I don't really get why they didn't just make Gregory a bit older. He's pretty close to my age and I can't imagine anyone my age saying something like that. And he doesn't even have the excuse of living in a fantasy setting like many video game characters - AA is basically supposed to be a (zany) take on our world.

E2-3 Middle complete
Gregory had a small advantage over Miles in line count in that segment. The past portion of E2-3 took up approximately 1700 lines (didn't get an exact count because it didn't occur to me to try to count the line totals between the two at first). also Miles isn't even top 3 in line count at this point in the case I feel very confident he'll be #1 by the end now that I know how many he needs to pass Gregory --- ...

I love the little conversation Kay has with Delicia where she explains how to use all her British exclamations like "Oi!" and "Yessie!" and "Fie!" and she tries to use it on Edgeworth, only for him to tell her to be more serious. Then she drops her head and says, "Yessie..." It's such a great close to that bit.

Miles finally passed Gregory in line count. I think the final tally will be a little closer than I expected, although I'm not totally sure how close to the end we are. Gustavia's about to show up, but I don't think his part in the case is super long. He has a rather lengthy Logic Chess, but he's pretty quick to admit to all his crimes so you don't have to spend a lot of time proving any of that.

You know, I like the fact that Gustavia actually did care about having the title of the World's Greatest Pastry Chef instead of it just being a cover for getting the Angel's Recipe like it was for Dover and Delicia. It gives his character a little more nuance.

Kate's plan to catch the killer was pretty great I can get behind this Kate hype. I also like Jeff quite a lot even though he's minor. Damn, you feel for him. It's great bringing the truth to light so you can clear his name. It's interesting that you say E2-3 isn't an epic case since... I dunno that I agree? It's certainly long enough to be one. It connects to a previous case in the past like most of them do. It's got lots of characters and high stakes (in the good way). The biggest argument for it not being an epic case (besides not being the last case in the game I guess) is usually the rival figure is important in those and it's actually Sebastian/Courtney's most deletable appearances, although AAI2 is oddly structured in that regard - Courtney's big moment is in case 4. --- The RPG Duelling League: www.rpgdl.com An unparalleled source for RPG information and discussion ...

depends on what you consider an epic case to be (and it's more than length because every case in AAI2 is probably longer than it needs to be)
E2-3 is certainly not what the entire game has built up to. It's honestly fanservice more than anything just because you get to delve into what led up to DL-6, get some background on Gregory and his final case, and get to square off with von Karma again. E2-3 ultimately doesn't resolve anything meaningful in the present either. It's mostly cleaning up the mess left behind in the past by Gregory's untimely death. It's more of a launching point into many of the game's larger themes than it is any sort of destination or resolution. It's extremely satisfying and emotionally powerful. It's also AAI2's best case, but it's not an epic case. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

transience 05/06/18 11:27:30 PM #225: |
I go both ways on that. E2-3 is presented like an epic case with the time jump and Miles finishing what Gregory couldn't. I think it even plays into the canon in a way that nothing else in that game does. I think E2-3 is closer to an epic case than any other mid-game case for sure.

well both AAI games in general are pretty insignificant to the overall canon but they were kind of designed to be self-contained
E2-3 is probably the most "important" case to the overall canon because it's the only one that's really not self-contained AA in general started going in pretty hard on 3rd cases starting with AAI2. 5-3, 6-3, and DGS's 3rd case (also the best case in that game) are all monster cases. Heck, same thing with L-3, too. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

depends on what you consider an epic case to be (and it's more than length because every case in AAI2 is probably longer than it needs to be) I don't know what I consider to be an epic case really... the part about the rest of the game not building up to it is of course totally fair, and if that's your criteria then I 100% agree with you. I know I've seen people call 1-5 an epic case when of course it's absolutely not built up to at all, and feel that any definition that makes 1-5 an epic case would apply to E2-3 as well. Regarding the more recent case 3's... 5-3 isn't really a monster case at all (it's longer than earlier game's case 3's because everything is these days, but it's shorter than 5-2!). 6-3 is a monster in the sense that is indeed long, but it doesn't have that epic feel in part because it has so few characters, but also because it is obviously building towards something else (e.g. Datz's stuff in the hideout isn't really relevant to 6-3, but is very relevant to 6-5 / the game as a whole). The showdown with Gustavia feels like a pretty big culmination of previous events in a way that those with Means / Tahrust / any other case 3 villain doesn't, even though like them he's introduced in that case. (Re that showdown since you're getting there, I kinda wish the game didn't telegraph the statute of limitations extensions as hard as it did. Not sure how better to do it, but it fell a bit flat for me, which is a shame because I really like the case overall.) --- The RPG Duelling League: www.rpgdl.com An unparalleled source for RPG information and discussion ...

Well, I'm not talking monster necessarily in terms of size. It's just a case the game goes big on in terms of content. In the OT, AJ, and AAI1, the third case is lighthearted and generally kinda independent/disconnected from the rest of the game. Since then, third cases have generally been pretty important and more serious. 5-3 is probably the most lighthearted of the bunch, but it also pushes DARK AGE OF THE LAW harder than any other case in the game.
1-5 is a weird situation simply because it came along so much later than the rest of the game and doesn't totally fit as a result, but it feels like a follow-up to 1-4 more than anything, at least when it comes to Edgeworth. It's like an epic case sequel. I don't know that E2-3 pushed the statute of limitations thing "hard." They drop it in about as casually in passing as they can without any sense of how it's going to come into play at the time (it actually first comes up in relation to Kate stealing Dover's body and how the statute of limitations for theft is only 7 years), but you also know it's not going to be added into evidence unless it's going to matter, just like the evidence law thing in 1-5. Plus, from 1-4, you already know that the statute of limitations on murder is 15 years and E2-3 is directly connected to it. I don't know how you could've integrated it into the case and have it be a "surprise" like you could with the metal detector. Besides, the fact that E2-3 having the statute of limitations be involved allows Gustavia to act more "freely" and openly as a villain, which makes him feel unique as a result. You spend relatively little time in the showdown proving he did it and most of the time trying to find a way to nail him on it, with the added twist of the conundrum at the end that proving Master's innocence means Gustavia goes free anyway. It's another one of those legal/moral quandaries that AAI2 is good at. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

5-3 doesn't fit any criteria of an epic case. it's the definition of filler. none of the characters carry forward besides Juniper who was already in 5-1. it might tie into the theme of the game but not enough to matter. you could pull that case from the game and it would still function as a whole.

I mean I'm not trying to argue it's an epic case
I've been arguing they're not epic cases just because they're large productions. I'm just saying that AA likes to make third cases a big spectacle nowadays. 5-3 is kind of a blend of the old third case style and the new third case style. It's pretty silly most of the way through until Means transforms and it becomes pretty serious business for a while. It establishes DD's themes pretty solidly though, much like E2-3 does. --- ...

E2-3 is the closest to epic-case of a non-epic case i think due to its canon tie-ins. (here i'm considering E2-4 to be epic)
it's a good point that it's really only 1-5's position at the end of a game that makes it particularly more 'epic' than E2-3. anyway, love the kate and gustavia love here. there are really mediocre parts of E2-3 but it sticks the landing so well. --- yet all sailors of all sorts are more or less capricious and unreliable - they live in the varying outer weather, and they inhale its fickleness ...

I love Ray's reaction when Gustavia reveals he was in Zheng Fa for exactly three years. His nervous animation pops up (one of the few times you actually see him sweat) and he says, "L-Let's calmly think this over." It's one of the rare genuine reactions from him in the game. He keeps himself pretty closely guarded like Edgeworth does, albeit by using humor as his defense mechanism instead. It's always great when you see a character like Ray lower his guard for a second.
Also, I'm glad they let Ray be the one to deliver the big line before Gustavia's breakdown. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Edgeworth's pretty great at the end here. Even as Courtney tells him that he'll need to appear before the P.I.C. because of what happened, he says, "Regardless of the outcome, I will never regret what I did here today." Then, even though he never actually gets the chance to, I like that he realizes that Larry was helpful to the case's outcome and he should try to express his gratitude to him. It's those little changes to Edgeworth's character that I really like about him in AAI2.

I guess I'll slowly work my way through it to give my thoughts on their voice actor choices and lament over 2-4's adaptation again --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

since AAI2 is one of the games I'm least familiar with, I think my character rankings are still pretty fluid here (might still be the case with SoJ too since I've only played it twice back to back as soon as the game came out)
I think my opinion of Roland has actually improved a bit after E2-2 because she was better at the end than I remembered, but we'll see if E2-5 drags her back down. Conversely, I think my opinion of Courtney has dropped a bit because she's kind of annoying as an opponent. The case always bogs down whenever she shows up. I think part of it is because I'm not sure if she actually means anything she says or if she's just "testing" Edgeworth, but her logic is often kinda bad (not the Sebastian kind of bad, but in the "the burden of proof is always with you and never with me so I can just say whatever I want without consequence" way some AA rivals can be). We'll see if E2-4 brings her back up though. I think I might bump Ray up a little bit because I had forgotten just how good he was in E2-3, but I don't think he's all that good in the last two cases, so we'll see. The important characters in AAI2 seem kind of inconsistent in general, I think. Blaise and Dogen have been firmly confirmed as boring and one-dimensional characters though. --- ...

Courtney's all about E2-4 and you've always given the impression that your big problem with Roland was e2-5 so I don't think a lot is going to change there.

I rank Courtney about where I rank Lang, i.e. lower-middle as far as rival figures go. Both have some style and a cool moment in the main plot but I find both sometimes annoying as opponents, because they come across as stupid/bullheaded at points (some of that's to draw a contrast with Edgeworth, of course). With Courtney there's the excuse of "well it's all a game to make the P.I.C. believe she's serious" but I'm not really a big fan of the P.I.C. plot or how much I actually buy the twist, even though I think the face turn is a pretty great moment.
I like Sebastian and Ray pretty well, but they're not all-time favourites. (Though yeah, Ray's basically done at this point; you could remove him from E2-4 and E2-5 entirely and I don't think much changes. Paratroopa1 posted... Yeah I think AAI2's cast is sort of... eh This generally sums up my feeling on the case-specific characters, yep. --- The RPG Duelling League: www.rpgdl.com An unparalleled source for RPG information and discussion ...
