I mean,I'm not very good at character rankings,but I'll try. Not counting victims whom we didn't get to meet, and no animals either. Missile isn't going to be on the list,I'm sorry to say.
Best:
1. Miles Edgeworth- Great,very well developed character. Do I really need to say more?
Honourable Mention.Simon Blackquill:A fun prosecutor and definitely more interesting than Klavier,but doesn't get into the top ten for one major reason. His funny lines and presence is diminished by a lot of the boring court dialogue of DD.
2. Phoenix Wright- Kind of underrated,since he's the perfect blank slate protagonist and is even better as Hobo Phoenix. I don't even really mind DD Phoenix. Unfortunately, he drops a bit due to his annoying 3-1 self and not as good as DD (not something you regularly hear me say) SoJ Phoenix.
3. Apollo Justice- Surprise! I actually really like Polly as a protagonist. His quips are more cynical than Phoenix,and he gets bullied a lot. Which makes it way more satisfying to prove stuff in court. Plus, his backstory in SoJ is hilariously contrived yet somehow emotional,so props to that.
4. Simon Keyes/ Sōta Sarushiro- The best AAI2 villain,and the most fun to take down. The reveal is quite surprising,and his true personality is sinister. He even had a tragic backstory that WASN'T forced. Just all around great,and a shining point in the overarching arpeggio that was AAI2's story.
5. Dhurke Sahdmadhi- Just a really good character. His role in the fifth case is great, and the twist is incredible. Plus,he's the reason Apollo's backstory in SoJ is emotionally nice.
6. Sherlock Holmes- The Joint Reasonings are hilarious. That's all I have to say to put him here.
7. Maya Fey- The classic assistant,and the best. Just real fun to be around, and the most innovative. Though her unmemorable role in SoJ brings her down a bit.
8. Trucy Wright- A really fun assistant,second to only Maya. Her cheery personality and attitude pull her up,but her mediocre role in DD bring her down.
9. Kristoph Gavin- An underrated villain. His motive being because of a poker game is false. It's because Zak gave the case to Phoenix instead. Someone whom he thought was far inferior to him. This led to him using the forged evidence on Phoenix,which led to his sheer paranoia and denialist attitude trying to cover everything up. Great villain,even if his confrontation was a bit anticlimactic.
10. Calisto Yew- A surprising feature here, it's because she is by far the best villain of AAI. Really fun to confront and just a good character.
Worst:
1. Nahyuta Sahdmadhi- He's a jackass for 99% of the whole game. That alone brings him down to the worst character ever. I hate,hate,HATE this guy. Ugh. Let's just let it go and move on already. I'm sick of even thinking about this douchebag.
Dishonourable mention. Bonny Young+ Karin Jenson- The reason they're here is because they are by far the least memorable characters in AAI2. Which is a shame,because they have an interesting role. They just...don't do much.
2. Klavier Gavin- Imconsistently portrayed,but they were trying to make him too much like Edgeworth but went overdosed. He sucks,but isn't the worst.
3. Lance Amano- Forgettable,easy to see coming,terrible breakdown. Yawn.
4. Datz Are'bal- When I finished SoJ,I saw that a lot of people were saying that Datz was a better Larry. HAHAHAHAHA. No,Larry actually was good in some cases. He was just miscast in most of his cases. Datz is a bad character in whatever scenario you put him in. Plus,his role is Case 3 sucks. And his stupid timeline which is unexplained also doesn't make any goddamn sense.
5. Joan Garrideb- To avoid DGS spoilers,I'll just say she SUCKS in every way possible. Worst character of her case.
6. Dahlia Hawthorne- Surprise! She's boring as a character,plus she stays in Meeks mode for too long. Not a fun overarching villain. Thankfully,they got it right with Kristoph and Keyes.
7. Quercus Alba- He has a fun confrontation,but he's boring as a character. That's not good for the big bad of the game. Also,his personality before his transformation is nonexistent.
8. Florent L'Belle- Terrible villain,terrible gimmick. Not funny in the slightest.
9. Zinc LaBlanc- Terrible design. Eugh. Plus,he's also rather unmemorable other than falling down. That's not a good thing. Plus,his breakdown is fugly.
10. Ellen Wyatt- Her animations are so darn long. Waste of time, they are. Her character's meh otherwise.
