Phoenix Wright: Justice for All
Oct. 9th, 2007 08:29 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
logicbuttonYou guys, I just finished Justice for All. It took up almost all my free time for two weeks, and it was sooooo worth it.
But before I share my thoughts, let me show you the macro I submitted to this contest. It's based on my icon.
Ha ha. Who knew? Anyway, yeah, I kept a list of the thoughts I had while playing this game, and here they are, in all their mostly-unedited splendor.
And here they are:
The dude who I know is going to be important because his face is on the game booklet cover just called Phoenix "Mr. Attorney." Game translator, you're fired.
Wow, we actually get to see Phoenix outside of court! And he is looking fine!
I really like the testimony/cross-examination music. Like, a lot.
"Present evidence? Oh, THAT present evidence!" Ha ha! Good work, new game translator. I'm glad I hired you.
I like the objection music, too!
"It's all YOUR fault, pal! You're guilty, guilty, guilty! I should have you arrested!" Awww! This is so cute! Except it's also kind of depressing, because apparently Gumshoe didn't immediately notice that the name of the girl he's supposed to be really into was misspelled.
"Morgan Fey." I C WHUT U DID THERE.
Awww! Pearl is so cute! She kind of makes me ship Phoenix and Maya!
OH GOD THE DIALOGUE BETWEEN PHOENIX AND PEARL AND GUMSHOE MAKES ME MELT.
Wait a minute. Edgeworth is supposed to be DEAD? When did this happen? He sure as hell was alive when he was prosecuting Lana Skye. I mean, what is he supposed to have died from? Ennui? Anyway, he can't be dead; he's on the cover of the game case.
Ha ha! Franziska von Karma will whip Phoenix into submission! I'm for it!
Wow, Franziska is really badass and seems more interested in things like "evidence" and "forensics" than her crazy-ass father. And she likes the word "fool"!
"And rest assured, your punishment will come later!" "P-punishment?" Oh wow, this game is kinky!
I love watching Franziska kick Lotta's ass; it's like I'm living vicariously through her. Shut up, Lotta. Also, I LOVE Franziska's voice.
OH GOD MIA IN PEARL'S BODY THE BOOBS THIS IS SICK.
...You guys. I think I ship Franziska/Mia. Their love is so objectionable!
PHOENIX DID NOT JUST SAY "Well, excuuuse me, Princess."
God, I love Franziska already. She is number 5 on my list of Fictional Women I'd Totally Do. Which is actually more impressive than it sounds, as spots 1 through 4 are all Hawkeye.
"I'd like to feel a lot better very soon." Did Franziska just proposition Phoenix? I have decided to think so. Go for it, Phoenix!
"Are you still, by chance, evolving?" Hee hee hee. And I LOVE how she keeps saying "The end." That's my thing that I say! And she's saying it too!
Okay, so Mia, who is supposed to be dead, is just standing there all boobariffic in her eight-year-old cousin's clothes, QUESTIONING WITNESSES, and nobody cares. This bothers me.
Phoenix doesn't know what a driver's permit is? There is no way this game takes place in California. Anyway, hasn't he driven between investigation sites before?
Oh, Mia and Maya! So adorable! Aww!
Max Galactica did NOT just say "sweet geebus."
"Once this case is solved, I'll roll over for you as many times as you like." Oh my goodness, this game is pure innuendo!
MOE DID NOT JUST MAKE A FRESH PRINCE REFERENCE. Just how many references are in this game? Oh my god and he keeps going with it.
Ha ha! Franziska is going to make Gumshoe be Moe's straight man!
"You are to respond with the whole truth! No fractions!" Holy crap, it is like Franziska's entire purpose of existence is to say things that I personally find awesome. Except pi actually can't be expressed as a fraction, so I have to assign her a penalty for that. :(
"Being bossed around by a woman...I know how you feel." What the FUCK is that supposed to mean? Foolish game of foolish fools. *whipcrack* If he's talking about Maya, he could say, "Being bossed around by an eighteen-year-old."
"Regina...I mean, Ms. Regina Berry." Wait a second, isn't calling someone by their first name, and then amending it to a more formal form, shorthand for "I know or would like to know this person better than I let on"? Does this mean that Regina and Franziska hooked up? This is the hottest thing ever. "Moreover, Ms. Regina could never do something like that! It's just not in her." Oh, Franziska. You, like so many men before you, have fallen victim to the deadly charms of Regina Berry. ♥
Oh hay I think I know who's going to be in the background on the title screen for the final case after I beat it. Hint: All the other people on the game cover so far have gotten their own title screen backgrounds.
Hey, North American localization management! Don't think I don't love the pop culture references, but maybe you should really think about spending less time on them and more time on editing your awful copy!
Scruffy McTrenchcoat? That's it, I ship Gumshoe/Franziska.
YES EDGEWORTH! And he's smacking down Franziska in front of everybody to some awesome music! He's got a new sprite, too, although it's not as cute as that one from the fifth case in the first game. Seriously, this music is really awesome.
Heh, Edgeworth is going to be more "forthcoming" with "information". "Just what is going on inside his head?" He wants to fuck you, Phoenix! Just like everybody else in this game!
I love how Phoenix is all, "I have things left to learn? Moi?"
The thing I love about Edgeworth prosecuting is that I know he won't try to distract us with endless tiring egotistical bullshit, unlike other prosecutors I could name.
Oh, poor Gumshoe! He sounds so depressed! I want to give him a hug.
I was just thinking about this, after talking about something similar earlier with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
clodia_risa, and it doesn't really have anything to do with the point I'm at in the game, but an argument could actually be made that in the Phoenix Wright universe, all the children in a family are always the same gender. Seriously, Yanni Yogi's unseen children of questionable existence are the closest thing we have to a brother/sister pair. The second closest thing would be Edgeworth's relationship to Franziska. And in fact, in the first case we could argue that Yanni Yogi's belief in the existence of opposite-sex sibling relationships is actually evidence of his brain damage.
"The wicked witch of the witness stand." Oh, Edgeworth, I've missed you.
Okay, new theory: Edgeworth left for a year to get an advanced degree in Awesome, with a major in Hilarious.
Awww, Pearl and Gumshoe, BFF! ♥♥♥♥♥
Awww, they're going to go visit Franziska at the hospital! That's so sweet! Also, yay, Franziska!
Awww, Gumshoe is going to shine Phoenix's badge for him!!
"Director Hotti" is "personally taking care of" Franziska, huh? Yeah, I bet he is. Also, ew. Also, he calls her Friska, which is actually pretty cute.
Hehe, Gumshoe is going to be Phoenix's house husband.
Wow, Gumshoe is really worked up about helping out with the investigation, and it is REALLY HOT.
Edgeworth is just going to...carry that bear out the door? I'd like to see that. In related news, I still get this little tingle of glee whenever his awesome music starts playing.
OH FUCK ME I FINALLY BROKE MATT'S GODDAMN PSYCHE-LOCK. FUCK YOU, PSYCHE-LOCK.
OMG De Killer has a CAT! It totally MUST be that one cat we met earlier! It couldn't possibly be ANOTHER cat; that would be CRAZY!
Oh for God's sake, if they didn't have a warrant to search Engarde's house before, when he was arrested as a MURDER SUSPECT (at which point you would think they would have found Maya), why do they have one now? A fucking CAT does not sound like fucking probable cause. Unless, of course, there is only ONE CAT in the entire Phoenix Wright universe. Which is pretty much what I'm going to have to believe, here.
No, seriously, it would have made so much more sense for Phoenix to think, "that voice...where have I heard that voice before?" and then for the cat's meow to trigger his memory of meeting the butler at Matt's house. But nooooo.
Aww, Will Powers. He and Gumshoe should go out for drinks.
I love this "suspicious baseballs"/"suspicious footballs" line of questioning. That is all.
Eeee this is the most exciting recess ever! Gumshoe, Phoenix, and Mia are such a great team. ♥
HAHAHA I love the way Phoenix throws his phone at Edgeworth by pointing his finger. "Take that!" indeed.
Aww, Edgeworth doesn't like the idea of Gumshoe getting into traffic accidents! Clearly he is just a big softie!
"I...I trust Edgeworth?" Damn straight you do, Phoenix! Seriously, I would have squealed out loud at this if I hadn't been sitting in Caribou at the time.
Okay, that two-way radio's sweatdrops are really, really disgusting. What is that even supposed to be? Gasoline? Melted chocolate?
"I think we'll be okay...like we can do this. (As long as he's standing there across from me...)" HOLY CRAP Phoenix is totally in love with Edgeworth! "(No matter how strong of a punch I throw, he'll counter it...)" Oh, wait, it was a lead-in to a different thought. I see. Never mind. (but he still totally wants him.)
HOLY CRAP IT'S FRANZISKA!!!!!!!!! OH MY GOD!!!!!! SO AWESOME I THINK I'M GOING TO EXPLODE!!!!!!!!!!! I'M JUST GOING TO KEEP THIS SCREEN UP FOR A LITTLE WHILE HERE!!!!!!!!!! AND IT'S EDGEWORTH'S AWESOME MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND!!!!!!!!! COULD THIS GET ANY BETTER?????? I SUBMIT THAT IT COULD NOT!!!!!!!!!! HOLY SHIT EVERY TIME I LOOK AT THIS SCREEN I SQUEAL IN GLEE!!!!!!! HOW WILL I EVER FINISH THE GAME NOW??????? OKAY HOW ABOUT THIS I'LL COME BACK AND REPLAY IT. OKAY. YES. NO MORE CAPS NOW.
de Killer left his gun behind? That was smrt.
Ha ha, I would say that the reason the "client" would secretly film the crime scene was that they "wanted to see Juan get his" if I didn't feel weary at the idea of playing this whole scene over again.
Matt's nervous face is hysterical. I'm just going to look at this for a little while and snicker.
"I'm sure he's getting a full-course meal of whip leather right about now." Oh, I love you, Edgeworth. (And you, Franziska.)
Franziska, you really need to get some perspective. Your father is a crazy-ass murderer. You don't want to be like him. And, guess what, he didn't have a perfect win record either.
Aww, Phoenix and Maya and Pearl! Such an adorable little family! :D
"I'm so hungry even you look like a nice, juicy burger on a bun to me!" Maya, your innuendoes are thickly veiled indeed, but you can't hide the lust in your voice.
Hey, it's coatless Gumshoe! Woo! Take it off! And Edgeworth says he saved the day, aww! ♥
"I wonder if there's anything I can give him to express how I feel...?" I feel so limited by the constraints of the measly court record. Too bad there weren't any coupons for full-body massages in evidence.
Okay, Pearl really, REALLY ships Phoenix and Maya. Wow.
Hehe, Franziska wants Adrian to consult her about "anything at all", huh? Sounds like someone's moved on from Regina Berry.
Well, um, I have no idea what Franziska plans to do with that adorable drawing of Phoenix that Maya drew, but in other news, she seems to have kept Gumshoe's nasty coat as a souvenir, so I think she may be losing it. Poor Franziska, with her awakening crazy gene.
Oh, one more thought on Franziska: cheer up, emo kid. I know you're not thrilled about losing those cases, but you know what? I bet they don't count anyway. You know why? I'm pretty sure you don't have a license to practice law in the United States.
Um, in conclusion, I ship everybody with each other and love them all, and that was one amazingly awesome last case. I can't wait for the next game to come out.
P.S. Oh, hey, I was right about Edgeworth being the one in the background on the title screen. He's even hotter than I expected, though, so that's pretty cool.

Wait a minute. Edgeworth is supposed to be DEAD? When did this happen? He sure as hell was alive when he was prosecuting Lana Skye. I mean, what is he supposed to have died from? Ennui? Anyway, he can't be dead; he's on the cover of the game case.
Ha ha! Franziska von Karma will whip Phoenix into submission! I'm for it!
Wow, Franziska is really badass and seems more interested in things like "evidence" and "forensics" than her crazy-ass father. And she likes the word "fool"!
