Avoided this thread until now 'cause didn't want to chance running into any spoilers, but just completed the game so yay.

Enjoyed it, as expected seeing as it's an Ace Attorney game, but don't think it's the best in the series or anything. Although, the final case is probably the suavest one in the series so far.

I like Ema and all, but she's a poor substitute for Gumshoe. She was hardly even around for most of the game. Hopefully during the next games she'll become more deeply involved, but yeah, never going to attain Gumshoe legendary status.

(SPOILER)Also, not really sure how much I like the Klavier Gavin as the prosecutor. I mean, I like him and all, just found something a bit lacking with the animosity not there between defense and prosecution. There's no real sense of rivalry there like there was with Phoenix and basically every prosecutor he went up against. Not necessarily a bad thing, but, I dunno. I guess I can understand the need to differentiate. Was extremely happy in the 4th case to take control of Phoenix and see Gumshoe again.

Anyway, like I said overall I enjoyed it and am looking forward to the rest of the series, but I guess I'm most looking forward to it so (SPOILER)we get to learn about what's happened to the older characters in the future. Gumshoe, Edgeworth, Larry, Franziska (<3) and of course Maya and Pearls, all left unattended and so I anticipate they'll get their updates in the next games. Needs more Edgeworth, damn it! And definitely more Franziska.
