Who is this lady? Why, it's Kay!

Kay is one girl I think Edgeworth needs to watch out for I mean she kicked him when she was a kid and he was doing AAI-4. And besides I'm on the last Turnabout. Turnabout Ablaze. And I will stop at NOTHING til I finish this one! Well after Work that is.... :yani-fist:

And I will clip the wings of the false Yataergasu! so that Kay can spread her wings and do her job!

Oh man, I didn't mean to start any Kay hate with that thread. ^^; I more wanted to know if I was the only one that felt that way.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion of course. I personally LOVED Maya, Trucy, *and* Ema (though more in AJ than when she was a Maya clone in 1-5), even though I know several people don't like them at all. I really thought I would like Kay too, and was terribly disappointed by how much I disliked her.

Can we all just agree to love Edgeworth instead? Haha.

Well loving Edgey is pretty much a given, but that doesn't mean we can't have a Kay fanclub anyways!

I'm a little appalled they included a 'suspicious' shot of her bending over like that but there's something else that seems off about Kay in that picture...is it concept kay? It looks like something's wrong.

Concept, most likely. She's missing a couple of accessories and her bangs are different.

Well, yes, I should think that the sketches there would make it obvious that its concept art...it's from the off. guidebook.

Matter of taste...and the lack of it if they intended that to be a relatively seductive shot of Kay.

Velotican · Post by **Velotican** » Tue Feb 23, 2010 1:14 am

/facepalm

Folks, it's just an artistic reference of her undergarments for the developers' art department. Notice the complete lack of colour in the rest of that particular image.

I know this is the Internet, but come on guys, common sense? Artists can't suddenly abandon realistic anatomy and clothing just because the angle is awkward - would you prefer a giant black hole? :P

(Also her hair is far too short in that concept art and throws off the entire design.)

justis76 · Post by **justis76** » Tue Feb 23, 2010 1:54 am

Plus I think her eyes are different in the game.
Wait, are we actually whining about game companies subjecting their female characters to suggestive behavior? Um, hello people, these are video games. It's basically how the industry lives.

But enough with the jokes, I'm sure there's a perfectly logical explanation for why they're showing off Kay's awesome pink shorts. Maybe if we could read the caption beside it the drawing would make more sense.
Plus, at least this drawing prevents the creepier fanboys' imaginations from going to far, to say the least.

Well I guess in the way of which they stop the pervs, I guess that's one way of getting the job done, but on the other hand, they might've made the situation worse with that picture. XD
Oh well, it's merely concept art, nothing to get your panties (or in Kay's case, short shorts) in a bunch over.

Yaragorm · Post by **Yaragorm** » Tue Feb 23, 2010 4:21 am

The concept art of Kay actually looks a lot like Pearl.

I can see why they changed the design.

Not at all. I myself wear shorts under my skirts and even inside my jeans. XD

I actually find it weird when characters have no bangs and are left with shiny foreheads (no offense to Apollo or any other characters there). Her bangs are similar to Machi's, though.

Egads.. Sorry if I was being pushy with my opinion too, I was just being a little cheeky when I said I was 'pissing off the haters' :godot:

It just boggled my mind that people seemed to think Kay was a Mary Sue, and I didn't see any reason for that assessment personally :/ Having said that, everyone's free to like or dislike whoever the hell they like. :will:

Now, it could be the color-scheme(hair color, blue, gold and pink, all that jazz), but does anyone else think that, in certain poses and facial expressions, that Kay looks a little like Phoenix? It struck me when I first saw that pose where she juts her chin out from behind her scarf.

x__x It's probably just the color scheme throwing me off, but it's still a little creepy.

(and yes, blue, gold and pink. Nick's lovely pink tie.)

Kay tries breaking into Edgeworth's office to replace his Steel Samurai action figure with one of the Jammin' Ninja, perhaps?

Ha! I loved it when she did that! It makes her look so creeped out and not likely to be stalked for long!

Kay Faraday is to Ace Attorney, as Dawn is to Pokemon for me. Theyre both the third female protagonist from their series who wears a miniskirt! They're both also my favorites!

Spreading your arms (the closest thing "wings" could be a metaphor of are clearly arms) isn't really that "wrong". Maybe it's just the word "spread" :keylady:

IMO the "wrongest" quote of Kay is when she says to Edgeworth "Do that *schwing* thing you always do!" (or however she says it) but I think it appears that way only because I've seen Wayne's World (anyone who's watched it probably knows what I'm talking about :b).

Anyways, Kay is one of my favorite AA characters and most definitely the second best in AAI, right after ol' Miles. I was thinking of writing a fanfic in which he teams up with Phoenix to prove someone innocent but I have a really hard time figuring out how to exactly do this, seeing as how she doesn't appear to have relatives or anyone else who Phoenix could defend.

It seems for me that AA totally shows us the development of a girl-partner character through Maya, Ema, Trucy and Kay. And Kay is like a higher instance of partner being, so to say. Not that I think that others are bad, but every next partner was better than previous in that or other way, that's IMHO.

By the way, Am I the only one who thinks of Michael Faraday when this last name comes up? Or am I just too much in physics and chemistry?
I wonder if they're relatives... Nah, hardly.
