  1. games that aren't exactly "otome" but that you still really like?

    Rune Factory, Fire Emblem, and the Princess Maker series + Volcano Princess as well. And the Seven Deadly Sins mod for Stardew Valley if that counts lol I also enjoyed Twisted Wonderland lmao
  2. Have you ever shipped two guys in an otome game?

    Expression and sexuality are two entirely different things. What on earth earth is your reasoning? You have the right to ship what you want and no one can stop you, I'll give you that. But, I'm not trying to start a fight here, you can't say that you're not homophobic while at the same time you...
  3. Have you ever shipped two guys in an otome game?

    Not a fan of shipping LIs together or even LIs with anyone that's not the MC tbh. If I wanted that, I would just read a romance novel, shoujo manga, or whatever. And if I wanted BL, I would just consume BL media. I think the point of an otome game is romance between the MC and LIs + the...
  4. What character from other media would be a perfect LI in an otome?

    Morimens have a lot of fine men, would 100% romance Doresain or Goliath lol Adding to Limbus, I would like to see someone like Don Quixote as an LI lol. Chuuni knight with some chivalry... Outside the sinners, would like to see someone like Jia Qiu as an LI.
  5. What kind of plotlines or general story themes would you like to see in an otome game?

    lmao I didn't notice the typo. would edit to fix the typo that I didn't, but it's too funny to do so lol
  6. What kind of plotlines or general story themes would you like to see in an otome game?

    Some very general ideas I would like to see are: cosmic horror, analog horror, found footage, something that plays with the meta/fourth wall, etc. Basically horror and some mystery I guess. Outside of horror and mystery, maybe some adapations or at least something loosely inspired by classic...
  7. Do you prefer playing on a portable device or on PC?

    I don't use game consoles that much, but I play PC and emulated games on my iPad through streaming them on there through Moonlight and Sunshine. So technically another vote for portable. Really convenient for me to stream games onto my iPad since it doesn't have that much space while my PC does...
  8. Do you listen to a drama CD for the voice actor or for the story?

    I would say that I listen for the story, but since drama CDs is in audio format, voice actors are also equally important but they have so much more emphasis in audio-only mediums lol I don't like stories that are porn without plots or very miniscule, unless they were like one of those sleeping...
  9. How many love interests do you think is the ideal number for an otome game?

    Depends on both the length of the game and the budget. I would rather have a few good routes rather than creators biting more than they can chew and creating some routes that aren't as well written as the others. Anything more than 5 or 6 is a bit too much, unless they were either split into...
  10. Can the old painting style be replicated?

    I'm not necessarily talking otome on this sentence, but I've seen a lot of old-styled retro visual novels and I've seen artists whose artstyles are influenced by other artists or an era. While I miss some things due to nostalgia as well, as an aspiring artist myself, I know it's inevitable for...
  11. How do you feel about LIs who still have feelings for someone else?

    Honestly, I'm not really into it even if I'm not really a self-inserter. While it makes for good drama, it would suck playing basically as the other woman and the second choice lol. And while it can sometimes be realistic, I don't really play games for their realism. Like if they moved on from...
  12. When do you usually listen to Otome CDs?

    When I do work, drawing, doing chores, and doomscrolling like others mentioned. While some of them do help me relax, I have a hard time sleeping to any audio and my earbuds are not comfortable to wear in longer periods, so sadly I can't fall asleep to them lol. Sometimes I like to listen to...
  13. [Why do many japanese games dont bother with an english version?]

    They don't do a translation either due to a lack of budget or they don't think overseas would sell enough to justify the costs. Translations and localizations actually do cost time and money even if it's just text being translated and not adding a dub. A lot of Japanese games, especially that of...
  14. What's a red flag you can forgive in a fictional character but would never tolerate in real life?

    I'm willing to forgive a lot of things in fiction since they're, y'know, fictional. But in real life, I can't forgive the same things. Like I'm into yanderes and possessive characters, but obviously I would not want to be around these people in real life. And while I'm fine with characters that...
  15. What is your go-to audio format and why?

    I have like two external hard drives, so I could download lossless files with no problem. Though, I still prefer mp3 and m4a files since they're smaller and it's expensive to buy storage nowadays so I would rather spend my storage on things I really, really care about. I also don't have the...
  16. Unpopular otome opinions, drop them here!

    I can't stand parody otomes or even parody visual novels in general for the same reasons tbh. Nor do I like shallow parodies done by people who never played an actual otome game. I wonder how people have time, and maybe budget in a few cases, to make out of spite or chasing trends rather than...
  17. What do you think about mini-games in otome?

    I might not be able to articulate my thoughts well on this lol. I know for sure that there's a difference between like small minigames, which can be removed with no consequence, and a fundamental part of the gameplay, such as a combat system. IIRC, I know I said that I wished there was more...
  18. Unpopular otome opinions, drop them here!

    As much as I like to read, I wish otome games to have more variety than just being visual novels, but that might be budget issues since otome is a niche lol And maybe for there to be a variety in asethetics, both in art and setting. Like, I've seen a ton of asethetics in a wiki dedicated to...
  19. Do you self-insert while playing otomes?

    Personally, I don't self-insert and read the games like a book. I can sometimes relate to the MC, but, not to "she's literally me fr fr" levels lmao And, tbh, one of the reasons why I can't self-insert ever even with any interactive media is that I don't even like myself that much lol
  20. What do you think of 3D Otome games

    As mentioned in another similiar thread, even though I lean more strongly towards 2D, I don't mind 3D. Though, there's only like three 3D otomes (other than the ones listed earlier, there's also Silent Whispers coming soon). Maybe my thoughts are going to be a bit different once a lot more come...
