Apollo Justice (again)

Having finished the end: I LOVED the last case. What I liked best about the third game (I mean, aside from the one part that was the awesomest awesome that ever awesomed) was how the story spanned the whole game, tying together the past and present. And AJ did that, only it was like, even more EPIC than T&T was. Also, playing as Phoenix again was so much fun (though I missed Maya ;_;), and I really liked the Mason System and how it let you jump from past to present. But, in a way, playing as Phoenix made me a little sad, because I think that, since Phoenix's last case (*sniffle*) has been solved, it's most likely that the next game will involve him even less, and I don't like Apollo any better now than I did earlier. I don't dislike him, exactly, but...he just doesn't do anything for me. The worst part about Apollo is this crazy influx of Phoenix/Apollo fans. *brandishes sword; fights for OTP to the death* During the end credits, Phoenix says he might take the bar exam again, and I admit I squeed a little when he said that, but I don't know if the writers will actually go through with it. :/

As far as ships go...I felt nothing during this game. Nothing. I mean, Klavier flirts with, like, anything that moves, and there were a couple suggestive lines, but that was about it. (I'm willing to bet that I'll still find some Klavier/Ema fic that I'll like, though.) I liked a lot of the characters (Trucy = SO ADORABLE, especially when she was a little baby girl in the flashbacks), I just didn't feel any love.

Oh, and the "perceive" thing...still retarded. (Not to mention a big fat pain. I spent forever trying to find the right thing to focus on sometimes. >.< ) And why couldn't Apollo do it earlier in his life, especially since he had the bracelet? (I'm glad there was a reason for the bracelet. Even a stupid reason is better than no reason. Sometimes.) I guess you could speculate that Trucy was taught a little about it by her parents...though Phoenix didn't know anything about it, so they can't have told her much. I hope we find out more about how Apollo ended up raised by some random people in the next game(s?), I mean, why the heck did Thalassa give him up? Also, I read somewhere that the creators have said we've met Aopollo's dad in the game (this game? an earlier game?), which made me go back through the character list...whoever he is, I think he must be dead. For a little while I thought it was going to turn out to be Kristoph (oh, that would have been SO funny XD ), but I think he's a little too young.

Speaking of parents...what's up with Zak, judging everyone by how they play poker, and then trying to cheat with Phoenix? LAME.

And, also speaking of parents, it was kind of funny that Trucy called Phoenix "Daddy" when he was wearing a hat that said "Papa" on it.

After I finished the game, I pulled out the spoileriffic doujinshi I accidentally bought (Trucy was on the cover, but I didn't recognizer her; I thought she was Pearl) to finally read. In it, Phoenix tells Miles that it doesn't matter so much that he was disbarred, since he became a lawyer to find Miles, and he'd already done that. It made me fell less sad about Phoenix being disbarred.

I'm happy that I don't have to worry about spoilers anymore, but I'm sad that now I have to wait for the fifth game. T_T I guess I'll just have to drown myself in fanfic until it comes out.

That's canon, even! I don't know how fans can slash Phoenix with anyone else. :(

Oh well. To each her own slash, I guess.

You could tell me the story. (*sniffle* I miss my bedtime stories.)

I can tell you the story, but that makes it seem like you'll never play the games for yourself. Are you SURE you want to know?

I will tell you all the spoilers you want and never bug you again about playing PW and/or buying a DS if you stick Phoenix and Miles (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=259309&c=1) in a house and tell me how their lives are going once in a while. And also I will love you forever and ever.

the twins' every wish is my command

I don't know the guys, so you have to help out a bit. Please choose a primary and secondary aspiration for each of them.

Primary: Wealth, Knowledge, Family, Popularity, Romance, or Pleasure

Secondary: Wealth, Knowledge, Family, Popularity, Romance, Pleasure, or Grilled Cheese

(I still say you should get the game and create Geoffrey and Kaito.)

I've JUST finished the game.... it was nice! :D Overall gameplay is better than the old ones and the graphics are nicer too, but personally I still like the older games more.

Like you, playing Phoenix in the flashback makes me sob a little. I keep going "Noooooo noooooo I will not present that piece of paper.... it spells DOOM!!!" ;_; HATE the perceive thing, but Kirihito's demon hand is pretty cool. :D I really hope Phoenix will get back to his lawyer self in the fifth game and bring the other old characters along! I want Edgy-poo back! *cires*

As for Kyouya (Klavier right? I'm guessing from your post :P), I really hope he'd go out with Ema (But the sibling rivalry is just as yum). XDD Although I must say I'm a little disappointed with these two, cos Ema is pretty useless most of the time and Kyouya is such a nice guy all along it wasn't as fun beating him. :P But poor guy, pretty much everyone he trusts is evil. And isn't it weird that the magician man was rehearsing his magic show with the songtress this whole time without recognising her? And the Mason series allows me to jump from the present back to before Zak dies and use the information to press him.... right...

Much less moe this time, but it's fun. :DDD Now I'll give it a break and play the whole game in English this time. XDDDD Okay shutting up now. XDD

I tried to not present the paper, but of course it wouldn't let me. T_T And then not seeing the badge in the Court Record while using the Mason System just about made me cry. Poor Phoenix! I hope he really does take the bar exam again.

It was too bad Ema wasn't a little smarter, but she was so fun, throwing her Snackoos around and being grumpy at Klavier (yes, that's Kyouya) that I didn't mind. I thought there would be more between them, honestly, but they barely even talked to/about each other. I'm kind of torn anyway, because I don't know if I'd rather be shipping Kalvier with Apollo or Ema...I guess I'll have to see what happens in the next game. EDGEWORTH BETTER COME BACK ALREADY.

Well, the Mason System was just a game Phoenix set up so the jurists could see all the backstory that wasn't really covered in court. It's not like we're supposed to think Phoenix really jumped from the present to the past and back.

Much less moe this time, but it's fun.

Oh, yes, that sums it up exactly for me, too.

It was my sorriest moment playing the game. D: I definitely want to see him clean and shaven and spikey again! <3

Klavier and Ema are just tOO CUTE togather, I can't imagine otherwise! Kalvier and Apollo!??!!??!? I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but that's one thought that never occurred to me... :P Capcom'd better bring him back. Oh they'd better. Even better, he should get his own spin-off game. <3

Ah, I guess that makes sense, even though it still feels weird. :P

I wonder when the fifth game will be out?
