Hi, hopefully this will be a short one, but I've been thinking about DLC for RE5, and wondering what I think would be awesome. The first thing that popped into my head was an option to make the campaign take place at night, since darkness would make many of the decent scares into terrifying ones. But, as usual, that's not really the thing I'd like to focus on.

I wanna talk about integrating Jill.

Jill Valentine Is my favorite RE heroine. While Rebecca was my FIRST (I played RE0 first, silly me) Jill manages to surpass her because, while Becky is certainly cool and the "cute" one, Jill is the one who kicks the most butt. And though having her "die" and (SPOILER!) get Brainwashed and betray you (END SPOILER) has compromised her invincibility a little in my mind, she still manages to be number one for me, anyway. (I still think It was the Beret in RE1 that did it.)

So I really wanna play as her in RE5.

And I know what you'll say, "Mercs Mode", but that's not a story, just a little competition. You could ressurect any member of S.T.A.R.S. you want and stick em in there, but it wouldn't count for story now would it? I want a Jill story.

Now I know a lot of people are saying "Seperate Ways" on the boards, but do you realize how BIG a whole new Campaign would be? Tons of work, new cutscenes, some new settings; it could be really complicated. And I'd be stuck playing as "Blonde Jill". Any Jill is better than no Jill, but I get tired of how popular Blondes are, which is one of the things I always liked about the RE heroines; the big names aren't blonde. So, I'm not against "Seperate Ways" but I had an Idea that I personally find more intriguing.

Parallel Universe Campaign.

"Huh?" you say? It's Simple, take the campaign you got and add a little "What if?" to it. namely:

"What if Chris had been the one to get knocked out the window instead of Jill, that fateful night at the Spencer Mansion?" So now we have, as in the original Resident Evil, the "Jill Version" of the main story. Cool, huh? (I think it would be funny if Jill and Sheva DON'T get along the way Chris and Sheva do. It could lead to some entertainingly awkward moments!) Sure, you'd have to make some new cutscenes, and record new dialogue, but it still seems like it would be less work then a whole new campaign. She could wear her BSAA costume (well, maybe a couple others would be nice, too; same number as Chris please!) and she wouldn't have to be blonde! Everyone wins! (Well, I win anyway.)

But if you think even that is too hard, I could almost settle for the option to Re-skin Sheva as Jill. Still Sheva. But, ya know, it looks like Jill.

Am I pathetic? Maybe, but I'd still really like to see ol' Jill getting some kind of story related attention. Come on Capcom, please? You threw her out a window for goodness sake! We all deserve a little something to make up for that. Heck, SHE deserves something to make up for it. Sure she's not real, but who says fictional people can't have feelings?

Well. That's all I have to say, as weird as it was. Hope you enjoyed it!
