Not the 1st one in the entire game, I mean the 1st one in a case (I ran out of room in the title).

I'd like it if all you did prior to the 1st trial was at most talk to your client and look over the crime scene briefly (& I guess talk to the Detective there). You shouldn't know the case very well by the 1st court IMO. And maybe cutting the 1st investigation short would make the cases be able to have 3 courts again.

I kind of agree, and I kind of don't. On one hand, the trial is the fun, intense part. You know, the GOOD part. But on the other hand, the investigation is what leads up to it, gives you the necessary information, basically SETS UP the trial segment. I guess it's a question of how important the purpose of the investigation is.

I agree, although as long as there isn't a ton of evidence submitted in that first court day

On one hand getting to the "action" quicker would be nice. On the other, I'm a big fan of the investigation scenes since they are the ones with the most character development. Hmm...

I don't mean there shouldn't be investigation or that there shouldn't be as much of it. Just have less of it be before the 1st court section.

Well, if you do that then you'll end up having a court date like the one currently in my comic. (OMFG SELF ADULATION)

Yeah, I kinda wish that investigation was shorter. But then again, I kinda don't. I like Maya going off about stuff she sees.

I HATE INVESTIGATION! :zenitora:

But maturely, I agree that we can't throw away the first investigation. It leads up to the trial. :gregory:

Anyway, even though they had 3 days, the AA cases were shorter.

Same here. I really don't like investigation. I always get stuck for ages on something small >.<

I would keep the structure the same though.
The lack of investigation at the start would leave me wanting more introduction to the case.

Should they cut down investigation to talking to the client and the detective? No.
Should they ever pull a 2-4 on us ever again? No.

Investigation is what gives us a lot of the character development, gives us some of the great jokes (Depending on what you think of stepladder...), allows us to understand most of the case, and just sets the scene.

That's why the first cases aren't as enjoyable as the rest. If they gave us a tutorial investigation with the tutorial case, I'd be a lot happier.

But honestly, 2-4 had a HUGE first investigation. It spanned 2 days, and I was left waiting for the first court-room session. Edgeworth cameos should be kept until later days. Only in that case though.

EDIT: And if the MASON System comes back, expect more investigation.

I dunno, when I replayed 1-3 for the countdown, I was kind of irritated by the short and useless investigation before the first day of court. Phoenix went in knowing almost nothing about the case and just fumbled his way through it. And because 1-3 was kind of draggy in general, having 3 court days didn't really benefit anything.

I like being able to puzzle things out in court, but exposition is so important to these cases. I like having the time to set things up properly.

I personally like the way 2-4 threw investigations at us. They made them important and fun, and much better than the first game's. *Except 1-5, maybe*
