Last time I checked,they were German,what were the localization teams thinking?
I know that some red necks that were playing this game would've been like,
"What're these daggum Japs thinkin adding diversity to these daggum vidja games?If I wanted diversity.I wouldn't be living in this hell hole called the south"
At least thats why I think they didn't make them have accents.
It sucks when localizations have to make sacrifices such as these to make the game appeal to the more close minded Americans

And I'm not so sure German accents would've offended many American fans, anyway. Jean Armstrong had a French accent, didn't he? (Except he had no voice clips...)
So... yeah.

XD Good point,and I'm sure he would've offended them for....other reasons
But you're right,Klavier is a beast,so he deserves a voice that makes him sound like one.
On another note,was it even necessary for Kristoph to have a voice clip?
He didn't even defend,if they gave him one,why couldn't they give all the other characters that shouted "Objection" a voice clip?
I would've loved to heard Wocky's

You didn't like Apollo's?
I liked his,it sounded more human and fitting to him than Phoenix's did.
Phoenix's seemed way too over the top and too high pitched,judging from his character,I wouldn't imagine his actual speaking voice to sound anything like that.
Apollo's fit his character and had true emotion.

If anything they had a bit of an English accent, actually, but that would be because, you know, they learned English in Europe. If Kristoph and Klavier have been living in America a good portion of their lives, I wouldn't think it's strange that they sound rather normal.
Even so, Klavier always sounded like he had a bit of an accent to me anyway, but its a bit hard to tell with just one word. After all, no one noticed that Edgeworth had a British accent until his "Take That!".

What does 'Fraulien' mean? (Klavier often says that), 'young girl' or something? In German, 'Frau' is like Mrs I thought.

But Kristoph isn't a German name. Neither is Gavin, it's Irish.
That sort of reasoning makes me think that perhaps they're not actually of German heritage (Though they could certainly be German by appearance) Maybe they simply studied in Germany, like Franziska did?
But honestly, PJ812, I think what you're saying is a bit extreme. I'm sure any lack of a German accident (If indeed the Gavins are deserving of one) was merely an oversight rather than some sort of bizarre attempt to appease certain Xenophobic residents of the southern USA.

Hmm. What about Klavier? I think it could be a German name, thanks to German Composer J.S. Bach and his "Das Wohltemperirte Clavier" (The Well Tempered Clavier.) Then again, I could be looking far too deeply into it.

In the original, they were both from America but still had obviously Japanese names. I think the easiest way to explain it is they had mixed parents - mayber their dad was American but their mother German.
And PJ, your first post was unnecessarily offensive. These are niche games that have included tons of multi-culteral references in the past. There's no reason to think there's some prejudiced motive involved in two fictional characters not having a German accent.
