    Ok, Debastian you decided to go with everything, and I love it!
    The "relationship" between Debeste and Grossberg seems to me to be a very good representation of the AA world, with prosecutors always having the advantage, either by resources or by the same judicial system that is in favor of these.
    While defense attorneys are seen as nothing more than nuisances, irrelevant, and cowards.
    Marvin is an interesting character to me. The most frequent question I ask myself is why did Marvin decide to hire Mía under his tutelage?
    To keep an eye on her? Guilt? Or simply because he saw the potential in Mia.
    Maybe we will never know, but at least we will see what your interpretation of this question is.
    Still, another great video!

    I typically don’t comment, but for only the first part, I can say that this was a wild ride, (in a very good way) and you’ve already got me hooked. First off, I really like the interaction at the start with Mia and Morgan. You totally put lots of effort into those sprites and the writing and it definitely shows Morgan’s bad intentions regarding the title of master, even back then! I also love the dynamics between characters that haven’t interacted much on screen or simply haven’t at all; (Byrne & Yew, Blaise & Grossberg, and Hammond there too!), it was just great. Mia trying to set things straight and actually learn things is very reasonable, but trying to confront Blaise with stuff like this is practically a death wish 😂, which makes it all the more intriguing when we see how Mia will have to deal with the consequences of this. I do wonder who this final year student is 👀, and I’m totally looking forward to the other parts to this! Great job as always, Debastian!

    The one thing I don't really agree with is Maya's reaction to Mia leaving the village being more upset about it because I feel that counterdicts the anime where when Mia directly tells Maya that she wants her to be the next master Maya takes it with an "I'll make you proud" (Hear the Waves of Turnabout)

      This 's a 10-year-old Maya as she appears in this vid. So she's younger and more immature. My line of thought when writing this script was that her mindset could have changed with the years and that she turned to the "I'll make you proud" mindset later on.

    So far, this is a fantastic start. I like how this also established how Mia met Grossberg as well. It’s interesting to see that Mia’s goals for becoming a defense attorney seem to be at odds with the way Themis Academy educates new attorneys. Blaise is always an absolute treat and it does make sense for him to be in this position considering his then Chief Prosecutor status. Wonder who else we will run into during this series since plenty of characters who are around Mia’s age at this time do make sense to be around at this point.

    Honestly at this point I'd be pretty interested to see your take on a case with Marvin, Calisto, or Ray as the defense. It's kind of a shame we don't really get to see much, if any, of how they defend in the series and the little bits here have got me interested.

    • @debastiansebeste
      @debastiansebeste  Год назад +1

      The problem is that something like this would require a whole playable case to show how they function as attorneys more clearly to the players. I doubt people would be interested in just watching a couple hours of Ray or Grossberg defending a whole case in court without being able to play as them 😅

    *Long comment warning, and spoilers for Dual Destinies in addition to the games already warned in the video*
    I have only one thing to say about those Psyche-Locks.
    _I knew it._
    I told you it had not slid past me that her magatama was glowing back in that post. ❤
    I love how you incorporated so many characters from so many games, while keeping accurate to their personalities. I _absolutely_ did not expect to see Yew.
    It's also jarring (in a way that works) just how much practical power Blaise holds if even full-fledged lawyers can't speak up or talk back to him.
    I wonder if Blaise's sheer influence over the academy is somehow connected to Means holding his own unscrupulous philosophy. Maybe he really just went and took Blaise as a sort of role model.
    Lastly, I like that there's a slight implication with Morgan that her change into a power hungry schemer was gradual rather than sudden; the way the conversation went, and the way Mia's thoughts played out, it sounded like Morgan was conflicted, rather than already being firmly on the side of wanting to seize power for her branch.
    Just another demonstration of your exceptional writing skills. ❤
    PS: Oh yeah, and the detail with Mia appearing in the outro was really nice.

    • @debastiansebeste
      @debastiansebeste  Год назад +1

      Always love reading extensive comments :D
      Well, since Mia had already used her Magatama on Dahlia, I thought "what would stop her from having it on all the time?" Warning: expect to see it used even more in the next parts ;)
      Yew sort of came with Byrne, I just couldn't not include them as a set xD
      As for Morgan, I was quite torn on whether to make it ambiguous or clear what she thinks, because she has already kicked Dahlia and Iris out in the past for not accomplishing her dreams (so she pretty much always was power hungry and bitter for losing the title), but then again I decided to mix it with "yes but she had calmed down until Pearl was born and her hopes were renewed". Let's see if this works 😅
      Glad you enjoyed watching mate 💪

    • @debastiansebeste

      There's a huge confusion about Hammond. Canon lore says that after DL6 he left the Grossberg offices and never came back (but he still was an attorney, he never lost his badge)
      Canon lore ALSO states that he and Mia worked together under Grossberg and Mia hated Hammond's ethics.
      Now you might ask. Since Mia joined Grossberg well when she was an adult, years after DL6, how did she find Hammond there if he had left long ago?

    Hey Debastian Sebeste, since you made the video of what would happen if Zak Gramarye got Kristoph Gavin disbarred and showed the aftermath with Kristoph Gavin planning to kill Zak Gramarye for revenge. I think I would like to see what would happen if Barok objected to Genshin’s ring as evidence of him being Klint’s killer and the notorious professor because the sharp rings would have torn Klint’s throat to shreds yet there was no tissue damage detected in the autopsy report.
    I imagine that Mael Stronghart would probably try to have Barok killed for defying him, just like how Kristoph probably wants to kill Zak Gramarye, but I don’t know if Stronghart would have it be where he has Barok killed and tries to pin it on Genshin or he has Genshin killed and Barok is arrested for the murder of Genshin. That would be up to you to decide how he tries to go through with it if you make the video.

      Yeah, because I didn't really like that cc 😬 (plus Maya was ten at the time, no need to show her as a 5-year old like Pearl)
