I didn't figure it out until I picked up the charm that was literally called "Kurain Master's Talisman," and I was just like, "oh I guess they expected me to have already known this"

I suspected it the instant the scroll was part of the case. Elise's mysterious background helped, too. I'm not normally one to figure stuff out before the reveal, but that one seemed really obvious to me.

That, and later, (LEGIT SPOILER) when they're all talking about how Maya must have died, and trying to figure out the whereabouts of other people, I was like, idiots, can't you see she's being possessed?

Idk guys, when I go into something, I don't expect or require all loose ends to be tied up by the end. It's nice when they are, but ultimately unnecessary for me as long as there's character development for me to enjoy. It's certainly more interesting that Elise is Misty, but I was open to anything.

Case 3-5 - Bridge to the Turnabout

We go a-wanderin to find out even more information today. Iris has Psyche Locks, Pearly has Psyche Locks, Gumshoe has a metal detector, and Edgeworth is still beating himself up over his earthquake DL-6 related trauma.

Talking with Sister Bikini reveals that the matter of Master of the Kurain Channeling Technique is a highly competitive process, usually but not always going to the eldest daughter of the main family. The remaining sisters form their own branch families, but theres usually tension for obvious reasons. In this case, Morgan Fey was the eldest daughter, but Misty Feys overwhelming power and skill at the Technique conferred on her the Master title. Morgan was always bitter about it - unbeknownst to us, Pearly is not an only child. Morgan had twin daughters, Iris and Dahlia, before her.

Morgan did not become the Master, and with Mistys shame and disappearance following DL-6, the marriage fell apart. When Morgans husband left, he took the twins with him. Iris was given up to Hazakura Temple to be raised, and Dahlia was raised as his own with a new wife and then step-sister Valerie.

We speak to Edgeworth, who has informed us that for her crimes, Dahlia was sentenced to death and executed last month. He thinks this removes Dahlia from the equation - but we know better. After all, the whole point of the Kurain Channeling Technique is to summon those from beyond the grave. We must poke around and see whodunit! Apparently Edgeworth took Gumshoe out for pasta, and we mildly chastise him for this - due to those salary cuts, the man eats enough noodles as it is.

Gumshoes in the courtyard, singing to himself [to the Victor Kudo theme from 3-3 Recipe for Turnabout, no less]. We talk to him and he lets us take a spin with his metal detector, as hes trying to find the actual murder weapon [the ceremonial sword aint it]. We find a sword embedded inside Mystic Elise/Mistys cane, and Gumshoe wants to get it tested by forensics. We urge him to hold off, depending on what is found, it could mean trouble for Maya. He gives us a half burned letter that was found in the incinerator near the Inner Temple. Gumshoe is just a dopey ray of sunshine in every single case. I dont know what it is - that beaming smile, the silly jokes, the personal anecdotes, the unflagging dedication [persistence over efficiency, but hey]. Gumshoes eyes sparkle as he describes the great pasta restaurant he went to with Edgeworth and offers to take me and Maya there when this is all over. I just love him, but get the man a raise, please.

Breaking Iriss Psyche Locks reveals that Bikini saw her at the Inner Temple, which means she was in two places at once because there were two of her. We present her with Dahlia, and despite her weak protests, we insist that someone channeled Dahlia that night! Iris indeed stayed by the Hazakura Temple, while Dahlia was at the Inner Temple. Iris didnt want to get in her way, since she botched helping with the fake kidnapping all those years ago, leading to consequences for Dahlia. They didnt do it for the money, Iris insists they did it to get revenge on their father.

We scoot on over to Heavenly Hall, where Larry insists misfits and losers gather. Hes cooking potatoes for himself and Pearl to eat. We finally break through Pearlys Psyche Locks, finding that the burned letter was from Morgan herself, instructing Pearl to channel Dahlia and let her do the rest. The gravy-slimed scroll is evidence that Pearly was doing her best despite not completely understanding what the letter asked of her - it said to gravely roast the scroll, and although she went over how to read the phrase with Elise/Misty, she hadnt learned the meaning of the phrase.

Tomorrow, were in court! Fun fact, the date span of this case includes my birthday.

See you then!

Case 3-5 - Bridge to the Turnabout

It has been a wild three months, friends and neighbors.

Yeah, I definitely mainlined this entire courtroom case because I couldnt drag it out for a couple more days. Once I started, it wasnt stopping. train horn

We apparently slung Misty Feys dead body over the chasm using one of the suspension cables from the currently burning bridge. This yeeting was the flying body that was mysteriously present in Laurice Deauxnim/Larry Butzs drawing of the burning bridge. We have been grilling Iris, or so we thought, until we realize it is actually Dahlia Hawthorne on the stand!!

Dahlia had this all planned out with Morgan in jail, thus the plans that Pearl was blindly trying to follow through on. Turns out Misty Fey channeled her before Pearl could, and got killed for it. As Dahlia suspects this was Mayas doing, she writes Mayas name in blood on the white lantern. At this point, were pretty sure that Maya is despairing about the loss of her mother, Dahlia capitalizes on this by telling us Maya threw herself into Eagle River.

Except, coming from the Inner Temple side, theres a large rocky bank, so instead of a splash, shed have made a splat. Maya writes a note and channels Mia, asking what she should do - she then manages to channel Dahlia. In the courtroom, Pearl is channeling Mia, who lets Dahlia really have it before Dahlia is forced to leave Mayas body and return to the hell of eternally being herself. Maya collapses, and after a brief recess, she comes to and is forced to testify.

Despite being exhausted and emotionally wrung dry, Maya also seems to be hiding something from us as she testifies - its pretty obvious to Phoenix that shes trying to protect someone. We push further and can tell that Mayas trying to protect Godot. One of the coolest moments in the case happens here, when Maya accidentally lets it slip that she saw red lights in the pitch black of that fateful night. We dig into the way the area was cleaned up - that weird rectangular shape of snow removed, but Maya written in blood remained as well as the Kurain Master charm, we realize that the person who cleaned it up likely cant see red.

Apparently, Godot, formerly known as Diego Armando, overheard the dastardly plot between Morgan and Dahlia, opened the now-burnt letter received by Pearl, and coordinated with Misty Fey in order to save Maya and [hopefully] Pearl. He admits that it all could have gone far more haywire than it did, and that he only did it to somehow atone for failing to protect Mia. As Diego, he had been poisoned by Dahlia Hawthorne, lost all color in his hair and most of his eyesight. He spent the next 5 years in a coma, during which time Mia was killed. This also explains Godots unforgiving attitude toward Phoenix Wright - he was eager to blame anyone but himself for what had happened, since he was convinced he could have protected her if he hadnt been poisoned.

A bloodied dagger from the incident in the garden is determined not to be the victims blood, since Godot hasnt had a chance to change clothes and his clothes are intact, we suspect the injury that night was covered by his mask. He cries blood, and we get our Not Guilty for Iris.

https://i.imgur.com/08KEJR0.jpg
[In other news, Larry's art is excellent and I am slightly jealous.]

Turns out there was a little treat stashed in the Kurain Master charm, which the Master must wear as long as she is alive - a little photo of young Mia repairing the Ami Fey vase while Maya sobs uncontrollably. Comforting to know that even though Pearl was so worried about breaking the vase, it had been done before, and almost certainly will be again.

https://i.imgur.com/WszIRth.jpg?1

Final Impressions:
A great time was had, there certainly were some cases which werent that great, but as they say - its 100 Floors of Frights, theyre not all gonna be winners.

Lots of memorable characters, and some that I became surprisingly attached to - Maya probably wasnt a big deal to me throughout most of this, but if we lost her during that last case, I would have been inconsolable. I truly was expecting Angel Starr in 1-5 Rise from the Ashes to be a bigger deal. There was something so suspicious yet innocuous about the Cough-Up Queen turning to selling bento lunches, plus the heterochromia [apparently colored contacts according to the devs].

Plenty of times, if you spent enough time digging around in the Court Record, youd know the information you needed to know before you were tested on it in the courtroom. This saved me a lot of time when witnesses would give faulty testimony, and I wouldnt have to throw everything at them systematically to see what would stick. I learned when to save [early and often] and started to think more accurately in-universe, following the tropes and details to their next logical conclusion. The only times I was very frustrated was when I was learning something new [Psyche Locks were a disaster the first time I tried them] or when I clearly didnt get the logic the storyline was going for.

Any other takes you wanna know, just ask! Im very glad I took the time to play this trilogy. Any recommendations on my next Ace Attorney game, aside from AAI? Let me know.

Favorite characters, in order:
  1. Dick Gumshoe - an overall friendly guy, pal!
  2. Miles Edgeworth - relatable content
  3. Mia Fey - admiration level: extreme
Least favorite characters, in order:
  1. Trilo Quist - super annoying
  2. Winston Payne - terrible, grating voice
  3. Ron DeLite - milquetoast in almost every possible way??


Overall Case Rankings:
  • 1-4 Turnabout Goodbyes: sad Edgeworth, dont forget DL-6
  • 1-2 Turnabout Sisters: Mia ded, sad Maya
  • 2-2 Reunion, and Turnabout: Ini Miney minie mo, catch a Morgan by the toe
  • 2-4 Farewell, My Turnabout: defendant heel turn wooo
  • 3-5 Bridge to the Turnabout: hey look, its Misty Fey, whoops
  • 1-5 Rise from the Ashes: I sure hope you like a giant Court Record
  • 3-4 Turnabout Beginnings: thats court, babeyyyy
  • 1-3 Turnabout Samurai: yeesh, TV is a toxic work environment
  • 3-2 The Stolen Turnabout: music swells MaskDeMasque
  • 3-3 Recipe for Turnabout: dont get the lunch special, its murder
  • 3-1 Turnabout Memories: some guys just cant hold their voltage
  • 2-1 The Lost Turnabout: bruh, this is bananas
  • 1-1 The First Turnabout: this sure is how you play this game
  • 2-3 Turnabout Big Top: eughhhh

2. AAI1

3. AAI2

Case 4-1 - Turnabout Trump

Characters Ive met:
Kristoph Gavin, star defense attorney
Apollo Justice, novice defense attorney and liability magnet
Phoenix Wright???, pianist, poker pro, and hobo who forgot to shave
Shadi Smith, victim
Winston Payne, prosecutor who now has long hair and I hate it
Olga Orly, waitress and poker dealer at the Borscht Bowl Club

Phoenix has apparently been playing poker professionally at the Borscht Bowl Club for the past 7 years and he hasnt lost once. One night, he plays Shadi Smith, and the man ends up bonked over the head by a grape juice bottle, Phoenixs upside-down fingerprints are all over the bottle, and he refuses to testify regarding the murder.

Olga Orly appears to be a shrinking violet of a witness who brings a bowl of borscht [this place is going to the dogs - remember when a cup of coffee was cause for Judges comments?] and a bunch of unhelpful lies to the stand.

This starts off as your typical learners case, Kristoph bringing the Court Record to your notice and asking you if you need a refresher course on cross-examining, then giving you half of one even if you answer no.

I am cool with Apollo, but theres nothing really endearing about him? I dont particularly care about him [and its entirely possible that Kristoph being super attractive is the reason]. Seeing Phoenix be a weird hobo who discusses the case with a certain evasive charm while he unironically wears a retina-searing PaPa knit hat was the part Im still recovering from.

Discussion question: A number of you said Godot was your favorite character. Why is that?

Well see how the case progresses tomorrow. See you then!

The tonal shift from OT Phoenix and AJ Phoenix is so abrupt and so unearned.

Like sure, people change over seven years but Nick's treatment in AJ is still the largest issue in a game with a number of issues. It's not just that he's "more serious" it's that he's more charming, mysterious, and cunning- which is like, not what the original guy is.

As Board 8's premier Godot fanboy... I dunno how well I can descrbine most of it. His arc at the end is of course fantastic; being haunted and driven by guilt to the point where he allows his girlfriend's mother to die because he was too determined to prove to himself that he could've saved Mia is the kind of character turmoil I really love. The ending of 3-5 and Diego's breaking of the coffee cup are my two favorite AA moments

I think in general he has this weird mix of mystery and melancholy that is very well-done, plus top-notch eccentric Ace Attorney humor with his gimmick and many of his quotes. His feud with Phoenix, who didn't even know him, managed to make his back story intriguing and gave him an implied depth that few characters get, and this buildup was fully justified and rewarded in the end. He's the complete package of a character

Case 4-1 - Turnabout Trump

We are funky and I hereby welcome you to funky town.

Olga Orly is not in fact a shrinking violet, but a professional card dealer and she was working with Shadi Smith to frame Phoenix Wright for cheating. They snuck a card on him but when it came time to investigate, the card was gone. Apparently Phoenix slipped it into a nearby grape juice bottle. [Wonder if this was originally wine but we had to change it??]

Phoenix pins the whole thing on Kristoph Gavin, saying he had dined with him prior to the poker game, and called him directly following the incident, meaning he was aware of the situation and therefore the fourth person in the room.

Idk, this smells weird to me. We shall see what occurs tomorrow in court. See you then!

I think it was also grape juice and that's just a running gag in the series. The target CERO game rating in Japan for Ace Attorney games is actually stricter on alcohol references than the ESRB rating used in North America. I would link the source but it also talks about Ace Attorney stuff from far later in the series.

Case 4-1 - Turnabout Trump

Kristoph had used a SECRET TUNNEL! The cupboard in the room covers it, when Olga was out cold and Phoenix had gone upstairs, he moved the cupboard and cracked Mr Smith over the head, killing him. We were able to pin it on him by getting a blood-spattered ace of spades card from a little magical girl in the lobby who Phoenix claims is his daughter.

That was a fake card, but it got us a real reaction from Kristoph Gavin, clinching the win and a Not Guilty for Phoenix. Apollo is obviously out of luck working for Gavins law office, as he watches his boss being led away in cuffs. Apollo immediately starts investigating his chances of working for Wright.

I do like the gameplay of this case, where things go 3D and you are able to move furniture, etc. to see what really happened. It was a lot richer than most #-1 learner/refresher cases.

There was a weird part at the end where Phoenix corrects Apollo, who says Phoenix claimed the locket was his. He says something like, I never said it was mine. I said it was a locket with my daughters photo inside. Which is true. Get OUT of here! What happened to Phoenix 7 years ago? In that time, he lost his attorney badge and gained a daughter with a CLAMP style wardrobe? How is his attitude closer to that of MvK rather than the lovable defense lawyer I just left back in 3-5??

I have scads more questions than answers. See you tomorrow for 4-2!

Hoo boy do I hate this game. Its like a goofy kids game that spent 90 days in a warehouse with the original trilogy, not long enough to start to resemble the actual trilogy, just long enough to think it belongs there.

I got a lot going on this week. Cant guarantee I can update daily, but Ill do my best to do so every other day.

Idk, I found Trucys panties and I figured out the car that hit Phoenix Wright is parked at the Meraktis Clinic next to Mr Eldoons shabby shack. Apparently the clinic does a lot of work for shady folks connected with the Kitaki crime family - theyre currently being investigated by the police.

I found Mr Eldoons noodle cart in the People Park across from the Kitaki mansion, but Det. Ema Skye wont let me near it for the time being.

Lots of characters are new, which is normal for Ace Attorney, but they seem a little try-hard this time around. Characters like Maya and Pearl were heartwarming and thoroughly enjoyable. These days I find myself rolling my eyes. Well see!

If you say so! Once I'm done poking around this town for a handful of odd jobs, I'm sure I'll like it better.

Case 4-2 - Turnabout Corner

Characters Ive met:
Wocky Kitaki, the Kitaki bosss son
Winfred Big Wins Kitaki, the Kitaki crime familys boss

I ended up talking to Phoenix Wright, and he pointed me towards the location of aluminum fingerprinting dust in Wright Anything Agency [formerly known as Wright Law & Co., formerly known as Wright Talent Agency]. I show this to Det. Ema Skye and she is filled with fond memories and is reminded of her passion for scientific forensic investigation. We use it on a knife/shiv that we find in People Park near the recreated crime scene involving Mr Eldoons noodle cart. The weapons prints match Wocky Kitaki, so we figure we should circle back to the Detention Center and offer our services.

When we arrive, however, Wocky and his dad are having it out - Wocky wants to serve hard time to prove his street cred because hes such a gangster...Winfred Big Wins Kitaki is having none of his kid getting locked up. He tells us to take good care of Wocky. Big Wins is wearing a cute kitchen apron and has the face of Marlon Brando circa Godfather era. Lets just hope we dont screw this up - we dont want him saying, Look how they massacred my boy.

We are all squared away for the trial tomorrow - except we havent had a chance to talk to the defendant! Oh well. Time will tell.

Case 4-2 - Turnabout Corner

Characters Ive met:
Klavier Gavin, prosecutor and international rock star, same face as brother Kristoph Gavin

Our day in Court has arrived - no real prep made aside from all that running around we did the day before, and little more than a variety of odds and ends in the Court Record to show for it.

First, we talk to Wocky, who has it all wacky, honestly. He keeps insisting that he should do time in the pen, which makes Apollo sweat and Klavier smirk. We finally get him off the stand, only to replace him with some bookish weirdo named Wesley Stickler. This guy is very prim and proper but ultimately milquetoast, we break up some of the contradictions in his testimony and then, suddenly, without warning, Trucy is being held hostage in the courtroom! The perp demands a 20 minute recess, immediately! The Judge agrees! The criminal kidnapper disappeared nearly as soon as he arrived. I am super excited to be rid of Trucy. Go kidnapper, go!

See you tomorrow with more!

Case 4-2 - Turnabout Corner

Characters Ive met:
Mr Hat, a rigged mannequin stored under Trucys hat
Wesley Stickler, a student

We meet with Trucy in the defense lobby.

Sadly, she wasnt kidnapped or actually in any real danger. I was seriously disappointed by this. Instead, theres a rig in her hat that can become a separate being known as Mr Hat. :| We handwave this with the Judge once we return to the courtroom, and continue our cross-examination.

Mr Stickler tells us some weird testimonies that we then have to pick through, but we do discover Apollos unique Perceive function, which allows him to zero in on peculiar nervous motions made by witnesses to point out contradictions!

We find that not only was Mr Stickler standing across from where he previously testified, but he is in all likelihood the panty snatcher!

I dont know if I can take much more of this. We do need more investigation, so here we go again! See you soon!
