| LeonhartFour 04/11/17 1:39:13 AM #322: | Fulbright tries to claim that he's not the Phantom, but he's been working for him because his family held him hostage. Blackquill pulls off his best instance of psychological manipulation by pretending to believe Fulbright to get him to express his emotions (or lack thereof), and Athena picks up on it. We get a couple of excellent Mood Matrices (I guess that would be the plural): One where nothing registers and then one where everything registers, which is super cool-looking and mind-blowing the first time through. I am proud to say that I got that one right on the first try, too! We get one final testimony from Fulbright when Phoenix accuses him of being afraid of the moon rock, and he conjectures that he must've gotten blood on it when Athena stabbed him. By the way, when Fulbright clinches his fist, you can see a mark on his hand that looks like the symbol in the Ace Attorney logo, but in reality, it's probably a scar from where Athena stabbed him. What's with the big bads having weird scars on their hands anyway? It's better than THE DEVIL, at least! Finally, all the masks start coming off. I still love it when he pulls off the Fulbright mask to reveal Starbuck underneath. It makes me laugh so hard because it's an excellent misdirection because it makes absolutely no sense for the Phantom to be Starbuck, so you wonder where they're going with this until you realize that's just a mask, too. A lot of people dislike this last stretch where he starts pulling off all these masks, but it doesn't bother me. I like when they start talking about what kind of person he is deep down, and Blackquill says, "What do you see when you look in the mirror? Not much, I'd wager." Then there's a great moment when he objects to Phoenix in his voice, and Apollo goes, "...Mr. Wright, did you just object to yourself?" The final piece of evidence is Athena's earring, so you can prove that the moon rock fragment they found the Phantom's blood on is the same as the moon rock from seven years before. I love the triple point by all three attorneys at the end before the breakdown and the BOOM HEADSHOT! Well, I guess it wasn't a headshot because he survived, but still. Phoenix and Edgeworth have some cool exchanges after the trial. Edgeworth says he owes Phoenix yet another debt of gratitude, but he replies that he's done his part because he knows he helped him get his badge back, so that's cool. Phoenix also says he should look happy for a change, and Edgeworth's reply is, "So you're saying I should smile more? ...I'll think about it." They missed a great chance to use Godot's classic line, "The only time a lawyer can cry is when it's all over" when Athena cries at the end, but oh well. It's all good! 5-5 still a top tier case! 5-5 investigation day 1 playtime: 2:02:41 5-5 trial day 1 playtime: 4:13:24 5-5 in-game trial total: 6 hours, 1 minute 5-5 total playtime: 6:16:05 E2-5 - 9:36:06 3-5 - 9:35:46 2-4 - 9:05:21 1-5 - 8:46:43 E1-5 - 8:42:23 E2-3 - 8:09:06 E2-2 - 7:29:23 5-2 - 7:13:40 5-3 - 6:50:24 4-4 - 6:38:01 5-5 - 6:16:05 3-2 - 6:02:56 E2-4 - 6:01:14 4-3 - 5:58:33 3-3 - 5:48:31 2-3 - 5:06:33 1-4 - 4:59:52 4-2 - 4:58:35 E1-4 - 4:58:26 2-2 - 4:47:40 5-4 - 4:27:31 E1-3 - 4:02:16 1-3 - 3:49:35 E2-1 - 3:36:32 E1-2 - 3:15:49 1-2 - 2:40:40 5-1 - 2:19:33 4-1 - 2:11:44 3-4 - 1:54:15 E1-1 - 1:44:51 3-1 - 1:43:09 2-1 - 1:15:57 4-0 - 1:09:44 1-1 - 0:33:35 5-5 takes the title for longest trial day and longest single day from 3-5 day 2! 5-4 and 5-5 would be the longest case by an hour if you want to be one of those who combines them! Probably where 6-5 ends up! Oh right, the credits lasted for 10 minutes, 15 seconds if you want to clip that off of the overall run time there. DD definitely has the best ending theme, for the record. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
