As you can see, Jill looks a lot like Sheva. I understand that Jill has been going through some changes over the course of Resident Evil history. But I could not help my but thinking "what the...." Now THIS is what Jill looked like in Resident Evil 5.

She looks NOTHING like Jill from Revelation.

I don't know why this is bothering me so much but I cannot be the only one noticing this...

Did they just change Jill's looks because Sheva was so popular in the 5th Resident Evil? I know I'm asking for an explanation that is not worthwhile but... I don't know.

Other than her hair, she looks similar enough. Wesker probably has a thing for blondes. Or he's a white supremacist. Probably both.

Jill from Revelations look nothing like Sheva. And Jill from RE5 is not Jill.

You will never, ever be the only one, snowflake.

To answer the question, I don't know. She doesn't look anything like Jill from Resident Evil 1 (obviously) or Resident Evil 3. I think it's just a case of different divisions and departments. Different 3D artists building different models for different engines. The nuance of the way characters look is bound to be lost.

Hair color can make you think someone looks super different when they dont. Its the hair color dude.

It is Nina from Tekken.

Wait, no that can't possibly b- HOLY SHIT MY MIND JUST ERASED ITSELF.

She had dark hair in the DLC for RE5 too.

She colored her hair.

That, as well as the angle and lighting, are the only real differences that I see. Everything else looks pretty much like the same person.

My mind has been blown.

Is she still the master of unlocking, though?

No it isn't just the hair. Her face looks different. Look at the Lost in Nightmares model for Jill where she is still a brunette, she looks like RE5 Jill even with brown hair. It's nothing to fuss over and I'm not bothered by it, but she does look different in Revelations

While I agree with the similarity you found- I am not bothered by it like you are.

Jill still looks like Jill to me.

Jill isn't blonde in Revelations because it takes place between RE4 and RE5. Before she was taken by Wesker and turned into Aryan Action Jill

Maybe cause its 10 years later? RE5 is 10 years after that DLC. When is Revelations is based?

The DLC has to take place after Revelations since that explains how Jill went missing. I'm not really gonna try to come up with some timeline to justify her different appearance since I'm pretty sure it's just different character modelers and something about it being on the 3DS. I'm not bothered by it. She just happens to look different in this one, no real canonical reason behind it.

As far as the faces, eh...

As far as the hair color, it makes sense.

And yes, you're the only one.

Women all have the same faces, where's the problem

She looks like Sheva?  I guess they are both female.

Jill has never looked consistent from one game to the next, and she's had a different voice actor for virtually every installment she's been in. The only way you know it's Jill is because people call her that. Looking at the pictures though, her hair is actually the exact same except for 2009 Jill being blonde (this along with becoming pale are explained as a reaction to Wesker's various experiments).

@The_Laughing_Man: @MiniPato: To answer both you guys, Revelations is set in 2005, the incident at Spencer's mansion (where she falls to her death) is 2006, and the events of Resident Evil 5 are 2009.

LUL.

I'm more bothered by this.

I don't think she looks like Sheva at all, although I agree she doesn't look like the Jill I know and love either, not that much different though really...

Yes you are and RE5 Jill and Revelations Jill look the same except for hair color

If you don't think that Sheva was changed to a black sidekick late in development to put aside those racism rows, you don't know shit about videogames.  
 
I'm only slightly trolling.

Sheva was popular?

She's Jill just with blond hair, Wesker had her under his control and likes blonds like himself so he changed it. Also it was supposed to be a surprise that the mysterious woman was Jill in RE5 so they probs did it to throw players off. Revelations is between 4 and 5 apparently.

Also, Video Games.
