As a part of the forum-repopulation effort, I feel compelled to make a topic on the discussion of Case 4 and its awesomeness.

One of the reasons (I believe) Case 4 is one of the most fun (though I use it in a rough sense to encompass things like "dramatic", "emotional", and all-around "good") is its initial understatedness. When you start the case, it seems fairly standard. If you haven't read extensively about the game previously, you may fell that another case will finish off the game. And Case 4 does, initially, follow the "filler" format (think 1-3 & 2-3). Oh, a rip-off of the Steel Samurai killed someone and all that. Ho hum. Maya gets kidnapped? Guess they needed something to differentiate the case. You gather some evidence, talk to some witnesses - hey, that manager looks awfully suspicious... You meet Edgeworth, but he says he's not prosecuting this case (which itself foreshadows a Case 5). The game impresses on you that you only have one day to get a "Not Guilty"; this itself precludes the possibilities of a second day and more development.

The first trial, too, seems fairly generic, excluding de Killer's "present". It's longer than most, but that's just because its only one day, right? You get so close to a standard ending: Adrian confessing to the crime, everything being happy again. But you don't get your "Not Guilty" (But we do get a new Phoenix sprite, which itself is used very well (revealing it after the greatest disappointment in the game? WINNAR)).

But the best thing about Day 1 (including Trial 1, though, of course, that is day 2) is the general sense of unease. Enguarde, though he seems better than Max, is awfully evasive in answering the "Did you do it?" question. Adrian is much more sympathetic than the usual murderer (though that is a trend in JFA). The kidnapping of Maya is quite odd. There are just too many loose plot ends to resolve. And then it gets even more complicated on Day 2 (which is, as has been discussed before, simply epic).

Comments? Thoughts? "Get off the forum, U N00Bzzz 101z3z!!!!!!!11111"s? (As you might notice, this is my second post)

I thought the case started off awfully slow, and was actually prepared for it to be one of my least favourite cases. Then it just became great. I think I liked the whole thing with Maya; it made me sad. It almost takes my favourite case ever award, but I think I liked 1-4 or 1-5 better.

1-4 had more Edgy, and I liked that. And all the flashbacks, and the major plot twist.

1-5 just was great because of all the scientific investigation stuff.


But even though those are my favourites, 2-4 had to be one of, if not THE most emotional case in the series so far. Although I haven't played GS3.

What makes the 4th case so good is that it literally starts off backwards; for one thing, you're not defending someone to get that person off the hook, but to save someone else. At that, as you play deeper into the case it seems more and more like your client did do it, rather than the other way around.


Also, the sense of Déja Vu mixed into that. You're defending another Steel Samurai who's accused of murdering another actor, with the same alliby and even Wendy Oldbag herself appearing, also again a fan of the victim. Such a repeat itself is backwards, since something on such a grand scale in a case hasn't happened at all otherwise, which adds to that sense of things being (sort-of) backwards.


The sense of prolonging the trials to such an extent on purpose, not to mention defending someone who is actually guilty, all of it just combines to a fantastic conclusion that makes the case great.

I like how the case starts like a rip-of of case GS1-3 and then evolves in what is arguably the most original case in GS history (so far). And Engard scratching his face... Priceless!

I loved Case 4 because of the sheer emotional nature of it.

Phoenix doing everything he could just to save someone else in a completely selfless act; finally putting aside the resentment at Edgeworth and partnering up with him; fighting to get someone obviously guilty acquitted...

It had all the elements that I liked to see in a story.
Besides, my favourite part was as Phoenix tried in despair to keep the trial going; not to mention that Case 4 introduced some of my favourite characters, such as Adrian Andrews and that bastard, Matt Engarde.

What I enjoyed......

1) The presence of Edgeworth Edgywas obviously a huge plus. I had been going to Edgy withdrawal until case 4. (Don't judge me. I can quit whenever I want to.....I just don't want to!)

2) The return of Dr. Perversion Dr? Hotti. Too funny. "Oh, hoh hoh...You mean the little hottie with the whip!"

3) The kidnapping of Maya Maya Fey ! It made Case 4 so much more interesting and it kept you playing. You really wanted to see Maya safe (Well, most of us anyway).

4) The large amount of adorableness Pearl ! NUFF SAID!

5) The descent of Engarde Matt in Phoenix's eyes. He starts out seeming innocent. He is kind, but pretty stupid. Then ,WHAM, everything is revealed andMatt shows the awesome scars.

Sounds like I'm a bit in the minority of things, but personally I wasn't as impressed with 2-4 as I thought I'd be. I'm sure a lot of it had to do with the fact that I knew from the get-go who the real culprit was, so that part of the surprise factor was gone. And, although some people have claimed that they thought it really helped the tension, I really didn't like the "let's stall the trial as long as possible to help Maya" element of the case. It didn't feel like I was making any actual progress in uncovering the truth of things, so with each passing OBJECTION it just felt more and more like a waste of time. You knew that Maya wasn't going to die, and since you already knew what had happened, none of the "contradictions" found during the case ever really meant anything. Even the last presentation of the game wasn't uncovering a lie so much as pointing out a fact that de Killer wasn't aware of. So much wasted effort...though I did like the characters from that case.

I have to be the only one that hated this case with a passion.

While it WAS nice to see some old faces, it all just seemed....so....bleh.

The two trials just went on & on & on & on....and on the most pointless things. Cheap way to extend a trail. I felt no sense of urgency, or panic, over Maya being kidnapped. Just annoyed. & Matt should fall into a whole & die. Not because he was "evil", but because he was so god d*** annoying! Give me Turnabout Big Top any day.

The one good thing it did was bring back some old goodies(Oldbag, Lotta(again), & Will) and introduced Adrian, who I look forward to seeing in PW3. Could have cared less about Edgey.

I think perhaps the thing I most liked about case 4 is that it finally shed some light on how the legal system is supposed to work. The whole idea of a "perfect win record", present in the first game but emphasised further by Franziska in JFA, goes against the idea of a system of justice. But the way Edgeworth talks in this case, it actually works... with the right prosecution/defense. I'm sure Pheonix will be back to saving people in GS3.

But the dramatics were great too. As well as the "Adrian or Maya" element in the second trial, especially since it looked like Adrian was the criminal at first.

The only thing I really liked about case 3 were the bits that foreshadowed case 4. Some lines even look better in the light of case 4. How can we trust the words of the defendant, indeed.

I adored this case, mainly because it was so much more of an emotional rollercoaster than the previous cases - and you got to see that emotion in Phoenix - which we never really see because he's always calm and collected.

But I also liked the fact you could achieve a good ending, and a bad ending. If you messed up, Maya died. If you got it right, you got the happy reunion T^T

Though, it was painfully long - but that was probably because I just could not put down my DS whilst playing this case. i was so desperate to see what would happen.

I didn't particularly like this case either.

It just didn't connect to me on any kind of emotional level. I just didn't care about Maya's kidnapping or Phoenix's mounting despair. It all felt too fake and too forced. I kept getting the feeling that the writers wanted to say something with this case, but they never really managed to articulate just what the hell it was.

Gumshoe was a bright spot, though. He was totally awesome.

I thought it was about the relationship between Phoenix and Maya. All the way through the game Pearl is saying Phoenix is Maya's 'special person' or something along those lines. I figured it was heavily hinting at a Maya/Phoenix pairing - or that Phoenix has a profound fondess towards Maya, and it was all up to him to give a murder a 'not guilty' verdict, which goes against everything he originally stood for.

I wouldn't link it to Pearl's lines (though one plus is that her line at the end was great.) Plus, Maya told him to make sure he got a Guilty verdict.

It's not an ending. It's a glorified Game Over.

Well, there's only one ending, and that's when you win. The scene of Phoenix walking away after a Non-Guilty verdict is nothing more than a glorified game over screen. And even then, Maya doesn't die in that one, either, Phoenix just never sees her again out of shame.

A glorified game over, you say? Yes... that is why I called it a 'bad ending.'

And in regards to Pearl's lines, I think they do have some sort of base. Even if Phoenix and Maya aren't romantically attached with one another, I think it's pretty evident that they do care for each other a lot.

And, yes, Maya told him to get a Guilty verdict. But this was conflicting with Phoenix because if he got a guilty verdict, Maya would die. Hence his frustration at not being able to make the choice so easily and despairing over it. Either he gets Matt found guilty, and Maya dies, or finds him not guilty and Adrian dies, who is totally innocent. Either way, he wouldn't be able to live with himself.

Yeah, that's what Phoenix said ^^

Case 4 was just plain different from the others, I guess that's what makes it so fun.

I agree that Edgeworth's entrance at the beginning of Trial 1 is one of the high points of the game.

Edgy Thinks "The prosecution is ready... naturally!"

Calm, cool, and collected. That is Edgeworth at his best.

Another awesome point: Franziska's final entrance. I hadn't made the connection that it would be Franziska to find Gumshoe, so I was honestly surprised. Just when the tension has built up to an unbearable level and you have made your "final" decision as to whether you ask for "Guilty" or "Not Guilty"...

I liked it because, even though it was a GS1-3 rip-off, it still felt original, somehow... It was pretty much an emotional roller coaster ride, with the kidnapping and all that. The case wasn't as epicc as, oh, say, GS3-5, but it was still good.

Personally, I would think that even if you couldn't connect on an emotional level, seeing the way that Phoenix wound up resolving the case in the end was just...cool. For me, though, it definitely did have its emotional appeal.

The big spoiler concerning Matt just came straight out of left field for me. When he "changed" I burst out laughing at how stereotypical he was and how ridiculous the whole thing was, but I was also in awe that I never suspected a thing.

I was also really on the edge of my seat at the end of day 1. I honestly thought I had screwed up somewhere, and I was really close to restarting the case.

1. Maya gets captured.

2. Phoenix has to prove a GUILTY person NOT GUILTY in order to save Maya.

3. Gumshoe getting the three evidences (That part was just too good)

4. Edgeworth showing up.

5. Franziska gets shot.

6. It just is.
Let us dye the world in despair, and bring a dismal end to this fairy tale.

I'm pretty much the same opinion. I first liked the way Phoenix was forced to get the not guilty in one day, but when he didn't get it and we had to wait for the next day, I lost interest. It wasn't 24 enough.
And I think the case was incredibily short for some odd reason, may be just my imagination.

But I love the way Gumhoe's role expanded in the whole game. I love him even more today Eh? Darn! He is so adorable...

It was unique. When you think about, from every case until Case 4 of JFA Phoenix always assumed his client is innocent and would go all the way to prove that. Now here he is, thrown into a situation where not only is his client guilty, but he must prove him innocent regardless to save a close friend. It pushes Phoenix's morals to the edge as he makes a very difficult and mortal decision, for he holds a life in each of his hands and must choose who lives and who dies.

That and how it throws plot twists from here to next Tuesday at ya. Its done steriotypically yes, but they did it in a way that actually worked and thats why I love Case 4.

I never liked it that much, most likely because I got it spoiled before I played it....

And because I don't like Adrian. The least bit.

I liked the entire do-ot-diffrent-from-other-cases type of gameplay. Was nice.

I got spoiled too. That is to say, I knew that my client would be guilty, as well as that there would supposedly be a "bad ending", and I also knew the assassin's role in the whole thing. But, in a way, I think that almost made it better. It was really such a dramatic trial... it just was.

It is Adrian that has no Soul.

Adrian is (or was, rather) a heartless, arrogant, stupid oh-look-I-am-so-successful woman. There is a REASON why Phooenix press charges ageanst her. When she denies everything and basicly starts crying, I could almost laugh at her. I pity she wasn't found guilty, because her going all emo was completely unwanted, and was simply a waste of time. The only reason I later tried to prove her not guilty was for one reason alone to prove MATT to be guilty. And that she gives in to Franziska's whippin so fast? Is her personality really that weak? Really, put her in jail before she actually does commit a murder. I generelly found the seriousness arround Adrian's backstory to be one of the poorer moments in JFA.

Spoiler:
In GS3 she is simply your average girl. She's not without emotions, but she could just as well have been, as she doesn't play much of a role.


Oh, and I don't find her hot either.

Hmm. How to put this delicately...

Yes.

Adrian is not so much co-dependant as she is dependant. She needs others to tell her what to do. Well, she needs women, basically. I don't think she listens to men.

She used to depend on Celeste. And then Celeste killed herself.

Now without anyone to depend on and tell her what to do, Adrian first tried to kill herself and then became Matt's manager to try and discover the truth about Celeste. In order to be able to keep going without any form of support, she had to adopt what you call an air of 'heartless, arrogant, stupid successfulness'. She would not have been able to survive mentally if she hadn't.

And she gives in to Franziska so easily because she is (or presents herself as) a strong, capable woman. Someone Adrian can depend on. Which is rather important to her. Especially since she's been floundering loose for way too long.

So yes, Adrian is, technically, a weak woman. Incapable of surviving if left completely on her own.

But somehow I don't think that really justifies laughing in her face and wishing she gets imprisoned or sentenced to death for something she didn't do.

Owch dude. I mean really, thats pretty cruel. Its not like she was raised to be arrogant or grew up that way, she just had to act that way to stay stable unless she were to relapse and possibly try to kill herself again. She has a disorder and just cannot support herself, not everybody is strong and capable of doing that. And to want to laugh at her for her weakness isn't right.

The only reason I later tried to prove her not guilty was for one reason alone to prove MATT to be guilty. And that she gives in to Franziska's whippin so fast? Is her personality really that weak? Really, put her in jail before she actually does commit a murder. I generelly found the seriousness arround Adrian's backstory to be one of the poorer moments in JFA.


Oh, and I don't find her hot either.


Yeah... That's like... Making fun of a kid with a mental disorder.

Missing half of the dialoge really doesn't improve your likeness of the charrecters. Sadshoe

I was of course exaggerating my point. But that doesn't change the point that I don't like her and found the entire backstory a drag that I didn't even try and follow.

And I found the changing between fun and serious to be really odd. I mean, Harry Potter 4 movie odd. You don't know when to laugh and when to cry. So you do neither. And just skip through it.

I loved this case. While it started slowly, (I was completely bored during the first investigation,) it quickly grew to ridiculous proportions. Edgeworth was just...win. The whole time. I actually couldn't stop once the trial began. This was the only case in JFA that I was able to really...understand the case from all perspectives. I really liked Edgey's philosophical ramblings too, really makes you think.

Case four started out really, really slow. I had played straight on from Case 3 to the beginning of case four, and the sudden jump in emotion from: "Feel bad for Acro" to "Joy and dinner delight" didn't sit well with me. I expected the case to be something mind shattering right off the bat, since the game had used up most of it's 'filler' cases without anything really dramatic impacting a main character... (thumbs up to Capcom for investing in character growth!)

But Case 4 was a gem after all, even if it didn't start out with a bang like 1-4(no pun intended). I agree with Orca about everything seemingly tying itself up in backwards deja vu-- the thing that hooked me about Case 4 was that, as time went on, something just felt rotten in the state of Denmark. :>
And as you delved further and further, Phoenix dug himself deeper and deeper... until finally, the time came when he just couldn't put things off any longer.

... Priceless.
