would you enjoy combat aspects if they were added in otome?

if the system would be fun and allow you to pair up with your love interests of your choice in combat mechanics, be it turn-based or rpg (or any other types, i'm an amateur so apologies if i ever talk wrongly about anything related to games and otome)

personally, i enjoy concepts like battle couple, where the heroine can support and fight alongside if the setting the story is allows for something like that.
i also see the appeal of the heroine being supported and rescued instead in dire situations, i don't mean to make light of either and call one side better.

or combat wouldn't really be your thing and you'd rather experience the story told through a visual novel like format with choices that impact to flags/endings?

I think Hana Awase really fits this description, and I really enjoyed it! The story puts an emphasis on the heroine's position as someone who supports the love interests in combat, and I think it's an interesting dynamic that was explored nicely throughout the games. I'd love to see more similar concepts, with games that have actual battle elements alongside the usual visual novel presentation (*^▽^*)

It depends.

When combat is added, romance is usually not the priority. If it's turn-based, the story has to be entertaining enough to make the grinding bearable. For me, Persona series is entertaining, while Octopath Traveler is... boring (no offense).

I'd still prefer a classic visual novel otome, maybe with a little mini-game or a moving sprite

Even though games like LADs definitely pique my interest, the romance isn't always my cup of tea. If I want combat, I'll just play a JRPG or a souls-like, they have romance too sometimes. I remember playing Nier: Automata and it was beautiful.

I'm not against tha idea, if it's 1). have a difficulty setting and 2). all action combat must be on PC (how are people playing LADs on mobile is beyond me). I'd be very interesting to play a huge completely female-oriented RPG. Basically, just give me finished, one-time purchase LADs on PC and I'll be happy
