If it's on Edgey's desk, it could have something to do with GK2, or probably something GK-related. Maybe a book or manga or movie (or opera?) about Edgey solving a series of cases known as "The Witch Trials"? |

I doubt AAI 2 and the new one will be out at the same time. AAI 2 will probably late this year or early next and this new game will be out around this time next year. I have a feeling that if they are collaborating with Level 5 they'll have something special like having the court room sequences done with full voice to take advantage of the 3DS's capacity. However I cringe to imagine the wait on the localization of something like that. As for Majo Saiban I doubt it'll be the new title and they'll have new characters. And as Much as I'd like to see an Umineko crossover Phoenix trying to explain the nonexistance of magic with his dead mentor guiding him on seems a bit contradictory. |

The name "The Witch Trials" sounds so good as a title, especially for a series of cases. Yeah, maybe it'll be a novel... |

A novel (not a manga)? That would be kinda interesting - considering AA is like a visual novel, rather like one of those Choose Your Own Adventure books :D |

Personally, I'm more hyped about the quickly denied tweet. After all, Information you're not supposed to have is always more interesting then what they spoon feed you. Although, I'm not, as of yet, convinced that Level-5 is related to this project. |

Yeah, I'm not 100% certain it's his desk, but if it's the desk of anyone we know, then it would most likely be his. A roll of parchment would be easier to explain (evidence of some sort?) than explaining why there's a quill and inkwell on Phoenix's desk, for instance. The candle seems out of place for it being Edgeworth's desk, too. I like the Edgeworth's desk theory for the fact that the quill would be a cool hint if they were going for leaving hints in the image, and it might tie in with other theories about the "witch trials" being related to Misty Fey and DL6. I would be surprised to see Edgeworth digging into something related to that case on his own as a personal project, and I like the idea of the witch trials having to do with Kurain. A novel is a really cool idea, I'd love that. They've done manga plenty of times now, so it would seem weird for them to make such a spectacle of this if it's something they've done before. A game seems improbable because they've been really careful about not marketing multiple games at once. |

I'm inclined to call it a clever marketing technique to glean inerest in a game that has NOTHING to do with the series but is aimed at a similar audience...I just can't buy it being anything Phoenix/Edgeworth/Attorney related. And no, Witch Trials is NOT enough to bait me into that argument either...needs more evidence. |

But Columbus didn't voyage to America for another 800 or so years after that. There wasn't a Salem to have trials in during the Dark ages. Sorry to burst YOUR bubble, but I meant 1600s. My mistake.

I'm interested in the exact meaning/connotations of the word translated as 'witch'. Does it really mean the fantasy lady riding around on a broom [or someone who similar paranoia springs around], or the more general 'dissident' we want to eliminate in a witchhunt. Don't assume it's in Salem just because it's a 'witch trial'. The witchhunt/demonisation/scapegoat phenomenon has occurred throughout history, a great way to dispose of people whose ideas or ideals or individuality might be 'dangerous'. Joan of Arc, Galileo, Pythagoras, 'ritual' stonings, McCarthyism, the Holocaust (well that was scapegoating, and a witchhunt is targeted at an individual, but it's a similar phenomenon) et al. And this could end up being a letdown like a char (Edgeworth to tie in with GK2?) making a very small cameo in some other franchise's anime/game etc. Quote: Witches=magic=magicians=troupe gramarye. Gramayre = Trucy Wright = Apollo Justice This game is AJ2! No, everyone knows magicians are fake, nobody would brand them with evil supernatural powers the way 'witch trial' indicates. But who knows, Apollo could be making the cameo. Maybe Kristoph is tried as a demon? (Or not. But they did go on about him being 'the devil'.) The Feys are the obvious target of a supernatural witchunt since they have um, canonic supernatural powers, but I'm not confident they want to return to the Feys. Still, could be our prequel with Misty and Mia, which sounds a lot easier to write than Maya or Pearl being burned at the stake post AJ. |

Saiban does mean "court" though. Gyakuten means "turnabout" or "to turn the tables". |

The first announcement was "Gyakuten XX," but the witch trial thing is "__ Saiban."Gyakuten means "turnabout" or "to turn the tables". Makes me think they're not the same thing. It's awesome to see that this new thing probably has to do with Edgeworth('s desk) after all (as opposed to something from a past century)... and I'll gladly believe the novel theory.  (As long as it gets translated! D=)...And, gaaaah, that on-and-off text is getting really annoying!!  I haven't been keeping track of the times myself, but, going by a terribly rough estimation based on the C-R posts... It first disappeared before 3AM on the 12th, and reappeared by 7PM that evening. Maybe it's gone during the daytime and there during the nighttime? ...*1-1 flashback* Wait -- time zone differences, duh~! Japan is 17 hours ahead of C-R's standard time (hope I got that right), so that would mean it disappeared before 8 PM on the 12th and reappeared by noon on the 13th. ...So maybe it's actually there during the daytime and disappears at night...?  *more confused than before*It was gone again by 1AM on the 13th (in Japan, 6PM on the 13th) ... and, I don't know if it changed any between then and now, but... It's now approximately 10:30AM Oct. 14 on C-R and 3:30AM Oct. 15 in Japan... and the text is still gone... Spoiler: Summary schedule, using Japanese times: |

Letters still gone. Don't know if they had reappeared while I was gone, but they aren't there right now. And I still think that, whatever this is, it most certainly concerns the Feys. My wildest (but still sensible) guess is that, in this new media, Edgeworth is writing a book about Misty Fey's life after DL-6, until the time of her death. After all, it concerns Miles' own past, something I still want the series to explore. And after 3-5, he probably wanted to know where Misty really was and what she was doing before getting killed. It's clear to all of us that DL-6 left a huge impression in Miles' mind, so it wouldn't be surprising if he did that. But who knows what this is. It could still be an announcement regarding GK2's main storyline (which could concern the Fey clan), since all we know is it concerns a book, somebody writing something, the words "Majo Saiban", and the "???x???", um, label :/ Also, trying to find a meaning in the times when the text's on and off is just silly. I think it's just Capcom playing with us. |

In reference to tracking the appearance and disappearance of the title, no harm no fowl. I say the worst that can happen is that it's a waste of time. The best is that we can un-earth a pattern. It's not like the fandom has anything better to do at this point. |

Assuming that the version of the book with the title on the front is correct, a book on the Fey's wouldn't work. The Fey's are eastern. The book is western.

Yes, Edgy does have a quill, a tray, and a bottle of ink. He also has a computer and a phone. You could make the case that those items are off screen, but that doesn't make it any less suspicious to have only items that are obviously archaic in nature. ...Never mind that Edgy's ink tray has a slot for his quill.

I'm gonna try and narrow it down: .....a.)it takes place when people began using those sort of writing tools .....b.)it takes place before they stopped using those sort of writing tools .....c)it takes place in the present time of GK2 in a place where someone uses those writing tools .....d)it takes place after GS4 in a place where someone uses those writing tools Also, something on the personal side~ Is it just me, or do I imagine Shelly DeKiller using those types of writing tools? |

Probably not related but i have seen a japanese dorama whose name is Maijo Saiban. It was in tv last year. While i was seeing the dorama i thought that it was very similar than a case of Gykuten no sabain, . I don,t know if the dorama was a success or not, nevertheless it,s very usual in Japan to see adjustments of the manga to the video game or videogame to manga. In any case it,s strange to see a new gykuten,s game after the annuncement of Gykuten Kenji 2. Maybe a new plot? with new characters, time and places? I can,t wait to discover what it is. PD:Forgive my mistakes, i have to practise more my english or ultimately i will finish forgetting it. |
