Feb 2 - Day 1 - Case 1-1 Continue

Due to the fact that my friend had to stall as much as my time as possible while hanging out with him I was late in finishing up the first case today. Meh I suppose I'll just be brief in this post now.

One of the series first joke moments appeared in the section where Payne asked Larry if it was true that the victim dumped him recently, and Larry in response proceeded to compare their relationship to such infamous couples like Romeo and Juliet, Cleopatra and Mark Anthony. Phoenix then proceeds to ask this specific question in his head in response "(Um... Didn't they all die?)" I remember when I first got to that part I giggled.

After a bit of banter between Larry,Phoenix, the Judge and Payne the scene then shifts to finally calling this "Witness" who claimed to have seen Larry fleeing the scene. Hmm Now I wonder who would make such a accusations like that? Why only our dear assailant himself who we now know as Frank Sahwit. He explains that he was selling newspapers from door to door during the incident, after we hear it, we then get a chance to cross examine our first testimony of the series.

I would like to point out that in this case since the game doesn't explain to us about the "press" ability most people probably didn't even bother to press any of the statements at this part, sure the action at this point is unnecessary, I still thought it was something fun to do nonetheless.

The very first contradiction will always be remembered by us Phoenix Wright fans as the most EASIEST and OBVIOUS one to spot if you pay even a little bit of attention to both the testimony and the evidence in the court record. But it's still possible to mess up by mixing up the evidence to catch the contradiction which can happen if you haven't played in a while which I have done at this point. ^_^ ;(So much for going for a perfect streak) We got to see our first nervous culprit at this point.

We then move on to another testimony which we then have to cross examine, after the first obvious contradiction I'm sure most of us gotten the idea on what we had to do next right? Once that's done we then got to see our culprit sweating a lil bit more and not appearing as confident as he did in the beginning.

We then switch the third Testimony cross examination of the case, it's here where we the theme during it changes to a slightly more exciting version of what we've heard up to this point signaling the fact that we're getting closer to the truth.

Catching him on the contradiction here makes the tune builds up even faster, which at the time when I first got to this point, hearing it combined with the fact that our culprit was starting crack a little bit actually got me more pumped up and excited. It's a really nice tune.

After explaining our theory on what happened to the court and the judge asking the witness on his take on it. Our friend finally snaps and Phoenix Wright gets his first form of "abuse" in court. Which was a wig getting thrown in his face. ^_^ At this point he goes frantic and even says stuff that would incriminate him even further however the judge asks us if we have any proof on our theory which we do so we go and explain it. Now after all that is said it would appear that we've won HOWEVER our friend has one more trick up his sleeve and it looks like we don't have any way to solve his trick.

However it's here we get a little bit of help from our mentor Mia and after she gives us a hint she then leaves the rest up to us to figure out. Which again isn't all that hard to solve as this is the first case after all. ^_^

Once that's accomplished we finally get to see Phoenix Pound the final nail in Mr.Sahwit's coffin or as Phoenix called him before he faints "Mr.Did it. lol

After all is said and done the verdict to our first case is:

NOT GUILTY

Awesome

And that concludes the first case to Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney. A very short case but it was a nice introduction to the series in my opinion. Too bad I messed up in the beginning of this case other wise I would have perfectly completed this case. >_<
