This case recently entered that absolute highest upper echelon of cases with 2-4, 3-5, and G2-5 for me. It is the birth of everything that truly made me obsessed with Ace Attorney in the first place.
Issues like the sometimes odd pacing, slightly annoying investigations, whatever, don't matter at all to me because they're so hugely overshadowed by how incredibly strong the core story about Phoenix, Larry, and Edgeworth is.
I don't need or want the plot to be super intricate or heady with all these connecting elements, all that matters is the strength of the emotion, and this case lands emotion harder than even 3-5. This game did an "overarching plot" better than any AA game after it for that reason. All the elements in the story that are established earlier and paid off in this case are emotional, not just plot based. Every emotional beat in this case just lands so fucking hard and leaves you in tears by the end.
Manfred is also ridiculously underrated as an easy top 3 villain. You don't need a tragic backstory to be a compelling villain. Manfred really is just perfect.

Despite me first playing this on a slow emulator, I loved it, the suprised of Edgeworth in the intro, DL-6, the class trial, the parrot, and Yanni Yogi. And it lets me present my badge two times!!! I have the DL-6 theme as my alarm. Manfred was perfect, it was the first time in the game I felt fear, I never had lost once, which I continued that streak after beating 1-4 first try, but the man not only wouldn’t let me speak, but it had the ballistic markings that got me, I litterally said, “WHAT IS THAT?!”

I personally think of this case as similar to what Von Karma is like. At first, it feels impossible. Everything is against you, the investigations are extremely difficult, the judge immeadiately supports Von Karma, every possible argument you could have is overruled by Von Karma, just like Von Karma seems impossible to fight against. He can just say "no lol" to your arguments and make things up on the go, and he has complete control over the Judge, and the law by extension. But once you start breaking him down on random things (mostly Larry), he goes down rather quickly, and the only thing that can even save him is calling for a recess, because he can't keep making things up in the proceedings, and the case starts progressing faster as you poke into more holes. By day three, even if Karma thinks he's far above Phoenix, they're just about even, and then Karma loses his final advantage - his control of the Judge. At that point, the fight is even. Karma has to argue with Phoenix, something he likely hasn't done in years. And he can see he's screwed. So he goes ahead and makes plans to get Edgeworth arrested anyway, for DL-6, because it was brought up (or possibly he made those plans earlier Idk). But it's Phoenix's spirit, YOUR spirit that allows Phoenix to take down Von Karma. Because now Phoenix and you have to go all in. There's no other choice - three extremely difficult trial days, and now it all goes to waste? No way. And so the final battle begins. Phoenix VS Von Karma. But in comparison to the first trial, Von Karma doesn't hold all the cards anymore. Phoenix has one. He has the Ace. The Ace that fully dismantles Von Karma. The DL-6 bullet. And Karma finally breaks down. Karma, who was seen as impossible, a God of Prosecution, has been taken down to just being man, and the satisfaction of taking him down is even greater than finishing the case you once thought impossible.
Wow that's some crazy yapping I just did

Turnabout Goodbyes has a lot of great things about it, but I feel the problem is that it is apparent it is the first final case they’ve done. The case is rather simple in its narrative/thematic complexity. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but in comparison to future cases and the layers they go, it leaves this case being rather surface level in many areas. It doesn’t mean that it doesn’t add additional layers, especially in regards to Edgeworth and Maya, but imo other cases do even better in demonstrating and advancing their stories.
And there are moments where the story does slack and has its stupid moments. And Manfred, as entertaining he is, he is kind of lackluster besides his perfectionist gimmick and I do prefer other antagonists with more depth than him.
And I do think the witnesses and the characters they chose besides Yogi can get irritating. They do lead to some good moments, but they could’ve been more than the sum of their parts.
But once again still an amazing case that brings the best out of its main cast. Besides done narrative hiccups/clunkiness, it is a phenomenal case to end the first game.
