Yeah, first time I think that song's heard is with Filch and as a result I'll always associate it with him. It's who I thought it fit the most, too.
Edit: Oh wait, I hadn't even clicked on the link for that one. Only one I remember hearing Suspicious People with is indeed
. Might as well be her theme.

It only played for her though, right? Same with Hugh and the Difficult People theme. It might as well be her theme.
Filch and Robin share the Lively People theme, but imho the 'people' themes are basically just a generic witness theme. I guess it only really plays for them in the game though...
Hmm, right, makes sense. I guess I forgot about Filch. Not the most memorable character for me.
I appreciate the consistencies throughout the different soundtracks. Makes it easy to follow the musical evolution of the series. This game probably has the best ''people'' themes.

Oh yeah, an ultimatum to everyone who hasn't beaten this game yet: I'm gonna be updating my avatar in about 3 days to something spoilerish from this game (which was shown in the trailers, but some people didn't watch them).
You have been warned.

Yeah, I'm suffering from those post-attorney feels. The wait between each entry is rough.

Yeah, I've been the same way since finishing the game yesterday.
Hopefully it won't be too much longer until we get to play the rest of Investigations 2, and that a new game will be along shortly.
Ok. Finished Case 5 Trial Part 1. Honestly, it's not been all that surprising so far. Not nearly as shocking as people have made it out to be yet. I definitely was far more surprised at stuff in 3-5 than anything in 5-5 so far. Still, just because it wasn't surprising doesn't mean it hasn't been horrifying and really well done.
was a devastating moment,
Ok, PREDICTION TIME. I'm 99% sure this is insane and I'm way off base, but I want to put it out there just in case I'm right.

Some of my reasoning.
Athena trying to "fix" her mom

Clay Terran was the Phantom/Spy. Athena somehow found this out in a meeting with him and Apollo or something. She was so shocked that she ended up setting up the murder of him, while completely repressing the fact that she's done it
Some of my reasoning.
Clay's murder has to be involved in this. That's 100% sure on this. Athena's fingerprints being on the lighter are hyper suspicious. We know Athena repressing stuff is a completely legit explanation from Case 5 part 1. Since Starbuck has been cleared, the only other options we have for the spy are Yuri and Aura. Aura's surprise is too legit, so I think that rules her out. It could be Yuri, but so far it all adds up. The only thing that would tie Clay into this is him being the spy, which makes Athena the most obvious person with motive
ideally we will at least have layton x wright next year (aka as long as it isn't delayed) so the wait won't be so horrible for the next real AA game (as we will have that sorta AA game in between).
I wonder how much work would have to be done to bring AAI2 over digitally? Being a DS game, it could be tough to program it as a digital only, 3DS release. I would like them to do it, but at this point I'd be happy with getting the fan translation and having Capcom release all the future AA titles over here on the eShop.

What this game has a scene select for repeats? Not that I'd ever want to skip scenes on a replay but thats awesome. Certainly useful when debates come up

While it's gorgeous and the music is great, I find it a step backwards from the first three games. This game has a good story but since it's far more easier (too easy) than the first trilogy, I find it more a visual novel than a game. I'm a bit disappointed although I still somewhat enjoy playing it: the humor works and the crimes are quite interesting.

Case 5: did anyone else think that
Candice Arme could be the phantom? I was always a bit curious about how we didn't really know anything about her, even though she was at the scene of crime 7 years ago. And at the time of trial she was already dead, so the "phantom" name would have made dramatic sense...
They said last week that they would have more to say about it 'soon', but who knows if that means release this Thursday or release in two months.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
So is there any way to reset the save data for this outside of deleting everything and redownloading? I'd like to do that before I let my wife start up, but the episode selection screen has a bunch of background images after finishing the game that I wouldn't want visible for a first playthrough.

If you choose Episode Select, it'll awlays start at Chapter 1, and its image isn't spoilery much.
At the end of each chapter, you should be sent automatically to the next one. Alt. After finishing a chapter, choosing continue from the main menu will still help in avoiding spoilers.
Hold down B, X, and Start while starting the game. Or hit "X" on the "Continue" button in the main menu. (At least, that's how the Japanese version lets you do it.)

The music in this game is so so good. I love Trucy's updated theme (and Athena's theme).
I'm into Case 5 now. End of Case 4 got me, I have to say.

first of all whoever is not putting Franziska at the top of the best prosecutor list is doing it wrong, but let's move on.
I bought the game the other day and I'm in the middle of the second case.
Am I the only one really bothered by the fact that they are showing us who the killer is in the initial cut scene?
I'm really liking the game, but so far is missing something.
The second case of dual destinies reminds me a lot of
probably because they share a very similar thematic, but the case from the old game I think had a much better pace.
So far I think that what the game is missing for me is the thrill of discovery: they give away too many informations in the first cut scene of every case. I still remember the 5th special case in the first ace attorney game: that cut scene intrigued me without giving me any real answer, damn it took me hours to understand who it was possible that the victim was
Do they still give away who the killer is right away in the last 2 cases?
Another small thing: I do like Athena as a character, but her power is not that interesting.
The best power in the series is still the magatama.
Magatama >>>>>>>>>>>>> Little Thief >>> Athena Psychology > Apollo's Bracelet
The game is really good so far, but I still think that both Justice for All and Trials and Tribulations are superior. Miles Edgeworth investigation also was a better game imho.

I am currently close to the end of Case 3, and I'm absolutely loving it so far. New characters, animations, music, it's all wonderful. Case 2 was great fun, despite being filler and a little obvious.
Case 3, however, is currently one of my favourites in the series. Favourite moment so far has been a character revelation during the first day of the trial (
), I genuinely did not see that coming. I'm not at the very end yet, but since I'm cross-examining
I take it I don't have far to go. I kind of suspected that that person was the killer, purely because

They don't give away the killer in the opening scene after case 2. I also don't think midway through Case 2 is a fair comparison to other games... I mean, you're comparing half of the first non-tutorialish case to entire other games with mindblowing twists. You may still feel the same way after your done with AA5, but you just don't know yet.
You're right about Athena's power though... it doesn't get much better. It's not terrible, but it's... meh. Athena, as a character, is amazing though.

Anyone else thought 'I missed these people, I missed them so fucking much' at any point during their first playthrough?
By the time of Case 2, that's how I felt, I really loved the series and its characters, and it felt like forever since I enjoyed the crazy antics in the court room.

I feel that way every time I play a new Ace Attorney game, I love this series and its universe
Good to know!
I know I'm not even half the game through, I was more comparing the second case of dual destinies with the second case of
Justice for All
Love the game so far anyway!

Reached 'final battle'. About how many hours I got left? Wanna finish it in one go after work but I don't wanna be blind sided like aai which was actually 5 hours longer than I planned.
Athene's power is redeemed by how awesome the music is for those parts.

not being able to lose any health there makes you wonder why they even keep that health system around anyways?
you can't lose any in mood matrix either.
wonder if the next game will just abandon punishments all together.
Way less.
