    It takes place during the DS remake of the first game.

    I'm pretty sure I'm the only person in the world who's favorite case of JFA was case 3. I liked everyone (except moe), and I came up with about 3 plausible theories on how it was done and who did it.

    Case 3-4 spoilers
    I actually thought the lion tamer girl did it at first, she killed her dad to make him a 'star', she had no idea what she was actually doing of course. Then I thought Maximillion actually did it, which kind of ruined case 4's surprise for me. I refused to believe it was Acro until I had no other choice in the matter. I figured out the method pretty early in a midcourt brainstorming session and was pretty pleased about it. I actually disliked the 4th case for some reason, but I really can't put my finger on why. I think I just disliked the actual case/mystery behind it, but enjoyed what it meant to phoenix on a personal level.

    Also, the Lion tamer girl was like, 15. Not cool.

    13?! WTF, Japan?

    Is that not also the age in Canada, or have I been horribly misinformed?

    I'm going to go with 'horribly misinformed'.

    o_O

    Canada's is 16.

    Is it now? I remember talks about increasing it to that from 14, but never kept up on it.

    You thought the lion tamer girl did it because they spent the first two and a half days setting it up so that she did do it, and then shifted gears at the last second to the completely random guy in a wheelchair.

    Perhaps you didn't like the fourth case for the same reason I didn't? It was blatantly telegraphed from the first time Pearl went "BUT MISTER NICK WHAT IF HE REALLY DID DO IT AND IS LYING!?"

    Unless you shifted to case 4 of game three, in which case you don't like it because you have no taste. :P

    By the time they were blatantly setting it up to look like it was Regina, I thought it was Max that was framing Regina out of revenge. I thought Max was a dirty spoiled bastard and was trying to kill two birds with one stone. Turns out it I was early and it was the case 4 defendant that was the bastard. I didn't even need Pearls to 'wonder' about it, as that kind of twist was already on my mind and I suspect the guy the instant he showed up.

    ...wait a second. So that area Edgeworth is in in that screenshot just so happens to look identical to the area around Phoenix's office? Because I don't remember someone dying behind the building during the first game. And you'd think that would have come up.

    Gumshoe after the first game is actually proven to be a pretty astute detective.

    It's not his fault that the prosectution is always stealing shit from the crime scene to hide from Phoenix.

    That being said he always comes through in the end.

    Maybe that's a later case that takes place after the others

    Like all the cases are set between the first and third cases of the first game except that one

    I literally thought "oh thank god Oldbag didn't show up this time" when I got to the credits, only to have to shout "NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" as they rolled.
    I also liked the "oh god!" moment in case 2 where you thought she might pop up
    And then it turns out to be Larry.

    Huge improvement.

    In regards to case 2-3...
    I also was thinking it was Regina for the longest time, but not for the reasons everyone else was. I thought she was the murderer because when I met her it played that upbeat girly theme music, and cases 1-2 and 2-2 had already conditioned me to believe that theme music = evil.

    Assuming it's perfectly prepared, an Ace Attorney-style trial wouldn't take very long to resolve. Phoenix Wright is able to stretch them out for so long only because the prosecutors' cases are full of holes.

    If the focus of the game is on finding everything out during the original investigation instead of having some things that only come out in the courtroom, then there would be very little to do in court.

    Prosecutors are people of great authority in Japan. If you're guilty and they have you dead to rights and you KNOW you're guilty, you might just not fight it.

    3rd game makes more sense. I'm pretty confident that nobody got killed outside the Wright Law Offices during the first three games (assuming of course that that map really is the area around Phoenix's office). That probably would have been mentioned during the course of the games. Besides, if it were during the first game, then the game would have to deal with Edgeworth's questionable morals at the time. I don't think the game is going to make us try and mislead the defense by faking or omitting facts and evidence.

    Yeah, now that I've gotten over the "Yay, new Phoenix Wright (sort of) game/Yay, Edgeworth is awesome!" thing, I'm not so sure about the game. The investigation parts in the PW games aren't bad, but they definitely aren't something I'd want a whole game of. They're tolerable because they pay off: By investigating you get to go to court and beat down the prosecution and doing so is glorious.
