So, what characters do you think are gonna show up? What area of the timeline is it going to be set, when it's going to be released? Crap like that.

Well since it's Edgey and Gumshoe, I imagine we won't get the GS4 characters.

In the first case you'll face Crydin Payne, Winston's defense attorney brother!

We'll probably get some evil defense attorneys who only want to win even with clearly guilty clients this time around.

It's unlikely we'll get any court phases given the NOT Saiban bit in the title though.

I think it will show what happened to the characters who didn't appear in AJ.

Not at all. The point-and-click formula works wonders when done right. Clock Tower for example. I imagine it'll entail questioning witnesses, finding evidence, and finding the murderer (or soon-to-be defendant) and taking them to court. And the sprite set up on the screen has changed, now being simliar to Trauma Center or that weird stock broker game.

The "Not Saiban" has me worried, as I'd love to condemn the guilty for a change. It also lends itself to Grossberg being the Case 1 Defense, and that would be epic within itself.

I'd just think it would be dissatisfying to play as a prosecuter and not, yknow, prosecute people.

Bring back all characters from 1, 2, and 3, have perhaps a new female defense attorney and prosecutor, a female judge....what else....

It would be cool to face off against Mia Fey. The game could take place before AA, which would be fun.

Something tells me Maya won't be getting a 'Not Guilty' verdict this time then...

Also, Playing as a prosecutor, Especially Edgeworth of all people, Sounds rather boring. The system -highly- favors them.

There'd be no 'Epic' Cases, Or Edgeworth would constantly seem like a joke with random rookie lawyers drawing out his cases.

If it does, I will be severly disapointed. I want it to focus around Phoenix, Mia, Edgey, and Franny, while bringing back all characters from the last three games.

i just thought of something: they're supposed to announce this game during the concert on the 20th, right? What if they decide to treat the fans there to some of the NGNS's new music? :pealshock:

...Well, I can dream, can't I?

Well, they put Trucy's theme on the Gyakuten Meets Jazz album which came out before GS4. So it's not a stretch to think that they'd do that. ;D

I was assuming the 'NOT Saiban' was in reference to the name. *shrug* Just because we haven't seen any pictures of trials doesn't mean there won't be.

Post subject:  Re: Obligatory Speculation Topic

The article in Famitsu says that the game takes place between cases 1-3 of the first game (while he's still Jerkworth) so I doubt we'll be seeing too many characters return from JFA or T&T. Though I guess a Mia cameo isn't beyond the realm of possibility.

Though, with such a short time frame (5 months at the most, if they run it up to 1-4, only 3 if they stop at 1-3), Edgeworth can't take too many cases. Plus, this game doesn't seem to have taken as long to develop as the other DS-intended AA games, so there's no telling how long it is, how in dept it will be... or is it just a fanserve tide-over until GS5?

Post subject:  Re: Obligatory Speculation Topic

Ah, so it's Jerkworth then? Still good stuff I guess. But the point and click adventures are usually pretty short games. Still, for a first go It looks quite promising, and there's no reason to believe if it does well Capcom wouldn't expand on it/make it longer/fiddle with it to make it even better in the enevitable sequals.

The only benefit I can see coming from this is that everyone who got fired in 1-5 will still be working on the force with Gumshoe and Edgey. :damon:

...wouldn't it be trippy if Goodman showed up after all this time? :0

Author:  Gerkuman [ Wed Apr 09, 2008 9:07 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Obligatory Speculation Topic

Of course, it could be that the cases are longer that the AA ones. Thus, there could be 1 to 3 larger cases. :)

D'awww, it's gonna be knickers-in-a-bunch Edgey D:
Oh well, It's still EDGEY. So I'm a satisfied little fangirl. And YAY for Gumshoe being at my beck and call. I look forward to comparing him to Maya and Trucy >D

Anyone who says Point-and-click is a bad game formula should go play Hotel Dusk. Right nao.

Post subject:  My predictions 4 da game

I'm gonna assume that:

. It'll be out in Japan round about Autumn (Thats fall to you pal! :eh?: ) or Winter & it will be out in USA/EUR round about Spring or Summer 2009.

. That if there was another one, it might have Klavier Gavin playable
Spoiler: AJ Case 4
And Kristoph would help you instead of Gumshoe


. Concerning its music, it would have brand new songs & some old favourites (but possibly in a AJ style)

. We could find out what happened to Edgeworth in the 7 year gap between T&T & AJ

. FALSIFYING EVIDENCE????!!

So whaddya guys think?

It seems that the game would almost have to take place with Jerkworth; he was hither and yon being... uh... 'dead' and whatnot elsewise.

Allow me to bring up this fine fellow.

His outfit makes him look like a pimp. His hair makes him look like he's related to Sakai. The way that he seems to be the one who gives you the supposed YoungKristoph's profile implies that he might be Gavin Senior. The blurbs around him have all sorts of ?!?!?, making him seem important. And his early sketch reminds me of Aloysius Minch from Earthbound.

Has the text in that pic been translated yet? :garyuu:

It must be Zenitora because I said so. :O

Jokes aside. >_> My only guess is that he's a new character. I hope to see Maggey, Meekins and maybe Dustin Prints. Judging by the nature of this game, you may see a lot more police characters than you did in the main series. At least I hope so.

It's kindda weird... I mean, now we know one of the murder scenes is in the building next to Wright's office, what were they doing there in the period of time? :eh?:

Jerkworth? Really? Aw... :sadshoe: Well, it's better than no Edgeworth, I guess.

I wonder how this is going to work out? Miles was, obviously, a jerk until 1-4 (and the end of 1-3, sort of), so there doesn't seem to be room for too much character development. Hmm... :yuusaku:

I assumed that Edgey still took cases in the States now and then after JFA/T&T, so it could've taken place after them.

I'm still hoping Ema's going to be in it in some capacity, if not as an assistant. She'd make for more interesting banter than Gumshoe, at least (and SCIENCE!).

At this point, it seems to me that it's set early on in the timeline - there was one interesting picture someone highlighted comparing the GS4 map to the location map in GK, indicating that at least one case in the game takes place in the "homeland" area surrounding the Fey/Wright and Co Offices.

If this game does well, I think they should make two more. One for Franny, Princess Prosecutor, and one for Godot, Vengeful Prosecutor.

A Godot one would make me explode. <_<

Hmmm...it would be interesting to play as Franny for a game...Godot I'm not really sure about I mean his whole storyline was wrapped up at the end of GS3 (that and he only took cases where Wright was the defense attorney)

Post subject:  Re: Obligatory Speculation Topic

All this talk about 'Jerkworth'...I think I have a slightly more optimistic possibility =P

I don't remember being told much about Edgeworth outside of court during 1-1,1-2, or 1-3. Perhaps the cases he takes during that time will result in more character development for him, and his slow but sure transition in personality. After the first court phase in I 'think' 1-3, Gumshoe tells you that Edgeworth was looking out the window, deep in thought and muttering Wright's name. Personally, I found that marked his 'visible' change, but its not impossible to think of things that happened between his battles with Wright that affected him even more. A case where it is revealed that Edgeworth has a love interest (oh please don't let it be Phoenix...) or must make an extremely difficult decision (like 2-4, not saying more) and his thoughts during the process would make quite an interesting bit of background info for our dear Edgey.

Post subject:  Re: Obligatory Speculation Topic

I think Oldbag, Franziska, and Maggey should be in this one. Phoenix and Maya are definitely a shoe-in.
