Why does she suddenly have Maya's hair colour?

Because Maya is the one channeling here spirit! Ergo, she looks kinda like a combo of Mia and Maya.

*sigh* ninja-ed while I was typing this, but I'm gonna post it anyway.
EDIT: Okay, fair point about appearing to have her own body and face yet not hair, in which case the answer is something along the lines of "that's how they decided to make this design look, don't ask me why". Though perhaps thought thought having Mia's normal hair colour would somehow make it too much of a discrepancy from Maya's look? Your guess is as good as mine there.

It'd be a bit lame for this series with it's love of wild character design to just have Mia talking through Maya.

Uhh.... but isn't that exactly what's happening? Would you mind elaborating on what exactly you mean by this? My guess is that you think "just having Mia talking through Maya" would essentially just completely look like Mia in Maya's outfit, whereas retaining Maya's hair colour makes the design a little different from that, and therefore less boring/more interesting? Something along those lines?

What I meant is just having Mia talk through Maya without any visual changes.

In that case, what exactly does that have to do with this?

Kopijeger posted:

Having the clothing and hairstyle of Maya makes sense. Appearing to have her own body and face yet having Maya's hair colour much less so.

This guy meant that having Mia's body and face yet not hair colour was weird, not that she should have looked entirely like normal Mia or Maya.

I like how Maya apparently likes to eat a lot and yet shows no sign of it, that's how you know someone's an anime (or a RPG character). Also,rattlesnake milking exhibition!? what? Why is that a thing?

I remember a little while ago there was something of a brouhaha because someone who was being groomed to take over as one of the keepers of the Coca-Cola recipe released it...only for it to turn out that it was a fake recipe to test if he'd actually keep the secret or not.

This is equal parts hilarious (how the recipe was fake) and depressing (they were seriously grooming someone to be a holder of their "super secret recipe")

And now I want an in-game trail about something like this: "It was YOU who released the recipe for Colonel Sanders secret sauce!"

Hmmm... My guess is that the man shot himself in front of Edgeworth as an extreme way of framing him. Why he would go to such an extreme I don't know, but it would probably be related to how Edgeworth "always get's a guilty verdict". Like, Edgeworth got a family member into jail/executed or something.

I suspect that's the main actual purpose of the law, tell people they can't shoot bigfoot, and they're less likely to accidently shoot innocents who they think are bigfoot. Then again I'm british not american, so perhaps the USA is just crazy.

Nope! We don't! Keep in mind that they're the prototypes in role only, not character. I believe the Maya prototype was supposed to be a robot.

So, "prototype Mia" would have been some wise defender of the weak type (That's the only way I can link that look to being a defence attorney), and "prototype gumshoe" would have been a sexy (and almost certainly therefore more capable) detective? Now I kinda want to see that world, if only for how it would contrast with what we actually have.

It would appear the Defendant's stand and the Witness stand have the same graphic. This makes it look like Lana and Marshall are somehow standing in the same location, and talking to each other. Has this happend before, or is this the first time a witness has talked to the defendant like this? (barring that time when Phoenix was the defendant.)

It hasn't happened before, but it's not the last time it happens in the series. The witness stand is basically the go-to place for anyone who's not the defense, prosecution, or judge to deliver lines.

Presumably, they have 2 different, but identical stands for the defendant and the witness. With one of those stand being invisible in the "can see most of the court" (the one from behind the stand) picture. Unless anyone else has any other theories?
