There's one investigation section.
Hmm I never felt like I had to guess... but certainly at several points I feel like multiple items would have been correct, like in case 3 with the
two lanterns.
They seem to have realized this, because in case 5 I picked one item and was told "Well... you're getting warm... but try to refine your thinking a bit to make it definitive."

One thing I don't get in the ending.
Why can't Queen Amara be Queen again? This is after they find out she's fine, but Rayfa and Sahdmadhi talk like Amara can't be Queen again.
Like what? What is completely illogical?
It's more like she doesn't want to. After all the years as servant she actually got used to live the more simple life.
For instance, Case 5 Spoilers:
Having to choose explosion to show that the time of the minister's death was wrong. The dog bark noise was right there, it corroborated the fact that that moment occurred at 2PM by placin Albhi at the Bazaar.
I had to reset the game multiple times to figure if I chose the wrong insight.

It's funny, my opinion on the musics is similar to my overall opinion on this game, decent but not memorable, took a lot of old material and new musics are not amazing. Though there are three musics that stands out for me. One from case 2 another one from case 3 and an investigation theme

Can anyone help me in episode 2.
, anybody have any ideas?
I investigated the stage and spoke to roger retinz, apparently the next step is to go to the dressing room to speak to bonney but she isn't there, only athena shows up

Regarding 5-4,
it starts with Apollo in the court, but when it changes to Phoenix there's an investigation section added. It shares most locations and characters with 5-5 though.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
This is a case of "multiple 'correct' solutions, but one 'best' one" that happens in AA sometimes, although I thought this was was pretty obvious compared to some of the more frustrating ones throughout the series.

Ah, I've been trying to find this track, missed it in all my ost sweeps so far.
Didn't they explain that, once you point that out?
The barking could be from any dog at any time. But the explosions are way more specific.

Dog bark is too general. The explosion and following laughter is more specific. In fact, I don't think they even penalize you if you choose the laughter, but point you to choosing the explosion instead.

The best part of that twist was (Case 5)
Apollo noticeably sweating when he asked Ema to confirm the body, and his anguished head slam onto the desk whe it turned out to be what he has guessed. One of the roughest moments in that case.

Nah they talk like she can't rule again. It wasn't even an assumption that she can go back to ruling even during the case where Garan was threatening Rayfa's right to rule.
This + the song had me going wild
This track is incredible
Fuck, had no idea another game launched until I saw the eShop icon release when buying DQ7.
I loved AA1 years ago and have been meaning to play through the rest, but ugh...backlog. I have trilogy and AA5 on my 3DS waiting for me to jump in too.

I know, I felt so sorry for
Apollo
He would meet his Mother, learn more about his real father, and learn he has a sister

Just
one court day.
If the credits are anything to go by then
I'm assuming the person Phoenix is talking to is Apollo's mother. Because of that I feel like the next game is going to be heavy on Apollo's backstory and origin.

A lot longer than you'd think considering that fact.
Did you play AA4?
That's Thalassa Gramarye, Apollo's mom, and her side of things was pretty much covered in AA4.

Kay I finished case 3 today and honestly...I was kinda disappointed with it.
I saw Beh'leeb being the killer for at least one coming from a mile away, and the whole suicide thing didn't really make sense to me. I was so interested in the initial investigation, but it turned out to have a really lackluster conclusion.
I had the exact same thought. Makes me wonder if the localization was doing his around the time of Trump.

Finished case 4, which I liked but... What you need to do just before the end is bullshit.
Just finished the game.
For the first time I feel only disappointment after playing an AA game.
AA5 didn't really convince me either but at least it had some interesting quirks
This one? It has (almost) nothing...
First episode is okay. New environment, new situation,
, some neat ideas.
The 2nd one was a no-no for me. Rehash of old stuff,
it damaged my suspension of disbelief.
It felt forced. I find it to be the most banal way to set up scenarios, like when a secret brother comes up. Please.
The third case was okay... I liked the resolution and it was complex enough.
However, the prosecutor also felt forced.
Even if
it just felt stupid and trite with all the insults. It's funny the first time, after a while it's just not believable. Overall, still a case I enjoyed.
The 4th case is easily the worst case in the whole series for me. Yawn. After a while, I just kept B pressed. :/. It was incredibly short (but, given how awful it was, it might not have been a bad thing), and incredibly predictable from the way the characters were presented. There isn't a single thing I liked, I guess.
The last case was good. It reminded me of
It's true that in general all the final cases are great, the last case of AA5 being my only exception with its stupidity destroying my suspension of disbelief.
I was a bit disappointed that it did not get into
The DLC was also a piece of shit. Nothing more, nothing less. It costed 4€ and I finished it in 20 minutes!! Give me my money back, Capcom! The AA5 DLC was great value instead....
edit: wait, I just found out that the "real" DLC case is supposed to be "Turnabout Time Traveler". Except nothing like that shows up to me (Europe). Wtf???
I won't even get into how embarassing this whole "America" has turned out because it's old news, though I felt it was particularly embarassing in this case since there was also Japan involved (with the
and the rakugo case. Thanks again for the hamburgers, Capcom localization director (who, let's not forget, still pats herself on the back for the great decision).
tl;dr
Dear Capcom,
Please get Takumi back where he belongs, ffs. I ended up liking 3 cases here with the first one being far from memorable anyway... I reckon that the more you do the harder it becomes to not get stale, that much is clear and it's not a trivial thing - it tends to be forgotten. But, I was still disappointed.
I wish Dai Gyakuten was localized. That looked way more interesting...

Trucy as suspect again...
I mean, this shouldn't be Princess Peach stolen by Bowser.
It just felt like "you know what? Let's take something we have already rightfully put an end on (in the AJ game), take it out of the grave, and add a "ah, by the way...".
The "by the way" obviously is the forgotten member.

Maya being the accused once again felt a bit stale but oh well.
and, Nahyuta is still Apollo's brother.

the last case of AAI1 in its resolution, which I always felt it was great.
I was a bit disappointed that it did not get into
Apollo's "real" family\past but I guess they're trying to not use all the bullets... I guess we'll find out about the mother one day. Things like Apollo vs Wright and starting it as a civil case were cool ideas. Maya being hostage was Not, we have already seen that, jesus. The authors should've thought about involving Pearl more for a change, especially now that she's older. That was a waste.

OMG they brought back the ability to Examine every scene, and not just crime scenes!
I already knew this game was better than the trash that was 5, but that just confirmed it.

Bought into this yesterday despite potential misgivings after feeling DD was a definite step back (significantly more linear than prior entries and the writing felt worse) and the Culture change reminding me of Vs Layton, which I also had issues with.
Hopefully I'll fall in on the 'return to form' side, but either way I kinda want to support the series in general so am looking forward to the adventure, whatever it is. So far I'm in court and it seems fine.

calm down, there's two "theather" DLC and the real DLC comes after these, so it's next week
not only that but they actually let you know what you examined already and they let you know when you examined everything that is crucial. it's great. i also love that you can sometimes reexamine the same place and still get new dialogue occasionally. Discovered some funny dialogue and easter eggs that way. i'm glad it's back. can't help but feel this was a result of feedback from what AA5 did.
I'm calm, I just learnt the "first check the internet" lesson this time.
I was mad because I spent 4 for such tiny content while I thought it was going to be similar to AA5. (Btw, I don't recall, at least in Europe, seeing the 2nd theather DLC but I could be wrong)
Now I'll have to splash 5 again for the other DLC, hopefully it's good...
