Ace Attorney Investigations

logicbuttonThis game. THIS GAME.
This game here, everyone, exceeded EVERY ONE of my expectations. I can't even begin to articulate how much I loved it. It was wonderful. Absolutely wonderful.
I mean, as you know, I am pretty much willing to embrace anything that says "Ace Attorney" on it. Lord knows I wouldn't have bought two volumes of those terrible, terrible doujinshi collections otherwise. I would have enjoyed this game even if it were just kinda eh. But did Capcom take advantage of that? No. No, they did not.
I would go so far as to say that this is the best Ace Attorney game to date. Yes, I think I would say that.
But there will be plenty of time in the future to talk about that. For now, here's my commentary on the final case.
--------------------
Oooh, awesome opening cutscene! Want music!
As Edgeworth reflects on the eventful past few days, I wonder whether he's had time to shower at all. Grungeworth?
Steel Samurai stage show! Presumably Edgeworth was captivated in rapt, fanboyish adoration the way I would have been if I had gotten to see the Takarazuka Phoenix Wright show that came out around the same time as this game did in Japan. Art imitating life, and all.
Oh my goodness, talk of the Jammin' Ninja! If Will Powers or Adrian Andrews is in this case, I will officially award Investigations the title of Best Ace Attorney Game Ever, Except For Trials And Tribulations, Obviously. [ETA just before posting this: Clearly Will and Adrian were not necessary for this game to claim that title. Still, I would have loved to see them. I'm kinda surprised neither of them appeared, actually, given that EVERY OTHER RECURRING CHARACTER IN THIS UNIVERSE seemed to.]
OMG, Lotta Hart. Please don't be part of this game. "(Yet my instincts are directing me not to engage in conversation with her. Perhaps it would be best if I left her alone.)" Cheers, Edgeworth!
"Or maybe the Jammin' Ninja would make a better candidate...?" "(Heh, don't make me laugh, Kay. Only the Steel Samurai deserves such an honor.)" I know it's gotten a bit redundant by now, but Edgeworth is just the cutest fanboy.
Edgeworth gets to meet the Steel Samurai! He's so ~starstruck~
"Extraterristrial [sic] rights? Sir, do you really believe that the truth is out there!?" Gumshoe is secretly an X-Phile.
Aww, Edgeworth believes in Kay. I love it when he shows that he has a heart.
"(Is it just me or does this man look just like the Steel Samurai?)" Edgeworth, it's totally not just you! I was thinking the same thing!
"Would you mind not pointing that in my direction? It's dangerous." It's always safety first with you, Franziska.
"Argh, but it's so frustrating. I lost the person I was to rain judgment down upon with my Whip of Justice." Franziska appears to regard whipping as some kind of business transaction.
"I think the pain of being falsely accused is something you really should experience." Edgeworth speaks the truth, Franziska. Being falsely accused is like a rite of passage in this series.
You know, Shih-na and Kay's posture bothers me. Look at the way they're standing. They're going to ruin their backs. Franziska doesn't stand like that.
What's with Franziska being all coy about Kay calling her the whip lady? She's always "whip this" and "whip that" all the time. Maybe only she can refer to herself like that.
Aww, when Kay talks to Edgeworth, it's like she's talking to her father! Daddy!Edgeworth would be sooooo cute.
Kay and Gumshoe are so adorable! "(...All they're missing is the last stooge.)" Stuff it, Edgeworth. But if you insist, I think Maggey should be the last stooge.
HOLY SHIT LARRY IS THE STEEL SAMURAI
AAAAAAH HAHAHAHAHA Edgeworth is dying of embarrassment! Officially it's probably because now he knows Larry must have seen the expression of childlike wonderment on his face as he got his autograph, but unofficially I like to think he was planning to doodle "Miles + Steel Samurai" all over his organizer later with little hearts dotting the "i"s, and now he won't be able to bring himself to do it.
Oh no, Mask☆DeMasque! I hope that "II" means that this isn't anyone we've met before.
Badd Badd Badd Badd Badd! I love that the music basically segued from Lang's theme into Badd's. So awesome, GUH.
Aww, Badd has been on the trail of the Yatagarasu for seven years! Because this time...it's personal.
Capcom. Please. I know homophones are hard, but "populous" and "populace" do not mean the same thing. The More You Know.
"You sure know quite a bit about the Steel Samurai." "That's only because I saw the stage show earlier." Hahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa oh Edgeworth just come out of the damn closet already.
"[H]e was apparently represented by that man. Knowing him, I'm almost curious as to how insane that trial turned out to be." ...to find out for yourself, play Phoenix Wright, Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations, available at a fine retailer near you! Also, to answer your almost-question, Edgeworth, pretty darned insane and also awesome. Also also, Phoenix Wright is apparently the Macbeth of the prosecutorial world. Mask☆DeMasque I was represented by the Scottish lawyer.
Franzy's Whippity-Whip Trip! I'll take ten copies, please. Also, I like that Larry describes the range of Edgeworth and the Scottish lawyer's female companions as "cute" to "hot." Can't go conflating the two, you know.
"If Santa was real, he would be the biggest unlawful trespasser in history!" Edgeworth is such a grinch. P.S. Learn subjunctive, Capcom.
Hot damn, talking to Larry is almost as fantastic as snarking at the courthouse vending machine.
Oldbag! AHAHAHAHA! Poor Edgeworth just can't catch a break in this case. He could use a hug. It's really too bad that the Scottish lawyer isn't in this game.
Oh my goodness, it's Missile! Hi Missile!
I love Franziska's increasing suspicion at Edgeworth's extensive Steel Samurai knowledge.
"There are a few aspects I don't understand about what he found"? That's it. Capcom, I will be taking over as copy editor. Trust me, it's for your own good.
I love how Lang's cross-examinations are basically just continuous dick-waving on both sides.
"What's a definitive bit of evidence like you doing under here!?" Haha, good work, translator. See, aren't you glad you've got me editing your copy now, instead of the old editor who just screwed everything up?
Whenever there's a time elapse while the forensics people are running tests, I like to imagine that everyone just stands around and stares at each other. For example, while the fingerprint guy is checking the prints on the bottom of the Primidux statue, Larry is surreptitiously checking out Franziska's ass. Franziska is assuming that Larry is checking out her ass, and is quietly plotting her revenge. Oldbag is surreptitiously checking out Edgeworth's ass. Edgeworth and Lang are looking directly into each other's eyes, pupils slowly dilating as each plays out a scandalously obscene fantasy in his head involving the other. Badd is thinking about how delicious his lollipop is.
"(I feel like I've had a very similar conversation with someone else before...)" Arrgh who is Edgeworth talking about? This is going to bother me forever.
Kay is Team Step-Ladder! She and the Scottish lawyer are totally related. "(And from a prosecutor's perspective, any type of ladder is guilty of being dangerous during an earthquake.)" Everything Edgeworth says is genetically engineered for maximum adorability.
Lotta Hart contributes evidence even without appearing in the game. I wish that could have been how it had gone in JFA.
Yes, precedence for flying people! I love continuity.
I think Kay's butterfly/flower phone idea sounds really cool. Edgeworth is a total killjoy.
Aww, Edgeworth and Gumshoe remind Kay of her father and Badd! Too cute!
Awwww! Lang and Shih-na! AWWWWWWWWW!!! Guh, everybody in this case needs to have a group hug right this second.
SERIOUSLY, it is so cute how Lang brags about Shih-na and shows her off at every opportunity.
HOLY CRAP!! SHIH-NA IS YEW!!! HOLY CRAP!!!!
"Shih-na...... Please...show me you're someone I can trust." Oh man, Lang is gonna need a hug.
Man, I had Edgeworth check out the makeup first because I knew it wasn't the game-progressing option and I was curious to see what they would have to say about everything. But now I kind of wish I hadn't, because villain or not, nobody deserves to have her makeup examined in the skeevy way they're all going about it.
Uh, no, Lang, I don't know what they say about men who stare too long at women's shoes. But whatever it is, I really don't think it applies to Edgeworth.
OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS ALL THREE OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I KNEW IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aaaaaaahhhhhh this picture of the three of them is so badass! I'm going to make a non-spoilery icon out of it. Somehow.
Okay, this whole story arc is very complicated. I'm going to need to replay the game once I finish this case just to make sense of it all.
Aww, Badd! :(
Oh, I see, so that comment earlier about Franziska never having been falsely accused was actually foreshadowing. Got it.
I love how everybody basically just rolls their eyes at the idea that Franziska could be the killer. I'm not even convinced that Lang believes it himself. I think he's just upset about Shih-na (aww!) and wants to show Edgeworth how it feels to have to defend someone he cares about (awwwww!).
Aaah it's so cute how everybody immediately comes to Franziska's rescue, even Gumshoe. They're all such good people. ♥
Oh, Ace Attorney. Another game, another piece of evidence being vaulted through the air and away from the crime scene on a line of wire.
Lang called Edgeworth a pretty boy! Again! Guys, seriously, just get a room.
"I'll place her under arrest faster than you can howl 'Nooooooo!'" Looks like my suspicion was correct. Lang is so transparent.
Ahahaha Lang really was just being facetious! I like to think I was right about why he picked Franziska to falsely accuse.
Gaaaaaaaah Edgeworth and Lang look so badass together! gaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh "That's just as it should be in a 'prosecutor - detective team', right?" gaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh prosecutors/detectives OTP gaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Edgeworth has angst!! What does it mean to be a prosecutor? What does it mean to be an agent of justice? "(This leaves me with what? What creed will I believe in?)" Believe in me who believes in you, Edgeworth! "(And which path is a 'prosecutor' supposed to follow?)" Uh, wow, he actually took exactly the train of thought I just wrote down. Predictableworth? "(When a person goes beyond that limit, then the law, too, crosses into new territory!)" I like this philosophizing. These questions are what Ace Attorney is all about, after all. That's why these games are so awesome.
They're MAGNIFYING THE VIDEO FOOTAGE! CSI: "Los Angeles".
Holy crap, Alba is TERRIFYING. Holy CRAP. Apropos of nothing, I like his music.
I seriously cannot stop staring at Alba's character design. I LOVE it when they do blatant symbolism like this.
Alba's voice is hardcore!
You know, Palaeno is usually kind of creepy-looking, but in this commemorative photo, he's actually sort of hot.
"After all this time, you're still quite the feisty one. I applaud your powerful nature." Franziska totally has a soft spot for Kay! So sweet. I love them both.
HOLY SHIT LANG SAVES THE DAY!!!!!!! JUST LIKE FRANZISKA DID THAT ONE TIME!!!!!! I AM JUST GOING TO LEAVE THIS SCREEN UP FOR A LITTLE BIT HERE!!!!!
GUMSHOE SAVES THE DAY TOO, JUST LIKE HE DID THAT ONE OTHER TIME!! Wow, he looks awesome in this picture.
So like, I want to get a screencap of Edgeworth pointing and saying "People like you cannot be allowed to wander freely through society." I will then make an icon out of it and use it in unfunnybusiness.
Uh...Larry and Oldbag save the day! I guess. I love how Larry can reduce Edgeworth to a whiny nine-year-old.
I really can not believe how hot it is when Edgeworth and Lang work together like this. It doesn't help that every other line of theirs could be read as a double entendre. Yes, Edgeworth, please do "return the favor."
"A moment in which you hit a wall that you must overcome in order to beat the game." Uh, Metaworth? Could you keep it down, please?
Oh, gross, I just realized that Larry was totally swimming in corpse water earlier.
"It's the Steel Samurai who is cool!" EDGEWORTH OUTS HIMSELF!! Hee!
"I think I'll give trusting you a try, Mr. Prosecutor...or rather, Mr. Edgeworth." Nnnnnnnghhhhhhh!
Dude. DUDE. Edgeworth solves crimes with the power of HIS FANBOYING. DUDE!!!
"You have no right to call yourself a Steel Samurai fan, ever!" Good GOD, this is surreal.
Gasp! Edgeworth, are you just gonna stand there and let that tree guy call the Steel Samurai a kids' show? It's on now, Quercus!
"(In a situation like this...what would that man do...? What would he who can turn any desperate situation around do...?)" It's kind of amazing that no matter what kind of incredible adventures Ace Attorney protagonists have, no matter what intelligence and ingenuity they already possess, no matter what kind of personal growth they experience, in the end it all comes back to one simple question: What Would Wright Do?
"Lang Zi says...Ferocious love blooms with each spring." Uh, is Lang hitting on Edgeworth? "Well, that and something else. I want to see you in action in court." Gasp!
Haha, Gumshoe prepared ticker tape for the trial! Yay for apocrypha becoming canon!
Woo, epilogue! So this is what that seriously awesome orchestral track was based on! Franziska is going to Cohdopia! I wonder if Adrian will like it there. Aww, is this when Meekins gets fired? Poor Meekins. Hee, he calls Edgeworth the ruffles man! The judge is going to team up with a bailiff and become a lawyer! Because he...isn't one already, I guess? Awwwwww, Maggey got fired but she still has Gumshoe!!! Oh no, Larry hasn't seen Phoenix in awhile! I wonder if this means that the epilogue takes place post-disbarment? Ha, Badd just pretty much called Lang a whippersnapper.
Kay is going to form a three-person team of young beauties like her? So, like, Ema? And, like, Maya or Franziska?
Uh, what was it that Edgeworth can't be seen doing? Being in a picture? I was totally expecting the Steel Samurai to be involved somehow. Well, whatever.
Oh, Ace Attorney Investigations. You are amazing and I love you.
