Not a whole lot of game franchises offer character development that bridges several installments. It’s easy to see why— you don’t want to make it too hard for people joining a franchise late to get up to speed with what happened to its heroes. Sometimes, however, you get a chance to start at the beginning, especially now, thanks to all these re-releases.
That’s how I met Miles Edgeworth. Miles is Ace Attorney’s not-so-secret star because his relationship with protagonist Phoenix Wright supplies much of the game’s narrative backbone. Due to it giving you different cases to solve, I expected Ace Attorney to be a collection of comedic, but ultimately unrelated one-shots. But Miles quickly establishes himself as your ongoing antagonist, and he makes a great anime foil—a fop with the most dramatic fashion sense, a permanent scowl and no time for nonsense.
