| LeonhartFour 08/14/18 6:47:15 PM #197 | the problem with that is that 3-5's ending is meant to validate his feelings about Iris "You really are the person I always thought you were." the one he needed to get over was "Dahlia," and he did that Pink Sweater Phoenix is definitely an idiot, but he's also portrayed as discerning (even if he himself isn't totally self-aware about it). Also, I don't think Phoenix is completely ignoring her when she asks for the necklace back. He just doesn't think she's serious (and why should he? She gave him the thing, or so he thinks), and Iris isn't assertive/cold-hearted enough to just steal it from him. but regardless most fantasy romances perpetuate falsehoods about how relationships actually work so Phoenix/Iris certainly isn't unique in that regard --- |

| LeonhartFour 08/14/18 6:27:30 PM #193 | reading people's 6-5 theories is consistently entertaining because the possible permutations are seemingly endless there was one big 6-5 theory I came up with that I nailed (although I was right for the wrong reason but hey) but I was laughably wrong in other areas --- |
| Topic | Ace Attorney Topic Part 7: The Letting (Spoilers for AA1-6, AAI1-2) |
| LeonhartFour 08/14/18 5:54:35 PM #191 | also I like that the final testimony of 6-3 is about Tahrust accusing Maya of channeling Lady Kee'ra and Phoenix having to prove she couldn't have done it I like that SoJ really tried to take advantage of its unique setting to give you stuff you wouldn't otherwise be able to do --- |
| Topic | Ace Attorney Topic Part 7: The Letting (Spoilers for AA1-6, AAI1-2) |
| LeonhartFour 08/14/18 5:44:16 PM #190 | well I have no fans to appease and no Iris to speak of either but yeah the fact that they let Iris just disappear from the face of the earth means the series isn't really interested in writing any more romantic arcs for its major characters well they teased Apollo/Juniper in DD a bit I guess but that's about it --- |
| Topic | Ace Attorney Topic Part 7: The Letting (Spoilers for AA1-6, AAI1-2) |

| LeonhartFour 08/14/18 5:36:26 PM #186 | Eh, the Clay thing didn't really add anything other than an explanation for what was just a nervous tic in AJ. but yeah bring back Iris --- |
| Topic | Ace Attorney Topic Part 7: The Letting (Spoilers for AA1-6, AAI1-2) |
| LeonhartFour 08/14/18 5:31:52 PM #184 | Well, we've known Apollo was an orphan (or supposedly since his mother isn't actually dead) since AJ, so he kinda had a "tragic past" already. We just didn't know anything about why he wanted to be a lawyer, and SoJ finally filled in the blank. --- |
| Topic | Ace Attorney Topic Part 7: The Letting (Spoilers for AA1-6, AAI1-2) |
| LeonhartFour 08/14/18 5:11:36 PM #181 | 6-5 super good Giggsalot posted... it feels amusing and incongruous how little we know about Phoenix's childhood and family. is there anything at all besides the Butz class trial? we know he's an only child that's about it --- |
| Topic | Ace Attorney Topic Part 7: The Letting (Spoilers for AA1-6, AAI1-2) |
| LeonhartFour 08/14/18 4:40:34 PM #178 | I think it's weird that they talk about what the listening device recorded in the rebel hideout and they even send someone to retrieve the tape, but once that discussion is finished, it's completely forgotten about. I was curious about what was on that tape. --- |
| Topic | Ace Attorney Topic Part 7: The Letting (Spoilers for AA1-6, AAI1-2) |
| LeonhartFour 08/14/18 4:17:04 PM #177 | I like during Tahrust's first testimony, Phoenix looks over to ask Maya for advice, forgetting that she's in the middle of channeling at the moment. --- |
| Topic | Ace Attorney Topic Part 7: The Letting (Spoilers for AA1-6, AAI1-2) |

| LeonhartFour 08/13/18 7:03:45 PM #173 | no spiritual power as a medium but maybe it was the power of sheer rage or something that indomitable will, almost like an evil Phoenix --- |
| Topic | Ace Attorney Topic Part 7: The Letting (Spoilers for AA1-6, AAI1-2) |
| LeonhartFour 08/13/18 6:49:16 PM #171 | yeah that's the biggest inconsistency with the nature of spirit channeling in the series maybe Dahlia was just that powerful herself who knows she's technically a Fey too --- |
| Topic | Ace Attorney Topic Part 7: The Letting (Spoilers for AA1-6, AAI1-2) |
| LeonhartFour 08/13/18 5:46:19 PM #169 | it's honestly kind of awesome to see Maya so confident in her abilities here after how much she struggled in the OT and man Tahrust has some amazing animations --- |
| Topic | Ace Attorney Topic Part 7: The Letting (Spoilers for AA1-6, AAI1-2) |
| LeonhartFour 08/13/18 5:39:44 PM #168 | you know I feel like this Magatama of Parting would have been a useful thing to have back in 3-5 or that Spirit Severing Technique Morgan talked about (that may have been a blatant lie but who knows) --- |
| Topic | Ace Attorney Topic Part 7: The Letting (Spoilers for AA1-6, AAI1-2) |
| LeonhartFour 08/13/18 5:20:24 PM #167 | Maya channeling Tahrust is such a great moment. --- |
| Topic | Ace Attorney Topic Part 7: The Letting (Spoilers for AA1-6, AAI1-2) |
| LeonhartFour 08/13/18 4:32:16 PM #166 | Zeh'lot's Divination Seance might be the toughest one in the game, simply because you have the least to work with. It's pretty clever though. --- |

| LeonhartFour 08/11/18 8:34:37 PM #181 | GANON1025 posted... I don't think this chapel was mentioned or seen before. Seems weird for it to have been left out, if my memory is right. Nah, it's been in both episodes before this. --- |

| LeonhartFour 08/08/18 4:54:20 PM #156 | 6-3 Investigation Day 2 complete I like how Phoenix is banking on the Divination Seance to give him the ammo he needs to turn things around here, only for them to subvert it and not have Rayfa be able to do it at first during trial day 2. --- |
| Topic | Ace Attorney Topic Part 7: The Letting (Spoilers for AA1-6, AAI1-2) |
| LeonhartFour 08/08/18 4:10:08 PM #155 | It's interesting to note that you can see the orb that Datz gives you to get into the hideout in the background at Beh'leeb's house on the first day, and you can even examine it. When you go there on the second day, it's gone, which is your first big hint that she's a rebel, too. --- |
| Topic | Ace Attorney Topic Part 7: The Letting (Spoilers for AA1-6, AAI1-2) |
| LeonhartFour 08/08/18 1:35:59 AM #154 | yeah I don't know what to think of the contest this year because it's been so long and the last five years in gaming have been kinda unique it's also possible that it won't even matter because of rallies so who knows --- |
| Topic | Ace Attorney Topic Part 7: The Letting (Spoilers for AA1-6, AAI1-2) |
| LeonhartFour 08/08/18 1:25:48 AM #152 | Nah, I doubt anyone other than Phoenix can win a match from the series unless they end up pitted against ultra fodder. still it seems like that's what everyone wants to nominate this year so hey why not --- |
| Topic | Ace Attorney Topic Part 7: The Letting (Spoilers for AA1-6, AAI1-2) |
| LeonhartFour 08/08/18 12:29:59 AM #149 | All the stuff in Dhurke's hideout in 6-3 is super good, whether it's all the stuff you learn about Dhurke, Apollo, and Nahyuta, or Datz's Psyche-Lock. --- |

| Topic | Ace Attorney Topic Part 7: The Letting (Spoilers for AA1-6, AAI1-2) |
| LeonhartFour 08/07/18 5:22:16 PM #148 | I like how Phoenix and Rayfa's dynamic changes from day 1 to day 2. On day 1, Phoenix is basically walking on eggshells around her all day long. On day 2, he feels a bit more comfortable around her and even jokes around with her a little. He almost starts to look at her like a daughter, or at the very least, views her through the eyes of a father. Then Rayfa is much more willing to help him in his investigation, and she clearly feels sympathy for him and wishes he would just withdraw from the case to save himself. --- |
| Topic | Ace Attorney Topic Part 7: The Letting (Spoilers for AA1-6, AAI1-2) |
| LeonhartFour 08/07/18 1:05:59 AM #146 | to Edgeworth's credit he has never come in last place in a multi-way match but if we were to go for someone non-Phoenix I'd like to see us push Godot, Maya, or even Apollo --- |
| Topic | Ace Attorney Topic Part 7: The Letting (Spoilers for AA1-6, AAI1-2) |
| LeonhartFour 08/07/18 12:51:53 AM #144 | you know I just realized that Ace Attorney has had not one but two games since the last Character Battle I wonder if we should push to get a new character from the series in although I mean nobody but Phoenix will ever be that popular here so it might not be worth the effort --- |
| Topic | Ace Attorney Topic Part 7: The Letting (Spoilers for AA1-6, AAI1-2) |
| LeonhartFour 08/07/18 12:45:01 AM #143 | 6-3 trial day 1 complete Man, I can't help but feel bad for Phoenix. He does some darn good work completely destroying Datz's testimony to the point that he even admits that it was all one huge lie, but it only damages the case against Maya in the end (and he sees it coming once he figures out who A'nohn Ihmus TBD is). Also, I feel pretty confident in saying this is Nahyuta's best work, too. He comes up with several correct conclusions. He just attributes them to the wrong people. He figures out that the robe was placed over the warbaa'd statue to fool the Divination Seance, but he says that Maya was the one who did it rather than Tahrust. He also rightly concludes that only someone with access to the high priest's home could have left the warning letter, but again, he attributes it to Maya rather than to Zeh'lot. Nahyuta makes a very solid circumstantial case against Maya, especially once he accuses her of being the rebel hunter. --- |

| LeonhartFour 08/06/18 10:30:19 PM #142 | well we're a couple months away from 3-2 now --- |
| Topic | Ace Attorney Topic Part 7: The Letting (Spoilers for AA1-6, AAI1-2) |
| LeonhartFour 08/06/18 4:29:47 PM #138 | The high priest being a rebel is a great twist because it has a unique effectiveness in this particular setting. 6-3 day 1 is also the one time Nahyuta's supposed ability to foresee the direction a trial will go feels legit because he foreshadows that he already sees his path to victory shortly after the Divination Seance ends, and then he delivers on it. --- |
| Topic | Ace Attorney Topic Part 7: The Letting (Spoilers for AA1-6, AAI1-2) |
| LeonhartFour 08/06/18 3:56:13 PM #137 | I'm kinda confused as to why Phoenix would argue that Tahrust and Maya's positions were reversed based on the fact that he entered the spring instead of just arguing that he turned around and found a third party in the spring, which would be more beneficial to Maya's case (and closer to being accurate, at that). --- |
| Topic | Ace Attorney Topic Part 7: The Letting (Spoilers for AA1-6, AAI1-2) |
| LeonhartFour 08/06/18 3:25:55 PM #136 | Tahrust's Divination Seance might be the best one because he deliberately took measures to conceal what he was doing and fool everyone since he knew one would be performed that would show his last moments. --- |
| Topic | Ace Attorney Topic Part 7: The Letting (Spoilers for AA1-6, AAI1-2) |
| LeonhartFour 08/06/18 11:34:51 AM #135 | I think that's part of the appeal. The gimmick is totally unexpected, and they actually hold off on having her do it for the first time for a while, too. --- |

| LeonhartFour 08/05/18 10:25:56 PM #130 | Beh'leeb is so great the first time that she holds up Tahrust's picture and starts talking as him and switching pictures to change expressions is so unexpected that you can't help but be charmed by it --- |

| LeonhartFour 08/05/18 3:08:43 PM #129 | Phoenix: Don't tell me...you actually believe that the real lady Kee'ra returned to kill the high rpeist? Maya: ...........Don't be silly, Nick. Phoenix: Huh? Maya: Historical figures don't come back to life. I mean, give me a break. Phoenix: B-B-But! You were saying only yesterday, how it was more fun to believe that she's the real deal. Maya: Yeah, YESTERDAY! I wish I could keep on entertaining that fantasy, too, but the fact is, we're dealing with a murder here! Thus, my days of dreaming have come to an end. Phoenix: .......... Maya: I'm going to keep it real from now on. And you should, too, Nick. Phoenix: (I thought you said I was the boring one because I was "keeping it real...?") Maya: Sorry, I guess I've outgrown that stepladder argument we always have. Phoenix: I think you mean "ladder," Maya. This is one of my favorite conversations in the game. It shows how much Maya and her relationship with Phoenix have matured since the days of the OT. It also shows that they were both always "in" on the joke when they "argued" in the OT. --- |

| LeonhartFour 08/04/18 12:57:41 AM #122 | Teaming up Phoenix and Rayfa for 6-3 might be the smartest thing SoJ did (aside from letting Apollo take the lead for 6-5, that is). It gives Rayfa some much needed character development that she'd have been hard pressed to get elsewhere, and their dynamic is really unique. --- |
