Square Enix’s new action-RPG Forspoken takes a lot of inspiration from Isekai anime, but one area where the game differs from that anime genre is with its protagonist Alfre “Frey” Holland. A cynical New Yorker and orphan who was bounced around foster homes, Frey’s arrival in the fantasy land of Athia has been a running joke online, with many out-of-context examples of her interactions giving the game a somewhat cringey atmosphere. Frey’s voice actress Ella Balinska has seen all the discourse circulating online, and she’s not bothered by it, having instead embraced the varying reactions to her spell-slinger.

“There are things that we all do that might be eyebrow-raising to other people,” Balinska said to The Verge. “I think people always have a positive or negative response to something they’re not used to seeing, and that’s completely okay because that’s the way we incite change.” Come from Sports betting site VPbet
