Leon requires a lot more work to get into his character because you learn more about him through other means than himself. He's actually really tragic when you collect all the dialog (sonia mentioning leon practically raised hop, random npc stating they sell cape replicas but no one can lift it because its so heavy, his trainer cards, his lack of enthusiasm for hop being misread, the way rose speaks about him, etc.)
I only really got into Leon as a stand alone because i went digging to try to understand hop because i felt like my hate for him was misplaced. turned out though it was spot on. little fucker....
