What do you think about faceless MC ?

[Hanslcrckrs]

prefer without it, honestly. I played Cafe Enchante recently, and seeing the MC at the corner just bothers me (in a good way, like she's way too pretty to ignore..? if you get what I'm seeing; like not the typical self-insert character.)

Unless they have some sort of characterization going for them, I usually don't prefer them. The ones I'm somewhat okay with are the "eye-less" ones; the expressionless and the ones with literally nothing on their face, sorry, but no thanks.

I think faceless mc is scary. I much prefer first person view lmaooo

I also find faceless protagonists unsettling; they look like mannequins to me. The developers might want players to envision the protagonist however they like, but if that's the case, I wish the story had been told exclusively from the protagonist's point of view from the start.

I don't really like faceless protagonists. I get what they are trying to do, but seeing the featureless, hairless mannequin in CGs is really ugly. In that case, if you really want to be inclusive, I'd rather not have MC in CGs at all, rather than that. The eyeless MCs with bangs that cover the face are a bit better, because in CGs the angle usually hides a bit the fact they don't have faces, but in general I would rather have a fully drawn heroine. Best case for me is having character customization - like in Ebon Light or Gilded Shadows, though I get why it's rare, it's a lot of work for the devs.

I prefer when the Mc has hair and a face. Most of the Otomes I've played where the Mc is faceless, they usually don't have good writing or much of a personality. I understand there's people that use self-inserts and such but for me it makes such a boring game.

It depends. If it's just no eyes I don't care. To some extent I prefer it too (although I also don't mind when they're given a face). If it's completely faceless then I don't like it as much
