Why not?

@@MikeTheEntei why tho😭😭

@@brucewayne2956 I'm not entirely sure. I think the overall expected value is still less for Celebrations packs after completing the set, but it does cost fewer crystals, as well... I'm not sure which is better in the long term. I've been buying Celebrations packs for now because I have so many spare credits that I can afford to waste some crystals lol

​@@MikeTheEnteiI looked it up on reddit and it seems like Calyrex is the consensus best choice for newer players

Mr. Hat is overpowered, but he isn't a match for Vera's aura

@@TheFalseDragon Grind at Sky Pillar :))))) Definitely won't get Exploded upon by Claydol :)))))))

Ooh, I see you've also delved into solo runs myself. discord.gg/SeEncDTPQn Here, have a silly Discord server link, since I was really bad at putting them in the description for a while. :P

Yikes, that is not ideal. Thank you extremely for pointing that out. I play with the audio levels a lot in order to hear certain things more clearly while editing, and it seems that I forgot to unmute that section of my voice-over. Here's the script for that section: Vera is alive, but she could die at any moment. The trial must end, as soon as possible. Klavier's argument: That Vera poisoned herself out of guilt for killing her father. Apollo has another idea, though. He shows Vera's bottle of nail polish, and gets a slight reaction out of Klavier. The Mason System revealed the bottle's source, and Klavier slowly realizes whom Apollo's about to name.

I sorta attribute it to Phoenix being grossly overconfident, but it is still jarring.

@@MikeTheEntei That's an interesting reason, although it unfortunately adds to the problem of Pheonix not having much self confidence outside of AJ, maybe even losing it later. It was still noticeable regardless, especially since it wasn't the first time this happened. Edgeworth didn't directly forge evidence but I imagine the autopsy report was outdated for a reason.

Phoenix gets more confident after the first game, and develops an almost-irrational hatred of prosecutors during JFA, but I agree, he's never truly COCKY until this game. You could argue that he's toned himself down as of DD specifically because of this trial, but regardless, it doesn't excuse the diary page as a stupid way to disbar him.

Yeah, I believe you get 4,150 from Shadow Rider. Amazing deal. If they ever take it down I will cry.

Why, thank you for the compliments and for your thoughts as well. In order to ensure that everything flows relatively well in my video, I'm scripting the entire rest of the video before recording or editing anything. I just finished drafting the Mason System portion this afternoon, and it alone is almost 5,000 words long and twice as big as any other section of the review. I'm reeeeally hoping I can get everything out before the 6th of September so I can play Investigations XD

Also in response to what you said, yes the burden of proof is with the prosecution. However, I guess that's supposed to be part of the major flaw? Because it's super unfair for the defense to not only prove the innocence of their victim but also prove an entirely different person's guilt. Idk if that's how it went back in Japan but I do know at the very least that the ridiculousness of the legal system was to be displayed.

I both love and hate how sudden the revelation is. As Klavier said, it's a very thorough turnabout, but the only one who questions it is Daryan. Granted, witness testimony is practically treated like gospel on the prosecution's side until disproven, so it kinda makes sense that the judge would believe Lamiroir too.

Oh, that's all a thousand percent true, and your theory makes a great deal of sense. I know that part of this case's climax involves you calling a witness specifically because you don't have any direct evidence, but there's just far too much that would be really cool to see that doesn't get explored at all. Hell, given the Jurist System plot, the idea of a corrupt judge would be a much more compelling and easy-to-understand reason to have a trial run of a system wherein the verdict can't be corrupted by one person, as opposed to what actually happens where a huge double-standard is used to imply that Daryan would get off scot-free due to a lack of evidence.

Audio mixing is not my strong suit at all. I intend to revisit all my footage and adjust/add audio as necessary before making my big video.

@@MikeTheEntei Fair, I'd love to give feedback on this but I can't really in the current state zkxnxknxmxk

@@thevudat3991 The upcoming investigation segment is good, trust. But uh The trial is....fun :)

It does some cool things, especially in this last investigation segment, but has a lot of wasted potential and explains itself rather poorly.

There is also a bit of weird things, like Macchi being accused despite being a child that would have logically dislocated his shoulder from the recoil, as said by the game would happen to a grown adult without former training, or Lamiroir calling an air vent a window, despite speaking completely fluent english for the rest of the case. There is also a few other weird bits, but I’d say the entire case isn’t awful, there is just some leaps of logic that can be infuriating.

@@helghast_7203 To be completely fair, children getting accused of crimes they shouldn't be accused of is not new in this series. Although suspension of disbelief may be a bit more maintainable in the prior ones, since they didn't rely on a child having military training. Like Edgeworth was apparently guilty of murder for, what I think might be taken as an accident, or even defense even for an adult, at the age of like 8, and its also a very unlikely situation to begin with. And I seem to remember Ema got accused at a similar age for, again, something mostly out of her control, and complicated. And they do also often accuse people of doing things they would never be able to do throughout the series, like with the Edgeworth defense case, it's almost impossible for any human being to use that sword as a weapon in that way, but they accused Iris anyway. This one is just over the top though. The investigation segments are better. But also the entire plotline seemed a bit weird for the entire case, didn't it?

tier 5 actually :(

Oh, yeah, she is basically made into a joke during this section.

They're not evil. If you played the games you would see that the prosecutors aren't considered "evil", they're just antagonists (the only exception being Manfred von Karma (he's just evil, there's no doubt about it)). They may be jerks and smug smart-asses, but that's par for the course of Ace Attorney's characters. You even team up with some of them to bring the culprits to justice in several cases.

​@@nandohenriques2975 blaise debeste / exelcius winner and ga'ran are also evil

I do remember hearing that the writers liked keeping grape juice around because it was funny. I'm quite partial to it myself.

@@SPACERACECAR666 Thank you greatly for the feedback and criticism. I do plan on going through the entire review and adjusting the audio before I upload it. [It is a very big Filmora file already, and the full review is almost certainly going to be over 2, maybe even 3, hours long.] Singing it was fun, especially trying and failing to sing it live. 83 As I said in response to the other comment here, this case has a lot of really cool ideas but executes them poorly. I didn't know the game was rushed, but given how quickly these games came out back then, I wouldn't be surprised to hear that AJ was. I respect this case for trying, but that doesn't mean I think it's good.

@@MikeTheEntei AAAJ was indeed rushed, at least that's what I remember reading a couple of times. I don't know if you've played the whole game or not, I'm gonna assume not. Basically, the entire final case would've turned out differently if Takumi was allowed to fully realize his vision. A lot of the characters have also suffered from this (one reason why Kristoph Gavin is so underdeveloped) I don't remember the exact reasons why the game was rushed but...yeah. The final nail in the coffin was Dual Destinies having a different director, as well as pressure from Capcom to bring back Phoenix as the main protagonist, completely abandoning all the characterization done in AJ (Hobo Phoenix, for example).

@SPACERACECAR666 Oh, I have played through the game numerous times. I did the entire dub on my Twitch before uploading any of this to my YT channel, so that I could refine the YT archive [e.g. by replacing the live Guitar's Serenade takes] and so I could have a vision on the whole game when writing the review. I know that the game, and the fourth case in particular, was basically meant to be propaganda, and I've fallen down a rabbit hole of Japan's legal history. It has been...quite a ride.

It's not as many times as I remember, but this case probably has somewhere close to the most flashbacks to a single event, up there with Bridge referencing DL-6 and Succession referencing...well, we'll get into that later, too.

Also, I am going to get a LOT more critical of this case. My overall opinion on it is that I love the ideas at play, and think there were a lot of creative risks taken, but that they just don't pay off because they were executed poorly. I feel that way about the game in general tbh

@@MikeTheEntei I think it's towards the end of the case where they reeaaaally do the flashbacks, but I might be misremembering. I like the song but it gets old very fast.

They reference it about seven times in total, if you count the half-flashbacks to talk about certain parts.

@@MikeTheEntei Oh it's just 7? It really feels like more 🤣

It's actually Cardfight Area, sometimes referred to as CFA. It's been around for a long time and has had many iterations and updates, and I prefer its system and interface, though you can't use it on your phone.

Yeah dude it makes no sense I’m a bengals fan tho

They just mad

Simple answer: prob a browns, steelers, or ravens fan

@@Spaceman_nate or chiefs

@@JoeBrrrrrrr true

LMAO

To be fair, there are only three options lol and at least Alita almost has self defense. (She had a legal duty to flee the scene blah blah blah) Daryan was also committing crimes, though we don't ever get to know if he was in danger. Presumably he was since him taking LeTouse's gun implies some kind of struggle, but it's never confirmed. But yeah, now that you mention it, there's not that much sympathy that can be given to any of...well, most of the PEOPLE in this game, to be honest. With the exception of Lamiroir and Brushel, pretty much everyone is a criminal of some sort or at least morally dark. Olga helps Shadi cheat, Shadi, of course, cheats, in addition to his actions as Zak, Wesley is a thief, Wocky belongs to the mob, Guy...he's helpful, I guess. Do we count the noodles being too salty as a crime? :P LeTouse is legit, pun intended. Lamiroir is helpful, though she does lie a couple times on Machi's behalf. Machi lies a BUNCH of times, of course. Valant cares more about leaving his magic unsolved than solving a murder, Drew and Vera obviously were involved in forgery...somehow Mike Meekins is one of the most outwardly helpful characters in the game.

​​@@MikeTheEntei thats one of the things i really enjoy about Apollo Justice. It's intentionally very morally grey compared to the other games in the series. It shows a very tangible shift with the world of this seven year skip, and how the legal world has changed with the "dark age of the law." Barely anyone in this game is truly innocent, not even the defendants or victims, and they all have done morally incorrect things in service to their goals. Some are more evil than others, but they all have done wrong in some capacity. The only fully innocent people in the entire game are Eldoon, LeTouse, and Lamiroir. And you could make a case against both Lamiroir and LeTouse because Lamiroir intentionally lies and LeTouse is complicit in people's deaths just by virtue of doing his job. It's really interesting to see the shift the dark age of the law has caused, especially since you can see seeds of the dark age earlier on in the series, in cases like 1-5, 2-4, and 3-3.

I'll be simple but this is such as great slowburn Turnabout. I do recognize the terrible focus on underwear jokes and Phoenix's deal in Apollo's initial solo trial. I generally love the morally grey aspect which most players criticized was lacking on a majority of the series. Especially with Awkardzombie's comics, those are still fun tho. Anyways, most players should see this game improved with real-world indictments to almost anyone, even witnesses. Guilt as confirmed is not on a moral ground but accountability of actions. I would say the original trilogy had the aspects which Dual Destinies considered the "dark age of law". So, with those elements, the aspects of processing law were this game and DD's goals. It's what Kristoph and some final cases of games revolve around. There was in order: Court Control, Failings of the Legal Structure, Workplace Vengeance. Thats what I considered for the first trilogy.

@@chewviewleonardo6511 This is true. There's a great video about the Dark Age of the Law, going into detail on how that big plot thread of Dual Destinies started in AJ, if not the original trilogy.

I don't think Phoenix being a big player here is inherently bad, but his continued presence greatly stunts Apollo's growth throughout "his" trilogy. Which, again, isn't inherently bad, but there's little need for Phoenix to continue practice law from a story perspective. He's already had his arc, after all. It's cool to have the veteran Phoenix take down Kristoph through a series of calculated maneuvers, and in this game him existing as that veteran is understandable, if not necessary, but it's almost like he wastes time in the 3DS games--his cases could've been given to Athena and Apollo to give them more time to develop. He works fine as a mentor, and I like him having his own case in Reclaimed [and even Turnabout Time Traveler is fine as filler/fanservice], but I think he should've stayed away from the spotlight more in those ganes.

@@MikeTheEntei yeah I get the feeling. I was mainly referring to his presence in AA4 specifically since most people complain about this one more and not much about his presence in the 3Ds. I agree he shouldn’t have gotten that much spotlight, and yet, it didn’t bother me personally. I did end up loving Apollo and Athena respectively, especially when they worked together and especially with Phoenix in their final case in DD. I do hope Athena becomes the main lawyer in the next game. And even if Apollo’s arc is completed I wouldn’t mind having him back for a case, since there’s still a plot line yet to be finished for him.

The problem with Apollo is that he kinda can't come back without spoiling how SOJ ends. Unless he dies at the beginning of AA7 which would be WILD

@@MikeTheEntei yeah please no 🥲 this man suffered enough. Just tell him about his sibling and mom
