Surprisingly, I don’t think visual styles have influenced me in terms of deciding whether to play a game or not. Most times I choose games for their voice cast.
I'm thinking of getting into more otome CDs, so I might get a new favorite voice actor from listening to those. For now, Tomoaki Maeno's voice is my favorite of all time.
For memories, it's gotta be Code: Realize. Code: Realize was one of the first otome I knew about when I was growing up because it had my favorite voice actor in it (and he's still my favorite voice actor today!). I wasn't able to play actual otome games until quite recently, so when I finally...
I prefer my otome in a fictional setting (which may explain why I haven't played CupiPara yet LMAO). I normally play otome as a little way of getting away from reality, so having a fictional setting or just any setting that doesn't take place in the real world helps with the immersion. My only...
For me it really varies depending on the game. In most games I have 1-2 favorites, but there is one game where I nearly liked all 5 LIs 🙈 The current game I’m playing right now has 2 LIs that I like already from one route, but maybe I like more as I complete the game
I always thought I was the type of person who liked playing otome games during public transport, but nothing beats hooking up my laptop to my small bedroom TV and playing otome using a controller from the bed. There’s something about that eased environment that just makes the playing experience...
I also really liked how they used the sprites in Sins of Kaleido! The first time I ever saw sprite mouths move was in Hakuoki, and for a while I got used to it in that game. But imagining moving mouths in other otome games is kinda weird to me :*)
I think the subtle changes in facial...
I generally have a completionist attitude towards otome, so I play all routes, but my cowardly ass does NOT want to play sad/bad endings 💀 I do appreciate the development of more otome games forcing you to do the normal/bad endings first before getting the happy endings. It’s like a little...
I am a big fan of the otome games where the lore gets revealed but by bit as LI routes unlock one by one. It really helps with the immersion and also kinda acts like the slow unwrapping of an insanely cool birthday gift.
When it comes to true routes, I think their execution can be decent if...
You’ve taught me about danderes and mayaderes today! Never knew those existed. My profile picture is essentially a mayadere and I sure as hell really enjoyed his route in Nightshade. I’m normally not a big fan of the yanderes because they creep me out too much, but J appreciate their strong...
Persona 3 (for the thing that happens on October 4th) and Persona 5 Royal (because of its third semester). And don’t even get me started on the true route for a specific LI in 7’sCarlet. Man deserved better.
I’ve been changing my profile picture for at least three times! The first one I had was just a picture of Kazui from the MILGRAM Vocaloid project. The second one was a screenshot of a cat I liked from Neko Atsume 2. And now my husband is my profile photo (Hanzo from Nightshade…his route is so...
Personally, I’ve started to place more emphasis on having good writing in otome games. There was one game I played whose writing kinda threw me off because I didn’t understand why certain characters had to experience the things they had to experience. Bad writing just ruins the immersion and...
