New Ethan Winter Hidden Facial Expression In RE Village Shadows Of Rose

[@dogeofdojima3813]

This would have been a lot more impactful if theyd just show his face here. Like it makes sense and seems like a perfect moment to reveal it

[@Mightyjordy]

Agreed. I understand not wanting to show it since they didn’t want to detract from Rose’s story, but honestly it was more distracting to me than anything else. They already took the time to animate the face, feels like a waste by cutting to all these awkward camera angles

Rose meeting Ethan was the appropriate time to reveal Ethans face if they ever were going to. Kind of disappointed that Capcom didn't decide to go that route as a surprise for players who go through Shadows of Rose for the first time after completing Village. Especially since after completing Shadows of Rose it felt a little lack-luster once I saw the ending was basically the same ending twice.

@@thewanderer6984 It might've disappointed you and the other. But this is the explanation what was happening when Rose and the Agent were in the car and the end of road it stopped. The ending might will be continue on the next DLC. This one DLC isn't took really long because it's the same map just a lil bit modifications. Well who knows what's going to happend next. For me this one DLC has a really deep story about Father and daughter's reunion only even a moment. And it was the actual ending, so capcom did put back the old ending just to gathered the plot. Next one might will be bigger than this.

[@roshymark66]

When the Agent said *"You just like your father, you know."* And Rose respond it like she knew *"yes. Ik."* It's impossible Rose could remember her father, Chris might tell her about him but still. Rose still can't imagine how he was. And this one DLC is explanation for that. How Rose really confident when saying *"I can show you what Chris doesn't know I can do."* And plus, don't forget to concern where is Mia. And why did Rose said she hadn't see her in ages. Which they got separated by someone's decision.

[@RegalRuffRaff]

It'll never not be weird that Ethan's face being hidden in Village is more of a gag; in Biohazard you play in 1st person, so there isn't a reason to see his face. However, you CAN see it in some cutscenes (the Evie flashbacks near the end of the game, when Mia comes to rescue Ethan). What is the reason to hide his face now? I always thought it was because by Village, his face looked less human or something, considering he is an advanced Molded. But his face is...relatively similar to the previous game. Funnily, they don't bother to animate his mouth unless the player can see it? Like in Village's new third person, where you can sorta see the side of Ethan's face while healing.

[@TheJassJournals]

I understand the whole no-face protagonist thing they were going for with Re7. But with the end of Village and an end sequence this from the DLC, I just feel sad with all the missed potential!

It goes to prove just how powerful showing a face with facial animation can be. Teenage rose only appear one time in resident evil 8 ending and dlc and she already have a very strong personality which overshadow her father who appear two times in two resident evil games. All because capcom refuses to show Ethan winters face with facial animations.

[@BreadCatMarcus]

Eh, I wouldn't say her personality grew beyond his for the entirety of Village. But, showing his face certainly would have been a big moment here.

[@PoliteMean884]

I don't know if it's just me, but I think the reason why they don't show his face is because Capcom may have plans for him to return in re9 (probably not as the main playable character).

@@okurrrrrr6583 I absolutely agree. They made an epic finish about Rose and Ethan. They also made a Happy End on Mia and Ethan in RE7. But the only role of Mia in RE8 was sitting in jail and waiting for Chris to rescue her. That cannot be. For me, the Winters Saga is not finished yet unless we know more about Mia. But maybe she’s included into Chris’ BSAA, I mean she was originally a worker of Umbrella transporting Eveline “safely” to destination. So who knows, maybe her story continues. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Edit: Capcom does a lot of stupid things, like DMC5 and not bringing any fan support. So who knows or maybe it stays a miracle forever.

How I hate this whole topic of "associating" the player with the character by hiding the face of the character himself. Especially here, when Rosa sees her father for the first time, it was just the perfect moment to show her face. This moment would make it much more possible for the players to "associate" themselves with Rosa, since she, like the player, will see Ethan for the first time (I'm not considering the fact now that almost everyone saw Ethan's face, because it would still be useful to officially show it, and not force players to hack the game's camera).

[@NinjaLegendPsycho]

Really sad that the Winters saga will end. The games (RE7 & RE8) were one of my favorite Resident Evil games, really wish Capcom could continue the story though. Also, I'm really confused on what happened to Mia. Why did Mia left Rose though? I mean, she's Rose's mother, they didn't even gave us clues to know what happened to her.
