All these dinguses whining about Ashley when the real crime is what they did to Leon and Wesker
Also the two games had very different art styles. While RE did base their character models on real people on occasion even in the sixth and seventh gens (Re0 Rebecca was based on a Japanese pop star, Jill from REmake until RE3Remake was based on a model IIRC), before REVII pivoted to stricter photorealism the older games had that very distinct semi-realistic but still kind of anime look many Japanese games have
They were not going to find a model with the same cartoon features as original Ashley
While I think the switch to photorealism in RE7 was good enough to excuse it, I do miss the “anime-esque realism” they went for in the original series sometimes.
