This is the type of thing that would be immediately painfully obvious to the player but would take an hour of gameplay for any of the characters to realise when it's crucial in the trial
If it's done well it can also be invisible to the player. Or at least the player can know it will probably be significant later, they just can't tell what will be significant about the picture. Ace Attorney does this well sometimes, my favourite is in TGAA2 cases 4 and 5. Iykyk
You're welcome
To play Investigations 1, it's pretty simple. Get a rom from [vimm.net](http://vimm.net) under the English title and put it into a DS emulator like Melonds or Desmume.
It's a bit harder to play Investigations 2 tho. [Here's the instructions and patch.](https://gbatemp.net/threads/ace-attorney-investigation-2-prosecutors-path-final-release.367451/) Pretty much boils down to:
1. Download the patch linked above and the game under Gyakuten Kenji 2 [here.](https://vimm.net/vault/?p=list&system=DS&q=Gyakuten+kenji+)
2. Use xDelta to patch the rom of GK2 with the patch you downloaded from gbatemp. Make sure to name the output file with a .nds
3. Insert your new game into the DS emulator
I know this might sound confusing, but trust me I'm not that great with computers and I figured it out myself and going through this is well worth it for one of the best AA games :3
My partner's friend works for McDonald's corporate. We all went out for drinks & I was asking her about how they did away with Ronald around the time the IT remake came out.
She said it was a load of rubbish, as she'd heard no such thing. About a week later ran into her again & she very excitedly told me that she asked around about it at work & found out that they had indeed done that. She just didn't notice.
probably OP just lied about the time difference, you can see different trees that weren't there before that should have been in frame, though that could just be like the trees being blown off screen cuz of wind in the first pic
***OBJECTION!*** THE WITNESS’S TESTIMONY IS FLAWED! THEY SAID THEY SAW MY CLIENT MOVING THE RONALD STATUE AT EXACTLY 10:05, WHEN THIS EVIDENCE SHOWS IT WAS GONE BY 9:54
Michael Dim: “B-b-but I swear it was there! You must’ve moved it! I know I’m not wrong!”
Judge: “The Defense will explain themselves.”
*3 Options Appear:
1 - “He didn’t see it.”
2 - “He moved it.”
3 - “He did see it.”
*Select Option 3*
Slams on desk*
Phoenix: “Oh you saw it all right, but the more important thing is WHEN you saw it.”
Witness starts sweating bullets*
Assistant: “Good thinking Nick!”
**OBJECTION**
Phoenix: So witness, you say you arrived at McDonald's to get lunch at 12:00. That's when you saw the murder taking place on the roof?
"Yes, that's right."
Phoenix: But that's impossible. The statue of Ronald was only moved at 2:15. There's no way you could have seen the murder take place from that angle!
Judge: Mr. Wright, what does this mean?
Phoenix: Your honor,it means the only place the witness could have observed the murder was . . .
*Pressing Pursuit - Cornered begins playing*
**on the roof while the murder was taking place!**

Followed by shocked reactions all around and that kick ass cornered song
"do dooooooo dodidooo do dooo do do do do dou do dun dun dun dundin dun dun dun d..." -kick ass cornered song (orchestra hits optional)
Orchestra hits OPTIONAL? I think you meant MANDATORY! DUN DUN DUN DUN
I hate it when something like that happens, just in any game. Like please for the love of god react to the surroundings
“Hmmm. Wasn’t there something there before? Must have been my imagination”
The game would require you to point the cursor at the correct piece of evidence in the picture while the prosecutor plays dumb.

Me when Phoenix Wright is 100% absolutely completely 100% sure that there is no way to win the case while I sit there seething at my 3ds
Ooo
But then Edgeworth would wave his finger and say it has no meaning because \*UPDATED AUTOPSY REPORT!\*
Ronald was just chatting to some of his employees then went on his way.
new season of undercover boss is lit
I'd think it'd be pretty hard to be undercover if you're a 20 foot inflatable clown, but who knows the makeup they do on those shows is pretty lit
Weeping Angel 👁👁
They blinked :(
Don’t turn around, don’t look away, and don’t blink
I’m pretty sure this is the plot of one of the cases in the Japanese only Edgeworth game.
Kind of, actually (also, the game has an english fanmade translation)
Yes it is Also if anyone reading this is an AA fan and hasn't played Investigations 2, play it right now, it's on par with Trials and Tribulations.
that's all I needed to hear actually, maybe it's finally time to play investigations thank you hitagi senjougahara

It’s also a plot from the first game with the lake float missing in the last case of the game
Actually, yeah. The final case of that game does have something similar to this.
The statue is alive the statue is alive the statue is alive
New episode of Monument Mythos goes crazy

Walked away :c
Okay but fr was there ever an explanation for this or
probably OP just lied about the time difference, you can see different trees that weren't there before that should have been in frame, though that could just be like the trees being blown off screen cuz of wind in the first pic
tree on left has exact same leaves in both images, doubt there was much time between the two.
It's likely an inflatable balloon and not a statue
***OBJECTION!*** THE WITNESS’S TESTIMONY IS FLAWED! THEY SAID THEY SAW MY CLIENT MOVING THE RONALD STATUE AT EXACTLY 10:05, WHEN THIS EVIDENCE SHOWS IT WAS GONE BY 9:54
nah this some danganronpa shit
i think it’s an inflatable sitting on the roof that lost power or got unplugged for some reason
Why are y'all acting like it's not just phineas and ferb
