In reply to Arthur Brovsky. This is a year late, but claire’s quote is “my goddess protected you” and she’s specifically referring to the design on her vest. She’s not religious.

As far as Claire is concerned, despite the inconsistency mentioned in the article, there is an interesting line in RER2 that leaves me wondering: “God, help me”. This reminds me of “My God has protected you. He will always be with you” in RE2, and it also contrasts a bit with Leon’s “I wish I believed God were looking down out on us” in RE 6.

As for Claire’s mix of infatuation and respect for Neil, I thought it was an interesting direction to take with her character, as it helped her get out of the “protect the little kid” niche and also contrast with her relationship with Steve in RECV.

less drama and more “you are almost a jill Sandwich” this is series is taken to much serious in a very boring way.

In reply to Gorkon. I like Barry a lot, and I will actually be talking about him a bit in part two.

In reply to EvilResident. At least they touched upon Chris' PTSD a little bit after the events of RE5 with the Viral Campaign that can still be seen on YouTube.

I honestly had never thought of how much of carbon copies Chris and Jill are of each other in the series until now but you do make a very good point. There is not much in the way of seperating their personalities. At least Chris has gotten more depth to his PTSD with RE5’s Viral Campaign and, as you mentioned here, in RE6. At least the two have gone through somewhat different experiences, what with Jill’s mind control and all, but even the official RE comics made a joke on Chris and Jill’s storylines in RE1 being mostly the same with them arguing after the mansion incident who was in the jail cell and who rescued who. It was hilarious, at least.

Leon’s I personally think hit rock bottom character development -wise in Vendetta (and seemingly altogether) and it is a shame they just reused Chris’ story from RE6. I didn’t feel that Claire was that much out of character in Revelations 2, especially considering how little we actually delved into this new romance thing. Moira was old enough to handle herself and Claire barely interacted with Natalia.

In any case, I’m looking forward to your next article on character development in the series. I like looking deeper into stuff like this.

I honestly think that Barry is the most consistent character in the series because his main motivation has always been to protect his family at all costs

I think RE7 has the best characters. The sewer gators, Jack, Lucas, Joe, and I personally really liked RE7 chris.

“One of the good things you can say about Resident Evil 6 is that Chris was given somewhat of a personal struggle to overcome his post-traumatic stress over the events of prior installments.“

I WISH this were the case, but his PTSD was from the attack on his men within RE6. It would have been faaar more interesting had they connected to anything he’d done in previous games, especially if it had been due to a loss of purpose after defeating Wesker or something along those lines.
