Taking one I've recently been playing, Haru (Sumire no Tsubomi), the producers really went to great lengths to make his entire route detestable. The worst part isn't just wanting to smack him around a bit; Satsuki herself makes everything worse.
:miku_pissed:
Virche left such a lasting impression on me that I still haven't fully recovered; I think it's the reason I'm not really enjoying Temirana—I started it right after Virche.

I don't mind; in some cases, I actually prefer having no voice acting at all over bad dubbing—(Side-eyeing certain Western games.). But I really do appreciate good voice acting.
I think I can say that the fact a character is the 'poster boy' really influences me; I approach everything with a very open mind—even personalities that aren't really my cup of tea. In some cases, I think they are making a clear distinction between the true route and the poster boy route. Which...
I can't really read Japanese, but I understand it relatively well when I hear it—partly because I associate what the character says with what is written. I'd love to learn to read it someday, but I don't have the time. I think what I know is enough for me.
For me, it's not really a problem (fortunately); it's more about whether I'm in the right mood to start a title. I recently started the Sumire no Tsubomi series, and I plan to move on to Hoshi no Oujo after I 100% complete it. Usually, these series just require a bit more time; once I start, I...
Hmm... I don't think it's a complicated choice.
Bride: Gill
Bone: Allan
Banish: Raul
Despite loving the game overall, I still have my favorites.
:akazukin_blush:
I'm pretty easygoing, as long as it doesn't involve NTR. I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but I think creating a good 'yandere' character is harder when it comes to males than females. There are plenty of female characters out there, but male ones? You practically have to go on a hunt...
As many people here have mentioned: Clock Zero. I'd also love to see Spade no Kuni no Alice; Sangoku Rensenki is definitely in my top list too! I still find that game adorable to this day.
It's not a specific mechanic, but rather an 'otome' version of visual novels—like Your Memories Off ~Girl's Style~. I love that series; the Memories Off games in general are fantastic, though unfortunately, they don't come out very often anymore.
Like many others here, I would also love an RPG...
Like most people here, I really enjoy games from Atlus, Fire Emblem, Story of Seasons, and Princess Maker (and games inspired by them—I play a LOT of titles in that genre). Then there's Avalon Code—someone mentioned it here—which is adorable; who knows, maybe one day it'll get a port. Fields of...
I'm pretty excited for this one when it comes out! I love the series; it's rare for Konami to release translated games like this, especially the older ones. Koei could follow suit and release the Kiniro no Corda games this way too.

Someone mentioned My Candy Love! I used to play it a lot back in the day; I absolutely adored Lysandre. I was bummed that they left him out of the subsequent games—though I have a theory that they did it because his outfit design was probably a huge hassle to draw, but that's just my theory.
It's fine to post here, but I think it would be better to ask in the game thread. That way, it's easier for Otome to see it; she's become active here again, so I believe she'll re-upload the content quickly.
I really enjoyed Virche (which I recently finished), I didn't think I would like the game as much as I did, I devoured the entire game in about a week. I thought all the main and secondary characters were very well written; my only reservation about the story is
Cupid Parasite, which I played...
It's similar to Paper Bride; you need to be connected to the internet just to start the game. Many Chinese games on Steam—especially mobile ports—have this kind of thing.
For me, it's between 3 and 5. Three is ideal, and 5 is still acceptable. When there are more than that, the mechanics have to work really well to avoid confusion; titles like Kiniro no Corda, Sangoku Rensenki (as already mentioned), and Prince of Tennis—I love those games because they offer a...
