the scene where maya comforts rayfa in the rite of turnabout is so good because maya has also experienced feeling worthless because of her struggle to use her power (notably in turnabout goodbyes when she struggles to channel mia) and its so😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

less than a month before the switch port releases i'm still so baffled by their decision to call it the apollo justice trilogy. like it's probably been said before that it's already bad enough they're calling it a trilogy. but it's especially not APOLLO's trilogy get the fuck outta here with that lie you keep trying to sell us on

I love 6-3 cause Phoenix can't catch a fucking break during it. He reunites with Maya and immediately has to defend her from a murder charge. Every second of his investigation he's engaged in psychological warfare with a 14-year-old girl. The prosecution and gallery keep bullying him mid-trial. He gets found Guilty halfway through and is put on death row but is only spared by the sudden revelation that his client commited another murder. His first witness was a wanted terrorist. In sheer desperation, he has Maya channel the victim to confess to who killed him, only for the victim to start lying on the stand. He stumbles into both exposing a rebel hideout and the existence of secret police to the public. Everybody gaslights him on the Plumed Punisher being an original work. He crawls through a sewer and almost gets stabbed by the same rebel he cross-examined earlier.

so the rite of turnabout! I honestly really enjoyed it. imo it does a lot of things that make it feel super fresh and unique as a case.

I genuinely can’t think of a time in the main series that there’s been a double murder before, so being able to play that out felt new and fun. also with all the jokes there are out there about maya never using her powers to channel a victim in a case, it felt cool to finally have a set of circumstances where we got to experience a victim’s testimony through channeling. honestly most if not all aa cases that feature spirit channeling as a major part of the case itself go super hard imo.

getting a guilty verdict on the first day is genuinely kinda shocking when it happens too, it was a good twist on the formula of “first investigation first trial second investigation second trial” because ultimately it still is that but the feeling of the experience is still different due to there being a seemingly definite conclusion to the first trial as well as a second murder.

I also love how this case is… kind of a political drama?? I find the world of khura’in genuinely super interesting and getting to uncover more and more of who holds power, who’s fighting against it and why is genuinely really compelling to me. on paper I do think this idea of a fictional world run by a police state that’s using its religion to justify the most extreme measures of punitive justice very interesting. like if it were some kind of dystopian sci-fi world? khura’in would fuck. however it’s not a dystopian sci-fi world however and there are obviously a lot of issues w the real world political implications of khura’in which I intend to talk more about when I finish the game but for now I do think the very bare bones of “let’s create a fictional world to set an ace attorney game in” IS quite fun, PLvsPW did something similar and I haven’t played that game in ages either but I do really remember enjoying it there too.

having maya back is of course a delight I missed her so much. they definitely did a very great job at making her feel older and yet still like she’s the same character. her off screen progression feels very natural. love having rayfa as an assistant character too. she has a really fun rapport with phoenix and seeing her internal conflict of trying to reconcile who he is with what she was taught to believe about lawyers her whole life is also genuinely compelling

LIVE! Trying out the new FFXIV Dawntrail benchmark! After tinkering with that we'll switch to Ace Attorney Spirit of Justice and try to finish up case 3.

[cornertheculprit]

is it just me or is the rite of turnabout kind of just a watered down version of reunion and turnabout....
