Personally, I don't have much of an opinion on this, since I'm not the kind of player who really gets into the game, and I can tell that the development team is serious about fleshing out the main character.
Come play gust's Atelier series!
I've been a big fan ever since before gust was acquired by koei!
The gameplay is really fun, and the characters are all so cute!
A lot of mini-games are actually really fun!
But there are some games that focus more on the game mechanics, and I really love those kinds of games too (like Angelique/GS).
The rhythm game featured in Utapri later spawned the music series—it was actually pretty popular among rhythm game...
Although it's not completely unacceptable, it's definitely pretty weird.

It's not exactly because of otome games, but I've always loved J-pop and J-rock, and anisong too—though there are definitely some singers in otome games that I really like.
Aside from the spoiler-restricted NOISE ―voice of snow― End 0, I still really love the Uriel route in 断罪のマリア… Mainly because the HE I got in the first playthrough—even though it was a happy ending—was incredibly sad. The original version of 断罪のマリア didn't have a true HE at all; instead, all the...
