Everything GREAT About Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies!

Episode 3: Turnabout Academy

Spoilers!

(Obviously...)

"Finally, a full case where you play as a female character in both investigation and trial chapters!" *3 wins*

"I like how the badge on Means' suit is supposed to be the scales of justice, but it looks a scared face which may be foreshadowing the professor's true self." *ding*

"Themis Legal Academy's music." *ding*

(About the students in the judge course writing scripts for mock trials) "Inspiring creativity!" *ding*

(Phoenix sleeping on the sofa) "Hopefully, he doesn't have that nightmare again. Though I'd like to see it in 3-D." *ding*

(Phoenix wanting to investigate before the police arrive) "Taking precautions." *ding*

(Talking with Juniper) "Catching up with your childhood friend." *ding*

"Also, foreshadowing the bribery that's been going on for sometime and Juniper's role as the snitch." *ding*

(Hugh O'Conner and Robin Newman appear) "These two. Pretty good characters in their own way." *2 wins*

(Juniper's costume) "Callback to 4-3" *half-win*

"Also, Lamiroir shout-out." *ding*

(Fulbright: A mock... trial? Never heard of such a thing, but it sounds fishy to me! Real fishy!) "Knowing he's actually a spy, this might be true." *ding*

(Athena: Hold it! I refuse to believe that she's the killer!) "Standing up for your friend!" *ding*

"Also, looking at how Fulbright almost glares at her in this cutscene is really chilling in hindsight once we know who-and what-he really is." *ding*

"Klavier Gavin." *ding*

"Also, Guilty Love!" *ding*

(The mock trial) "Definitely on the coolest parts about this investigation, so far." *ding*

"Also, it's cool to see the protagonist of the case from our point of view." *ding*

"What really makes this part better is if Athena is wearing her DLC school uniform. Really goes with the setting." *ding*

(Beginning the investigation) "One thing I forgot to mention is how the banter between our two junior lawyers in this case and the last one is wonderful. We've got Apollo's straight-man to Athena's hyperactive and clumsy rookie, and it's all good fun. I know their dynamic isn't anything new to the series, but still..." *ding*

"And of course this time, we're playing from the hyper one's point of view!" *ding*

(Athena's descriptions of certain characters in the Court Record, including Klavier and Means) "Hahahahahahahahahaha... Means' smile is still scary though, I agree." *ding*

(Phoenix recalling his college days) "Trials and Tribulations callback!" *3 wins*

(Athena's thoughts about Phoenix's "complex emotions.") "The game may not say it due to spoilers, but I'm willing to bet he still thinks about Iris in some ways." *ding*

"It may seem strange that Phoenix and Klavier spoke about the murder rather freely, considering the last time they met, the latter was somewhat responsible for the former's disbarment. But I'm going to say that Klavier may have apologized to our hero off-screen, and there were no hard feelings considering the circumstances." *ding*

(Apollo: Don't let it be a SNAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!) "Metal Gear reference!" *ding*

"And here, we are introduced to one Myriam Scuttlebutt, a living, walking, and breathing Metal Gear reference herself: cardboard box and all." *ding*

(Blackquill gestures Fulbright to explain the case) "Hahahahahaha..." *ding*

(Juniper: And I believe in you, Thena.) "Aww..." *ding*

"Delivery by hawk." *ding*

(Judge: But testimony from a faceless witness is highly irregular.) "Phantom-shadowing..." *ding*

(Athena: Holy shinto!) "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" *5 wins*

(Myriam accidentally reveals herself) "Hi, Myriam!" *ding*

"Also, yep!" *ding*

"The reveal of Robin Newman as a girl is kinda funny but still sad at the same time. *half-win due to overall irrelevance, though*

(Blackquill's nickname for Hugh) "Simon Blackquill: Ace Nicknamer." *ding*

(Robin, Juniper, and Hugh confessing) "Protecting your friends!" *ding*

"One thing to notice is that this is the only trial chapter in the game where Blackquill doesn't break his shackles before his innocence is proven. And yes, that includes the DLC case." *ding*

(Our heroes find out the origin of the "You're a goner!" voice) "Exposing false evidence." *ding*

(Klavier volunteers to help out with the audio) "Helpfulness!" *ding*

(Juniper crying) "D'aww... Someone give the poor thing a hug." *ding*

(Reminiscence ~ Wandering Heart) "Another one of the saddest songs in the series. It really conveys a sense of tragedy like what Juniper's going through right now, and how Apollo feels later about his friend's death later on." *ding*

"Hugh's entire testimony about a body double... It's so ludicrous, I like it!" *ding*

(Blackquill leaves the courtroom with Fulbright) "Hahahahahahahaha..." *ding*

(Hugh's Mood Matrix) "It's actually heartwarming that the one overflowing emotion in this testimony is happiness. Shows that despite his arrogant demeanor and his other faults, he really does care about his friend." *ding*

(Hugh: I'm complete worthless. A perfect zero.) "Damn. Just about anyone in Hugh's position can sympathize with him." *ding*

(Hugh remember the moment Robin created the bands of friendship for him, Juniper and herself.) "Friendship!" *ding*

"Also, this scene where it shows that all three of them are still wearing their bands: their proof of friendship." *I'm giving this 1 and a half wins due to Hugh's over-the-top screaming*

(Means' transformation) "Kind of unnecessary, but dang does he look scary!" *3 wins*

(Robin, Hugh, and Juniper helping to bring Athena out of her traumatic state) "Saving the hero!" *ding*

"Even if he doesn't act nice about it, it's heartwarming in hindsight that Blackquill helps Athena out too, considering their past." *ding*

"Thought Route time!" *ding*

(Athena's experiment to show how Means hid the body as the Phoenix statue) "Hahahahahahahaha..." *ding*

(Athena: Wait... You're not into this kind of thing, are you?) *taking a win away for that comment alone*

(Professor Means' breakdown) "Love this one, and especially the gallery's responses to each alternate punishment he writes on that chalkboard." *1 win for bathroom detail, 2 for retaking the bar exam, 3 for a 30% salary cut, and 4 for dismissal, so that's 10 wins total*

"Also, comeuppance." *ding*

"Fun fact: the localization team changed the movement of Means' hands writing the last letter from the first character in "yuzai," the Japanese word for guilty, to the letter "G." *ding*

"Confetti!" *ding*

"The school festival is back on!" *ding*

(Klavier playing The Guitar Serenade) "Another callback to 4-3." *half-win*

Total Win Score: 77

Award: Training Seminar from Phoenix Wright!

A/N: And that's it for this case. Please read and review like always.

I know I asked you on what I should do about the last two cases in the main game, and I'm still wondering if I should do them seperately or together. Please let me know; it means a lot to me.
