I actually find it difficult to focus if I'm not moving while reading. I go through a story much faster if I'm on my walking pad compared to my desk/bed.
YES!! I wish we had more games like this. I really love Fire Emblem for this reason, I love pairing up with my favourite character in battle :3 Same with Persona 3 Portable and Rune Factory 4.
I think the genre would be much more popular if more otome games that weren't just visual novels got...
I've bought games that are in early access (Fields of Mistria for example) but I always wait until they are complete to actually play them!! Even when they come out I still wait a bit for them to get a few updates/bug fixes.
I just don't like the idea of having to replay a game so I can get to...
I love the standard 2D visuals most otome games have, but honestly speaking I think I would much prefer a 3D otome game.
I at least wish there were more 3D otome games, the only ones I can think of are Love and Deepspace and Toraware no Palm, and I haven't played Love and Deepspace since I...
I love having a side portrait! It's so cute!
One of my favourites is the side portrait from Mistonia's Hope, it's so ornate and beautiful! Plus I love the main character's design so much. I literally only started playing the game because of her lol.
Either way, games with side portraits...
Dark hair—I prefer natural tones over bright colours.
Long hair!
Eyepatches!! I wish we had more otome LIs with eyepatches. I love characters w/ eyepatches from any media (Goro Majima, Dimitri Fire Emblem)
Masks! Face masks like Hanzo from Nightshade or partial face masks like the Phantom...
Virche Evermore for me. That game is so gorgeous.
I love the 19th-century European-style clothing. Also this is more personal preference, but I really like the muted color palette—none of the love interests have loud, overly saturated hair colors. I've never been a big fan of bright hair on LIs.
I can never stop playing Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side.
The stat raising and minigames are so addictive. Whenever I play I can never play for an hour or two, I play for like 6 hours at a time lol.
Yes!! Two of my fave LIs are Hijikata from Hakuoki and Ukyo from Amnesia.
I love the contrast between a character having long hair but a masculine personality (,,> ᴗ <,,)
I think the largest otome I have is Shiro to Kuro no Alice for Nintendo Switch which is 10GB. To be fair, it is two PS Vita games packaged as one.
Otomate just announced that port of every single Hakuoki game on one cartridge for Switch 2. I dread to think about how big that file size is gone...
I love them!!!! I find it so attractive (★ω★)
It gives the character a sexy, mature vibe? It looks cool in fiction but irl I'm not into it, the smell is pretty horrible.
I do like it when characters who smoke try to quit for the MC though, I think it's so romantic. I read a Sebastian...
I have a Switch/Vita/DS, but honestly most of the time I just prefer to emulate.
My Vita and 3DS are modded but my Switch isn't, and Switch otome games cost way too much in my opinion. Also the games genuinely run better on my emulator than on my actual Switch, and I don't have to worry about...
Butler who's in love with his lady but can't show affection because of his job!!!! Age gap makes it even better.
↑ Same thing but with a teacher instead of butler.
Only one bed trope. And the guy says he should sleep on the floor but the MC convinces him to share the bed lol.
Yandere who freaks...
