Spoiler: Cons And that's the end of my pros and cons of this case. So for this case, I'm gonna be using a 1 to 10 rating scale, and I'll be revising my scores for TFT and TMT. And here's the score! The Foreign Turnabout: 5.9/10 The Magical Turnabout: 9/10 The Rite of Turnabout: 7.1/10 And with that, I'm off (to play Turnabout Storyteller, that is )! Spoiler: Second con |

I have only just made it to the trial, so maybe that's what you implied, but the investigation was fine I thought. You don't reach a whole lot of information but it does well in characterizing some of the characters and recontextualizing Phoenix and Maya (which is good for the standalone-ness of this particular story), the whole scene with the royal palace or whatever it was was also pretty important to show to add a sense of the bigger picture. Biggest gripe I have with the case regarding investigation day 1 is that Ema's reunion with Phoenix is poorly handled. It's like they saw each other yesterday, they're just like "Oh, hi, didn't know you were here. Let's talk about the case!" I guess they wanted to avoid having the kind of introduction she had in case 2 with Apollo twice, but that's another place where the split-protagonist stuff gets in the way then. I understand that as a player it's nice for me to feel like I am the characters I play as so in a sense I have already met Ema in case 2, but from an in-universe standpoint, that was poorly written and a shame for something I had actually looked forward to almost as much as reuniting with Maya. We never saw Nick and Ema talk in AJAA, let alone about RftA, and you only get a few references through optional dialogue and the rest of examine-dialogue with her is just punchlines about forensics like Trucy's magic panties in DD. |

All right. Spoiler: That's one. Spoiler: That's two. Spoiler: Where the hell are Sahdmadhi's beads. Spoiler: On a nicer note Spoiler: trial Spoiler: Steel Samurai Spoiler: I've got some appreciation Inmee Spoiler: randomness Spoiler: Apollo Spoiler: point to ponder Not the worst case, but it did drag on. I know I'm complaining a bit, but I did enjoy it. Not to mention, I did literally ROFLMAO at the spirit channeling. |

Okay, the seance was fine in trial day 1, but dear lord, these testimonies are so obvious, are they even trying? The second one literally is about the very contradiction in it ans nothing else. I could tell everything that has been revealed so far coming a mile away. Nahyuta isn't getting any better either. He speaks in nonsensical prattle and makes Phoenix look stupid for even bothering to make catchy comebacks to that drivel in his monologues. The anecdote about adding 100 years in hell for every sin was not even close to witty. It's a bunch of airheaded nonsense. He really is the Courtney 2.0. I almost dislike everything he says that shows his characteristics. His arguing of case matters is fine... I mean, it's nothing new, he's just referring to the writer's own logical counterpoint as any of these Yamazaki rivals do. Addendum: Spoiler: later in the case C'mon Phoenix, you're not usually this stupid. Spoiler: more This game is patronizing right now >_> Quick fix: Spoiler: Addendum2: WHAT!? they forgot to add a "TAKE THAT" when I presented the big one. What the hell is it with this trial segment? It's awful >.< Anyway, I beat day 1. Spoiler: But still... The body of trial day 1 in this case sucked. That was pretty darn boring and way too straightforward. In general with this game I've found the investigations are great but the trials are just too poorly paces. I did like how much effort they put into the presentation of case 2 though. |

One thing that's a little annoying in this case is the evidence. You have sets of crime photos and then statements that basically point out the same things. Spoiler: ...like Spoiler: 3-5 and 6-3 W-wait... what is this...!? A recess!? In AA6? What in the world? An actual save point between the start and end point of a segment, astonishable! |

Post subject: | Re: Case three discussion thread (tagged spoilers) |
I only finished the first trial but jesus, this is an annoying case so far. Almost every contradiction seems like it should've either had a more logical answer or alternate acceptable ones. The "calm skies" one was especially bullshit. Weather reports will also account for a little wind? Really? No wind that high up? Nayuta is a lot more enjoyable now but this was also egregious: Nayuta: Didn't I say you were chasing a deluded fantasy? *flashback* Nayuta: You're chasing a deluded fantasy |

I agree, the first day of trial and investigation is boring and frustrating. Don't worry, though, it picks up a lot on the second day. |

I still haven't finished but I'll also say that this case has officially made Rayfa my favorite new character from this game. I love her smug smile with her hands on hips, really reminds me a lot of young Franzy Also what's up with this case not adding everyone to profiles? The queen and justice minister are absent and they don't even have Spoiler: Name |

Why did they go back to AJAA-style flashbacks where they're completely redundant or encapsulate way more than the significant lines of dialogue, again? Is there some staff member back on the team now whose role was to delegate flashbacks in AJAA or something? x) |
