I accidentally refreshed while typing stuff, so I lost my reactions to the first 5~ minutes of 6-2. I remember saying something about Trucy's magic panties.
Calling it now: Reus is the victim, Bonny is the killer's minion April May-style. I know this because the game drew attention to Reus but didn't show him with a model, which puts him in prime victim territory.
One of the weirdest differences between the real world and the Phoenix Wright world is anyone caring about stage magic. Like, this was a thing in prior games, too, like people caring enough to watch stage magic on TV. I know that's a weird thing to point out, but give me a break, 4-3 is built around the idea that everyone on Earth except Apollo cares about the sanctity of keeping magician tricks secret.
Reus is pronounced "Ree-is?" I thought it was "Ruse!" Like an illusionist pun! What a missed opportunity.
Athena just stabbed a prop coffin, guessing Reus is in it and that's how she'll be accused of murder.
Hahaha I knew it.
I refuse to believe Apollo could have entered this theater without walking to a location that reveals the cube isn't a cube.
Just once, I want a game or movie where the characters watch the news and it's an unrelated story that would be logical to talk about in-world but has nothing to do with the plot.
Man, this camerawork is atrocious, the cameraman needs to be fired. There are way too many closeups of the teenage girls and no wide shots to let us know what's going on.
So this officially means Pearl is the only teenage girl sidekick who hasn't been accused of a crime, right? I guess there's always AA7.
"Magical Girl Trucy Wright." True story: when I was like eighteen, my weeaboo friend David was trying to get me to watch some anime about a teenage girl magician, and I was like "so she's a magical girl," and he went off on a huge thing about how that label only applies to a specific type of character, and it no more applies to his anime than it does to Hermione from Harry Potter.
"It's a Gramarye motto that my daddy used to say before he passed away. It's one of the few precious memories I have of him." Well, I guess that's better than the memory of the time he tried to frame your adopted father for cheating in a poker game for literally no reason, failed, and responded by drunkenly beating up a waitress.
The game asks me to present evidence to Trucy when there are literally only two pieces of evidence in the court file. This'll be a tough one for sure.
Why would there even be a real sword involved here at all? Why not just use the rubber sword all the time? There had better be an actual reason given later, dammit.
"She's still just a kid, after all." Literally one year younger than Athena was last game.
I hope it's just a huge coincidence that Phoenix has an adventure in Khura'in at the same moment a Khura'inese prosecutor has an adventure in LA.
I mean, I have to assume Khura'inese prosecutorial methods are completely incompatible with the American legal system from what we saw, but okay.
The murderer has a very high chance of being Retinz just because Apollo established that the framer has to be someone at the show, and the game made a point of showing how Retinz reached the theater only after the show was cancelled, so that can easily come up later. Although, really, we all know that every case has around two suspects, and this one has more of a murdery face than the bunny girl.
It took me absolutely forever to find the fingerprints on the coffin.
