Morgan Fey is fun to write as a complete nutcase, even if that's not a completely fair interpretation.

... Just sayin'.

[miss_prince]

I feel like as she gets more and more desperate through out the series it becomes more fair :P

Of course, we don't get to see her as she plots the events of 3-5.

I love Morgan and her snarking. And she's so passive-agressive at Phoenix about Maya (... while plotting to kill her) and like.. EVERYTHING ELSE. I lol'd

Stupid character limits. ~_

Heh... thanks for the quote and no, it's not just the culprits, it's everyone.

About gameplay, I'm probably a Ms Plod myself because I never had any real problems about the progression of presented evidence. I mean, it's quite easy to know whodunnit in all the games and not too hard to work out how they dunnit, what I find most interesting is the way you have no real control on how the trial progresses because, as a defense attorney you have no power (for example you can't ask a witness to avoid saying things, if they are against your defendant and peripherally connected to the murder itself); so you have to use what you have to force the trial to go in the direction you want and have to do it one small step at a time.

I love the magatama and its use in the investigation phase because it works like the trial phase. I confess I'm not enamoured of the CSI-like gimmicks in 1-5 and AJ, so that's probably just me. I also love the graphics and the music of it.

In no particular order:

- Turner Grey is like Bruce Ismay of Titanic fame, isn't he? If the weather girl says it won't rain, he won't carry an umbrella even if the sky is cloudy. If he gets wet it's her fault. He doesn't delegate, he dumps the responsibility for thinking for him on others. I love the absurd spazz though. Also, he's one of the only two victims we meet before they snuff it.

- Mimi Miney. I loathe her. Lessee... she's a nurse, so her pay isn't high; how does she manage to keep her sister (Ini's a uni student, yes, but she lives at home with sis and I can't imagine that she, like, got a scholarship for, like, the occult), buy an imported sports car and pay for petrol and upkeep and suchlike? She must have either A) demanded Dr. Grey gave her lots and lots of work hours, telling him she could do it thus feeding his 'it's her' problem' syndrome or B) she made Dr. Grey pay for sexual favours and he was insatiable. In other words she's responsible for the death of 14 patients plus her younger sister; does she take

I don't think what you have to say is boring at all. ^_

[flyingskull]

I realise I was utterly unclear about Morgan, sorry. She is a cobra, no doubts about it, what I was - badly - trying to say is: Pearl does not act like an unloved child, she's much more secure than Maya, much more assertive and, once she disobeys her mother's order not to talk to people, she's not shy at all with adults.

I don't know, I may be utterly wrong and I rather detest the woman, but Mia, Maya and Pearl don't act like neglected or abused children and they have a pretty solid moral code which can't have been all Misty because, to be honest, Misty hasn't struck me as a good mother or a person of great integrity either. Who knows? Maybe the girls brought up one another and that's all there is to it.

Well, yes, Fransiska is not a nice character and so not very likeable, but I do like her because for one, Manfred and for two, I used to be somewhat like her at her age, soo... heh.

[luminece]

Oh! Don't worry - I understand what you mean about Morgan. I don't think that Morgan ever neglected or abused Mia, Maya or Pearl. What frustrates me most about Morgan is that she was using Pearl, whether she said she did it 'for Pearl' or not. It's righteous indignation against misusing her role as Pearl's mother, as Maya's aunt, to use their trust in her for her own agenda.
Like Phoenix, I despise betrayal.

Yeah - Misty Fey = bad mother. The icing on the cake there is going along with the whole plan in 3-5. That was some kind of stupid, and definitely not being a good mom. (And I say this completely seriously as a mom).

'Kay. So.
I just love this case. I find it interesting from the beginning to the end and all in all this is the case that I found the most enjoyable to play in JFA.
I can't really describe it coherently, but the atmosphere of the case is awesome.

Then there's ofcourse:

- Lotta. I loved her in 1-4, and her return was a very pleasant surprise.

- Franziska. <3

- Mimi Miney. Yeah, so I'm a nurse too. She has my sympathies.

[dr_sipp]

Okay, so as I was playing through this case I couldn't help but notice how hard Maya is on herself. More than she is in 1-4, there is little of her perky disposition (except in the presence of Pearl, did anyone else notice how she perked up right away when Pearl was present? Not that this surprises me because Maya does that all the time, but I wonder if it's on instinct?) and if there's anything this case proves, it's that Maya has horrible self-esteem

[luminece]

Wow. It seems you've nailed Maya pretty well. She was really down even before the channeling. Later, in Justice For All and Trials and Tribulations, it's obvious that this whole incident has effected her.

I guess I missed some of this because I was in 'gotta catch the real murderer' mode.

[militarypenguin]

Great analysis.
