Lotta gets mostly middling results and gets right in the middle. Hammond is our first sub-10 vote and barely makes it above the lowest tier. There was a vote for 1-3 last topic and I also missed someone's vote when scoring 1-3, so everyone from 1-3 gets a noticeable jump in the ratings. Character(s): https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/d/d1fc33fc.png Name: Ema Skye Game Appearances: AA, AJ, AAI, AAI2, SOJ Roles: Assistant, Witness, Detective Profile (Debut): [1-5] High School Junior and self-styled scientific investigator. Client, sister of Lana Skye. Profile (Conclusion): [6-6] A detective with a love of science. She's finally achieved her dream of becoming a forensics investigator. My rating: 8.5/10 Younger Ema is good. She's the first Maya clone, but she is likable enough. Her gimmick goes well with Phoenix and her Edgeworth fanboyism is pretty good too. Defending her on the final trial day is strong. I have no idea what to make of Investigations Ema and I don't think the writers did, either. Older Ema was a bit difficult to take in at first. It felt like a continuation of a joke being played on the AA fans by having the only notable AA return be perpetually gloomy about her life. It's funny and Ema's one of the better AJ characters, but it's also sad. SOJ Ema feels like the right match of optimistic, but still prone to the small, annoying things in life. Fun fact: If you were born in 1989, you would have been the same age as Ema when playing PW1 and when playing SOJ. --- I can't live forever With my head and my heart in the clouds |

Topic | Which Nintendo game do you want a full remake of most? |
Bitto 06/02/24 5:09:52 PM #20 | Sunshine definitely could use it the most. All the other games are at least good and Sunshine has the promise of a good game.
For a mostly 1:1 remake with updated graphics, music, and QOL, the N64 Zeldas seems like the best options. FE4 remake would be good, but it could also be terrible. There's a lot of edges that make that game good that could be sandpapered away. That said, there's some edges that a remake would drastically improve. Like turning doubling innate to the game as opposed to a skill. --- I can't live forever With my head and my heart in the clouds |

Character(s): https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/2/2721af6b.png Name: Lotta Hart Game Appearances: AA, JFA, AAI2 Roles: Witness Profile (Debut): [1-4] Claims to be an investigative photographer.

Answers to the name "Polly". Easy Vote Form: Hart: Hammond: Yogi: Polly: My ratings: Hart: 4.7 Hammond: 1.5 Yogi: 7 Polly: 8 Lotta's fine. She's definitely not bottom tier, but she's a very OK character that shows up a lot, mainly just for photographic evidence. I think we're out of the era where Kansai accent is automatically localized to The South. It just doesn't convey the same attitudes. Hammond's a low-tier victim. He doesn't even have a name pun! Yogi and Polly are great. I liked Yogi's persona as a caretaker for some time and his reveal when he confesses is great. Polly is, of course, one of the most memorable witnesses in the series. --- I can't live forever With my head and my heart in the clouds |

Nichols and Hackins were more middling, with Hackins being rated higher pretty much all the time. Oldbag, Hammer, and Manella all had differing opinions for different reasons. Oldbag can be obnoxious and overused, Hammer is still a victim at the end of the day, and Manella is gross and cringe and sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's terrible. Character(s): https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/6/64be7828.png Name: Manfred von Karma Game Appearances: AA, AAI, AAI2 Roles: Rival, Culprit, [E2-3] Profile (Debut): [1-4] Veteran prosecutor who hasn't lost a case in his 40-year career. Edgeworth's mentor. Profile (Conclusion): [E2-3] The prosecutor in this case. Holds the legend of being undefeated for 25 years. My rating: 9/10. Started the tradition of the special prosecutor for the finale case and no one since has lived up to von Karma's presence in 1-4. He completely commands the courtroom in Trial 1 where it feels like Phoenix truly scrapes by to get another day. He's pretty humorous in his own right, most notably during the Polly cross-examination. And, of course, the whole concept of this useless Metal Detector taking down von Karma is legendary, followed by his breakdown. There's an argument to be made that he's the best villain of the OT. It's unfortunate that he shows up a few times in the Investigations game. He definitely works best the less you see him. --- I can't live forever With my head and my heart in the clouds |

Bonus Question: Have you ever been affected by a celebritys death? In general, celebrity deaths only really hit me when theyre young. Below 50 is sad, below 30 is a tragedy. Mac Miller is probably the one I think about the most since I still listen to his music. The AA scene is very good. It didnt impact me as much as you, but its a really touching and emotional moment for all the reasons you listed. Bonus Question: What trilogy would you say has the best conclusion to its story? I dont think anything beats AA OT, but if I had to give a second answerprobably AA AJ Trilogy, haha. Outside of AA, I guess it would be Toy Story. --- I can't live forever With my head and my heart in the clouds |

White's strong personality and vocabulary is enough to charm voters. Grossberg had some discourse. Some liked him, some disliked him. Most did not like his 3-1 appearance.

Name: Dee Vasquez Game Appearances: AA Roles: Culprit Profile: High-ranking producer at Global Studios. Present on the day of the crime. Easy Vote Form: Powers: Oldbag: Hammer: Nichols: Manella: Hackins: Vasquez: My ratings: Powers: 7.2 Oldbag: 5 Hammer: 6 Nichols: 4.7 Manella: 5.5 Hackins: 6.7 Vasquez: 7.5 Lots of characters to rank! Only L-2 and G2-3 surpasses it. Powers is your first standard defendant and does a great job. A really likable guy who is ultimately honest, but lots of suspicion on him due to Hammer's actions. 2-4 Powers is one of the best returning characters in the series, as his positive qualities is put against Phoenix when he's forced to make Powers look unreliable to keep Engarde safe. It's cruelly ironic and funny and a perfect character for that position. I guess they cooled down on Oldbag after AAI, thankfully. 1-3 Oldbag is really good. She has her faults, but she's empathetic and provides a lot of fun moments in 1-3. Each future appearance brings her down more and more; though, I don't mind her 2-4 appearance as much. Hammer justifies rating victims! He's arguably the most developed character in this case and you understand his character a ton despite never once talking to him. He might be the best pure victim in the series. Nichols certainly exists. Her trading card moment is easily the highlight. She's not bad, at least. What a random cameo in E2-5, alongside Powers. They had to make new sprites for them! I wonder if they had a bigger role in E2-5 that got cut due to how bloated that case is. Manella screams 2005, but you know what, I found him pretty funny back when I played it. Maya's reaction sells it. Hackins is a little annoying, but a wonderful witness. It's a really memorable moment and it all comes across as natural. I'm really shocked he hasn't come back in a future game. There's a lot of ways you could take an adult Hackins! Vasquez is really good. I generally don't liked subdued characters too much, but she plays it so well. --- I can't live forever With my head and my heart in the clouds |

Topic | FFVII: Remake was not as good as the original |
Bitto 05/30/24 7:33:25 PM #4 | Even so, the story was incredibly patchy and someone who hasnt played the original would be incredibly lost. My partner played it with very loose knowledge of FF7 (she knows Cloud, Sephiroth, and the spoiler) and had a really good time with the story and characters. A few things went over her head, but it wasn't really a big deal. I enjoyed the characters for the most part but Cloud came off far too emo while Barrett was much louder than he needed to be. I loved Jessie, Tifa, and Aeris. I know these characters (sans Jessie) were based on the original, but I do think Cloud and Barrett were remade poorly. Agreed on Barret and they fixed this in Rebirth. I thought Cloud's personality was great. Not emo, but closed off, which suits him a lot more than the emo personality he has for most of the 2000s. In any case, I think this is also fixed in Rebirth. --- I can't live forever With my head and my heart in the clouds |

707 (Mystic Messenger) If you can watch a LP, that would give a lot more illumination to his character than a wiki would. It's a dating sim done from the perspective of a group chat, so it should be fairly breezy to go through a route or two. You can do his route and another character's route, since all the characters you didn't choose are still actively involved in their own thing and they all have unique conversations. If possible, I'd recommend you do the original 5 routes, but I get it if you can just do 2. --- I can't live forever With my head and my heart in the clouds |

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.

Topic | Rate the Ace Attorney character: Miles Edgeworth |
Bitto 05/29/24 11:39:44 AM #35 | 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 can't live forever With my head and my heart in the clouds |

Bitto 05/29/24 10:23:08 AM #17 | 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) --- I can't live forever With my head and my heart in the clouds |

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] 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. --- I can't live forever With my head and my heart in the clouds |

You should! It has some rough patches, but I think it's an admirable adaptation. I'd like to get around to it, but I'm really bad at watching any sort of TV show. It's weird. I don't mind playing 30+ hours of games, even visual novels. I love watching movies. But TV shows just exhaust me. --- I can't live forever With my head and my heart in the clouds |

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney 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. --- I can't live forever With my head and my heart in the clouds |

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 Name: Dick Gumshoe Game Appearances: AA, JFA, T&T, AJ, AAI, AAI2 Roles: Detective, Assistant, [E1-4] 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. --- I can't live forever With my head and my heart in the clouds |
