Why did we get Quentin and not Nancy Thompson?

Does anyone know why we got Quentin from the remake instead of Nancy Thompson? I don't know how Quentin represents the a elm street franchise.

    Simple answer is likely the cost to license the character, and all parties to agree. Its an old franchise, so its likely harder to even track down everyone who would need buy-in on using Nancy.

    The devs themselves were asked this the stream after, and they pretty much said they found Quentin to be the more unique and interesting character from the remake movie, plus let's be fair..if it had'nt been for Quentin, Nancy would have been freddies plaything forever...

    well it should of been from the ORIGINAL not the remake anyway not like they use the remake for halloween Michael Myers and Laurie Strode and we all must agree Nancy Thompson from the Original elm street was a bad ass.

    I'm not going lie if we talking about the remake Nancy really didn't do crap.

    Kris did most of the work until she died and then it was pretty much Quentin doing most of the work

    i kinda wish they had done original franchise Freddy (Robert Englund) because the remake is trash. costs too much to license them though. I also would've preferred Nancy from the original, but mostly Freddy is the one I'm disappointed about.

    Honestly, honestly, there is no difference between Freddys. Its the same guy with charred skin and striped shirt.

    Look at Quentin's face, would you want that to happen Nancy?

    Glad she didn't get obliterated.

    I wonder why every single DLC survivor looks absolutely terrible. I understand the license thing for real people, but they could create better faces.

    Because this Freddy is from the remake, Nancy in the new Universe isn't at "Dream Warrior" status. She never will be due to poor handling of writing (no one wants to see a franchise based on a pedo.)

    Nightmare on Elmstreet would need to be rebooted AGAIN and left ambiguous over the motivation his (Freddy's) child-killing like the old series, and thus Nancy's power/usefullness could scale accordingly... Nancy was borderline useless in the new universe because shes supposed to be the lil vic in the tower. Boring. Quentin had the smarts and the skills to survive, Nancy was just meat.
