im sorry MIssvalentine, but i have to agree with all of the statements countr to yours. I like Jill, she is my favourite female, but to say she is the best Re5 character is just fanboyism, in that she is of very little screen time, and of very little development or plot. Its really that simple, i mean she can be your favourite characetr because she's she, but to say she is the best , tehre really is nothing to back that up with except taht you just like her
I agree, it seems as if anything tah tdeosnt take place in Raccoon, 1998, or with Jill as the lead isnt of the Re feel, but its nto a good way to limit your views. You have to be open for interpretation, and too know new things and take joy in the evolution of the series, as long as it can stay just an evolution. ( probably doesnt make sense, lol)
But, Wesker was arguably the best Re 5 character, because beyond the very well done files, not many of the characters have much development. Ill even show it in a character by character manner.
Irving- We find out early on we are looking for him, and that he is a bio-weapons dealer. We later see him in a short cutscene, he has some laughable lines, and we find out he is heading to an oil field. We see him much later, iwalking up some steps in the oil fields. As well, he mocks us from his ship and blows up the oil field. Soon after, his biggest part is a slightly longer cutscene, in which we find out Jill threatened him, and gave him some virus. He has some funny lines, he mutates, and we see a everyone looks down on him ( his biggest development). Thereafter, he mocks us more, says were screwed, and wasnt given the good stuff.
Development: Low, he serevs one purpose really, to become a boss, and be a pawn. No character revealed really, except he is looked down on.
Excella- First appears with wesker, where her tricell position is secured because wesker brought las plagas to her. She comes on to wesker, and shows some hostility to the way she is treated. She also mocks him about concern over chris. She then appears on the computer screen , some cryptic stuff about perhaps some involvemnt in the bsaa on her part, and then mocks us about jill. She is above us when we fight uro 3, and reveals she believes in weskers plan, and not much else. Briefly in the ruins with the 2 vs w. Finally, she was betrayed, and screams weske,r and mutates
Development: A little better then irving, but still very little. Aside from her wantign to be albert's partner, being a head of tricell and involved in the BSAA, she becoems a boss, and little else.
Spencer- ALl of his roles are flashbacks. We find out he was trying to use the progenitor for the evolution of mankind, his ultmite motive. As well, we find out he created the wesker Project, and was trying to become a god by forcing this evolution. Finally, he is very arrogant, and wesker kills him. Not much else to say in the cutscenes.
Development: Very short, but his motives explained. So in truth, very little, but of that little, it was important.
Jill- We find out mroe about jill through chris's eyes then anything, and its not much. Basically, she isnt explaiend at all until later. She joined teh BSAA with Chris, she helped him on missions, they went looking for spencer, they fought wesker, she made took wesker out of the window, and dissappeared, was presmued dead. Much much later, we find out she was birdlady ( Duh?) she has super human abilities, cant control her actions, but knows they are wrong, and this mysterious device is controlling her through weskers cell phone.she also now has blonde hair, and blue eyes. she shows remorse after beating on chris and sheva, and also tells chris to trust her. After, she phones us, she lets us know how to kill wesker, and then is present at the end and hansd the rockets over. She actually has almost no character development.
Development: Very poor, perhaps the worst. She is only revealed to have been mistake to have died, and be controlled, and very vert little more in character development.
Sheva- We find out early she is the one assigned from the west Africa BSAA to help chris on his mission. She speaks swahili. Later, we find out Josh Stone was her mentor. She has some lines here and there, and is curious about Chris and his partner. She can apparently hold her own. Aside from a few lines in cutscenes dedicated to bosses or majini hordes, her only other plot is when they are on the boat, and her past and how umbrella fits into it is revealed. for the most part, her role is then used as odd lines , and little else except helping chris. At one point, she thinks they should cut and run, but then decides to stick with chris, so loyalty is shown.
Development: Not much to speak of. She has a short moment on the boat, but only serevs later to aid chris in battles, adda few encouraging lines, and then finish wesker with a cheezy line.
Wesker: Wesker kicks in when you combine both flashbacks at the estate fight. We find out that he was there at this spencer estate when Chris and jill were looking for Wesker. He Killed spencer ( revealed how later) and gets into a scrap with both chris and Jill. He is taken out the window with Jill, and his body isnt found. Later, we find out he has employed Excella as a sidekick, and is working on a project called uroborous, and wont tolerate delays. Then later, the protagonists first meet him at the ruins, and this is where its revealed he is controlling jill, and he only has seven minutes to play with us. He then says Jill is suffering, and he has work to do. Late,r he has his own flashbacks. He was in 2006, at the spenceer estate, where he finds out he was cmanufactured to be the player he was by Spencer, part of a wesker project, in which none but he survived. He was part of a plan to force evolution upon the world, but all was lost with raccoon. Then, he kills spencer, and takes spencer ideas, to become a god, and decides he will become a god instead. Later, when we fight him, dialogue during thefight reveals alot. At the ship deck, on the speaker, he says that uroborous will be the new dawn, and will force evolution upon the world. Later, we fight him, and he reveals that he seeks not to be king, but regarded as a god, for this act he will commit. He also says he believes tehre is too many people, and only those with superior DNA will survive his genesis. As well, we find out the virus in him is unstable, and that an overdoe of PG67AW will hurt him. On the plane. we find out he seeks to deploy missiles of the virus into the air, ensuring complete global stauration. In the volcano, he shows he is not immune to Uroborous, and turns all black and grimy.
Development: Although in no way perfect or even terrific development, he shows the most. His motives and his origin are revealed, as well as his role with spencer, his ulmiate motive, his roel with jill, his weakness, his unstable virus, and why he thinks he should be a god. the best done, but had much room for improvement.
Chris: Chris reveals early on that he is Part of the BSAA, and that their role is too stop global bio terrorism. He meets, sheva, and it reveals he is haunted by something abotu his last partner. He is looking for Irving. He reveals he was given info that Jill might be in Kijiju somehow, and that he will not stop tell he find her. This formual pervades for a long time, until the boat, where we find out exactly what happened. So he feels regret because jill died that night. Alot of the stry is him looking for jill, his dailogue aimed at that, to the point the antagonists mock him for it. Thne, we find jill, and he tried to get her to come to her sense. Jill time over, andhis jill obsession is traded for wesker. He reveals to sheva who and what wesker was, why they are looking for him. Little else to sya, except at the end, he is sick and tired of weskers bullshit, and that it was all worth fighting for.
Chris was okay, he had some decent time in the spotlight, but often was cornered into the role of mindless action, looking for jill, much of the dialogue aimed at Jill, which is fine for what it is, but doesnt help mov along his character. Aside from the beggining, the boat, and the very end, he suffers as well, and its sad to sya, he was the second best developed
Thats of course, if you dont look at the files, which are well done. But, going by story and cutscenes alone, tahst the jist of what i saw, and thats really all. To me, when you look at it like that, compared to say, MGS 4 or even classic Re games, its not very well done. Even with the files, i still think character per character, what i said stands as the points.
But take it for what you will.
