We know that Borginia is located somewhere in Northern Europe, but does anyone know where Seihou, Babaru and Arebast are? And yes, I realize that they are fictional.

I dunno about the others, but Seihou's time zone places it just west of China, I think, around Kazakhstan. They give Borginia's time zone too but I forgot if it was helpful in pinpointing the country.

Is Godot ever mentioned? I heard case 3 takes place after T&T.

Uh yeah, all the other cases (save for case 4) takes place after T&T as well.

And no he isn't mentioned or even referenced as far as I know.

Yeah it looks like they just fucked up. I've only "played" that case once and she definitely isn't in it.

I'd say it's less of a mess up and more of an intentional thing. They probably didn't want people guessing too many things about the game, so they put characters in where they weren't supposed to go for the trailer to keep it interesting.

franziska has a sister?!?!

Is there any chances for C-R to get (preferrably cleaned) full-body artwork (not just the sprites) for Himeko Kazura and some other characters? I really need the full artwork of Kazura and others for some wallpapers that I'm planning to make.

PS. I know there are images of the official guide, but the quality of the character-images wasn't the best possible.

Case 4 is supposed to be 7 years before the rest of the game. Kay is 10, Franziska is 13, and Edgey is 20. Yet in the "present" Edgeworth is 26 and Franziska is 19. Is it a math error, or does Kay simply have an earlier birthday? It would nice if Capcom actually gave the characters birthdates.

I would go with a math error. They probably didn't want to contradict the earlier stuff, so they went with those numbers, not thinking that they needed to change the numbers to make it match. Or you could argue it like you said, that her birthday is earlier than theirs. Either way, birthdays in AA land will never makes sense.

Ever since T&T we've known that it's impossible for Edgeworth to have any kind of birthday, since the case dates vs ages contradict each other. Plus the AA timelines in general has a problem remembering that when you go from December to January you enter a new year. Same thing happens with AJ taking place "seven years" after T&T.

Is he going to be evil?

No he's not evil. He's just an Interpol agent that criticizes helps Edgeworth at every point they meet.

Does the Announce the Truth theme for this game play in every case where it usually would, or is it only heard during the flashback case?

Do you mean Confess the Truth? If so, it plays usually in every case when Edgeworth reveals who is the true killer is and he's confronting them so yes.

Yes, that's the one, thanks for answering my question!

I don't know how many phases case 5 is, but it certainly feels like it goes on foreeeeeeever. It's super long.

Penalties don't seem to take off as much damage in general as they did in earlier games, but I think that's because there are many more chances for you to screw up. Between logic, investigations, and confrontations, you do a lot of presenting so they also give you a lot of leeway.

Its hard to judge how long GK cases are because of the unique gameplay however, GK5 is really long, just as Croik said. I'd say it's about 1 and 1/2 times as long as 1-5 if I had to guess. It's been a while since I last played it

To me it felt as long as 1-5. But I didn't keep track of the number of phases so I'm not sure if that's because it really is that long, or the nature of the plot towards the end just makes it feel that way.

I think its both because its practically two cases in one. After you confront Shih-na and its revealed that she didn't kill Coachen, there is still a large amount left. That's why I think it's nearly twice as long as RFTA (I corrected my error from before). Of course, the nature of the plot towards the end, just as you said, also makes it feel that way.

It depends but its mainly Gumshoe who tags along. It depends on the case and whats happening at the current point in time.
