FINALLY finished Dual Destinies and boy that was a fantastic last case,,, it actually might be my favorite case overall. Well techincally speaking I didn't actually finish; there's still Turnabout Reclaimed but I don't consider that to be a part of the main story (especially since,,, Wright defends an orca apparently...?) so I'll probably see what the case has to offer at some point, just not when I should be hurrying up to finish up all my summer homework

As predictable as the ending was, it was really satisfying to see everything work itself out. The last bits of dialouge that was directed towards the Phantom after showing off their evidence reminded me a lot of something else, but I can't really place my finger on it,,, all the talk about true selves and masks I guess kinda reminded me of something that could have been said in Persona but honestly I have no clue

Seeing Athena cry was! actually really relieving, especially considering the quote that's been a part of these games since the very first. and Apollo accusing Athena was also really well done in my opinion; considering how his law career began (by realizing his own mentor was a killer) on top of the circumstances what he did was completely justified

I also can't believe the game missed an oppertunity to make a reference to the case with Fugio Tigre and how the Phantom isn't the first one to impersoniate Pheonix

the bad ending was,,, pretty sad. In terms of what happens, it was depressing, but it wasn't anything unexpected, and in the one where Blackquill gets convicted again I felt like it wasn't excuted as well as the one in Justice for All. It was still impactful, but not nearly as much as it could have been, I feel? but then again in terms of difficulty I felt like the last case was actually not that hard, so granted to get that bad ending you'd probably have to try a bit to get it, meaning that there's less of a reason to tell the player "you messed up" and rather just say "here's what could have happened if you messed up".

I'm also really sorry for talking about the same things here over and over whoops
