((giggling. since I have a Patricia Roland / Fifi laguarde ask blog... wondering what would've happened if she missed or didn't have ammo?))

"Knightley, dear... do you mind speaking to me privately for a moment?"

She looked particularly nervous today. Perhaps there was an issue at the prison?

[ *> Horace was looking around for something when she called for him, it had to have been something small as he was looking around under his desk right then. Maybe a certain sheet of paper? ]

[ *> he lifted his head and.. immediately bumped it on the underside of the table! ouch.. ]

“tsk— huh? Oh, yeah sure, what for?”

He doesnt say a word, just stares at Blaise for a good amount of time. Almost seemingly waiting for Blaise to say something.

(i believe in blaise, gant and.mvk as a trio of friends trust its chaos/silly)

"Gant! Is that really you, sonny?"

"It... feels like I haven't seen you in years, *sniff*..."

I really wasn't expecting them to localize aai2 for real. The fan translation is considered treated like it's canon by everyone overseas basically. It's not like they could have named them the fan names even if they wanted to.

Outside of that mixed bag I liked the hd overworld sprites. I appreciate that they gave you the option to play it hd or not. I like hd remasters and all but it's important to give people that option especially because this is the first time aai2 has been released on the west ever.

i'm gonna be so insufferable when aai2 releases officially <3

I've seen a couple posts talking about combining Eustace/Sebastian's fan and official names together as a fun little compromise (which I love!!), and while most of the focus has indeed been on him because of his....interesting choice of surname, I've also seen almost as many posts talking about disliking Ray/Eddie's name change too—mostly due to the lack of subtlety with his new name and the erasure of the sword and shield motif, and wanted to share a compromise my friend and I came up with in case it helps anyone:

Eddie is short for Edmund.

Admittedly "Edmund" isn't a name I'm particularly fond of myself—I definitely prefer the way Raymond sounds and I think it suits his design better, but it shares the same root suffix—and subsequently a similar meaning—to "Raymond", with the ending suffix meaning "protector", and thus brings back some of the subtlety of his fan name. It's also not a perfect homage to the shield aspect, but personally I only recognized "Edgeworth" as being sword related at all after seeing the Japanese name (granted, I'm also dumb) so....make of it what you will ig.

Not a perfect solution (and I don't think I'm the first to come up with this specific idea by any means!), but since the majority of the complaints I've seen are about the meaning and the pun, versus issues with the actual name fitting his design or the sound of it, I figured it may help someone.

I will also agree he doesn't look like an "Edmund", but honestly that's just more of a reason for him to go by Eddie. Lol.

What would you say your favorite thing, genuinely no lies Simon, about knightley was and what was your least favorite thing about him

And just so there’s no cheating: his ‘betrayal’ in the past isn’t a valid option for this question

"Urgh... well, that's unfair."

"Favourite thing about him? ...Probably his loyalty. He'd be ready at my beck and call all because I was his innocent best friend."

"Honestly, it was kind of cute! He was so desperate to get my approval for every little thing.

'Hey, Si, check it out! This tie has a chess pattern on it'."

"All animals are the same at heart. Desperate to be loved, needed, praised..."

"...And as for my least favourite? Urgh, I can't even choose.

Maybe his ego, or that stick up his ass he always has. Or his extreme love for chess, considering it was all he talked about with a stupid about of passion. Or his big, dumb eyes that went soft whenever he saw me, or..."

"...You're all very insistent on reminding me of my death, huh?"
