rating ace attorney investigations 2 localization names, PART 2! Part one can be found HERE
Blaise Debeste --> Excelsius Winner
9/10. I wanna be mad, I really do, but I just can't. Excelsius is super over the top, but I think it's cool as hell. Why'd they give the shittiest character such a metal name-
Jay Elbird --> Rocco Carcerato
8/10! I like it, it fits him and it's fun to say. Plus he does look like a Rocco.
5/10. Calling the bear character Teddy is super obvious and honestly just lazy. Come on now.
9/10, a pretty name that's fitting for a circus elephant.
10/10, they knew better than to change it, no notes.
Sirhan Dogen --> Bodhidharma Kanis
10/10! I was a little apprehensive at first because of how fuckin long that name is, but I did a little research and I actually really like it! They named him after an actual legendary Buddhist monk and managed tasteful dog wordplay, they did him good.
8/10. This is acceptable, I understand the meaning behind the name and it fits well! ..Also it's the same name as a Psychonauts character I love so I'm a little biased.
Patricia Roland --> Fifi Laguarde
7/10. It doesn't roll off the tongue as well, but it fits her and honestly she does act like a Fifi.
Delicia Scones --> Delicia Scone
10/10. They only changed one letter, true perfection.
Jeffrey Master --> Samson Tangaroa.
6/10. Eh...it's not necessarily bad, it just feels very off to me. I get what they were going for though and I appreciate that they put thought into it.
Katherine hall --> Judy Bound
9/10! Not what I expected, but it's a pretty name and it fits her well. I also how he surname Bound can be seen as a nod to how she and Samson are bound together in a way.
Dane Gustavia --> Carmelo Gusto
7/10. It fits him well and rolls off the tongue alright. I don't have anything else to say about it.
Isaac Dover --> Artie Frost
7/10. Very on the nose, but in a way that works well! I think it's fitting.
Pierre Hoquet --> Paul Halique
9/10! It stayed a P name and they moved the que to the surname, I'm happy with this!
Jill Crane --> Rosie Ringer
8/10, it's a pretty name and fits her very well. I also really like the alliteration, it's a fun touch.
Karin Jenson --> Florence Niedler
6.5/10. I get what they were going for, but I don't think it really fits her. She just doesn't look or act like a Florence to me. I like the surname though.
Bonnie Young --> Hilda Hertz
8/10. It's certainly more of an old lady name, but I think it fits pretty well.
John Marsh --> Shaun Fenn
9/10, I like it! They kept the wetland wordplay and I think the name fits him well enough! Plus Shaun is also the Irish variant of John, which is a fun tidbit.
