Klavier taking Apollo out on a date, making sure it's the most perfect, expensive and remarkable date ever.

But Apollo is mostly nonchalant, almost bored

The one and only moment he genuinely, really smiles, was when Klavier gave him a little handmade gift. That he was hiding and reluctant to give him the whole time, thinking it was the worst part of the date.

Only bad thing is that Apollo had to justify himself that he did like the date, just didn't notice he wasn't showing it. Because Klavier didn't think that it was cute that the thing he liked the most was the one he made by heart. He planned this whole thing for months just for the man to like the most the one thing he really hated.

Yeah it's all shits and giggles until we remember that Klavier has flaws, including perfectionism, a real bad temper and an excessive need for control and we should not be afraid of it in purpose of the fluff.

Miles found somewhere his father's old coat, or at least one that looks very much like it, deciding to use it during winter.

What he didn't think was that he'd receive a call from Larry, saying Phoenix was dying in the hospital.

Really, he wasn't. But Wright asked for a very strange favour, to wear his badge and defend a client for him. He thought for a moment that he was kidding, but when he actually handed him his badge (alongside a weird green stone), he concluded that the injury was more serious than it looked.

But he was serious. And surprisingly sane.

Incredibly, Miles accepted the request.

He didn't have time to change his clothes, or maybe that's what he told himself not to admit he wanted to wear his father's overcoat while playing the attorney.

And so, he spent Bridge for the Turnabout being the spit image of his late father.

Paul Atishon may not be the worst or most boring culprit, but he's definitely the most confusing one. And what I mean is his whole character is a plot hole

PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure it is at least implied in AA2 that Kurain village is commanded by women. Heck, the most important family in there has only women, the men are at best mentioned.

Also, they derive from a theocratic kingdom whose main goddesses figures are women.

So ig it's safe to assume that men are seen as at least a bit inferior.

And so I wonder: what the fuck was a man trying to do trying to command a village where women command?

"Well, Inga tried to become Khura'in's king!" Valid argument, except I also think this was at best a stupid idea and at worst the same plot hole with a different skin

But fine. We don't have any concrete proof that the village or the kingdom are matriarchies

But if Kurain was commanded by Mayors this whole time... Then the whole Fey lore, one of the main cores of the first trilogy and the main core of the third game feels... A bit stupid?

Like, it makes Morgan's entire character a bit dumb. And I think Morgan is one of the best AA villains. If the main control in Kurain belongs to a type of government, what's the point of her being the master? What's the point of the Master anyway?? People killed and died for what?

Okay, people's faith has its power, and the thing with Morgan could've been out of pride but... Still, I think the idea of a Kurain mayor makes Fey's plot feel a bit bad :(

And finally, I think this case would've been better if they excluded his character, deleted the murder (because honestly this case is already annoyingly long) and put Iris in here.

We would have seen her relationship with her sister and cousin, Pearl and Maya

Iris could be easily in control of things, doing it for Maya, the Master, while she's out training

The "Crystal of Ami Fey" story would feel much more believable. Because it's one of the heads of the Fey clan telling it, not some rando

Now imagine how much fucking worse it was for Klavier in Turnabout Senerade.

Your keys were stolen, your unique guitar was burnt and your show was almost ruined. But fine. You were saved by pure luck and you still have the third act, you're about to declare your love for your crush who actually came in your show.

But then the bitch tells you your song sucks and that he'd rather stay in a messy af dressing room than hear that noisy ass shit and see you from close.

Oh, also. One of your band mates and childhood best friend missed a cue even though you've been rehearsing for probably months.

And for the cherry on top: a man just died.

What do you people think of Nahyuta?

Tbh I found him pretty boring. But from what I know, that's the popular opinion

His personality is somewhat bland, and all of his lore revolves around Dhurke, Amara and Apollo. Barely anything about him. I would dare to say nothing

If Apollo had been the protagonist from the beginning and traveled to Khura'in instead of Phoenix, his arc would be better spread, so we wouldn't need everything compacted in Turnabout Revolution. And then we'd have some space for Nahyuta's lore. For example what he went through between becoming a prosecutor to becoming Ga'ran's "lapdog"? Like okay what happened was Rayfa's situation, but I only felt bad for her, I didn't really care about him.

And again, that's because this is so much more about Rayfa than about him! Nothing's ever about him!

If I can praise one thing about him though, it's his design. Bro's MAJESTIC. I think he's the prettiest prosecutor of the main games and I'm not even kidding

But that's not enough when you lack lore and personality. Which is honestly sad, I really loved SOJ.

Spoilers ahead for AA4!

"Don't you mean spoilers for the whole trilogy??" Well if Klavier actually appeared during AA6 I could say that

First of all, I would like to make a comparison with Edgeworth. Which we'll ignore is a pretty unfair one considering Miles is AA's golden goose (he's my favourite character yet I think he was NOT narratively useful during 6-5 at all. Even 5-5 had a better excuse to put him there 😭)

Klavier is underexplored in his own debut game. I don't think we have anything about his past besides being Kris' brother and he was the prosecutor in the case that made Phoenix go homeless.

Turnabout Senerade is the best we got to explore him, and yet we only got one band member that was the killer, even though we have five in total. We also learn in this case that he has a temper, but that's only for the first day of investigation and a moment in the trial... In the rest of the game he's so nonchalant. Even Nahyuta with his "let go and move on" isn't like that.

He doesn't care his best/childhood friend is being accused of murder

He doesn't care his brother is being accused of murder

He doesn't care that his band broke up!

I think in Kristoph's case is a liiiittle better than with Daryan? But I don't remember much about this in turnabout succession. But I do remember him pressing Vera a lot when it comes to the topic of the 7y ago forged evidence. And I liked that. But in the rest of the case he has very little moments like these

I also wish Apollo and Kristoph had a little more exploring, because aside of Turnabout Trump it feels like Apollo's not affected at all by his mentor?

Bringing up the band thing again… I'm pretty sure Daryan and the other four members were his only friends in an industry/legal world full of self-serving and deceitful people. But nooo... Just the fans cried... Klav's opinions are not important...

Meanwhile, in his debut game, we learn everything about Miles. Honestly, the only thing that lacked in 1-4 was information on how Manfred was as Miles' father figure and what originated his excessive adoration of him. But those are just extra details , with Klavier, we don't have anything

In AA5, he has an apparition in the third case that I honestly thought was the peak of this case. And the information that his mentor just died

Does he care? Again, no. And honestly he's ugly in the 3d model and has the personality of a cabbage

In AA6… he's mentioned. Twice. By Ema's mean nickname and by his profession from Apollo, where he's calling him weird.

Yeah, we do have his gift for Trucy in 6-2, but you'd have to examine it to have any mention of him, so I don't count that since it's not a mandatory dialogue.

Miles appears in both games. And it has several moments and lines. Purely for fan service. I think AA5's was pretty nice and had a good excuse. But in AA6 it was useless.

And comparing him to Miles, in his trilogy he has very important roles in the final cases of the 2nd and 3rd games.

He's properly explored in his debut, is essentially the main part of Phoenix's arc in the second game and has a very important and remarkable moment in the last game.

Klavier barely has anything in his debut and appears less and less as the games go on.

And yk, they had the opportunity to make something in AA6. The Magical Turnabout explores the "industry is shit" thing, poorly, but they do.

Trucy is just a magician. I doubt she has a fifth of Klavier's fame.

He was the perfect character to explore this theme.

If they hadn't completely ignored Trucy in Dual Destinies, made something similar to magical turnabout instead of that THING they called a second case, AA6's second case could've been Klavier with the other gavinners, exploring his own bad traits like the temper and perfectionism, explore how things got after Daryan was sent to jail, how all of the other gavinners were all bad people and... Idk, his agency was shit too?

Apollo and his weird relationship with Khura'in

HEEEEAVY SPOILERS AHEAD FOR AA4, 5 AND 6!!!

I saw a couple of people doing a sketch of what Ace Attorney would be like if the characters taught at Themis Academy instead of being lawyers, and I want to give my two cents

All I have is one drawing but anyway

Here's bratfeen! Kinda! They're younger and more stupid

They're academic rivals and they think they have this cool serious rivalry but honestly they're just gay
