Regarding Kristoph...

Spoiler: In keeping with the spoilers here
In siding with "The locks were broken" side, I think they were just there to show how much of an insane egomaniac Kristoph was. I do however think we need a better look into Kristoph's mind, since the idea of an unorthodox "evil" defense attorney is interesting, as has been said, with a case from his POV.

Zak Gramarye was a high-profile client. He wanted to win the case at any cost in order to get the fame from successfully defending Zak. Therefore, he got the diary page forged in order to ensure his victory. However, Zak then switched his attorney to Phoenix. From Kristoph's point of view, he was fired only because he lost a poker game; he was mad, and decided to get revenge on Zak and Phoenix. That's why he tipped of Klavier and gave the diary page to Phoenix, in order to get Phoenix disbarred and Zak declared guilty. Everything he did after that was to keep tabs on the relevant people, and ensure the truth of what he did was never revealed.


But as far as villains go, he just seemed incredibly flat. The black psyche-locks were extremely anticlimactic considering other characters had had red ones for bigger secrets. I'm not saying that his story ISN'T complete, I just feel like they did a poor job of wrapping it up and since characters often make reappearances in the AA world, it's not unreasonable to think he might show up again in GS5 if we're going to assume it's an AJ sequel.

Characters are often in multiple games, but not killers. Only two (or possibly three) killers have appeared in multiple games. One is Manfred von Karma, and he only appeared in flashbacks in GK2. The other is
Spoiler: GK2
Frank Sahwit, but he's pretty much the minorist of the minor villains, plus it was a special case since it took place in a prison. You could also include Shelly de Killer, but he wasn't the main villain (really, he's a plot device :P)


Also
Spoiler: 4-4
Kristoph got evidence forged, lied to his broher, framed Nick, got Zak a wrongful guilty verdict, set up a plot to kill both Drew and Vera, and kept tabs on Spark Brushel for 7 years. I'm not sure what 'bigger secrets' you're talking about.

Just saw the news! So very, very awesome that it's FINALLY in real production <3

I'm also excited about the Android versions of GS1-3! I didn't have time to read this whole thread, but I did see some Wooster comments about Android having only ad-supported apps and not wanting GS to have ads. Yes Google made ad-supported apps a popular business model. Especially for new/indie developers. More people will try something if it's free! HOWEVER, that doesn't mean Android apps HAVE to have ads in them. There's tons of paid games out there with no ads whatsoever. I doubt Capcom will release an ad-supported version. I wanna play the Ace Attorney games on my Xperia Play!

If you recall the scene in Kristoph's cell during the MASON system part, the black psyche-locks appeared when Phoenix specifically asked Kristoph why he killed Zak Gramarye... It was already apparent to Phoenix (and heavily implied to the player) that he'd done many of the things you said... When Kristoph said he killed Zak because he was an evil person...Well, that's kind of still the answer we got in the end. It felt like there was little point to much of that interogation scene if that's all that was ever meant.
I know if Kristoph were to return, there would be little reference to case 4-1 or 4-4 because that would mean having to haul back characters whose stories ARE finished completely; Vera, Valant, even Zak. But if, like mentioned by some others, we could see more of his own personal history things would make more sense. :acro:

The reason he had psyche-locks when asked why he had killed Zak was because the truth was related to his forged evidence and plot to kill Vera and Misham, which I already detailed in my earlier post.


Kristoph is finished, just like the other characters >_> Presumably, this was mostly all the bad stuff he did--just the stuff related to Zak's trial 7 years ago. All other times, he acted personally nice and gentlemanly; if we played at him, it would be THAT Kristoph, not the evil villain. How many evil plots do you think he's made? Yes, we don't find out why he was so crazy... but did we ever find out why von Karma was obsessed with perfection, or why Gant was so power-hungry, or why Engarde didn't trust anyone, or why Alba created the smuggling ring?

But are those stories finished completely? We still don't know anything about how Thalassa ended up in Borginia, or who shot her, why Magnifi went to such lengths to cover it up, who Apollo's dad is or what happened to him, etc. All those things deeply involve Zak, Valant, Thalassa, Apollo, and Trucy. All you have to do to connect all those things to Kristoph is tie it back to the smuggling ring already mentioned in three of the four cases. "International smugglers" was a huge plot point in Investigations as well.

It wouldn't take much effort at all to make Kristoph relevant to future case.

Well Vera's nice. I could see her coming back as a non-witness character (kind of like Lotta in the final case of the second game).

I think she'd be friends with Apollo and Trucy, so that's something tying them all together.

They could take it a step further and give you AR (augmented Reality) cards so you could make a 3D model of a witness of even a whole crime scene and move around and examine it.



That would be a reason to bring Kay into the main series: Little Thief 3D investigations.

I mean, come on, they brought Ema to AJ solely to introduce the Forensic features to Apollo, so how about doing the same with Kay, so we can get 3Ds Crime Scene reconstruction?

(I guess it's obvious that I like the basic concept of Little thief a lot... Just not how AAI 1-2 used it. ^^; )



All in all I think it's safe to say that GS5 being on the 3DS would really open up new gameplay possibilities. It's like tech magic! :minuki:

And while I guess they could fit him in, I think that would be kind of boring... What's the point of proving him guilty if he's already in jail for life?

I can see Vera returning..Spark also, and maybe Guy Eldoon. As for Kristoph he could return in a flashback case as someone said before, or maybe at some point in one of the cases, Apollo could go to visit him in jail to ask him something about the current case. Now that i think about it, i wouldn't be surprised if the Big Bad of GS5 is someone related to Kristoph. Heck, he could even be pulling the strings form jail, you know, as retaliation for convicting him in GS4. He could target Phoenix or even Apollo or Trucy!

Spoiler:
In all honesty, I think Kristoph has been taken care of already. He's been essencially found guilty of TWO crimes already with two breakdowns, so I think 3 might be a little overkill... your other ideas are plausible though.

Spoiler: Some more Kristoph stuff
While I personally dislike the idea of Kristoph returning in person- He shouldn't be a godmode Sue, who can kill people after being convicted TWICE, I think it would be interesting to see characters influenced by him in some way, in a simmilar vain to how Von Karma's actions (and, by extension, DL-6), had influence on the entire PW saga AND AAI, despite him having been executed by the time Franzy arrived on screen.

We could, for example, meet some of Apollo's old collegues from Gavin Law Offices and hear their opinion about Apollo getting the guy convicted and "switching sides". We could also see the effects that having two people extremly close to him turning out to be murderers had on Klavier. (He lost both, Kristoph and Daryan in fast sucession).

I second the last statement. I think Klavier is a bit 'flat' in AJ. He's a rare, nice prosecutor who focuses on truth rather than winning a case. While that's a good trait, he didn't give much challenge to Apollo in court. Even when he loses, he just shrugged it off. That doesn't give him much room for development. It'd be interesting to see how the last two AJ cases affects him, losing two person closest to him (well, maybe he's not so close to Kristoph, but he's his brother :garyuu: ). I've read an interesting theory about how he changed post-AJ, he became an opposite of Edgeworth- spiteful and reaches for a guilty verdict no matter what it costs. :edgeworth: I think it's an interesting twist.

I hope if Klavier appear in GS5, we'll get to Perceive him. I wonder what his nervous tick is. :redd:

Hmm... I wouldn't be opposed to Klavier returning in GS5. I'll be the first to admit, he was the least interesting prosecutor. But, I had that feeling with Franny and her appearance in GS3, and GK1-4 turned that around totally. Sometimes a take-2 is all they need.

Though I still don't believe for a SECOND Klavier's ending.

Spoiler: Gavins and AJ plot
To add to the above, they could also discuss the relationship between the Gavin Brothers. It seemed to me while Klavier looked up and respected his brother, at least before the end of 4-4, Kristoph resented his brother and didn't want to associate with him. Maybe something happened that caused this resentment and started Kristoph on the path of darkness.

Maybe I'm the only person who cares of this, but I'm still curious about the Borgian Cocoon Smuggling Incident. I'm talking about the first one that happened that caused all the uproar and make the cocoons illegal to export. I thought they might discuss that in one of the AAI games. I can't really say if that's still a relevant polt or not though

About GS5, I want Apollo as the main character. I like the ideal of a flashback case or two.

About Phoenix, I'd say have him playable in part of the final case similar to how Edgeworth was playable in 3-5.

I'm wondering if Machi and Valant will return.

I wouldn't mind seeing Vera come back. Eldoon could come back, but I don't think he's THAT interesting. And Brushel could turn out to be Polly's Lotta, so...
Like I said, Kristoph being the big bad of GS5 would just be... dull. How many evil plots can he have going on at once? And he's already been the villain in two cases. And he's already in jail for life! (Someone connected to Kristoph is a different story, but I just don't want Kristoph himself >_>)

I don't think Klavier is going to change. He didn't lose the two people closest to him in the last two cases--he lost Kristoph in the first case; he had already lost them in 4-4. And how was he affected? He wasn't. There was almost a chance for Klavier to be interesting when Kristoph was liek, "Klavier... Are you really going to just let them convict me? We're brothers!" But no, Klavier chooses the truth over his own family. It would be interesting for Klavier to be the prosecutor in a case where Polly's client is guilty, but they'd need some way to make it different from 2-4.
(actually I do have an idea to make Klavier very fun and interesting without completely going against his characterization in the game, but I'm already making a fancase about that and no spoilers~)

Spoiler: And a Klavier Theory
My personal theory for why Klavier really stopped his rockstar career was always that he was in a beginning depression. He had lost a brother, a close friend and also realized that he had caused an innocent person a long period of disgrace of pain with his naivety. Chances are, he doesn't know what to believe in anymore and needs some time to figure out which way to go. But he hides those feelings... behind a smile. Just like Trucy.

Just try to tell me that's not worth exploring.

One thing that might be cool is Klavier being the defendant a la Turnabout Goodbyes. We get a guest prosecutor, and maybe some epic backstory for Klavier.

It'll also help the relationship with Apollo and Klavier, because as of now, there is hardly anything that makes them go well together. I mean, shit. Phoenix and Edgeworth were childhood friends, reunited in the courtroom to do battle. Apollo and Klavier didn't even know each other before 4-2. There was barely anything tying them together. :yuusaku:

Eh... What's worth exploring about it? Klavier is a nice guy who cares about the truth. There's no room for him to grow--either he'll go full circle and end up right where he began, or take a step back. The former is boring and the latter is just a downer. And if he does become embittered/depressed and then gets 'saved' by Polly, it'll just be a rehash of the Nick/Edgey plot.

The fact that Klavier has no room to positively grow really limits his possibilities of fulfilling character development.

Really, I just like the guy. His personality reminds me of Dante, which is probably why I attached myself so easily to him.

There's only two characters I really, genuinely liked in Ace Attorney 4: Trucy and Klavier.

If he comes back, I'd probably be fine with whatever they did with him as long as he was mostly the same character.

My personal theory for why Klavier really stopped his rockstar career was always that he was in a beginning depression. He had lost a brother, a close friend and also realized that he had caused an innocent person a long period of disgrace of pain with his naivety. Chances are, he doesn't know what to believe in anymore and needs some time to figure out which way to go. But he hides those feelings... behind a smile. Just like Trucy.

Just try to tell me that's not worth exploring.

Spoiler:
Eh... What's worth exploring about it? Klavier is a nice guy who cares about the truth. There's no room for him to grow--either he'll go full circle and end up right where he began, or take a step back. The former is boring and the latter is just a downer. And if he does become embittered/depressed and then gets 'saved' by Polly, it'll just be a rehash of the Nick/Edgey plot.

The fact that Klavier has no room to positively grow really limits his possibilities of fulfilling character development.



Conversly, I think that Klavier's setup makes for very good growth, as I think he was very far form perfect in AJ, there was a certain naivety to many of his actions that set him apart from the other prosecutors. I'll agree to disagree, but I think there's still a lot that can be done with that character setup. :kyouya:

Not every character developement has to go "Jerk--> Less Jerk."

What wasn't perfect with him? He's a bit naive? I know the characterization can go 'not jerk --> jerk', but I just really doubt that they'll give Klavier a Face Heel Turn and just leave him there. I mean, I guess they could get rid of his naivete, but doing so without a change in value would feel a bit empty, I think. (And if they do change his values, it'll be for the worse, considering the values he already has.)

There's stuff inbetween "Jerk" and "Not Jerk".

I know, you might laugh this off now, but there's a wonderful fanfic showing how well you can work with Klavier post-AJ. All it features is him and Apollo talking. While feeding ducks. Nothing else. And it's beautiful.

I actually didn't get the impression he was particularly naive at all. On the contrary he seemed like a perfectly calm and controlled professional. Moreso than Edgeworth even, with Edgeworth everything is intense and focused you can see him thinking through every lie and problem in his head. With Klavier he does everything naturally and doesn't particularly let pride get in his way.

He is more or less perfect...depending on your view of perfection. He's a fine upstanding human being, I doubt he'll have major issues with his brother in jail. I have nothing wrong with Klavier being a main character in the next one.

I imagine he'll be a pure ally in the next one, possibly there for an early or tutorial trial.

Like what? Slightly jerkish, semi-jerkish, mostly jerkish...? :P But since Klavier is pretty much as far on the "Not Jerk" side you can go, it's still 'negative' character development, no matter what it is.

Kinda hard to read it without a link, or even a title or author to find it with :P

Yeah, I don't have a problem with him being there (I mean, I think it'd be a bit strange if he just dropped out of Polly's life, especially since he disbanded the Gavinners to focus on his prosecutorial career), but the plain conflict/arc of the game shouldn't be about him, just because I can't really see any fulfilling, original character development that can be done well with him.

It's not happy :P

Despite dealing with all the death and murder and stuff, the AA series tends to be positive and happy (in the end, at least ^^'). They could give Klavier 'negative' character development, but I just can't see them then not undoing it. It would be one thing if he was a better person in the end, but I'm not sure how much better they could make him than he already is, plus I imagine it'd feel a lot like Edgey's character arc.

I would link the fanfic now, hadn't I lost the link to it (I kinda hate myself for that... It was on FF dot net. If you ever find a One Shot fanfic about Apollo and Klavier feeding ducks while discussing stuff; That's the one), but personally, I too think nothing is wrong with negative character developement as long as it's done RIGHT.

I'm taking the KH series as an example now, because it's one of my other favorites, but there you see a good example of negative character developement on the main character of all people, and without getting Angsty at all. Sora starts out as an innocent, idealistic, happy kid, but grows gradually more agressive, set on revenge and obsessive to a point as it goes on. It's slow changes, you don't notice them right away and they don't make him angsty at all, but the difference is noticable if you put cutscenes from KH1 and KH2 next to each other.


That's a kind of GOOD negative character developement: Slowly altering the personality without making a striking difference right away. THIS is how good writers do it. And this can be done to any character. Klavier as well. And that's what I want to see, you know.

You say he will be able to "Deal with it fine", but that's not true. Klavier's human, not a godlike being. What he went through WILL slowly take it's toll on him, because he is human and has emotions and has to live with them. Everytime he remembers he's the brother of a murderer that will gnaw on his mind at least a little bit, because it's just not a thought one would want to have to face.

Maybe he's not main-conflict material, yes, but don't claim he had no room for interesting developement. I see plenty.

Alright....

I'd say AJ1 Klavier...is close in personality to KH2 Sora...who wasn't that obsessive in my eyes...or was at least justified considering the circumstances his friend had disappeared in and how everyone was avoiding questions about said friend. He was inquisitive about the truth. Klavier in concert...seemed more obsessive than Sora was, when he got 'serious' about music and cracked down on the slightest thing.

I think your analogy doesn't really work for negative character development, because...well the level you compared it to is what Klavier is naturally...he's not naive, he's sharp.


Though he already had to deal with his estranged brother being jailed....so he has another charge added to his record and probably another 20 or more years onto his sentence. It's nothing that would warp his character completely since he is already coping with his brother in jail.

His brother was sentenced as a murderer in case 1....Klavier was perfectly fine throughout the game, no 'eating away' at him. In fact the only reason he may snap in the end is the sheer awkward pressure that was placed on him as his word would directly affect his brothers fate and he would have to pit family ties against law.

Sure the topic may be slightly 'dark' to him, but I'm sure many families struggle with criminal bad eggs and cope perfectly fine.

Again, I agree to disagree. I don't see it the way you do, but that's alternative character interpretation. In the end, nobody knows the truth but the one who wrote Klavier, we should remember that.

But are those stories finished completely? We still don't know anything about how Thalassa ended up in Borginia, or who shot her, why Magnifi went to such lengths to cover it up, who Apollo's dad is or what happened to him, etc. All those things deeply involve Zak, Valant, Thalassa, Apollo, and Trucy. All you have to do to connect all those things to Kristoph is tie it back to the smuggling ring already mentioned in three of the four cases. "International smugglers" was a huge plot point in Investigations as well.

It wouldn't take much effort at all to make Kristoph relevant to future case.

...But Kristoph wasn't ever connected to the smuggling rings. Zak, Valant, etc still have unfinished stories, but it still doesn't really connect to Kristoph. And while I guess they could fit him in, I think that would be kind of boring... What's the point of proving him guilty if he's already in jail for life?[/quote]

Didn't they say that Atroquinine (Kris' poison of choice) could be made from a Borginian Cocoon? In order to get his hands on it he would have had to import it illegally. Instant connection.

And even if Kristoph were to appear in another game, it doesn't necessarily follow that you'd be proving him guilty. He could appear as a witness; kind of like Apollo's Hannibal Lector.

Well they said that a poison can be made from the Borginian cocoons, but I don't think they ever said that that poison was atroquinine. (Although on the other hand, they never denied it.)

And, I mean, if they could bring Kristoph back if they really want, but I think he's still basically been resolved. We still don't know exactly why Magnifi sent Thalassa away or about Polly's father, but I don't think they really need Kristoph to address those >_>
