That was the most creative "game-ending objection" yet

Shoutout to Edgeworth being done with Trucy sleeping on him. I hope they can find a way for Edgeworth to do stuff that is less fanservicey and more substantial though in future games. I appreciate all they do to keep him around though and if they're kinda think he's fully developed and there's nowhere really left to go with him then that's fair enough

Anyway all in all

Idk if it's my favourite PW game but it's certainly up there. Top 3 along with 1 and 3, I'd say! Easily the best case 3 in the series, the inevitable mediocre case was short and trial-only, and a spectacular final case that rivals the best in the series. I guess I'd say in hindsight the whole civil case thing for the first trial day was a bit...obligatory, like they had to do it to adhere to the formula. But it worked pretty well. And at least they didn't do what they did in 5 where it was two separate cases, which I thought was super weird.

I thought they were going to channel the founder as well. The need for face+name was brought up many times, and her face was revealed in the middle of 6-5

Yeah I realized it right away too

To me it was basically like Dhurke saying "here, son, do this divination seance at the end of the case please"

that said I didn't see most of the rest of 6-5 coming, so, you know.

I've decided in my upcoming case ranking that I'm going to split 6-5 into "6-5a" and "6-5b" because they're both basically full length cases and have a lot to talk about on their own merits and they both basically have a beginning middle and end, although 6-5b starts where 6-5a leaves off

I will say I think the general idea here - of doing a case where someone is claiming to have "time-travelled", and then the case itself being an OT throwback with Maya, Larry and Edgeworth, is pretty cool/smart. I wonder if it'll have anything to say about the impossibility of time travel...and how even though you can try to recreate the past, you can't undo what has happened.

Idk just think it's a potentially pretty cool metaphor. I've not seen many cases with as clear a thematic idea behind it as this one.

Except whats the point when the entirety of both 5 and 6 have tried to try and recapture the original trilogys events in exaggerated form?

It's older stuff with a new spin rather than a more obvious attempt at recreation like this is

Also somebody is left-handed because the note is smudged, and this is going to play a role in the case I imagine
Left handed master race woo

To expand on this and give an example, I said earlier that 6-5 d1 is reverse 2-4. So it does recreate the events of 2-4 to some degree but it's also a different take on those events by having you play as Apollo.

Yeah, 6-6 is pretty much the length of a JFA or T&T case, so it's pretty short compared to the other cases in SoJ (and DD, too).

Ace Attorney Season 2 Episode 8 Spoilers
Hayami Saori voicing Viola was a welcome surprise. They pretty much cut Lisa, Blue Screens and SPARDA from the anime but I guess that couldn't be helped due to time constraints.

That was a nice case. Basically PW at a stroll. Not lengthy or trying too hard to be epic. Not a lot of false finishes to the trial. Just solid, small-scale stuff with decent fanservice.

Yeah I enjoyed 6-6 perfectly well for what it was. I had seen a lot of negativity towards it so my expectations were low, but it was just a fun time interacting with the OG characters. But the actual mystery solution was a little underwhelming.

Yeah, when I said it saved 6-4 from being the worst case in the game, I more meant that both are mediocre cases, but Uendo entertained me more than anything in 6-6 did, while 6-6's use of past characters and obvious twists were enough to land it in the bottom spot. I'd still put it above stuff like anything in AJ aside from 4-1

I like that 6-6 didn't feel overbloated the way 6-3 and 6-5 did (though don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed 6-5), but unfortunately the mystery presented in the case just isn't very well-done. And its nostalgic efforts didn't do much for me (nostalgia rarely does).

By contrast I really like 6-4. Much more enjoyable mystery, nicely-paced, and I think I consider it Nahyuta's best showing! ... which seeing as the case is totally irrelevant to his plot, says much about how that character didn't work for me.

3-5 is definitely up there in terms of tragic cases, with Pearl unwittingly being used as a pawn by her own mother
