I would say that all the ladies in the picture, for better or worse, have or had some influence on Frank. That alone actually makes it reasonable for me.
Doesn't answer my question though. Why would a dead person be in the image walking down the road?

I'm sure his mother had a huge influence on him...we don't see her in the image though do we? Neither do we see Meiko's parents....

Weird hill to die on.

This is a home-screen image. Jess is an integral part of the story. What other reason do you need?

She's there because the dev liked the idea of "hiding" her and the others in that image. Most people (me until the first post) won't even notice them in the background.

Personally, I find it stranger that the judge's daughter is in this picture. If you want to be romantic or philosophical, then (ignoring the judge's daughter), the other side of the street can be seen as the side that is home to the characters who had significant influence in Frank's old life, while the side with Frank is his current life and all the people who are currently shaping him. Jess sitting on the bench could be seen as waiting for him in the afterlife so that they can meet again one day.

Yes, I am weird.

And the road could be interpreted at life itself...

Will it make sense? Possible not, but if CNG would write it, it would be what would be canon and what the games become.
While I, too, dislike the direction the story took, I accept that the author of the game has the final say in what he (or she) wants to create. And now that the developer has decided to make changes, I accept that, also. Personally, my desire is that the game gets completed and that it turns out to be something with which the developer is satisfied. Sometimes, I have the impression that fans of the game are more interested in having the developer create what they want instead of what he or she wants, and that seems both egocentric and self-indulgent to me.

But hey, I'm just a guy on the internet. My opinion is no more important than anyone else's.

What would be the largest issue you have with the story so far? Just out of pure curiosity?
