Dahlia. Such a awful, manipulative person, and even though other evil characters such as Matt and Manfred fascinated me, Dahlia didn't do that. She was just terrible, and with her innocent approach that fooled everyone... No.
Gimme a "P"! Gimme an "I"! Give me a "P" and an "E"! What's that spell?! Pipe!

exactly she just used anyone she pleased. What got to me the most is how manipulated Terry Fawles who only loved her and was so innocent. Well except for rocking the cradle xD

Well, using everyone as one pleases... is quite an interesting concept. :jake:

Of course, I did hate her at the time I was playing it, but she still makes for an interesting character.

Pretty much any of the sidekicks put into the game...

:maya: - She's too preppy, she acts like a kid with ADD at times and then gets sad because she's not a good Defense Aid, despite not being qualified for that position. I give her the benefit that she is portrayed as strong when she needs to be at the end of 3-5, but why do they have to talk like it's a big deal? Or why do her fans say, "OmG she is so awesome, being strong for Pearl's sake!" That is nothing special, that's just something you do.

:scientific: - Just a Maya clone, replacing "Magic" with "Science". And you can't deny that she was an absolute clone of Maya's because even the case she appeared in made reference to it. She was a bit more grounded than Maya in 1-5, but she also was more depressed at times than Maya.
And I will point out in AJ that she is pretty dumb. She failed the test of the thing she wanted to do? Considering her huge enthusiasm for it in 1-5, it seems impossible that she failed. And if she hates her Detective job so much, why doesn't she freaking quit it and re-take the test?

:minuki: - Preppy clone with Stage Magic instead of Real Magic. She was cute as a kid, but otherwise... she grows up and is still preppy and seems pretty flat. In the final case, she finds out her father was killed and she doesn't seem to give a fuck about that. Girl, your father is dead! I know people complain about Regina not reacting but at least she did have the reaction of being happy because she can see him as a star again Say something about it, don't just stand there with a smile and wait for the trial to finish.

:keylady: - She has no purpose in the game! She's just there to fulfill the "active, young, girl sidekick" role and here is where it got really annoying. Because she served no really helpful purpose in the game. She has Little Thief, but even that wasn't too helpful.

I'm not putting :pearl: onto the list because I overall like her, even if her slapping Phoenix got old really fast, alongside her hard-on for Phoenix/Maya and thinking that every small thing one might do for a friend immediately means LOVE.
Also no Kokone because I haven't played GS5 and am not sure if I will...

I have a bunch of them, mostly because I really like most of the characters in the games, so when there's one I don't like I tend to REALLY not like them.

:hotti: - Creepy, annoying, and the jokes revolving around him were not funny.

:nixiesob: (AKA young Phoenix) - He's so different from his older self, and I really don't like his personality. Oh well.

:shatter: (Both Godot and Diego) - I just don't find him interesting. I do find him irritating though. The only good thing about him is his theme song (the orchestrated version - the video game version is actually kind of irritating too).

:chef: - Not funny and an offensive stereotype. Also he's in one of the worst cases in AA history.

:study: - Just an annoying witness. I don't like anything about this guy.

...It's going to be a list

Sal Monella, Mike Meekins, Director Hotti, a bit everyone from Turnabout Big Top (maybe except Acro), Jean Armstrong, Klavier Gavin, Kitaki family, Alita Tiala, Wesley Stickler, Machi Tobaye (mostly design), Daryan Crescend (design too), Spark Brushel, Kay Faraday for being there for no reason, Zinc Lablanc, Lance Amano.

...Whew, I'm done.

One instance... I could've finished that case much earlier, had I been capable of telling Edgeworth to look at the stupid angle of the entrance and exit wound. He would've gotten to the right conclusion much earlier. And Little Thief would have been moot.

:godot: / :javado: - What a dick! He's sexist and a jerk. His constant coffee jokes and essays and metaphors comparisons and bla bla bla, you are addicted to coffee, we get it! Plus, his whole reason for everything in 3-5 was a total crapfest. That guy needs to move on, preferably by getting beaten up.

yeah if that was the case then you have a point, but what matters is that little thief was still usual in helping edgeworth solve the case which in turn means it is usual making Kay useful : :sassy:

Right? Considering Ema had no purpose except a Cameo, they could've cut Kay out of the game and just made Ema give Edgeworth the Little Thief as a gift or something. That would've made Ema's appearance better than just a cameo for her fans' sakes. And keep Kay out of the game.

And Kay in I-4? Who cares, they could've given someone else that role.
Or even in GK2-1 with the pictures... someone else could've taken those.

Jean Armstrong. Not because he's probably gay, but because that's his ENTIRE CHARACTER. I have absolutely no problems with movies/shows/video games having gay characters. In fact, it's great that they do. But it really bothers me when a character's sexual preference is their ONLY defining trait. Pretty much all the situations that involve Armstrong are really just gay innuendo s with a few French puns.

Oh yeah, and Oldbag really gets on my nerves. Don't bring her back. EVER.

Well... I consider myself a bit of a homophobe, so I guess I shouldn't speak too much of it... But yeah, he is pretty annoying. His behavior, his appearance, his manner of speech, his body language (especially dancing...), everything...

Also, I want Oldbag to return. As an easter egg in a case that uses cemetery location, if you catch my drift. The only option I approve of.

I also think that he's the prime example of the gay stereotype, which is a bad thing. I'm not going to debate homosexuality with you, but you should really not judge people just because of their sexual preference. Homosexuality has been observed in thousands of animal species, and we're no different. The only animal that actively condemns it is the human, and because of bigotry; that's the reason why gay people still can't get married in a lot of countries.

The media also has to stop using these stereotypes or have gay characters just for the sake of being gay. If a character is gay, fine; but don't make that their only defining trait or characteristic.

Don't we already have a thread for this?
And didn't Cat make the same points on the other other thread for hating characters?
Oh well, since I'm here I might as well mention:
MISTY FREAKING FEY. Yes, I get they called her fraud. So what? That's no reason to abandon her village as well as her two daughters, especially when she knows she channeled Gregory. Even fifteen years later, when the man responsible publicly explains why she was considered a fraud, she still didn't return. And even when Maya's life was in danger, all she had to do was stop hiding, look out to her daughter, and tell her who she really is.

As much as I agree on his behavior being a gay stereotype, I don't think his appearance is. I mean, if you asked me what a gay stereotype would look like, I'd say a pretty lean figure and either tall, as the Seme, or semi-short, around Maya's height or up to 178 cms, for the Uke. And Jean is, well, supremely musclebound - in the arms. That somehow doesn't strike me as a gay stereotype...

Eh, screw the Yatagarasu. That part wasn't very interesting. Sure the Yatagarasu, the non-AA one, is a symbol for guidance, but not the kind that would be helpful in law. It guided an Emperor to a certain region. And prior to that, a three-legged crow meant Rebirth or Rejuvination.

Spoiler: Plus, the truth about the Yatagarasu's meaning of three legs was dumb
I don't care how shitty you think the laws and jurisdictions in your country are, a prosecutor, detective and defense attorney are just as much not allowed to take the law into their own hands as every other normal person.

remember the Yatagarasu meaning in the AA world is the seeker of truth, you should know the AA world is much different the real world. The Laws are never perfect, you should know that all laws arn't just and right and has sent many innocent people in jail. I thought it was a good idea to have the Yatagarasu
Spoiler:
"3 legs" meaning being sometimes one must take up a stand to the corrupt laws and the people who are considered "above the law" and be able to punish them for their crimes.

No, I didn't mean that it would make her interesting.
I meant that it would be a nice punch in the face for all the Oldbag-despisers. An Easter Egg that turns out to not be an Easter Egg after all. Game designers like to show nice glimpses of happy Easter Eggs to the player and then crush their little hope.

I can't stand either Calisto Yew or Alita Tiala. I hate the kinda woman who would be so manipulative as to try and marry into the high life like that or betray longstanding allies so easily. Also I just can't stand how Calisto can't take anything seriously, her laughing at Edgeworth being serious had me thinking "god they've reached into my mind and made my most hated character a reality"

Totally agree with this. Jean Armstrong is the thing that bothers me most of all in this series, and its because he's an offensive character that just reinforces stereotypes. He's probably one of the most stereotypical characters I've ever seen in a video game, and I find it very irksome that the developers didn't think about how offensive it could be taken as. The conversations where people are always wondering "is he a woman or a man" or where he is constantly flirting with everyone are all really stereotypical and not very realistic. I would hate for some jerk to play T&T then start bullying a gay kid in his school because he thinks he's like Jean Armstrong, who is obviously not even attempting to be an accurate portrayal of a gay person and is instead just a homophobic creation based on stereotypes.

I don't hate Oldbag, but I've never loved her and I'm very tired of her. And she's also somewhat homophobic, although perhaps inadvertently (See my topic in the GS2 Section). I think she's a situation of them bringing a character back too many times.

I don't have anything to say about :maya: again. No, actually, I have. She's childish, unfocused, dependant, irrational and I can't understand why she doesn't show a bit more of emotional breakdown given all the shit she's been through. Her sister and her mother died, her life's pretty fucked up and she's supposed to have at least some darker moments, but NO, she's always with that fucking smile talking nonsense. What the hell is that girl's problem? Oh no, I don't get it, I know. She's an angel, she's too kind.

Edit: VERY glad to see that some people here dislike Godot too. "Hihihi i'm cool i'm sexy! women are my kittens oh look at my coffee and how i'm a tragic person with a tragic life, the woman which i loved died so i'm taking revenge at her pupil ARRRGH you should have protected the woman so i'll fuck up your life!!!! oh wait... now I'm sorry, sorry sorry please, now I realise how stupid I was". Seriously, I CAN'T STAND his sexist macho man ass type.

Let me give you a screenshot of part of Oldbag's testimony in 1-3.

Her is how VGR interpreted her text: Oldbag describes her old-fashioned version of gaydar.

...I think it's pretty accurate! :redd:

I agree. If they want to make Godot out to be a tragic hero, don't make him wake up at a point where Dahlia was still alive and he could've mocked her for failing to really kill him, getting his 'revenge' that way. Instead, they made him cling to his past and whine about it and not think of somehow moving on, being a dick - although everybody in the AA-verse is a dick - and blaming Wright for something that isn't his fault in any way... he should be blaming Maya, after all! She was the one who was supposed to be there by 9 PM!

She was there by 9 PM. White just happened to be there at 8:57 PM.
Actually, Phoenix was also supposed to be there at 9:00 PM. He was there at 9:07 PM.
And no, I'm not defending Godot's actions. He's still a dick.

So... Maya being strong after witnessing her mother being killed is no big deal and 'just something you do' (?) but then Trucy being strong is wrong because it's unrealistic not to have a reaction? I think you're kind of contradicting yourself here...

I don't like Kay Faraday either. I think she's one of the flattest main characters in the series. Ever wonder why she's not in much fanfiction? There's nothing interesting about her and she's borderline Mary-Sue. There's no potential for her. She's just kind of...there.

I agree that Godot was a dick but I didn't hate him. He was a good character and his asshole-ness was just part of his characterization. I don't think anyone was excusing it.

So... Maya being strong after witnessing her mother being killed is no big deal and 'just something you do' (?) but then Trucy being strong is wrong because it's unrealistic not to have a reaction? I think you're kind of contradicting yourself here...


My problem with Trucy is that she doesn't even seem to acknowledge that her father is dead.

She was there by 9 PM. White just happened to be there at 8:57 PM.
Actually, Phoenix was also supposed to be there at 9:00 PM. He was there at 9:07 PM.
And no, I'm not defending Godot's actions. He's still a dick.


Then Maya AND Phoenix need to learn the idea of being somewhere early. I'm not saying they need to be there 30 minutes prior to the meeting time, but being there less than 5 minutes before the supposed meeting time is cutting it pretty close. After all, what if a train had been running late or something?

And White is an idiot for cutting it that close, too. He should have been there long before Maya were to arrive. After all, he couldn't predict that Maya would be "late" (or be there exactly at 9, although considering the timing of Phoenix' appearance and April's scream, Maya was late, too) and being there pretty much at the time when Maya was supposed to be there was like ASKING to be found out.

And once again I have pointed out how stupid the AA games are when it comes to criminals...

I don't like Kay Faraday either. I think she's one of the flattest main characters in the series. Ever wonder why she's not in much fanfiction? There's nothing interesting about her and she's borderline Mary-Sue. There's no potential for her. She's just kind of...there.


Heh, heh. That's what she said. Sorry, couldn't resist. :godot:

Woah, so much negativity. It's bad for auras, you guys.

Seriously though, I don't really dislike many characters except for Wocky Kitaki and Naruhobo, and I only have something against the latter because there was absolutely no reason for Phoenix of all people to become so cryptic. I wouldn't have minded him otherwise.

I do think CatMuto brings up a good point regarding Trucy, however. Not only doesn't she seem to mind changing 'daddies' in the blink of an eye, but when one of them ends up dead she barely reacts. But that doesn't make me dislike her, it just creeps me out.

My least favorite character is Trucy, but for completely different reasons, even though the thing about her not even acknowledging her father's recent death is pretty screwed.

I just found her characterisation to be boring for some reason, and I rolled my eyes so much at Mr. Hat. Apollo was okay funny in his own game, if a little immature sometimes, but Trucy's back and forth with Apollo was bad IMO. Dunno, she's just not a likeable character in my book.

That reminds me of this video.

I agree that Godot was a dick but I didn't hate him. He was a good character and his asshole-ness was just part of his characterization. I don't think anyone was excusing it.


In what terms exactly Godot was a good character? Most fans like him because of his catchy phrases/charisma or tragic ending, but I see few people questioning the coherence of his actions and motivations.

I liked his catchy phrases, his demeanor and his theme.

I went 'oh come on' at his reason for acting like a dick/failed attempt at saving Maya.

I thought that was the general opinion.

I admit that Godot's theme is really neat to listen to, it's a nice jazz-theme.
But I just don't think liking someone's theme is enough to overlook the things about them that I dislike. I still dislike Godot's reason, I hate that he wallows in his misery, his coffee phrases get annoying and I just wanna pour that black like the depths of hell liquid into his visor...
