What if, It is Elza Walker instead of Claire Redfield

Personally I prefer Claire Redfield over Elza Walker. Maybe if she had appeared along side Claire and the two of them had been possibly best friends. And then after encountering Leon they all could have gotten separated. But that's if they had chosen to keep her in the game after rebooting it is how I see her fitting in a way.

If I'm remembering correctly, Elza was replaced By Claire because it was said they wanted more of a connection between characters or something like that. Seeing as Claire didn't come from Raccoon City University while Elza did, that already put Elza in the town. When you look at it, in my opinion at least, choosing Claire Redfield gave the story more depth. Elza would have just been another person trying to get out a live. And After those events there wouldn't be too terribly much left for her down the road unless they did with her what they did with either Chris or Leon or if she simply chose to go her own way and try to forget everything that had happened.

Perhaps Elza Walker's story would have been too complex for what was currently being gone for at the time the game was created. But having Claire adds to the story and pulls a few strings together by connecting certain characters with other ones throughout the series. Even if certain ones don't always make an appearance all the time.

But hey, this is just me here.

Elza walker in RE6? I had heard of the possibility of Claire most likely having an appearance as the game has both Leon and Chris so it would be more likely for her to be in it rather then Elza. If Elza were to be in RE6 what would her role even be at this point? And why introduce her now when she was practically scrapped before?

That's exactly what I meant with them not showing him explicitly. They show the guy but leave some for the imagination.

They do show his face when Joseph finds him but he has already been mutilated.

Now I really feel more dissapointed at the same time it's insulting me knowing that Elza Walker is gonna be on RE6. Why would Capcom do that? Im hoping it's not true.

Its true. I read it on Google. Just try searching it, Im trying to find a way to post the link here. Capcom is returning her as a main character on RE6.

Really Mass?

Edward Dewey was created for RE0. He's Bravo's actual helicopter pilot.

Kevin Dooley was a guy subbing in. He was seen in the REmake at the beginning. Wasn't it his hand that Joseph pulled out with that gun?

I know all that but do you have any other explanation for the extra guy in the STARS pic? It was said that he often worked with the STARS teams as an extra pilot so it could as well be him. At least I like to think so.

It was most likely a mistake by whoever created the image since the character did not exist in the original Resident Evil game. In the original RE it is Dewey's hand that is found by Joseph Frost. However, this got retconned for RE0 and instead Dewey is found in the train and turns into a zombie. In REmake Dooley then becomes the one killed by the Cerebruses but instead of just a hand it's a mutilated corpse. It's a good explaination though to make the picture fit.

Works for me.

Well, I asked and it was pretty certain that it would be from a Resident Evil site

Thanks for letting me know. Besides, you didn't link to them

elza sounded chessy

You got that right. I bet she was in the Raccoon University chess team.

The main character in Last Story name's Elza in Japan, they changed it to Zael in the Europe release,

Because redheads are clearly better.

Yeah Claire is better. She just seems better than Elza. Besides, if it we're Elza then there wouldn't be any shipping of...

StevexClaire
LeonxClaire
WeskerxClaire
ChrisxClaire

You know what twilight is? I'm surprised Paul lol

Zael? Sorry but that is a lame name. Zeal would go better.

If it had been Elza Walker, we would grow to like her.

Not as much as Claire though. Plus Elza's story doesn't really
excite me. But you can see the resemblance between her and Claire.
Hairstyle and love for motorbikes.

If Elza was in CVX, I guess they would have brought up a different story.
Maybe she was looking for Steve. lol

You can't really say that Claire is better than Elza,because no one knows what Elza's personality is XD Her biker suit does seem cooler than Claire's(reminds me of a car racing suit).



I don't know - Elza looks like a character I could relate to(which I never managed to do with Claire) and the story of the "lone survivor" seems more interesting than the "find my brother" story.

Since 1.5 is being worked on you will get the chance to play as her as well as(to some degree) see what she would have been like as a character.

Hmnn, nah, can never imagine it. Claire Redfield all the way.
Butttt... i guess that was the thing. As you said, it was a similar character yet completely UNRELATED. Maybe it made more sense if they linked at least one of the character in RE 1's sequel of RE 2 to someone from RE 1. That way, it somehow "flows" more rather than having RE 2 in a completely unrelated and random survivor's point of view. Plus, it really proves that the Redfields ARE true survivors hehe .

I agreed to you. Somehow it may sounds a little unrelated but because of Claire telling that Chris is his brother it serves as a link between them. So it's kinda related. I never imagined it would be Elza cause if it's her ofcourse it turned out to be a different story in the future.

Real answer: Red heads are just way more awesome.

Seriously though, I'm glad they went with Claire. Mainly because Elza's design looks horrible imo. I never did like dirtbike/race suits on girls.

Hehe yes very correct . And also, if every single nooks and crannies of Raccoon City were infected, then how high are the chances of a university student attending school (Raccoon City University) there surviving?... Yea, sadly, not a lot.

One did. Yoko Suzuki. Claire was also a student, if not from the same town.

Then again, how did people like a waitress, reporter, subway station worker, plumber, security guard, doctor, 12-year-old kid and a bunch of police officers, including one first timer, survive? Pure luck and will to survive, I guess.

Claire was from a different university.
And dude, wasnt that game a non-cannon?? Those werent included. Honestly, i dont know much whether it actually is or it isnt, but whenever i play or watch the cannon RE games or films, they only ever mention Leon, Claire and Sherry as the only main survivors of the Raccoon City incident recorded. Ada and Hunk doesnt count of course cos they work in the shadows.

It's as canon as you want it to be. Capcom has never wanted to state if it is or isn't so it's entirely up to the gamers. There's nothing to contradict the actual canon either and the ending of Outbreak File#2 was referenced in Umbrella Chronicles.

Besides, even if it was different canon, it still happened in those games.
