I am excited for Shu Takumi's AA project, although I'm hoping it's the same as the DD team's AA project too, and that it's GS6.

I have mixed feelings about DD. I felt it was very formulaic, despite aiming for twist after twist, as well as overly holding the player's hand to the point it may as well have been a visual novel rather than call itself a game. On top of other things like forced cameos, AJ retcons, and the lame exposition via telling, rather than showing (Clay, Athena's backstory, Apollo's pov in the last case, Pearl not actually interacting with the people Phoenix claims she does, etc.). /ljpost

Yet the game was still really enjoyable. It was even the funniest in the series for me. The third case for instance is my "worst case ever," but also the one to keep making me laugh at loud whenever the weird motivations and poorly written/acted cheese took a backseat to the slapstick. The fail options for Athena's statue performance? Holy shit my sides. Means creepy clay hair and his chalkboard? Robin's manly screaming and pot throwing? The defense is not ready to rock? Fulbright and Athena's exchange from afar? I need to breathe gdi—

And I'm not going to pretend that the twist of the last case wasn't very good for me either. I was so torn because I really liked Fulbright, and I so wanted him to be a real addition to the cast. Yeah, Athena and Simon are okay, but Fulbright was the one main supporting character that endeared me to the game. Of the detectives, you have Gumshoe who submits to every prosecutor, Ema who openly snarks the prosecutor she's paired with, and Fulbright who isn't phased by anything. Good twist though ♥

I can't agree that it was formulaic - at least, not to the point it bothered me, and although I did think there was more hand-holding than necessary, I didn't mind not having to go through every single location with a fine-toothed comb and present every single piece of evidence to every single person whenever I wasn't sure what to do next. But man, I am right there with you on the third case - it was SO FUNNY. Everything you mention, spot on.

I made the mistake of setting my expectations too high after so many years, which is probably why I'm so critical of it.

Aw, but I miss clicking on everything. Not so much to spend unneeded time re-checking spots, but for the extra dialogue between the lawyer and their assistant. For me it's the added touch that gives you a better feel between them and the lawyer's inner dialogue.

I will go through Hugh's odd cry so many times just for the funny.

That is true; I was definitely annoyed that we couldn't examine the office. Now how are we supposed to know what Athena thinks of Trucy's plastic spaghetti?!?

[cloud_riven]

Forget the spaghetti. Charley.

Case 3 was the funniest thing in history of everything ever. Means' breakdown is easily the funniest in the whole series yet, in my opinion.

[cloud_riven]

And the court audience got involved omg it was wonderful. I felt so vindicated for Athena. there was righteous laughter

[pengychan]

Also, hug a corner. HUG A CORNER.
I died there.
