History Trivia / GirlsFrontline

** In stories where Griffin and Sangvis Ferri T-Dolls are working together, G36 and Agent are often portrayed as being rivals due to sharing similar [[{{Meido}} attire]] and [[BeleaguredAssistant personalities]]. [[spoiler:Marrying a Protocol Assimilated Agent will have her suggest ([[JustJokingJustificaion jokingly, she claims]]) that you get rid of "The Other Head Maid". And just to avoid any confusion, G36 is the only Griffin T-Doll who wears a maid outfit as part of her normal attire]].

* {{Jossed}}: Despite a popular fan theory, Mica Team has revealed that A-Dolls and T-Dolls do not possess an artificial womb to help them get pregnant and give birth to human children.

** Suisai, the illustrator responsible for FAL and Five-Seven, [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/_711.png posted this image]] around the game's first anniversary. The short-haired girl has since made it into the game as Ballista, but with Suisai's untimely (and rather hostile) departure from MICA in early 2019, the maroon-haired girl - possibly meant to be FN SCAR, who has been hinted to be another member of the FN team [[TheGhost but never actually appeared]] - may never see the light of the day.

* AscendedFanon: SPAS-12's name (Sabrina) and her riot shield is canonized in her summer cafe story, along with hints of her past before joining G&K. See WordOfSaintPaul below for more details.

* TheWikiRule: [[RuleOfThree Three of them]], even: [[http://girls-frontline-english.wikia.com/wiki/Girls_Frontline_English_Wiki Girls Frontline English Wikia]], [[https://iopwiki.com/wiki/Girls'_Frontline_Wiki IOP Wiki]], and [[http://girlsfrontline.fandom.com/wiki/Girls_Frontline_Wikia Girls Frontline Wiki.]] There's also [[https://gamepress.gg/girlsfrontline/ GamePress's wiki]], whose editors are generally better about keeping up-to-date with features that drop on the English version as they come out.

* NoDubForYou: The game only has a Japanese dub, even in its home country of China, despite having a "Chinese CV" listing in the T-Doll Index (which, so far, has always been left blank). The "Healing Chapter" and "Madness Chapter" animated shorts were the first time some members of the cast ''finally'' got Chinese actresses.

** During the game's early days, circa early-mid 2016, there were plans to expand into the Japanese market with a server for that country, and not only was partial voice acting in Japanese added, (for all version) but a timed-exclusive T-doll for that version, based on the Nambu Type 100 submachine gun, was drawn up for it. Shortly afterward, [=MICA=] had a falling out with the company that would've hosted the Japanese version ([=YoStar=], who would later host the Japanese and english versions of ''VideoGame/AzurLane''), and would not consider starting a Japanese server again until early 2018, with a beta for it officially starting on June 29th the same year, including having the Type 100 be the face of that version. However the "English" title for the Japanese version was retitled as Dolls' Frontline (ドールズフロントライン) as [=YoStar=] still held the rights to the Japanese use of the name "Girls' Frontline". Furthermore, to avoid confusion, the "Shoujo Senzen!" soundbite does not play in the splash screen for the Japanese version.
** The Daewoo K7 submachine gun was due for introduction for the CN/TW/KR servers along with 4 other T-Dolls (Daewoo K5 pistol, [=CBJ-MS=] [=SMG=], [=H&K XM8=], and Desert Tech [=MDR=]) in the middle of March 2018, and all 5 of these T-dolls had full art available and full profiles written up. However, the K7 was pulled at the very last minute following massive backlash from Korean players, and it wasn't about the art or anything stat-related. To elaborate, when her full profile and art were put up a few days prior, Korean players recognized the artist as having retweeted content posted by Korean pro-ultra-radical feminists, such as those from the infamous "Megalia" group, and their outrage and backlash practically forced [=MICA=] to take action and pull [=K7=], out of fear that this ruckus would catch the unwanted attention of the Ministry Of Cultural Affairs in their native China and possibly lead to serious consequences if they intervened, until they can figure out exactly how to handle this debacle.

** The 3* SMG [=KGP-9=] was scrubbed from the game due to her design being almost a one-to-one trace of Poharan from ''VideoGame/BladeAndSoul''. Because of this, the developers have purged nearly everything related to her from the game's files, despite some of them being datamined as far back as Operation Singularity.
** Suisai, the illustrator responsible for FAL and Five-Seven, [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/_711.png posted this image]] around the game's first anniversary. The short-haired girl has since made it into the game as Ballista, but with Suisai's untimely (and rather hostile) departure from MICA in early 2019, the maroon-haired girl may never see the light of the day.

** [=G36=] suffers from hyperopia. Her mean-looking face is just her squinting to focus on nearby objects. The glasses she wears in her Petit Waitress outfit were given by the Commander. She also likes to sing when she is alone. The ''VisualNovel/VA11HALLA'' event would go on to canonize 36's eyesight problems.

* PromotedFanboy: [=AC130=], the artist of the official [=4koma=], was just another fan artist until MICA Team got wind of it, although some changes were made from the original (namely, [=M1918 BAR=] [[https://safebooru.donmai.us/posts/2669856 exclaiming]] [[Memes/KantaiCollection "poi"]] at the end of a sentence just because she and Yuudachi both have hair flaps). The artist even has their own T-Doll, [[Characters/GirlsFrontlineHandguns GSh-18]], appropriately awarded when buying 5 volumes of the [=4koma=].

** This game lifts a number of gameplay mechanics straight from ''VideoGame/KantaiCollection''. Gacha rolls can be influenced by the number of materials used, players can boost stat gains from [[RelationshipValues affection]] by [[MarryThemAll marrying them]] for [[BribingYourWayToVictory a small price per T-Doll]], and both games have "fairies" as {{attack drone}}s.

** Numerous instances of drama involving artists, ranging from fans being dicks (DYJ leaving the art community and social networks after fans accused him of hogging the alternate skin spots for Springfield and [=WA2000=]; he later came back to draw Team DEFY, but lays very low on social media), unfortunate circumstances (NIXOO being ''ran over by a car'' and still managing to finish [=HK416=]'s anniversary dress while in the hospital), old rivalries heating up (Rei [artist for Lee-Enfield] quitting upon learning Nishihara [artist for Contender] was hired, due to Pixiv-related squabbles), plagiarism (SKY, the artist of Micro Uzi, [=ARX160=] and KS-23, being on the receiving end of a plagiarism case unrelated to ''Girls' Frontline''), inflated egos (Kishiyo leaving in a huff after learning that Type 95's VA wouldn't be the one he wanted and being told to deal with it by Mica's higher-ups, with some accusations of [[OnlySixFaces Same Face Syndrome]] by Suisai [hypocritical considering he has similar issues] not helped by how similar Type 95 looks to Kishiyo's later designs for Atago and Takao from ''Azur Lane''), artists being overall awful people (Horimori [artist for PPK] convincing a fan to let her stay at his place for a while, trashing the place before disappearing; Horimori claims however that said fan sweet-talked her into moving in before bumping into his girlfriend) to outright slander (Suisai claiming that Yuzhong hired his incompetent cousin as middle management and bought himself a Ferrari with company money, while the rest of the employees only got Starbucks gift cards due to said cousin running the company into the ground, which is refuted by other MICA Team staff). Some of these resulted in certain illustrators refusing to work, or being barred from working, on ''Girls' Frontline'' again.

** The official reason for the lack of costumes on recurring story characters (AR Team and 404, minus AR-15's Literary Girl outfit) was that the developers didn't want to give them anything new unless it was something related to a significant story event. With the release of both groups' [[https://danbooru.donmai.us/data/__st_ar_15_m4_sopmod_ii_m4a1_m16a1_and_ro635_girls_frontline__c7d75c22f309eb8c305d907173c6561c.jpg 4th anniversary dresses]] and the [[PlayboyBunny Rabbit Wonderland]] [[https://danbooru.donmai.us/data/__hk416_ump45_ump9_g11_st_ar_15_and_5_more_girls_frontline_drawn_by_starshadowmagician__597b204552b6037cc9d625ec603c9f5e.png set of costumes]], it's been revealed that every single one was illustrated by a different artist (two in [=M4A1=]'s case), so one can only assume some [[ExecutiveMeddling internal squabbling]] was the real reason for their lack of costumes. This is support by news that their then current artist Infukun had quit MICA at some point (albeit unlike most examples above, Infunkun's departure was smooth and left him in good terms with Mica).

** Tech-savvy users perusing through the Chinese 2.030 client discovered assets for [[VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles Isara]], [[VideoGame/ValkyriaChroniclesII Aliasse, Juliana]], and [[VideoGame/ValkyriaChroniclesIII Riela]]. Shortly after, it was revealed that [[https://www.reddit.com/r/girlsfrontline/comments/9vujyy/valkyria_chronicles_collab_confirmed_to_be/ a planned Valkyria Chronicles collaboration had fallen through]] due to MICA getting screwed out of the deal by SEGA.

%%** The game's lore is based and set in the same universe of Mica Team's first game VideoGame/CodenameBakeryGirl which cause some problems since Bakery Girl is set in an AlternateHistory where the Soviet Union never collapsed even though many T-Dolls in Girls Frontline use post Cold War guns with one T-Dolls having the flag of the Russian Federation on her uniform. The Volume 2 Confidential Files and the upcoming Bakery Girl remake was supposed to to fix this by retconning and explained the Soviet Union did collapsed just like RealLife and reform later sometime before the events of Girls Frontline.... only for the story content in Operation Isomer to contradict the lore again when one character, Gilda Ulrich, reveals she's from West Germany and another character is revealed to be an East German Stasi agent!

* ScheduleSlip: The ''VideoGame/{{DJMAX}}'' ''Respect'' collaboration event "Glory Day", at least for the English and Japanese servers. When the event made its debut in April 2018, these servers were missing two gameplay mechanics the event utilized, Fairies and yellow KCCO-controlled nodes ([[https://en.gfwiki.com/wiki/Preiya_%26_Camilla one event Fairy]] has a different buff when situated on such a node). The event coincided with ''[=DJMAX=] Respect''[='=]s release of their ''Girls Frontline'' DLC, but the developers didn't want to jump the gun with an EarlyBirdCameo with either issue, unlike the later ''VisualNovel/VA11HALLA'' event. Operation Singularity, which started more than a year later on November 2019, finally introduced the KCCO (and their yellow nodes) as a faction, setting the stage for the crossover. The collab may have also been delayed due to [[ScrewedByTheLawyers licensing issues]], since the event makes liberal use of the series' music, for obvious reasons. Thanks to all of these roadbumps, it took until April ''2020'' for any inkling of an English version to show up, and by then ''DJMAX'' had already re-released ''Respect'' as ''Respect V'' (ironically not renewing their ''Girls Frontline'' DLC).

** The first CN beta testing phase experienced an unplanned downtime due to server overload. Reportedly, this was the catalyst that severed the partnership between Yuzhong (head of MICA Team) and Yao Meng (head of the now-defunct Array Networks, now holds a position in Yostar), with both sides slinging accusations of incompetence at each other over social media. This has sparked a VERY bitter rivalry between them and some fans.

** The global release was hampered due to the sketchy practices of the ad agency Mica hired for Western audiences, using stills from other games (such as ''VideoGame/NierAutomata'') and stolen artworks (including the infamous "Agent 47 holding [=WA2000=]" one), leading viewers to see the game as yet another softcore hentai game or full of stolen assets. Word of mouth and surge in fanarts over Western imageboards worked, but Mica is since then very wary about advertising ''Girls' Frontline'' to Western players.

Some of these resulted in certain illustrators refusing/barred to work on ''Girls' Frontline'' again.
*** Suisai is a very infamous figure in the whole gacha industry for that and other incidents with suspicions he used his founding artist position to his advantage (considering a number of his creations had their own subplot going; making his own sameface problems rather clear). It's possible that he might have had a hand in the Kishiyo incident Even his departure was troublesome as upon finding out that MICA was going to restructure to be more of a proper company, he RageQuit, leaving some spiteful posts, which in turn caused another MICA developer to spill some private details on the development of the Bakery girl remake (becoming more of a New X-Com like game), this in turn would spark Yuzhong to fire both and some other behind the scenes stuff.
** The whole debacle involving Deadpapillo, a writer Mica contracted to write the 2016 Halloween event script as well as paid fanfiction. Deadpapillo was let go after negative player feedback about said script and went low until Anime Expo 2018 in Los Angeles, where he gave an interview to Gamepress posing as a Mica representative. Mica quickly warned Gamepress that he faked his credentials and started digging only to find out his many other shenanigans including using his false position at Mica to sexually harass female players, sexist comments on social media, plagiarizing fanfictions and promoting a '''very''' controversial hentai doujin about [[UnfortunateImplications Kar98k and Negev in Auschwitz]], causing them to promptly cut him off for good and issue an official communication about the situation, leading Gamepress to also apologize for nnot double-checking their sources.

** AR Team was originally slated to be composed of six T-Dolls. The sixth member, Mk 18 Mod 0, was envisioned as a SOP II's sister, but she was eventually axed after it was decided to make AR Team a five-man squad. Her design was eventually reused (with some alterations) in ''VideoGame/{{Arknights}}'' as W. Even before that, Lowlight Kirineko had illustrated her and SOP II together [[https://www.weibo.com/5554228458/ElA3emp5J as a gift for a fan]]. Notice that she is already labelled as "W" in the sketch.

Furthermore, to avoid confusion, the "Shoujo Senzen!" soundbite does not play in the splash screen for the Japanese version.

** Tech-savvy users perusing through the Chinese 2.030 client discovered assets for [[VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles Isara]], [[VideoGame/ValkyriaChroniclesII Aliasse, Juliana]], and [[VideoGame/ValkyriaChroniclesIII Riela]]. Shortly after, it was revealed that [[https://www.reddit.com/r/girlsfrontline/comments/9vujyy/valkyria_chronicles_collab_confirmed_to_be/ a planned Valkyria Chronicles collaboration had fallen through]] due to MICA getting screwed out of the deal by SEGA in pretty much the same way in which [=YoStar=] screwed them over.

** Numerous dramas involving artists, ranging from fans being dicks (DYJ leaving the art community and social networks after fans accused him of hogging the alternate skin spots for Springfield and [=WA2000=]), unfortunate circumstances (NIXOO being ''ran over by a car'' and still managing to finish [=HK416=]'s anniversary dress while in the hospital), old rivalries heating up (Rei (Lee-Enfield) quitting upon learning Nishihara (Contender) was hired due to Pixiv-related squabbles), plagiarism (SKY, the artist of Micro Uzi, [=ARX160=] and KS-23, being on the receiving end of a plagiarism case unrelated to ''Girls' Frontline''), self-inflated egos (Kishiyo leaving in a huff after learning that Type 95's VA wouldn't be the one he wanted and being told to deal with it by Mica's higher-ups, with some accusations of Same Face Syndrome by Suisai), artists being overall awful people (Horimori convincing a fan to stay at his place for a while, trashing the place before disappearing; Horimori claims however that said fan sweet-talked her into moving in before bumping into his girlfriend) to outright slander (Suisai claiming that Yuzhong hired his incompetent cousin as middle management and bought himself a Ferrari with company money while the rest of the employees only got Starbucks gift cards due to said cousin running the company into the ground, which is refuted by other MICA Team staff). Some of these resulted in certain illustrators refusing/barred to work on ''Girls' Frontline'' again.

&&** The game's lore is based and set in the same universe of Mica Team's first game VideoGame/CodenameBakeryGirl which cause some problems since Bakery Girl is set in an AlternateHistory where the Soviet Union never collapsed even though many T-Dolls in Girls Frontline use post Cold War guns with one T-Dolls having the flag of the Russian Federation on her uniform.
