I don't know how much of a hot take this is but I think Courtney Sithe has the best female character design in the entire franchise. . . She's one of the few female characters that isn't wearing a dress, is extremely tall (her model is almost the same height as Stronghart/Vortex who is 6'5") and is just. Her design is so awesome
and on that note, I think Kazuya Nuri is probably the best character designer/art director that the Ace Attorney series has seen. The only trilogy thing he worked on was Rise From the Ashes so he's responsible for Lana and Ema, and from then on he worked on Apollo Justice, PL v PW and then TGAA1 and 2. Imo he's made the best designs in the franchise and has some of the best art too
