Yeah, it might result in some bigger comebacks, too, because of stuff like that.

Oh hey, an English trailer for P3D! Sounds like they might have gotten all the original (or updated, in the case of Fuuka, since that sounds like Wendee Lee, who voiced her in the Arena games) VAs back, except for maybe Michelle Ruff. She didn't have any lines at all in this trailer, even in the part that focused on Yukari, which either means she's not back or she hasn't recorded her lines yet, I guess.

P5D English trailer, too! Morgana's voice sounds a little off to me there. Maybe I'm wrong, but everyone else sounds like the original VA.

Finished the day 2 investigation of 6-5. This case has a really good cast. Hanging with Edgeworth was cool even if it was very brief, and Nahyuta is finally starting to get some character development, which is nice. Pretty excited to finish this out and see where it goes, though I might not find the time for a few days.

I also want to say how much I'm enjoying the music (not that this is a bizarre thing for PW outside of like, AA2). A lot of it's just remixed stuff, but the new Cross-Examination music is great, Nahyuta's theme is really good, and a lot of the case specific character themes have been pretty nice too.

I do prefer the AA5 version of Athena's Theme, though.

Oh right, I started playing Professor Layton and the Last Spectre last night. I wanted a game I could play in bed as I was falling asleep (since I haven't been able to do that for a while thanks to my AA project), and I figured that was a bit easier than DQ8.

So this is a prequel, I'm assuming? Luke looks to be a bit younger than in the original trilogy (and he shouldn't be around anymore after Unwound Future anyway barring some kind of timeskip, too, I guess). I like this Emmy girl so far, if nothing else.

I'll probably miss the beginning and end of matches a few times per week just because of my church schedule alone

I felt like it started to go a little long at the end there. Was starting to remind me of E1-5. It didnt truly overstay its welcome, but it was getting close. Need to try and process things a bit, had a few small issues with the case, but it was mostly great. Not sure where it falls in the final case rankings yet. Games overall I think Im at 3 > 5 > 1 > 6 > 2 > 4.

I think 6-5's big twist is a top 3 moment in the series. I think it falters a little toward the end, but it manages to finish strong.

I think my main series rankings are the same as yours.

Which twist specifically?

I was able to piece together Nayna being Amara a while before it happened, I thought that one was pretty telegraphed. The slow realization that Dhurke was dead the whole time I didnt see coming until right before the reveal though, and that got me pretty good.

The second one. I figured it out like 30 seconds before you were supposed to, and it was perfect. I think you were supposed to piece together the first one ahead of time because I did and it seems like most people here who've played it did, too.

ha there's a audio clip in VLR that's from a scene that appears in ZTD

it's kind of wild encountering it again after I've already played through the series and fully understanding what that conversation means

also it's kind of mind-blowing listening to Tenmyouji talking about being a part of it knowing who he really is already

In AA6, the stuff after Amara gets shot isn't quite as good as the stuff beforehand, unfortunately. Everything up to that point was amazing, and I think that Amara actually being evil would've been an absolutely incredible twist. Taking down Ga'ran felt more like a typical case than something crazy. As it is, I might like the first half of the case a little more than the second (though both are awesome). Definitely a top tier case for the series.

I actually figured out Dhurke was dead quite a bit ahead of time. The one that caught me completely by surprise was that Ga'ran couldn't channel.

Figuring that one out ahead of time was the one thing I was very proud of!

I got many other things wrong, but I nailed that one!

Also, so some case 5 thoughts. It was far and away the best case in the game, not even close (though I suppose this is true for most of the games). As I said last night, I think it might have went on a bit too long. As Mac pointed out, everything after Amara was shot felt kind of unnecessary. I also thought the two halves of the case felt a little too distinct. There's obviously a throughline there, but you could have turned this in to 6-5 and 6-6 and I probably wouldn't have batted an eye. I did appreciate Apollo a ton here, though, and glad he finally got a real 'final' case with some real resolution. I'd be all for another solo Apollo game at this point (though as I alluded to, SoJ might as well have been AJ2 already).

Final case rankings probably something like 2-4 > 3-5 > 6-5 > 5-5 > 1-4 > 4-4? Maybe? It's tough, they all so good except 4-4, and its been like 10 years since I've played the first three, so my memory is rusty.

As for the game as a whole, it's definitely super hit or miss. 6-3 and 6-5 were good, the rest of the cases I'm not particularly enthralled with. I think the new characters were mostly a bust. I liked Rayfa a lot, Datz was good, and Nahyuta was fine, but he really didn't have any character development until the very end, and even then it wasn't much. All the case-specific characters I don't care about at all. And I've got to say, the translators got super lazy with the name puns, especially with the Khura'inese citizens. Rheel Neh'mu? Give me a break.

With the returning characters, Apollo definitely stole the show. I was really glad to have Ema back too. Athena and Phoenix were fine, though Pheonix felt a little out of character in the first half of 6-5. I understand he was under duress, but something still seemed off about his character to me during that trial. I was disappointed we didn't get more Maya, but it was definitely nice to have her around again. Wish she could have sidekicked for a case (but I guess that's what the DLC case is for).

6-5 > 6-3 > 6-2 > 6-1 > 6-4 I guess?

I kinda liked the Khura'in puns being so on the nose. I do wish they had used Maya better during the main game instead of using her to rehash a couple of plot points, but she's the highlight of the DLC case, in my opinion.

Yeah, knowing that Maya is the sidekick and Edgeworth is the prosecutor for the DLC case makes me more likely to grab that and play it. Probably not right away, but I don't think I'll totally skip it like I was initially planning to.

Some of the Khura'in names sucked, but Rheel Neh'mu was hilarious. I think with that one in particular they were going for something as lame as possible.

That's pretty much the only reason to get it. It's a pretty throwaway case, I think.

Yeah, it's basically fanservice for people who like the OT. I'd probably rank the case itself on par with 6-2 overall, but a Phoenix/Maya/Edgeworth case is worth the price of admission.
