Phoenix Wright: Dual Destinies

[Spinosaurus]

Beat the game.

Spoiler:

Not a fan of how the Phantom has an identity crisis, and that we don't know who they really are and what kind of character they could have been. That made taking them down a much less satisfactory moment than other previous big bads of the series, even Alba. I feel like it would have been much better to have Fulbright to be the Phantom's real identity, no "I don't know who I am!" stuff. This actually kind of pissed me off since I really liked Fulbright. The fact the real Fulbright, who is implied to have been the exact same as how Phantom emulated him, has been murdered by them makes me very sad, as well. :( At least the twist was one hell of a ride, it's just everything after was pretty anti-climactic. Hope this means Gumshoe gets to be back, although I would have loved if he formed a pairing with Fulbright. Would be one hell of a fitting team that'll never happen, dammit.
Is it wrong that I found L'Belle to be the best killer in this one? My only problem with him was his stupid and predictable motive, otherwise I really enjoyed him as a character, especially his theme music. He's no Luke Atmey, though.

I do have to say though, for lacking in having great criminals in comparison to other games, the witness and other NPCs were FANTASTIC. Yuri Cosmos, Robin, Daiman, Finch, Solomon, Hugh, Myriam, June and Jinxie were ALL great. Yuri and Finch having the best animations above all characters, as well.

Great game, and Case 3 was by far the best with how it tackled the characters and the theme of it. (Plus having the B-E-S-T witnesses.) The presentation in this game was unmatched, the animations were super smooth and entertaining and they feel like sprites most of the times. I love it, the best transition to 3D I have ever seen. (Take a cue, Pokemon!)
I prefer AA1 and AA3, though...heck I enjoyed AAI more, and AA2 at least has the best case in the series. The last case in this one left a bad taste, I guess.
