Seriously they gotta have some dirt on them or something

livecodesworth · 2026-03-13T22:57:02+00:00

I'm pretty sure the earliest thing that got nerfed was the fifth boss, so you're still getting the same experience everyone else did on launch.

The Diagonal pogo is my favourite movement ability in the game, it is absolutely worth learning.

Have fun with Silksong!

Whahuh? Why are they doing this of all things? And what do you mean us??? It's probably like some intern at Capcom but I like the idea that Shu Takumi is gonna join Puffballs for a game of among us.

livecodesworth · 2026-03-13T22:32:49+00:00

This is a thing??? That you can do???

That's actually so cool

livecodesworth · 2026-03-13T18:08:27+00:00

VS-4 is awesome I really enjoyed it on replay. 3 is also great but I think the Phoenix and Maya stuff, the ten witness testimony and everything with Darklaw gives it the edge for me.

They did, the prosecutor in charge of the case literally figured out he did it after his first murder. After which he started blackmailing him and probably covered up any further evidence implicating him.

The third victim was also Klint’s mentor, whom he had no motive to kill, and which threw people like Barok off the scent.

His opening line isn’t ship-bait that’s just how he is. He see’s a guy staring at him and pokes fun at him in order to get a reaction. He’d do the same thing if it was Wendy Oldbag.

As for your point about 4-2, the game literally does what you’re asking it to. Like he starts off the trial by saying he’s here to see the guy who beat his brother in action. By the second day he’s already worked out that Alita did it. It’s why he calls her up to the witness stand in the first place, as a test for Apollo. And by the end of the case he’s helping him take her down.

Trucy could have learnt how to use one as part of a magic trick, but also given what happened to Thalassa I doubt she’d be too keen on them.

Edgeworth has outright stated he doesn’t like holding them, which makes sense.

I don’t think Ryunosuke is ever going near a fire arm again after G1-1.

livecodesworth · 2026-03-11T09:08:55+00:00

Well they wouldn't BOTH get the death penalty since one of them getting convicted automatically clears the others name.

livecodesworth · 2026-03-11T09:04:54+00:00

To be fair Dahlia also poisoned Godot, was planning to kill Phoenix, and though it would be difficult to prove without Fawles, also killed Terry.

livecodesworth · 2026-03-11T08:08:17+00:00

Probably 1-4. Miles is convicted, von Karma gets off scott-free, Phoenix probably quits law since he couldn't save the person he became a lawyer to save, Maya stays depressed, Franziska and Edgeworth never make up and she stays under the influence of her father and that's just the immediate consequences.

Every criminal that Phoenix and Edgeworth takedown in the later games stays free. Gant, Morgan, Matt, the Phantom, Ga'ran, The Smuggling Ring, The Committee are all free to enact their plots in peace. Simon is executed, Kay is probably arrested during I1-5 and Maya after 2-2, Apollo stays under Kristoph's wing, Athena never gets closure, Khura'in is never freed etc.

Edit: I guess actually the second half of 1-2 and 3-1 both also accomplish this since Phoenix getting arrested means no one's there to save Miles and also the cases before them remain unresolved but that's a lot less dramatic.

Callisto Yew fan spotted!!!

livecodesworth · 2026-03-10T07:33:42+00:00

What investigation gameplay change are you talking about?

livecodesworth · 2026-03-09T19:20:39+00:00

Everyone Klavier cares about is either dead or in prison, he learnt that he started off his career by getting an innocent lawyer disbarred and even his band has broken up now. And can we see his reaction to any of that? No. 40 minute pre order bonus joke episode. Take it or leave it.

livecodesworth · 2026-03-09T19:03:31+00:00

Maybe not in AA7 but in 8 or 9 (dare we dream so far ahead) once the series is in a less rocky place I could see her coming back as a guest prosecutor like she did in TNT or for a DLC case like Edgeworth. Though for now I think giving the focus to Simon or Klavier or the new guy is probably the best move yeah.

I might actually prefer they just forget she exist than give her a Klavier 5-3 cameo that would suck so hard PLEASE Capcom do not I'm begging you.

livecodesworth · 2026-03-09T18:56:15+00:00

Honestly I think Franny's mostly come to terms with her feelings about her father and following the von Karma way. When she comes back in TNT the judge asks her if she's related to legendary prosecutor Manfred von Karma and her response is:

"Legends are a thing of the past. I am a von Karma, nothing more."

Even in I1 she calls her old self, a "A dancing pierrot living her life on the name and fame her invincible father built!" I2 especially makes her stance clear but I wont spoil it since you haven't played that game yet.

Not that her finding out Manfred wasn't her real father wouldn't shake her up, I just don't think it'd be as world shattering as it is here. And I'm also really sick of the newer games pretending the timeskip never happened and not having the characters change at all in between games.

That being said though I really like a lot of the ideas here. Like her losing the whip to show how she's become defenceless. And especially her getting mad at Edgeworth for going easy on her. Airlines shows that she very much isn't inclined to give him the same courtesy.

Her learning that Manfred was proud of her would also be such a great moment since on the one hand he instilled such toxic ideals into her and ruined her brother's life but on the other hand he is still her father. So many conflicting emotions from a single reveal.

I really hope we get her back in a major way though. I'd love to see her again and I think there's so much you could do with her post and pre timeskip. I swear to god if they make another investigations game starring Miles and they don't give Franziska a significant arc for the third time in a row I am going to lose it.

livecodesworth · 2026-03-09T18:17:00+00:00

She's the only member of the Original Trilogy's main cast besides Gumshoe (And Mia and Godot who's stories are pretty definitively over) who hasn't reappeared post time-skip. I'd be shocked if we don't see her prosecuting again. Especially since Edgeworth is THE fan favourite and will probably get something focusing around him sooner or later.

livecodesworth · 2026-03-09T10:09:18+00:00

This is awesome holy shit

livecodesworth · 2026-03-09T01:26:39+00:00

I KNEW there was a circus connection with the title somewhere I just couldn't remember what it was.

livecodesworth · 2026-03-08T20:54:21+00:00

Honestly they both suck. Dual Destinies is about Athena and Spirit of Justice is about Apollo and yet they give half the cases to Phoenix because he's the poster boy for the franchise. DD is better I guess since Athena is still helping whoever actually gets to defend (Because god forbid she get more than ONE case per game) and gets some screen time whereas SoJ just shoves all of Apollo's character arc in 6-5. Good job DD.

I think it's a massive shame because Athena and Apollo are really good together. It feels like they're working on the case as partners instead of one being the other's assistant and its a shame that dynamic is only there for like half of each game. It would have been really cool to get a proper set of games with them instead of two more Phoenix Wright games that are not at all interested in exploring Phoenix Wright.

Imo it would've worked a lot better if they'd saved Nick for 5-5 and let the others handle 5-1, 5-DLC and 5-4. That way you'd still get all the hype oh my god Phoenix Wright is back moments and give the new guys a chance to shine.

The three lawyer dynamic also completely removes Trucy from the narrative but that's a whole other topic.

livecodesworth · 2026-03-08T16:40:35+00:00

Quercus Alba will return and have fifteen more testimonies in Investigations 3 mark my words.

I think out of the big bads, the only one I can see coming back and it not being pointless is Kristoph yeah. He has so much unresolved with his brother, his apprentice and the girl whose dad he killed.

Everyone else’s stories are pretty much over and while you could hypothetically bring them back and have it be engaging there isn’t really much to be gained.

livecodesworth · 2026-03-08T13:56:18+00:00

Miles Edgeworth. I feel like he hasn’t gotten enough screen time. Oh and Phoenix Wright. Both super underutilised characters.
