Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney/Fridge: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

* Two things, both to do with the first poker game between Zak Gramarye and Phoenix Wright. At first, I asked how Phoenix could beat such a seasoned player, who had previously only lost to someone who literally had a super-power that allowed him to pierce through others' lies... and then I remembered how Nick wings his way through every trial he's ever been involved in. He's a master of bluffing, and ''that's'' how he won. -[[User:Anomaly]]

** On the other hand, the strength of the jury comes from its weakness of relying on emotional anecdotes rather than proof. Phoenix picked the perfect case to take advantage of what could potentially have been a disadvantage for the defense in some types of cases.

*** On yet another hand, the jury not requiring as much proof as the Judge may seem like a disadvantage, but remember, that's to convict a witness. The Judge's standards of evidence to convict a defendant are much lower than, say, a sane normal person who can tell things don't make sense. Thus, until the police start arresting actual murderers, the Jury System will make the defense's job much much easier.

* Not long after the game's initial release, there was some complaining about how cocky and out of character Phoenix seemed to be during {{spoiler|the flashback case in 4-4.}} But the fact is, he had every ''right'' to be. Phoenix had just {{spoiler|beaten both Dahlia Hawthorne and Godot and had finally surpassed his mentor in the process. In other words, he had just closed the book on basically every piece of unfinished business in his entire life. Plus, for the first time, ''he'' was the one up against a newbie. Sure, Godot had technically never prosecuted before, but he had already been set up as being a challenging opponent by Luke Atmey, and he also had years of experience being a defense attorney under his belt. In contrast, Klavier was a rock star who randomly decided to become a prosecutor. No experience, no reputation, no grudge against Wright... it was natural for Phoenix to be feeling good about himself during the trial. Of course, that just made the whole diary page debacle that much more depressing.}} To be fair, said complaining has essentially ceased, possibly because people came to a similar conclusion.

** In addition, only a prosecutor who is really searching for the truth could ever defeat Phoenix Wright in court... {{spoiler|and unlike Payne, Edgeworth, the Von Karmas or Godot when Wright initially faced them, Klavier Gavin began his career as a prosecutor searching for the truth. It only makes sense for Wright's ultimate defeat to be from a prosecutor such as him. The only other time when Wright had been defeated in court was by Edgeworth who had chosen to become a prosecutor who wanted to search for the truth.}}

** "My sham", no less.

* The bloody card was {{spoiler|removed from the crime scene}} in case 1 while Phoenix was heading upstairs to call Kristoph. This means that the call was placed ''while {{spoiler|Kristoph was tampering with the crime scene}}!'' (Apparently {{spoiler|Kristoph has a better cell network than Phoenix}}.) Suddenly, it makes a lot of sense that {{spoiler|Kristoph}} made the fatal slip-up about the "flawless bone china pate" when he forgot what he was and wasn't supposed to know about the man {{spoiler|he had seen while leaving the restaurant}}. Trying to {{spoiler|talk to Phoenix, be casual at first, pretend he has no idea what happened until Phoenix tells him about it, and talk about the victim using his typical erudite speech without revealing anything he shouldn't know about him, all the while with a dead body and unconscious Orly nearby and the concern that Phoenix might come back down the stairs,}} must have been hard.

* When you listen to it closely, the prologue song and the song for Drew Studio sound a lot like each other. {{spoiler|If you think about it, this make sense. The beginning opens with (probably) Drew (or Vera) drawing the scene of Phoenix playing cards with Shadi. In case 4-4 you actually find out that Drew (again, or Vera) actually had drawn that scene.}} Listen to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERxANRgACQE this] first and then [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCE-UCsnpos this] and you will hear what this troper means.

* Case three involves {{spoiler|an item that can be used to create a never named deadly poison}}, and then case four comes along revolving around {{spoiler|a "rare and hard to get" poison}}.
