The 4chan hyper contrarian combat brain got really triggered over RE 3 Remake putting Jill in tactical clothing rather than a get up you'd go clubbing in.
I liked silly stuff like Jill's RE3 outfit or Ada grapplehooking her way through Spanish villages, castles and military bases in a fabulous red dress and heels :shrug-outta-hecks:
The old games prior to 7 had only a vaguely realistic anime aesthetic though, and the characters always looked like 3D anime characters instead of real people all the way until RE6, and anime cheese fit that look better. The more modern RE titles have opted for a more grounded look to everything. The series has always tried to emulate American scifi, horror and action movies and I'd argue that they're just trying to make their games as authentic as possible in that sense.
Interestingly, DMC5 also uses the same engine and the same 3D scanned actor approach and everyone still looks just as goofy as ever so they CAN put real people in ludicrous anime getup, they just have chosen not do so for Resident Evil.
