AA4 final case spoilers
Kristoph just felt like a really weak antagonist to me. You were basically convicting someone with nothing left to lose, so it didn't feel gratifying at all. I get that he's supposed to be really petty and his breakdown is in response to it being revealed that he was jealous of Phoenix, but that just seemed so silly given that his reputation was already shot. I had a hard time taking him seriously at all, so he really pales in comparison to Manfred/Gant/Godot, as I remember them.

You and me both. It's like Trauma Team all over again.
We wouldn't have gotten that great hiimdaisy comic series without him though.

you can dislike AAI, but how can anyone dislike how the relationship between 2 nations is tied to their love for

Quick attempts:
Cool, here is mine:
And I found Kirby Ball in HQ:
Thank you both!
The case just bugs me because it all hinges on 1) The Judge being in an emotional state where he cannot bother to spend time doing his job and 2)everyone's willful ignorance of every standard method of identifying the culprit in the series. Gavin's entire argument is based on circumstantial evidence, and Apollo should've beat that drum long and hard.
Reason I don't like 4-3 is that stupid song they show you, like, 24 times through the case. Just "ugh"... it feels like the developers were so proud of that cutscene they tried to shove it down your throat at every opportunity they could get
And yeah, Klavier is definitely one of the worst prosecutor in the series. Arrogant, and a real n00b to boot. He's always like "LOL Herr Forehead, U mad?!", then always tries to get credits for YOUR findings when he's been wrong all the time.
At least, Blackquill looks really awesome.
Yeah, the song is a huge pain, it's like the Badger Dance, except longer and nobody points out that it sucks. I appreciate that Klavier is a friendly guy, but he's just like, "normal flavor" compared to those who came before.
I thought that
Kristoph was okay. My chief problem was just that the Gavin brothers are so small fries that it was sort of a pain to see that they're the ones who brought Nick down. Like they just sort of lack something and it comes off as sort of less than it could be. That said, Kristoph is still the better of the two brothers and a decent villain.
True, true. Zak's still a huge jerk, though.
Hey raise my daughter and also get disbarred and then I will try and cheat you out of the only means of making money you still had and when that fails I will for no good reason physically assault a woman.

AA4 final case spoilers:
Were Kristoph's black locks explained?
Finished that case a few days ago,
I don't think they were explained. Maybe the black locks return in AA5?

Ah, well. Let's leave it at that then.
Does this release at mignight?

For future reference: if you're trying to avoid spoilers, don't ever go to the AA wiki. I've contributed to it myself a few times, so I can't get too up on my high horse, but they seem to have a bad habit of putting up just the most juicy, spoiler-ific bits without context. I remember I even added a DD-related fact but worded it to keep the spoilers down for people who were browsing that page and someone went back and edited it to be more spoiler-filled even though it added little related to the page itself.

Based on the last couple pages of thread, it depends on who you ask. It's better to assume no.
This realization came a bit late for me unfortunately. I hadn't even gotten to the text but just seeing an AA5 image out of the corner of my eye was enough for me to realize I shouldn't be looking at that site at all.
Pretty sure it doesn't. There hasn't been a non-first-party midnight release yet, AFAIK.

3rd party stuff is usually midnight pst. Otherwise around noon.

I don't think that's the case.Big retail games are normally midnight releases. Everything else is out part way through the day.
Oh man, I'm all ready to go tomorrow. Europeans and East coast people will get it earlier though, dammit! Let's show Capcom that Westerners deserve this series!
I'm going to just throw myself into the game, I'm probably going to stay out of this thread until I finish it, unless I see something that is worth mentioning.

If you give it a no I'll throw a missile at ya!
Btw is there no more 3d examine evidence? There weren't in the demo.
Baha sorry, guys, I'll be asleep then. If someone wants to put together a post, I can copy pasta tomorrow morning.
Thanks for the heads up, Jason.
It's not a standard feature, but there are a few times in the story you get to do it.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you, tomorrow!"
So I think one of the reasons I really like Lamiroir is that she's executed in much the same way as Godot. AA3 and AA4 spoilers follow
But both are definite spotlight thieves.
Both are related to the main character, both suffered wounds in tragic cases in the past which ruined their eyesight, both wear masks (well, Lamiroir a veil, but still), and both are central characters in their games. The key differences between them are that Godot remembers what happened to him, and Lamiroir does not, and that this twists and sours Godot's soul, whereas Lamiroir has no memory of who she was and what happened to her, and this leaves her in some ways very innocent.
But both are definite spotlight thieves.
Good stuff Jason, I'm looking forward to taking a look at the Press Sneak Fucks' reviews, even though I value my own opinion the most.

Only tangentially related (same creator) but... has there been any indication they would make another Ghost Trick? That game rocks.
The Bankslammer

Yeah, I feel the same way about it. I get that when you take down Kristoph at the end it's supposed to be "AT LAST YOU GET REVENGE ON THE MAN WHO RUINED PHOENIX WRIGHT," but really, it was Phoenix's overconfidence and cockiness that fucked him over the most in the first place. The brothers were just pretty underwhelming in general.

or do i need to add funds to get it first? :S (which would mean there would be left over money)

When you're in the eshop, go to the dual destines page, and try to buy it.
If you don't have enough funds,a "add required funds" button will appear that only adds the amount you need to purchase the game.
Also, if you're in North America, you can always set your state location to one without tax through the 3DS region settings. I've only heard that some places in the states do have tax though, wouldn't know exactly which, being part of Eurogaf
Gunman Clive?
Anyone know how much it will cost for UK people?
Sucks that I'll be at work all day tomorrowUnless by some miracle they release it at midnight
Talking about release: when is it supposed to be released in the EU?

£19.99.
^Release will either be at midnight (doubt it) or around 2-3pm tomorrow (UK time, adjust for your region as needed, will go up at the same time all across europe).
Apparently:
Alright then:
Europe:
North America:
Now isn't that better? (if I got any of those wrong let me know).

Edit: Damn you Sendou!
Do we know in what order the DLC case is meant to be played? I understand it takes place before the cases included in the game, but I'm not sure that means its meant to be played first.
I'm assuming its not meant to be played first since its not available the day of the games release, but I just thought I'd check.

Iirc it takes place between the second and the third case.
Obviously without saying what it was, was it cool?
I'm looking for some revelatory stuff that will change the landscape of the whole series in this game.
