Even Miles believes Manfred is all that. He is a terrifying image for Miles.

His profile description had changed entirely! Gone is the anything to get a guilty verdict!

Phoenix being old mean. He doesn't even let Miles forget he's similar. Edgeworth here implied something else. Like...forging. and Phoenix just as said it. Phoenix really believed he forged evidence. Sad. AA1 Edgeworth never forged but he prepped his cases and does manipulate cases in a way to win. Where the defense won't get the chance to put doubt. Wrong but remember Miles was in the belief all defendants are guilty.

Manfred's an awful man. Even Miles could not call him mentor. Was Miles not allowed to?

Maya is the MVP for questioning Lotta. He's Mr. Emotionally Constipated. Not that Phoenix is all that different.

you know what's interesting is that it's mentioned at the beginning of turnabout sisters that fey & co. actually makes decent money and can afford things like expensive couches! so it really makes you wonder why phoenix is so strapped for cash later on haha. is he undercharging people? does he never collect on some people's payments? is he simply not taking on enough cases to make ends meet? could be all of those things!

PW:AA Spoilers (1-4)!

one of my favorite things about miles edgeworth is how profoundly human he is. we're led to believe he's abandoned all morals leading up to 1-3. then, his interference gets your client a not guilty verdict and you start thinking there's some good left in him. come 1-4, his facade slips and you glimpse upon how caring he truly is, what with him trying to keep phoenix out of dl-6 (and, as a consequence, away from defending him) + paying maya's bail after she's held in contempt of court.

he subverts every expectation you have about someone who falls under his character archetype. i was especially moved by his dialogue in the detention center.

exhibit A:

Phoenix: Can I ask you about the murder? Edgeworth: Wright. I'll ask you again, just leave me alone. Phoenix: ... Edgeworth: Please try to understand. I'm not doing this to prove I'm tough, or because I look down on you. I just don't want you anywhere near this case. Understand?

exhibit B:

Phoenix: Edgeworth? Edgeworth: It's only been a matter of hours since you last visited. Yet you've made incredible progress in your investigation. I'll admit it, I'm impressed, Wright. You were always single-minded in your work, though. Once you start on something, you always see it through, don't you? Phoenix: About the "DL-6 Incident"... Edgeworth: Right... DL-6. I didn't want you to find out about it. That is why I refused your offer to defend me. I'm sorry if it sounded like I thought you weren't up to the job. I just wanted to keep you away from DL-6.

he's quick to reassure phoenix that this isn't about pride or faith in phoenix's capabilities, though he'd used petty insults to ward phoenix off earlier.

i'm of the (unpopular?) opinion that of phoenix and edgeworth, edgeworth is a far warmer person. it's why i can't quite buy yamazaki's edgeworth in most cases, but that's a topic for a different post i already have drafted.

this also isn't meant to undermine the gravity of edgeworth's mistakes as the "demon prosecutor". it's very likely he put away innocents while burying his past. i do strongly believe the first game (and every game in the first trilogy, really) rounds the characters in a way the second trilogy often couldn't, though, and it's that charm that makes the first trilogy feel timeless.

One day someone is going to hug you so tight that all of your broken pieces will stick back together.

currently incredibly hyped to celebrate my first DL6/Traumatize Edgeworth season as new blood to the Ace Attorney fandom

because after all:

almost Christmas means it wasn’t Christmas

[aro-attorneys]

Happy to announce that my AA1 replay is going great and the need to punch Edgeworth in his face is back

[plasmafrigate]

finally watched the hbomberguy video the ace attorney theme makes me very happy :-)

[mutxnts]

god phoenix is such a dumbass. not only does he bring crucial evidence and presents it to redd white directly to confront him about it, he fucking tells him there's MORE of it back at the office! and he does this alone, without any backup or anything!

this is one of the most frustrating things about phoenix lol bc it's not the only time he does it. i know he does it with mvk but i'm pretty sure he also does it in later games too

[dontmindme2600]

Don’t get me wrong I love all the popular/major characters and have as much brainrot for them as the next aa fan, but I think it’s weird that the side characters who work as the witnesses and your clients and stuff don’t get as much attention…

They make ace attorney an entertaining series JUST as much as the major characters do. Like they’re literally carrying the plot of the game!! I’m not complaining or trying to tell people what they can post about, I just think it’s weird how I’ve seen so little about them lol
