I'm a huge completionist, I honestly feel unsettled until I finish every route + ending in a game. If there's an achievements list (PlayStation/Steam) I have to get all of those, too.
I just feel like you haven't really played the game until you've played every route? A lot of otome games hide important lore/context throughout multiple routes, or sometimes everything is only revealed in secret routes e.g. Ukyo's route in Amnesia.
Sometimes I'm actually pleasantly surprised by a character who wasn't my first pick/a route I wouldn't have played if I wasn't going for full completion. So I always find it valuable to see everything a game has to offer before I am done with it.
