Now to hope that the later games make a mention of what happened to all the Kurain people and the rest of the old cast (not in full-on roles like Nick and Ema, but just little blurbs about what they're doing so that everyone excited about them can be put to rest, and maybe minor roles for, say, Pearl or Maya).

It's definately great news. I wonder what global sales will be like, if this any indication.

No kidding. This may very well be a promise for more sequels at this rate.

While this is totally rad, I hope that such success treats the series well.

Can't say I really like where this is going though, with the sales going up while the quality of the game going down at the same time.

These things happen... we'll see if GS4's quality was bad by GS5's quality. If it's as "bad" as GS4, or just a bit better, the series will have lost it's charm.

If GS4 is the black sheep of the series, we'll be in the clear! At least, we're not like those Fallout 3 fanboys. Ugh, they're like a cult.

Didn't Phoenix more or less win 2-3 without any help? Unless you call Maya's outburst to give them a moment to think about where the weapon was. Under that same thought you could argue he won 1-4 without any help as well.

2-3, maybe, but he would have lost 1-4 twice if not for 1) Larry taking the stand and 2) Maya grabbing the evidence he needed.

Let's take a look!

Spoiler: Game 1
Mia held Phoenix's hand all through Case 1

Mia pointed out the receipt to Phoenix, and presented the list that ultimately made Redd confess.

Edgeworth stopped Dee from being dismissed, and helped Phoenix get to the truth.

Larry took the stand AFTER a Guilty verdict had been read. Maya grabbed the DL-6 bullet that saved Edgeworth the second time.

Edgeworth was again on Phoenix's side in case 5 and helped him through the case.


Spoiler: Game 2
Um...I think Phoenix pretty muchdid case 1 himself...? Case 2 and 3 too, maybe, I can't think of anything big at the moment (other than Mia's usual guidance).

Case 4, Gumshoe and Franziska saved the day. He also would have "lost" if not for Edgeworth helping him stall for time.


Spoiler: Game 3
Gumshoe helps in 3-3, but Phoenix does do okay on his own. Except for 3-5 where he was...well, hospitalized and had Edgeworth bail him out.


So...if you consider GS4 on the same level as GS1, Odoroki is receiving about the same amount of help Phoenix originally did. As players it can be frustrating for us because we've finished three games already - we don't need that help. But Odoroki is new, and when you consider how much GS4 is selling, a lot of the people playing it are new to the series as well. Takumi did warn us ahead of time that the game would be easier. Without making the cases duller, the only way to do that is to give you more help.

I wish Odoroki could be a little more independant as well, but I remember wishing the same thing about Phoenix.

It feels different. Naruhodou got some help at the right time, Odoroki can't do anything at all by himself.

Its as Ryu says (atleast for PW 1 and 2), Phoenix usually did everything on his own till he got to a part where someone else gave him the push or the evidence needed to figure things out on his own.

There's also the difference between the game holding your hand a little bit and the game wrenching the controls away from you and doing it FOR you. (Yes, I will never get over 4-2. Sal )
Spoiler: 4-2
My feeling of pure irritation when the game had MINUKI say the entire problem with the placement of panty thief when I already figured it out. And then the cornered music played and I'm just WTF GAME? WTF? It would be like, if instead of saying nonsense gibberish like "think outside the box", Mia was like "Oh, I know what's wrong. Here, let me explain in detail to the court."

Maybe, but doesn't 4-3 make up for that a little? I'm in the second day of court, and Odoroki's pretty much owning everyone right now.

Though I still have at least one more witness to go~

Spoiler: don't read till you're done with 4-3
Nope. It's Kyouya to the rescue again, just like in 4-2.

Spoiler:
Even so, I think the point is Odoroki is more or less winning most of the case on his own, most cases in PW 1 and 2 had atleast one or two parts where someone else had to step in and save the day, but overall Phoenix usually showed just how awesome he is on his own.

No.......Odoroki still kinda pwns Shoe

Kinda seemed like once the last witness came on the stand Kyouya figured it out. But it's not like he led Odoroki by the nose.

He's still less annoying than Mia, imo~

You're kidding, right? The trial had practically ended with a loss for Odoroki already (thanks to the fact that he doesn't even know how stuff works) when Kyouya then wins the case for you. If actually wanted to win just one of the three cases, he could with no problem at all. Mitsurugi did something similar once, but then was replaced by Karma. Mei and Godot wanted to win all the time through.

[spoiler]I just finished the case last night, I remember how it happened. Kyouya may have figured it out first 'cause he's familiar with all the players and features of the case, and he sure did give hints ("SOMETHING SOUNDS ODD ABOUT THAT *WINK*) but it was Odoroki that finished it off.[/spoiler]

I still hold it's not that much more than Mia gave you throughout PW:AA. Certainly not as aggravating as Mia's "Check out this list, which renders the entire trial thus far meaningless" stunt in 1-2.

Especially considering that reading said list would be considered blackmailing Redd White into admitting guilt... making it irreceivable testimony.

But I guess Edgeworth didn't think THAT far ahead.

Let's not talk about 1-2. ^^;; That damn wiretap alone still sends me into a ranting frenzy. (Goddammit, Edgeworth! You're supposed to be the evil prosecutor and you don't even point out that you only have the defense's word on where it was found?! FOR ALL YOU KNOW HE WENT TO A HARDWARE STORE AND BOUGHT IT. THAT THING SHOULD HAVE BEEN THROWN OUT THE SECOND IT WAS INTRODUCED! ARGH!)

That's always the same in all 4 games. They never question if the piece of evidence you just presented is real, even if the police missed it.

Well, Godot did in 3-2, but yeah. I don't know why the wiretap bothers me so much; there are other examples. It's just the only one that sends me into a frothing rage.
