Urania (NA Lipius) + Loffy back in their pirate power couple days... I JUST WANT THEM TO BE HAPPY... in a non-driven-insane kind of way...

I just finished leveling my Soul Eater until 90 and got to meet these 2 cuties in Anu Arendel... Seriously DN. Stop torturing my fragile heart with your sad storyline....................... crap I wanna continue my Adept’s story but it got stuck at Memoria quest -__________-;;; DNINA fix ittttttttttt!!!

mindbending ahead

I have noticed people were questioning China's voice acting choice for Lipius (12:07).

Me and certain someone did a bit of research, because we though that maybe in the original script Lipius was wrote as "Loffy's lover" and the translators for SEA and NA jumped conclusions and wrote "Loffy's girlfriend."

And it was true:

Korean =연인 Japanese and Chinese = 恋人

So we were like, "oh, seems like Lipius was a guy all along."

However, other lines debunked that quickly:

그 여잔 차가웠지만 아주 아름다웠거든

여잔 (yuh jan) = She

あいつは冷たい女だったけど、かなりの美人だったッス

あいつ (aitsu) = He (but can be she)

女 (onna) = Woman

美人 = (feminine) beauty

Someone else suggested that maybe a trans or a crossdresser and I was like "yeah one of those it's maybe the correct answer" but then I remembered that she probably has her voice overs already in the client.

Aaaaand this isn't exactly a girly-girl voice but it is undoubtedly a female voice and a female voice actor.

In conclusion: Yes, Lipius is a girl. However I hope that our fellow Chinese players give a warm welcome to Lipius, Loffy's MtoF trans girlfriend.

In some music and sound studio in China there is a voice acting director that probably got a big scold over this, and maybe some voice actor is unfortunately about to lose his recently acquired job.

Unless Shanda says "well whatever" and leave it like that.
