jfa really is a slog which is so sad because franziska is such an interesting character since she has ties with both edgeworth and manfred, it’s just that her character arc was a bit…snuffed compared to edgeworth’s in the original and then godot in the third game and then even klavier’s whole thing in apollo. jfa gave us our first guilty defendant and that’s about it
Yeah, JFA has some of my favorite characters and scenarios in it. Love Franziska so much, love Pearl. Regina’s wonderful. Hell, I love Shelly DeKiller 🤣But the game is definitely not my favorite.
I honestly think Franziska has her best character bits in games other than JFA– she appears in Trials and Tribulations as Phoenix’s weirdgirl for a bit in the last case and I absolutely think we have some of her best character moments there, outside her interactions with Adrian Andrews which are my other favorite part of her character.
She also shows up in the Investigations games, and I love the idea of her working more and more closely with Interpol as time goes on.
But yeah she is not well served at all by JFA.
