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
 
I choose characters whose personalities and looks appeal to me based on their character descriptions!
 
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
