Message: [QUOTE="Deleted member 11897, post: 18800, member: 11897"] The Ace Attorney series has been consistently in my mind since my teenage years, and the connection I have to it has helped me gain perspective on things that went on in my life. Most recently, I've been struggling to keep my spirits up as I make little progress in my life. My job is kinda fun, but I don't make enough to be living super well soon, I get stuck in my work when something gives me trouble as I overthink all possible solutions, I've become a slower learner in general, and I've been having problems maintaining my interpersonal relationships due to many concerns that I will not be talking about here. For many reasons, I've never felt adequate for anything in my life, and I've never felt like I was good enough for those around me. I still don't, really, but I have been getting better at living through it. Slowly, but surely, I'm becoming less shy around others and more attentive to social situations, and I was hit with a brick by Ace Attorney Investigations 2 after the Investigations Collection came out in September. I got to play through it last month, and Sebastian/Eustace is a character I needed to be reminded of. He's a pathetic loser, constantly on the verge of tears when things confuse him or don't go his way, and he's being helped by others out of pity. People around him consider him a nuisance constantly, as he can't find a good foot into his work without the extra, and reluctant, help. To not go spoiling it too much, Eustace goes through the worst day of his life during one of the final chapters, and ends up completely lost. However, despite all the pain he's caused for him, Miles decides to help him pick up through a dialogue/gameplay sequence that's impressively representative of someone going through a tough mental episode like I used to often. The way Eustace picks himself up, still in tears and running away for a while after this, but still doing his best to find out how he can actually give back the help he's received and take initiative is a thing I needed to see again. I can learn from him and his failures just like he did, and come into my own over time. I am really underselling how well this is portrayed, and I know it sounds cliche, but it's a very real struggle that I'm sure many people have and just getting the right message at the right time can help point you forwards, I've gone through instances like this many times as I played and played through the Ace Attorney series time and time again, and so it's almost like a friend that's there for me to reflect with sometimes.
