The Central "Jill Valentine" Discussion Topic

Yeah I usually don't buy game soundtrack, since it ends up costing quite a bit but when it comes to Resident Evil I splurge on things. I probably won't get mine till middle of next week, still before I get my actual game though.

I'm glad, and shocked, to see so much positive talk going on in here. Good to see not everyone is just hating on the RE5 storyline for the hell of it. I said it in the spoilers thread, but, I really do think I'm liking the RE5 storyline more and more as I think about it in depth.

I was left with the impression of "That was pretty cool" by the end of the live stream playthrough, but now I think the story was about as perfect as Capcom could have made it. I still have ideas in my head that would have made it better, but the pacing and big events were more or less done quite well.

I'll see how I feel after I get done my first playthrough later tonight. Should be getting my copy from FedEx within the next hour or two.

Can't really believe the number that watched a live stream, but meh. You got me to pre/order, uh, a third copy of RE5, from Play-Asia. Dispatched today from HK, I paid for the fastest shipping, eep. I think I'll keep the Game pre-order for the Chris figurine, but cancel the Amazon one. :3 I'm damn well hoping UPS pull through and get me that copy for tomorrow.

Just so you guys know, it is explained in the game why Jill's hair is blonde. Following her "accident", she was effectively revived, and a side effect was a pigmentation abnormality most in cranial follicles (hair). On top of this, she has a skin eticolation, making her white as shit.

Is this in a game file? At least its a viable explanation although I guess that technically means she did die from the fall? I find that much to be a bit...out there. If you die from a fall like that, you wouldnt even be recogizable as a human and it would be such a mess. I'd still like more info on how they actually brought her back around and what the device was controlling her.

In addition to changing the hair color and her skin color being lighter , another side effect is that it appears to make her look a little younger. In all honesty I am glad they came up with this kind of treatment/way of manipulating Jill. I think a virus similiar to Weskers would of been a permanent change to the character. Im not saying that I prefer her new look more then her old one, but she is still damn hot.

Immediately after the U-8 boss fight, it's on the monitor displaying Jill's face.

For the most part I think they did a good job with Jill. At first I wanted a game with Chris/Jill as partners and I disliked Sheva because of it. I feel though that if that had happened Jill would of seemed like she fell behind Chris in terms of importance so giving Jill a completely unexpected storyline which even improved Chris's character development was a great thing to do.

Her new look doesn't bother me, especially now with a given explanation for it. I can't say that I prefer it but it certainly doesn't do her any harm. The only thing that I dislike is how she had to take a backseat while Sheva helped kill Wesker. I know its been stated many times but it just didn't feel right. I don't really find Shevas hated of Wesker to be geniune and theres no way it could be on the same level as what Jill feels. If anything Jill has more reason to hate him then Chris.
