yeah seems kinda dumb they would just change her hair color, but there is a slim chance that he DID have her change it, just to make her less recognizable (since she's wearing a frontal mask)
It's unlikely it is a purely cosmetic change for the sake of the series, because they do acknowledge her having brown hair before with her BSAA outfit.

?LiK said:dont even worry about that Troll dude in Pro solo. i beat him on my 2nd try. just play as Sheva instead of Chris. the Chris AI fuckin rules. i was worried like you until i followed someone's advice here and played as Sheva instead.
There's the difference between AI's? Or does it have something to do with the mounted weapon each one is using (Chris' MG vs Sheva's Gatling Gun).
edit: Yeah, seeing blonde Jill was a real wtf moment. Don't like the design changes they've done.

Well I thought of the idea of him having her do it to protect her identity, but I think it would be just as easy/easier and more efficient to just shave her head completely lol. Now I don't think that would fly with the fans, but it makes more sense IMO. It would be nice if Capcom put something in the files that explained it or gave a rational for it.
Jill's blonde hair. FAQ #1!Insaniac said:
The reason is explained in the game. Go to 5-2 and check out the computer right on the platform where you start. The computer tells you Jill's blonde hair is a "pigmentation abnormality" caused by the experiments she's undergone.
ALSO, from a thematic standpoint it seems obvious to me it's a symbol that Wesker changed her. Hell, just look at the shot where the BLONDE Jill is standing next to the BLONDE Wesker on the side of EVIL and Wesker says "Two on two." I think this should be clear to anyone who's ever had to deal with symbolism in a literature class before.
People, start placing bets how many times more I'll explain this!

They do explain why Jill is a blonde now in the memos. Something to do with all the crap Wesker was doing to her to get the virus antibodies she was producing fucked with her DNA and made her hair blonde.
I personally really like her BSAA outfit. It looks cooler, and way more practical and realistic than her outfit in RE1. It would have been neat to have her STARS outfit as an unlockable though.
One thing which they should have done is to make these 2 outfits available: Chris seems to use a unique outfit in the flashback cutscenes, but you can't use that in mercs mode. And it would have been neat to have another playable Wesker where he's wearing his coat.

That's an interesting take. But in case you didn't see the game's reason (and my ideas on the theme) that were posted on the last page:Cimarron said:

Experimentation she has gone under in order to give her super human abilities.
I also get the whole "Two on Two" thing from a thematic stand point. 2 lighter super humans vs. their darker and inferior counterparts. Yeah Chris and Sheva win but it's still a little annoying given the history behind that sort of thing.

I already seen enough spoilers in this thread but thankfully not enough to give me the entire games story, the Jill hair thing is interesting though.

To be honest, this was one of my most hated aspects of the game.
I get why the did the blonde Jill, so that's okay, but it did look weird. I wouldn't know that was Jill if we weren't told it was Jill.
But the Chris thing, that was a bit too ridiculous for me. I figured they would do something cool relating to the story line, like he really is taking some sort of roid in order to be able to go up against Wesker and find Jill, but that's not the case. They just made him stupidly huge.

In the beginning of 4-2, with the giant lenses that shoot beams at you, I hear it's possible to kill the guys operating them. But I can't find anyone near them.
Was I lied to? >_>
edit: lol nvm, just found them.
