sometimes i feel compelled to type up a long post where I super autistically get into the particulars of edgeworth's dialogue in the trilogy vs the investigations duology and explain why i think yamazaki's moment-to-moment character writing is much weaker even if i think the arc he put together was very good. but i really just don't think anything i could manage to say would be as concise as just putting these two quotes from yamazaki and takumi respectively next to each other and letting the takes speak for themselves.

Q: I want to know how Mitsurugi spends his day off. The only thing I can think of is watching videos of Tonosaman (The Steel Samurai). (I Love Micchan) Yamazaki: Mitsurugi is always busy, so I don’t think he has much time to relax. But he’d probably listen to classical music while enjoying some black tea. Or he’d focus on the chessboard alone. Anyway, he seems the indoor type.

Interviewer: I did start to look at Mitsurugi as good guy from Episode 4 of the second game on. It made you acknowledge him as a close friend of Naruhodō. But let's go back to the character profile, what do you think about the "Music" column? Takumi: He might like ppongjjak (Trot), I think. Interviewer: Pp....Ppongjjak!? That comes out of nowhere... Takumi: Classic music would've been too easy and not fun (laugh). So yeah, standing upright listening to ppongjjak. With his personality, I think ppongjjak is possible.

obviously all the trilogy musicals are unhinged and generally out of character but do you ever think about gyakuten saiban 3: prosecutor miles edgeworth and wonder why they did that to greg

hiiiii I am going to be attempting to stream persona 3 portable (female protagonist edition plus cutscenes mod) for some of my friends on twitch here in about two hours from now. I'm planning to do it around the same time every week. Feel free to drop by if you are interested and prepared to handle me attempting to figure out how all this works.

so close! the correct answer was "I love you most".

Another reason I'm an Akechi Lives truther: cognition, baby. Vanilla P5 reveals that Morgana only lived in the end due to the Thieves' cognition/bond with him. Persona 5 Royal made the conscious choice to give Akechi endure, which lets you survive a fatal hit at 1 HP if you max his confidant, and maxing his confidant is the only way he appears in the postcredits. If ever there was a place where power of love, bonds, or cognition could make a miracle happen, it's the Metaverse. So maybe we don't need a huge, complex explanation. Maybe the connection Joker and Akechi share is enough. Now if only Atlus would give us a followup...

the thing about ace attorney is that when it's bad it's so so stupid but when it's good it genuinely has the potential to be life changing and there is No Way to separate these things you have to take both you have to admit you're going insane over the same game that contains defenestrated bronze magician bust
