Man I'm really pumped for this. I remember when I played PW:AA and the first thing I thought about Edgeworth was "oh shit i'm going to die i'm already going against him" and "god damn he is an asshole." Eventually he became one of the most badass characters in existence.
I didn't like JFA very much until the last case, which, in my opinion, is the best case in the whole series. Trials and Tribulations was the most well-crafted, though, and I'm glad that this game won't be set in Apollo Justice's time. I loathed AJ because everyone was generally a weakling and it didn't make sense that Phoenix LOSES HIS BADGE over some stupid shit like USING FORGED EVIDENCE when all the goddamn prosecutors have used forged evidence without so much a penalty in the game. Man AJ was terrible.
