 quote:What is Phoenix Wright? We've done this rodeo before. Justice For All is the second game in the Phoenix Wright series, and it picks up approximately a year after the first game. Updates will be once or twice a week, if all goes well, just like last time. Ground Rules 1. No Spoilers. Period. No spoiler tags, no winks and nudges, no coy references. All these games have are their story, and I do not want to see anyone spoiled on those. People can get carried away with these discussions so I'll say it again: NO FUCKIN' SPOILERS. NOTE: Anything that happened in Game 1 is not a spoiler. You are free to discuss that as you please. 2. Think about what you're posting. The characters in these games are really charming and it's easy to get very attached. I appreciate that and I have strong feelings on 'em too. I don't mind people talking about stuff or even getting derailed - just, you know, make sure you're not being a creep.

Case 1 - The Lost Turnabout Part 1  Welcome back! Let's get started.   (You might want to watch this.)   : Grr!! How did I get into this mess...?  : You can't run forever, Mr. Phoenix Wright!        : I really shouldn't be dozing off right before a trial starts anyway... : Huh... looks like they hung up. : Talk about a close call. I hate to do this to you, but...   : Ouch... My head... It's throbbing...   : Ack! Uh... G-Good morning...  : People are at their best first thing in the morning! Where's that fighting spirit?: ... Sorry, but can you please turn the cheeriness down? My head... sort of hurts.... : Roger that!: ...: ...: ... Um... Am I in trouble or something?: Huh? "Trouble...?": W-Wait, never mind. You're a policewoman, right? I thought maybe I had done something wrong...? : Wh-What are you talking about?: I'm the one in trouble!: ... What?: I'm placing my life in your hands today, Mr. Phoenix Wright!: Life... in... my hands...?: You promised me! You said you would prove that I was not guilty!: "N... Not... guilty"? : "Leave it to me!" : you said! You! The one and only Phoenix Wright came to save the day! And just like that, I was moved to tears, sir! : I'll never forget what you're doing for me, EVER!: (What is this girl babbling about...?): Actually, I really love to watch court proceedings, and I always root for you to win! When I'm off duty, I like to come here and... ...?: What's wrong? You've been acting really strange and you keep staring at me. You're making me kind of nervous, sir...: Oh... sorry. (Hmm... I'm afraid to ask, but here goes...) : Whaaaaat!?  : How can you do this to the fragile heart of a girl about to go one trial...?: You're absolutely horrible!: No -- I mean, I didn't mean it like that!: Is this how a defense attorney treats his clients, sir!? I can't believe this!!: No, it's just... ...Well, I think you have the wrong person. I'm...: Yes...!? "I'm..."!?  : Will the defendant and her lawyer please proceed to the courtroom immediately!: The trial's about to start! I'm counting on you in there, OK? : (Let's see... What can I piece together...? Hmm, from our conversation, I can safely say that I'm probably a defense attorney.) : (And that girl... I said I'd prove her "not guilty"... I can't believe I made such an irresponsible promise.) Aaaaaargh! Someone, please!! Tell me this is just a bad dream! (Why do I get the feeling this is one dream I won't be waking up from...? *gulp*)Next time: Court is in session. Mors Rattus fucked around with this message at 20:01 on Aug 13, 2017 |

So, in order to justify a tutorial in the second game, Phoenix is going to walk into the courtroom with a massive head wound and no one is going to say anything? This is off to a wonderful start.

A massive head wound that he got while the guards at the courtroom door were watching. I suppose defense attorneys are lower on the food chain than cockroaches.

Good news! You get a bonus update that's not, like, a quarter of my normal size, because I got back from doing the stuff I had to do today earlier than expected and so am putting it up today, rather than tomorrow. Case 1 - The Lost Turnabout Part 2      : Court is now in session for the trial of Maggey Byrde.The judge is the same as ever. Good ol' Judgey's a staple.    : What is it, Mr. Wright?  : Do you see any other defense attorneys here? : (I guess not. Urk.)   : (I guess I should say, "Yes" for now.): Are you ready, Mr. Wright? : Yes, Your Honor. (... Wait a sec...): (If her life is in my hands... I should really do the responsible thing...)Or...  : Um...: What if I said, "No"? Would that be alright?: Of course it wouldn't!: (Then why bother asking to begin with??)And the two paths link.  : Actually, you see, Your Honor... My memory is kind of... : The court will not hear the defense's excuses.: Because the defendant is a member of the police, this case is under great scrutiny. Therefore, we must make this trial fair but swift.: I believe I have told you this before. I hope you're not telling me you've forgotten!: (Actually, I did...): Mr. Payne, your opening statement, please. : Yes, Your Honor. As I'm sure you're well aware, the defendant is accused of killing her lover. What's worse, her lover was a fellow police officer!: A policeman? You did WHAT to a policeman!?  : And besides, Dustin and I... We weren't "lovers" like that!: In any case... The prosecution will prove that the guilty party is none other than the defendant! : Very well.: Mr. Payne, please call your first witness.  : Let's see what you've learned since last time.: I won't show you any mercy this time, rookie!: Okaaay... (And who are you again!?): Please bring Detective Dick Gumshoe to the stand.: Here we go! Don't let me down, Mr. Wright!: (Nowhere to hide... I'm sooo dead...) : Witness, please state your name and occupation. : My name is Dick Gumshoe, sir. : I'm the detective in charge of homicides down at the precinct, sir.: You don't look very well, Detective.: Well, sir, the defendant... She works under me, so, you know...: You work under that detective? : He's such a wonderful guy, sir! I'll never forget what he's done for me!: (OK, calm down, I believe you.): Detective Gumshoe. Please describe for us the details of this murder.: Yes, sir. : It happened at the park near headquarters, "Exposé Park".  : He was pushed down from the benches on the upper path, sir. The landing beat his body up bad and snapped his neck.: The details are listed in the report that was distributed yesterday... : (Why do I not remember getting a copy...?): I see everything is in order here.: Even the estimated time of death is unusually well documented!: The victim's watch stopped from the impact of the landing, sir.: The results of the autopsy confirmed the time of death.: If I may, Your Honor,  It goes into the Court Record, so let's take a look at what's in there.         And back to the trial. : Now then, I recall at yesterday's preliminary hearing, a very important piece of evidence was brought to our attention.: Yes, Your Honor.: Yes, sir.: Yes... I guess?: Mr. Wright!: Is your head on right today!?: There was a very crucial piece of evidence found under the victim's body!: Um, was there? : Have you lost your mind!?: Well, actually... Um, it's just nerves. Give me a second.: Whaaaat!? How can you talk like such an amateur!? I thought you were a pro, sir! ... : Alright, sir. I'll help you through this! At a time like this, maybe you ought to take a glance at the Court Record!: ...Court Record?: Yup! Info about evidence and people involved with this case are all listed there, sir! You can look at the Court Record by touching the Court Record Button!: The Court Record Button...? You really know what you're talking about, huh?: It's too bad I'm a cop, right? Just think! I could totally be a legal aide instead!: Mr. Wright.: Yes, Your Honor!: Court is in session. Save your chit-chat for later!: S-Sorry, Your Honor...: (Well, I guess I'd better check the Court Record and see what I can find... What was it again? The Court Record Button...?): Alright, Mr. Wright. Let's see if your notes are in order.  : Um... I'm pretty sure it was a wallet... : This is a court of law! You can't just make wild guesses!: Agreed.: They're right, Mr. Wright! You have to check the Court Record before you answer! If you don't, your client might end up with a guilty verdict!: ("Your client"? You do realize that's you, right?): I will ask you one more time.: What was the piece of evidence found underneath the victim's body? : If he's a cop, then I guess maybe a badge or something...: Mr. Wright! Please stick to the facts of this case!  : I will not have an uninformed lawyer in my court.: Yes, Your Honor. (Guess there's no fooling those two.): Please, for my sake, look at the Court Record, sir!: (Uh, it's the Court Record Button, right?): I will ask you one more time.: What was the piece of evidence found underneath the victim's body?  : That's right.: The victim grabbed the criminal's glasses as he was being shoved, sir, : ...: Hey! Why are you giving me the evil eye!?: Those glasses you're wearing...: Nnnngh... : Yes, this is my spare pair.: But these glasses they found at the scene of the crime are not mine! I swear, sir!: You sure about that?: Look, it was a coincidence that on that same day, I accidentally stepped on mine!: (A "coincidence" she says... Urk...) : Eh hee hee hee hee hee hee! Your Honor.: I have further evidence to present.: Oh? You have more?: And this evidence is very decisive.: Very well!: Let's hear from our witness about this "evidence".       : This is a picture of the writing, Your Honor. : Why, this is...! Yes, I can see the name is clearly written here. : Understood. The court accepts it into evidence. : As if the glasses alone didn't make you look suspicious, the victim even wrote your name clear as day on the ground!: But, but, but, I already told you! Those glasses aren't mine!: And how do you explain his dying message?: ...: It's a conspiracy! I'm not guilty, sir!:: Mr. Wright, you may cross-examine the witness.: Cross-examine? : This is it! I'm counting on you!: Sure... But what am I supposed to do?: WHAT!? This isn't like you at all! Normally, this is the part where you get in the witnesses' faces!: Get in their faces and do what?: I guess there's no way around it! Ok, I'm going to lend you a hand!: The prosecution's witnesses all hide things from the court, which means they lie from time to time.: Lie? But...isn't that detective your superior?: Well, even if they don't mean to lie, sometimes people just remember things wrong. : It doesn't matter! Either way it's bad for us, sir! That's why when you question witnesses, you have to find and expose their lies!: Mr. Wright. Your cross-examination, please.: Y-Yes, Your Honor.: (Talk about trial by fire. Here goes nothing. As long as I can "expose the lies", we should be alright.)  You will notice that our little HP badges have been replaced by a bar. This is because the bar means that, in theory, different mistakes can do different amounts of 'damage' rather than all of them just being a single hit. Beyond this, it functions identically - when the bar empties, our client is found guilty.   : Do you have any proof that those belong to my client?: The lenses are for near-sightedness, and are almost the same strength as hers. Even the frames look kinda like the ones she's wearing in her ID, pal.   : Hold it! : "Almost" and "kinda" are not good enough in a case like this!: Er, um...: Do you have more definitive proof? Is there something that clearly links the defendant with those glasses!?: Er, um, uh... The dirt and sand rubbed out any traces of fingerprints or anything else.: So what you are saying, detective,: is that you have nothing that proves those glasses are my client's.: Um, something like that... : Wh-Wh-What!? : I see...: Hmm... So there is no proof...: Wow, that was amazing!: I could totally feel it, down in my gut! : Now, you're sure he was pushed and that's how he fell?: Yeah, pal. If you look at the wounds on the victim's body, there's no way it was anything else.: Hmm...: Please continue with your testimony, detective.: Anyway, the victim fell pretty far... : The culprit's name?: Yeah. I was surprised, too. I didn't want to believe it, but...: Was the name that of my client? : Are you absolutely certain!?: Sorry, pal, but that's what it said. : (Hmm... He's got a point...): Hey, hold on!: Huh?: Don't "huh" me! I know the picture says "Maggie", but... : That's how you know you found: a contradiction! Now hurry up and present some evidence!: (So THAT'S what spotting a contradiction feels like... I'd better check the Court Record again...) : And you are certain that it was the victim who wrote the name on the ground?: There were scratches on his fingers from the rough sand, and there were grains of sand stuck under his pointer finger nail.: Hmm... It certainly seems that the name was written by the vicitm himself.: (That didn't go well.): (If it really was him, then we're in a lot of trouble...)And...loop. : Don't give up! Keep that fighting spirit going!: I'm glad you're all pumped up, but...: I really want to see your "special move", sir!: My what??: You always look so cool when you present evidence!  : Actually, I was just thinking about that!: Yes! The great Phoenix Wright is back!: Oh, that's right!: Huh?: I heard that lately, you can present not only evidence, but preople's profiles as well!She is correct - starting with this game, character profiles can be used for anything evidence can, in and out of court. It's quite handy! : It sure makes things a bit more complicated, so be careful, sir!: (People's profiles, huh? Alright, let's give this another try.)Or...  : Um, about this "presenting evidence"...: OK. When you're listening to testimony, you can compare it with the Court Record.: If you do that, you're sure to find contradictions in the witness's statements!: C-Contradictions?: Well, there are many reasons why a testimony might contradict the evidence. The witness might be lying, or maybe they're just mistaken.: Uh huh. And?: You still have no idea what I'm talking about?? When you find a contradiction, open the Court Record to the item you need...: And then I present that evidence, right?: You got it! You can also present people's profiles as evidence!: With so many items, make sure you present the right thing!: Hmm... Sounds complicated, but I'll give it a try. You're pretty good at this.: Wow, being praised by a pro! I don't know what to say!Next time: I'm pretty sure you can solve this.

As glad as I am that not all people disliked this game and that the fifth game is apparently not as well loved as I was led to initially believe, the fourth game is underrated in my opinion. It has an interesting atmosphere, and it's the last of the main series that was written by Shuu Takumi. I'm looking forward to seeing this game again. It's pulling up old memories of what I thought when I initially played it. I wonder if people would have given this game more of a positive reception if the music style wasn't such a departure from the first game. Going from an energetic chiptunes soundfont to something that sounds a like a MIDI was a noticeable change for me.

It's great to see this series back. Since the first LP I've played through this one (admittedly, with the occasional need for a walkthrough to explain the game's dodgy logic), so I won't be speculating this time, but I'll still be watching eagerly!

My least favorite case comes in the third game, and there's one particular character in it that is why. Worse than anyone in this game. Worse than Oldbag, who is a LOT more frustrating when you're playing than just reading along, imo. I will not spoil anything. But I couldn't get past that particular case and was really glad that the fourth game and on didn't have anyone nearly that obnoxious.

Pretty sure that's supposed to be 'fell.' Unless that's a [sic]. This game has some noteworthy transcribing issues. Also this game introducing profiles just now is such a relief.

The music in this one feels more hostile than the previous game. I think that's intentional, as in this case, the courtroom isn't Phoenix's home field anymore. And even without the amnesia... well, there was that nightmare to consider.

During the last LP, since I had never played the game, I speculated (in spoiler tags so that I wouldn't accidentally spoil it for anyone else) about the cases so that people who've played before could enjoy watching me guess. You've asked for no spoiler tags, though, so maybe I'd better refrain from doing that this time? After all, some people would probably see spoiler tags and think "Oh, free reign to post real spoilers behind tags", and I'd hate to encourage that. But if you think the LP would be enhanced from having someone trying to blind-guess at the solutions, let me know and I'll post my speculations. (Of course, this first case is the tutorial, so it's obvious — but in later cases, I'd totally be speculating).

Dr. Fetus posted:Speculation really doesn't need to be spoiler tagged. If you happened to get something right on the money, it's only a spoiler if some jerk points out you were correct. I mostly agree, but the one benefit to spoiler-tagging speculation is if several people are speculating, and want to solve the puzzle without anyone else's input. E.g., if I read through the most recent LP post and wanted to speculate, but when I scrolled down to click "Reply" I saw someone else's post that said (without spoiler tags), "I bet the butler did it"... well, even though I wasn't suspecting the butler before, now I can't help but notice the suspicious way in which the butler omitted that key bit of information. And my own speculation, which would have gone in a different direction (nobody suspects the valet!) has now been contaminated with knowledge I didn't want to have. Even though nobody else posted in the thread to confirm the butler's guilt, now nobody gets to read my incorrect speculations about the valet. So I'll be happy to speculate outside of spoiler tags if that's what people want, but if I'm not the only one speculating, it would be nice to have the option of spoiler-tagging everyone's speculation.

Case 1 - The Lost Turnabout Part 3  : ... ... ...: Wh-What is it?: ... : (Without thinking, I just blurted out, "Objection!"...)   : Detective Gumshoe!: Y-You talking to me, pal?: Please state the defendant's name for me!: What are you trying to prove with this futile exercise, Mr. Wright?: You'll see. This is a very crucial line of questioning! Actually, Mr. Payne, you can answer. : The defendant's name, if you please.: Wh-Where is this ridiculous question coming from? The defendant's, uh, name is, uh... "Maggie Byrde". : I think someone needs to: check the Court Record.: What...? It says right here that it's "Maggey Byrde". : It looks like the bird caught the cat napping!: What's going on here!? : I have no idea either, sir!: As you can see,  : This is a blatant contradiction of facts!: Ohh!: How about that? I hadn't even noticed!: But, but, but...! But maybe the victim didn't know how to spell her name correctly...: May I remind you that it was you who said,: "The defendant is accused of killing her lover.": If they were truly lovers, it would be impossible for him to have not known her name!  : This is very true.: Mr. Payne.: Y-Yes, Your Honor?: Are you absolutely certain that the defendant and the victim, Dustin Prince, were, in fact, lovers?: Y-Yes, I am quite certain, Your Honor. They were a well-known couple in the police force.: Detective Gumshoe.: Please testify for the court the relationship between the victim and the defendant.: Yes, sir...       : Oh... Those two sound like they were close...: Nevertheless, tragedy struck.: Hmm, yes, I see... You may cross-examine the witness, Mr. Wright.  : How do you know about this?: Every year in March, we have a training camp for us cops. Officer Byrde was a rookie at the time, and she and Officer Prince seemed to hit it off.: (They got close, I take it...): Actually, I was supposed to go, too, but...: I couldn't pay the deposit for the trip, so I didn't. If only I had gone on that trip...: What is it?: Oh, uh, nothing, sir!: Really! Anyway... : Marriage? But wasn't the victim 8 years older than her? : What!? You saying a guy's gotta marry someone the same age as himself, pal!?: No, that's not what I meant at all...: Detective Gumshoe and Dustin were only a year apart, you know?: (Ugh... I think this fella has a ways to go before marriage...): Mind your own business, pal! : The day of the incident... You mean September 6th?: Yeah.: The victim, Officer Prince, had just gotten off duty at 5:30 PM that day, and since Maggey's night shift hadn't started yet, they went to the park for a bit...: Ah, I remembered when I was young and in love. Oh, it was a jolly time.: (That's great, Your Honor... I'm glad you're such a cheerful old man...) : ... You seem to know a lot about the defendant.: Well, that's because, uh, I'm her boss. And I've gotta watch out for my subordinates!: But even what she was going to give as a present? Isn't that going a bit too far...?: Hey, pal! Watch what you say! I know everything that happens under me! If someone so much as scratches their...: I REALLY don't need to know that much...: Mr. Wright! Please refrain from badgering the witness!: I agree. Even if the witness has a crush on the defendant,: that should not be the point of discussion at this time.: Whoa! Wait a second! Why are we talking about this!?: It's all YOUR fault, pal! You're guilty, guilty, guilty! I should have you arrested!: (I think the good Detective is about done here...) : "Over 2 months ago?": Yup. She's a very considerate woman, pal!: So... What was this birthday present?: She got him a glove.: A single glove? Why would she only give him one?: Um, actually, Your Honor, the glove in question is a baseball glove.: Oh, I see. A baseball glove.: Officer Prince was a huge baseball fan. : Just now, I believe you said that the present was something: she had "gotten over 2 months ago".: Yeah.: Are you saying she went out and bought the glove over 2 months ago? : Nah, nothing like that, pal!: Then, what is it like?: She ordered it. It was custom-made!: Custom-made? The glove was custom-made? : Yup, that's what I said!: Hmm...: So the glove was custom-made.: Your Honor, I really don't see how this glove is related to the case.: Yes, it would seem there is little relevance. What do you think, Mr. Wright? Clearly a ridiculous notion. : Hmm, I suppose it isn't really relevant.: Th-Then...: Then why were you wasting this court's time with irrelevant questions!?: Uh, I was curious and got, uh, carried away, Your Honor...?: Witness, please ignore this airheaded lawyer and continue with your testimony.: Detective Gumshoe, please tell the court why you knew about the baseball glove. : You discussed what the defendant was going to give to her boyfriend?: Well, I'm, er... : *ahem*: She, uh... trusts me, so...: (Boy does he look proud of himself right now...)And loop. : ...: Wh-What is it this time?: That testimony didn't sound like it had any contradictions in it to me. There just wasn't anything that really stuck out as odd.: Yeah... I wonder what would happen if you tried to get more information from him?: Get more information?: Yeah! You know!: Like how they "press" people on those old cop shows, sir!: So I should try "pressing" him, huh?But what if we had decided the glove was relevant?  : (I don't know where this will lead me, but...): Of course it is relevant!: That glove is the key to this whole case!: Yes! Bluffing to the max!: Now, THIS is the Mr. Wright I know!: I'm so happy you're back, sir! I was wondering how long it'd take! This is great!: (Hmm, pressing people... It feels like I've done this before. As if I used to do this to squeeze information from even the most tight-lipped people.): Very well.: If you are that convnced, then let's hear some more about this matter.: Actually, I brought the glove with me today.: And?: Why didn't you say so earlier? Hurry and show the glove to this court!: Well, I didn't think it had anything to do with this case... : It's, uh... rather yellow, isn't it? : Officer Prince really liked the color yellow.: And that's why you had to special order it?: Yup, that's right! That, and one other reason...: I think this court has heard enough.: It is clear that the victim and the defendant were involved with each other.: Yes, that's correct, Your Honor.: Now, if that is true, it brings up an important question. : I see your point, Your Honor. Detective Gumshoe, please tell the court a little more about the name on the ground.: Yes, sir.        : Hmm...: Yes, a perfectly logical conclusion. Now then, Mr. Wright, you may cross-examine the witness.: Thank you, Your Honor.  : But can you really determine handwriting based on a sample written in sand?: Heh, this is why amateurs are amateurs.: We're not a buncha simpletons, pal! Scientific investigation in this country's actually pretty good.: Hmm,: I believe it's time to get back to the real point.: Agreed, Your Honor. So, what was the result of the investigation? : So in the end, you couldn't confirm it?: Hey, don't you look down on us! I told you! We're not a bunch of simpletons, pal!: Everyone knows you can't find out everything you want with scientific investigation!: I've never heard that before.: Me, either.: Nor I.: I never heard anything like that at the police academy, sir...: OK, so I made it up. Anyway... : His pointer finger?: You know, the one you're always POINTING and waving around in people's faces.: Aha, ha, ha. Don't tell me it bothers you...: Every time you do it, I have a mini-heart attack. It's like you're trying to kill me, pal.: In any case, you examined the victim's index finger, correct?: Yeah. We figured there should be something on his finger if he had been writing in sand.: Hmm...: And the results? : And what does that prove?: Well, it proves that he did write that name with his own finger.: Yes, which explains why there was sand stuck under his nail.: (I guess he's right...): And there's more... : "Scratches on his skin?": Yup. You can't see them with your naked eye, but they're there.: That is incredible!: Sure is! That's the power of scientific investigation! They're so small that we had to use a magnifying glass...: like a really strong one. It's got that scientific-sounding name...: You mean a microscope?: Yeah, that's it! We used one of those and that's how we found them!: (I can't believe this guy doesn't know what a microscope is...) : Are you absolutely sure?: I believe in the power of science.: (Hmm, I wonder if my evidence is solid enough to counter with?)Loop. : (Listening to this, you would think there was only one conclusion...): (that the name was definitely written by the victim...): But don't you think that would be really strange, sir!? If Dustin really wrote that message with his right hand,: do you think I would have gone through that much trouble to get him his present?: (The present...? What about it...?)Can you solve the puzzle?   : That's the glove, right?: Could you tell the court what is special about this glove?: What's special? Um, never really thought about it, but uh...: It's REALLY yellow... ...: And that's about it.: Yes, it's REALLY yellow, but that is only one of its qualities.: Huh?: There's another reason why it's special.: And what would that be?: It's very simple.: This glove is made for a left-handed person!: Left-handed...?: Why, you're absolutely right! This glove is made to be worn on the right hand!: That is why it had to be custom-made.: I have never seen a bright yellow left-hander's glove for sale. Have you?: Well, um... no.: So, Detective.: Which hand did the victim use to write the name with, again...?: That's easy! : Don't forget that the victim: was left-handed!: Aaaaah!!: This is... That is... I mean... I... Objec--: Overruled.: Mr. Wright, I would like to: know what your line of reasoning proves.: There is only one conclusion that can be drawn!: A left-handed person could not have written a message with his right hand! Therefore! : Order! Order!: When you think about it that way, then yes, : Then that means Maggey is...! : Mr. Payne.: Y-Y-Yes, Your Honor?: The evidence the prosecution has presented has failed to prove the defendant's guilt. In fact, I believe you have proven her to be innocent! : Alright! You did it, Mr. Wright!: Whew! I feel like I can breathe again!: It seems that we have reached the conclusion.: You did a fine job once again, Mr. Wright.: Me, Your Honor?: Ah, well, thank you, sir...: See, you got complimented by the judge again! You're really good! And that's why you can't give up being a lawyer, sir!: (Are you joking!? I'm more than ready to retire!): I will now announce my verdict. This court finds the defendant, Maggey Byrde...: No!! Not yet!  : Wh-What is the meaning of this, Mr. Payne!?: The prosecution is not finished yet!: What do you mean!?: We would like to call our next witness to the stand!: Whaaaaaaaaaat!? : And what did this witness... witness?: The moment the victim was pushed to his death! What's more, he saw the very face of the culprit! : Order! Order in the court!: I believe a recess is in order.: Afterward, we will hear from this new witness.: (I had a feeling that was a bit too easy...): (Hmm, I need more information. I'll have to see what I can find out during this recess.): (I can't let my guard down! It's only going to get tougher from here!): Court is adjourned for recess! Next time: The true Dark Souls begins here. Mors Rattus fucked around with this message at 20:18 on Aug 21, 2017 |

Mors Rattus posted:Speculation is fine in spoiler tags - just not actual spoilers. If anyone tries to get cute, well, we'll figure it out then. Okay, then before I read the next update, I'll just register my theory that the misspelled name is a bit of a giveaway: it was written by the murderer afterwards, moving the dead man's hand as a sort of pencil. Not that that one wasn't obvious, the way they hit you over the head with the hints in the tutorial case.

Everything is so needlessly dramatic. I love it.

This is the AA game I've played the least, so I'm excited to see this LP! One thing I'll say for now is that--while the first game's Cross Examination theme is definitely groovier--I enjoy how the darker and more foreboding nature of this game's Cross Examination theme. I think it goes far in helping Justice For All have a more separate identity from its predecessor.

Error. That and the one from earlier are fixed, the game doesn't need me helping it misspell.

I wonder how many people who aren't familiar with baseball got stuck here because they didn't know that you wear the glove on your non-dominant hand.
