question for those in the know: does the recurring phrase "i leave the rest in your capable hands" have an equivalent recurring phrase in the original japanese text? meaning, whatever mitsurugi said in the original script, does it get repeated verbatim by other characters in different contexts like in the english version? or is it just the localization team taking liberties
#ace attorney#gyakuten saiban#ace attorney investigations#the great ace attorney#it's one of my fav recurring things and i wanna know#lang and de killer and sholmes all say it at some point. there are more but these are some examples

i finally, FINALLY have the opportunity to binge drawtectives s3 and i think julia's really outdone herself. obviously it's visually stunning, the cinematic as midnight alley opens up to the public is pure magic. julia lepetit will never live down her reputation of refusing to cut corners much to the combined awe and exasperation of her cohosts, but what a treat for us the viewers. beyond that, the immediate impression i get is that the unfolding mystery, plus the drawing challenges, plus the rp are all presented in a way that feels both more seamless, more purposeful, and less meandering than in the first two seasons. it's an improvement in every way. the season isn't done yet and i'm not even caught up to the newest episode, but i think this is the best season of drawtectives yet

there's one emotional beat i think plvspw handles better than most mainline aa games...
...and it's the tragedy of maya getting executed by mistake. phoenix is shown to be, understandably, really shaken up by it. important characters die all the time in aa games but a major weakness is that the living characters don't get any real time to sit with their feelings and mourn. which is normal in the middle of the case because the world is a legal hellscape and lawyers simply don't have the time. they've got clients to defend and a tight deadline to save them. they're sad about it after the trial ends but we don't get to see it. we just skip ahead a few months to the next murder case
there are a couple things that work that normally wouldn't because of typical aa conventions: there's the way that professor layton games are written and broken up into continuous chapters, so there's no break at all. and that maya "dies" at the end of a case under no mysterious circumstances as we fully witness what happens to her. there's no need and no urgency to solve it, it's just sad and even sadder that it was a preventable accident
i don't think they pulled it of flawlessly, of course. there's a meta understanding that maya fey, your beloved sidekick and the franchise's original quirky assistant girl, can't really be dead. fans know that the writers wouldn't kill her off period, let alone in the crossover game of dubious canon. and we know that professor layton games never reach this level of violent (despite the witch burning cutscenes being REALLY gruesome in their suggestion). it makes me a little sad, that they would only choose to elaborate on phoenix's deep hurt knowing that it wasn't permanent. don't get me wrong, i'm relieved that maya wasn't actually killed. but narratively her death (while fake) is in service to phoenix's character, which i'm less okay with. i'm actually a tad disappointed in maya's overall role because she didn't have much to do. which is why i'm in two minds about my praise of phoenix's mourning
to summarize: i'm ehhhhh about maya's "death" in the first place but the positive is that we get to see some emotions that we wouldn't normally, because the structure of the story differs from the standard aa game. BUT i'm conflicted because it happened and only could happen in an scenario where the stakes weren't real. BUT ALSO, i don't want maya to die for real!

it makes complete sense why audiences would find it more exciting, and i say this as someone who likes both. it does kind of bum me out that monster prom massively overtook its primary gameplay inspiration, The Yawhg (2013) and now it's since faded into relative obscurity
#monster prom#the yawhg#i guess it was already like 5 years old when MP was released. and then they kept making sequels so

yesterday, on a complete whim, i played a date with death for the first time after letting it sit in my steam library for months. indeed, by PURE HAPPENSTANCE i started it yesterday, the same day the new dlc was scheduled to drop and yes i did buy it and yes i got every ending and achievement and had sex with the grim reaper with every combination of genitals and insertion preference. all in all it was a productive sunday afternoon
#a date with death#two and a half studios#the (completely free) base game was better than some 30-40 dollar romance games i've played

i feel like i can't fully articulate why i find gaku's vastly disparate parentage compelling. like mr. yaotome is a business/entertainment executive so gaku grew up privileged in that regard, but also his dad is such a massive fucking shitheel that his refuge is volunteering to work food service "under cover" for his maternal grandparents' humble little soba shop, like a commoner. (i'm being facetious, it's too cynical a read when it's just that he's a good grandson who knows that soba is a more honest and noble job than showbiz. and after trigger went independent, it's probably not even less lucrative)
then there's the question of how gaku's parents married in the first place. it's hard for me to understand how the ever-prideful sousuke, too transparent about how he's never gotten over tsumugi's mom, settled for someone from such a normal family. if he couldn't have true love i would think he'd aim for status instead. or he was straight up going to propose to any unfortunate woman who'd give him a child to abuse and turn into his employee which. okay yeah maybe i'm simply inferring too much and that's actually exactly what happened
#I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS#idolish7#yaotome gaku#disclaimer i'm anime-only so idk if the game ever talks about it in more detail

while i'm on the subject of plvspw: you know what's some fuckin bullshit ass luck? the abysmal current state of the used games market + the overall scarcity of the game itself means that cartridges go for upwards of $120 USD. i just so happen to own a copy that i purchased back when the game first came out and..... my fucking 3DS can't read it. won't even register on the home menu. i can't play it via my legitimate and legally acquired device. it's useless and valueless and it's mine. fellas i hate it here!!!!!!!!
#“just emulate” yeah i DID but i'm still PEEVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#professor layton vs phoenix wright#plvspw#plvsaa#professor layton#ace attorney
