Whist looking at the new female character (the one with her back turned), I noticed something intriguing in her hair. A key. The way the scans are showing her, seems like she'll be one of the main characters. Okay maybe not as much as Edgey and Gumshoe, but she strikes me as the person who shows up unexpectedly or something.

Anyway about the key... Many have argued that this girl could perhaps be linked to the Fey Clan, is Maya or a relative of her, somehow linked to spirit channeling, or not at all etc. But that key really glares at me, I mean no one has walked around with a key in their hair before like this. That key must have some sort of purpose.

My guess is that 'psycho' locks return.
Spoiler: 3-5
Edgey's familiar with Psycho Locks and has worked with them before.


Course Nicky still has the magatama with him, but what if there was a different way to see Psyche Locks and to unlock them? A new system or a system similar to Psyche Locks maybe? You tell me.

Could be I guess.

:edgeworth: : I need your hair key!

???? : NO! I'm not gonna help you!

:edgeworth: : *Grabs her by the hairkey and directly unlocks psocho locks with them

???? : OW That's it! *Stabs Edgeworth*

:edgeworth: *Lifebar goes down*


Hmm, Okay, that's just silly.


But you might be right, it does seem like something they might bring back, what with this being a interrogation/investigation game

Actually...it's a kind of very popular hair decoration in ancient Asia...they are also used to fix hair. They can be in different shape and different size, includes a key-shape one...

And it's still popular now...I think.

I doubt if Edgey had learned about Psycho Locks before 3-5, because he seems to be really shocked the first time he saw them.

Well I doubt that the magatama that Phoenix has is the ONLY one in the world. I can prove that, too *presents her own magatama* TAKE THAT! Maybe Miiiiiles has one of his own, now? I highly doubt it, but just throwing it out there.

Spoiler:
Isn't this game supposed to be set during PW:AA? (between 1-1 and the start of 1-4) :knock-knock: If it is, then we can't have any Psyche Lock mechanic because edgeworth first encounters them in 3-5, which takes place about 2 years after PW:AA.

Unless they retcon it, of course!

Really? Dammit. I thought the game would explain what happened to Edgey bettween T&T and Apollo Justice. :payne:

@Tuesday: I am aware that some Asian folks wear those in their hair. But why does it have to be a key exactly? It could be anything else, that's what I'm getting that.

@NinjaMonkey: I don't even know anything about the timeline anymore. One person says it takes place in AA 1, the next says between TAT and AJ... I just don't know.

If I recall the translation topic, the reason people were getting the idea it was set during the 1-1 - 1-4 time period was because the topic said something like "Control the prosecutor from the firast game" However, from the rest of the traslation, it pretty much looked like it would take place during T&T time.

i dont get why there is "definite" proof of anything except who the two main characters are and that there is that new chick. thats it.

and i really think that the only thing that could make sense at this point is it being between THE HUGE GAP OF TIME THAT WE HAVE NO IDEA WHERE EDGEWORTH IS!! there is nothing left for us to discover about him or the events of this universe during the first game.

Torture?

....

.....what? :eh?:


I don't really see how they'd do Psyche-locks, unless they give Edgeworth a Magatama at some point or the other. Really, they could probably just make up a comparable system of negotiation, since the locks were just a visual representation of a person's mental resolve. Since I also got the impression that the Magatama didn't actually detect anything, and just reacted to Phoenix's intuition, you could probably easily portray it through his inner monologue.

how about we interrogate them? it's just a suggestion though.

You know, I could see this as a good chance for Edgeworth to trick the culprits into admitting guilt

No need to link it. It's been confirmed (or near-confirmed, anyway) that this is the Gyakuten Not Saiban project. The title says it all, man.

In what way?

Psycho Locks are nothing more then a representative of the 'locks' of a secret. They aren't actually there, they're a way of showing that the person has a secret 'locked up'. A physical object interacting with a mental object makes as much sense as waterfalls falling up.

Wasn't "Gyakuten Not Saiban" just a codename, the "Gyakuten" part wouldn't make sense if it wasn't in a courtroom.

Gyakuten is equaled to Turnabout.

You know that annual Gyakuten Saiban Meets Orchestra thing Japan had recently? They showe Gyakuten Kenji there, and I think the people on stage announced that there will be no trials.

Also, Gyakuten can be roughly translated into "Turnabout" or "Comeback". Saiban can be roughly translated into "Court" or "Trial". The project name for Gyakuten Kenji is "NEW Gyakuten NOT Saiban".

That completely contradicts 3-5.

Spoiler: 3-5
When the bridge was repaired and Phoenix went to the Training Hall, a visible an not to mention usable lock was sealed on the caged door, where everyone believed Maya was trapped inside. Using the magatama couldn't open it and it wasn't part of anyone's secrets. They had to fetch Iris to use a combination of spells just to open it. The combinations were almost endless.

In 2-2 (and some other cases, I believe), Phoenix often reacts to the locks, and nobody (except Pearl, but it seems to be her system, so she should be able to judge that the locks are there from Phoenix's reaction) seems to be able to see them, hear them (chains and the locks themselves being made), or indeed be aware of their existence. 3-5 might have some 'real' locks, but they are not the same as the 'Psycholocks' that Phoenix/Edgeworth see with the Magatama.

They look really different, judging from the evidence picture/sprite picture.

What Allan said. The "trick locks" in 3-5 are some sort of physical objects and they require special codes or combinations to unlock them (remember, they don't even have keyholes!). They are decidedly different and separate from Psyche Locks, just happening to look similar.

The Psyche Locks themselves are not physical objects at all, but rather visual manefestations of a person's secret, only visible to the one using the Magatama. No way would a physical key be used to unlock them.

They called it a Psyche Lock in 3-5. even that one.

Although I'll say this. I've noticed two appearance differences in the locks and chains. Locks that protect someone's secret, you can see a key lock on them. The lock in 3-5 didn't have the key lock, there was a white magatama in it's place. I'm pretty sure no one else has noticed that though...

As I said here, the ones in 3-5 were called trick locks, not Psyche locks. And yes, I noticed that they had Magatama symbols rather than keyholes.

No...I'm pretty sure most people noticed that. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's pointed out in the game itself. :yogi:

1. I forgot they were called trick locks. My bad.

2. I don't think I ever came across a point in the game where it said there was a key-hole difference between both locks. Forgive me.
