Introduction
The Game
Resident Evil HD REMASTER (originally released in Japan as Biohazard) is a port of the GameCube remake released in 2002. While extremely faithful to the original Resident Evil released for the Playstation in 1996, there were a lot of new additions that carried over to this 2015 version.

✪★☭☣ Your enemy 21 May @ 10:41am 
I think you don't need to play each character 2 times to achieve "Passion for Fashion".
I used to play this game before buying it on Steam so I chose Jill and easy mode first to get used to it again, then I chose Jill again on normal difficulty to unlock infinite rocket launcher, then I chose Chris on hard mode, finally I chose Jill to play on Invisible Enemy. All in the same save file and unlock the achievement.

So this is way late but Nirim: There should be a total of 6 costumes for the steam version of the game. Jill's standard, BSAA, Carter, and RE 3 costume. Chris should have standard, BSAA, Mexican, and Code Veronica. The standard BSAA outfits DO NOT count towards the achievement so it is likely that you simply need to complete the game one more time with each character to get it.

I don't have the achievement yet either but I experienced that on PS4 (I think it was... that or Xbox).

WARNING:
Whatever you do and whichever mods/add-ons/conversions you might have installed, absolutely do NOT apply/enable/use spider-removing mod until/before you've obtained the "spider sense" achievement first , as it REQUIRES of you to defeat Black Tiger giant spider boss and if you have a spider-removing mod running when you're entering the Black Tiger's room/arena, you will actually completely skip that section altogether!

For some reason, Fashion for passion does not seem to trigger for me.
I've got 4 different outfits for both Jill and Chris, both on starting a new game, and in the closet room...
Any tips?

Why the fuck does CQC FTW forces you to NOT use the Kerosene??? Like I get you're killing Crimson Heads with it, but it's an unorthodox way of killing enemies regardless. All Capcom had to do was add a few more words to the Achievement's description, that's it, I just did the entirety of Chris' campaign for no reason due to their blunder, screw Crapcom.
Shrimp 13 Apr, 2022 @ 12:44pm 
I agree with Button Eyes, I accidentally played with Chris on a separate file and even though I beat the game twice with him, I didn't get the achievement.
Button Eyes 27 Feb, 2022 @ 6:10am 
Hey, I think you should mention "Passion for Fashion" has to be done on the same slot. I have a slot with both Chris' costume and a separate one where both Jill's are unlocked, it didn't count.
El Rivio 21 Oct, 2021 @ 7:52pm 
Can I get the hard difficulty achievement using the rocket launcher?
Agalest 10 Jan, 2021 @ 11:36pm 
Going through this game now. Excellent guide.

One thing to point out the Invisible Enemy Mode is unlocked by beating the game on Hard, not necessarily on Real Survival mode. I just beat it on hard by I haven't done Real Survival mode yet and that mode unlocked for me.

Some tips for both Chri's Achievements in 1 Playthrough:

Go for "The Nightmare Ends" and save the game after you kill the Tyrant (as soon as Rebecca says that she will autodestroy the Lab).

Save Jill and make sure that the final boss doesn't kill Rebecca to get "The Nightmare Ends".

Load the game and this time don't save Jill. During the final boss, don't shot him. Let him kill Rebecca first and then you get "Every Man for Himself".
