I was talking to someone. I had always thought it was Jill until 5, where it became Chris, but he insists it was always Chris.

Personally I feel it's a tie between Leon & Chris. With the last three main number games featuring Chris though I do think it leans slightly more towards him.

People are just picking their favorite character instead of actually thinking the question through

I think you can probably justify Leon given how big a deal RE4 and both versions of RE2 were.

Leon is the lead in the two best rated games.
The series definitely pushes Chris.

I personally think of Jill first, but thats because of Gamefaqs.

Can you be the face of a franchise with a design as inconsistent and generic as Chris'? I feel like there's a slight difference between being the main character/protagonist of a series and the face of that series.

Leon > Jill > Chris

Capcom wants it to be Chris unfortunately, but that's never going to be the case. The gap between Leon and Jill is way smaller than the gap between Jill and Chris.

I think this is a pretty good comparison tbh. The difference is the NRS embraced the fact long ago (helpful that Ed Boon's favorite is Scorpion anyway).

Chris can't even be the face of games where you never see the face of the character who IS the face of the game.

If any of that makes sense.

It should be Jill but yeah, Capcom is pushing Chris for some reason.

Chris is too boring. Leon is the best character but not the "face" of the franchise.

I wanna say it was definitely Jill until Chris became the main character with RE5.

But Leon is a kind of a poster child too. He did get the "first" campaign in RE6.

Chris really started being the main character with Code Veronica and his feud with Wesker becoming front and center.

It's never really been Claire because whenever she's around the plot has always been "Where's Chris?"

Leon has appeared in exactly as many games as Claire so it's pretty clear people just *want* him to be the face, but he's not even close.

Leon: 3 (4 if you double-count remakes)
Jill: 4 (6 if you double-count remakes)
Chris: 7 (8 if you double-count remakes)

Also of note, while Chris and Jill have both repeatedly represented the series in crossovers, the only time Leon has done so (that I'm aware of?) is in Project X Zone 2, and even then he was only added after both Chris and Jill were chosen in the prior entry.
