Pheonix Wright : Ace Attorney!

Hey guys,what's up yo? Played PWAA on my brother's NDS but didn't get the chance to finish playing it. Loved the game so much man,the suspense and the mystery made me yearn for more. So,what did I do about it? Well,its the holidays now,I figured I'd emulate the whole Ace Attorney series on my computer and finish what I left undone. ^_^

Here goes,OBJECTION time!

After a bit of difficulty,may I proudly annouce: Emulation complete! :) Let's dive into the game,shall we.

Case 1: The First Turnabout!

Epic title eh? Someone was murdered,"Dammit,why me!? I can't get caught here...AHA!" The murderer decides to put the blame on someone else. My character(Pheonix Wright's) first case,boy does he sound nervous. :P

Before I start embarking on my first case I'd like to learn how the heck I could save my progress . :/ Can't find an 'external' method to save,so I guess I'll try saving from within the game,like I would with any NDS game (if I had one) .

PW's 'Chief'. >_>

Dressed so scantly,I'm surprised she can walk around the court like she does. In my country,we have to adhere to a certain dress code,and I'm sure as hell that the girls over here can't show off their cleavage like Mia does.Whatever.

What a joker lol!

He said he wanted to die at first,and I thought that was because of some stupid reason like "because Phoenix Wright is my solicitor and he's sooooo incompetent why the hell did  I pick him to defend me!?". Seems not. He wanted to die 'cuz his girl was murdered,yeah the one at the opening scene. Thought the victim was a guy for sure..Meh. Phoenix felt weird,cuz it was Larry who was accused of murder,but he makes it sound as if someone else did it. Yeah,we know it wasn't him,but not our good ol' Phoenix at the time. :P

Court is in session,fools! The Nameless Judge. :/

This old fool is trippin'. Wants to test my man's worth by quizzing him. Guess it can't be helped,Phoenix is a wreck right now . :P

Asked me a few dumbass questions,answered with,ease.

HAHA complimented by the judge but still nervous as heck!

Case Intepretation : Cindy Stone(supposedly Larry Butz' girl) got hit by a blunt object and died due to excessive bleeding.Blunt object being : The Thinker statue. Murdered 1 day after she returned from Paris,with another boyfriend. Proof of going to Paris : Passport. Was a model with low income,leeched several rich men for money.

The defendant,Larry was called to the stand. Supposedly 'dumped' by Cindy although he himself doesn't admit it... >_> Seems like a motive for murder right there,eh!

Says it so confidently..like a boss!

Prosecutor Payne: This is what we mean by getting dumped.

LOL!!!

Larry was asked about his opinion on Cindy after learning other things about her by Mr.Payne,the prosecutor.

Larry : Tha...That's cheating..She-dog!(Bitch,referring to Cindy) I'm SO gonna die,and go to the afterlife and get to the bottom of this!

I should note that I had the chance to stop him from answering,but I didn't,just for the lulz. :P

Question 2: Did he go to Cindy's apartment on the day of the murder?

Larry : Maybe I did,maybe I didn't!

Damn..Like that lackadaisical attitude,but if I was the one asking the questions,I'd be pissed. =_=

I was prompted whether to persuade him to tell the truth or to stop him from doing so. I asked him to do so cuz..Its better to tell the truth,isn't it!? And so my Phoenix did this,without saying a word:

TELL.THE.TRUTH! EPIC XD

Larry followed his confession by saying that Cindy wasn't at home when he went to find her, OBJECTION!! - by Mr. Payne .. Sounded like a Goblin being squeezed at the neck. Anyways.. >_>

Uh oh..Payne says Larry is lying,and that he  was witnessed fleeing from the scene.. o_O Witness #1 comes to the stand.

Here comes a homo. :/ Mr Sahwit. Doesn't sound Japanese or anything,actually it sounds Muslim,but he's a bonafide asian,or at least looks like one. Weiiiiiird.. =_=

Initial testimony.

Testimonial Summary : Was selling newspaper subs,saw Larry fleeing from Cindy's apartment in a hurry,as the phone at Cindy's wasn't working he went for a public phone instead. Claims everything happened at 1:00 pm. Phone wasn't working cuz Cindy's was a cordless one,which doesn't work during a blackout,which occured at the time. Evidence of blackout : In a record,from 12pm - 6pm.

Ehhh I find this way of playing while recording tedious and saps away the enjoyment of the moment,I'll blog about each case after its settled. =_=

After hearing his testimony Mia told me I could cross-examine the witness' testimony to find out inconsistencies in his story which would help to open up the case. This sounded so new to Phoenix,I was worried for a while there. =_="

But he handled the cross-examination admirably,HOLD IT! HOLD IT! ... Nice :D

First contradiction we pointed out : Sahwit said Cindy died at 1,while the autopsy report said she died between 4-5pm. Therefor,OBJECTION!

Like a boss,eh??!!

As soon as Phoenix found a loophole in the testimony,he gained a sort of swag that attracts you to the game much more,just look at his pose and the look in his eyes. "I got ya",its saying.

Payne and Sahwit were sweating their pants off man.

So,Sahwit went on to 'correct' his testimony and gave us a revised version of it.

He 'heard' a voice saying '1pm' from an electronic device,he says. But thats strange,Payne even submitted evidence that there was a blackout in that very apartment,making electronic devices useless during the duration of the blackout. On that note,the cordless phone in Cindy's apartment didn't work due to the   power outage....Obj.

Contradiction,new expression came from Mr.Sahwit,he was more nervous than Phoenix before he embarked on his first defence.

Just look at dat face,lol. Said he saw a table clock,and that clock was the very one used to murder Cindy.

I tried to object,being sure that it was a statue and not a clock,but I was caught off-guard as I didn't know the statue of "The Thinker" was actually a clock. After some confrontations that I can't quite remember,Phoenix kept gaining momentum and finally said out this bold statement :

Dayuuuuum! This guy rocks! He sounded the clock,and it said '8 am' while Payne's watch said it was 11am. Guess we have a case here. Sahwit hit Cindy with the clock and the clock said out the time,which stuck in his brain. '1pm.'

Even so,Sahwit managed to come out with a good point that silenced Phoenix. The clock was running slow now,but who could prove that the clock was slow on the very day? If that couldn't be proved then case closed,Sahwit isn't the killer while Larry Butz is.Hmmm..As Phoenix was close to giving up,Mia told him not to,and keep thinking and digging for contradictions. Finally,Phoenix did just that.

Phoenix claimed that he could prove why the clock was running slow.

Cindy arrived from Paris the day before she died. The time in Paris was 9 hours faster,not 3 hours slower than the time here.Whichever it is..Japan,or America???? :/ Phoenix tied up all the loose ends and the judge proceeded to announce Larry innocent(NOT GUILTY) and took Sahwit,the rightful killer into custody.

Yay for Larry!

So there,Phoenix not only proved his client innocent,but even found the murderer at the same time.Everyone,everyone was taken aback and surprised at Phoenix's capability.

So,so,so,post-case chat. Mia was happy as hell for Phoenix,even offering to have dinner and have a drink together. Larry on the other hand,was still sad but finally faced the truth,that Cindy was taking him for a fool. He was surprised at Mia's curves and offered to take her out,but was flatly rejected.

From here we could see that Larry was a loving albeit easy guy who'd warm up on any girl who gave him a chance to talk to.Oh well,not that I can say anything,I'm exactly the same. :P

He gave Mia a statue  of The Thinker,saying he made one for Cindy while he kept one for himself.

From what he said ,Mia concluded that Cindy didn't take Larry as casually as he now thought she did.

I showed Larry "The Thinker" that was the murderer's weapon. Mia stated that this statue was heavy and Cindy could have taken a much lighter clock overseas had she wanted to.

Hehe,case closed. :) Phoenix told Mia he'd tell her why he became an Attorney over a drink some other time. Before the ending of Case 1,Phoenix said that day was never going to come. Will she be going somewhere..? Or is she gonna die? ... Lets find out.. =(

=Case 1-The First Turnabout= End

Case 2: The Turnabout Sisters!
