What are your thoughts about otome games with multiple protagonists?

I normally play games with just a single protagonist, but I kind of liked how Him, The Smile & Bloom did it. I felt like they fit the different protagonists in well, even though you only sometimes met the other protagonists in it and not in all the routes if I remember correctly.
 
I really liked how norn9 did it and having multiple protags forces them to have different personalities for each one which is fun!
 
I enjoy multi-MC games where each lead has their own unique set of routes. I also loved how the MC's personality in Ayakashi Gohan shifted based on common route decisions, even if it wasn't a true multi-MC game.
 
I've never played any games like that, but I've played two where the mc is the antagonist of the other game and vice versa (Jooubachi no oubou, technically eroge but it's otome) and that was interesting. Maybe having two opposite stories in one game could be cool too?
 
I played Norn quite a while ago, and I initially found it quite innovative.
Personally, I found it easier to play with just one protagonist.
 
my only experience with this is with Norn9, and I think it's pretty enjoyable as long the the team writes nice scenarios, I do like to see different POVs from different shujinko, but personally I think I prefer 1 shujinko cause sometimes the scenario got repetitive w/ multiple shujinko
 
As long as they can pull off the execution and each MC can be distinct, I'd just go for it.

Especially if I love the otome's art style... I will never say no to seeing more pretty art!
 
I somehow want girls' love when there are several cute protagnoists. I don't really get the attraction of having multiple protagonists if it means less stories for each LIs.
 
As long as they don't lock the LIs to certain MCs, because I'd like to see how different it would be if a LI interacts with each MC
 
For me , It's good and bad
Mostly it depends on storyline, if the game make one sound good kind and another bad evil person , there's a Japanese otome game i played two years ago, about heroine got kicked from her world to another world and one of another protagonist's MLs was treating her bad and he killed her in some of bad endings 🔪 i was so annoyed , she was dumb and i like her personality , i didn't feel like playing as another protagonist, since i was so annoyed and didn't want to meet that villain or see the innocent dumb part of another protagonist , anyway if protagonists were nice to each other , i don't have a problem with playing with many protagonists like Nora 9 it was one of best games with many protagonists

I prefer games with a single protagonist.
When there are multiple protagonists, I get confused about who to empathize with,
so I can only really empathize with one character per game.

I also don't like the idea of multiple MCs bc I like to self insert, but Norn9 was pleasant surprise I enjoyed that one
 
Multiple protagonist it's pretty awesome and seems so fun😍 it's on OTOME GAME but if it's on visual novel with gender choice the only thing I don't like about it sometimes there a certain LI that absolutely my type but they're not in the route of protagonist I want to use with
 
I LOVE DIFFERENT PROTAGONISTS!!
Especially if both girls are as different as oil and water.

And I´m so happy that a game I had been waiting for years and thought had died has been revived. Hope it could be localized if it gathers enough attention.

I struggle with multiple protagonists, because I generally have a favourite and prefer to play as them over the others. This means that over time I start to get bored when there is a switch to a not preferred character.
 
i like having only one protagonist, but then again, i've never played a game with multiple protagonists. (i've always wanted to play norn9, but i've been putting it off because i'm worried it won't be my cup of tea. i'll give it a try eventually, though, so maybe my opinion will change... who knows?)
 
I enjoy otome games with multiple protagonists. It keeps things interesting because you get to see the story from different perspectives.
 
I like the idea of multiple protagonists and different perspectives. I've only played hanakare. The idea was refreshing and despite being different, everyone relates to the same theme. I would like to try samudari, with two MCs or Norn9 three MCs 😆
 
Do people have a couple of recommendations with multiple protags? Most are saying Norn9 but what other ones exist?
I've read a lot of general vns with multiple protags but not with otome. I love multiple protags though as it lets you see things from other perception and new info what the protag alone wouldnt know. makes me feel like I'm in the audience watching a play more
 
I really enjoy games with multiple MCs like well-known Norn9 / Shiro to Kuro no Alice! (*˙˘˙)♡ They make the romances feel more natural, but you do lose some possible pairings. I'd love to play a game with multiple MCs and fully open romance options someday.
 
Jooubachi did it very well imo. It's so fun seeing how the LI acts when I'm not the target of their affection, and a second side to the story really expands the world.
