Me: Franziska has done some pretty bad things that she should apologize for. Fans: Oh yeah, makes sense. Me: Edgeworth has also done some pretty bad things that he should apologize for. Fans: Why are you being so mean-spirited!? You need to tag this as bashing!

@@TheMellowFilmmaker You tend to believe Franziska WOULD apologize but Edgeworth wouldn't. Why does she get redemption but he's the same asshole from Turnabout Beginnings?

I'm pretty sure they could if they just paid the people who translated it. It honestly doesn't bother me too much, I just thought it would be funny if they went and changed everyone's names.

I'm sure a big corpo like capcom wouldn't have much trouble finding the disbanded translation team and coming to an agreement that probably wouldn't even cost them anything. But nah. Guess we gotta let go of the names we've known for 10 years so that "Eustace" and its fans can soar. Good thing the french official translators were less wimps and actually kept Courtney's name almost the same in French

@@billy-the-butcher wow. Really meanspirited, aren't you?

@@billy-the-butcher You make it sound so easy. They have to find EVERYONE to make sure they are compensated. If the people they do find end up omitting a team member (either innocently or maliciously) and that team member come out of the woodwork suing Capcom later, the whole exercise would end up an expensive waste of time for Capcom. In comparison, just making their own names up like they've always done in the past ensures they can't be sued no matter what. Capcom is a big corpo, but corpos do not like wasting time and money in court. And whoever in the business got them into the court room (like say a Capcom executive who insisted it be fine to use those fan names) would soon find their employment head on before the axe. EDIT: There is also the whole thing of what happens when they can't make contact with some team members. All it would take is one person not reaching back to Capcom to make Capcom give up on the idea. Because Capcom isn't going to just assume the people they fail to contact for compensation won't turn around and sue them later.

The share codes are in the description so have fun. Also, I didn't make these, they were pulled from Discord. They are new codes because of some nonsense with a recent site update, so I don't know if Sebastian has the new voice.

Yup. That's why this was a joke.

Franziska: Has a unique backstory, has complex trauma, and has a lot of unexplored depth in her personality. Edgeworth: Has the most generic tragic backstory, has the personality of cardboard, and his development usually amounts to "I have a new mentality when it comes to prosecuting." Franziska is basically objectively more interesting than Edgeworth. This is only contestable because the writers tipped the scales in Edgeworth's favor so much.

You're right, but he does fall under the "culprit" category since he tried pinning the death on someone else and was the final witness we faced in the trial.

Him being introverted isn't the problem. There are tons of characters that don't talk a lot that I adore. His problem is that he has a generic backstory, doesn't have a lot of personality when he does talk, and his character growth 90% of the time is "I have this new mentality when it comes to prosecuting." Now I wouldn't mind Edgeworth if he was just the first rival and was used sparingly after that, but no. He's the writer's pet that is shoved down our throats. He's constantly getting attention from the story at the expense of more interesting characters. Though him being boring is better than when he's emotionally abusive.

@@TheMellowFilmmakerOkay, that opinion I can agree with. The bit gets old when you keep recycling them and they don’t move or progress as a character. It’s also the way that they’re handled, and while I haven’t played a lot of Ace Attorney, it sounds like they just ride on the few things they did have for him in the beginning instead of fleshing him out. Like he’s there out of obligation instead of having an actual purpose.
