Phoenix Wright characters eye-colour question.Topic%20Title

Greetings!

This is a rather odd question I suppose, but an important one. I am mostly curious on this because I am intending to make a Chibi-fied UFO Catcher machine style plush of a few Phoenix Wright characters.

In Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney's sprites and official production arts, Phoenix's eye colour is a blackey-brown colour. However in some production arts (on the cover of Justice for All?) Phoenix's eye colour is more of a grey-blue colour. I am just curious to know what colour Phoenix's eyes are supposed to be.

Also, Edgeworth's eye colour. I can only see grey from the production arts and pixels...


Any help on this subject would be muchly appreciated.

Thank you!

From what I know, Naruhodou has brown eyes and Phoenix has blue eyes. So if you're going for the English version, then go with blue. :3

And as for Edgeworth, most of the official art has his eyes grey, yes.

In video games and anime, people RARELY have brown eyes.

No love for us dark eyed people. :(

Well, while I examine through the CR characters page, I can see quite many who has brown eyes.
Let's see *zoomy, zoomy*:
Mareka, Pearl, Lana, Matt, Yuusaku, that b-word, Maggey, Soryuu, Mia...

The people who need some serious love are GREEN-EYED people. Godot Poor us.
There's blue or brown or something totally unnatural but rarely green. Larry

It looks like there is no Pw characters with green eyes.

Blue is overrated. Edgeworth

Eye color is the same as hair colour in the sprites so as to save colours (16 colour limitation on the GBA). I believe they also use skin colour in the eyes, so people with darker skin complexions (e.g. Souryuu) will appear to have brown eyes. (looking at the previous post, Chinami appears to have brown eyes too. I'd assume this is actually dark shade of red used in the hair)

They changed it when they got to 32 color limitation. Ema has bright blue eyes with brown hair, and Gant has glaring green eyes with white/grey hair. Any time they have the same colour as their hair in Case 5/GS4 is purely coincidence, I'd guess.

So for the most part, eye colour = hair colour (or a darker version of the hair colour, e.g. Adrian).


To answer your question, Phoenix has blue eyes in the English art and brown in the Japanese.

Quite right! Green eyes are very rare in anime, but that's because most people find them less intersting (I think so anyway). Blue is less common as is brown. Grey is just so cool! You've now started me looking for characters with green eyes ^_^

What about us Hazel eye-d people? Is there no love for us?

...Actually, now that I think about it, how can you tell if someone's eyes are hazel?

Though Gant's eyes are freaky green.

Well I'm just going with the sprites in the game as canon, but I have to say Phoenix's (and Naruhodou's) eyes are brown. The reason being (other than the fact that they aren't blue) is that Phoeinx's eyes are made from his dark outline/hair (as most characters are).

Characters that don't have brown/dark eyes (by sprites):
Ema - Blue
Gant - Green
Ini - RED
Payne - ?
Regina - Blue
Godot - ?
Keiko - Blue

On that note, why does Ema have blue eyes when she's younger and green when she's older?

are they blue? Black? Hazel? (i've seen in some fan arts)

The change in Phoenix's eye color happened when they changed their character artist from Suekane (who drew them as brown) to Kazuya (who draws them as blue) for Rise From The Ashes and onward.

In GS4 his eyes are kind of blue gray, though... Clearly, new guy is not very consistent (even if I do love his work XD).

There is only one possible way to explain this phenomenon....

Phoenix Wright....wears contacts....of various different colors.

I'm playing Rise from the Ashes right now, and the one thing I keep noticing is that every time a new testimony starts, and Phoenix and Miles glare at each other from across the courtoom, Phoenix's eyes are black (which goes with what rtsmarty and Apeman1813 were saying).

Image

So, even though Phoenix (as opposed to Naruhodou) is supposed to have blue eyes based on the concept art, I always pictured him with really dark eyes (not necessarily brown, just dark).

The only in-game sprites that even suggest blue eyes to me (and having not payed GS3/4 yet, I acknowledge there could be others I haven't seen) are the ones that make up this animation:

Image

And even then I have to lean in and squint a bit to find the blue.
