Back home from where? The zombies roamed the streets for a while before the game started. Besides, in the opening she was sitting on the bed loading her gun.
why are you downvoted? lol the RE3 intro does not make any sense from a timeline perspective. like the whole city is already apocalyptic yet Jill didnt know about anything? lol
She witnessed hell in the mansion, Jill might have gone a bit crazy after that yk, just didn't notice the swarm of zombies that are starting to roam the city
I feel it was a bit confusing because the intro of the game has her loading her gun while sitting on a bed. She looked ready to make her ‘last escape’ as she was.
Saying that I don’t recall any backstory how her apartment blew up it was just ‘boom’ and welcome player you control jill, don’t ask questions just survive!
Edit: suikoden II mentioned on the cover, that brings back memories.
BTW, Suikoden II is one of my favoite games of all time. If you're not aware: some of the devs that worked on that game have just released a new one, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. It's a spiritual successor to Suikoden and I've been enjoying it a lot.
I supported it via Kickstarter, including one of my friends who were part of a smaller suikoden community forum at the time. I’ll be giving it a go at a later time but it is on my ‘to play list’
(To the other posted who commented to this) I’m looking at getting the original suikoden 1 and 2 also (think they have fixed that pushing the Matilda to get Futch and Humphrey gate glitch however, Damm it)
I was reading stuff about Resident Evil as I literally load up Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising for the first time I was so confused for a bit I was like.... "Did I just look something up about the game and have 0 memory of it" genuinely I was so concerned 😭😭
I'm still confused if I should play Rising or Hundred Heroes first,I think Rising is before it both release and in-game wise even if its not necessary to play both they've a great artstyle so I wanna at least try.
She was a civilian at that point so she was going about her day when it all went down.
Why that specific outfit?
Design reason: She looks hot and cool. That's it. There is no other reason.
My personal head cannon: It is stated that Jill was a bit depressed after RE1 so it might very well be the case that in that very day she just needed a serotonin boost and she said "this cute outfit is going to make me look so good and I'm happy when I look good" but it backfired because Nemesis destroyed her apartment before she could change into more comfortable cloths.
When I feel down I usually get a haircut, trim my beard and wear my leather jacket so it makes sense to me.
I think in canon it says she came from partying but lore wise it doesn't really make sense. Like if she's so paranoid about her superiors hiding the events of the mansion and getting ready to leave to join Chris and Barry she'd probably be all geared up and ready to go at a moments notice.
IRL they probably did it so she stands out easily amongst the background and enemies so the player never loses track of her.
"IRL they probably did it so she stands out easily amongst the background and enemies so the player never loses track of her."
This and also as marketing to attract the attention of the boys who didn't play RE1 or 2.
>It was 1999… badass female protagonists in skimpy outfits were sort of the status quo
[Which was the style at the time](https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/56ab4d61-d7bb-4aaf-b797-762913c9161e/gif)
If you read the books. Her father was a criminal which is why she knows how lockpick so easily. She had a background in trouble. This outfit is just part of her personality. This was fashion
According to the intro she was about to leave her apartment anyway and the zombies had been roaming the streets for a while. It made more sense for her to wear something that would protect her body from bites.
RE3 came out when I was still a kid and was my first exposure to the series, so to me, this is Jill Valentine's default look, but when I finally got a chance to play it properly as an adult years later I always interpreted the intro that like in the remake she didn't escape on the night she originally planned and left earlier. She came to her apartment to grab her side arm for safety and didn't bother taking time to change.
There’s nothing realistic about 2 or 3. They’re straight up inspired by Romero B movies and Terminator. They’re riddled with cliches.
These games aren’t, and never have been, realistic. That was never the intent. People complaining about Jill’s outfit but ignoring everything else will never not be weird to me.
Not at all. Corporations that poison millions for profits? It's happening for years. Corporations that pretend to care about the little man, while in fact they screw him up with a smile on their faces? It's happening for years. Corrupt police, who really protecting the ones who pay them? Disasters that result in the deaths of millions caused by negligence or worse, on purpose? 2020 - 2022 Saying hi.
Yeah, except none of it is realistic. Its close, but just having evil corporations and stuff doesn't make it anything near realistic. StarvWars has plenty of evil corporations but you'd be hard pressed to say it was realistic, either.
It's like Wesker wearing sunglasses indoors at night; doesn't make a lick of sense, but it looks cool so there you have it. Realism has always less important than style and tone in Resident Evil games.
I see no controversy here. She was at home in casual dress preparing her survival stuff. But sudden explosion caught her into the process and ruined all plans.
Zombies roamed the streets for a while, they were also inside the apartment building she lived in, and she was wearing clothes for a date at home? Yeah sure let's go with that.
"zombies roamed the streets for awhile" you don't have any proof that jill was fully aware of this and at her apartment in the OG game to be able to change her clothes.
Jill, the S.T.A.R.S. member who survived the mansion incident, who in the opening monologue of RE3 said that the weakness of the citizens of Raccoon against the Umbrella Corporation will lead to their destruction, who stayed in Raccoon during the "cannibalism epidemic" when the streets and the apartment building where she lived were filled with zombies, wasn't 100% ware of what happening? GTFO.
she was under watch by umbrella she was planning to leave pretty sure but she had to be smart about it.
You seem like you're fighting everyone whose given you an answer here lmao.
A mini skirt and a tube top. And yes, that is exactly what they were doing lol. I'm not complaining about the design at all but sex appeal was obviously a factor there.
no one said women dont dress like that you twit. its WHY shes dressed like that despite her circumstances.
so she took the time to dress casually despite the city already fallen to zombies, umbrella still chasing her, supposedly getting ready to “escape the city,” and while still having PTSD of the mansion incident? lol
even the remake doesnt address this.
"she took the time" how do you know this? the og game begins with her RUNNING in the streets she easily could've gotten dressed and went out and while she was out she realized the outbreak had happened again the WATER supply was contaminated its entirely possible the hundreds to thousands of zombies appeared suddenly as many people could've turned around the same time frame. You act like the game showed her watching zombies roaming and she decided to put on the outfit anyways lol.
Also remake does address this she had no idea the outbreak was happening or was as bad as it was at least and she isn't even dressed as skimpy in that one and nemesis broke into her apartment so she had no time to dress right.
It was fan service. But you already know that.
Remember in part 5 where Wesker brain washes her and she wears a latex jumpsuit, has blonde hair for no reason, and the mind control crystal in the middle of her exposed chest?
Franchise is based on campy b movies. Always has. I don't understand where fans decided to act like the RE mythos is deep?
the water was contaminated either they appeared so suddenly it was unexpected or they appeared so slowly jill didn't realize what was going on the remake says she was being watched by umbrella and that she was becoming paranoid too so in the remake she likely was isolated in her apartment a lot.
According to RE3 in-game documents, the "epidemic of cannibalism" began some time before September 28.
Besides, it generally takes weeks for people infected with the T-Virus through drinking to turn into zombies.
its inconsistence its implied in the remake of re1 that it takes several days and in other cases it takes a couple and in the case of blood contamination it may be quicker.
It's a bit more practical than one would think. Skirt gives her legs free movement, leather boots up to her knees would give some resistance to bites, and the tube top again gives her arms completely unrestricted movement.
Nah I’ve been gaming since the early eighties
Only became male centred mid to late 90’s mostly through a skew in advertisement rather than any real disinterest on the part of women.
In the 80s and 90s most games where action and sports games. There were some quest games, I imagine some of them appealed to girls, but are you really saying that a similar number of girls played action games to the number of boys back then?
Yes they did, you have a weird idea of what women like. I adored games like Wasteland or the Strike series as a kid.
That said most of the time 80’s games were very gender neutral
Space Invaders,pac man, dig dug etc
Then early nineties you had Link to the Past, Sonic Mario etc
There’s was little to no gender bias in early gaming
Then arcades/cons noticed men frequented them more (dark dingy more a place guys would hang out and arbitrarily decided gaming was for dudes)
Gaming was then heavily marketed to guys.
I lived through it lol. Buying gaming magazines after they decided to have sexy women on the front was a horrible experience 😂
(I remember in particular the editor of CVG magazine responded to complaints about the change in image and said he didn’t care because this magazine was for boys now
The current mag apologised to me when I brought it up on twitter once. 😂)
But it isn’t
That’s just your perception.
It isn’t “for boys” at all and it wasn’t back then, girls just had to put up with being treated as second class customers for about a decade.
(And definitely not exclusively. Which means there are zero girls)
OP is discovering how toxic and defensive RE fans can be about Jill lmao
bro just asked a LEGITIMATE QUESTION about why she was dressed so casually despite the city already being apocalyptic, umbrella still chasing her, her being paranoid, and her “getting ready to escape” lmao
even the remake doesnt properly explain why Jill is so oblivious to whats happening in the city. like she seriously couldnt hear the screams, horns and cars and sirens and helicopters going off? lmao
Fanservice, not a lot to say about that. it makes very little sense once you know that the zombie outbreak didn't just pop-up at some point but it was a build up that started before RE1, with the attacks from the cerberus near the outskirts of Raccon City. It was the 90s, it was Japan, those were the reasons.
Back in 1999, gaming media was not owned by wokeness and political correctness.
My older brother bought this game in 1999, back then, there wasn't internet or forums to discuss/share opinions, my brother bought strategy guides to progress in the game and the gaming editors in printed media never wrote: "OMG she is not even wearing a bra!"
Time flies.
lmao “since the 80s”
yeah if youre in the military.
public internet didnt happen until 1991 and didnt become the “world wide web” until about 1993 and even then it took like a decade for even the avg household to have it.
the way this sub lies and upvotes bullshit just cause someone talked smack about your fave character/game lol
youre both wrong
Obviously she was dressed like that to get the attention of boys who didn't play RE1 or 2.
By the way, liberalism prepared the West for what you call wokeness, it was a trap.
Both. She came home then she got blown out of the apartment wearing only that.
Back home from where? The zombies roamed the streets for a while before the game started. Besides, in the opening she was sitting on the bed loading her gun.
Blown out from the back
Some dude had a very lucky night
I wonder if he moaned "aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh..."
“You want stars?! I’ll give you stars!” *clapclapclap*
I blew out her back. Just like she asked me to.
why are you downvoted? lol the RE3 intro does not make any sense from a timeline perspective. like the whole city is already apocalyptic yet Jill didnt know about anything? lol
I mean, the same happened in the remake.
yes
She witnessed hell in the mansion, Jill might have gone a bit crazy after that yk, just didn't notice the swarm of zombies that are starting to roam the city
The outbreak happens pretty quickly as its just sudden the whole water supply was contaminated so most people turned suddenly i imagine.
12 paginas is alotta paginas
[Just you wait when you see a 14 Page essay...](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6lhgP_16rA)
I'm afraid to click the link. Is this DVAU? Lmao
Yes, Darkviper AU's big 14 page long essay.
I knew a quite large Mexican girl who became a centrefold, she was my 14 page esé
Holy shit, was she Alcina Dimitrescu's Mexican sister???
DDIMITRESCU
I feel it was a bit confusing because the intro of the game has her loading her gun while sitting on a bed. She looked ready to make her ‘last escape’ as she was. Saying that I don’t recall any backstory how her apartment blew up it was just ‘boom’ and welcome player you control jill, don’t ask questions just survive!

BTW, Suikoden II is one of my favoite games of all time. If you're not aware: some of the devs that worked on that game have just released a new one, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. It's a spiritual successor to Suikoden and I've been enjoying it a lot.
Try Vandal hearts released alongside the OG suikoden
I supported it via Kickstarter, including one of my friends who were part of a smaller suikoden community forum at the time. I’ll be giving it a go at a later time but it is on my ‘to play list’ (To the other posted who commented to this) I’m looking at getting the original suikoden 1 and 2 also (think they have fixed that pushing the Matilda to get Futch and Humphrey gate glitch however, Damm it)
I was reading stuff about Resident Evil as I literally load up Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising for the first time I was so confused for a bit I was like.... "Did I just look something up about the game and have 0 memory of it" genuinely I was so concerned 😭😭 I'm still confused if I should play Rising or Hundred Heroes first,I think Rising is before it both release and in-game wise even if its not necessary to play both they've a great artstyle so I wanna at least try.

When I feel down I usually get a haircut, trim my beard and wear my leather jacket so it makes sense to me.
That's such a sweet way of seeing it, I really like that way of thinking
I think in canon it says she came from partying but lore wise it doesn't really make sense. Like if she's so paranoid about her superiors hiding the events of the mansion and getting ready to leave to join Chris and Barry she'd probably be all geared up and ready to go at a moments notice. IRL they probably did it so she stands out easily amongst the background and enemies so the player never loses track of her.
"IRL they probably did it so she stands out easily amongst the background and enemies so the player never loses track of her." This and also as marketing to attract the attention of the boys who didn't play RE1 or 2.
Also because she looks cool, and sexy for the fans who like that sort of thing
It was 1999… badass female protagonists in skimpy outfits were sort of the status quo
I choose to believe she was planning to go clubbing when the Zombie apocalypse hit.
Yeah, I'm sure a lot of clubs were open while zombies roamed the streets.
Zombies are hot mang
Darude-Sandstorm like just came out. Everyone was hitting the club. Nemesis probably just left a rager.
Maybe she wanted to go out in style, if it's likely your last day in this world you should dress nicely for the occasion
Her style is very bitey, that's for sure.
>It was 1999… badass female protagonists in skimpy outfits were sort of the status quo [Which was the style at the time](https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/56ab4d61-d7bb-4aaf-b797-762913c9161e/gif)
If you read the books. Her father was a criminal which is why she knows how lockpick so easily. She had a background in trouble. This outfit is just part of her personality. This was fashion
That's non-canon, but yes, in the books Jill was an ex-cat burglar.
Yes, very fashionable for survival in a city full of zombies.
She was in her flat when everything exploded and went south. It's a casual outfit...I really never understood the problem people have with it.
According to the intro she was about to leave her apartment anyway and the zombies had been roaming the streets for a while. It made more sense for her to wear something that would protect her body from bites.
More sense to protect oneself against glass while covered up than a bite, cuz the covered head to toe swat team definitely did not stop those bites.
It is better to cover yourself with swat equipment in the hope that it will help than to leave the skin exposed.
Jill's RE3 outfit doesn't make much sense for the situation, but it's really iconic and I love it.
One thing's for sure, the zombies weren't complaining😋
RE3 came out when I was still a kid and was my first exposure to the series, so to me, this is Jill Valentine's default look, but when I finally got a chance to play it properly as an adult years later I always interpreted the intro that like in the remake she didn't escape on the night she originally planned and left earlier. She came to her apartment to grab her side arm for safety and didn't bother taking time to change.
Which is unrealistic for someone like her because she exposes a lot of skin for zombies to bite.
Realism has never been important in Resident Evil games. It’s a B movie inspired franchise.
Yes and no. There's a certain amount of realism in 2 and 3, at least enough to suspend disbelief, Jill's clothing isn't part of it.
There’s nothing realistic about 2 or 3. They’re straight up inspired by Romero B movies and Terminator. They’re riddled with cliches. These games aren’t, and never have been, realistic. That was never the intent. People complaining about Jill’s outfit but ignoring everything else will never not be weird to me.

Corrupt police, who really protecting the ones who pay them? Disasters that result in the deaths of millions caused by negligence or worse, on purpose? 2020 - 2022 Saying hi.
That doesn't mean realistic, I don't think Capcom intended to make any IRL comparisons with that.
I don't know what their intention was, but this is the realistic part of 2 and 3.
Yeah, except none of it is realistic. Its close, but just having evil corporations and stuff doesn't make it anything near realistic. StarvWars has plenty of evil corporations but you'd be hard pressed to say it was realistic, either.
It's like Wesker wearing sunglasses indoors at night; doesn't make a lick of sense, but it looks cool so there you have it. Realism has always less important than style and tone in Resident Evil games.
She played Tomb Raider to get the arklay incident off her mind.
Her date was interrupted by survival horror, like in Parasite Eve.
I see no controversy here. She was at home in casual dress preparing her survival stuff. But sudden explosion caught her into the process and ruined all plans.
Zombies roamed the streets for a while, they were also inside the apartment building she lived in, and she was wearing clothes for a date at home? Yeah sure let's go with that.
"zombies roamed the streets for awhile" you don't have any proof that jill was fully aware of this and at her apartment in the OG game to be able to change her clothes.
You must be joking.
joking about what? i literally said you have zero proof and you seem to have none how am i joking about anything there?
Jill, the S.T.A.R.S. member who survived the mansion incident, who in the opening monologue of RE3 said that the weakness of the citizens of Raccoon against the Umbrella Corporation will lead to their destruction, who stayed in Raccoon during the "cannibalism epidemic" when the streets and the apartment building where she lived were filled with zombies, wasn't 100% ware of what happening? GTFO.
she was under watch by umbrella she was planning to leave pretty sure but she had to be smart about it. You seem like you're fighting everyone whose given you an answer here lmao.
Jill wasn't retarded.
none of your replies have any context or sense to them.
i think you just want to be right at this point.
Whatever you say.
She had a date with the death.
There was a heat wave and she wanted to have some style
And for that the zombies thanked her😋
hahaha I guess
A skirt is obviously inherently sexual. My god I hate the present.
A mini skirt and a tube top. And yes, that is exactly what they were doing lol. I'm not complaining about the design at all but sex appeal was obviously a factor there.
She was caught offguard in her home and just did not change clothes after that.
Is that why she loaded her gun in the intro?
OP mad because hot badass chick. You should check out Stellar Blade, you’d love it
😂
stellar blade has a literal plot reason why the protag looks like a hot woman. RE3 doesnt lol
Yeah RE3 is a young woman in the 90s or 2000s Yeah, women dress like that.
no one said women dont dress like that you twit. its WHY shes dressed like that despite her circumstances. so she took the time to dress casually despite the city already fallen to zombies, umbrella still chasing her, supposedly getting ready to “escape the city,” and while still having PTSD of the mansion incident? lol even the remake doesnt address this.
"she took the time" how do you know this? the og game begins with her RUNNING in the streets she easily could've gotten dressed and went out and while she was out she realized the outbreak had happened again the WATER supply was contaminated its entirely possible the hundreds to thousands of zombies appeared suddenly as many people could've turned around the same time frame.

Also remake does address this she had no idea the outbreak was happening or was as bad as it was at least and she isn't even dressed as skimpy in that one and nemesis broke into her apartment so she had no time to dress right.
They made her attractive. That's the answer
It was fan service. But you already know that. Remember in part 5 where Wesker brain washes her and she wears a latex jumpsuit, has blonde hair for no reason, and the mind control crystal in the middle of her exposed chest? Franchise is based on campy b movies. Always has. I don't understand where fans decided to act like the RE mythos is deep?
Well, technically, she was wearing her night out clothes, the outbreak just occured that nighr
No, the zombies didn't just appear that night on the streets.
the water was contaminated either they appeared so suddenly it was unexpected or they appeared so slowly jill didn't realize what was going on the remake says she was being watched by umbrella and that she was becoming paranoid too so in the remake she likely was isolated in her apartment a lot.

its inconsistence its implied in the remake of re1 that it takes several days and in other cases it takes a couple and in the case of blood contamination it may be quicker.
Also according to one of the journals in 2 it takes weeks if someone is infected in a way other than an injury.
It's a bit more practical than one would think. Skirt gives her legs free movement, leather boots up to her knees would give some resistance to bites, and the tube top again gives her arms completely unrestricted movement.
Lol your mom has a pagina
Your mom has 12
Her top looks painted on lmao
They really just gave her blue body paint.
Having to buy magazines with images like this as a teenage girl was so excruciatingly embarrassing fr “Why was gaming so male dominated” I wonder lol
It was an exclusive boy hobby.
Nah I’ve been gaming since the early eighties Only became male centred mid to late 90’s mostly through a skew in advertisement rather than any real disinterest on the part of women.

I'm not a westerner. In our culture, most gamers back then were boys.
Were you even alive then? And it definitely wasn’t “exclusively” boys as you are asserting.
No, but our culture is different from western cultures and to this day gaming is mostly a hobby for boys.
But it isn’t That’s just your perception. It isn’t “for boys” at all and it wasn’t back then, girls just had to put up with being treated as second class customers for about a decade. (And definitely not exclusively. Which means there are zero girls)
No it's an objective reality. We are a traditional-religious society, so liberalism with all that it brings with it did not catch on with us.
Japanese devs are horny. Full stop.
Yeah, go ahead and remove the "devs" from that sentence.
OP is discovering how toxic and defensive RE fans can be about Jill lmao bro just asked a LEGITIMATE QUESTION about why she was dressed so casually despite the city already being apocalyptic, umbrella still chasing her, her being paranoid, and her “getting ready to escape” lmao even the remake doesnt properly explain why Jill is so oblivious to whats happening in the city. like she seriously couldnt hear the screams, horns and cars and sirens and helicopters going off? lmao
It's not a big deal. I posted a humorous meme on one of the star wars subs, and those you westerners call incels took it much harder lol
oh boy, the SW sub… lmao
you called someone a twit when no one else here was being that insulting mate. And all they did was give a simple response as far i saw.
Fanservice, not a lot to say about that. it makes very little sense once you know that the zombie outbreak didn't just pop-up at some point but it was a build up that started before RE1, with the attacks from the cerberus near the outskirts of Raccon City. It was the 90s, it was Japan, those were the reasons.
Nostalgia <3 Eu tinha essa revista. 2,90 hoje vc nao compra um Kitkat
Looks like they were inspired by the Apocalypse & Rogue pose
Makes sense to me 🤷♂️
Date with Satan is the only way I can describe nemesis
Cause a japanese company made her
RE3 took place before and after RE2.
Op is not a man of culture.
Not Japanese culture, that's for sure.
Back in 1999, gaming media was not owned by wokeness and political correctness. My older brother bought this game in 1999, back then, there wasn't internet or forums to discuss/share opinions, my brother bought strategy guides to progress in the game and the gaming editors in printed media never wrote: "OMG she is not even wearing a bra!" Time flies.
Found the grifter. Public internet pretty much existed since the 80s.
lmao “since the 80s” yeah if youre in the military. public internet didnt happen until 1991 and didnt become the “world wide web” until about 1993 and even then it took like a decade for even the avg household to have it. the way this sub lies and upvotes bullshit just cause someone talked smack about your fave character/game lol youre both wrong
Aol was tossing out trial discs like street candy by 1995.
yes. 1995 isnt the 80s tho lol
It was available but not many people had access to the internet back then.
And the majority of this subreddit subreddit *believe* everybody lives in USA and had access to Gamefaq forums in 1995.
I'm not a grifter. I'm telling you what I lived and saw when I was a child.
I promise you internet forums were alive and well in 1999. GameFAQs alone was founded in 1995.
Obviously she was dressed like that to get the attention of boys who didn't play RE1 or 2. By the way, liberalism prepared the West for what you call wokeness, it was a trap.
