It's fairly reasonable though

||The defense has just accused a highly respected coroner of being accomplice to a murder with the only thing backing his argument of a body double up being a waxwork with a mask on that looks nothing like the victim. Pretty understandable they'd have enough and want to end the trial right there and then.||

I'm retrospect yeah, it was actually way more justified than I thought. It was just so understated at the time that it seemed sudden, but when you think back to some of the dumb shit that caused other summations it totally works.

The only questionable thing about that jury is why corn child was there....

Also, I just realized that van Zieks has the same VA as Estinien from FFXIV.

THIS is what was nagging at me! I'm so used to all the VAs in AA games being absolute nobody's with soundbites and a few terribly voiced trailer lines.

I will accept G1-3 being pretty good, I think I like it even more in retrospect considering how much pacing was a critical factor of me hating G1, which wasn't and issue with that case at all. I pretty much dislike everything else in the game, though, other than Gina. Sholmes.and the running joke of him looking stupid just off screen. It has a very, very real problem of repetitive character traits that just keep going and going and going. Van Zieks definitely the worst offender in the first game here, I barely even consider him a character at all there.

It took me 4 days to get through G1-5 because I was so bored and was constantly pausing the game to watch something on YouTube and then coming back.

I really hated it....a lot. Easily the worst Final AA case...and I think I'm including I1-5 in there, but it's been a while and I remember that being a major slog at times.

I mean they tell you to cross your eyes and everything, I guess they didn't use the actual DEVICE, but it still takes forever before they let you actually present the obvious evidence. A huge problem with GAA1 in general, as I've said, where the game treats you like a moron who needs to be walked through every little thing.

And there's still a handle on that cat door in the anime cutscene, which I will never forgive. You made the lynchpin of your case the dumbest mcguffin bullshit imagineable, maybe the worst in AA history, and you couldn't even keep THAT straight without screwing it up.

I am pretty sure I could absolutely despise the answers to the mysteries and this would still be the better game, but we'll see.

The only thing that could flip me is if I have to suffer another fucking hour of dialog talking about stereoscopic images again. I DON'T NEED A MAGIC EYE PUZZLE TO SEE THAT ONE OF THESE PICTURES HAS A FUCKING HOLE IN THE DOOR, ASSHOLES.

Oh, and this has been at the back of my mind. I feel like I remember most of the talk from the fan translation players was that the first game was better than the second?? Would be very interested in what drugs they were taking. 2-4 and 2-5 would have to be the worst cases in the entire franchise for this to not be better than GAA1.

Done with 2-3. Just an astoundingly good case for a non finale, even felt finale like at times. Like its being haunted by the ghost of 2-3 past and had to prove itself, lol.

Great pacing, great investigation, great trial, great defendantOK witnesses on day 1, made up for by day 2. Tons of mysteries and intrigue laid out for the future, a constantly shifting solutions and answers to the mysteries of the murder that more often than not did not have obvious answers. Even the JURY was good, never saying shit when it didn't matter actually contributing at some points and being reasonable (other than the actual initiation of the summation examination...just ONE of those by the way).

And the MIRACLE of making Van Zieks very compelling, the man who had been the most nothing, repetitive, bar none worst prosecutor in AA up to this point. A fantastic cliffhanger, a FULLY VOICED AND ANIMATED 3D CUTSCENE?

Easily the best third case which has more weight than it used to. Will clarify that I have not played I2 for obvious reasons, and I do hear I2-3 is very good.

2-3, what I assume is right before the ending of the trial based on the music ramping.

It really feels like GAA1 is just the first half of one super long AA, game, complete with not exceeding any of the stakes of the first half of any AA game. Then GAA2 gets the unfair advantage of being like one big climax. Again, thus far, but I can't imagine things slowing down with cases 4 and 5 have those titles cards on the menu.

2-1 is just astoundingly better than 1-1, actually feels like a concise first case with a neat twist for the setup...and relies on the drawn out and at times frustrating 1-1 to have impact.

2-2 is basically 1-4 Part 2: Electric Boogaloo, and is MILES ahead of that dog shit case....but COMPLETELY relies on 1-4's terrible existence.

And then 2-3 so far feels like it's almost final case potential during this second investigation phase in in now, but I know we're just at the halfway point.

Quite the conundrum trying to split the games apart...

4-3 has some real dumb and repetitive shit in it but there's also some really neat stuff. I don't want to say it gets more hate than it deserves since it IS bad as a full package, but it's not just pure pain.

Compare to 2-3, which is so bad that the game can follow it up with 2-4 yet still be the worst game in the series.

If anything third case syndrome applies more to Danganronpa than Ace Attorney

Even Ultra Despair Girls couldn't escape it!

DRV3-3 gets more hate than it deserves but it's certainly the low point for that game. And DR1-3 and DR2-3 are indeed garbo.

3rd case syndrome is heavily overstated. Like, neither DD nor SoJ had a terrible 3rd case. In face, DD's is super good!

I've gotten the impression that FFXIV is the outlier here, having a continuous story matching and honestly exceeding any regular Final Fantasy game. Most MMO seem to only loosely continue the narrative from one expansion to the next, or in case like WoW (allegedly) retconning stuff left and right.

I don't think there's a single regular scene at Hexside in the entire second season. There's the thing with the principal and the thing they do out on the playfield, and that's basically one scene each.

And almost all the Hexside scenes in the first season are pretty important for setup to future events. There are definitely one or 2 duds, though.

My first time doing a raid as Monk was Syrcus and the tank attempting to main was clearly a WoW player who had just boosted.

I'm not talking a little spin, I'm talking full on 360 rotations and run throughs constantly changing directions.

I was livid at the absolute tanking atrocity I was having to deal with until someone else finally started force provoking aggro in every fight halfway through which he apparently did not know how to take back despite his best efforts.

spirits within as an oGCD and doesn't do anything for Requiescat (doesn't cancel the buff or anything), so I'm not sure why you'd want to drift for that.

I'll just go ahead and link this

https://xiv.sleepyshiba.com/pld/img/infobasic.png

OK so I think where I got lost here is that I don't have the trait for instant cast spells during Req yet, so I can't weave in SW or else I miss one of my 5 casts.

Looks like that won't be a problem at 80 though.
