Theme 03 : Lost In Nightmares

"Lost in Nightmares" appears in "Biohazard 5" as the reconstruction of Chris and Jill's reminesent scene in the form of a chapter.
To tell the truth, this came about in the form of an idea in the earlier stages of developement. In addition, it was discussed before Co-Op.

After the decision to make "Biohazard 5" fully Co-Op when we went back and looked at the idea it didn't seem to fit well, as switching from Sheva to Jill midway through the game left a bad feeling, so we scraped the idea.

However, in the developement team there were some deep-seated Jill fans who would joke and say "I want to play as Jill!" Because of this we naturally started discussing "Alternative Edition" and decided to go with it.

Theme 04: About Desperate Escape

Even though he is not so handsome, he strikes a pose with his best smile as he is told "Don't die" by Sheva and he makes everyone think he died; however, he appears in front of us without mentioning anything. Josh is appealing and is popular amongst the game's developers.

However, he actually was planned to be killed in the oilfield. Yet that plan was changed with the revision to co-op play. Originally, Sheva was to guide the boat but since she was decided to fight in the Irving battle to keep with the co-op, the result was Josh to return and carry the two after the fight.

When the idea of Jill's escape story came up at the team meeting somebody asked "who will be Jill's co-op partner?", that's when Josh came up again. After he carried the two to the ruins he went to a base and called for rescue as well as got on a helicopter to save Sheva, meeting Jill by chance.

It was not only Sheva and Jill that Josh saved, but he also saved the developer's. Josh is a reliable guy.
