And oh my god it was terrible, horrible, boring, tiring and in general one of the worst cases in the series

-What was up with the detective coughing up blood? it was never explained. Just a red herring? maybe he is the Gumshoe of the game and will show up later and will be explained, but so far..meh

-YOU HAVE THREE WITNESSES LYING. Normally the witnesses are just confused. Or just one is lying. But making all the witnesses of the case turn out be lying? what the hell? if you can't true any of the witnesses for anything, those games would get nowhere
This never happened before in the series. Yes, there were some "the prosecutor told me not to talk about it!" but it was never to this extent

-Letting one person that was on the crime scene to leave without even body searching her or calling her as a witness? come on, really? don't excuse this with your "politics" bullshit I don't want to hear this

-There was a part that your mentor is having a mental breakdown for no reason and this is the most "out of character" for a Ace Attorney character...ever. There was no reason for a breakdown. Especially not for someone that was acting all cool and mighty up until now. Even Athena didn't break so easily

-"The Victim was already dead when he got burned! he must have died in other way!" how did you come to this conclusion?? what if after he died from the gunshot he got burned?? and then his hand fall?

-He died by poison? no from a gun shot? oh my god fuck off. What is this bullshit seriously? and don't give me this "in the west they are doing autopsy. Here we are doing post-mortem" excuse. I don't want to hear it. Previous Ace Attorney games autopsy records NEVER LIED. They might have hidden some facts but they never lied

-Poison unknown to Japan? uhhhh? I admit I am not an expert but was it really impossible to compare two water bottles and notice that one has different things in it and assume it's a poison? how long ago are we talking about that technology sucked so much?

-Also, couldn't they check for ballistic markings and see that the bullet was fired from another gun? oh yeah we are talking about 3000 years ago........

-The case is saved by a unrelated, random 3rd party that is giving you a trump card. People complain about Mia giving you the winning ticket for 1-2, but here it's worse. She just downright gave you "the murderer was researching poison" out of the blue

-"I remember blood on the plate" NOW you remember this? and since when is a memory a good way to move the plot forward?? especially when you just "remember" it when the case is about to be over?

-"I switched the plates" this was done just to make the case more complicated than it needs to be. They just made it long for no reason, this was as tiring as AAI-5

-The murderer motive wasn't explained. It was never even asked about. At the end, Naruhodo was thinking about it, but just for one line of text. I assume it will be explained later..but still, dumb

-How does having blood on the plate even confirms the killer identity? I am confused.

Most of my complaints comes from the fact this is "old Japan" and technology is not advanced yet so we the information we get is more flawed than usual
It might be a nice gimmick...but I can't accept that. It feels like they are lying to the player in the face and making those cases more complicated by cheap tactics
If you can't trust the witnesses and you can't trust the evidence, what is even the point?

Like imagine if they told you Cindy Stone died from head trauma and the murder weapon was The Thinker, but it wasn't really a autopsy, just some detective saw the crime scene and assumed so but for you it's a "fact"
Then turns out she died because she drank poisoned water (from a bottle Larry gave her) a few moments before but the police couldn't find it because it was a poison that America didn't know about
It's fucking dumb

This picture sums about my thoughts on this case perfectly-
