Welcome to the Edgeworth fan base, home of anything and everything Miles Edgeworth. <3

Starting topic -

The sexiness of Edgeworth. What makes it so?

Discuss.

The cravat has always done it for me... :kyouya:

Untaken Fingerprint · Post by **Untaken Fingerprint** » Fri Aug 01, 2008 3:47 pm

His personality I think, his court room charisma! The way he handles everything with finesse! Oh Edgeworth!

....Or his Hair. I really like his hair.

Miss Twister · Post by **Miss Twister** » Fri Aug 01, 2008 3:57 pm

I actually couldn't stand him at first. He was kind of emo in the first game.

Spoiler: Slight 2-3, but not really

I always thought he was handsome, but I couldn't stand his personality. However, by 2-4, his personality had changed for the better. Besides, I've always had a thing for really intelligent men. And he's one of the smartest, if not the smartest, Ace Attorney characters.

And his courtroom charisma. Obviously. :think:

(I love this smiley.)

crouton · Post by **crouton** » Fri Aug 01, 2008 4:42 pm

I definitely agree with the court room charisma. ^_^ And the cravat. Gotta love the cravat. XD (Or jabot, if you want to be picky. XD)

Plus... DAMN the guy is hot!! Even when he's being all pouty or whatever, he's one handsome man. ^_^ And I love it when he gets broken down in court. He doesn't get sweaty, he just looks baffled. I love it. It entertains me so much. ^_^

And even though he may seem cold and stern on the outside, you know that on the inside, he really cares for his friends. He has a good heart. ^_^

Let's see....why do I like Edgeworth.
Well....I've always been attracted to men that are not only intelligent but they are on top of things....you know being all responsible and knowing what their doing. I also enjoy the insults he gives to Phoenix in court. Their all funny. And he's handsome, as well. Plus, I find it funny that he doesn't have any people skills. But I guess smart guys don't have time for that.

Who wouldn't love a character like him?

Nadindi · Post by **Nadindi** » Fri Aug 01, 2008 5:29 pm

Gotta say I agree with all of you so far :edgy:

And it is a bit odd that we are attracted to a bunch of pixels

But if I saw someone like him in the streets I'd just jump right on them! :edgy:

The reasons why ladies love Edgeworth has been well-documented at tvtropes.org. He is what's known as "Estrogen Brigade Bait." http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EstrogenBrigadeBait

WANTED
Hot male character to provide maximum female-oriented Fan Service to satisfy the Estrogen Brigade demographic.

QUALIFICATIONS
-Tragic Back Story to gain sympathy, manifested in emotional and physical scars
-Troubled But Cute demeanor because All Girls Want Bad Boys
-Sexy voice
-Willing to tolerate an Unwanted Harem in your own universe
-Comfortable with doing male-on-male scenes
-Most importantly, look great with your shirt off

After reading this, I thought, "Wow. Capcom really knew what they were doing with this whole Edgeworth thing."

P.S. Seen the new snapshot? Just as I suspected, he does look great with his shirt off.

Sugar-Sugar-Pitch · Post by **Sugar-Sugar-Pitch** » Fri Aug 01, 2008 5:33 pm

I just love him ^_^
He's really cute and you could tell he'd be loving and caring and protective (Not over-protective. You know what I mean.).

And. And and and. The picture here that was linked to on the CR homepage makes me wanna scream in fangirl glee, but my cat would give me that look he always gives me that says "You're insane..."

For some reason, I never 'hated' him like other people did/do. I just never thought he was that bad. Or bad at all, fo that matter.

Oh, and I would so flyingtackleglomp anyone who looks like him. My friend and I agreed we would glomp every Edgeworth cosplayer we see when we go to Anime Expo 2009. If there aren't any cosplayers, we hug the cardboard Edgies. Muahaha XD

Edit - @ Lola : Sorry about that >.< I had already written the part about the picture before you posted. It sounds kind of weird now O.o

Edit again- NOT TO MENTION HE WAS THE FIRST PROSECUTOR TO LOOK GOOD IN PURPLE. Just sayin'.

OMIGOSH! SHIRTLESS EDGY! *screamsandrunsaroundcausingmydogtogivemeedgylooks*

Lolz. EDGY :edgy:

EDIT

Miles Edgeworth, Kristoph Gavin, and Klavier Gavin from the Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney saga. It's even lampshaded in Trials & Tribulations by Edgeworth, when he's surprised to discover that so many women find him attractive. Klavier Gavin knows that the ladies love him and actively embraces his image.

I love Edgey better. Meh. Once again, HE INVENTED PURPLE. XD
He was suprised?
I guess he didn't hear the masses of SQUEEing fangirls every time he was seen in public.

Edit - This video made me lol. Although I am against any pairing involving Edgey, and I don't believe he is gay. MY Edgey. *snuggles Edgey plushie*

Rini Mazaki · Post by **Rini Mazaki** » Fri Aug 01, 2008 5:46 pm

Lol!

I never knew a site all ready spoke about that.
It made me laugh when I was reading it.
But the description does sound like Edgy.

-nosebleed-
Damn....how come I get nosebleeds whenever I see him topless.

I agree, I would glomp anyone that looks like him, dresses like him, ant talks like him (or act in personality wise)
There's no shame in hugging cardboard boxes. :edgy:

LOL!
I guess he ignores them or asks himself: "Who are all these girls cheering for?"

Well he may have heard them squealing but maybe he thought they were after Phoenix or were screaming at his ugliness

Coz he's ever so modest :edgy:

Another point for his modesty :edgy:

Rini Mazaki · Post by **Rini Mazaki** » Fri Aug 01, 2008 5:54 pm

I don't know, but I can't really see Edgeworth categorize himself as ugly.
He does have some pride, right?
If a person who thinks they're ugly....they would start dressing or grooming themselves differently which Edgeworth hasn't done.

But I do agree that he might have thought all the screaming fangirls were after Phoenix or even Gumshoe.
I see him as an oblivious man.
Even if the female character kisses them....I can see him faint or his face will turn red.
I don't know that's just my opinion.

Rini Mazaki · Post by **Rini Mazaki** » Fri Aug 01, 2008 6:32 pm

~~You and I both know that I would totally kidnap him if he ever faints~~.......Totally agree with you on that one. <D
Now, I'm starting to feel sorry for all the Edgeworth cosplayers or look-alikes.
They will be randomly glomped by us fangirls. ^^;

(cosplayer version) : Hmmm... What am I doing dressed up as Ed-
Me: KYAAAAAAAAAAAA! *superflyingtackleglomp~~raep~~*

Rini Mazaki · Post by **Rini Mazaki** » Fri Aug 01, 2008 7:11 pm

LOL! XDDDD
Maybe I should cosplay as Edgy and count the many times I get glomp from other women ~~and men.~~
That would be an interesting experiment. 8D

Prosecutor's Pet · Post by **Prosecutor's Pet** » Fri Aug 01, 2008 9:13 pm

Edgeworth was the guy I loved to hate in AA... until I utterly fell for him of course! I had to wait until he was on trial for murder though, but sshhhhh....
The thing about Edgey is that he's very authentic. He doesn't pretend to be this tortured man with a dark past, he really is tortured. He makes no excuses for what he is and what he stands for. I love that a young gifted man such as him has had to live with the whole "Demon Prosecutor" thing hanging over his head and yet be able to stand proudly in court doing his work. Granted, he probably got a few people locked up or executed that might not have been guilty. They should have hired Diego! I really suspect that Diego was a splendiferous attorney...
Imagine a Diego vs. Miles trial... Now that would be something! Someone should start selling tickets! What can I say, both tall, dark and handsome :javado:

! That latest picture is just yummi.

Then there's his wit and looks of course. Phoenix just doesn't stand a chance against him. Though Edgeworth loses to him all the time, he still remains the cooler character. Tough luck, Wright :karma:

!

I was so thrilled when he appeared in the airport cutscene! He just looked terrific in that coat, and the hair was all perfect and well, we probably all knew he was going to kick some serious attorney butt in the next chapter :edgy:

!

Apparently, Edgeworth does not approve, for whatever reason. I wonder what he's looking at? Oldbag...?

Heh. It's probably Phoenix... beating him in court again. XD

*wonders if she's going to get super-glomped when she goes to Yaoi-con dressed in her Edgeworth cosplay* XD

Totally agree with you on this one. I really didn't start looking into the Phoenix Wright fandom until the second game. Of course, I started with attempting to find every picture I could of Edgeworth (and Maya along with him. I know I'm bad).

I wish they would make a Phoenix Wright anime just so we could hear what his voice would sound like (maybe some hints of a British accent [/swoon]).

Read the sign. You might not get glomped, but if you have a medical bill that needs to be paid, don't go running to the anime expo's management :edgy:

He's just hot.

When I played 1-2 the first time, and his sprite appears, I just immediately thought 'Uh.. he's hot.." I quickly checked the profile to make sure he wasn't old [24, what a relief] but I was afraid he was supposed to be the bad guy and I was lamenting why is it that I'm attracted to the bad guy.

Then we all fall for Edgey's tragic backstory and inspiring overcoming of it. And his dialogue and inner monologue.

Yes. Yes he is. :edgy:

And the whole tragedy idea just make me want to snuggle him more ^///^

Edit - HOLY POTATOES! Edgey's looking at me! 8D

This is from the 'Edgeworth running' thread.

Jean Descole · Post by **Jean Descole** » Sun Aug 03, 2008 4:15 am

Look at him?

I actually found him quite lame looking the first time I saw him. He had the look of a villainous little prick, and to top it off, he dressed like someone who looks like they fell into Prince's closet...and then came out of it.

Hahahahaha.

I've grown rather fond of the cravat, though.

But I'll be honest. For the first game, and most of the second, he just didn't do it for me. Sure, I had a little bit of an interest in him, but only for Phoenix's sake (somewhere around 1-3 I became a :phoenix:

/

shipper...I admit these days I prefer their friendship and partnership more, but still find the pairing sweet). I wanted to help Nick save the guy from conviction in 1-4, and felt bad about his childhood and when he came under fire in 1-5. Later, I felt Nick's pain and anger whenever Edgeworth came up as a topic in 2-2 and 2-3.

:think:

finally caught my eye in 2-4. Sure, I giggled at all the traps he laid out for Phoenix in court, but that just meant he had skills (a good thing, yes). Then he came out of nowhere, looking like someone who was just really amused with life after a year of having "chosen death." I was really impressed with his goal to constantly seek the truth, not just because it was his goal, but because he backed his words with actions. He matured both as a person and in his role as prosecutor after fully embracing what a prosecutor really was. He ended up being a reliable person who often helped his friends when they were in a jam. To some, he might come off as "smug," but I see him as someone who shares his wisdom with people in a time they need it the most, whether they want it or not (haha).

The skills, the intelligence, the looks and the style...those things are just gravy. But I admit he is quite the attractive fellow ~~and I am STILL cleaning up my seat after this OMG~~. And as someone who's also into various tea blends, I don't mind his odd hobbies.

So, uh, yeah. Edgeworth should be synonymous with absolute hotness.

I think it's the bright sunlight that's making Edgeworth's hair look a darker brown.

Why I love Edgeworth................ I don't even freaking know. XD

I started off playing JFA. I had an idea of who Edgeworth was because I had seen PW fanart on DeviantART before I bought the game. I'm not really sure how I felt about him. I don't even remember falling in love with him in 2-4... but I did. XD I liked him after that and when I played AA I still liked the more gloomy version. Especially in 1-4 and 1-5! :D After that I got my best friend to play PW and she became and Edgey fangirl. Eventually we got to the "OMG HE'S HOT!" point. XDDD
