Rules:

  1. Rate each character on a scale from 1 to 10 with 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest. Anything above 10 gets rounded down to a 10, and anything below a 1 gets rounded up to a 1.
  2. Anything beyond one decimal point will be rounded accordingly: .04 and below will be rounded down, .05 and up will be rounded up.
  3. You may grade on any criteria you like.
  4. Consider the character's appearances throughout the entire Ace Attorney series.
  5. You can rate characters from previous topics if you miss a topic.
  6. On a day with multiple characters, clearly label which rating applies to which characters.
  7. On a day with multiple characters, you may skip a character to rate.
  8. Pretty much every character from Ace Attorney will be rated. The schedule will go in chronological game order in the West (with AAI2 being right after AAI just for consistency). When a character debuts and gets a major speaking role, they will show up (so Trucy appearing for a moment in 4-1 doesn't count as a 4-1 character). Major characters get their own day and minor characters are all ranked at once. All extremely minor characters (background, animals, mascots, and jury) will be rated on the final day.
  9. The "roles" listed are: Defense, Rival, Assistant, Detective, Judge, Victim, Defendant, Culprit, Witness, Background, Animal, Mascot, and Jury. Sorry, I'm not pointing out accomplices.

My ratings:

May: 4.7
Grossberg: 2.5
Bellboy: 5.7
White: 6

May's alright. Kinda stereotypical for a series that usually has some sort of unique twist on stereotypical characters.

Grossberg is pure exposition. Very boring character that gets a minor boost from his 3-1 appearance. Though, I did not need to know about his hemorrhoids.

Bellboy is the surprise witness before Polly usurps him a few cases later. I remember being stunned that "wow, we got the nameless bellboy to help us out." Fun character too! I love his random cameos throughout the series.

White's also stereotypical, but a stereotype I tend to enjoy more. His large vocabulary makes me laugh more than it should. I like confronting him, even if he crumbles really, really easily.

The intelligence thing is a factor, but I think there's bigger factors for Investigations. The big one is that the Ace Attorney structure largely relies on the David vs. Goliath feeling. While the unevenness is one part of it, another part of it is the humor that comes with it. As Edgeworth says once, "does the defense bench come with a "kick me" sign on it?" Edgeworth is great when he breaks character once in a while, but if it happens a lot, it just doesn't work as well.

As mentioned, Kay is just not a good assistant for Edgeworth, outside of growing him as a character. Gumshoe could have been, but not the way Gumshoe was written so far. I agree that Ema would have been a solid assistant for Edgeworth...honestly, I'm really surprised they didn't do that. It could have even tied in Ema's new attitude in the AJ games!

I never really played FF7 original, but even if I did, I think it wouldn't have had the exact same impact because I just wasn't as invested in the characters. Voice acting does so much to make a character feel alive and the FFVII characters really benefited from that in the Remake trilogy.

Oh man, I remember strategy guides. I had a ton of those. I was definitely guilty of reading ahead of where I was, too.

For the bonus, I'm sure there's others that came up, but it's most likely (Tales of Symphonia) Zelos's death, which...really has a lot of the same beats as Aerith's death. I just connected way more to Zelos than Aerith, largely due to voice acting but also due to his character resonating with me more at that time of my life. I knew it was coming too because I purposefully picked the Kratos choice on my second playthrough and everything, but the skit afterwards where everyone talks about Zelos with him dead hits hard.

Gumshoe lines up closely with Maya, another OT mainstay. Practically everyone had a positive reception to Gumshoe. However, several also felt that the games did him a disservice, citing his growing incompetence in each game and his lack of screentime in the Investigations games. After today, we'll probably get a wider array of scores, as the main cast is basically done after Edgeworth.

Character(s):

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/9/9fa10c4c.png
Name: Miles Edgeworth
Game Appearances: AA, JFA, T&T, AJ, AAI, AAI2
Roles: Rival, [1-4] Defendant, [3-5, AAI, AAI2] Defense
Profile (Debut): [1-2] A gifted prosecutor, and a ruthless man who'd do anything to get a "guilty" verdict.
Profile (Conclusion): [6-6] The district's chief prosecutor and Phoenix's childhood friend. Used to go head-to-head with Phoenix back in his courtroom days.

My rating: 10/10.

Years ago, Edgeworth would absolutely be my favorite character in all entertainment. He probably still is, but not nearly to the extent back then. I already like Edgeworth's archetype and it's played to perfection in the OT. What's really wild to me is that, with the exception of 1-5, every single case in the OT marks significant development for Edgeworth in some way or form. Outside of that, he's just a really fun character to be with. Despite his personality, he somehow has some of the funniest lines in the series.

Investigations was a little rough, mainly because writing with Edgeworth as the protagonist is so different compared to writing with Phoenix as the protagonist due to their personalities. Investigations 2 does a much better job.

Post-AJ Edgeworth is good too; though, I miss his old Objection voice. I usually really like Kyle Hebert too, but man, his portrayal of Edgeworth is such at odds with my vision of him.

Outer Wilds

HM: Mega Man 2, Metal Gear Solid, Persona 4, Slay the Spire

I replaced Mega Man 2 with SSBM because SSBM was just way more important to me as a kid. It's probably the game I put in the most hours in. On a smaller note, it made me love fighters, love easter eggs and references in crossovers, and just got me really into Nintendo for the rest of my life.

I replaced MGS with PM2 because PM2 literally led to me finding lifelong friends, including my partner.

Phoenix Wright's a lock. Favorite game series and favorite story/characters not just for video games but for all entertainment. Greatly influenced a lot of aspects about me.

I wanted an indie game that really captures how videogames are a truly unique form of entertainment in delivering stories and felt Outer Wilds is the best at capturing that. It's also a sort of game that I feel is best served through smaller devs.

Many felt Maya's the best assistant in the series, with two large parts being that she works really well with Phoenix and that she's more grounded than most other assistants. However, a few felt she can be annoying, ranging from only a few times to most times she's on-screen.

Character(s):

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/3/3dead8ca.png

Game Appearances: AA, JFA, T&T, AJ, AAI, AAI2
Roles: Detective, Assistant, [E1-4] Defendant
Profile (Debut): [1-2] Detective at the local precinct. In charge of the initial investigation.
Profile (Conclusion): [E2-5] Homicide detective at the local precinct. In charge of the initial investigation.

My rating: 10/10.

Gumshoe's great. He could have easily been characterized as too oafish, but 1-3 and 1-4 wisely pivoted him to be more of a friend to Phoenix and Maya, while also wanting to be the best detective he can be for Edgeworth. I always really enjoy when he sticks his neck out for Phoenix's sake, something that no other detective has really done since. I like his relationship with Edgeworth in the Investigation games, even if he's relegated to the side way too often.

Payne would probably be below Sahwit if it wasn't for his appearance in 3-1. Cindy proved difficult for being a victim whose main contribution is a wrong dialogue choice, but many settled with a 2 or a 5. Sahwit does well and many liked his E2-2 appearance.

Character(s):

Profile (Conclusion): [6-6] A practitioner of the Kurain Channeling Technique. Used to take on all sorts of cases alongside Phoenix.

My rating: 9.5/10.

Even though I'm not necessarily a fan of the spunky teenage girl assistant in Ace Attorney, I always really liked Maya. Her chemistry with Phoenix is really great and I don't think a defense/assistant pairing ever quite matched their energy. While I do like investigating, I feel like some of the more memorable moments are the ones where Maya takes an active role in them. I also like her storyline and arc a lot.

It's unfortunate that Maya is excluded in so many cases, but at the same time, I feel like she makes sense for her to be away in all of those cases.

I've been playing Ace Attorney in Spanish to improve my Spanish speaking skills. Unfortunately, everyone keeps their English name (though, "Cinder Block" is changed to Cindy Nero!)

It's funny that Sahwit's first testimony is 10 lines long. That might be the longest testimony outside of Atmey's purposefully long testimony in 3-2.

  2. Anything beyond one decimal point will be rounded accordingly: .04 and below will be rounded down, .05 and up will be rounded up.
  3. You may grade on any criteria you like.
  4. Consider the character's appearances throughout the entire Ace Attorney series.

When a character debuts and gets a major speaking role, they will show up (so Trucy appearing for a moment in 4-1 doesn't count as a 4-1 character). Major characters get their own day and minor characters are all ranked at once. All extremely minor characters (background, animals, mascots, and jury) will be rated on the final day.

Mostly everyone agreed that the Judge is a core part to the Ace Attorney style and that he's a welcome presence. Some wanted him to just judge, some wanted more of him, but he's universally well-liked.

Character(s):

(Reminder: You may skip characters to rate!)

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/6/68970d28.png
Name: Winston Payne
Game Appearances: AA, JFA, T&T, AJ
Roles: Rival
Profile (Debut): [1-1] The prosecutor for the first case. Lacks presence. Generally bad at getting his points across.
Profile (Conclusion): [4-1] The prosecuting attorney. For all his experience, he lacks a certain presence...

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/e/e5fdf3c5.png
Name: Cindy Stone
Game Appearances: AA
Roles: Victim
Profile: The victim in 1-1. A model, she lived in an apartment by herself.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/5/5b5dbea4.png
Name: Frank Sahwit
Game Appearances: AA, AAI2
Roles: Culprit, Witness
Profile (Debut): [1-1] Discovered Ms. Stone's body. Newspaper salesman who saw Larry flee the scene.
Profile (Conclusion): [E2-2] Training to become a pet groomer. Discovered the body. His bracelet is broken.

My Rating:

Payne: 7/10.
Stone: 2/10.
Sahwit: 5/10.

Payne's probably a 4/10 but his 3-1 appearance is so good that it boosts him a lot. They make good use of him such as him beating Tigre in 3-1 and his cameos in the Investigation games.

Stone's a victim. She's not the worst victim. I like that she's not entirely innocent, but not entirely awful.

Sahwit's nothing important, but similar to my thoughts on 1-1, he does a really good job of giving you a taste of what AA could be. He has a really memorable breakdown and it was nostalgic seeing him in E2-2.

Phoenix Wright - 9.7 (27 votes)
Mia Fey - 7.7 (23 votes)
Larry Butz - 5.6 (18 votes)

Larry is a divisive character, with some finding him really enjoyable and others detesting him. Most agree that he peaks in 1-4 and 3-5, where he shows some depth. On the other side of that coin, he becomes a joke in most other appearances and not really a good joke.

Character(s):

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/b/bd7bcc55.png
Name: The Judge
Game Appearances: AA, JFA, T&T, AAI, DD, SOJ
Roles: Judge, Witness
Profile (Debut): [E1-4] Judge in Embassy staff killing case. Testifies no one was in the hallway for a short time.
Profile (Conclusion): [Wiki] The judge of almost every case taken by the Wright Anything Agency for 16+ years.

My rating: 9.5/10.

After a few games with other judges, it's always nice to see the Judge. He's got an easygoing air about him that makes him just as fun as any other Ace Attorney character. He adds a lot of humor, but is serious enough to not be a joke. I'm not sure what he got that other judges don't. Other than his brother, the other judges don't quite hit it like he does. I think they're just too serious. I think part of it is that we just don't have enough time with them either.

But that looked like late-game stuff to me. Like, Kujata and Phoenix beat the fuck out of me

Oh yeah, it's definitely a tough series of fights. If you're interested in the rewards, the big one is the Genji Glove which removes the 9999 damage cap for one character. You also get some unique materia and the other Genji armor, but that Glove seems key for dealing with some of those harder bosses.

I definitely think doing Hard Mode stuff is pretty frustrating, so I definitely wouldn't recommend for everyone. I'm happy with just doing all quests (including protorelic) and doing all global intel.

I want to get the Johnny chest, but it basically requires a plat.

If you want to make battles easier, I'd recommend the following:

  1. Completing the protorelic quest completely. After doing this, fight each region's mini-boss (like the Quetzacoatl) on Hard Mode so you can make use of the rewards from the protorelic.
  2. Getting party level to its highest level, which is doing all sidequests and doing all minigames, including the harder versions of them.
  3. Getting Hard Mode manuscripts on the easier chapters. Most sidequests on Hard Mode have a manuscript too.

3-2 Larry is pretty bad. I don't like Phoenix's interactions with him in 3-2 either. He kinda detests him when I never got that feeling in AA.

Edgeworth/Larry interactions only really work for me in 1-4 and 3-5.

Previous Results:

Phoenix Wright - 9.8 (26 votes)
Mia Fey - 7.7 (22 votes)

Mia was generally liked, but not to the extent to Phoenix. Some disliked her role in solving the issues for Phoenix, especially early on. Others disliked the Fey storyline in general. Most agreed that her T&T appearance greatly enhanced her likability.

Character(s):

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/5/5e6b964f.png
Name: Larry Butz
Game Appearances: AA, T&T, AAI, AAI2, SOJ
Roles: Defendant, Witness
Profile (Debut): [1-1] A friend and former classmate. Also Phoenix's first client. Often the cause of trouble.
Profile (Conclusion): [6-6] An old friend of Phoenix and an aspiring picture book author. As everyone used to say, when something smells, it's usually the Butz.
Aliases: Laurice Deauxnim

My rating: 6/10.

Larry's tough to rate. He peaked in AA and just feels less likable in every appearance since. I like Larry in general. His relationship with Phoenix and Edgeworth is fun and is used really effectively in 1-4 and 3-5. I also like the idea that he's this unpredictable witness for both the defense and prosecution, again best used in 1-4 and 3-5. But he's stuck in amber and never really grows. I feel like they could have taken Larry down two reasonable paths: he keeps getting in trouble but is generally a reliable friend or he finally "makes it" as an artist and matures. They...kinda do both, in that he does have success as an artist, but he's still really immature. The more sketchy parts of Larry where he's hitting on taken women or younger women is also...pretty terrible.
