA come back Strange Quark posted:Hey, about case 3's first trial day: Robin being actually a girl but raised a boy? That's totally a How I Met Your Mother reference, isn't it? The name's even the freaking same. CASE 3: Robin's a common androgynous name, and the girl-raised-as-boy thing is old as gently caress. The translators probably did name her that as a reference, though obviously the Japanese version wouldn't have.

Strange Quark posted:Huh. So it turns out if you lose all of your life bar, you get an option to try again and the games boots you to just before your last decision with a full life bar. Which is nice when you're just save scumming anyway, but it does kind of raise the question why there even is a life bar in the first place. Besides for dramatic effect, that is. I guess so that you don't immediately get a game over and have to reload if you make the wrong decision once or twice.

And More posted:For my taste, he comes off as a bit too energetic at first, eventhough I really liked his interactions with Athena during the second case and how disappointed she got when he was willing to give Phoenix all information without any coercing on her part. The moment that really sold me on Fulbright, though, was when he tasered Blackquill. That's got to be a first in Ace Attorney, right? Everybody always throws mugs, and wigs at Phoenix, but the prosecution can just get away with anything. It was really cathartic for me. Yeah, that wasn't too bad and I liked him a little bit more after that, but still not all that much. ENDGAME SPOILERS: ...and then we find out his actual identity and now it just seems utterly disgusting in hindsight.

Suspicious Cook posted:Something Ace Attorney has always been good about was giving you a big, personal investment in the final case but I didn't really feel it this time. They had all the makings of it with Trucy held hostage, Athena with homicide charges, and Apollo with his personal vendetta, but it glossed over that and focused on this guy that didn't really mean anything to us. We got a literal personification of a faceless entity. It was like Bioware's awful habit of "The Reapers" or "The Darkspawn" instead of a well constructed antagonist to single out. We could hate Dahlia or Manfred because they were twisted schemers trying to harm our beloved cast. In DD we didn't know who to hate because he didn't even know who he was. The "boss fight" with him controlling his emotions was really cool and I really loved Fulbright's reveal, but as an antagonist "The Phantom" was just another Quercus Alba coming out of nowhere at the last minute. ENDGAME SPOILERS: I dunno, it really does seem like 5-5 wasn't really about the phantom at all. It was all about characters we already knew - Athena (coming to terms with her past), Apollo (conflict over justice and some sorely needed character development/differentiation), Blackquill (vindication), Phoenix (the end of the dark age of the law). Everything established in Case 4 (which was kinda mediocre) was just a setup for Case 5, which I am perfectly fine with cause Case 5 was baller. In fact, the crap about the phantom really was the weakest part of it - I couldn't care less about the actual dude behind the mask and all the philosophical identity bullshit, I was more interested in the lawyers burning the poo poo out of the guy, his epic breakdown and seeing Athena and Blackquill get revenge. Maybe I'm biased because I didn't like Bobby Fulbright at any point in the game, but he's probably the shittiest of all the Final Case Bad Guys in the entire series. RIP annoying douchebag I guess. I agree that it would have been even more effective had we really gotten a chance to hate his guts, but the same thing that makes "his lack of identity means he isn't anyone" work, also makes it impossible to really care about taking him down. Instead, it's just kinda unfulfilling. He's like...the Yu Yevon of Ace Attorney. Who is this guy, why should I care about him, why is he the final boss, and who really gives a poo poo? I still like Case 5 a lot. It's great. But Bobby Fulbright and the phantom can be completely cut out of the equation and it wouldn't change a drat thing. In fact, getting rid of them and having someone else be the bad guy would have improved the case. God, I hate you, Fulbright. Even when you're dead you annoy me. Pick posted:He's fine but he ain't no Gumshoe and I really really really really need Gumshoe to come back ENDGAME SPOILER I'd bring up the fact that he's supposedly acting that way because of the whole "derr I have no emotions" poo poo, but when you really think about it that doesn't make sense at all.

Scher posted:Apparently, something happened and now false evidence and false convictions are running rampant. In other words, nothing has changed in the Phoenix Wright universe other than the game trying to hammer us over the head with how bad that all is. That explains why you can't really feel the effects of it in the game. You can't really get any more corrupt than a 99.8% conviction rate.  Well Manicured Man posted:Case 5 spoilers: Suspicious Cook posted:Agreed. I don't want to make it sound like I disliked the case. Quite the opposite. I just didn't really care all that much about The Phantom. Maybe if Fulbright was The Phantom the whole time instead of being dead, or if "The Phantom" was just some ruse Fulbright used to draw suspicion away from himself it would have been different, but he just didn't do it for me. It's still a minor gripe in the face of the important members of the cast being their awesome selves. ENDGAME SPOILERS (and if you finished the game, read this): I liked bringing him down. The act of doing it was fun as poo poo. But I feel like who I was bringing down is just as important and I just couldn't give a poo poo about the guy in particular. Case 5 really is about the protagonists/main characters, and it doesn't try to hide it at all. That guy was just kind of a throwaway cardboard cutout and didn't really matter. ... Holy poo poo, I just understood why they made him the last boss.  Hear me out on this. The last case is all about Athena, Apollo, Blackquill and Phoenix. Everything is about getting over the past, dealing with the present, and securing a good future (or whatever). We can all agree on this. In that case, the bad guy really does not matter in the end. It could be Starbuck, it could be Tonate, it could be Means, it could be loving Oldbag for all I care. The point is, it's not about him. The identity of the bad guy is irrelevant because in Case 5 and in the long scheme of Dual Destinies, they don't really HAVE an identity, they're just there to tie up the story and character development. They're just an agent to provide thrill and drama by setting all the events of the game in motion. That's why they bring up the lack of identity issue, that's why they made his breakdown what it is. Who he is doesn't matter. He's just a tool. The final boss of Dual Destinies is, ironically enough, the means to an end - a reason to develop the characters and something to punch so you can get the princess and save the day. Nothing more. The final boss is so nebulous and so ill-defined that the game just glosses over them - and it was always meant to do that. That's why they created the phantom. They decided not to bullshit us with saying that the villain matters any more than the main characters' struggles, so they made him a non-entity. If we think about it that way, the whole phantom bullshit actually makes sense! Anyway, I still don't like Fulbright.

While his ways of lawyering have long been forgotten, Apollo can slice and dice corrupt law enforcement, politicians, and government officials with his blade of justice! His enhanced precision allows him the cut enemies up accurately as the world around him slows. But he then falls to the blade of his samurai rival Simon Blackquill. With new cybernetic enhancements, Apollo once again rises, and goes after Simon and his band of allies to claim revenge. I want this game.

Chaltab posted:Yeah, there's definitely a lot of that going on and it's much better than what I was expecting (I thought one of the robots had done it) but I do feel that (Endgame Spoilers) They sort of undermined that by delivering some pathos with their usual dish of psychotic breakdown. The Phantom remorselessly killed Athena's mom and Apollo's best friend, and while the game ultimately renders who he is irrelevant, it also asks you to empathize his whole "lost his own identity" thing. You're ultimately left with the feeling that he's so broken an individual that it's whoever ordered the initial sabotage of HAT is more accountable than he is. I agree, it would have been better had they not tried to draw that drama out of him right at the last second. Doing that displaces the feeling that you've finally caught the bad guy (like you said), makes you feel weird by trying to empathize with him, and fucks with my theory a little. Hey, I might not be completely correct but you can't prove I'm incorrect Gyre posted:This reminds me, I found an annoying piece of evidence they overlooked in case five: Fulbright's heartbeat increased when Athena stabbed him when he was disguised as Metis. It's very odd that you can't present the fact that Metis died instantly from being stabbed in the heart, so her heartbeat couldn't increase. That tripped me up too. I noticed when Ponko first testified, kept expecting it to show up later and nobody ever commented on it. Maybe it's a mistake Chaltab posted:Did anyone else get the vibe that (case 5)Aura was in love with Metis? It seemed they were implying that Aura had much stronger feelings than just coworkers/friends towards Metis, but then nothing came of it* She most certainly was. It's all but outright stated. Also, I really really liked Aura's character and I wish they did more with her. Between Aura and Robin, this has been the queerest AA game yet

I suppose there's one thing I can say for the phantom: his lack of identity makes it easy to read into his existence and make it seem better than it actually is. I was also expecting at some point that maybe, just maybe, the phantom was actually a robot or cyborg. That would explain the lack of identity and emotions. I then thought about Ponco and Clonco - they had emotions and an identity, so that wouldn't work. But they did say other nations were trying to spy on Japanifornia and (I assume) steal their technology, so it wouldn't be odd that they'd send an inferior (to Ponco and Clonco) robot assassin to steal everything. I'm just glad we can theorycraft a lot over his purpose. It's nice

Suspicious Cook posted:Something I really want to know about now is what Kristoph's black locks were all about. The common theory was originally that he was guarding his secret so tightly, he wouldn't have confessed even if Phoenix had evidence to present but thanks to Pearl, now we know they're for a subconsciously guarded secret. What trauma is he suffering besides his own insanity? Yeah, I'm wondering about this too. In all likelihood, though, Takumi probably intended it to be something other than the explanation we get in AA5 - so it wouldn't necessarily apply to him. Either way, I like the idea of the black locks being "hidden from yourself" as opposed to "hidden from others". I hope they show up again, but I don't know if they can be used to great effect after their appearance in AA5. That might have been the best way they could use them.

Irony Be My Shield posted:I've finished it now. I think he's just using their likenesses as a way of proving his point: he doesn't really have an identity apart from "generic bad guy". He could be anyone as far as we know. I don't think he interfered with any of the cases, though. He had no reason to. Basically: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OR4N5OhcY9s&t=135s Incidentally, if anyone still cares about That One Character from Case 3, I wrote a post about it. Case 3 end spoilers, natch: http://retrocombine.tumblr.com/post/65641724866 Pollyanna fucked around with this message at 01:41 on Nov 1, 2013 |

What the gently caress is Robin wearing, anyway? What is that thing? All I can find is something about an old manga and I don't think it actually exists in real life.

Snix posted:Wait, this an issue? (More case 3 spoiler) The situation here is that Robin is a female in every sense of the word. Biologically and mentally. She does not identify as a male. The reason she posed as male is because she was pretty much forced to. No, having her go from super-masculine to super-feminine is not anti-trans, and anyone who thinks that is either not thinking about it at all, or thinking that just to have something to be outraged about. I'm actually writing up a reply to someone who claims that Robin's issues with gender expression, her brace, and her being outed - to her relief - "drudges up negative experiences transgender people have and ends them with the most asinine moral". Also, that she is not receiving the proper level of respect and that the game does not acknowledge the hardships that real people in their position have. I'm having trouble understanding their point, prolly cause it's late, but there is definitely a big to-do about Robin. (Frickin' Tumblr.)
