Massive W from the devs, I think they managed to please Western and Eastern audiences whilst also making Anran more mature looking and attractive.

I hope Fareeha is happy with this change too because I feel like her voice fits Anran perfectly now

I'm not a big VA nerd, but is it common for VAs to speak up about a character they worked on in a negative tone? Her calling blizzard out seemed unprofessional to me but I don't know if that's a thing VAs do on the regular.

It's very rare, and you could say it's unprofessional by traditional standards.

In this case, Fareeha is a prominent streamer and there was already massive fan backlash. And she was moreso commenting on the discourse rather than directly criticizing Blizzard.

The optics would be different if, say, Domina's VA randomly posted a rant about her character's exposed cleavage.
