Alright, I'm very, very confused of a certain Ace Attorney character. Mia Fey. Yes, her. She is dead, I know that. But which is super confusing is the correct color of the Magatama she wears. In every single Sprites/Fansprites, her magatama color is White!! But according to Ace Attorney Wiki...

Mia Fey's Magatama Color is Blue.


Which makes no friggin' sense! And I mean it! In the Fansprites, they're all White. Even in the Actual Sprites, they're all White. White, white, white. White everywhere! Gah! This is soooo confusing! :nick-sweat:

It might be an extremely pale blue that looks white, but has a blue tint in terms of where the shadows are.

Look at her official art.
Spoiler:

Why it's blue there and white in-game? I dunno.

Probably the Staff thought about it and they didn't liked the blue one (Especially Takami), so they decided to make the White one.

But one thing for sure: Blue in the Art, White in the Sprites. It's... It's Not Fair! :sad-maya:

It's almost as big a mystery as Nick's eye color and Edgey's hair color.

What you mentioned, Bad Player, made me realize a possible explanation. Aside from Nick's eye color changing from brown to blue, Edgey being brunette in color illustrations that are not in-game and Mia's magatama can be explained by the fact that color illustrations are supposed to have as little White and Black as possible.

It's the same reason why black hair is so often portrayed by having purple, blue or even green highlights in color illustrations, same as why white hair might be depicted as having blue tinted shadows or being a platinum blond color.
Avoid White and Black themselves as much as possible.

More confusing colour is Ema's eye colour. I mean, it wasn't even consistent in the one case she was in, and then in all her proceeding games, it was a different colour altogether, EACH TIME! She had the loveliest blue eyes, but NOPE!

In Rise from the ashes, she had Blue Eyes, but in AJ? Well, she had teal eyes. This contradicts reality. I mean. Did you ever heard of any people whom's eyes can change colors?! I don't think so, and besides, I doubt that person exists too. The Eye color should've been the same.

(I wonder what's going to happen to :lana: ?)

I was told about this by someone studying art, but that's a year or two ago already, so I'm not sure. I think it has to do with having black and white, such solidary colors that are either called "too much" or "lack of" color, in an illustration would cause it to look... unfinished, I think. Or just stand out too much. Similar reason why gray is generally not used, shadows are generally given some kind of touch of color into it like blue, green, purple and such, even if it's just a little dash of it.

Quote:

A) whose eyes!
B) I sometimes seem to have more gray in my eyes than green at times. Can't tell you why, just sometimes my eye color doesn't seem to be as tight as it should be.
C) I dunno, maybe Ema turning into a bitter woman who refuses to re-take a test to get a job she wants and instead chooses to just bitch about it caused her eye color to change

Technically, Nick is special. It doesn't matter as much whether his eyes are brown or blue in terms of artistic perspectives. What does change, however, are the implications behind his ethnicity. It's not impossible for an East Asian person to have blue or green eyes, but aside from mixed blood, the chances are incredibly slim - almost as if they'd seem like mutations when they actually aren't.

Or... we could all just be over-thinking things and instead say that Nick just likes colored contact lenses. And Edgeworth thinks white/gray hair makes him look cooler (or maybe it's due to stress). And Mia and Pearl exchanged magatama for whatever reason. Or maybe Nick is related to birds and sees light in a tint.

My bet is technology limitations; nothing else makes sense to me. I noticed back when I made custom sprites more frequently that some colors were recycled in odd ways. For example, part of a character's outfit might be the exact same color as part of his/her hair. This first occurred to me when I snatched a look at Lana's official artwork when working on a custom full-body sprite for her. In the artwork, her eyes are blue with a slight hint of green (teal in the Ace Attorney Wiki's words). In the games, however, they are brown.

While we're talking about confusing colors, I'm the only one who thinks that Franziska's hair is actually more light blue than it is silver?

i'm willing to bet it's just the artists forgetting/overlooking minor continuities

just consider the colours to be whatever the most recent official artwork depicts them as, it's not really a big deal

Yeah but its funnier to argue about it,I don't think anyone here seriously thinks of it as a big deal unlike the dress argument which is going to star World War III one of these days.

Sorry if I bumped the thread, but the another confusing thing on Ace Attorney is a few pairings. For example, the Wocky/Pearl one. I mean, what's the deal between a 21/18/Whatever year old obnoxious gangster and a 16/17 years old Spirit Medium? Seriously? I honestly can't follow these sort of joke pairing some people talking about.

Same reason people ship RefillxKratos from Symphonia, PhoenixxPearl from this series or even LukexTear from Tales of the Abyss. It doesn't make sense because there's no decent basis for anything to happen. Don't question it, it's probably something you won't understand.

Well, I'd say that it's just what they are - jokes, as you said. Nothing logical, nothing to take seriously.

The pairing is a joke , you say? But some people uses these "joke" pairings in their fancases, fanfictions, etc... Or is that another part of humor? :texasman:

Now, I don't do that, so I can't speak for anyone, but I think it seems plausible. People having some fun. Perhaps they find a certain pairing sweet or funny and just go with it even though they know it isn't logical.

But why would a nice girl with polite manners would fall for an almost-rude gangster with a few manners? I wonder...

It doesn't make sense to me either, I'm just thinking that's one possible justifcation the shippers might use. Either that, or it's a "Pair The Spares" thing, seeing as how he's one of the few male characters close to her age (Cody Hackins not withstanding).

Maybe she thinks that she can change him. The good girl-bad boy thing is the plot of so many movies that is even a cliché.

Never forget that when it comes to shipping the question is not 'why?', but rather 'why not?'

Considering Pearl's personality, I have the feeling she wouldn't even like Wocky to begin with cause he's the son of "mean people", even if they're trying to gain a better reputation by giving up their previous ways. Also, that whole thing with Wocky having a bullet in his heart and stuff.

I'm surprised it didn't happen faster. One of the first thoughts that came to mind when I saw this thread was how awesome it'd be if Phoenix Wright and Ryuichi Naruhodo were two different people.

Then, came the shameless NickNaru shipping.
