I think one of the reasons E2-2 drags for me also is that it introduces SO MANY characters like, you have to meet Ray, then you meet Courtney and Sebastian, then you have to meet Simon, then all of the case-specific characters, and it's just... yeesh, there's SO MANY characters. It's kind of weird that E2-1 doesn't introduce you to any of them at all. Anyway, I actually kind of like the last investigation and the showdown with Roland though. I actually like Roland a fair bit, I think she's a fun opponent, and I REALLY like her motive for murder, even though they totally reverse course on it and just make her an evil fuckhead in E2-5, whatever. I actually like the larger casts of AAI2. I think some cases in the series suffer from not having enough characters, and the series in general draws such a hard line of not having bit players (probably far art asset reasons). By contrast you get cases like 6-3 where like... it wants to be this big, epic case (Leon's play time figures have it as the longest non-final case in the series IIRC?) but there are like almost no characters! You know that Be'leeb has to be involved in the crime because aside from Datz, who else is there? Cases always feel a bit meetier when there are more personalities at play - both because the list of potential suspects is longer and (and this part applies even when the culprit is obvious) the interplay of different agendas is a lot of fun to untangle. In the case of AAI2, while I don't think any of Ray, Courtney, or Sebastian are A+ characters, I liked watching them and figuring out what made them tick. In the specific case of E2-2: Frank, Elbird and Dogen all added to that setting and that case. (I'm kinda on board on hating Dogen's role in the overarching plot, but his E2-2 role of "criminal with connections outside the prison strong enough to threaten the warden" is cool.) Agreed that Roland would have been better if not for the E2-5 retcon. I do agree that she's reasonably fun. Leon: I don't really recall having any issues following her coverup myself but I'm a bit foggy on some of the details at this point so I'd have to replay the case to write a more detailed defence. Since I played/watched it more recently... I also didn't have any issues following the explanation of 6-2. It's totally ridiculously unbelievable! But not that hard to follow. --- The RPG Duelling League: www.rpgdl.com An unparalleled source for RPG information and discussion <cite>NeoElfboy posted [p:900362435] in Ace Attorn...
