(The Links in the Letter) -- Strong Language Warning in the first one

Dear James CyberLink,

Great! Here’s the original letter, everyone:

And since it was your idea...

Dear James CyberLink,

Well said. You don’t have to be famous or save lives to be a hero, do you?

That video didn’t make me cry, but I sure felt some warmth while I was watching it. It takes a special kind of person to save so many lives and keep quiet about it.

-Phoenix Wright

Dear James CyberLink,

Whoa... I sure wasn’t expecting that sort of thing. That’s some high-class embarrassment, all right.

But, hey, at least you learned something from it. It’s weird how even moments like that one can have a positive outcome.

-Maya Fey

Dear James CyberLink,

I agree that those are all important laws. As any student in America could tell you, checks and balances are a fundamental part of any democratic government. The law gets a bit messier when it comes to the internet and personal data, but it's no less crucial to maintain there as well.

I’d imagine the same to be true for drinking laws. Without a breathalyzer, a bartender may have trouble distinguishing a drunk individual from a sober individual who simply acts the same way.

-Miles Edgeworth

Dear James CyberLink,

A Build-A-Bear workshop for computers? That’d sounds like it’d be fun! I live in a rural area too, so I’d love to learn more about how to use them.

But...where would you put the stuffed heart after you’ve finished building one?

-Pearl Fey

Dear James CyberLink,

Yeah, I’m just going to sit this one out, if that’s okay. Good answer, though.

-Apollo Justice

Dear James CyberLink,

It’s okay to be unsure about your personality. People have been known to change from one to another several times before they settle on one. It’s not uncommon for them to fit into more than one either. It’s still not an exact science.

That doesn’t mean it’s bunk, though! If you ever meet Adam, you can tell him he’s a J-E-R-K type!

-Athena Cykes

Dear James CyberLink,

You recognize genius when you see it, don’t you? We can thank the scientific method for helping us save lives, develop as a society, and learn things we never would’ve thought possible. I use it in everything I do, from analyzing fingerprints to buying snacks.

-Ema Skye

Dear James CyberLink,

You’re not supposed to find out how they work! That takes away the whole experience of seeing impossible things happening right before your eyes! That’s the whole point of illusion!

You’re welcome to try and figure out how my tricks work, though. Don’t blame me if you start getting dizzy from all the spinning your head does!

-Trucy Wright

Dear rogertheegg,

To me, the difference made by a gender swap would depend on the character. For some, there’d be hardly any difference (Pearl would be just as adorable, the judge would look and sound just as authoritative, and even some of the main characters would be practically the same), but for others it’d change quite a few things about them (Laura Butz would likely be hitting on guys instead of girls, Mason Fey would have a completely different role in his family, Frederick von Karma would be intimidating in a completely different way, and so on). And let’s not even get into Marlene Grossberg.

No, really. Let’s not.

Dear gunmaxx,

Thanks a bunch! Lately I’ve been afraid I might be losing my edge, so I’m very happy (and relieved) to hear you’re enjoying this blog. Coming up with new letter responses every day and trying to keep them accurate is a challenge, but the sheer personality in Ace Attorney’s diverse cast of characters makes it a lot easier than it would be for, say, a Mario, Sonic the Hedgehog, or Kirby blog. (Would that last one even be possible?) It’s still a challenge, though, so thank you for sharing your appreciation!

Also, no need to worry about spamming. As long as you aren’t sending five or more letters every day, we’ll be happy to answer them.

Dear starry-nightengale,

The only real difference between them is that one is the real “champion of justice,” and the other just acts like him. If someone writes to Bobby Fulbright without stating whether it’s to the real one or the Phantom disguised as him, I usually answer it as the Phantom. The games don’t give us much information about what the real one was like, so it’s probably safe to assume the Phantom’s personality is an almost perfect copy of his.

Dear Fulbright,

First let me just say that I’d be giving you a high-five right now if I could. It’s a breath of fresh air to hear some words of encouragement about the controversies that have crept into this blog more often than we (and I imagine you all) would like to see. I do my best not to let those stress me out too much, but there are times when they do, so thank you for being understanding about it. That’s an attitude we can all use more of.

There aren’t very many characters I like but dislike answering as, or vice versa, but I guess one example of that would be Apollo. He’s a nice guy and a great character, but he doesn’t seem to have the same goofy sense of humor as Phoenix, Trucy, and Athena -- in fact, probably the funniest thing he does is to get fed up with their jokes. I do enjoy answering as him, but I think he takes himself a little too seriously most of the time.

A good example of a character I’m not fond of but enjoy answering is, oddly enough, Dahlia. As much as the cut of her jib sickens me, it’s interesting to think of how she might try to out-clever people who get sassy with her (as I have many times before) or come up with a twisted rationalization of her sadistic actions and thoughts. Not to mention I sort of like the creativity in her haiku.

(Sort of.)

Lastly, while submitters are under no obligation to keep away from any specific topic, they are advised to keep in mind that, as our Submission Guidelines page states, letters that include hot-button topics will be less likely to get an answer. How much less likely depends on the topic, but if the risk of hurting feelings is too high, they’ll be deleted.

Dear Mothmouth,

That happens to the best proofreaders out there. Thanks for clarifying, though (and for expressing your frustration in a family-friendly way).

Dear Mothmouth again,

This is sort of embarrassing, but...I actually didn’t know quite how to do that until the Modthorne gave me some help. Here you go.

Dear Guquis,

No one’s made that joke here as far as I can tell, but it has been done before. (Epilepsy Warning)

Dear idk,

Really? That’s a shame. A moment of silence, everyone.

Thanks for letting us know. I've been neglecting to check on the status of blogs we have links to, so I’ve got some “summer cleaning” to do.

On that note, if you have an active ask blog you’d like us to add a link to, feel free to give us a shout! It’s been a long time since we’ve added any.

Dear naitomeruu,

Sorry to break it to you, but it looks like that’s already been confirmed. If we’re lucky, maybe they’ll release a version for 3DS as well, but if not, I guess I’ll be making a quick dash to the nearest GameStop for a Switch. I still think the Wii U didn’t get a fair chance, but I’ll do it for the blog’s sake!

Dear gunmaxx,

No need to worry about that. That’s happened a lot before, and the same question being asked by different submitters happens a lot, too. If any of your letters don’t get an answer within 5 months (assuming you remember when you sent them), feel free to ask us why, and we’ll see if we can figure out what happened.

Dear naitomeruu,

Me too, pal, me too.

There’s always a possibility that they’ll create a version for the 3DS as well, but if not, it looks I’m getting me a Switch. I sure never thought I’d be forced into buying the latest Nintendo console, but hey, why complain over a new toy?

Frankly, though, I’m just itching to see what it looks like. Give us some previews already, Capcom!

Dear CreatorOfSinyove,

I’m not sure what you mean by the word “unique.” Is it referring to the letters that have a unique sender name, the ones where one of us moderators added our own commentary in a tag, or something different? Please forgive me if it’s something obvious and I’m just overlooking it.

Dear S.G.,

Well, if we can go on a hiatus, I guess you can, too. Have fun!

Dear Inferno,

I wouldn’t tempt fate if I were you, but that’s a good point.

The operative word being “yet.”

-The Co-Mod

P.S. There have been a couple requests for character essays, so I’ll hopefully have them posted before much longer. Just thought you should know.
