Interestingly, I might be flamed for this but I do believe that the relationship between Mia and Diego might be just a close friendship rather than a full blown relationship. This is how I see it...

Spoiler: Assuming that you haven't played GS3 or Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations

In the fourth case in Trials and Tribulations, when we are introduced to Mia in her first trial, there was some badgering in between Mia and Diego. At first, I didn't think of it as anything romantic, possibly just a bit of jest between the two as workmates in the trial. Throughout the trial, whenever Diego interrupts to give friendly advice to Mia, I do feel that he has romantic notions to her. However, whenever I put myself in Mia's shoes, I don't feel any kind of emotion that could indicate love from her response. But maybe it was just first impressions that did for me. As I continued on with the trial, I do feel something there but it's not the same combustible love that gets everyone on the bandwagon for. But I suppose that was enough reasoning for this pair to exist. It almost feels like a one-sided love which can end two ways, the girl eventually gets together as all good endings go. The other was where the girl doesn't feel the same for the guy and hence the bad ending. After playing GS1 and GS2, I do feel that there is a third option for Mia/Diego and that's something tragic will happen (which does with Mia's death and Diego's 'death' in many ways) and it is sad but still happy in a way.

The last part where Diego imparts his last advice to her, I felt as if he was more comforting her for the loss than anything else. It's not a comfort to shield her from the shock but more of an encouragement to continue and firm up her resolve. But the loss was sad but fulfilling in a way. I said it in that way as it fulfilled Mia's and Diego's resolve to bring Dahlia to justice which Mia does eventually. We don't know how this relationship pans out during between the end of this trial to Phoenix's trial later on as there is just too much holes and contractions that go with it but I prefer it to see it this way.

Mia and Diego work hard to bring Dahlia to justice. Dahlia poisons Diego and he 'dies' in his own way where he is cut off from the outside world. This puts Mia into a greater determination to see her behind bars for her crimes, not for Diego's sake but possibly for everyone that has been affect by that wench. She gets what she strives for and pays her ultimate price with death at White's hands. Diego recovers but the trauma of Mia's death is very profound on him that his death becomes permanent and he assumes 'Godot' to absolve him of that trauma. He lives but in a way that he constantly tell himself that it would have been alright if he had done this or done this (mainly blame Wright and others for it) even though Mia would have wanted him to keep on living for her sake. It's a tragic tale, almost like a great Shakespearian play but it does fulfil you in a way.

Even though this relationship is somewhat obscure but still popular for a lot of fans, I just don't think it was to be thought that way. But feel free to tear this argument apart if you want...

Wow. I never really thought of it in that way.

I can see how you think about this, and I think your argument is quite solid.

Although, you did seem to leave out the part where Grossberg said that Diego was 'his boyfriend'. (You remember, when he brought Mia a case report in 3-1?)

And it really is how you interpret what happened 'behind the scenes'. Either opinion is 'right', because there isn't a real, definitive answer.

Thanks for your insight, though.

I agree with xfma_addictx, you have solids arguments. However, I think that it wasn't just friendship.
Like she has said, Grossberg states in 3-1 that Diego was Mia's boyfriend and in 3-5, in the last part of the trial, Phoenix says that Godot wanted to protect Maya because he and Mia were lovers. And he doesn't deny it.
By the way, Godot says that he lost the woman he loved, but you said that you can see their relationship as a one-sided romance, so that detail doesn't contradict any part of your theory.

But this is just how I see it and nobody can give a definitive answer to this subject (except the creators of the game, of course. But something tells me that they won't do it xD).

I know that I shouldn't do self-promotion here, but I can't help it. I've made some Diego, Mia and Diego/Mia icons and one wallpaper (with two different versions) and I'd like to share them.

Yeah, after playing and reading the Japanese in GS3, I did find the word that confirms their relationship which was 彼氏 and 彼. So yeah, it does confirm their relationship but I still have doubts which I have outlined above...but yeah, at least this gives the indication...

So much pretty stuff in this thread!!!!!
I'm going to apologize in advance for the large rant to follow.

In reference to the discussion, I agree with Elriel that its impossible to know exactly what was going through creators' minds when they put the game together and it can certainly be read as friendship (actions and motivations are often left extremely vague and open to interpretation), but I do think there was more. Not only does Godot admit that he loved Mia, but she certainly seems to care for him a great deal as well. In 3-1 Mia is driven to catch Dahlia even at the cost of her badge. She thinks something like "What is it worth if I let her get away?" Also, recall that she takes this case last minute despite the fact that she isn't quite caught up on everything and hasn't been in court since Terry's death. Grossberg tells her that he was surprised at her earnest request the previous night but is surprised that she doesn't seem to know the details of the case (all Mia needed to know was about Dahlia's involvement. She was clearly waiting for Dahlia to take the stand) and Mia admits that she needs to do this. I don't doubt that she was partially driven by a desire to protect Phoenix and avenge Terry, but there is clearly something more behind her desperation. She also continues to bring the case back to Diego's poisoning and while that ends up being important, she didn't have to approach the case that way and that point really didn't have to be so vital but Mia makes sure it is a center point of the case. It certainly is a rather round about way to get down to the bottom of things. Also, when Grossberg calls Diego her boyfriend, she makes no effort to correct him and I think she may even fall silent but I'm not positive about that last part.

Also, consider that Maya can't bring herself to name Godot as the killer and in Phoenix's mind he figures out that they are both protecting the other for the same reason which happens to be because they are both important to Mia (and we know Mia spoke alone with Maya before they head back in to court and that she admits that she told her sister everything). Maya is protecting him for more than just trying to help her (particularly considering his actions almost got her killed and did cause her mother's death, but Mia and Maya have always had a close relationship in the game so she chooses to protect the man who her sister cared for so much despite everything he did), but because she wants to help someone so important to her sister just as Godot wanted to protect Maya because Mia loved her so much. At the end, the point comes up again when Phoenix is devastated that he couldn't do more to help the person that cared so much for her, but she is quick to reassure him that he has done well and thanks him for "saving" Diego.

Mia also seems to keep a strange distance between them in the times that they meet as though she was angry at him (and considering how devoted she is to her beliefs, I imagine that she would consider his throwing everything he believed away like that to be an enormous betrayal). The few times they have exchanges in court, she refers to him as "Prosecutor" alone, but she never referred to any other Prosecutor with such distance. Edgeworth and Franziska are called Prosecutor Edgeworth and Prosecutor Von Karma. In those cases, she's being respectful but the fact that she refuses to even speak Diego's new name (she only calls him Diego again at the end of the case when he has taken back his old identity and she thanks Phoenix for "saving" him) seems to speak to her feelings at the time (I also got the feeling she was mocking him a bit in 3-2 and not in a nice way). The people who you care about the most are the ones who can hurt you the most and I will concede that certainly just the fact that she was angry at him proves nothing more than that he was important to her and doesn't automatically define it as romance. The betrayal of a close friend can hurt you just as badly and sometimes worse than that of a lover, but I think when you put all of this together and add in the arguments Elriel gave that you do see romance.

Okay, I got way too into this. Sorry about that. :oops:

As always, there has to be a stunning defence to shut me up completely. Thanks for that Mia as I was getting confused over everything regarding to this pairing. Yes, I still have my doubts as above but I suppose that makes us human as we constantly see everything differently as compared to everyone.

Anyway, after playing GS3 again in Japanese, it seems that the relationship is more deeper than what's presented in the English dubs for Phoenix Wright. There is a point where Grossburg seems to indicate something more than that but I won't type it up here as my keyboard doesn't allow Japanese characters and it'll spoil a few things. But from what I can read and translate, there were a few cases where Mia and Diego went a bit *ahem* out of the league in some areas...

In any case, I hope all this argument just remind us that there are people who view it differently. And I was sort of sick with the people ranting on and on about it too...Just gets on my nerves...

As much as I love arguing in R/L, I suck in shipping debates.

What fun would debates be if we all agreed? :edgy:

One of my favorite things about this game is how open things are to interpretation in the games which leaves us room to play and have spirited discussions. There are very few canon pairings built into the game, so pretty much any ship is going to be based on fan interpretations which differ widely depending on how you read the text and the characters' reactions. That's what makes things interesting.

And Graph, I certainly don't think you suck at shipping debates. I quite enjoyed the debate we had in the Pairing Debate thread.

It seems this pairing inspires quite a bit of "frothing desire from the female masses." I must remember to read these fics. Perhaps they will help me answer Freud's immortal question: "What do women want?" :haykitten:

In the meantime, I'm posting from a relatively uninfluenced point of view--a sort of "pre-fic" opinion, if you will, though Graph has inched me toward the pro-Miego side a bit with Rainfall. Anyway, coming straight out of the games, I was of a neutral but friendly disposition toward it. I'll admit I was a bit irritated to see Diego pop up as Mia's "boyfriend" when I first played 3-1. I was big on Phoenix/Mia at the time. But as I learned more about Diego--and probably more to the point, became the shameles FeenRis shipper I am today--I came to like him and found myself stepping out of his way, so to speak. After all, poor Phoenix had Iris now and Diego seemed like a nice enough guy. So far, I have read roughly three Miego fics: one I liked, one I loved, and one I loathed. Hence the slight positive leaning. We'll see how these fics affect me. :godot:

After talking to my Japanese friend on MSN, when he played Gyakuten Saiban 3, he told me to refer the Japanese wiki on this kanji of 彼氏 when I picked up on it from the Japanese.

http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%BD%BC%E6%B0%8F

Obviously, most of us here can't read it but I would like to direct your attention to first point in the Synonyms part which is the next section of the article...

男の恋人のことを「彼氏」または「彼」、女の恋人のことを「彼女」と呼ぶことは多い。Here the boyfriends is usually commonly referred to as "boyfriend" or "him", girlfriends are usually associated with "her". 現代日本においては最もポピュラーな言い方である。 Japan is the most popular in contemporary words.

* ただし若者の間では直接的な言い方であるとして避けられる傾向があり、「相方（あいかた）」と呼ぶことがある（男女とも）。 But among young people is to be avoided as a direct expression of the trend, "other (how busy)" may call (both men and women). また、反対に親密さを確定的に表現するために、未婚であっても「旦那」（男性）、「嫁」「奥さん」（女性）と呼称することもある。 Also, contrary to determine intimacy to express, even unmarried "sir" (male) and "wife" and "wife" (women) and it is also a designation.

The Japanese gives a direct answer to her relationship with Diego. However, I still don't think so...maybe I should just investigate it further....

Yes, even the one that you loathed.

Okay. Fair enough. In the interest of having mercy on the target of my wrath, however, I will not say for certain here which one I loathed. I do not wish to risk causing unnecessary pain to a fellow forumer. If you must know, you can PM me about it, but promise me you won't leak this to the author. I know how I would feel if someone specifically fingered me that way. Going on...

Exhibit A can be found here.
Exhibit B can be found here.
Exhibit C can be found here.

Remember, if you must inquire, keep my opinion to yourself. :kyouya:

@Graph:

EDIT: Haven't read all of them yet, but I have read the first four Elriel posted. Nice stuff. My opinion of Miego is rising.

I hope the other fics raise your opinion of the pairing more :D.

And here I have more pics (but you may have seen them on the "Cute couples" thread):

Spoiler:

As I posted that first pic, I think this is a good oportunity to also post here the famous Sienna.

Whew...finally caught up. Overall, I like what I see. Miego now officially occupies 3rd place in my pairing hierarchy, tied with Phoenix/Maya. :butzthumbs:

The standings (with some of my own favored blend names):

I. FeenRis ("Phoeris")
II. Miles/Franziska ("Milska")
III. Miego, Phoenix/Maya ("Phoenya")

Milska sounds like a beverage.

"Yeah, can I have a medium Milska, no whip cream?"

And, Greg, you're like me. I ship Feenie with Mia, Maya AND Iris (the latter my favorite).

Pairings: Miego, FeenRis, EdgeyFran, KlavEma, CloTi, Zerith, Vincrecia.

Whoops. Double post.

And, Eriel, I'm not sure that's a Miego pic. The girl in the pink dress looks suspiciously like Maya, even if Mia is being channeled.

Poor Feenie. He goes from lawyer, to manwhore, to hobo, to manwhore again. XD

But then again, what do I know? My friend and I invented the crack pairing of Diego/Redd. *Is brick'd*

The title of the drawing is "Diego and Mia" :D. And yes, Maya is channeling her, but it's a "Miego" fanart, anyway.

>w< *wants to go make a fanfiction of them* Hey...that's a great idea! I'll do that. ^-^

This pairing is uber cute yet tragic. It makes me feel warm inside yet cry at the same time...

I wish there would've been slightly more Diego and Mia stuff. It would've been cool if Grossberg or Mia herself would have told to Phoenix what was going on. Well, I'm happy like this too because we have those nice fanfics \o/

Btw, it was nice to read a debate where participants had real arguments. Usually debates are just foolish babbling by foolish fools, whose foolish minds are thinking foolishly. :franny:

I've just realized that this is the only fan thread without the title "Whatever: adjective or ADJECTIVE?", so if you know a good one, post it and you'll receive an special present :D.

And I bring two more pics and a fanfic!

Spoiler:

The first one is by Nijuuni and the second, by Gefalope

The fic is Just A Sip, It Couldn't Hurt. I read it some weeks ago, but I forgot to post it :gymshoe:

Diego/Mia: Perfect or Perfect?

... Yeah I suck at this. :p I'll be quiet now. To make up for my being stupid, here are a few fan art pics.

I love this pairing so much :o I read a few of the fics on this board and will read the others when I'm not trying to do homework at the same time...maybe I'll eventually contribute with my failing fan art xD
Sorry I'm kind of rambling, but Diego/Mia for the win :D

Miego stuff

The URL has a lot of Miego pics and short stories as well. Too bad it's all in Japanese if you can't read it but the pics is what matters most...

Look for カミチヒものの絵日記絵まとめ <- usually means a daily blog of some sorts OR 神乃木×千尋 <- short stories about MIa/Diego

For the record, I don't either like nor dislike this pairing. I have my reasons why so I will shut up literally..

Awesome~! You do good work, MSOB.

I have to bug my sister to let me use her scanner, 'cause I made some fun lemony fanart of Mia and Diego <3 Does anyone else know decent fics not posted here yet?
