I was addicted to Persona before it was cool. :hipster:

Will listen to commentary when I have the time. Sadly, right now I don't. :P

Wow, I liked those video comments. A lot of it was the same stuff I was going to say. I'll still make my own comments though. You guys should do this for every trial.

Like mine. :P Your new OCCUPATION

Yay, thanks for the review!
Spoiler : Firing up the Turnabout :
You're totally right about theme emphasis, and the fact that Ema's killing doesn't sound a lot like a heat of passion. I can of think of a reason for that, but it still sounds kind of unlikely. But still, it's not like AA doesn't have its share of plotholes, but that's still no excuse.

I guess the trophy was Ema's prized possession, so she carried it around with her. also, if you recall 4-4 and Klavier Gavin with his nail polish of poison, I think they'd allow a statue. Also, the trophy sidequest showed us that Geak had an animosity for Ema, which would get the plaer thinking that perhaps he wanted Ema to get framed. Of course, I'm not saying that's the reason...STOP COAXING THINGS OUT OF ME.

Also, very sorry about the paper examining thing. I had the same issue as you did with that. I playtested it only once, then tried to make it bigger in the editor, but I didn't have time to go all the way back to that scene to see if it was any better.

Every comp or every trial on AAO?

The nice thing about how this was done was the fact that it was our immediately-after reactions, which is what most of the general public will feel.

New poll is up. Let's see what you guys think.

Ha! I still haven't said who won yet!

More rankings:
Length
1. Inferno (good God!)
2. Freezeflame (okay)
3. Firing (just investigation)
4. Elements (just intro)

Length (without filler or other irrelevant content)
1. Freezeflame (most all seemed relevant)
2. Inferno (80% or so seems unnecessary)
3. Firing (mostly relevant but short)
4. Elements (mostly relevant but just intro)

Epicness/Cleverness of Crime
1. Inferno (very clever)
2. Elements (how on earth...?)
3. Freezeflame (bombs! But failed bombs)
4. Firing (oh, another ax murder)

Strength of Prosecution's Case (at end of playable parts)
1. Inferno (defendant's story is incriminating and sounds impossible)
2. Elements (defendant was only one near victim)
3. Freezeflame (witness is far more suspicious)
4. Firing (prosecution's theory has major holes, especially premeditation and disposal of weapon)

Pacing
1. Elements (good)
2. Firing (good, trophy fetch quest was weird)
3. Freezeflame (a little fast sometimes)
4. Inferno (dear God, Inferno! It sometimes has the pace of a glacier made of snails)

Character Good/Bad Ratio (AKA how many I like over how many I want to strangle, and not in a good way)
1. Elements (no strangles)
2. Firing (one strangle, Geak)
3. Freezeflame (Klavier, Ius and the author)
4. Inferno (everyone but Shadow)

That was mainly just there to point out that all the cases had a guy on fire, three had Apollo and Gumshoe and two had Larry. Funny how stuff like that works.

I wouldn't say the video about Inferno was too long, but it was wordy. It wasn't bad, it just had a lot of words. Like, it went on and on and on and repeated itself a lot. I mean, there sure were a lot of words in there. I guess about 90% of it was made up of words, more or less - maybe even 100%. Also, it repeated itself a lot. It was just constant talking. A lot of words. Wordy, it was.

(Sorry, had to make that joke :XD: Seriously though, I kind of had the same feeling when playing the case that they were going for the frames. The crime has potential to be interesting though.)

I hate you, clc. I hate you with a burning passion that is more than the Ten Plagues of Egypt themselves. What I feel for you is the opposite of reverence or honor.
