Inverse plot armor.

@@normanclatcher technically still has plot armor since we keep reviving her

the game is just a powerful ghost cursing people and you uncursing them

I mean to be fair, there is an entire government conspiracy gunning for her.

I feel like Shu Takumi always has one character like that. Like for ace attorney it's Maya whos framed for murder every game she's in.

Wait which specific ones? The only one I remember is him being illiterate. Istg someone better make a compilation when the remaster comes out

​@EldritchCupcakes Here's a few: -Not only Sissel's inability to read, but his lack of knowing what other things are, like science and darkness. -Lynne says she likes small, cramped spaces, and Sissel agrees. -When talking about Cabanela's perfectionism relating to his white coat, Sissel says he'd prefer a black coat, which he already has as a black cat. -Sissel's puzzles frequently involving knocking things over and torturing rats, which he seems to enjoy. When he first goes over to the minister's wife's apartment, he says he relates to her wanting to hunt down the rat. Not obvious until the very end, but special shoutouts to: -Sissel directly saves nine individual lives throughout the game: Lynne, Missile, the detective at the park, Jowd, the minister, Temsik's guardian, Cabanela, Pigeon Man, and Yomiel. Cats are said to have nine lives. -After being struck by the Temsik meteorite, he is both dead and alive, like Schrodinger's cat. Apologies if you didn't want such a longass reply but I'm obsessed with all the foreshadowing you'd never understand without knowing already.

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@youropinioniswrong8021 I guess you could say Siddle gave their 9 lives to others

@@youropinioniswrong8021 That's quite something. Never really realized this...

​​@@youropinioniswrong8021lso i know this isn't what the writers intended, but i immediately (jokingly) beat myself up for not predicting the plot twist when i found out that missile was shu takumi's pet, because sissel is also yomiels pet and sissel sounds exactly like missile but with an s lmao

also said best friends both have goddamn LUDICROUS hairstyles

"You switched the damage type from piercing to bludgeoning, but didn't change the damage value" moment

I know. I couldn't help but smile at that moment. Yeah I know I shouldn't, but you tell me his ragdoll behavior doesn't make you smile at it's absurdity

I did that on my first attempted because I triggered the hat to early so that wa flat on the floor lmao

I wish you luck in your play through!! I’m so glad more people are checking it out

You're not going to regret it.

I did the same. I enjoyed it from start to finish.

Damn, I hope you didn’t get spoiled on anything from this video cause man this game demands to be played spoiler free

@@brycecartwright2403personally the puzzles are worth it even if you know the story.

The metabolism on that woman must be crazy.

@@normanclatcher forget the metabolism imagine the chewing speed/ mouth capacity. The girls not even chewing at this point its all just getting melted by acid spit or smth XD

@@hakaidemati4417 digestion begins in the mouth, or so I've heard.

@@hakaidemati4417 She's like Kirby She practically inhales the food and it just disappears

And then she looks over and sees Lynn talking to the cat

It is crazy what the Ace Attorney devs can get into when they get tired of making Ace Attorney games, lol

Eeeeeeeeeeeh as someone who loves Ace Attorney, yes he does xD. Shu Takumi has great ideas but often struggles with execution. He has the potential to get lost in the minutiae of the stories he wants to tell.

@@MrLegendofLPonly games I’ve played by him where that happens in aa are Apollo Justice and maybe jfa but I’m willing to chalk up the latter to that games rushed development. Totally agree on your statement when it comes to apollo Justice though, no clue what happened there but it just felt like there were a lot of small experimental writing changes that did not come together well

@@brycecartwright2403 I may be making this up completely, but I seem to recall hearing somewhere that Apollo Justice was never supposed to feature Phoenix Wright at all, but Capcom was afraid that not having Phoenix in any capacity would make it sell poorly and forced Shu to include him, which is what cause Apollo's debut and solo game to barely be about Apollo at all, and require the kind of sloppy soft-retconning of Apollo's backstory in Dual Destinies and I believe Spirit of Justice from what little I know of the game, though I haven't played that yet. Waiting for the Switch re-release at this point. Poor Apollo, he's never really gotten the chance to be his own character from what I've experienced.

@@MrLegendofLP that sounds about right from what I remember as well. Apollo is actually a pretty good character in dual destinies and spirit of Justice because he gets to be more of his own character compared to his debut game, but as a consequence he’s kinda inconsistently written

That also explains why Lynn dies 4 times during the game.

​@@brianhull2407*5

5 times, actually. She was in order: - shot by Jeego - shot by Tengo - shot by Rudeberg Machine - crushed under giant tasty chicken - and drowned in submarine

@-ak-634 it could be argued that we went back in time and prevented yomiels death before the sub fully sank, meaning that lynne may have not died on the sub. tldr: we might of left and changed her fate before she had a chance to drown

​@@genericname2747 better plot than most movies nowadays

@@enderdrane Ghost Trick Movie when? (I don't actually want this, it'd probably be bad)

@@genericname2747 probably never (though I'd have to agree, this is for the best)

​@@enderdrane omg true

yes

I agree

I have always wanted to play it but never had the hardware. It just has a batshit crazy set of powers that sound uncommonly fun to use. It all sounds weird but it also sounds like stuff you have thought of.

This is crazy, I just watched a clip from Star Trek: DS9 use your name in a conversation earlier today.

can i still play it? cause the demo on switch is just chapter 1 & 2 from final game

not gonna lie i dont really understand what you said there can you please elaborate cause im interested in hoe the story loops and i didnt notice anything like that in the demo

@@user-bb2op9he1x Yes, but you will need a computer as it runs using Adobe Flash? I'll see if I can send a link

It's a very good game, but IMO it's most definitely NOT all-time great material. It's not even the best narrative puzzle game on the DS. 🤷 999 (9 Hours 9 People 9 Doors) kicks the freaking crap out of this game. Ghost Trick's art design is legitimately fantastic though, I'll definitely give you that.

Him just wanting the blue folks to give him a normal life *broke* me

​​@@dweebicusmaximusSAME- like- gahhhh!! Boi just wanted his life back! He just wanted to **live** and the blue guys were entirely using him. I cried, closed the game, picked it up the next day* to start playing again having forgotten where I left off and proceeded to start crying *again* XD

It makes me happy he got to live happily ever after with his fiancé… after ten years in prison lol

It’s such a heartwarming ending.

Hot as ice.

Isn’t that the same guy who made the Phoenix Wright? So that’s why the writing style seems familiar and why the name Missile for a dog sounded familiar

One of AA's biggest problems to me would be pacing and overlooking character depth to a point. Every case is a murder case but save for some cases like Justice For All's last case, there's not much tension. The pacing in Ghost Trick is perfect where you don't feel like the story's rushing past and every character on screen has a part to play in the story but there's still the pressing urge to move bc the whole thing is happening in one night with a perceived time limit. I honestly didn't think Shu could pull a game like Ghost Trick off but he had

I have more of an emotional attachment to trials and tribulations personally, but considering ghost trick had nowhere near as much buildup as that game AND wasn’t as long as any of the ace attorney games, I think it’s well worth arguing how impressively efficient ghost trick is as tying all of this shit together. Again, I might have more of an emotional attachment to Ace Attorney personally, but god damn ghost trick is an absolute fucking MASTERPIECE

as a massive ace attorney fan, i absolutely agree

Some might say... The Best.

@@JamesTDG Best boy ☺

We always acknowledge missile’s good boyness, but what about sissile?

@@eldritchcupcakes3195Sissel is the best immortal kitten.

I certainly didn’t expect Sissel to be a cat.

It's a Safety Dance

His dancing is really funny, especially when it speeds up.

...KZfaq ate my follow up comment in progress! D': So without time stamps: The "rule" for Lynne's first death that results in Sissel having to climb up from where the body was when he entered it is broken twice (and upheld once for the "failed" execution). The first is the driver's body bringing Sissel to the park, which can be explained by a technicality that the body was still on the van when he appeared in the past, even if it wasn't at the same coordinates on the planet. The second is for the last death. There is zero way you can claim the body is anywhere near where Sissels ends up. Easy fix? They would have had Sissel appear up top where Lynne's body fell when shot, and you'd have Sissel where Jowd's body was post-explosion. (That puzzel would remain the same, as without the guards and the dripping water, he's still have to use the phones to get to the cells to start off.) The first time I played this game, I _hated_ the ending, but loved the characters so much I returned to play again despite that. Now, after several replays, I love it. There is SO MUCH foreshadowing of the main reveal at the ending. I was surprised you didn't mention the form Lynne took when her soul first woke up, as that's one of them. Another that I don't hear many people state is just how _curious_ a fellow Sissel is. ;) His utter lack of knowledge about many basic things, insistence on messing with rats, and shared love of the spot between wall and bed are others. The main thing I adore from this game, though, is how it keeps hitting you on the head with "Don't judge people! You don't know all the facts!" You took some creative licence in relation to when certain facts are learned, but also left loads of the game unrevealed for people to discover. I approve. As for the HD remake, I am waiting on reviews of it. I originally got the game on my iPod, and now have it on DS (since I don't own Apple products any more). Unfortunately, To The Moon had a Switch release and they switched some of the jokes and dialogue from the original game to make it more "acceptable" and there is a lot of humour in this game that some people doing LPs call out as "questionable". If they don't change anything in the story and dialogue, and there's not a full game price on it ($40 max, and that's pushing it), then I'd gladly get it for a third time. And now I'm off to watch Ghost Trick and To The Moon LPs en Français, because (holy crud!) that is a thing! And I am, oh so very technically, French. :p EDIT: *sighs* It wasn't a blind LP, so that steals the joy of seeing people's reactions to the absurdity. That's okay, though, there are a LOT of LPs left to view!

Not a series, sadly. Just a standalone.

It's from the same creator as ace attorney btw! In fact it was the next game he made after the original series was completed All the games made from Shu takumi are awesome
