I only play the routes I liked and I will skip everyone else because by then I'd be so tired of the plot and everything else. If there's a forced order to unlock the other routes, then what I do is that I just force skip them to save myself the time so I can do the route I was first interested.
Yes, probably because we'll get none of the much older PSP and Vita games either way, so any kind of port to PC would be great news to me. I just hope they will add extra content or side stories to the base game, otherwise I don't feel like re-buying it again for no reason if I owned the...
I hate all forms of genAI, really, so I'd never buy a game that mentioned they used it in the creation of stock assets since it would be taking jobs away from real human artists too.
My first otome game that I rmb was Starry Sky series on the PC since it had an English patch, and then I played other games on my DSL, psp, and eventually vita when it was picked up globally by aksys a long time ago.
I only liked P3P and if they'd ever make a P6 with a FeMC again (never).
Then I'm not a huge fan of mini-games in my VN unless it's like FE3H where romance is optional too because I find them p tedious so I skipped Jack Jeanne along with it having a HS setting too.
Not really since I find them pretty boring since they have no real final route but I've tried to watch the Code:realize anime it was p mediocre even if I liked Cardia having a VA too.
I have wired headphones for my PC, Sony MDR-7506, but I will buy any $30 earbuds from the brand TOZO NC9 because they all break down after 2 years later regardless of brand too for when I go on walks and errands for normal music too.
So I p much quit all otome games for a while now along with all VN but I still love chatting about old BLVN I've played in the past because it's still p niche.
Some of my fav games are dmmd and its fandisk, along with Lamento too with the fan patch are the 3 that I recall the most now. Then...
I bought an SW1 for otome games, but I admit I quit them a while ago, so I would say it's worth it you only want to play many other games too. The last game I was invested in alot is Pokemon Z-A and its DLC was fun for me so I would need like 3-5 console exclusive games to upgrade to SW2 nowadays.
I like it when the FeMC has a personality and set design over CC or blank slate because I find it more fun when I still played them on the vita and pc.
