There's a theory that because the original writer of RE1 left, the new writers wanted to create a new slate of characters who would then take over and star in the series. And seeing how they planned out RE2 and its sequels, this looks to be the case. The logical starting point would have been to have more STARS members investigating Umbrella. The promotional media REALLY pushed Claire and Leon in ways that the original didn't push Jill and Chris. Leon and CLaire were meant to be the face of RE going forward. Of course, it didn't quite work out like that.

Leon is the face of Reaident Evil though.Why did Claire fail?

That's like, most sequels not made by the original writers. See how Dino Crisis 2 is all about the OC blonde faggot and his down syndromed daughter while you play as Regina less than half the time and she's only tagging along.Even when characters get re-used by new writers, their personalities change so much they're basically a different person, which is the ultimate "I was forced to use this character but fuck you I'll do what I want", see Leon in RE4 or Rebecca in RE0. See also the classic, "we'll kill off the old character to strengthen our new OC" because we all know seeing your hero dead pathetically is what all the fans wanted to see (Harry in Silent Hill 3).The only character that was ever re-used in a way that makes sense and feel natural in the RE series was Jill in RE3.

You could have googled the story of RE2's development instead of throwing your incorrect rumors and hearsay around like a fucking numpty.

I have a theory that you're a faggot.

People say Claire failed but the same is true of Jill. They didn't make another Jill or Claire game ever again until Revelatoins which aren't even mainline. The truth is RE became male-character focused for RE4-6, 7 and 8 People give Jill a pass because she's in RE5 as a villain but that was it. They just stopped doing the female badass thing, because it detracts from the self-inserting and then the audience also starts expecting zapping systems and the like.

I always sort of felt that Resident Evil would have worked best as some kind of anthology series. Game 1 would be Chris and Jill then you had Leon and Claire in part 2 and from there they should have done new characters in new survival situations. But they didn't.
