I've played JFA possibly more then T&T and AJ so I'd have to say this case really has a lot of fun moments in.
As cool as it was to have Edgeworth prosecute, it just seemed like he was added as a cliché when I think Franziska should have prosecuted instead.
Matt Engarde, was a very interesting defendant with his dual personalities much like

and Adrian is one of my favorite characters and definitely should have replaced Lotta.
Lotta is the only thing besides Oldbag and Edgeworth's anti-climatic appearance that I didn't like about this case, and it still remains one of my top three cases of the Ace Attorney Series.
Well done Capcom!

Yes, this is my second favorite case. Only one I liked better was 1-5, but that was mainly because of Ema, Jake and Gant.

I loved Matt. Dual personality characters in general are my favs. I hate to love Dalhia...and I loved to hate Adrian...
My 2nd fave case as well.

2-4 is my most favorite case of all time! D: JFA was the first PW game I got so I was totally unprepared for that case. I thought the second case was shocking enough! When Matt was "revealed" my jaw literally dropped. O_O And the last day of the trial had me glued to the screen. I still like it after playing it again, even if the shock factor was gone.

2-4 is my second favorite case after 1-4. In terms of story and characters, it was amazing on all fronts except Edgeworth. He just appeared annoying and preachy and it devolved his complex character from 1-4. The court sequences were the most polished, and, thanks to the splitting up of long investigations, it paced iteslf better overall. It was also properly difficult -- JFA is known to be easy except when obtuse trial and error is involved, but this case remained extremely challenging (and not unfairly so) after the first trial. I wish there were more new characters and Oldbag was gone, however.
And did Adrians emotion seen more melodramatic than human? The writing around her depression was not done well enough by the standards of :edgeworth:

Yeah, JFA was my first game too and, trust me, I felt the same way. :shelly:

JFA was a pretty mediocre game overall cuz it only had 4 cases
and two of them were ridiculous
but 2-4 just revived my hopes after playing the first three

Well, so did the original before it came to America.

And AJ had that as well. :maggy:

This case was EPIC. Every time I see a radio I think. "De Killer..?" Literally, but I loved how you can cross-examine a radio!! Especially one that can move by itself.
Though, where the heck does a wine glass come from?? That's a mystery right??

Before i did the case i knew maya got kidnapped and that was all and even now when i pick wheather adrain is guilty or not guilty i still find it hard

2-4 is by far my favorite in the entire Ace Attorney series. I even liked it better than 3-5. I just thought it was so dramatic, and I loved the characters. I kind of wish Franziska would have prosecuted instead, because I would have loved to see how she would handle the whole thing.

Okay, time to spoil the party! :D

I think 2-4 is the worst case in the entire series. I mean, not by itself, but it was the last case in JFA, and I expected something good.

I have a whole rant about 2-4 ready, but I'll abridge it. There is 2 main points:
1. Everything is spoiled.
-In the beginning, Gumshoe says that there's a ton of evidence against Matt, like someone planted it and framed him.
-Then, as soon as you mention 'de Killer' to Matt, Matt stops being an idiot, as if he has some connection to the murderer.
-Later, when it starts to get apparent that Adrian "did it", she starts to freak out, like she's actually innocent.
2. It's extremely tedious.
As soon as Adrian shows up, all the trials are tedious. It takes forever to convince Adrian to speak, and was just boring. Then, the entire second day of the trial was utterly boring and tedious. I mean, you weren't even trying to prove anything--you were just stalling for time! The entire case had already been solved, when the most exciting part of each case is usually the end of the last trial, when you piece everything together.
