why does the judge always let him get away with his ridiculous theories? You try that shit in a real courtroom and you'd get disbarred on the spot
>>343612543
Cuz it's a game!
Judge is senile
>>343612543
Because AA is a parody of the court system
>>343612543

Same reason the prosecution can openly tell the witness to withhold or lie information, whip in court, and stungun phoenix

>>343612543
Why is phoenix a defence lawyer instead of a prosecutor, when nearly every case he is trying to get someone to admit to a crime.
>>343618503
He did mention he wanted to become one I think.
Because he always turns out to be right.
>>343618503
That's the biggest bullshit part of the game.
By the 3rd day of the 3rd case, you literally proved that the killer was anyone BUT your client, and yet somehow the trial is still going on.
Fuck you, Edgeworth. You were willing to switch defendants in case 2, and suddenly you refuse when you already know you're wrong.
>>343618503
How can he earnestly practice law when Japan has an absurd 3-day trial system? He needs to actually rely on paranormal assistance to win cases. How does any other defense lawyer manage to keep their job?
>>343612543
Because they usually lead to the truth somehow.
>>343618995
Defense Attorney's somehow have the disadvantage in court even though they have have some kind of paranormal thing helping them, while all prosecutors have is basic logic
>>343618995
Criminal defense lawyers in Japan are just expected to lose. They're lucky to win more than 5 cases in a career. The whole system is people looking the other way in the worst way possible.
>>343618503
His original intention was becoming one but he ended up a defense lawyer
Whereas Edgeworth originally wanted to become a defense lawyer just like his father
>>343619214
The Japanese are fucking shitheads, I saw a webm and some guy started to beat the shit out of a little kid in public and no one helped out for about 10 minutes, do they really think a small child was gonna sue them or something?
>>343619440
That was China, yo
and I think they have some dumbfuck law where if you interfere or help you can be considered culpable for damages or something
>>343612543
To be fair, half the shit the prosecution and witnesses pull is straight-up retarded, and the only reason why they're allowed to do it is because the judge is a brain-dead pushover.
>>343619440
That was China.
And the reason they were reluctant to help was they don't want to be held responsible if they somehow make the kid's condition worse. In China, if you decided to help someone in need within that situation, you're responsible of any future damage that the person experience.
>>343619440
Dude Japan is fucked, in 50 years it's going to be Akira tier.
>>343612543
Why does the judge allow witnesses to rewrite their testimonies every time they admit to lying?
>>343619618
>>343619639
>>343619641
Doesn't the US have a law that's pretty much the opposite? where if you see someone in life threatening danger, you can get arrested of you don't help out?
>>343619808
No, but there is a law protecting you if, say, you perform CPR but the person dies.
Granted, if someone can prove that you don't even know wtf you were doing, that's a different story.
>>343619715
I could maybe see him allowing the witness to redo their testimonies the first time, as some details are bound to be forgotten, or simply misremembered.
After that, though, they should be slapped with perjury charges all over the damn place
>>343612543
>three-days limit
>guilty until proven not guilty
>attorneys have to investigate or they have no idea what's going on
>evidence popping up in the middle of the trial
It's not realistic in the slightest, lad.
The real question is why does the killer always stick around to try to get the defendant in deeper shit? All they have to do is leave town for three days
>>343622354
that's why subpoenas exist
>>343622813
Not if they haven't the slightest idea of who did it.
Like in the very first case of the first game, Mr Sawhit could have just legged it and nobody would have been the wiser.
>>343622901
Mr. Sawhit was the one who called the police, so he had to go to court, otherwise no one would have found the killer because there was no one else to notice Larry leave Cindy's apartment. Most of the time Phoenix will figure out who the killer is without them willing to testify, like Dee Vasquez
>>343623056
You're right, I also need to replay the games.
>>343618503
phoenix does detective work and proves his client's innocence by proving the guilt of someone else
it's reality it's anime law&order the game
>>343618503
Well as long as he gets the not guilty it works
>>343612543
Put the parrot on the stand
Why is everything related to magic in any way fucks everything and everyone up in this game?
The magicians in Apollo Justice, the psychics in the first three games.. Any form of magic literally just fucks everyone up.
What the hell?
>>343623348
But anon, bestgirl is magic.
>>343619808
Don't think the US does, but many other countries do.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duty_to_rescue
>>343619808
Some places have "Good Samaritan laws," which basically means if you try to help someone but fuck it up you are protected. The Series Finale of Seinfeld fucked it up and so a lot of people think what you said.
>>343623570
You mean Trucy Wright?
She has the better body and face, but not the better personality. I still really enjoy her for some reason, even moreso than Maya, but probably because I always have a 1 year delay playing AA games.
>>343623702
Anon, the confusion arises from the fact that in the US, some states have 'Good Samaritan' laws that compel you to help in some situations. Read what >>343623598 linked.
>>343623723
I was more thinking Maya but Trucy is pretty wonderful too. Also, christmas cake maya in AA6 is ridiculously fine. Those Fey genes age like wine.
>>343623598
>doesn't think the US does
>every specific example in the common law section of his link is a US law
>>343623274
>>343623859
I didn't even read it myself ;^)
>>343623842
>I was more thinking Maya but Trucy is pretty wonderful too
I don't why I really like Trucy, yet I have this deep feeling within me that I shouldn't. Pic related is her best sprite.
>>343623842
Those are mostly special cases for specific relationships. If you're a random person who sees someone in danger and refuse to help, you're not going to jail (although some states can arrest you if you fail to call the police). If your child or a patron at your business are in danger and refuse to help, yeah, you might be going to jail.

Because the developers wanted to make a game where you have to investigate and figure out whodunit but they also wanted you to be "good" and fighting as an underdog.
>>343624592
>those voices
wtf
i never played 3D AA
is this what theyre like
>>343624043
She's cute. I like Maya more for various reasons, mainly dat personality, but Trucy is cute.
>>343624854
voices only come up in cutscenes, it's not like they're fully voiced
but yes those are the voices (except for PLvAA, which had the probably superior ones)
>>343624854
Yes
They're only there for the trailers and the handful of animated cutscenes in game, which is probably why they're so bad.
Heck they didn't even bother getting voice actors for the DS games, those voices are just the developers.
Phoenix's first trial is a month from now
Will you be there to watch him flounder?
>>343625114
i-is that parrot trial scheduled for december this year by any chance
>>343624592
>this isn't wright
Dammit Nick.
Man, for a defense attorney, Phoenix sure does end up on trial a lot
>>343624592
Maya sounds OK but not bubbly enough
Did they change Apollo and Athena's voices, though? They somehow sound... wrong.
>>343625415
I'm pretty sure they're the same voice actors
Apollo's always sounded unfitting, Athena's just sounds bad here
>>343624592
>36 years old
>still sounds like a teenager
>>343623723
trucy a cute
cute!
CUTE!!!
>>343615239
underrated
>>343625484
>36 years old
>not even married let alone ever had a single real girlfriend
Sounding like a teenager is the least of Phoenix's problems.
>>343625352
Not as bad as Maya who's job is to be cute moral support, but manages to end up on trial for murder and/or almost murdered in every damn game she appears in.
>>343625352
As a tank, it's his job to aggro his enemies.
>>343626029
The only game she was in where she didn't get accused of murder was Project X Zone 2
>>343623863
They actually did it. The absolute madmen
>>343625468
I could've sworn Apollo sounded a bit younger in DD. Hm.
https://twitter.com/AbbyLeeTrott/status/749375531825541120
Maya a cute.
scientifically ema is best
and here, i shall prove my conjencture.
out of all 3 assistants, ema stands in the middle when it comes to age, one year older than trucy,(in their respective games) two years younger than maya, thus, she's best of both worlds.
Ema is the first majorly recurring assistant, as a detective in AJ, and an assistant in AAI.
Ema, out of all assistants, seems to be the most sarcastic one, especially in AJ, making her unique, and, by far is the most cultured one compared to others (exchange student, "self styled investigator", and is reportedly good in science)
also has cute glasses
ema is best girl
>>343627825
and yet all she does in 1-5 and AJ is teach you to use fingerprint analysis
>>343623863
Reminder that 2016 is the year AA takes place in
>>343625415
Apollo's voice is the same, it's Orion Acaba.
>>343627920
in 1-5 she kinda has a nice personality, and in AJ she is nice too. her AJ self along with kristoph's remind me of myself.
>>343619618
I think the very basics of that law is present in a lot of jurisdictions. Like, if you see a child drowning are you obligated to help under the law? How far does your liability go?
Technically, all you need to do is call for assistance and then your job is finished. Doing anything further puts you at risk for if you try to attempt a rescue and it goes wrong, like you yank a drowning child out of the water but accidentally use too much force and dislocate their shoulder or something. Why are you going around randomly dislocating the shoulders of children? What, the kid was drowning? So? How is that an excuse for dislocating shoulders? It was an accident? Well sorry doesn't fix anything, now you're liable for the medical costs associated with the dislocated shoulder.
It sounds fucked, but the logic is basically "If you do something bad you should be punished for it even if your intentions were good". And usually most jurisdictions are against putting positive duties to actively assist people in danger, since that just puts more people in danger and leads to ridiculous situations like "If a bank gets held up by robbers and no one tries to tackle the robber down, do you arrest everyone in the building?" as well as "Do you arrest hostages for being hostages instead of helping?"
>>343624592
i was really hoping they'd use the same voice actor as Elise from Fire emblem awakening since they have similar personalities, but she sounds pretty good it'll probably grow on me
>>343624592
The 3d models still look really lifeless
Sprites were so much better
>>343619960
You can't get charged if you don't know what you're doing either unless you do something insanely stupid. US laws are all in favor of the person saving while China is all in favor of the victim. That's why nobody helps people because they believe you wouldn't help if you didn't have a guilty conscious and people will even kill a person that they injure because the penalty for murder is less than if that guy lives and you have to pay his restitution for the rest of his life . China is a shitty country
>>343619808
I'm pretty sure there's a similar law in most 1st world countries, if by helping out you mean calling the police or an ambulance.
>>343628852
I like how Maya's jumps between poses rather than transitioning into them.
>>343628340
>in AJ she is nice too
AJ Ema was a bitch.
>>343628937
how the fuck are they one of the largest countries population wise if people get killed by elevators and escalators on a daily basis
>>343631602
China is so dangerous that the Chinese have naturally evolved to breed in large numbers so that their species survives.
>>343623723
Since the "magic" in >>343623348 includes channeling, he could mean Maya or Pearls as well.
>>343631717
It's not as bad as whatever you believe
>>343612543
>why does the judge always let him get away with his ridiculous theories?
Because he can prove it after some bullshitting...
