Thinking more about it, does the game's ending even attempt to address any of the underlying corruption in the justice system? I don't believe anyone offers an answer to the problem that's been a major theme since the very start of the duology. Except for the killers, of course. Graydon, Menimemo, Green, Drebber, even Klint and Genshin, they all take the law into their own hands to seek retribution after the system has failed them. And of course we show them they are wrong- there are always innocents who suffer as collateral damage, and we see how a desire for revenge can consume people like Kazuma and Barok.

But if reaping is wrong, then what is the alternative? Stronghart being a selfish monster is kind of an easy way out to show the Reaper's path is mistaken, but he wasn't the cause of these problems. All of the issues endemic to the system predate Stronghart, it's why Klint takes action in the first place, and there's nothing to indicate they're going away now he's gone. Now I don't expect Ryunosuke to singlehandedly fix all of society's faults, but it's weird that our happy ending consists of us taking out the symptom, but not addressing the cause. What's going to stop the next McGilded from bribing jurors and falsifying evidence?

favorite tracks while your memory is fresh?

duology case rankings too ofc
No idea about case rankings for the second game, I'll need to think more on that.

The music is all great! I don't know the track names but I'm planning to go through the entire OST (so I can nominate one of them for VGMC). Off the top of my head, I love all of Kazuma's themes! Some others... the dance of deduction one, Jezaille Brett, Gregson, summation examination, The Professor, McGilded, and a couple of the trial ones I don't know how to describe. Case 3 in this game added a new gentle trial theme before shit goes down, and the last case added a bunch of new cool tracks. I will get back to you on this!

Another realisation I've had: there's only two juries in this game! And one of them was a rehash from the first game. Did juries not go down well in the fandom so they cut down on them? Or was there not enough budget to make loads more new characters? I really liked the jury mechanics :(
