#was that the jurist system....?????

[mekatrio]

naw that final trial was Weird was there seriously only one cross-examination in that whole thing HUHHHH. strange strange rushed writing towards the end BUT WELL i liked this game anyways!!! 💥💥💥💥

In Justice for All when Edgeworth returned and saw Phoenix for the first time, Phoenix seemed genuinely disgusted by him, thinking him a coward who only cared about Perfection just like Manfred. Phoenix probably really hated Edge for that year but all the fanworks i see are him just being like "oh miles I'm so glad ur not dead :)". Where are the twisted emotions?? Where is your rage????

that's an absolutely perfect moment to hone in on because as I've mentioned a couple of times in the past that was the exact moment where ace attorney injected itself permanently into my brain. I was fully expecting phoenix to be grateful and relieved to have Edgeworth back and offering him assistance at a time of crisis no matter how douchey he was about it, and so when he snapped instead I was completely blindsided and overjoyed. Like that was the moment when narumitsu went from Good to Superb for me because suddenly there is this entire other layer to the dynamic. I love a (un)healthy dose of resentment in any ship because I love when characters love each other despite having very good reasons not too so that bit was just. So good. Narumitsu getting the Sunshine One and Grumpy One treatment is so frustrating because phoenix has soooooo much more depth to him than that and he's my fave so it sucks to see how many people will just completely take him at face value

i think everyone is overloking the fact that the seven year gap perfectly lines up with covid. i know we're all a little tired of it and writing about covid can be hard and depressing but CONSIDER. on top of all the other shit phoenix is dealing with he also has to be in lockdown

Good day to read a good book with the perfect soundtrack for it.

[borom1r]

I have played one (1) singular trial to completion in Dual Destinies and already I have. well not SO many questions but one major, burning question.

[prommytheus]

im still losing my mind over caterpillars of the commonwealth btw. its like THE kristoph song im going to explode and die if i dont find the time to make an animatic soon

[first-blight]

it's so funny to me how they get a convicted murderer to the courtroom to be the prosecution......what's that all about

[clone-fighter]

I decided to go get one just for the sake of it

(alt ver under cut)

This case is great and everything and I'll probably talk about it more later but is there a version of this shot without the textbox? bc that seems like a great reaction image

[zoejayw]

I drew a short comic about phoenix working on the jurist system for @phoenixwrightzine! leftover sales are open. i also drew an enamel pin so you can get your hands on one of those too.

[starboundsingularities]

the jurist system seems really cool i hope they keep using it :-)

look if i was on trial and the guy prosecuting me started advertising his music i'd just plead guilty. avoid the embarrassment of getting put in prison by a guy who basically used the trial to say "this blew up btw here's my soundcloud"

📕 lexculpatory Follow

he didn't forge the evidence, though. it was kristoph gavin who ordered the forgery. this was covered in the trial of vera misham. if you're going to try to compare yourself to well known figures, you could at least check the veracity of your claims.

yeah well. he might have. on a different case or something.

Edgeworth only cares about important laws like "don't kill people" he has no respect for trifling little inconveniences like "you can not freely investigate inside of an embassy without consent because it is foreign soil" or "you can not compel your employees to do additional unpaid work outside of their job description" and certainly not "you need to follow the speed limit." Guy who is champing at the bit to mansplain the Autobahn to anyone in the general vicinity. His biggest success during his tenure as chief prosecutor is facilitating a statewide adoption of the jurist system, resulting in an unprecedented decline in false convictions. His most notorious failure is his deeply unsuccessful campaign to remove speed limits from various California highways.

Cannot stop thinking about an au where Turnabout Trump doesn't happen/happens but Olga is convicted instead so Apollo is still working at the Gavin law offices for his first few cases. He meets Trucy at one of the crime scenes and she tags along on his investigations, but she doesn't tell him about her connection to Phoenix until after their first case together. Ema likes Apollo less at first bc she doesn't like the fop and you work for his brother, who she also hates bc he's very condescending when he cross examines her in court.

When you meet Klavier in the second case you can ask Kristoph about him and vice versa. They don't interact with each other but you get to learn some more things about the brothers, their opinions on each other and their backstory. You also find out that Klavier was the one who got Phoenix disbarred and Kristoph is apologetic about it, given that Phoenix is his "friend" (though they haven't interacted at all since phoenix was found not guilty).

At one point Trucy is visiting Apollo at the Gavin Law Offices when Kristoph returns and "politely" kicks her out. She then reveals to Apollo who the daddy she keeps talking about actually is. You get to meet Phoenix again in the next case and find out more about the incident 7 years ago.

Over the course of the game you/Apollo starts to grow more suspicious of Kristoph and his intentions, alongside a growing sense of horror that you got an innocent person convicted in your first case. It all comes to a head in Succession when Drew Misham finally uses the stamp, which turns up fixed to a letter in the Gavin Law Offices postbox that Apollo collects on his way in one morning. You hand it to Kristoph and he promptly disappears with it, feigning excuses. Phoenix uses this case to finally spring his trap and test the jurist system. Kristoph gets the double whammy of his brother and mentee turning on him at once and the murder of Shadi Enigmar is properly resolved. It's also revealed that Trucy started tagging along on Apollo's investigations to collect intel for Phoenix.

At the end of Succession, Apollo is offered a role at the newly-renamed Wright Anything Agency and there's a final rise from the ashes-style case that serves as Apollo's first proper case as an official WAA employee and helps tie up some loose threads/lets the characters deal with the fallout of Succession.

Idk I just think it'd be fun/satisfying to realise slowly that there's more to everything than meets the eye.

[jinxedshapeshifter]

"The case for the Jurist System test trial is pretty simple"

Phoenix you chose the case because you have 7 years worth of evidence against Kristoph Gavin and decided to change the case last minute because you realized, based on your 7 years of evidence, that Kristoph was behind the whole thing. If that's a "simple" court case, I'm a tree

[brodorokihousuke]

As many of you may already know, the jurist system in AJAA was inspired by the fact that Japan's legal system was planning on adopting some sort of jury system around the same time.

Interestingly, the booklet for the Japanese release specifically talks about this, even straight up providing a link to the official webpage of the Ministry of Justice!

the example jury, though... not sure i would trust half of those people with that role LMAO

I've never seen any of this art before as well, notably. I edited them all out and posted them separately here.
