Feb 2 - Day 1 - Case 1-1

Alright first thing in the morning, took a shower, Ate breakfast, brushed my teeth, now I'm ready to get started on Phoenix Wright. So in the words of Dante from Devil May Cry: LET'S ROCK BABY!

Phoenix Wright:Ace Attorney
CASE ONE: The First Turnabout
Major Characters Introduced:Phoenix Wright,Mia Fey,The Judge,
Larry Butz, Winston Paine


The Opening:
The first case opened up with a scene of a statue with blood dripping from it, the camera then pans up a bit to reveal a hand grasping to it, we then see the victim, a woman on the floor,obviously dead since her blood is smearing on the floor underneath her. During all of this we're hearing the assailant gasping, and thinking of how he can get of his dire situation with no one suspecting him.

NOW here I thought we would have to figure out who did it on our own, but to my surprise at the time the game gave us a full visual on who the assailant is and the assailant even announces his plans to place the blame on a bystander he saw earlier. And that bystander in question was Larry Butz, the series first Defendant.

The next scene is in the Defendant Lobby where we get to hear our main character Phoenix Wright(Or Naruhodo Ryuuichi if you prefer his Japanese name) utter his first line in the series:"(Boy am I nervous!)" no surprise he feels that way after all it's his first time as it is ours the players. ^_^ Here we're introduced to good ol Mia Fey, Phoenix wright's Mentor and boss(NOT love interest like so many people in the beginning first assumed her to be.). The pair goes on to have a small chitchat about Phoenix's first case.

It's at this time we hear that Phoenix is acquainted to Larry Butz and learn that the main reason he accepted the case in the first place was because he owed him a favor from the past and that he actually owe his job to him as he's ONE of the reasons he became an attorney. Hmmm interesting eh?

Next up we were properly introduced to our client Larry Butz himself. Not a good first impression for us the players as all he's showing us is that he's overly excitable,over dramatic, and hyper. It's here where Phoenix is first addressed by his nickname "Nick". Which is short for Phoe-nix = Nick. ^_^

We then learn that the assailant we saw earlier, managed to somehow successfully pin the blame on Larry,the victim goes by the name of Cindy Stone(Heh funny), and that Larry was previously dating this Cindy Stone. We also learn that Phoenix has been friends with Larry Butz since grade school and during that time there was a saying "When something smells, it's usually the Butz" that was infamous for always being true when it came to Larry mainly due to his terrible luck, and a case of bad timing.

However Phoenix is determined to prove his friend innocent, the scene switches to the courtroom and this is where the game really begins.

Now here is where I gotta go and actually play through the game from this point. So with that being said, I'll write more in the next update.
