When I played the first game, I was really surprised that Maya was seventeen. My mom was even more surprised when she played; she thought Maya was eight. Ack

The same thing happened to me in Justice for All with Franziska. She looked like she was around Mia’s age, but then I heard her voice, and thought it sounded really young. Later, when Maya brought up Franziska’s age at the end of the second case, I was just like “… ohhhh! okaythatmakessense.”

Spoiler: Spoilers for 1-3, 2-2, and 2-3
At first, I was really convinced that Regina had killed her father in the third case of PW2. The whole her-dad-killing-the-lion thing was a good motive, but then I realized that they wouldn’t have, like, ummm… like, another, like, ditzy character be the murderer. Ini Mimi

I also thought that Oldbag killed Hammer in PW1-3... I honestly have no idea why. Yuusaku


Were you deceived by any of the PW characters’ appearances?

I do think they made Maya a little too young looking personally. I honestly would've pegged her for being more like 14 with how she was depicted.

The only complaint with Franny I have is no sexy German accent. ;P

Yeah, Franny sounds more British...

Though I like the British accent in her objections Ka-Whip

I was surprised by Maya's age too o.o I thought she was twelve or something with the way she looks/acts.
Franzy's age was told before she appeared, so I wasn't surprised. I thought it made sense for her to seem older than she was so it didn't bother me. I agree though that her voice should have had a sexy German accent xP

I wasn't too suprised by Maya's age. Then again, I watch too much anime with bug-eyed high schoolers.

Though I thought Franziska was a little older than she is.

Honestly, I thought Maya looked exactly right for her age. I think the mystic outift just makes her look younger but only by a year or two.

I thought that maya looked her age, but she just acted a bit immaturely. i guess it comes from watching lots of anime with all those high school girls looking younger than what they really are. that, and i guess maya looks alot younger because puberty wasnt as generous to her as it was with Mia...

Well, Phoenix does say in PW 2, case 2 that Maya is short for her age, maybe that's the reason people think she's younger...

I'm only surprised that about 75% of the characters are in their 20s. I mean, WTF? Would it kill the creators to add a little more variety?

And, Juan Corrdia definitely doesn't look 21 years old. And, a lot of the characters look older than their age (i.e. Gumshoe) or younger than their age (IMO, they should have made Matt 23 years old. Then I would accept his existence as plausible).

Luffy didn't look 17 at first, and he definitely doesn't act his age at times, but that's how old he is. Kaku of CP9 looks young and is 23, but speaks and acts like an old man. Zoro or Sanji don't look like they're 19 at all. Hell, Franky doesn't even look like he's in his 30's.

... So what's my point with all these One Piece references? Looks are deceiving and you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. That's it.

A lot of GS characters have already fooled me into thinking that they're either younger or older based on their physical appearances and their personalities, actually. These include Mayoi, Isao, Chinami, and Minuki. :/

I, for one, wasn't surprised at all at Maya's age... she's depicted perfectly. Franziska looked a lot older, maybe twenty-five or something around that, but when I was corrected, I was nowhere near surprised. Though I hate her English Objection!, it really sucks.

I wasn't surprised because Japnese franchises usually have these kind of teenage characters who acts like babies. *gets shot but evades*

But err... Franziska is another thing, what's the purpose of her being so young? Doesn't feel like there's a canon explanation... Adrian

Yeah, Maya's character design does make her look very young (like the picture where she's holding her hands together), but Franzi looks a lot older. Maybe because Franziska acts older? Who knows.

Yeah, she acts and looks much younger than her age. In JFA when it stated her age I was so confused and shocked, same with Franziska! One old one young I guess :P

Honestly...I guess I'm the only one, but I thought Maya was actually older than she was at first. Maybe that had something to do with me playing JFA, first...but, in case 2-1, she comes off pretty normal, and collected. I just figured she was short. Big deal, you know?

I thought Gumshoe was older than he is, Maya looks about her age in my opinion, though she acts like she is like 6, it's really annoying >.<
In case 4 of JFA Oldbag seems to act like she is about 8 when you are cross examining her, or was it just me? I mean Edgeworth gets her to shut her up by offering her gum >.<

I think the point was to emphasize how much pressure she was under from a young age from her father. Poor Franzy Dx

As for other characters...Juan looks too old and Matt looks too young. I expected Gumshoe to be a few years younger than he was. Lana definitely didn't look 29 to me o.0 Most of the ages are kind of iffy.

Not really.

I always thought that was one of the traits for a overly-hyper

and-I-only-am-a-burden-and-am-useless--but-who-cares-I'm-cute" assistant. But like other people said, perhaps I watch to much anime for my own good (even of half of it is yaoi... O=...) *shrugs*

Franziska did surprise me, though. O_o

About Maya...the looks and haircut, plus lack of make-up lipstic etc, don't help her case.

Consider this...when Maya channels Mia, does Mia look as old as she does in her Normal attire?

She looks like a well grown 18-20 year old, but no way she looks she is in her later 20s.

My mum has her own DS, has played through AA and is playing through JFA just now. And she'll make me lend her T&T when it comes out... She's already bugging me to finish Hotel Dusk so she can play on it.
She also has a better phone than me, we share a Kokeshi Doll collection, and is making me buy another Wii so she can play on it.
My Dad has his own DS (my old one), goes on my Wii all the time, bought Heatseaker yesterday and owns me on Wii Sports. And he likes the Studio Chibli movies and gave me the money to buy the Naruto Unleashed DVD yesterday.
My family's kinda cool, but it's really annoying when they nick my games though. Butz

Anyway, on topic. Yeah, Maya acts young for her age, but that's quite usual for Anime characters. I think what makes her seem so young in JFA is Franziska, who acts much older than her age, and so makes Maya seem young.

Well, I have to say, anime has a tendency to make characters look younger than they are, especially protagonists with larger eyes. But as it's already been stated, Maya has been noted for being small in stature.

Also, if you watch the anime for 'Black Cat' look at Train Heartnet, he looks like a teenager but he's supposedly 23 (the only time h looks his age is in a fangirl dream by Kyoko)

Still... Franzi yelling "obchääääktschn'" would sure sound funny. xP

To topic: I was actually surprised to see that Phoenix is only my age. I mean... 24 and already a top defense attorney? Come on. They should have made him around 30.
