Oh no, I mean Ben and Max. The 30-something guy trying to seduce a child using a puppet. Dude is super skeeze. Bat is, what, 22? That's still creepy, but like, standard age gap creepy rather than overt pedophile creepy.

I didn't take the Trilo bit seriously, Trilo has some of the best animations in the game.

E: Trilo would be a lot cooler if half his screentime weren't devoted to trying to seduce a child while having the arm of a 30+ man up his rear end, is all I'm saying.

I don't know what you guys are going on about, Kudo is a great witness. He gives the single-most accurate and detailed testimony in the series; it's not his fault the case was rigged against him.

2-3 Fair enough. He was probably a kind man once, but the circumstances absolutely broke him. He couldn't forgive the child who herself couldn't process what she had done. I, too, think once he tries to kill her he becomes a cold hearted killer. All this, though, makes him a lot more interesting to me as a character and villian.

Yeah, I do agree, it's specifically the amount of sympathy everyone extends him, saying "he wasn't such a bad guy after all" that gets to me. His circumstances are far less tragic than a lot of culprits who get nowhere near as romantic a denouement.

This actually is a thing that intrigued me because the official translation is "Miles Edgeworth chooses death" which strikes me as odd. Can anyone who knows the Japanese version tell me if I'm correct in assuming it states literally "Miles Edgeworth is dead" that would be better translated "Miles Edgeworth is done"?

specifically it was "Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth chooses death" which yeah we know what we meant but he was hella extra about it. I do also wonder if there was a more elegant/natural translation though

I don't see what's so weird about that line. I thought it was pretty obvious that line was alluding to Edgeworth recommending the death penalty in all of his cases. Yeah it's a rather dramatic turn of phrase but Edgey's whole deal is being dramatic.

Trilo is a doll so he has no rear end, checkmate. I just loved Trilo's animation, I didn't even pay attention the love triangle thing in that case. Also maybe its because they never mentioned Regina's age.

In AA2, the final case, the kidnapper decides to help you out on the day of the trial. By attempting to murder the prosecutor, not sure how he thought this would lead you to win the case. This case already has a murder, a kidnapping, blackmail, hit attempt.

Presumably the case would be handed to a different prosecutor, and since Franziska von Karma is the greatest prosecutor currently in Japanifornia, her replacement would be easier to handle. Who else is even on staff, Winston Payne? Unless Manfred von Karma or Miles Edgeworth were to suddenly return from the dead, you'd be cruisin' to an easy win.

I'm pretty sure that a prosecutor's open cases aren't immediately closed with a guilty verdict, even if the prosecutor dies or is incapacitated under mysterious circumstances. For one thing, all the defendants in jail have pretty solid alibis!

She showed him, reappearing in court within hours, rather than disappearing for weeks like a punk.

Of course, he still won the 'immediately shoot someone else in 'retaliation'' category.

Just remembered how good Edgeworth's theme is, listened to it on youtube then looked at comments. Forgot how YT comments have so many spoilers for these type of games.

AAI1 is the only game in the series I didn't finish. Didn't even get to the last case, I was annoyed to no end in the case before, asked if I should continue and was informed at how it gets worse for the end.

AAI2 I will play some day when I have a huge itch for AA.

The only acknowledgement that it exists was in the ransomware leak, so no, it has not been officially announced. This'll probably be RE4, SF6, that dinosaur game, and the MonHun expansion.
