I think it's great that they change up the character dynamics and stuff, there's no reason to be beholden to those and keep making the same thing over and over again - the art style and character design is just really unpleasant here

I still can't decide how I want to handle 5-4, 5-5, and 6-5 in my case rankings:

- As-is
- Combine 5-4/5-5 and leave 6-5 alone
- Separate 6-5 into two parts and leave 5-4/5-5 alone
- Combine 5-4/5-5 AND separate 6-5 into two parts

There's arguments for all of these!

Only Dahlia and Gumshoe have that many in a single game (Dahlia has 13 in AA3 (assuming you count the ones where she's "Iris", Gumshoe has 9 in AA2)

Shaky guess on 11-30 here. Didn't bother to order these, I'm just guessing who will crack the top 30

Mia Fey
Larry Butz
Winston Payne
Wendy Oldbag
Pearl Fey
Godot
Dahlia Hawthorne
Klavier Gavin
Shi-Long Lang
Calisto Yew
Justine Courtney
Sebastian Debeste
Gregory Edgeworth
Ray Shields
Simon Blackquill
Bobby Fulbright
Rayfa Padma Khura'in
Nahyuta Sahdmadhi
Dhurke Sahdmadhi
Datz Are'bal

I'm probably like, going to be wrong about some of these and some of the top 30 will be a random witness who only appears in one case but just talks a lot anyway (Adrian Andrews maybe since she's also in 3-2. I dunno whatever)

also depends on how you decide to separate Iris and Dahlia, have fun with that!

now that I'm playing E1-4 I'm unsure what to do about stuff you can "check" for extra dialogue, especially stuff you can check in multiple cases, like Edgeworth's badge

I guess I should just count the first instance of it

also I guess I'll combine all the random no-name NPCs in AAI into an "Others" category just so we get a full count

Fun Fact: Mack Rell has 5 lines, Byrne Faraday has 2

Manny Coachen also has a line if I recall correctly

None of these lines are even flashbacks which is the weirdest part

Ema's in AJ a lot more than you might think or remember though. You basically can't get away from her in 4-3, she's damn well near an honorary investigation partner

Haha, I might delve into them just for the heck of it since they're pretty short anyway.

regardless this would only be an estimate anyway because there's a decent chance I miss out on dialogue a bunch

actually I guess I need to save frequently and prepare myself to do a lot of soft resets and whatnot especially if I want to get all the wrong answer dialogue

There's a lot of questions about what does and does not count depending on how thorough you want to be - for instance, flashback textboxes, or textboxes that do not have a name associated but you know who's speaking

Blackquill does talk a lot in his six cases, to the point where I think he probably beats out Pearl, but I doubt he's top ten even so.

I'm kinda skeptical Ema is in the top ten despite all her cases because it feels like she talks way less than the norm for a detective, and her AAI cameos are relatively brief. Have to think Franziska and/or Kay, who are significantly more important in their screentime, push her out.

1-5

Only ten characters have 10+ appearances in the series:

1. Phoenix - 28
2. Judge - 28
3. Gumshoe - 23
4. Edgeworth - 20
5. Maya - 13
6. Apollo - 12
7. Trucy - 12
8. Ema - 12
9. Mia - 10
10. Athena - 10

And Franziska has 9, with Pearl and Kay at 8. I don't know that anyone else is in serious contention for top ten most lines beyond that other than maybe Blackquill just due to how big DD is.

I was going to say "don't forget Larry" but he's actually only got 7. Huh! It feels like more somehow.

I don't think this is clear cut - it may be that I'm overrating how much text he contributes to his appearances, especially the AAI games, but I also think you might be underrating it

he's pretty much bumming around in the entirety of AAI and those are long games

I'd be really shocked if Gumshoe beat Maya. I guess there's AAI to consider but..

I know it seems surprising but actually think about it

None of Gumshoe's appearances are particularly brief. He takes the witness stand SIGNIFICANTLY more frequently than any other character in the series, he's in every case in the original trilogy except 1-1 and 3-1, and he's in every case in both AAI and AAI2 as well, interjecting a *lot* of dialog. Every time you talk to him it's a fairly long conversation, since he's dumping a lot of case details on you, and you almost always see him more than once every time you do see him. He is everywhere in this series. Maya talks more than Gumshoe in the cases she's in, but she's actually in FAR fewer of them, for the reasons I said (so many of the cases in which Maya is important, it's because she's gone).

Actually, yeah, there's a good chance Athena is higher than Mia just because DD and SoJ are so much bigger than the OT games, and many of Mia's appearances are brief.

Yep. Athena probably has the #1 most dialog in AA5 in particular (she's the only character with a major role in all six cases aside from the Judge, believe it or not), and that's a long game. AA6 she's not in nearly as much, but she still gets 6-4 as a player character, 6-2 as a partner, and a lot of dialog in 6-5 as well. That's still a big resume. She's definitely top 10.
