Did

The Queen just object

Ooohhhhhhh boy

Fucking lmao she turned into Hexadecimal
---

here we go
---

Alright, well great no Nahyuta

So, I mean, I'm guessing the Queen did it. Or had a hand in it. Cuz she just went from being snobby royal to Hexadecimal in the blink of an eye
Practically screaming "take me down"
---

I can't even look at her without laughing, this is absolutely ridiculous

That said her resting bitchface reminds me of someone but I can't put my finger on who. Some horrid woman from some show or other I imagine

Not Hexadecimal. But she does dress like Hexadecimal

Ah but how could she have done it if she was outside with you the whole time?

Hence why I added "had a hand in it"

Also idk magic

SUCH INSOLENCE

Alright I'm going to bed, that is quite enough absurdity for one night

HOLD IT!

If you are not on daylight saving time at the moment, the time would be an hour earlier, not later! Please explain this contradiction to the court!

In August and September I was 2 hours ahead of the UK.

Then the clocks in the UK went back. So I was 3 hours ahead.

Garan playing mind games

Raising the stakes

Apollo's a braver man than I
I'd totally abandon the defense

Not gonna lie, this one case did more to make me like Apollo as a character than the entirety of his first game and the majority of Dual Destinies combined.

We're reaching peak Japanese videogame writing

In the past 60 seconds I've seen [Name]........... about 245 times
---

Yes Apollo is really good in this game.
As for Ga'ran...well, you'll see. Impression of her spoilers She's disappointing as an enemy.

Also Nayna is great but I can't see how she'd be Apollo's mother. You remember that we met Apollo's mother in AJ right?
---

Damn

This is getting good. I love the way all the evidence ties together in these games, often in the weirdest ways. This thing about Inga having a recognition disorder was totally unexpected

Eh

Forgot that

I never played AJ, just read up on the plot before DD cuz everyone said it was shit

I actually did expect that because I played another game with Prosopagnosia as a plot point not long before I played SoJ, but without that I probably wouldn't expect it yeah

Ha

Apollo and Maya meeting and Maya's theme, cool

Y'know I'm glad the DLC case exists, because given this game was a lot about Maya's return she's been the defendant and a hostage

...I mean I guess that is Maya, but still not a lot of classic assistant Maya
---

OK yeah Nayna as Amara made a lot more sense

I like how she essentially did a Pokemon evolution from Nayna to Amara

That is exactly the game I was referring to, I just didn't want to say it because then people would know it's in that game

I laughed aloud at her summoning of Disney animals

Holy fuck
WHAT

Oh man oh man oh man

Poor Apollo

There it is

Doesn't this like
End the trial

That's Engarde hairflip metal detector tier btw
---

Yep, it's a top 5 moment at the very least, maybe top 3.

No it's fine everything's fine.

But like
The defendant is dead
So...
---

This is Khura'in

They do things a little differently

I mean, you still gotta figure out if he did it or not. Kind of a big deal. Besides, this is Khura'in, so spirit channeling is accepted as a possibility.

Oh, and due to the DCA, Apollo and Phoenix are basically defendants themselves I guess, and they're still alive to be punished if Dhurke really did do it

Anyway that was legitimately hard rending and I didn't see it coming

I've been shocked by PW before (Engarde, kind of Fulbright) and appreciated its genius before (metal detector) but never made so sad. So idk, might be the number 1 PW moment

Poor Apollo man
---

The hints are all there but very difficult to see it coming until they mention another victim. I just stopped playing for a minute or two and thought 'WTF are you serious' when I realized it

Also this individual trial day must be among the best too

Putting all the weight of a final-case murder into a single day made sure it kept a good pace throughout. Nothing seemed wasted or slow. It started tense and high-stakes and it just got higher and higher with no real downtime. Even 2-4, day 2 has you cross examining Powers at the start. 1-5 was interminable. 3-5 day 2 maybe. 1-4 day 3 maybe because of the fact that it was two cases. Idk though. This just started with Garan becoming Hexadecimal and then got more and more nuts.
---

Yeah

I was wondering what Amara's motive was

Goddamn bitch
---

Ohhh

God damn biiiitch

That said I can't be too upset about Nahyuta taking the fall

I'm sigging this BTW

Lmfao how many secrets can one royal family have exposed in one day

Utter lunacy
---

Oh duh

I didn't even think about being able to seance Apollo's (real) dad

God damn this trial day is absolutely insane
---

Oh hey Nahyuta waited until the tail end of the game to stop being a total waste of time
---

Aww baby Apollo

Also what the fuck now doing the case at gunpoint
---

Ooh yay time for the red line case endy thing

I love these
---

Aww

Phoenix giving Apollo that seal of approval like Mia did to him in 3-5
---

Kinda bummed the founder never got summoned

Also kinda bummed Edgeworth didn't do anything in the actual trial but that would have been too much (it was already too much)

That was great though. Really felt like they built the whole game around that case more than any of the previous games, possibly with the exception of T+T?

Well there's also Investigations 2 I guess, but I didn't like its final case nearly as much as Revolution
