It was a joke in 2-1? I thought it was serious in 2-1 too with all that music and such.

It was just a stupid dream. It was really funny (for me) that Nick dreamed such a thing with the giant Judge and all.

The magatama sorta connects all the cases together except 2-1... Nick learns how to use it more during the game.

Yes, JFA has a story.



So yes, JFA has a story, it's just not as "obvious" as the other games. It is about Edgeworth and Franziska and what it means to be a prosecutor and a defence attorney.

The reason I like this game the most is because it doesn't involve some past incident. That and the fact that the humour and the music is better than in the first game.

I hope you understand my english because I was very tired when I wrote this.

I liked JFA, but if I had to choose, it would be my least favourite GS-game.

As for the plotline:

---

it IS connected, think about it
all the defendant's names start with 'Ma-'
1-maggey
2-maya
3-max
4-matt

Not surprising at all. By the time the hype had ramped up in the US about how good these games were, it was very hard to find the first game. I know -- I saw a ton of good reviews right around the release of JfA, and only saw it in the stores. (and, amusingly enough, by the time I tracked down a copy of PW1, JfA was the one that was hard to find, so I ended up importing it because it was cheaper even with shipping to buy the Japanese greatest-hits version new than a used copy of the US one.)

JfA's my least favorite of the original trio, but it's not because of the lack of connections. Several of my favorite cases are the unconnected (or only loosely connected) ones. I really like 2-3, myself, although I could do without Ben & Trilo. JfA just doesn't have any of my top-top-favorite cases -- I like 2-4, and I see what they were trying to do with the storyline, but it just falls flat for me. And it's shorter (yes, I know 1-5 was added later, but I'm talking about my experience as an American who'd never heard of the series until the DS remakes) than all of the others -- AJ is only four cases but they're longer And it has my least-favorite music. (Note: not saying it's BAD, just least-favorite. Different composers, different styles, not my thing.)

Then again, when I just want to replay a little? I usually end up playing one of the JfA cases because then I don't feel the need to replay the whole game.

I thought JFA was building up for T&T
