Girls' Frontline 2's Controversial NPC Raymond Is BACK — New Story Has Him Riding With the Girls While Daily Revenue Tanks to $2K, Leakers Say He's Getting a Feminine Redesign

After a brief hiatus, the old "friend" of the Girls' Frontline 2: Exilium (少前2追放) community — Raymond, the infamously controversial male NPC — has made his grand return. And this time, he's not even trying to hide it. New story content shows him throwing what looks like a party with female T-Dolls on the player's vehicle. The original poster shared screenshots with a scathing caption: "Enjoying Monsoon Band partying on YOUR ride? Enjoying the Thunder Emperor reincarnating and bringing his harem onto YOUR vehicle? It's really season after season of Monsoon, thunder after thunder of Raymond." A top-voted reply piled on: "I told you Raymond wasn't a one-and-done NPC — he's here to marinate the secondhand smoke sisters permanently."

This isn't the first time Raymond has set the community ablaze. Ever since the initial story event where this male NPC appeared to develop romantic overtones with female T-Dolls — essentially "stealing" the player's waifus — his every reappearance has been like tossing a match into a powder keg. Some players have reached the acceptance stage: "It's broken — I'm already getting used to it. Hearing about Raymond now just feels... expected." Another veteran player delivered a devastating one-liner: "When I see new T-Doll character art now, I don't check the oppai first — I check the belly. Anyone else?" The implication: they've lost all confidence in the game's future.

The numbers don't lie. Players point out that after the Type 95 event initially boosted revenue, the game's daily income has been in freefall — tanking to a mere $2,000 per day. One commenter took direct aim at the developer: "Yu Zhong (derisively nicknamed 'Xi Xi Zhong' by splitting his surname 翀 into parts) still can't figure out why Type 95 was a hit and then revenue dropped to $2K a day." Another piled on with biting sarcasm: "Community manager hands are still too weak — strengthen the censorship!" — a jab at the studio prioritizing damage control over actually fixing the game.

Story content has been gutted too. Players noted that the first Type 95 event originally had voice lines during testing, but they were emergency-removed before launch. No subsequent events have included any voice acting. A reply cut to the bone: "There's no story left, and you want voice lines?" Another added that even the "10-minute story" segments managed to deliver something offensive — meaning the devs can still find ways to disappoint despite the bar being underground.

The juiciest morsel comes from a leaker ("uncle" in Chinese gaming slang) who claims Raymond may be getting a feminine redesign — essentially turning him into a "shota-trap" style character to sneak him back in. This hasn't been confirmed by the studio, but the community has already erupted. Additionally, dataminers have reportedly identified a mysterious character called "Fei" (绯) as CZ75. As for why the studio seems so dead-set on keeping Raymond around, one player posed the ultimate conspiracy theory: "Did Yu Zhong sign some deal with mysterious funders requiring him to hit certain keywords in the storyline?" — tongue-in-cheek, but it captures the community's genuine bewilderment at the studio's decision-making.

Looking at the overall vibe, the community has shifted from outright fury to a kind of morbid entertainment. One player predicted there won't be any truly explosive drama for a while — the next big meltdowns probably won't hit until May or later. But perhaps the most iconic summary came from another commenter: "Every time Raymond tries to make a comeback, the Big Boss (referring to the studio's head) elbows him back down at the last second. Say thank you to the Big Boss." In the world of Girls' Frontline 2, the popcorn never runs out.
