Ace Attorney- Spirit of Justice (77) Give me the Discount 

I think the first time we learn of Phoenix's fear of heights was back in Trials and Tribulations, he had a rough time crossing Dusky Bridge. Him later falling from it probably exacerbated the issue.

10:57 You are likely thinking of Vera Misham, the defendant in the final case of the Apollo justice game. She would often use a sketch pad to draw little pictures because she was very shy.

In terms of Phoenix’s fear of heights, it most likely stems from when he fell off the bridge in T&T Case 5!

23:56 According to the Wiki: "His full English name may be a reference to the word "persnickety;" which can mean a fussy or precise person(The rest contains small spoilers)" French - Henri Goureux: His full French name is a play on "rigoureux", meaning "rigorous". German - Bastian MacEnnick: His surname may be a play on the English word "mechanic".

The whole shoulder-mounted phone thing is giving me L'Belle flashbacks. LOL

Sorin is like if Yusuke from Persona 5 merged with Hugh O'Connor from Dual Destinies. 10:59 That was Vera Misham, the cute shy artist from Apollo Justice!

To answer your question at the end, no, compared to the final case of the main game this one is not nearly as long. I want to say it should be about half as long? Give or take with your added commentary, but don't worry about it taking that long, for sure.

"Costco Sephiroth" is such a good nickname for Pierce. Lucah never disappoints when it comes to nicknames.

Pierce Nichody = Persnickety Also, Dumas Gloomsbury = Doom & Gloom

Lucah: Hey, it's nice to meet you. Pierce: This world is imperfect... Lucah: What? Pierce: If only I could wipe away the impurities-- Lucah: Is anyone else listening to this...? Pierce: --and make it as beautiful as me!

I knew that Lucah would be smitten by Pierce!

28:25 The oldest trope in murder mysteries: The butler did it.

11:00 Lucah pulling back memories of Vera Misham the mute counterfeit artist

Well, we finally get to meet Ellen's beloved fiancé Sorin. There's no doubting he's a genius, and this certainly isn't the first introverted witness we've had to talk to (Vera Misham is who you're thinking of, as everyone else has pointed out), but his lack of interest in talking about Ellen and her being accused of murder is very troubling. He's certainly more invested in the theory of time travel than about her. Makes one wonder what Ellen sees in him during this first meeting Nick and Maya have with him. We even get to meet the Sprocket family butler, Pierce Nichody. When it's your duty to cater to the needs and whims of the people you serve, having a robot on your shoulder that repairs things and also acts as a communication device must really come in handy. Unfortunately, it seems he, like the rest of the Sprocket family, believes Ellen is guilty.

The person you are thinking about that talked to us on paper was Vera from Case 4 in Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney

28:57 Butlers are actually historically the highest of servants, basically all the servants' boss

I think the lemons Costco Sephiroth was talking about are for if the madam chooses a drink other than milk tea, like water or sweet tea.

phoenix's fear of heights was established in the third game, to give further reason why him running across the burning bridge to save maya was both foolish but also badass

Sorin! Always lost in your books. What have I said about watching your ba-- oh, wait. Wrong game.

Wait hold on I can’t breathe because of Costco Sephiroth 😂

I loved investigating this beautiful place with the nice investigation music.

22:12 This is the moment I’ve been waiting for all dang game. I’m so glad you connected his design to Sephiroth! Pierce will always be Butler Sephiroth to me! (Going nuts)

"There's going to be a lot of British accents. I apologize to the entire nation of England." Just wait until Great Ace Attorney, which is mostly set in England.

11:02 I don’t remember if there was someone who only spoke via writing, but the closest I can think of that I think you’re thinking of is Vera Mishim, who drew pictures to express her emotions.

[Names and their meanings] Ellen Wyatt = All in white Dumas Gloomsberry = Doom & Gloom Soren Sprocket = Soaring Rocket Pierce Nichody = Persnickety Don’t forget to show your badge to everyone, and check their profiles often.

Omg, Sorin is so cute. Also Maya, how did you forget butlers are real, you were kidnapped by someone pretending to be one!

5:41 MR TICK TOCK! he was such a nice character from that movie

I'm going near-fully blind into this case and I cannot believe Sephiroth is here.

"We have a lot of British accents coming up." Boy, do we ever. Just not right away.

Nothing like watching a Lucah Ace Attorney playthrough video while on my break. :) On the question of the witness who was like Sorin, you are probably remembering Vera Misham from the Apollo Justice game's final case. She mainly communicated by drawing on her sketchpad due to her shyness keeping her from most verbal communication. For the pun on Pierce Nichody's name, I would say it's a play on the word, 'persnickety.'

To answer your question, if you keep going at the same pace with videos that are around 40 minutes long and we add some buffer time, we would have around 10 more episodes to go until we reach the end of the case!

Phoenix: “Maya, can we address the elephant in the room? Your obsession with 🤬 ELEPHANTS!!”

Looking forward to where this case goes, cuz I have no idea! I got SoJ on the 3ds, but didn't realize there was dlc until *after* the eShop closed, so I get to experience this at the same pace as Lucah!

23:34 *laughs in Great Ace Attorney where every character is British in some form*

"who was it who spoke via writing stuf?" you're probably thinking of Vera Misham, who emoted via drawing on a big sketch book

Maybe you’re thinking about Vera Misham from Apollo’s game. She used a drawing pad.

'multifarious' is like using 'utilise' instead of 'use'. Just say 'various' or 'multiple' like the rest of us Sorin.

"There's no surviving a fall from way up here" Yeah, there's no river below to catch you resulting in nothing but a cold. really, Phoenix gets in situations most people would die and just walks away gets hit by a car and hits a telephone pole? sprained ankle falls of a burning bridge into a freezing river? a cold (then again, if he does get a cold, he's out cold, pun intended)

I kinda like the steam punk aesthetic on the new characters, what with the gears and machine accessories.

If I had to guess, I would guess around 10-12 episodes left.

Double the discount FF in this game huh? Discount Seymour with Garan and now discount Sephiroth with Pierce.

Sorin is like that quiet kid in school who doesn't interact much and is just focused on his own thing. As an introvert I can relate to him.

Return to Oz. A favorite childhood movie of mine that makes we wonder, as an adult, of why it was a children's movie.

As a reminder, you do have a "to-do list" in your Court Record, the Notebook section, I believe it's called.

Steampunk Sephiroth totally did it, calling it now.

Hey Lucah when you get the chance show Larry your badge there's some good dialog he'll say

Man, I haven't thought about return to Oz in years. I remember loving that movie growing up doing a marathon between wizard of Oz and return to Oz.

So, this game is just a Final Fantasy x Ace Attorney crossover? First Ga'ran with the Seymour hair, Soren with Cloud's "Not interested" and now Nichody with the Sephiroth look

On the next new episode of Lucahjin, old lady yells at babies.

Pierce Nichody... persnickity. That's a good pun, I think that may be my favorite of the game.

@lucahjin 6:50 bloody vaping! The amount of customers in my shop (🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿) who buy them. I keep trying to up sell the *IVG 2400 4-in-1 Coffee Edition* the looks on their faces!! 🤣🤣

Please lucah, give him the neclord voice.😊

With most of the old crew in the case, and no personal stakes at play. It truly feels nostalgic.

It's still incredible to be how I just watched episode 77 and youtube is like "Hey, wanna watch episode 80?"

I think you'll probably wrap up this case around episode 85

Maya was literally once in the hostage situation of a butler, even though he was phony. So maybe she thinks there’s only fake butlers now.

4:42 "She's not gonna go that crazy, is she?" We're talking about Maya here.

This is the perfect game to make someone feel insecure about their age

If Phoenix were to refer to Ellen, he'd call her "Ms. Wyatt", as per his job.

Ah the good old *he’s handsome, he did it* logic from Lucahjin. Kristoph Gavin anyone?

While I don't think I've ever seen Return to Oz, I have read a number of the Oz books, including Ozma of Oz, the book that Return to Oz most draws from. On the other hand, it was many years ago, so I don't feel confident answering for their quality.

Zvarri! My Ace Detective instinct tells me... The butler did it!

34:25 You used to call me on my shoulder phone... Late-night when you need my love....

Honestly though, steampunk downtown abbey would make for an AMAZING tv show

@1:20; To be fair, it's entirely possible that Case 3-5 is what caused him to develop a fear of heights, and...then there's the time skip before Apollo Justice.

Just in case You're curious. Pierce name is a pun on "Persnickety". A word that describes a very posh or uptight person, A classic stick-in-the mud type so to speak. Quite fitting for a classic butler.^w^

Yay! pierce is just a little older than me so I'll take him as a sugar daddy, thanks.

I won't lie. When I first saw Pierce, I thought he was a female.

I absolutely love Sorin’s character design and his personality (though that part isn’t until much later), but i absolutely hate that paper airplane animation. It takes so long and so stupid that Phoenix always gets it by it.

Pierce gives me vibes of Kirumi Tojo from DRV3, while Sorin gives me Togami vibes.

*Persnickety* You're welcome

Judging from how long other let's players take, I would estimate you have about six or seven 40-minute episodes to go.

@lucahjin 11:00 Vera Misham was it? From AAAJ

2:22 this could be on an aro/ace subreddit 6:59 thanks i was about to say 19:58 OK so, imagine this. You're going to Paris, France from Earth. In reality, you would have to travel using height, as well as two sideways directions, which takes a lot of time out of your day. What if you could travel through space-time to Paris, France from Earth? You'd get there much faster, one way or another. There's also the potential of using the fact that the Earth is constantly moving really fast but in actuality I think that acknowledgement of the sheer velocity of the Earth might kill time travel. If you time travel a few months back without any displacement in Space then all that will be there to greet you is the cold black expanse of space, where Earth will be at the time from which you time traveled. 22:12 gender :)

Here he is the character who made me realize i was gay

Blimey Sorin’s like the N. Tropy of AA

Pierce Nickody = Persnickety, or a fussy or detail-obsessed person.

Did anyone else notice how, at around 13:40, Sorin is blocking the first letter in "Flying Chapel" to make it "Lying Chapel"? 👀

34:47 Ok wait, the “madam”? Who could he possibly have to talk to on the PHONE about serving tea to a “madam”? Wouldn’t the people who work under him and who he serves all live in this house? Why would he be calling someone at a different location? Is this dude making the detention center employees treat Ellen like high society by serving her milk tea with lemon slices?

I thought after the 3rd trial that game has lost it but now that Sephiroth is here I truly question if the game ever “had it” to begin with

Yeah, Pierce really is giving sus vibes. After all, in a mansion murder mystery, it's always the butler.

I spat out my drink at costco sephiroth..

The joke is “Persnickety”

This case is around the same length as Turnabout Reclaimed, the DLC case in Dual Destinies (aka the orca case), so this whole case should take about as long as that one, plus or minus an hour?

Second shoulder phone we have had too.

I wonder if by "not letting Soren's feelings interfere with his responsibility", Pierce was only referring to Ellen or to any woman Sorin might want to marry. If it's the latter, he better realize that he's basically dooming the family to have no heir.

23:45 Pierce Nichody: His full English name may be a reference to the word "persnickety;" which can mean a fussy or precise person, Sorry, but it can only use the first part because the second part is spoilers

Wait time travelers do exist! 😮It is so common in fact everyone dose it without ever realizing. Every night we are propelled 6-8 hours into the future. 😂 Persnickety /adjective/ means: placing too much emphasis on trivial or minor details; fussy.

Pierce Nichody = persnickety

50/50 with food & marriage Reese? Where’s that leave *streaming, simping over Edgeworth & horses* then? 🤣

2:15 Damn, facts though?

something something dahlia hawthorne

Pierce Nichody = Persnickity

Bear in mind - I haven't played this case, but... this is totally one of those rare instances where the butler REALLY DID DO IT, isn't it?

First Seymour, now Sephiroth. When is Ultimecia going to appear?

Sephiroth from Wish

yeah pierce being a 'butler' definitely feels weird to me though maybe i just don't understand rankings there or its a mistranslation. Him being a higher up than Gloomsbury who Ema said was 'head servant' seems wrong thought butler was just another word for male servant pretty much which i'd assume the head servant would be well... the head of.

Pierce looks a lot like Korekiyo wow

Lol I swear that's my mindset too. You introduce a butler and I'm automatically gonna assume they did it. But I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this too having not seen this case before. What is with these games lately with good lookin' butlers? XD

People, watch Return to Oz. I love this movie, it's really good.
