You started playing The Great Ace Attorney and I missed it! I know my lack of comment must have saddened you greatly, so I'm here to rectify my heinous error.
Re: language — my take on it was that the unreadable calligraphy was Brett speaking English until she switched to Japanese, and we were initially supposed to assume that Kazuma and Ryunosuke couldn't understand; they seem to wilfully pretend as much in order to play on Brett's prejudices. After the trial, they have an exchange that makes it clear they speak and understand English at a very comfortable level, although the exact wording escapes me now.
By Word of God, Susato and Ryunosuke only speak Japanese when they're alone. Honourifics are the game's way of showing us that. Me, I didn't even notice until I was reading an interview with Janet Hsu on the matter, because honourifics just tend to glance off me like water these days.
Both Tem and I shipped Ryunosuke and Kazuma very hard and were extremely unhappy when Kazuma was killed in the second case.
God, right? Ryunosuke's dreamy boyfriend whom he was supposed to kiss! It wasn't supposed to be this way.
I love this crazy game so much that I've been in fic-writing hell for it since, uh, checks watch— last November. And now that you're playing it, I can't wait to leave you a series of increasingly wordy comments on everything I could ever possibly find fault with. :D
