Ace Attorney characters that I think are related

In addition to my “ Godot is Manfred’s other child” agenda.

Richard Wellington and Frank Sawhit:

My favorite pack of thieves. I like to think Frank was stealing in order to earn enough for him and his son to survive. And then Richard was trying to get enough money to bail his father out of prison but once learning who the defense attorney would be for Maggey decided to try to avenge his father. I want them to have a tearful reunion in prison and then escape together to rob more rich people <3.

Furio Tigre and Wocky Kitaki:

Have you seen the last names?!! In all seriousness I think them being related would make the overall crime scene more fleshed out and make its story more cohesive. The Cadaverni rage wouldn’t be over a member getting in an accident with just some thug, but a member of a mob, a rival to power in “Los Angeles”. Though I don’t think Tigre would be considered a legitimate member of the family by the Kitaki line themselves, I think Wocky would look up to Furio as an older brother figure and base his persona around him. Wocky’s aggression to Phoenix is less funny now though.

Polly Jenkins and Goldy Gerwitz:

Imagine the only person who ever cared for you took their own life and you lost everything and now all you have left to turn to is material items. But then coincidentally you come across those who indirectly lead to her suicide but you are too scared do anything and you regret for the rest of your life for your inaction. Just fun with the bois over here.

Herman Crab and Larry:

A STEM and artist duo returns, this time as brothers! It’s the most romance repulsed aromantic against the world’s strongest romanticist ( but Larry is also aro spec, I can feel it in bones). Neither of them can ever have a normal last name and Larry only took his mother’s in order to avoid people making jokes about him having crabs (* cries in the pain of bad nicknames*). In all seriousness , both Larry and Herman are incredibly talented, noble people who will ride and die for those they care about. While Herman would be annoyed by his much younger brother’s antics, he’d still genuinely care for and look out for him. And Larry naturally would be down to help his older brother with any of his schemes.

Simon Blackquill and Daryan:

My favorite black and white animal themed mysterious, dramatic men. I think them being related would tie the Apollo Justice series' events and characters more closely together and give much needed characterization to Daryan ( yet one of many aspects of wasted potential in the Apollo Justice series). Daryan becoming a detective because he doesn't believe Simon could do such heinous acts in a mirror to Klavier and Athena, him trying to gain whatever influence and power and wealth he can which could potentially aid his family. Daryan agreeing to smuggle the cocoons both because he genuinely wants to save people like Simon did, laws be damned, but because being in the good graces of such a high ranking official, in addition to the large sums of money he'd gain in return, could be what saves his relative. The reveal of this plan would hold so much more immediate consequences and affect a wider reach of characters. And Simon, trying so hard to help and protect all those he cares about all on his own, with Daryan being a reminder how damaging that mentality can be and that no matter how hard the both of them try they can't save everyone!!!!

Also yes, Daryan keeps the hair for Simon's sake, who styled it that way as a prank.

Tyrell Badd and Luke Atmey:

Luke wanting nothing else than to be just like his cool, smart, popular father but feeling like he can't properly emulate him on his own, so he lies and cheats to attempt to do so in turn becoming everything his father is against and hates.

Also Luke feeling like his father prefers Kay over him BYE-

Payne and Geiru:

Imagine following in your ancestors' footsteps to join the law system in order to bring ‘pain’ upon evil doers but one of your family members decides to fuck that and runs off to become a rakugo artist of all things. And then you find out years later that they had a child who committed murder in their name and you didn't even get to come across her in court. Poor Payne can't ever catch a break.

Ron and Joe Darke:

The worst father and son duo who commit crimes and escalate situations because they have terrible problem solving skills yet despite that cannot be convicted for the life of them, the former only happening with false evidence. But the main reason I like this idea is because it means Ron took his wife's last name "DeLite" since she is the light of his life and now he isn't in the 'dark' anymore.

Boo all you want.

Jinxie Tenma and Uendo Toneido:

Two of the best ( and underrated) Ace Attorney characters in addition to being great mental health representation! I think they'd have great chemistry and interactions as siblings. Also Uendo deserves a wrestler father who can beat shit out of ableist fucks and law enforcement. <3

Gumshoe and Dogen:

Such a slut for the idea of Gumshoe wanting to tear himself away from the family name and to do good by saving lives instead of ending them yet working in an incredibly deadly, corrupt system that goes against his ideals and desires.

Also Dick's still definitely hurt that Dogen seems to care more about Simon Keyes than him >:)

Constance Courte and Sebastian:

" Uh, if Constance Courte was Sebastian's mom, wouldn't Blaise had make her disappear-"

Bitch, he tried. That loser husband had to back down.

Unfortunately, Constance wasn't able to take her son with her and decided to throw herself even more into her teaching of law, her indirect way of fighting her husband and preventing people from becoming like him. I like to think she got to reunite with her son again after Blaise was finally arrested and Sebastian continued his prosecuting career in her honor.

Anyway Constance Courte is cool and deserved more screentime ( and to be written into a better case lmao).

Cody Hackins and the Fey clan:

I just want more perspective on the Fey family from those AMAB, I can't believe the main AA trilogy went into Kurain Village and the Fey Clan and didn't expand on this. Anyway, Cody's lack of spiritual power, supposedly due to his sex, in addition to losing his mother led to him and his father being discarded from the main clan and looked down upon. Refusing to accept the position of a branch family given to him, Cody's father took the two of them away from the village. While initially having trouble adjusting to such a drastic change in lifestyle and environment, the two of them were overall happier. Cody still faintly remembers Mia and Maya as some of the few people in the village that were kind to him and is unable to accept Mia's death, believing she and Maya "fused powers" and simply cohabit a body now. On a happier note, Steel Samurai is both Cody and his father's comfort show and they and the Fey Sisters ( and eventually Pearl) watch it together.

The Von Karma and the Justice family:

Okay, with names like those, centered around concepts considered essential to the judicial system, they have be to be connected somehow in this series. Whether they're distantly related or rival families or what, both family lines and their influences absolutely permeate the series.

Also 100% the reason Kristoph took Apollo in as his mentee was to spite the Von Karmas.

Lauren Paups and Matt Engarde:

Polar opposite (half) siblings: Lauren is shy while Matt is outgoing, Lauren has low self esteem while Matt thinks highly of himself, Lauren’s a dreamer and romanticist while Matt’s cruelly aware of how the world works, Lauren’s wishy washy and easily swayed while Matt’s is rooted in his ideas and beliefs, Lauren can’t hide feelings or thoughts while Matt constantly wears a mask, yet their most prominent trait, the one that they share, is that they’ll do anything for who or what they believe in. Also they both share self destructive tendencies when seemingly stressed (Matt scratching and Lauren cutting up pieces of their hair) in addition to being heavily dramatic. Unfortunately, I don’t think they ever got the chance to properly know each other but nonetheless the duo would be close ( as much as they’re allowed to be anyway).

Also this beta design for Lauren is Matt Pre- T and you can’t convince me otherwise.

Give me your relationship hcs, I love to hear the brainworms from other people and have them play with my maggots <3

Alright sit down I'm ranking Dual Destinies culprits. Spoilers abound!

Just going to list my thoughts on all 5 culprits in order of beloved to beloathed. Expect me to be mean.

Marlon Rimes

Easily the most nuanced and sympathetic of them all, and a well-written one to boot! His grudge against the orca is understandable, yet flawed in a very human way. He had no intentions of harming anyone - in fact he wanted to save his co-workers from what he saw as a dangerous animal. When Sasha was arrested he went out of his way to lie in order to get her off the hook. When push came to shove, he accepted his sentence to save her and punish himself for unintentionally setting up the Captain's death. It's all the more heartbreaking that Azura wasn't even killed by the previous orca, rendering all of his hatred and actions resulting from it irrational and unfounded. He sort of reminds me of both Simon and Aura in a few ways; taking the fall to save a friend, trying to enact revenge on someone he saw as a crazed, emotionless animal... his plight has plenty in common with both. 5-DLC gets a lot of praise in my books for its parallels to the main conflict (not that the other cases lack them) and Marlon is no exception.

The thing that makes Marlon so compelling is that he isn't a monster. He doesn't even have much of an ego, calling himself too weak to save anyone. He's a man who acted on his rage and made a dreadful mistake in doing so, trying to right his wrongs and eventually being forced to give up and admit that he had no right to do what he had done. Even agreeing that he had no right pruely on the basis of it causing someone to die inderectly. Him being rehabilitated at the end is the feather-on-the-cap to show that he's someone the characters genuinely care about and wish to do better in spite of his flaws. It took a while and plenty of evidence, but the Captain's words finally got through to him and he's a lot better for it. His animations are wonderfully creative, by the way! Turning the spyglass into a faux microphone, re-using the bucket of fish for a Popeye-esque transformation, the name-tag turning into a rapper's gold chain, his breakdown turning the witness stand into both a helm and a set of prison bars - so much visual creativity with this guy! It's such a treat.

The worst I can say about him is that the rapping is a bit of a stereotype. Yes, this is the same game that body-shames the one fat character, has no idea what a trans person is, and... well we'll save that part for later. No one enjoys that. That said, I'm willing to say the good far outways the bad here. It lead to one of the funniest witness testimonies in the series so I can't be too mad!

2. Ted Tonate

What a peculiar character... semi-verbal, anti-social, obsessed with explosives, and overall a strange specimen to behold. It doesn't feel like he has a specific quirk more than it feels like everything about him is off-beat, ranging from uncomfortably still to absolutely feral. I like it!

More importantly - while he did commit murder and assault - he does serve an important role in the plot and is not completely incompetent or heartless. That courtroom would have become a graveyard without his warning, after all! He's a bit like Frank Sawhit where he'll resort to physical violence under pressure but doesn't seem to have intended to kill necessarily. Difference is Frank was a common thief, while Ted's a bona-fide member of the police's bomb disposal unit who - black market deals aside - actually carries his duties out and does a good job. Nice little misdirection there too. That opening monologue fits the phantom better than Ted but we don't figure that until near the end. It doesn't erase the fact he's done some terrible things but at he's not a monster. Just a woefully anti-social guy who doesn't respond well to being called out.

Dual Destinies gets a surprising amount of mileage out of its Case 1 antagonist and it's a treat to watch. There's plenty that case does to give the game a bad first impression, but Ted's not one of them. He can stay!

3. Aristotle Means Aaaaaaaand we've nose-dived. Prepare for snark.

Means is emblematic of a much larger issue with Dual Destinies; it doesn't seem interested in treating the main conflicts of its cases as much more than generic good vs evil despite having an abundance of material to make things more interesting. Yes, I know Ace Attorney culprits aren't the most 3-dimensional bunch - usually the character conflicts they cause are the most interesting parts. Though they usually make things fun by being smarmy bastards. Means is just repeatitive. It's one thing to be a shallow bad guy, it's another thing entirely to beat you over the head with a single catchphrase without putting any spins on it. Manfred has the same one-track mind in his philosophy but he never felt this aggressively tedious about it. There's also the fact that, well... the ends DID justify the means in the end. Dual Destinies' main conflict would not have been solved without Aura taking extreme measures to save Simon. Having that while saying "doing bad things is bad no matter what!" with this guy makes him feel all the more flimsy and misguided. Him wanting to save Juniper and honour her wishes by any means necessary is a nice way to add flavour to the conflict but it's grossly overshadowed by him being a flat cartoon for the most part.

I feel like there's a sorely missed opportunity here for him to point out that Phoenix Wright also exercised that philosophy at times. Yes I'm talking about forging evidence in 4-1, it would have been a nice way to make his conflict with Athena more interesting. Pointing out that her boss is an exemplar of "the ends justifies the means" - especially with Apollo in the same room - is an idea that fills my brain with thinks. Might have even been the reason why he invited Nick to the academy too... oh well. It takes a lot to bouy a one-track villain like him up as it is without actively adding more baggage through redundancy and lack of presence. He doesn't even do much of anything or have a chance to BE evil before his hair stands up like other villains. He's just. Annoying. I know I keep comparing him to Manfred, but imagine a version of him that didn't do anything until the tail-end of the last trial and with none of the backstory and gravitas. That's the level Means is at.

A crappier Manfred. Joy to the world!

4. ???

YOU COULD HAVE BEEN SOMEBODY! YOU HAD SO MUCH POTENTIAL! Hell, he arguably does have dramatic weight as-written. He's the embodiment of the distrust and denial of ones true feelings/identity that has caused this racket in the first place. Dual Destinies as a whole is a game about people who put on masks to do what they feel is right or necessary, then being forced to take the mask off, confront themselves and their actions for what they truly are. Having a villain who's hidden his identity this entire time is such a fitting choice! It's just a shame that he, oh you know, it's small thing it doesn't really matter... DIDN'T HAVE AN IDENTITY WORTH HIDING TO BEGIN WITH!!! Dual Destinies beats you over the head about how scary this guy is for having no personality. And that's exactly the problem. When you spend that much time telling people the villain isn't worth caring about then that's what people are going to take away. Nevermind that his personality for most of the game was a goofy detective man who valued JUSTICE! above all else, a man who is willing to question his own definitions of it despite what others may think but still allows it to justify doing awful things like zapping Simon. Maybe that could have been the answer! That he allowed his perception of JUSTICE! to warp so much that he became this ghoulish ghost who kills and commits acts of terrorism without remorse. His life being threatened when his literal mask falls acting as a metaphor for how he is unable to confront himself for who he is and what he's done; he, in his own eyes, would be the least justified of them all, and so he has forsaken his identity to avoid that truth. A truth that would spell the end both within and without.

But no. The game does everything in its power to tell you he's a hollow, empty husk of a human being. More importantly, even if the above was the case it doesn't do anything at all with the concept. It just comes across that his main conflict is "who tf am I?" Which is... oddly sad and worrying? Yes, I do think the idea of letting your true self go leading to awful, terrible things and the horror of realising that that's exactly what you did - even denying it or using it as a point of strength - is an interesting and befitting idea. They just don't do anything with it before he's already carted off to the pile of characters we'll never hear from again. There's nothing there by design to the point where it doesn't feel like there was anything he COULD have discarded in the first place. His lack of identity feels less like a concept the writers wanted to explore and more of an excuse to get a twist villain who could pretend to be anybody.

It's a diservice to both the story and to the false identity he had before this. "Bobby Fulbright" somehow ended up a more interesting character and he's the one who's chastised by other characters for being a simple idiot! And he was discarded for this guy! "Bobby" should have mattered more, both to the characters and to the phantom's identity. Not get an unceremonial "he was dead the whole time" reveal and be completely divorced from the phantom's character in every way the story can think to do. Erasure in more ways than one... no wonder people felt betrayed. In a bad way. You shouldn't feel betrayed by the writing if it's any good and that's how plenty - myself included - felt. Oh, and having the only character who's low/no emotion be the shallow bad guy is not a great look... I'll say it again; the problem isn't that he's the antagonist. It's that he's not a well-written one. A psychopath would be fascinating as a character in ANY role in this psychology-focused mystery game if Dual Destinies had the gall to make one that's actually interesting. Remember what I said about Means crushing the conflict into something too simple for the concept behind it? The phantom does that on a wider scale and it deals a massive blow to Dual Destinies to have its overarching villain so infuriatingly empty and disposable. It makes themes of trust and masks I mentioned fall flat.

I'd rather Athena kill Metis over this. It'd be a similar concept with more justification behind it without completely dismissing the players emotional investment or cheapening the themes of the game. Or at least execute those things in a better way than this. In justice we trusted...

Sidenote: I was torn between ranking Means or the phantom here. While Phanty is definitely more interesting to talk about than the living staute, him sucking hurts more than Means due to his status as the main villain. It's easier to get away with being a shallow puddle when you weren't meant to swim much in it to begin with.

5. Florent L'belle

You'll notice I didn't put an emotional marker on this guy. That should tell you everything you need to know. At least the phantom makes me feel something, even if it is abject despair at how much of a gaping hole he leaves in the story. Florent just... I mean he's... His breakdown's creepy, that's kinda fun... I got nothing, he's just sort of there.

Lick a toad, you inferior Redd White. I'm going need to borrow Bobby's Jolt of Justice next time you show up.

At least I'd feel something that way.

dont ask me how but i think kristophs breakdown sprite did something to my brain.

kowalski, analysis (it got too long...)

aa breakdown sprites in general are always fun because they give you a deeper look into the culprit’s true nature. you have generic examples like frank sawhit who just gets flustered and it’s revealed that he wears a hairpiece, which indicates that he’s deceptive. you have april may who just flips her shit. you have dahlia who becomes enraged. you also have examples like acro, whose tears show that he has regret for his actions.

you really have to dig deep to get to the breakdown in any aa testimony. you need to say the right things, press the right statements, show the right evidence to take these culprits off their guard. most aa villains are not stupid and will keep their facade maintained perfectly through multiple rounds of lies and perjury until you find the thread that makes it all unravel for them. once they know that they can no longer lie and that the evidence isnt on their side, they run out of places to run - they’re cornered, and with nothing else to cling to, their true nature finally comes out, which is always satisfying to see.

aa villains (and this extends throughout the series, but is particularly well executed in takumi’s games) are almost always written well to the point where their undoing is almost always their own fault and their eternal punishment is not just jail time, but the sentence of having to be miserable, miserable people (as highlighted by mia to dahlia at the end of bridge). when you see a character’s breakdown, you learn the inner demons that they are really living and struggling with, and it makes them a rounder and more interesting character to the player.

kristoph is no exception to this, and it’s through his breakdown that we learn more about him than we have throughout the rest of the game. we learn that he is not the calm, collected man he appeared to be. we learn that his facade, while not easily broken, is ultimately a lie he tells about who he is. we learn that he is, at his core, insecure, cowardly, profoundly paranoid and a deceitful con artist.

overall, i liked kristoph as a character, but when i saw this sprite i kind of realized that i love his character? like it would’ve been very easy to just go the route of typical breakdown and allow him the dignity that gant received of being relatively normal even after being found out, but kristoph is very much not that. the sheer insanity of kristoph’s massive breakdown indicates just how much he was repressing, and also shows that he is an emotional, passionate person no matter how much he tries to keep this side of himself hidden away. seeing this vulnerability and side of kristoph makes him a bit more human and adds to his character a lot, i think, than if they had chosen a safer or less dramatic end to his story.

i also think theres something super sexy interesting about a character who is usually in a perfect state of dress being disheveled with their hair all mussed and missing their glasses and with their tie undone. its all the little details nuri throws onto this sprite that make it work so well, it definitely feels like smth you’re not supposed to see and that makes it that much more satisfying lol

#kristoph gavin #his interesting ass!!!!!!

prev anon here, apparently the numbering system views differently on your blog theme. anyway salt asks 13 19 and 22

13) Unpopular opinion about XXX character?

bobby fulbright is my best friend forever i love him so much if you disagree im sorry for your taste. see i know the default reaction is to hate him for betraying us or whatever but like i cant even be mad at him because im just eternally angry at the writers. because the plot twist SUCKS and makes NO SENSE and has NOT A BIT OF BUILDUP and its not like. sigh. whatever. we’ve talked about this

19) What is the one thing you hate most about your fandom?

well this ones easy. the entire fanon perception of the von karma-edgeworth family soap opera is like quite possibly my biggest pet peeve simply because its so horrendously prevalent. because naturally we need edgeworth 1) to be the most abused child ever in the history of existence so that phoenix can be his glorified babysitter as such is the nature of this particular brand of shlock “angst” or perhaps even you might call it “whump” and 2) to have absolutely no blame in any of the things he did as a prosecutor up until turnabout goodbyes because, well, yeah maybe he sent a whole bunch of people to prison or even to their deaths unjustly by obscuring important testimony and leading witnesses and so on and so forth, but, like, that was totally all manfred’s fault! yes miles edgeworth is a grown adult who has been making his own decisions for a good while now, but, like, if you think about it hes not actually responsible for anything he did. because manfred! and like, after turnabout goodbyes, edgeworth just totttalllyyy hates manfred and has no complicated feelings on this at all and he- huh? what about franziska? oh right i forgot about her. um well she also probably hates manfred with 0 complicating feelings i guess. i didnt really think about it but since shes basically just a glorified extension of edgeworth except a GirlBoss they probably have the same opinions. what? did i look at edgeworth’s office and see the suit manfred gave him plastered up on the wall? uhhh no. wonder why thats there. did i play investigations? ummmmmm uhhhh well there was that one line from manfred where he called miles worthless so like clearly this is evidence he personally physically beats his kids on the regular! no im not going to look at any of the rest of his behavior throughout the case and think about how this might reflect on his relationship with miles- oh right and franziska too. i forgot about her again. LOLZ ! did i play investigations 2 with my eyes open? nope 👍

ok sorry for the extended sequence of passive aggressive sarcastic strawmanning. but anyways by taking out all of the (CANONICALLY PRESENT!!!!) nuance to this situation you make everybody involved infinitely less interesting and altogether have a 1) blatantly uncanon and 2) incredibly bland story. naturally this is exactly what kind of thing the fanon enjoyers like but im still going to be a hater about it. alright whats next Ummmm

22) Popular character you hate?

hates a strong word i think. the only character i really hate is shelly because hes embarrassing and sahwit because out of EVERYBODY we couldve seen again in investigations 2. we got SAWHIT. AND WE COULDVE GOTTEN LANA ?????? WHOS ACTUALLY THEMATICALLY RELEVANT TO HALF THE STUFF GOING ON HERE????? WE COULDVE DONE SOMETHING WITH THAT ??????? OR GOD FORBID HAVE A BACKGROUND CAMEO OF SOME OF OUR PAST CONVICTS A LA EXACTLY WHAT THEY DID WITH THE DELITES????????? BUT NO ! NO ! WE GOT FRANK SAWHIT!!!!!!!!! I HATE THIS MAN !!!!!!!!!!!!! ok anyways ummmmmmmm i dunno im very fond of the whole aa cast! except for them

#THANK YOUUUUUUU #ask game answers #anon

(La referencia al fénix ya no funciona, este título está basado en el japonés, "giro total del renacer")

Ema Skye: Estela Celeste. Estrella, cielo. Nombre empieza con la misma letra que en inglés.

Lana Skye: Luna Celeste. Luna, cielo. Nombre empieza con la misma letra que en inglés.

Time to talk about the 1st Ace Attorney game. THERE WILL BE SPOILERS

So, for context, I and a friend are going through these games. We're playing by ourselves. Me, I'm a fan of the series while my friend is new to the series. As we play, we talk about thoughts and what's going on in the cases. Enough about that. Let's talk about the first game in this lovely franchise.

I'm going to break it down case by case covering story, gameplay, and characters as we go. So, for case 1, The First Turnabout, there isn't much to talk about being a glorified tutorial, so I'm going to explain gameplay(yay!). The way gameplay works is pretty simple. You just read well there's more, but you read a lot. What you do is look at your evidence to find a contradiction between it and the testimony being a cross examination. The other thing you can do is "press" a statement to gain information that might contradict the information we have at the time. To now explain what's going on in the case, it opens with showing a murder and who did it. After that, we're Phoenix Wright, the main character who's extremely nervous but passionate about defending the innocent. We also see that during the trial, he throws shade a lot. We are also introduced to his mentor, Mia Fey. A sweet woman who helps Phoenix. We don't learn much about her here. We also meet the defendant, Larry Buttz, who is Phoenix's friend. Larry just seems to be a airhead. A lovable idiot that's a romantic. When we enter the courtroom, we meet the old judge and the prosecutor Wynston Pain. Wynston Pain is more interesting being a sweet old guy who's a little overconfident but clearly is good at his job. He's a pretty funny fellow. I like him a good amount. So, the murder mystery is solid. No twists and turns. You just learn Larry is good with crafts, and the woman that was killed loved Larry at least a little. There is not much here besides establishing finding one of the witnesses as the true culprit. In this case being Frank Sawhit(Yes, we got pun names). Frank here was a Robber the poses as a newspaper sellsman. He sees Larry leave a room door left open. He goes in, and then the victim shows up, and Frank kills her. This case was about a 5/10. Nothing crazy or bad. A good toe wetter.

The next case is Turnabout Sisters. This is when the game gets really spicy. MIA FEY WAS MURDER(not the cake). This is a bit interesting because us playing as Phoenix discovers the body, but also we see her younger, adorable sister, Maya Fey morning the death of her sister. The "culprit" is Maya, and it's our job to defend her. Meeting Maya, she seems like a gen z kid. Quite funny gal. More importantly, we meet Phoenix's boyfriend, Miles Edgeworth. I mean, his childhood best friend. We find out that Miles is the prosecutor for the trial. We are now also introduced to the second gameplay style, the investigation. How this works is that you got to different locations to talk to characters and examine the places to gain information for the trial. We also meet Detective Gunshoe. A funny bit clumsy detective that can do his job when it counts. Importantly, as we investigate, we meet the witness of the murder April May(not all puns are great and funny. She plays the airhead sexy type that doesn't know what's going on. More importantly, let's talk trial and case. We cross-examine April May. We find out about the bellboy and we find wiretap I'm her hotel room. From the bellboy, we find out there was another person. Redd White the ceo of Bluecourp(more shitty puns). We got to Redd White and found out he had influence in the court, but more importantly, he was there. The next day, we cross-examine him and find out he was there at the scene where the murder happened. What did him in was the glass light. It was bought after he wiretap the phone. Redd White is funny but has a bad breakdown(not having one). Miles was quite funny here bouncing off of Phoenix like old friends. The case did have me interested but not on the edge of my seat. None of the witnesses are amazing, but do their job well. This case a 6/10 will a more interesting case that had good investigations will courtroom that was a wet fart.

Now we have Turnabout Samurai. A case in ways could've been the best but far but failed in half of the gameplay loop. The investigation section, in this case, is painful. Full of running around talking to different people and showing them 5 different items to get full information, creating a lot of headache. Gonna skip it with all you need to know that it's at the studio where they produce the popular kids show The Silver Samurai. A show we find out that Maya loves this show and Miles Edgeworth being a fan of the defendant Will Powers(more funni puns). A few characters we met: 1st is Wendy Oldbag. A big fan of the victim who's an actor and Penny Nickle, an assistant at the studio. We also meet the director, producer, and a fanboy. As the case unfolds, we find out that the victim accidently killed an actor and that the producer was part of the mafia and used this info to blackmail the victim. We find out that the case of murder was a murder gone wrong. Quite and interesting take for a case. So far, it was the most interesting finding out that it was a plan murder that the murderer ended up as a victim in self-defense. To quickly talk about Wendy Oldbag, The Fanboy, and the director. Wendy Oldbag was an angry old woman. Fanboy was a little kid fan of the series. The director bit of a creep. The case gets a 7/10 from me.

It's time for a grand story of case 4 Turnabout Goodbyes. Now, here we got a plot twist. Miles Edgeworth murdered a person. Now, as Phoenix, we must defend our boyfriend. 2 characters we must talk about is Lotta Hart. A country gal that's just infectious to be around bring out so of that southern dialect in me. When she is around, she'll be helpful in cases. The other much bigger character is Manfred von Karma. This man is a crook to the core. He's also Edgeworth's teacher. The case is full of turns as we find out that the gunshots weren't all gunshots to "almost being Christmas." We find out the Von Karma is the crook himself almost getting away with murder years ago and Edgeworth didn't kill anyone. The case also forces him to reflect on what it means to do his job. He leaves a few months later. This case was honestly fantastic. 9/10 would just read again

Now it's time for the final case of the game it's a 10/10 welcome to my Ted talk. Now, to actually explain what's going on, we find out a double(?) Murder had happened. Our defendant is Lana Sky, the chief prosecutor, and we'll talk about her later, but we are also introduced to one of the best Ace Attorney characters, Ema Sky. Lana's younger sister. In this point of her character arc she's a simple fanboy of Edgeworth and soon Phoenix. She wants to be a scientific investigator. She's a fun character. We also meet some side characters. Officer Meekins is cute. Other 2 we see are hot. Gant the important one. The head chief of police. His presence is loud but also warm. The murder is quite interesting. The victim was found in Edgeworth's car. Apparently Lana was seen stabbing the victim. The case so amazing I don't really want to talk about it. Each time I see it played out I'm just as flabbergasted. Just gonna end it here. 10/10 case

she's one of many personality-less victims in ace attorney. she's killed by frank sawhit after catching him robbing her apartment. she's also one of larry butz's many ex-girlfriends. she was a supermodel who traveled around and apparently had a lot of sugar-daddies. cindy did care for larry, though, proven by the fact she took the clock he made for her on her vacation.

the first ever character to appear in ace attorney is: cindy stone!

she lived from 1994- July, 31st, 2016

its hard to have an opinion on characters like her, but i think she's nice enough. she doesn't really do anything but die, sooo..

playing aai2 and well that was one of the best case twos in the series actually. i am going to talk about it now :DDDD

SO there’s a lot to unpack here….. first of all i kind of wanna ramble about how cool this mystery was in general, i ended up suspecting the true culprit fairly early on based on vibes alone but the case still had me second guessing about a billion times, and the reveal that the body was used as simon keyes’ pulley counter weight……. holy fuck dude…… and in true aai fashion the two returning characters, frank sawhit and regina berry, were executed surprisingly well and they both introduced a greater depth to the case so that was neat or whatever. overall the stakes felt high the whole time, there was a very satisfying feed of overarching plot stuff, and the mystery was really fun to solve. and of course edgeworth getting uno reverse carded with the updated autopsy report is fucking hilarious EVERYBODY SAY THANK YOU JUSTINE COURTNEY

anyways i am SUPER excited to see where the themes are going here and how it will play into edgeworth’s character arc. i thought aai had a very cool departure from the og trilogy in how it handles the concept of corruption and systemic chance, and aai2 is already playing super heavily into that. LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK. EVERYBODY SAY THANK YOU JUSTINE COURTNEY. she had two lines that i found really interesting — i didn’t screenshot them but i went and grabbed them from the transcript:

"I see... You have performed a thorough investigation. Which is why I am even further perplexed. Why do you not use your efforts for justice? (Edgeworth: My actions are not just? Who made that decision?) You cannot understand that? Even now? Providing support to a defense attorney, despite being a prosecutor... It is quite unnatural. This goes against the rules."

“The truth is not as vital as you seem to believe it to be. Not to the world... ...And not to the law. (…) (Edgeworth: A prosecutor is not someone who demands a guilty verdict. That is what I believe.) Those are merely your values. The law is not the plaything of any one person. If you will not submit to that... You will do well to prepare for the consequences.”

so obviously these quotes are very telling about courtney’s values, mainly that she believes order = justice and that justice is upheld through devotion. so when she sees edgeworth instead upholding justice through his passion, she mistakes him for being childish and, more importantly, uncontrollable. uncontrollable as in he’s definitely going to dig shit up that the higher ups want kept quiet, and omg we’re finally starting to address that the court system itself is kind of a fucking problem directly through the text — the closest we’ve gotten (chronologically) before now was RFtA. she’s literally just if the establishment was also a pretty lady. i love her btw if that wasn’t clear

so she’s our rival prosecutor because it sets up this conflict where courtney’s logic isn’t necessarily bad, it just needs to be challenged. it was the same in aai with best girl shi-long lang, where he had a grudge against prosecutors, but he and edgeworth ended up learning to work together and stuff (they also definitely kissed) because he wasn’t wrong, just emblematic of a problem within the “finding the truth” process or whatever. so we’re definitely going to see the fight for change continued here. it picks up from edgeworth’s speech in aai: (“There is no limit to the law. Any limit that exists was set there by man. When a person goes beyond that limit, then the law, too, crosses into new territory!”), and it LOOKS LIKE it’s going to lead directly into the more complex themes about systemic reform shown in apollo justice.

and this thing with edgeworth considering a possible future as a defense attorney???? CHEFS KISS. in bridge to turnabout he got to defend so that he could see what his life might have been like if his father hadn’t died, but it was purely a hypothetical so that he could have closure. now he’s actually being handed the opportunity to become a defense attorney and being forced to directly grapple with what it means to be a prosecutor and it’s SO GOOD because it’s gripping and relevant to his storyline, but it also feels like a step up from his previous “what does it mean to be a prosecutor” journey in the og trilogy, which was more fueled by trauma and confusion. its like the difference between your first six months in therapy and your third year in therapy. it’s so fucking good yall i am bouncing in my seat

one thing that’s still bothering me though is?? how was the assassin guy able to play correspondence chess in the mail?? is he not literally blind??? ik he was supposed to have an egregiously high standard of living in his cell but am i supposed believe that both him and knightly had a braille typewrighter or an embossing machine in prison?????

also the pacing was a little terrible but like, if you’re playing investigations you just need to be okay with that i think. whatever.

anyways ummmmmm that’s it lol. if you read this thanks for taking the time i guess!!! don’t spoil me please!

#aai2 liveblogging #aai2 #sully is typing #aai2 spoilers #aai spoilers #i hate that i process fiction by overanalyzing the fuck out of it but might as well embrace it and scream predictions into tumblr void <3 #aa
