my take on the localised names thing is that eustace winner is actually a better name, it clearly shows his obsession with being the best while also showing hes a loser, and the name that should be getting hate but doesnt because its established since the first game is miles edgeworth. its completely random and the only part they managed to keep was 'edge' as in swords have edges which is a bit pathetic when you think about it

#like to be fair i dont really know how relevent the kanji are meant to be for the character #phoenix has then kanji for walk and hall in his name #though thats cause its the sound thats the pun #lile overall i dont get the nuances of almost any #and i do think generally this is something the translation did well in like phoenix wright is a really good choice #but i really dont get it with edgeworth other than being the established name of the character it doesnt really even suit him?#wonder if the first name is literally just to keep the mi like what else does it do #i suppose edgeworth sounds like a bit posh but not really like the meaning of the kanji at all #though yeah maybe thats cause its not the impression that name would make? really dont know but id think 御 wouldnt be too complicated #i dunno i also personally think that eustace winner actually sounds good as a name #and that miles edgeworth sounds slightly stupid #i dont hate it or anything but i still reckon thats probably controversial #ace attorney
