I cried, i didn't tell her why tho, but that was me thinking about JFA, which... yeah, now that i think about it, did Franziska know that her brother wasn't dead?

It's been a good while since i played that, but i don't think they ever specified if she knew

She was in for revenge for him tho

But like, if she didn't knew he was alive, that's a big f*cking yikes, lost her father and brother in less than a year?, damn (we know she at least has another older sibling and a niece, but still that's like half her family)

Just imagine that, also, can we talk about how betrayed she must've felt?, as a matter of a fact she CRIES when talking to him later and i feel like the fandom puts Phoenix's reaction over hers a lot (not to count her reaction in AAI2 too when Miles "abandons" her again)

Which yeah, i get it, Phoenix pulling a legally blonde and then being hurt is interesting, but also, like, family is also a thing? and thanks to AAI we know that they had always been close and having a sibling disappear and sort of fake their death sounds really f*cking painful

Even if she knew Miles was still alive, she saw him so hurt to do something this drastic and not only that, but almost quit being a prosecutor all together (again, very important in their bond)

(These aren't spoilers since I'm still playing throguh the case lol)

HII ok so technically the different sprite styles arent different games per se its just that the steam release gives you the option to switch between two different sprite art styles (original ryukishi art vs art inspired by the. pachinko). theres also the console port of the game which is the third art style but in my humble opinion they lose a lot of the charm that the original sprites have so LOL

theres two games in the 'series' (the question arcs and the answer arcs) but they both count as a single linear thing its just that theyre split up into two games. so what youd want to do is play the question arcs first before getting to the answer arcs 🫡 i would also highly recommend playing with the voice mod which adds in the voice acting from the ps3 port of the game! even if youre a fast reader (like me lol) and are worried about reading too fast for them to finish speaking i still found that the voices really enhanced a lot of the scenes

in terms of how youd play the actual game its pretty much 99.99% reading with 0 gameplay but youd want to basically read the episodes and then the subsequent bonus chapters that unlock after you finish each episode (for some reason this isnt really something they tell you to do but the story does continue through the bonus chapters later on so itd be kind of bad if you skipped them or went out of order LOL)
