A pretty UI can definitely guilt me into giving a game second chances! It makes the playing experience itself more memorable even if the story is dragging- if that makes sense? I do think some games overdo it and sacrifice accessibility though. I remember dreading anytime I wanted to do...
Back when I first got into otome I was obsessed and could plow through a route in a day, nowadays I find myself with more games than ever but only completing a handful of routes over the course of an entire year. A lot of my VN friends have also been in similar slumps, so I wanted to ask: Have...
I've not read much but it's not for a lack of trying T - T
Sometimes if I'm out of official content for a character and want more I'll look for fan fiction, but the offerings tend to be slim. Normally just a bunch of short oneshots that were written in one sitting, or BL ships which I normally...
Moving backgrounds! I've seen a few otome do them before (Bustafellows and Black Wolves Saga come to mind) and every time I'm impressed even if it's just minor things like clouds~
This one may be too niche, but personally I wish menu sfx were a different audio slider from other in-game sfx...
Uwah thank you for all the kind words, everyone! ⸜( ॑ ॑ )⸝♡ Now I feel guilty that mini Kanato has been sitting partially unfinished in a box for a while now ._.
Have any of you ever crocheted/knitted your own otome merch? It could be dolls of your favorite characters or even pillows and blankets with otome-inspired motifs!
^ Here's a little Kanato Sakamaki I was working on ages agooo
I felt the same about Radiant Tale. Everyone always has nothing but praise for it, but I didn't find any of the LIs particularly interesting and the sheer amount of dictionary entries at the start made me put it down lol;;
Hakuouki, Ozmafiaa, and Collar x Malice are all games I've tried over...
I honestly don't know if I've played an FD I've enjoyed yet 0 - 0;; Either they release too far after I've already forgotten about the main game, or they just don't have enough substantial content to feel worth what's normally the price of another full game. I much prefer on the rare occasions...
The desire to play Rejet games were definitely a driving force behind learning Japanese for me lol- By the time I was able to play the ones I wanted to most though, my otome standards has raised by then and they didn't exactly live up to expectations ._. (Well at least AliAli and BM...
I don't listen to BGMs much but I definitely listen to opening songs. Especially songs for Rejet games like DiaL, AliAli, and Bad Medicine. I also have some character themes as my ringtones/alarms (Makes it hard to play Kanato's routes anymore when his theme song has been my morning alarm for...
Honestly the reverse happened for me where dating/getting married made playing otome harder for me. Having real experience made some of the cheesier or unrealistic parts of otome become glaringly obvious to me when in the past I would've enjoyed them or written it off as usual otome shenanigans...
Daisuke Hirakawa is in every otome under the sun, but I'll only ever hear him as Laito Sakamaki. Likewise with most of the DiaL cast honestly, Yuki Kaji, Hikaru Midorikawa, and Kosuke Toriumi are also victims
Blackish House is a personal fav I rarely see in the wild! It's one of the few games which has been able to truly provide slow-burn romance that *also* doesn't end as soon as the two characters get together. (Also as someone who likes abusive romances in my otome, it does a staggeringly good job...
