Okay now I get to ramble a bit about this and 5-4. The biggest problem I have with this case and the previous one is actually Aura Blackquill.

Specifically, that she's maybe the best new character to come out of Apollo Justice Trilogy. She commands every scene she's in right from her introduction. She fits the theme of the dark age of law as a person with no connection to the law completely broken by the terrible system screwing her over about as hard as possible into doing something awful out of sheer desperation to save an innocent family member, and she is the perfect villain for this chapter in the story. She even gets a fantastic Bad End, and she corrupts Apollo over to her side, which isn't even the 'bad' side, just a misguided one to show how Apollo is just as broken as she is. Aura is the standout star of Dual Destinies, not Athena, or Simon, or Phoenix.

...And then she disappears about 75% of the way through this case to make way for the real villain, the Phantom, whom...I kinda wish they had done something like introduce Fulbright's family at some point to make it cut deeper. Going from the very personal grudge of Aura to the extremely impersonal Phantom feels like a step down, and this drags down the 5-4 ending to me by making the attempts to frame Athena feel like...just doing it for the sake of doing it instead of some truly wicked plot.

Of course, despite my criticisms, that I give this case an 9/10 should say all it has to about how fantastic of a 'villain' Aura Blackquill is. She carries this case as far as the story will let her, and I hope that if the next Ace Attorney Trilogy (if it happens) has Athena in more of a leading role that we get Aura back, in all her damaged, bitter glory.

4/10. This doesn't feel like a full case, and while that's intentional, I have to judge it on what it is, and that hurts it a lot in my book, despite liking most of the pieces of it.

Especially...well, we'll get to 5-5.

Nidos, Tentacruel, Arbok? that alone wins this, even if it is cursed by also having almost All the Grass Pokemon

I don't come here to talk about anime, so we should ban all discussion of anime.

This is a case where it's less than the sum of its parts.

What if instead of barca-atletico we just eliminate all of spain

Boil it, mash it, stick it in a stew

When you think about it, smfffc has trading, and trade and how allowed it should be is politics, so smffffc should be banned.

Not to mention the environmentalist message of ff7...

It is a dry, bland meat.

Morrowind came out and was the warning sign Final Fantasy needed to figure things out fast or be left in the dust.

Then Oblivion happened years before Final Fantasy figured anything out.

Then Skyrim happened and Final Fantasy still hadn't figured anything out.

XIV-excluded, of course.

Best case in the game, but...that's mostly because of Badd and Young Franziska/Edgeworth banter.

This one sets the trend of the major flaw of the game, that everyone is very stupid.

The second court day is the most uninteresting court day in the series since 1-1, and 1-1 at least has being the first case in the series going for it, and Cinder Block.

And honestly the Lamiroir stuff is the actual worst part of this case regarding the entire Gramarye (and Wright) family, not the 4-0 stuff.
