That was foreshadowing
I liked the first episode of FMA redux. Not perfect for an intro, true, but I had more fun watching it than I expected.
The opening sequence is gorgeous, I tell you. And yay for Hohenheim in it!
In other news, anon has enlightened me and I have now discovered I've spent a year roleplaying and developing a "pretty" character with "no personality" all based on my own imagination. Or something.
I'm not saying the characters in Apollo Justice aren't underdeveloped compared to the Phoenix Wright ones, and that their potential wasn't exploited enough in their own game, because they are. But to say there's absolutely nothing in any of them... I get a bit tired of these elitists pissing on them all the time because it's not Phoenix-Maya-Edgeworth. I find the main cast of AJ more likable and adorable than PW's, true, and that makes me this enormous weirdo. But even if I didn't, I'd still see the personality they have. It's not that loud because the game never emphasized in it, but it's there if you open your eyes.
Or maybe I was hallucinating while I played it, since I'm pretty sure my favorite character is Klavier because of his canon personality (that apparently is only in my head!!) Go figure: at the beginning I thought the pretty Gavin was Kristoph and I ended up not liking him nor trying to come up with traits. And I find Klavier attractive later on because of his dorkiness and honesty. I don't fangirl out of shallowness. I... just don't understand these wankers.

Granted, that some characters can get (and sometimes have) interesting character development. I've cried over endings in previous games. They're silly, but they can do serious things well. Apollo Justice was a rushed game where they spent too much time explaining what Phoenix was up to in seven years, so the new main characters didn't get enough screentime to get good development. But to say they have no personalities and we're all hallucinating it...
