[yearning-hours]

what i love about ace attorney is how natural the character development can be, because the games are played out over such a long in-game time period. in a normal story the character development happens because someone has an epiphany and is forced to change, but in ace attorney the development can happen because you’re just getting older! maya’s not a kid anymore! phoenix isn’t the optimistic, naive art student, miles softens over time because sometimes we do that as we grow older. they’re all adjusting to the real world from who they used to be and they’re growing!! babe that’s real, actual, growth, and growth doesn’t always happen through epiphanies, sometimes it happens through facing the hard truth and sometimes it happens from letting people love you.
