#3. it didnt take the entire game to characterize him. like im sure nahyuta's backstory is gonna fix all the lack of characterization

the way that nahyuta from a purely aesthetic perspective should be exactly the kind of character i go for but hes so goddamn annoying that it put me off him immediately....

#feminine man. long hair. earrings. even his outfit is not horrible if you ignore the weird floating scarf #unfortunately hes annoying and he went too long with no backstory whatsoever #like i wont pretend that i didnt initially dislike klavier as well but i think the difference is that #1. the game actively shows us parts of his personality that arent fucking insufferable when we talk to him outside of court #2. his backstory was so heavily hinted at from the very beginning of the game so i was way more engaged with it than with nahyuta's #3. it didnt take the entire game to characterize him. like im sure nahyuta's backstory is gonna fix all the lack of characterization #but currently i am 4 cases into the 5-case game and all i know about him is that hes fucking mean and he is apollo's adopted brother. #and i only know he's apollos brother from the photograph. theyve had maybe one interaction directly and it was almost completely forgettable #i think simon had partially the same problem with a lack of characterization until the final case of the game but at least he had the whole #convicted murderer thing to keep the player engaged #like you could tell what the payoff was going to be with him yeah but it gave you something to wonder about thru the filler cases #THATS ANOTHER THING ACTUALLY. soj drops the bombshell that nahyuta and apollo r siblings in rite and then #storyteller is an athena case. which dont get me wrong i love athena and she deserved her own case but it kinda lessens the impact of the #reveal. if we were to cut back to apollo and nahyuta having at each other in court with the player having that new information it might be #more engaging because like. you'd view the relationship in a new light. you'd be trying to piece together what happened to them. #but instead we cut to him being rude to athena and blackquill having to save her ass because capcom hates women #oh my god these tags got so long im sorry. this is a long winded way of saying i dont like nahyuta but i really want to :// #aa liveblog #soj spoilers #<< in tags lol
