Also, I enjoy reading the protagonist's dialogue aloud for story-driven games, so I've been reading Naruhodo's dialogue with a (hopefully passable) British accent. --- |

That's what happens when they split the plot across two games, haha Yeah, the plot was meant not to be resolved in a single game, so the pacing probably feels a bit strange as a result. It was actually originally meant to be a trilogy, but apparently the first game did so poorly in Japan that it got shortened to two. --- |

| Topic | great ace attorney playthrough topic |
| LeonhartFour 08/01/21 4:45:00 AM #71 | Yeah, it kinda gets sacrificed on the altar of the greater narrative, and the series generally doesn't do that. Probably the closest you get to it otherwise is 3-4 or 5-4, but it feels like Takumi's trying to write a Sherlock Holmes novel and the mystery has to keep thickening until the end. And I'm with you on generally hating the jury. Takumi bewilders me with what he thinks a jury is across two different games (well, three, I guess). I do love the Summation Examination music though. So good. --- |
| Topic | great ace attorney playthrough topic |
| LeonhartFour 08/01/21 4:33:38 AM #69 | Yeah, I totally get if someone doesn't enjoy it. Cases 2 and 3 do kinda feel like Takumi's yanking your chain if you're a fan of the series, or he's just trying a bit too hard to be different. I appreciate the effort at times, but it doesn't always work. --- |

| Topic | great ace attorney playthrough topic |
| LeonhartFour 08/01/21 4:19:16 AM #67 | I loved case 3 because it subverts your expectations in pretty interesting ways. They present Van Zieks as this Grim Reaper type dude. He even looks like Miles Edgeworth cosplaying as Manfred von Karma (there was a part of me immediately wondering if he's von Karma's ancestor), but he doesn't feel like a bad guy by the end of it to me. He's almost like Blackquill in that regard to me. On the other hand, you're used to getting good defendants, and in the couple of occasions you do have to defend a guilty dude, you get to nail them in the end. Instead, he gets away with it in a super sketchy way, and like you said, Susato doesn't seem to mind. It feels inherently unsatisfying if you're a veteran Ace Attorney fan because it isn't supposed to go like this, but it was a super memorable experience for me. --- |

| Topic | great ace attorney playthrough topic |
| LeonhartFour 07/31/21 11:11:08 PM #61 | Yeah, I think they put more effort into establishing the jury system than they do with Van Zieks at the beginning, which is probably necessary because it's a big change from how the series normally does trials. --- |

| LeonhartFour 07/31/21 10:54:59 PM #45 | Well, I think it's a bit different for sports that matter outside the Olympics, like boxing. Being the heavyweight champ is more important than being a gold medalist boxer. Same thing for something like basketball. Carmelo Anthony has won gold medals for Team USA, but it's barely a factor for most people when judging how good he has been as a player. --- |

| LeonhartFour 07/31/21 9:40:29 PM #400 | Yeah, that's why some people surmise that it'd be a 64-team coalition because they could just run their own March Madness every year, and every team gets in. But there's no way Duke or Kansas is involved in something like that because it's based on football and they bring nothing to the table in that regard. UNC, Kentucky, and Louisville could maybe get a pass. --- |

| LeonhartFour 07/31/21 9:25:26 PM #394 | Dr_Football posted... Leon do you have an opinion (or care whatsoever) on how the New and Improved SEC does their divisions or pods? I'd be fine with realigning the divisions by geography, which would basically just move Alabama and Auburn to the East and put OU and Texas in the West in their place. I also do enjoy the potential hilarity of them trying to maintain the current East/West breakdown and throwing OU or Texas in the East for no rhyme or reason. I'd be cool with an annual UT/UT game! Honestly, if they moved Auburn and Alabama over, they could get rid of the permanent cross-divisional game (since Tennessee/Alabama and Georgia/Auburn would play every year now as part of East divisional play, and those are the only two that actually matter). That would mean getting to play the other teams in the West more regularly. That's the one thing I kinda hate about the way it is now (in addition to Tennessee being the only East team that has to play Alabama every year, which is a huge disadvantage). We only play all the other West teams once every 6 years (and that would become every 7 years if they don't change anything). Of course, they'd have to expand conference play to 9 games instead of the current 8 to avoid that, too, which means the big programs probably schedule more cupcakes out of conference to balance things out. Naturally, it becomes harder to play everyone the bigger your conference gets, but I like getting to play the other West teams more often. I am low-key kinda nervous about these rumors about there eventually being this coalition of 40-60ish high profile college programs and everyone else getting kicked to the curb because Tennessee has barely been relevant in the last decade (we haven't even played in the SEC Championship game since 2008) and I'd be worried we'd get left out. I just hope Tennessee's history (we're still the 12th winningest program ever and have the third most bowl appearances ever despite the decade plus of mediocre or bad football) would allow us to get included, even if it means we'd be a punching bag at first (unless Heupel turns out to be the real deal, fingers crossed!). --- |

| LeonhartFour 07/30/21 8:39:05 PM #382 | I have returned. I am now playing Great Ace Attorney. I've created a separate playthrough topic for my own purposes, but I'll still post some tidbits about it in here, too. --- |
| Topic | Leonhart Plays The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles (Spoilers) |
| LeonhartFour 07/30/21 8:36:03 PM #1 | This will be a bit of a different playthrough since I've already seen LPs of both games. I didn't think we'd ever get them, so I went ahead and watched them since I wanted to know how they went, story-wise. However, I won't openly spoil beyond where I am in the game, so for you newbies, you can follow without fear in that regard. I enjoyed my experience with them so much that they inspired me to read all the Sherlock Holmes stories, and it really kickstarted my mystery genre fandom. Anyway, the main reason I'm doing a separate topic instead of just posting in the SELF topic like I normally would is that I plan to do line counts and time stats for these games, and I know some of the people who'd be interested in that don't follow that topic (to my knowledge). If you're not familiar with it, I played through the series a few years ago and kept track of how many lines of dialogue are in each case to see which case was the biggest in that regard, and then I played through again and personally timed how long each case was to see which one took me the most time to beat. I've saved all that info on Google Docs if you want to check them out. Time stats: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qSdmjcbQjG_QPBFylHNgk7oVXRbsSjDetdO8w7Ygh8k Line counts: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sBPDmATQERIv7R3VvvXx43DRJZNOwnSwmLkZhfWLqSc So the plan here is for me to play through once and do line counts, and then immediately replay it to do time stats (since the goal is to time it based on just going straight through and not getting stuck anywhere along the way). I'll update the numbers each time I finish a case. Oh right, one "line" of dialogue is just one uninterrupted speech by the same character, regardless of the number of text boxes it takes. I do intend to give my thoughts on the cases, the characters, and all that, too, but this is my primary motivator. So here we go. --- |
