The only character development I recall is from Edgeworth. I don't remember it being that funny, but it's been a while since playing so I'll take your word on that. I never really liked Maya so the interactions don't add much to the case for me. The monkey blocking the head was annoying (and could've been explained if they added some electric fences near the head. Also, this was the third inanimate object that told time in this game) but I also really hated the steak plate. "It takes fifteen minutes to eat a steak so I can't be the killer." WHAT? Who takes fifteen minutes to eat a t-bone? What kind of dumb alibi is that? And people thought it was credible? They also could've explained the missing steak bone by saying they burned the bone after eating the meal.

I can't believe Von Karma got away with that explanation

Honestly for me the entire game of Justice For All, I get a lot of flack for putting the game itself so high on my best Ace Attorney game list.

JFA isn't that bad. Okay, Case 2-1 should have become a mistrial during the preliminary (YOU CAN'T WRITE ANYTHING IF YOU BROKE YOUR F***ING NECK!), Case 2-2 was okay, although a bit predictable... 2-3 has its problems, having a sympathetic murderer, but failing at really making me care for him... and 2-4... well... good message, terrible execution for me... but it's still an overall decent game.

I know, right? The thing about the broken neck should have been the contradiction, but instead the game thinks that a misspelled name is the bigger contradiction! I tried several different points in the testimony to point out that contradiction, because I assumed that's what you had to do! Ace Attorney logic is insane.

Do people *hate* Turnabout Airlines? I've never heard positive things about it but it's actually a pretty damn good case

If it wasn't for Zinc Leblanc, that case would be enjoyable, but his presence ruins the whole experience. Zinc Leblanc is my least favorite character in the entire series. He has absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever, and is completely devoid of anything likeable. He's ugly, he's arrogant, he's annoying, his damage animation makes me want to gouge my eyes out, I hate hate hate hate HATE that guy!

And I've brought it up before, but I love Rhoda. They didn't give her some complex backstory where her father was sucked in a jet engine or something like that

I love every Ace Attorney case.

Thank you, Chloe. I see my side of opinions is covered.

After struggling plenty long enough with writing a case myself, I have to commend even the ones I didn't like as much. They're still impressive mysteries in their own right, and that's usually the most annoying bit to outline and later apply in the game. Sure, one can come up with mysteries easily, but it's not so simple to come up with a good or practical one, or even a convoluted Xanatos gambit...

I have to admit: there is not one case I've played where I didn't enjoy at least some scenes. I complain all the same about each of them from time to time, but they're nothing compared to what I can praise about each of them.

Wait, I don't get how in 2-1 he somehow thinks what it means to be a lawyer. I mean... he has no memory, so he only does what he thinks a lawyer does. Gets the guilty guy to confess.

...honestly when I hear Phoenix Wright, I think gullible idiot with no balls...

How can you honestly say he has no balls?! Would a guy with no balls run across a burning bridge to save his friend?! I think not! You say he has no balls simply because he actually cares about Maya and doesn't want her killed by De Killer, he's just a caring person, not a sociopath like you!

You completely ignored the point I was making. How can you honestly say he has no backbone when he is willing to risk his life by running across a burning bridge?! I find that you completely ignore the points people make that you have no way of rebutting, as you refuse to lose an argument! And watch, your next post will focus entirely on that last sentence and still completely ignore the fact of the burning bridge.

I HATE it when people offer their own lives for somebody else's! Those type of people seem to lack all sense of self-preservation. FUCK running over that stupid burning bridge, Maya was FINE over there. She got herself some help in form of summong Mia to prevent Dahlia from trying to reappear and try to kill her again. There were blankets. Pillows. Dry clothes she could've changed into and all. She wasn't in THAT much trouble. She didn't need Phoenix to somehow think he had to help.

Phoenix: The murderer might have fled across the bridge! I have to make sure Maya is safe!

Yes, it turned out futile, but that was his mindset at the time. Don't even tell me he should have thought things through without looking at the circumstances. He was woken up in the middle of the night, found a dead body, ran a fifteen-twenty minute walk to Dusky Bridge, and found it lit on fire. No one not even you would be in a state that allows rational thought.

Actually, screw this scene. The only reason for this scene was an excuse to bring back Edgeworth for obligatory fanservice.

The difference is that when it comes to fires of that scale most people know what to do. You might not be mentally prepared for it, but you hear time and time again what you should do should one appear. Waking up to find a corpse in the yard, being cut off from your best friend with no way of making sure they're okay and knowing there might be a killer somewhere in the location though isn't something you learn how to handle in school.

Also, Maya can channel people. Push comes to shove, she could channel someone with bear arms and beat the crap out of someone.

This is why I don't have friends Again, Phoenix could've at least tried to think a bit more rationally. It's not that difficult to do... well, it is for PHOENIX, but overall it isn't. Also, hasn't Phoenix seen a dead body before *coughdougcough*
And Edgeworth being in the case is like the only good thing about this case.

I give you five years before you turn out like Adachi.
When put under stress, people don't rely on rational thought to get them through. They rely on their first instinct. We're humans, not anti-shadow weapons with personas.
Also, Phoenix didn't see Doug's dead body, he was alive when he left. No, he didn't perceive it as a dead body. Although he did see Grey's dead body, so you still have that.

The original argument was that Phoenix had no balls. It doesn't matter if his instincts were rational or not. He ran across a burning bridge
