![]() ![]() Maya: Hey! Why is Larry trying to hide what he knows about the night of the crime from you, Nick? I thought you guys were best buds! Phoenix: That’s… probably not far off the mark… Maya: Are you sure? Because that sounded like the distressed wail of a thoroughly traumatized man. Phoenix: …Th-Thanks for the demonstration, Maya. Maya: Yeah! Like… HERE! What do you have to say about your silly ol’ mug, Nick?! Phoenix: Yeah, well! We’ll see what they have to say when I present people with their own profiles starting with the second game! Maya: Too bad no one ever has anything good to say about it. Phoenix: Yup, I make it a point to show this bad boy off whenever I can. Maya: And I know just the thing you always present first! Phoenix: Presenting witnesses with evidence is one way to get them to open up about things, or even just jog their memories. Phoenix: …I don’t think that was meant to be a feature, Maya… Maya: That’s what I like to call “full-on immersion”! It’s like you’re really there expending energy moving from place to place! Every location is only linked with a few other locations, so sometimes you have to move a couple of times in a row to get to where you want to go. Maya: Moving between locations is instantaneous, but sometimes it’s good to make a map for reference. That makes for twice the number of things I have to potentially stop you from removing. Maya: Screens like this that have the little left/right arrows on the bottom are twice as fun because it means we can pan to the other side and back! Maya: Can you really complain when it serves our case? Phoenix: “Highly illegally remove”, you mean… Maya: Well, I especially enjoy this part because this is where we get to “borrow” stuff from the crime scene! Phoenix: What part of our investigations do you NOT enjoy? Maya: Can’t say I don’t enjoy this part of our investigations, either! Maya: I never said anything about me - that rule only applies to YOU, silly! Phoenix: What was that about respecting your elders again…? Maya: Right! I’ll take care of the windy old bag! Phoenix: I’ll leave her to you next time, then. Maya: Nick! Don’t be so mean! Don’t you know you have to respect your elders? Phoenix: …I can think of at least one windy old ba– Maya: Some people sure do like to talk a lot, don’t they? Phoenix: Yeah, although there is such a thing as too much info. Maya: This is where we get to talk with witnesses and other persons of interest to find more info for our case! Maya: Can’t say I don’t enjoy this part of our investigations! The Investigation segments were totally different during our adventure in Labyrinthia, after all. Phoenix: Yeah, but let’s go over them anyway. Maya: All of these commands are pretty self-explanatory, huh? It all boils down to a “game over” when you run out. ![]() Phoenix: I’d rather you phrased it as my remaining credibility… It’s actually how much patience he has left for your incompetency. Phoenix: Then shouldn’t I want to have as little of them as possible? Maya: His Honor’s level of annoyance at you? Phoenix: What are those exclamation points and that gauge in the upper right corner supposed to mean again? Maya: Way to present your Attorney’s Badge. Phoenix: I always know what I’m talking about! Here, I’ll show you! ![]() Maya: That’s assuming you know what you’re talking about when you do, you mean. Phoenix: Hey! I back up my claims with evidence! Maya: Your super-human ability to bluff your way through everything! I can think of at least one other thing you use more often than that. Phoenix: Finding contradictions between a witness’s words and the evidence is the only weapon we have in court. ![]() Maya: At least the inconsistencies in their testimonies usually help us get to the bottom of things. Maya: Not all of them! Remember the one time when. Phoenix: Why is it every witness I face is always a huge liar? Maya: You know! The original “Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney” trilogy, duh! Maya: But it’s good to be home! We’ve been away for so long, I’d almost forgotten how to play our own game! Maya: Hey, don’t sourpuss at me just because he kept showing you up, Nick. Maya: Speak for yourself! I actually enjoyed being in the presence of a real English gentleman. Phoenix: It sounds like someone’s been playing too much “Professor Layton vs. Welcome one and all, and an especially big welcome to all newcomers to the Ace Attorney series! Maybe this is your first time ever looking at the gameplay elements, or maybe you’re a veteran of our recent crossover with a certain Professor Hershel Layton and his number one disciple Luke Triton – regardless of your level of familiarity with how to play these games, Phoenix and Maya are here to give you a crash course! ![]()
