This thing is the most excruciating thing to replay in SoJ. It feels so DD-esque, with the investigations that hardly help you and the useless court days with a terrible witness which doesn't help uncover anything and FOUR MODERATO TESTIMONIES IN A ROW I MEAN HAVE YOU NO SHAME?! Rayfa I think is the only redeeming part of a good deal of this case because I just want to fall asleep during the rest of it.

Though not all of it is bad. The parts in the palace and the rebel hideout were tolerable (though I still despise Datz and maintain that Larry is worse than him) and the second trial day is interesting, especially after Tahrust is channeled. I actually do like what they were trying to do with the story here- show don't tell, unlike DD's garbage attempt at one. The emotional impact of the "breakdown" is something else too, and I like the rather somber ending. Animations are really nice this time as well.

So overall, this case…just skip over first investigation/trial. Then it'll get…slightly better, I guess.
