What will you choose: 2D or 3D graphics in otome?

[Cardia31]

What do you think of 3D graphics in otome (like in Love and Deepspace)? Or do you prefer good old 2D? I prefer 2D.

I'm fine with either 2D or 3D!

The only 3D otome game I've played is Love and Deepspace. However, I'm not a big fan of mobile gacha games, so I quit after only a few hours.

I'd love to see more 3D otome games released on PC and consoles.

I'm also looking forward to Silent Whispers since a PC version is planned, although knowing myself, I might end up quitting that one too

I haven't kept up with many recent otome games, but I hope both 2D and 3D otome games continue to grow and evolve

I prefer 2D to 3D, too. I'm still not used to 3D yet. I also prefer 2D illustrations because they tend to better showcase the artist's unique style.

I also definitely prefer 2D. 3D otome games personally feel very "uncanny valley" to me, and the LI designs I've seen from those sorts of games tend to be much more homogenized than what is possible from 2D works. Even in 3D RPGs with romance elements it's hard for me to shut off my "this feels off" impulse.

I understand what some people get out of them (animations/more detailed representations of scenes, some sense of realism, etc) but it doesn't really gel with me so I don't seek them out. Who knows though, maybe one will eventually swing around that handles all of my issues, I won't completely write the possibility off.
