How do you pick your first LI in otome games?

Before I know their personalities and stories, I will choose the character whose appearance, voice and temperament attract me more as the first love object.

I used to choose based only on appearance; now I choose more based on the voice actor, and only then on appearance 😆

Mostly I look first at the person I like by appearance and who fits my type. If I don't really like this character in the common route, I take a closer look at the others

If there is a recommended order for playing, I follow it.
If not, I start with the types I'm not as fond of.
I save my favorite for last.

Almost always the cutest character design !! But if none strikes or if i find multiple lis pretty i will just go for route order recommendations if there's any or just go with what personality seems the most enjoyable to me (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)

For me, it's probably more about their personality and role in the story. If there's a villain among the romanceable characters, I'd probably go for them first. I really like mysterious villain-type characters. My second choice would probably be a character who shows very strong feelings for me from the beginning. I guess I like characters who make their interest pretty obvious!
 
It's always either who's the first on the recommended route order *or* who manages to catch my attention the most in the common route for me (also includes their appearance & personality).
 
I pick up based on recommend route. My favorite character always at last when I try to play otome game. Since I don't want spoilers from routes, I follow recommend route to make the mystery build up and finale at the end. It give me motivated to finish the game which helps a lot. I love how story are connect to each other which is build up informations and hits I could look for finale. It take plenty of time to get my favorite routes all the time but its worth it. I usually play otome game during a long break so its great.
 
there's no way to know their personalities, so at first i judge from their appearance. if there's someone with a softer and pretty look i tend to like them first, and they end up having my preferred personality to match! (⁠~⁠ ̄⁠³⁠ ̄⁠)⁠~
 
I choose them in order of preference based on their appearance and personality. If there's a recommended order, I might follow that.
 
Definitely go through the promotion video to get the basic information of them first, appearances is just 1 in many factor, it would be so bad if the look doesn't match with the personality or the characteristic that i'm focus on
 
His personality, how was the first meeting, and as for his appearance, before I start the game I focus on a character for his look but if I don't like how him and heroine met, I move on to another character i like
 
since i usually use guides i go off of route order but if im going in blind then i go first by looks but as the common route goes on sometimes personality wins over and i choose whoever has the more interesting setup. 8/10 its usually the one with the better personality tends to be the one with the good looks so its a win win for me XD
 
I check if theres any recommended route orders first! If it doesnt matter I usually just pick based on vibes and appearance.
 
I normally go for characters voiced by my favorite VA's if that's not an option I usually observe the characters and go for a combination of appearance and personality.

I tend to like calm but gentle men with emotional range of a brick
