Objection: The Prosecution's Face Is Stupid.
I'm really disconcerted by the fact that occasionally characters in Ace Attorney seem able to hear Phoenix's thoughts. Are the (blue bracketed bits) muttering or whispering, rather than, as I assumed, thinking, or is everyone in this game just psychic?
I was enjoying Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, but I wasn't really interested in Edgeworth and didn't really understand why so many people seemed to 'ship him with Phoenix. That, of course, was before he performed an about-face mid-trial, helped Phoenix's case and then came up to Phoenix afterwards to say 'YOUR PRESENCE SADDLES ME WITH UNNECESSARY FEELINGS, PLEASE GET OUT OF MY FACE FOREVER'.
All right, I'm intrigued. I'm not actually 'shipping them (yet), but I certainly want to know more about Phoenix's relationship with Edgeworth.
(And then I played through the fourth case, and... all right, I can see it. You win, fandom. Although I did at some point stop to write 'Forget Phoenix/Edgeworth; does anyone write Gumshoe/Edgeworth? I think that has more basis (on Gumshoe's side, at least) and would probably also be hilarious.'
Gumshoe is, incidentally, adorable.)
...I've just realised that Miles Edgeworth has Squall Leonhart's hairstyle. THIS IS WEIRD. Squall Leonhart: prosecuting attorney? Perhaps Rinoa is a defence lawyer? Perhaps this is a terrible idea.
I like the relationship between Phoenix and Maya a lot! There's a lot of affection there, which I think quietly sneaks up on Phoenix. He cares a great deal about her, but he doesn't realise how much until the end of the fourth case. The beginning of the fifth case rather warmed my heart, when it became clear that he hadn't been taking on any cases recently. I do like Ema, though.
Speaking of the fifth case (I'm currently on the second day): objection! Your Honour, what do you mean the angle at which the witness saw the crime wasn't relevant? She presented us with a supposed photograph of the crime taken from a completely different angle! The defence demands a retraction of your highly unfair penalty and further demands that you have squirrels installed in your beard as punishment.
Switching to Ghost Trick, a thought that occurred to me: when you first go back in time to save Lynne, you can see yourself manipulating the crossing gate and guitar. You can't get close enough to interact with yourself in that particular case, but would that theoretically be possible? If Sissel happened to be involved in the four minutes before someone's death, and then went back to relive those four minutes, would he be able to converse with himself?
ENTIRELY UNRELATED TO ANYTHING ELSE IN THIS ENTRY: I just came across this gifset of Derren Brown hammering a nail up his nose on tumblr. I don't think I'd realised before quite how intense his expression of sexual ecstasy was during this trick. GET A ROOM, DERREN BROWN AND SHARP OBJECTS.
(Something Wicked This Way Comes was actually the first Derren Brown-related thing I ever saw. That's right: the stage show in which Derren Brown shoves a nail up his nose, asphyxiates himself, asks someone to slap him repeatedly in the face, lies down on broken glass and gets a man to stand on him, all whilst obviously enjoying himself a little too much. I did rather come in at the deep end.)

They just have very good intuition.

I agree with you on Phoenix and Maya. She's good for him storywise, too; with her around to be the dynamic, he can settle back into "vaguely optimistic silly-haired curmudgeon" and play the straight man to the hilt.
There is definitely Edgeworth/Gumshoe out there; I'm not sure where, but I remember agreeing with you and being gratified to find that it existed.

Have I mentioned how much I love how kinda shit Phoenix is? Cos he's really kinda shit for the most part, bless his face. Especially with me involved, when I'm going around showing important evidence to suspicious people XD OOPS.
In other news: that gifset is fucking distracting. Hnnnnnnnngh.

It would never have occurred to me to categorize Derren Brown's expression when driving a nail up his nose as intense sexual ecstasy, because I'm too busy hiding behind my fingers. SHARP THINGS UP THE NOSE MAKE ME CRINGE, OKAY?

On the other hand, Phoenix! He is utterly useless, but adorable because he's useless - I mean, without us in control, he'd have failed a long time ago. Bless his little cottons. And yes - Gant - just wait for Gant. He's a bundle of hilarity (mostly because of HIS FACE).
