i really don't think they'd let jill and claire just retire off screen with no proper ending. if they do, they're going to get a LOT of backlash. even moreso than the overwhelming amount they've had from them simply not being in 6.
Chris and Jill have been on and off partners for 15 years. they have a ton of history together. even in RE6, sheva was just there because jill was "dead". in pretty much every RE game, if they're not paired together, they're looking for each other. it really hits us out of the left field that piers is here as his new partner, chris is a depressed wreck, and there's no mention of jill. i wonder if there is more to the story of chris's depression than just him losing his men.
and i think if jill was at home preggers with his kid, he wouldn't be so wreckless, depressed, angry, and careless of his own well-being.
though!!
Well, I agree with you that Jill and Chis have been partners for 15 years now and due to their history of constantly saving each other, it is indeed kind of strange that Jill isn't looking for him.
BUT first of all, what you all underestimate is the fact that he is not only suffering a stupid loss of his comrades but a main head trauma, that coused a memory loss of his whole identity and life, that lasts now over 6 months. Even the fact that he was not to be found in that time, implies that he was wandering around or even hiding from his past which he does not remember or remembers in only fearsome flashbacks. this behaviour has a real name: its called Fugue state
to explain Chris' psychologic state from my point of view to you all :
just emagine yourself waking in a litterally war zone, in a city full of zombies having no idear of your own identity, because before you got this head trauma you saw good friends/ comrades or soldiers, you even personally trained, beeing turned into zombies. add to this the fact that you are their Captain and your are responsable for your Team and so responsable for the death of your men. So beeing guilty for someones death is not really a thing you are proud of.
This traumatic event is the second reason for his memory loss, due to the fact that your brain holds back the memories because it can't bear the emotional stress, the guilt and the fear you had to experience during the incident.
And would you people really want to remember a life that scares the hell out of you?
All this is clearly shown in Chris' Demo cutscene, cause everytime Priers triggers flashbacks of his memories he truly suffers pain and fear and behaves totally distressed after it and asks again who Piers really is. Also Piers says something like "you can't run from your past, Chris..." which proves my assumption about him wandering around.
According to the trailers, in which we can see him remember the "bitch" that infacted his men, i would say that he will regain his memory during the china mission. and maybe we will see in these cutscenes some flashbacks of his personal life aswell.
So when i think about Jill(age: 37-38) an Claire (age:35-36) not beeing in RE6, i noticed something wierd being said by the capcom team in the video.
They said clearly, that sherry is kind of going to talk with chris about his sister an the racoon city incident, so that she will be mentioned in the game, and that she is propably living a peacefull life somewhere.
When it came to Jill they first of all said, that she has a good reason for retreating from the battlefield. Right after that they smile and justify that statement in saying that she does propably not want to fight anymore after beeing held prisoner by Wesker.
So ^^ one thing about that, the fact that they say something about her implies that she will be mentioned. otherwise they would have simply answered something like "we don't know what happened to her."
The fact that she has a good reason to retreat from battle can have another obvious reason. What if she really bacame a mother? im mean when she escaped from afrika she was about 33 years old, the best time for having children.
That would explain her retreatment from battle, why chris had to team up with Piers, and why Jill was not looking for him.
Plus the fact that capcom introduced Jake, Weskers son, to us shows Capcoms intention to take the battle against Evil to the next generation. So what would be more logic than to introduce also Jills and maybe Chris' Child?
so thats it from me.
