I love Otometeki Koi Kakumei Love Revo!! and Black Wolves Saga: Bloody
Nightmare. I also enjoyed Starry Sky ~in & After Summer~ quite a
bit. I don't really "hate" any otome game, but Ijiwaru MyMaster is
pretty bad, not to mention any game by Tiramode.

TWO SECONDS BEFORE I POSTED, I KNEW LARAMIE WAS GOING TO BEAT ME TO THIS, I JUST KNEW IT. xD Now I have to go read what she said...

Don't worry there is no specific "structure" for making a post~ Yours is lovely.
Gosh, all these questions are basically broad enough to be their own thread, jeez! So, I know you said ramble, but I'll try to keep it short. xD ... Okay they got kind of long, so I "spoiler" tagged it.

Spoiler:


Um, games I loved... Clock Zero, Black Wolves Saga (I decied this was one of my favorites half way through), Desert Kingdom I would consider my favorites. Also, heavily biased towards Diabolik Lovers. Don't particularly hate any, um, (I forgot to finish this sentence because I wanted to read what Laramie saiddddd... @_@) yeah, but I don't hate any Ijiwaru was bad, yes, yes it was, but I don't hate it.

OKAY YAY FINALLY DONE, IM NOT PROOF READING THAT LELELELELELE! I can't wait to see the other answers.

I don't know if I've really played any games that I hated...I guess I didn't like Love & Order very much. I did really enjoy Starry Sky ~in Spring~, Always Remember Me, annnddd I guess I'll say the free game Summer Found Me because when I was thinking of protagonists I liked while filling this out that protagonist came into my head haha. Winter in Fairbrook also had some interesting relationships, imo. I can't think of any others right now ;v;

Interesting questions! They were fun to be answer [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Thought I'd throw in my answers here... my preferences aren't very typical but I hope this helps somehow smile

STORY QUESTIONS:

Spoiler:

Finally, what are some otome games you've loved, and what are some you've hated?
My favorite otome game of all time is Arabians Lost smile
An abbreviated list of other games I love... Uta no Prince-sama Repeat/AA/SS, Hakuouki (the whole series), Black Wolves Saga -Bloody Nightmare-, Wizard and the Master ~New Ground~, Crimson Empire, Diabolik Lovers*, Armen Noir, Monochrome Heaven, Starry Sky ~in Autumn~
*this one is proof that there are always some exceptions to the rule. All these Do-S characters are people I wouldn't be interested in in a normal otome game, but the characters themselves are so well developed and the story is so interesting that I can't help but love the game.

Games I've hated...
-Starry Sky ~in Spring~ was boring. I really only liked Autumn because the sensei characters are so great; I hate school settings. I can't even express how tired I am of games set in a high school.
-Amnesia had a lackluster plot with a boring payoff I could see coming from a mile away (yes I played all five routes), the characters were mostly shallow, the heroine literally doesn't have a personality, and Shin's voice acting performance was really bad (which is sad because I love Kakihara Tetsuya). The only character I ended up caring about for reasons beyond his appearance was Ikki. It also took me two years to actually finish this game; I put it down because I hated Orion so much. Because the heroine is mostly silent and he speaks so freaking often, for a while it felt like I was playing a BL game about a shota fairy Neutral
-Crimson Empire... actually I didn't start liking this game until I got the PSP version and was able to play on Easy Mode. The PC version has gameplay elements that are way, way too difficult.
-Anniversary no Kuni no Alice... just thought the writing was bad and the characters are uninteresting. No one hit my moe buttons at all. The only strong feelings I had for any characters was wanting a story option to permanently reject Peter and make him go the hell away.

These are some really wicked answers. It makes me curious as to how a native Japanese player would answer them. It would then be an insight once and for all if the current market really reflects what the majority of Japanese players really want.

Especially the protagonist section. It seems like the Western players have little-to-no interest in self-inserting themselves in the shoes of the protagonist.

Not at all~ I'm probably gonna get a nice talking-to by my boss if I keep blabbing about it, but I'm scripting for my team's first otome game. However, as we're still in the story-boarding stages, and thus I have little to script, I thought I should try collecting some qualitative data on what our potential audience is into .w.

Unfortunately, though, we only have a $20,000 budget, so we're not gonna have any voice actors ;~; maybe someday, if this one is successful...

EDIT: Umm, I'm still very new to this site, so I have no idea what I'm doing with all of these fancy buttons <.< >.> your post is now pink... uhh... I'll go back and read through the n00b guide again.

Ah, I see, I see! Posts turn pink when you "thank" somebody, and up-votes show a green bar, whereas a down-vote shows a red one.

You'd have to pay through the roof for a decent English voice actor, so I totally understand. However, right at the end of the day, even the best voice actors can't save a shitty script and characterisations for me.

Please feel free to ask me for my opinions about otome games if you ever need to in the future. Or just make another topic or something. ;D Why pay for marketing questions when you can get a ton from seasoned gamers right here, I say!

All the best!

As for games I've looked, Hakuouki is definitely up there, followed by Tokimeki Memorial, Custom Drive was fun but I think that's it. I'm still trying to find more games I can understand since I'm just beginning to get the grasp of reading Japanese. Non I absolutely hate so far though.

As I sort of guessed, the difference lie more with us ladies' preferences in men, and similarities intersect when it comes to the protagonist.

Her Cheshire Smile wrote:I have been looking for a Elizabeth Bennet-esque protagonist recently. You know, smart, beautiful, has the ability to read people, not afraid to state her opinions but knows her place nonetheless and is still polite when the circumstance calls for politeness, brave, filled with curiosity but doesn't go endangering herself or her status by doing extraordinary things like sneak about to find answers to her questions, and possessing a big heart for those she care for (and an unshakeable determination to make life hell for those who hurt her loved ones). Basically, the brave lady type. But alas, I can not be picky.

OH YES~ This would be great. I always loved Elizabeth Bennet. A character like her would be a wonderful MC in an otome game. I would explain why, but 'Her Cheshire Smile' already did a fine job.

Now that I think about it, there are a few Jane Austen heroines that I wouldn't mind seeing an otome game MC based off of.

PFFFFF

I wrote a smidgen about Elizbeth and Darcy in my ramble and then saw people talking about Jane Austen. SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT WOW, awesome, I definitely love you people.

I heartily agree that a game in that style would be very enjoyable.

I mostly love her work because there's lots of drama and heartache but you still get happy endings. Which I also like to see in games~

/RUNS AND HIDES BEHIND ROCKS AND MOSS

FFFFF everyone is planning games and I'm just sat here thinking about thinking about maybe thinking about making a game.
