So why was Kenzi even added for?

[RomireTwitch]

The entire story is focused on Gat, So why the hell was Kenzie even involved in this xpac?

[DrakeDaVar]

CO-OP

[goishen]

To appeal to a female market and a male market that doesn't wanna sit there and watch Gat's ass for six hours.

My question is why Kinzie and not Shaundi...?

Yeah, I get that, but it could've easily been Shaundi's birthday instead, right? I mean, I don't mind reallyy, just wondering why the more established character got passed over for the newer one...I'm betting if Shuandi was still voiced by Eliza Dushku, it'd be her instead of Kinzie.

Kinzie makes for a better contrast. Shaundi is almost as psychotic as Gat, and yet heavier on the anger issues, whereas Kinzie has the naive/socially awkward thing and is actually having fun.

Because Kinzie is a furry.

[✨ ジェニイ姫 ✨]

Because shaundi is not fun. ever.

I agree with this.
While i really like SR3/4 Shaundi as a character, she's basically a angrier female version of Gat. The pairing Gat/Kinzie is a lot more awkward since the 2 have nothing in common and that makes it funny. Those two singing musicals together? It's hilarious.

Because the dev didn't want the backlash on twitter and the forum full of "why can't I play as a female" and "the developer is so sexist" threads.

[Zarakaï]

Yeah from what I've understand, most people just hate the new Shaundi ( in SR3 and 4 ), she starts acting like an angry ♥♥♥♥♥ after Gat's "death", but in fact the audio logs we can find in SR4 seems to point out that she is deeply in love with him. It would have been fun to have her in GooH becoming all jealous because of Jezebel, but maybe that's not what the devs wanted. Maybe they have something else planned in SR 5 for Gat and Shaundi.

Kinzie on the other hand, as other people said, is really appreciated by the fans, and they needed a character for Coop. Saint's Row is maybe the "fairest" game regarding the male/female ratio, both in main and secondary characters, and also villains, so they put the most liked female. I just think it's too bad that they did put Gat and Kinzie with simple clothes, as there is no customization they could have gone crazy and stay with the "hell" theme and give them some badass hellish costumes.

Cause Kinzie is awesome haters! Is my fav character, everyone has a fav saint they chose Johnny and Kinzie they coulda chose anyone but Im glad it was kinzie.

[Cute little strawberry ♥]

Because weird guys have a thing for her and didn't care about the fact that she has nothing to do with guns and fights. Oh and now suddenly she can even RKO enemies. Weirdos made her popular I don't understand why

Why cant she RKO whatever that means, im guessing some kind of knockout, keep in mind she is FBI she can take anyone down. Just dont mess with her wifi. I think all the characters have fans, my other fav is Washington.

I dont think people are weird for liking the characters. the characters have personalities their well developed not just vomited into the game like in that tomb raider reboot with personalities paper thin, this is the row, and their personalities have to match the epic awesomeness of our beloved Saints.

Why not? She's a fan favourite character, along with Gat. I appreciate being able to use her.
