logicbuttonFourth case!
Hey, the silhouette for the incomplete fourth case title screen is Fulbright's!
So...Solomon Starbuck wears his space suit all the time, then?
"We'd ask about space travel and he'd launch" Eh? Eh???
Apollo and Clay have the exact same face.
Ahaha, this game totally is about Apollo getting injured in increasingly unlikely ways, isn't it.
"Maybe he's entering a touchy age..." Hahahaha!
"Since you asked so nicely... It's your coffin." I love Blackquill.
Why is Apollo working this case, anyway? Isn't this terribly sad for him?
Wait, what was it that the judge had in mind?
Okay, as of the end of Fulbright's testimony, here's what I'm thinking: the security camera shows Terran carrying Starbuck, who is passed out because of either PTSD or something having to do with his pills, like maybe they were replaced or laced with something. You can't tell who's who because their faces are covered. Somebody else came by later and committed the murder. And, what the hell, let's also say that that person was Fulbright, because he was on the scene for unknown reasons and we still haven't pulled the trigger on those peaked lapels.
"(But it sounded perfectly logical to me...)" I, logicbutton, agree with this. Apollo's logic is sound.
"(Could somebody please reassure me now?)" Awww, Apollo!
Ahahaha they're going to bring a cherry picker into the courtroom! Wait, wasn't there one in the exploded courtroom later? Will have to check! If so: continuity!
Excellent, this new oxygen tank information plus Starbuck's earlier fainting episode will totally prove the first part of my theory!
Wait, does the logo on the spacesuit read "GYAXA"? As in "gyakusa"? As in "Gyakuten Saiban"? Oh my goodness!
"For the sake of the man who respected you and believed in you -- Clay Terran!" Oh, Apollo.
Haha, Blackquill is such a buzzkill.
Seriously, man, Blackquill cracks me up. He and Franziska should be BFFs. They're almost the same age and everything.
Aww, the picture of Apollo and Clay!
"But what about Mr. Starbuck's dream? And who will carry out Clay's final wish?" Apollo! It's not like the trial is OVER, geez!
Uuuugh, gross, they're flashing back to the part where Ted Tonate's eyes explode.
Yay, playing as Phoenix! I love Phoenix.
Ah! Starbuck definitely knows Athena from before! Probably from her mysterious backstory!
AUGH, this "fear of space" business. It's not a fear of space; he's suffering from PTSD. This is not rocket science.
"And the fact that the killer might be me..." Uh, what? That's not a thing.
Aww, Clay and Apollo! Like attracts like!
Hey, Athena and Phoenix are puzzling over what GYAXA could stand for! Man, this game is meta.
And Phoenix is having deja vu, maybe from his conversation with Maya about what the "bur" sign meant in the basement of Lordly Tailor!
It occurs to me that when Phoenix says "We're [...] lawyers," this might be the first time he's telling the truth about that. I always wondered what people thought when Phoenix would imply that Pearl was a lawyer.
Ah, so Athena's mysterious backstory involves space exploration and possibly the Cosmos Space Center!
Fulbright is acting so suspicious that I dunno if I suspect him anymore.
In addition to Fulbright/Blackquill, I believe I ship Fulbright/policeman who gives neck rubs.
Oh, of course, Athena must know Ponco from her mysterious backstory. That's why Ponco and Widget have the same color scheme.
I just realized that if it's mid-December, it must be almost exactly ten years since Edgeworth's trial, and 25 years since DL-6.
So why isn't Phoenix carrying his magatama? He had it in AJ, after all.
Speak of the devil! Psyche-Locks ahoy!
"I've been distraught about Prosecutor Blackquill as well..." GUHHHH
"I've been wondering about...why he's allowed to stand in court..." Haven't we all, Bobby. Haven't we all.
Ah, I think Aura must actually be his half-sister or something, as there are no opposite-sex full siblings in Phoenix Wright.
Aura unsettles me.
Oh, Apollo. Oh, Apollo. :(
"We'll see who's the dotard after I trounce you with my years of experience, little boy!" Phoenix has totally been waiting his whole career to say that.
"(My beautiful contradiction... Gone... All gone...)" Hasn't Phoenix said this before?
I love that Phoenix and Apollo have triumphant objection music from their previous games. I would have chosen the music from the first game instead of T&T for Phoenix, as I think it's more iconic, but as long as it makes me nostalgic and happy. Of course, Phoenix tends to do that in general. I love Phoenix.
"Hey, I'm pretty lucky myself." Well, that's an understatement. More like "A Ghost Trick spirit must be following me around because by all accounts I should be dead by now."
Ahh, I love it when Fulbright tases Blackquill. I bet it is or will soon be a fic trope.
Ooh, Phoenix should have asked who the fingerprints on the lighter belonged to before starting to grandstand about how they would prove Starbuck innocent. This isn't gonna be good.
Waaaait a minute. That verdict seems awfully pat. I'm suspicious about the lighter, I'm suspicious about Fulbright, and I'm surprised that Blackquill doesn't seem suspicious of either one at all.
Okay, see, Blackquill really should have raised that objection immediately. Now it's totally gonna turn out to have been Starbuck all along, and they'll have to get him on something else because of double jeopardy. I wonder if he held off his objection on purpose for some reason? Because otherwise that's a real Idiot Ball move, and I'm disappointed.
Wait, that's the END? Just great. Ah well, at least this game has five cases. I love five-case games.
