This image has a lot of power to it in my opinion.
Seeing as How Layton was inspired by Phoenix, this must make the people at Level 5 really happy.
Man, the final trial for this game had me stuck to the screen the entire time.
The end when they pretty much said that Phoenix's appearance in Labyrinthia was a fluke and that they only intended for Layton to show up, that had me laughing for a while.
I have to admit, all I could think when I saw that picture was "Kiss him, you fool".

Also, I know Maya is joking, but did anyone else think this joke was kind of fucked up on her part?

other than that, I don't think I can say anything more that everyone else hasn't already said. Looking around I think most of the things I wanted to say have been said.

It's an insult to me, if anything. "Phoenix Wright, but better" It's like saying entirety of Phoenix's character and identity is a "bad aspect" of his character.
Well, not.

Well basically the entire game was Layton showing up Phoenix and making him look substantially more foolish than himself.

It was destined to happen. Hino of Level-5 has admitted that he views Takumi as an archrival. Takumi, meanwhile, has made no comment about it.
Phooey, it's been almost 2 years now and I still haven't found fanart of Layton in some way or another trampling on Phoenix. This is the stuff you'd think would have shown up by now.

Professor Layton and the Unwound Future (Lost Future)
Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask
Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy
That's who he is.
It may surprise people to know he's gone through a lot himself, and the events of his unusual past shape him into the person he is today. I understand if some aren't a fan of that person, but I honestly don't know what to say when people perceive Layton's presence in PLvsAA as somehow being a threat to everything Phoenix is. I never saw it that way, and I don't care what Hino or whoever has to say about "improving upon Phoenix's bad points." IMO, he's either talking out of his ass, is deliberately being vague for the lulz, or played through almost ½ of one Gyakuten Saiban game, decided that was all Phoenix was and was ever going to be, and used that as a starting point. It's just stupid to say Layton is 'that character,' just better. It's a completely different character! Anyone who says such a thing probably never understood Phoenix's character to begin with.
And what is considered a "flaw" or a "bad point" anyway? Is it laziness? Is it lack of book smarts? Is it crazy devotion to the ones you love, or keeping a cool head at all times? Depending on what it is, there are people who would either see it as a positive, or see it as setting the stage for a more positive outcome.
Layton himself is not without flaws. Maybe PLvsAA doesn't do a good job of getting that across, but it's not like Layton woke up one day and said, "Screw this, I'm gonna be an archaeology professor and go on adventures and drink tea like a gentleman! Kiss my puzzle!" He went through some shit. His experiences with certain people and the loss of those people are what drove him to go into archaeology, become a professor and be a gentleman. Maybe in that way, Layton shares some qualities with Phoenix (in the sense of "what inspired his career path"...it was good friends), but it doesn't make him the same character or some "better" version of him.
Oddly, if there were a character that resembles Phoenix with polished up points, I would say

Does anybody know if there was an alternate game over sequence if the penalty bar gets depleted after...

Bit of a shame really, I know Dual Destinies altered it's Game Over sequence several times towards the ending depending on how events changed.

The usual...lalalala...guilty...lalala....into the fires of judgement with you, then the camera zooms back. In a normal courtroom this would end with the court doors closing on the screen and "Guilty" being shown but it's a bit more sinister. Instead you see the 'iron maiden' coffin thing shutting as if you are inside it. So you see the 'screaming' face embellished on the inside of the coffin.

It's pretty disappointing. I would've liked multiple bad ends. The same thing happens in 3-5. If you can't disprove Iris' claim that Maya is the murderer, Iris gets the guilty verdict. Also, at the end its concluded that the killer is either Maya or Godot. Failing gives Iris the guilty verdict

D'aww man you captured my favourite bit of the game

Oh, would you care to elaborate on that? Are there any in the first two games?

Hmm...not as many as I remember. I do remember being particulalry unsettled by Curious Village first time around, though, and Diabolical Box made no sense but nothing was creepy about it
PLvAA takes the cake, though. I don't think I need to elaborate on that
