A big score split here! Several people rated E1-4 pretty high, including those that don't typically like the other AAI cases. Other people rated E1-4 low, even lower than the other AAI cases. Yew is also a pretty divisive character herself. In the end, it lands right in the middle but still the top rated AAI case.
Summary:
After seven years Yatagarasu has returned, but why now, and what is he after? Edgeworth and all his allies come together to combat an international criminal, with not one murder but two to solve before the night is over.
Main Characters:
Miles Edgeworth, Dick Gumshoe, Franziska von Karma, Kay Faraday, Shi-Long Lang, Shih-na
Other Characters:
Manny Coachen, Colias Palaeno, Quercus Alba, Larry Butz, Wendy Oldbag, Ka-Shi Nou, Calisto Yew, Tyrell Badd
My Rating: 2.5/10. Oh man, this one is a headache to rate. There's some good ideas here. Shih-na is a really fun case to unravel with everything surrounding her arrest easily being the high point of AAI1 and is the only time that matches the energy of the main games. And then you get to the save and it says "Midpoint." What. And it's true, that's basically the midpoint of the case, even though you find the true culprit a few moments later because the case comes to a screeching halt with Alba. I don't hate the idea of a murderer that basically hides in plain sight but you can't catch him due to technicalities. It just...it's so long. And there's so many times where it's like "OK, there we go", but no, he just goes on and on.
Getting away from Alba, AAI1 feels really troll-y towards Edgeworth and it truly gets out of hand with Oldbag and Larry. I have no idea what to think about a hot dog being the key to the case.
