Grrrr... If not for sleeping so much I would have totally finished the game before going to work today. I know I'm nearly done with the last case and then I'll play the DLC (Forgot to play that first ><).
I have to say... I'm very, very disappointed. I felt like I was just reading a book on my 3DS. I wish I'd kept track, because it seems like I've presented barely any evidence and the characters just moved the story on all by themselves or needlessly held my hand by telling me exactly what I needed to do. There were also too many points where I was just allowed to try again rather than receiving any penalty to put the pressure on.
There's also too many characters now. It's been all about cameos rather than anything to do with character development until this final case. Honestly, I feel nothing for Athena and Simon even though I do like them. There wasn't this huge, shocking buildup over 3 games like with Maya where I learned more about her and actually nearly cried when her life just kept getting sadder and sadder. Heck, even Edgey's sad past had an impact in the first game because after and during cases he started talking to Phoenix more and more so you were at least curious about him.
Very happy to see Edgey, but his "Objections!" sound like Pete from Goof Troop. Really bad dubbing all around. Cripes. I love what a fop he sounds like in the Japanese anime dub.
Oh, and the M rating is BS. Cartoony blood that appears only for a few moments warrants an M rating? Feh.
