Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
I'm only on case 2, and I'm absolutely loving it so far. Blackquill might be my favorite prosecutor since Franziska.

you guys are hyping up case 5 and i haven't gotten there yet
just started case 4 too

Yeah, that bugged me too, especially coming off of PLvsPW where everyone has voiced interjection clips. While I get that keeping them silent except for the mains makes them 'special', it's actually just really nice having witnesses provide their own "HOLD IT"s, especially if they've been silent up to that point.
That's fantastic.

I've noticed Taka's eyes widening for the longest time whenever Simon does that =V
It took place in a Japanese high school, what were you expecting?

Yakuza, drifting, lil bow wow.
Taka's eye's opening is amazing, I've noticed it and always stare at it, lol. Same with when he laughs it looks like the hawk is chuckling with him.
Just finished Case 5. Emotionally drained, but that case was amazing. I'll have to type up my coherent thoughts later.

Finished the fourth case.
I don't know, I don't think this game is on par with the first three. It's well written, the witnesses are probably the best and the most vividly characterized I've seen on this series (the thief, Cosmos, Myriam) - but the good writing doesn't touch the gameplay. In cases 1,3 and 4 I've felt too often myself as an observer while Phoenix or Apollo goes on and explains what happened. Instead of me having a chance to do that.
This tendency has been evident at the end of these cases and these sections go by without the player having a decent opportunity to participate - though the logic thing at the end is a very good touch, it is too easy and in these cases the only interactive part.
I don't like that.
Also, these three cases have had some serious problems with being a bit too straight-forward and evident. There's too little twists in the mystery and those which can be found, don't let the player be part of it like in case 4
.
The animation is great, music is brilliant and humor works better than in the first trilogy but the cases are weaker. In my opinion, case 2 was the best because it had some mystery in it. A mystery which wasn't solved too easily.

when it becomes clear the the launch pad 1 was switched with the museum.

Finished the game, what a ride. Loved the

The storyline of
Oh and I adore the character design of this series, especially this game. Athena <3
after-credits video, those are amazing in 3D
The storyline of
Athena 'repairing' her mum was so well done and unexpected, when everyone went all "SHUT UP BLACKQUILL DONT SAY WHAT I THINK YOU'LL SAY" you could have placed me right next to them in the courtroom 
Really like that they did go there and kept the possibility up for quite some time.
Not so sure if I like the "I don't know who I am anymore" thing on the last bit though, I would have preferred one single mask and a really suprising reveal there. But hey, it kept me on the edge of my seat anyway, so it was acceptable

I think I'll redo the GIFs so they no longer have the white stuff so it will look good on the dark theme on GAF.
And add a pause at the end so it doesn't repeat so fast for some of them.
Wow how did you make these?
For what it's worth, I think it's pretty cool that
the first half of case 4 has you play Apollo, and then it hands off to Phoenix after the break, and THEN you realize how it's (tangentially) related to case 1.

Now that you mention it,
I thought the connections to case 1 should have been stronger once they went there. Not even Apollo's eye wound is actually from the explosion, wat?
Not picking the worst scenario imaginable to begin with could have been a good start.
The Japanese love them high schools.
It would have been more realistic if it was a law college or university faculty.
I need more Case 5 reactions.
I ripped it out of the demo that was on the Japanese site a while back.

I went back to replaying case 5 of the first Ace Attorney (meant to start with case 4, but whatever...) and man this game is hard compared to AA5. Okay, I see why AA5 has some streamlining in investigations, but they went too far and made the game too easy. There should be some challenge or the game turns into a visual novel...

I guess it was to
throw off our expectations from all the preview material.
Hehehe missed your initial breakdown last night but god, reading all of your initial impressions about characters throughout the game was so delicious.

He isn't, but this is his best animation/characteristic. His jokes are always so stupid and random, lol.
blackquill is great
got a question about trucy...
I didn't play the english version of AA4 back then so her behaviour and choice of words in AA5 seems kinda odd to me.
did she always call phoenix just "daddy"?
I find it annoyingly irritating which is a shame because I really liked here in AA4...

aw
his jokes certainly did get me, though
She did. If I'm recalling correctly, at the part where Phoenix decides to adopt Trucy, he even tells her to call him "Daddy".

The attention to detail in this game is staggering. In Case 3, someone noticed that when
It's a pretty neat detail, considering how good of an eye you'd have to have to catch it.
cross examining Myriam, and all of her stuff falls out of her cardboard box, for a split second, you can see her laptop; On the screen is a picture of Robin, Hugh and Juniper, with herself 'shopped into the picture. Shows how desperately she just wanted to be friends with them. See it here.

Trucy has called him Daddy ever since the
flash-back scene in AJ.
What did she call him in the Japanese version by chance?

Everything is streamlined. Its still a little difficult for as vets and easy enough for new players. Cross examinations vary but there pretty simple to grasp if you press them on everything. The only loss is that you can only examine the crime scenes. Its sucks considering environments look amazing
