Girls' Frontline 2's Character 95 Voice Actress Jumped Ship to Punishing: Gray Raven — Players: "Even With Raymond Deleted, She Was Never Yours"

So what if they deleted the Raymond content? The voice actress dipped first — and that's the real kill shot. Liu Zhixiao, the Chinese VA behind Girls' Frontline 2's character 95, is now voicing Selina in Punishing: Gray Raven — a universally beloved, ultra-devoted "waifu" character. This cross-game contrast absolutely obliterated whatever dignity GFL2 players had left.

Let's rewind to the infamous "Raymond Incident" that rocked GFL2's launch. Players discovered that character 95 — who shared a deep emotional bond with the Commander (the player) in the original Girls' Frontline — had been written into a suspiciously intimate storyline with an NPC named Raymond in the sequel. This suspected NTR (Netorare, a trope where your love interest gets "stolen") content triggered a massive community meltdown. Players accused the devs of backstabbing loyal fans and butchering a classic character. Although the developers eventually scrubbed the Raymond-related story content, the damage was already done — once trust is shattered, good luck piecing it back together.

This NGA post cuts straight to the bone with one savage observation: "Judging by the story timeline, after 'Secondhand Smoke' hitches a ride back, the Commander's pushing 50 — so she's just here to cash out his retirement fund, huh?" The implication? After running off with Raymond, 95 crawling back to the Commander is nothing more than a gold-digging move. The comments section delivered even harder.

One user sarcastically quipped, "Hurry, drop a 'Loyal and True' skin for her lmao" — a backhanded compliment suggesting 95 needs cosmetic proof of her "faithfulness." Another went straight for the jugular: "At this point, just let go, bro." And the most devastating jab of all: "My bad for blaming you — turns out you really were loyal all along" — dripping with irony, since in GFL2's storyline, 95's "loyalty" went to Raymond, not the player.

But what really blew up this post was the discussion about VA Liu Zhixiao. Players noted: "Now I finally know the name of that gorgeous voice actress — her original performance was genuinely heartfelt, the talent is definitely there." It turns out this VA voiced not just 95 in GFL2, but also the fan-favorite Selina in Punishing: Gray Raven. One player added: "Liu Zhixiao also voiced Selina in PGR — that character is pure ML (Master Love / devoted to the player) content. Sweetness level is easily top-tier in PGR, and her character archetype even has some overlap with 95 — both are cultured, musically talented women."

Same voice. Same type of character. But one got saddled with an NTR storyline that destroyed her image, while the other is the poster child for unwavering devotion. The contrast hit GFL2 players so hard they collectively lost it. "The fact that the talent is actually there makes it even more painful," one commenter lamented. Others found peace: "It's not like VAs only work on one game — you can look forward to hearing her in future titles." Some even celebrated: "Welcome to Kowloong Metropolis as the chief — become the ultimate succubus!" — praising her PGR character to the heavens.

The comments also revealed some fun tidbits about the VA herself: she does irregular livestreams on Bilibili under her real name, and fans describe her as "a 'female rogue' whose personality doesn't match that sweet voice at all" — apparently she's a self-proclaimed social menace (social terrorist, that is) on stream. Her livestreams mostly sync with PGR version updates. A talented VA with personality to match.

One final bit of spice from the thread: someone pointed out that a Weibo influencer was out there promoting GFL2 — suggesting that even after a controversy this catastrophic, the marketing machine grinds on, even as the game's reputation lies in ruins among its core playerbase.

From the Raymond NTR scandal to the VA jumping ship, GFL2's saga is a masterclass in how to alienate your most loyal players. Botched character writing first, voice actress defecting to a rival game second — all that's left for GFL2 players is one piece of advice: "At this point, just let go."
