And the second half of RE9 should have been given to Jill. Rumors were that she was originally part of the game until her role was reduced further and further until she disappeared entirely. IDK if the rumors were true but I'd argue she has a much bigger connection to Raccoon City than Leon "Capcom's Golden Goose" Kennedy. Have Leon tap out after "not hitting the vitals" on Emily (🙄) and have Jill take over. Give us the Clock Tower teased but never shown in RE3 Remake. Have Jill go back inside the S.T.A.R.S. office (that was given to Carlos instead in the RE3 Remake)! Maybe she can go back to her former apartment or at least see it!

Instead we got the boring beige Call of Duty/2006-esque hell scape that is Raccoon City with Leon instead. It was such a deliberately scuttled opportunity for the player to explore Raccoon City through Jill's eyes!

Jill has experience fighting giant spiders and an evil plant monster (RE1 '96 and the Remake - do not get me started on the travesty that is RE3 Remake). She was part of the BSAA - she would have a stronger reaction to seeing her fellow troops turned into zombies. But nope, gotta give it to Leon Kennedy.

Who, by the way, was (1) actively dying and (2) didn't seem to have a reaction to the obvious Wesker clone?! It would have hit a lot different if Jill met Zeno.
