I feel like more jackie content would also underscore what I THINK they were going for.
Jackie is willing to DIE to escape the slums. Becoming a legend isn't about fame, it's about securing a new life for him, you, and Misty. This last big score is something he's giving you because he thinks its the key to some nebulous dream for you all. Having that emphasized would be pretty good I think and make him giving you the chip (despite the fact it won't help him in the slightest) more meaningful.
It's also doubly notable because its clear Misty is fine where she is.
Mind you, I wish we had more Evelyn content too.
A lot comes down to us wishing we'd got more, especially more establishing what they went for, eh?
Personally i've to praise a lot of the existing writing in terms of characterizations. But it feels wierdly thin at times.
