I like AJ Ema because she's super rude... or rather, The dissonance between that and her pasyät self.

I like AJ Ema more than her RftA version, for some reason. Maybe the youngest one was too much like Maya for me or something. But I love her Investigations version, too.

Why'd y'all think that GS Ema was Maya II? :yogi:

Cause she was Maya, only science instead of spiritual magic. The game even lampshades how much Ema and Lana remind Phoenix of Maya and Mia. Two sisters, one in the law department, both only have each other... also, just LOOK at her. Her entire appearance AND MOVEMENTS are akin to Maya's.

Because all optimistic characters are the same, just like all pessimistic characters.
Because the similarities between them totally didn't set them up as dramatic foils with differing individual problems.
Because people are fools who can't see past first impressions.

I was talking about her PERSONALITY, Behavior, etc. Not about the physical appearance.

I dunno how many of y'all have said this, but without a doubt for me it's Ben and Trilo. Most of the characters in that case are flawed (and not in a good way) but Ben and Trilo stand head and shoulders above the rest for me in terms of annoyance. Moe is downright enjoyable in comparison.


"Hat! Cloak! Roses!" x300 000

Urrrgh.... *shudder* Just thinking about it makes me angry.


I think what annoys me is the idea that Trilo is supposed to be a different entity. We get it, Ben is the shy guy who can't talk without his puppet, but some of the things "Trilo" says are just proper arrogant, and we know that Ben is obviously behind it, but he constantly hides behind his puppet and goes on about how much he disagrees with Trilo, even when he's on the witness stand. It's like ".....what? This is stupid".
MY SIG. THIS IS IT. HAPPY?

Both are upbeat, happy-go-lucky girls who are just as fast to turn sad over nothing and have a terrible, terrible bad homelife. Sound similar enough?

As for Ben and Trilo (I always wanna say Ven and Trilo because durr), maybe Ben has shizophrenia that he can only properly channel (or learned to "maintain") by using the puppet as a, well, scapegoat.

Ema was supposed to be similar to Maya, why is this even an argument

The whole reason Phoenix snapped out of his depression and actually took on Ema's case was because she reminded him so much of Maya

That's it? That's all it takes to be considered a clone? By that logic, Vanille is Maya.

One of the major differences is that Maya is way more playful, teasing Nick when given a chance, while Ema is mostly there assisting a lawyer in defending her sister - she did become close to Phoenix, but not in a 'best buddy' sense - she keeps calling Phoenix 'Mr. Wright", after all.

I'd just like to point out Batman's done something like this with the Ventriloquist and Scarface. Take out Scarface, and the Ventriloquist is completely harmless. There were even a few times when Scarface tried to kill the Ventriloquist.

Well, least favorite has always been a hard question for me because there are different "kinds" of least favorites, like for writing. boring, missed potential, evil, etc. But here is my most hated character.
Spoiler: GK1 (INVESTIGATIONS) and 2-4
Quercus. Alba.
This guy almost destroyed what little sanity I had left.
Every Time. EVERY. GOD. DAMN. TIME. You try to corner his guy he weasels out with some terrible excuse.
People complain sometimes how Matt Engarde's case dragged out.
Those people have NEVER beaten GK1 then.

You show him proof he was in the smuggling ring?
"Nope, it was Manny"
You show him footage of him on the KG-8 surveillance and that he killed Demasque II?
"Nope, exterratorial rights brah."
Show him proof that the body was smuggled Allebahst then to Babahl?
"That doesn't prove I killed him."
Show him proof he had the murder weapon hidden in his bouquet?
"Pfft, my secretary put it there."
Show him proof he's lying about watching the steel samurai show?
I'm thinking: He's gonna say he fell asleep isn't he? Because he's “old”...?
"Lul, bathroom"
Me:JESUS CHRIST. NO. STOP.
Show him proof Manny was killed in the dressing room with the red sun.
"Pfft, the dude who made it musta had a nosebleed"
Me: ...no, just. No...
Show him HIS blood is on the samurai dogs.
"Proves nothin' Manny didn't even have a weapon."

The most redeeming thing about him is that he loses in the end. And that he makes me love Matt Engarde even more for not making me go through this "no I didn't!" Hell and just whipping out the brandy and saying "yo, dude, i'm evil."
But this guy tried so desperately to string you along that he did nothing that he even reverted back it his “innocent old man” when his title was revoked.

He's probably one of those people I'll probably lighten up on over time. and I guess he succeeded as a villian.
He has far more power, presence, and composure than Gant could dream of having.
But I'll absolutely still hate this guy either way...

If I don't cop out with a villain then

:chef: - I didn't find him funny or charming. I barely know french and even I can tell he's terrible at french and I don't find it endearing. I don't get the whole "court can't tell his gender" joke and after I thought we were Aromatherapy bros he stole my magatama!
Then when I try to forgive him, he testifies against me... Why man, why? :larry:

:maggey-sad: - I've lightened up on her but I still don't like how rude she was to Gumshoe. I hate it when people keep being jerks to Gumshoe and I don't care if he gave good testimony. If it's anyones fault then it's Phoenix's for not being able to break it. So don't be mean to Gumshoe. </3

Silentbelle, Quercus sounds preety stealthy or clever to me. Is the point being that he always slips out of Edgeworth's hands when he tries to prove he is the culprit on GK? Clever, clever.

I agree the fact where you hate Engarde. He told his henchman (de killer) to kidnap poor Maya and kill Juan. He's actually a monster. I totally agree with you here.

A final boss is always supposed to put up a fight, but they just overdid it with Alba. Besides, it wasn't especially challenging or interesting, just very long. In the end, defeating him was more relieving than satisfying.

Speaking of overdone boss battles, they seem to be a characteristic of the GK games. I could say the same for the final battle in GK2, but at least the ending was much more satisfying thanks to one scene. If it weren't for that, I'd have been quite disappointed after the long and hard-fought struggle.

But just to be fair, I will admit that the battle with Alba plays its role quite well. This is pretty much how fighting a slippery politician IRL would be like... but with extra shouting and Interpol drama. They didn't leave any possibilities out to chance. It may not have been the best choice for gameplay, but for story writing, just fine. And yes, even the lackluster ending is done just right. Somehow, I just got this "bad action movie plot" feeling from it and later laughed it off.

Actually, I played GK2 right after AAI so the final case felt even short to me.

oh my god the cases in GK2 were so long. I think cases 3-5 had the long content of 1-5 in them.

Hmm. My least favorite character... Is Kay Faraday.

I don't know why. And I want DESPERATELY to like her, but I don't for some odd reason.

100% agree on the relieving part! But I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel satisfied seeing him shrivel up. Albeit I did find it mildly disturbing.
I'm not the hugest fan of seeing eyes recede into a skull for prolonged periods of time. :P

I haven't played GK2 though yet, but I'm starting today. Super excited! :edgey:
