Do VAs influence you to start an Otome?

Well, I guess i'd have to already be semi-interested, but there's some VAs you see and just can't turn down. Saw an all-timer cast in Le Mirage Mystique with nohubiko okamoto (my fav, because i'm basic) & Hiro Shimono.... How am i meant to resist!?
 
Voice actors are important to me.
Even if the illustrations or story aren't quite to my taste,
those things become trivial if I like the voice actors and their performances.
 
Not really, to be honest! 😅 I don't really have a favourite VA, so seeing a certain name in the cast doesn't really make me want to play a game.

I actually like it when games use different VAs and I get to hear new voices. When I keep hearing the same VAs over and over again, it starts to feel a bit repetitive, so I appreciate it when games bring in different people.
 
These days not really, but I did go through a phase where I played literally every otome game that had KENN in it. It resulted in a terrible burnout after going through a string of mediocre titles, so never doing that again. 😅
 
I also place great importance on the voice cast when deciding which games to buy; in fact, I first got hooked on otome games because a favorite voice actor was featured in one. While I've played so many games since then that I sometimes buy them for other reasons now, the cast remains the main thing I look at.
 
Almost never, I don't have VA bias. While some VA's I prefer over others, it's never a deciding factor for me to get a game.
 
Va indeed one of thing I consider when playing, but... I think as long as I like the visual and story that's still okay
 
Definitely. I've started an otome game just because I saw that one of my favorite VAs was in it. Sometimes seeing a familiar voice is enough to make me curious about the game, especially if they're voicing a character that looks interesting.
 
I don't usually do research that deep on a game. I play because the plot seems interesting, or the art is pretty and such. But if I get wind of my favorites being in a game (or even an anime!), it's an instant-buy/play!
 
It's important! I think it's the role of breathing life into the characters.
So please, don't do anything that could be a problem...🙇 I want to play it again, but I can't!😭😭
 
Absolutely! I mean I would not NOT play a game if i don't spot a favorite VA since I like to try every otome release but it would definitely motivate me to play the game faster if Yuki Kaji, Akira Ishida, and Tetsuya Kakihara voice one of the LIs.

Absolutely! A stellar voice cast is often the primary reason I pick up a title. Hearing legendary voices—especially Tsuda Kenjiro's deep, melancholic tone—instantly elevates the characters and guarantees an emotionally rich experience.
 
Yes! Most definetely... i cannot remember names for the life of mine, but when i see some recognizable names i def play them!
 
I became interested in otome games because of VAs. That said, it's not as if I won't play a game just because it doesn't feature a VA I like.
 
One of the reasons I play Ikemen Prince is that my LI, Chevalier Michel, is voiced by Ono Yuki-san 🥰
 
Yes and somehow most of the VA which catch my absolute type and taste its kinda rare😭💔💔💔like Megumi ogata, or Toki sunichi.. and many more other VA which rarely to be main character love interest in otomegame

Yes for me. But i'm fine if my favorite VA doesn't voicing any character inside the game. Because i knowing other seiyuu works from other title too and end up as liking them too. I mean what can you expect if your favorite VA is rarely voicing any otome game anymore :cry: and then there's Uchiyama Kouki who absolutely won't voicing any role in otome games.
 
I also tend to keep an eye on otome games featuring Kaji Yuki and Kimura Ryohei! I feel like VAs can have such a huge impact on how a LI comes to life. Their performances can convey a character's emotions in a way that text alone sometimes can't, and they really help you feel more immersed in the story.

Nicola is actually my favorite in Piofiore, and I think Kimura Ryohei's performance made his emotions come across so well. It definitely played a big part in why he ended up becoming my favorite!
 
Sometimes the VA is literally the reason I add a game to my wishlist in the first place hehe (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)♡
 
For me, it's an absolute yes!
Although sometimes, I'm interested in the game because of the synopsis or the themes
But mostly, it's because of the VA hehe
