Currently several minutes into Chapter 06. Not sure whether what I'm about to mostly discuss came from the end of 05 or the beginning of 06, so I suggest erring on the side of caution and not clicking until you're about ten minutes or so into Chapter 06.

For two days in a row now I've felt like I'm going to clear the game "tonight," but I haven't gotten to play too much recently. (An hour here, a half hour there.) Right now I'm in the part of Chapter 8 where ...

Paused fairly early into the second half(?) of Chapter 09. Specifics of where I am / what I've seen in the first spoiler box below; discussion proper in the spoiler box after that.

So, I've reached what the game is calling the Epilogue -- more on that in just a second -- and I'm about ten or so minutes into it. It's hard to say really, and at this juncture I'm just going to have to ask that you click the spoiler box at your own risk rather than providing the nested spoiler tag clues since ... well, let's face it, a) I'm so near the end of the game anyway and b) there's been oodles of spoilerific information revealed and I really don't want to have to list it all off one by one to bridge the gap between my last post and this one.
But first ... that chapter identifier. "Epilogue," huh? HARDLY! I wouldn't call this a "pet peeve" of mine since it's not the sort of thing that happens with enough regularity to be considered such, but if it were a more regular occurrence for someone to confuse the word "epilogue" for "the last chapter of the tale" then it would definitely qualify as a pet peeve! UGH! How illiterate do you have to be to think that an epilogue -- a chapter which occurs after the main story has been wrapped up -- is the same thing as a final chapter -- i.e. the last chapter of the main narrative arc! How stupid do you have to be!? C'mon! This is ridiculous. It's not a fucking "epilogue" if we're still in the middle of the goddamn trial, no closure, no resolution, just in the middle of a conversation between the Inquisitor and the judge and then SUDDENLY EPILOGUE! No! That's not how this works! It would be an epilogue if, say, you wanted to end the main narrative on just such an abrupt note and then you fast forwarded us back to the protagonists' return to London or some such. It would be an epilogue if, say, we were fast forwarded weeks, months, or even years into the future and got to see how things had played out for people. But you can't very well call it an "epilogue" when it takes place literal seconds after where the previous chapter ended, in the exact same courthouse, from the exact same POV, and is by all accounts just the immediate continuation of the previous chapter! That's not an "epilogue"! That's another chapter! I think the issue probably came about from the localization process. Some idiot on the translation team took 最終編 or similar -- "The Final Chapter" -- and mistranslated it as "Epilogue," not because he couldn't read the Japanese but because he doesn't fucking understand that for a chapter to be considered an epilogue we requirement more of it than it simply being the last chapter in the book! Alright ... so ... Spoiler: show I think I'm pretty darn close to the end now. Probably only another hour or so to go.

One question I'd love answered about this game - how good is this game for someone who really loves the Ace Attorney series, and does not even know who Professor Layton is? I was considering going from AA4 straight to AA5 (which is also cheaper than PL vs PW :P) but I saw that Talon took a detour, and I'd like to know a few things before I make the purchase. :P

* I missed one puzzle during Story Mode, and unlike past games in the Layton franchise it looks like this one doesn't give you the chance to complete the puzzle from the start screen after you beat the game, so if you want 100% credit then you have to do it before beating the story. orz

Sorry for necroing an old thread but I've just started Layton vs Wright today and holy fluxx the cutscene at the start of the first witches trial was dark af. Like it was on some DR shit
Needed to get that off my chest. Game's feeling cool so far, maybe without savestates helping me I might actually git gud at trials before I play AA5

I posted about this in the AA5 thread, but I'll go ahead and repeat it here for posterity's sake -- about a month ago, I replayed the final portion of Vs. in order to get a 100% completion on the puzzles. (There were two I had missed, neither of which Lostelle has for you.) I could've used a walkthrough and just mashed buttons to breeze through it, but I actually sat down and re-played through the final n chapters again. As AA games go, it has a novel concept (discussed below in spoiler box) that is really cool to explore at least once but which I wouldn't want to have around forever and ever. So Versus was really the ideal place for it, a chance for us to explore it once and then put it away. As Layton games go, it has some fun puzzles and the story is incredibly Layton-esque.
