Gyakuten Kenji 2

Gyakuten Kenji 2 is the much anticipated sequel to Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth. In this game, there is an anti-corruption campaign involving Miles which leads to him uncovering the mystery behind the case investigated by his father and his assistant, which cost Manfred Von Karma his first warning ever. It comes complete with a new Mental Chess mechanism, and better crafted cases overall.

So, naturally, Capcom USA decided "There are no plans to bring Ace Attorney Investigations 2 outside Japan at the moment", leaving a joint fan-translation effort to step in.

Placeholder Graphics
These are placeholder graphics for character mugshots, with the kanji for "temporary" present in the background.



This is obviously a leftover from the first case from the first Edgeworth game: background graphics used for testimony segments set... in Edgeworth's office, at night. None of the cases from the second game use this setting.



Unused Text
(Note: The lines below are taken from the Japanese version, since there is no English version available. That said, for consistency with previous games, the English names will be used whenever available.)

Unused Logic Text
This text is stored with the "Logic Success" dialogues for Case 1, without corresponding Logic matches. It is contained in the script files 0339_002F91BE.bin and 0345_002FEC8E.bin.

It is an early unused script for the first Logic connection Edgeworth would make. However, in the final game, the used first Logic connection is extremely vital to the case, and the rain has no relevance to the investigation, unlike in this unused text. This change was probably to make the case more streamlined.

These are texts for two unused Logic bubbles, which refers to the security monitors you see in the President's plane. It seems they would be matched to get the conclusion that one of the monitors is missing/broken. It doesn't have a matching "Logic Success" text. In the final game, Edgeworth deduces this by himself in the main script in about two lines.

Unused NPC Script
Winston Payne makes a brief cameo during the first case's second investigation phase. However, there are a bunch of lines which are not used in-game and hint to his possibly playing a bigger role.

Anti-Piracy
If the game detects you are playing a pirated copy, all dialogue text will use the "Borginian" illegible font from Apollo Justice and the Organizer description box texts on the Touch Screen are replaced with "XXXXXXXXX".
