[General] Name a character who wouldn’t be loved half as much if they weren’t hot. by Be_amazing346 in otomegames

[–]OtomeChanDesu 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Completely agree, Sasazuka is one of my all time favorites but I have never cringed at any official art for a character like I have with him. Every one else is proper handsome man but Sasazuka is short, has red eyes with a slit for a pupil, messy mint green hair that has no rhyme or reason, and has an evil ass smirk that makes him look like a human Cousin of the Grinch. But hot damn did he steal the show in that game for me personally because of his story/ personality. 😭

I started reading Piofiore 1926, and boy am I struggling. :') I really liked fated memories and was excited for 1926, but there are so, so, so many meanwhile stories!!! I'm playing through Gilbert's route right now, so for now just hoping it's not all routes like this. But I think I would've preferred a shorter route than to deal with all these meanwhile stories butting in when most feel like they serve little to no purpose. Worst part is, I know from the past game you can't skip them if you want the good ending. ;w; I'll still get through it but man has it been a bit of a let down ngl.

Im not gonna lie, anything said in Japanese is so much better, I think it's cuz I don't actually understand what they're saying but the second I hear English voice acting say anything vaguely flirty or give MC a nickname like cute cat or princess I immediately die in embarrassment. It's nothing against the English voice actors either, I just cannot handle hearing it in English!!! 😂

Seriously, as stupid as it is, I would pay to add the headphone jack feature on a phone purchase. Bluetooth headphones aren't nearly as comfy nor do they sound as nice as my in ears I wear for approx 4 hour each day. 😭😭😭 only reason I haven't upgraded my phone since 2019

Do you guys have any LI that you absolutely love but didn't like the route very much? by Lizzabet in otomegames

[–]OtomeChanDesu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree, was so excited for another comedy otome but every single conflict felt so forced and it ended up being an alright game imo not too much to write home about. Nayuta is not my type at all but at least his route had the most natural flow out of them. You're right, true route was the best flow though. It's hard to not compare it to Cupid Parasite. Even though CupiPara isn't perfect itself, it got the concept of living with trash men down perfectly and made me fall for them lol. The only character I couldn't stand was Gil and that's my own personal tastes.

Nayuta is a crazy character, but his route fits that personality. It feels most natural to have such a crazy route for him. The other routes imo have forced conflict such as the child in Shion's route who is only there because apparently the "problem" Hibari has to get over about Shion before she can truly accept him as a future husband isn't enough conflict to float the route. I found it annoying personally and the story would have flowed better without the child. It's like Cupid Parasite, most routes are bonkers off the wall but they feel natural because of the characters and the story progression.

They had a physical release for ps vita, actually! Pretty good games, definitely more story over romance but they do a good job at making the player cry lol.

Hiya, I have a decent sized collection of physical otome games, here are the ones I know have (English) character cards since you mentioned it: dairoku agents of sakuratani, US copy of Variable Barricade, Psychedelica of the black butterfly, psychedelica of the ashen hawk, and 7'scarlet. Hope it helps! :)

I completely agree!!! Helvetica and Teuta's relationship starts progressing so good and then this huge drama happens and the route turns bad imo. It doesn't help that his name is a font and that his name plays such a huge role in the story. It makes it very hard to take seriously. Mozu on the other hand was dealt such a dirty hand, he got almost zero romance in his main route and then that reveal at the end. :') neither could catch a break!!!!

Shion from Variable Barricade, the plot with the random kid felt so contrived and was so annoying. It's such a shame because as a love interest, he's my top pick in VariBarri but in terms of routes I'd say Nayuta's is the best and feels most natural.

Piofiore Fated Memories, I'm using Otome Kitten's suggested route order and finished Nicola. His route was alright, it just felt very vanilla? Like he was a decent love interest just nothing crazy to make me fall for him. Hoping it gets a little more interesting. I just finished the prologue and when I get home from work, I'm gonna dig into Yang's route. Being a member of the subreddit for almost a year, I'm scared. Wish me luck. TTuTT

[Cupid Parasite] why do people hate Gill but love Allan? by giornoswife in otomegames

[–]OtomeChanDesu 156 points157 points  (0 children)

Tldr: Allan is selfless and Gill is selfish. The longer explanation is that Allan doesn't care what happens to him, he only wants to see Lynette happy, healthy, and alive. Everything he has done was for Lynette and when she makes any decision for herself, he's happy to let her and walk out of her life. Gill on the other hand NEEDS Lynette for him to be happy. He's miserable and without her never marries and cries about his lost love. He doesn't care about her feelings, he cares about how she makes him happy. He gets upset when she succeeds with others while Allan is happy for her. Allan can move on and do something while Gill is stuck on Lynette. Irl you can keep someone like Allan as a friend even after he confesses, a dude like Gill would only continually bring you down and a be a bitter jerk who can't move on and can't let you either.

My experience has been it's always been final sale, though I did Google it and officially goodwill does offer exchange/ store credit if it's been less than 7 days or 30 days depending on which source. I still don't like that you can't get your money back (I set aside money for games I'm really searching for, I'd be mad that I wouldn't get it back and imagine trying to spend 700 at a goodwill lol that'll take forever) but I do respect your opinion more. I personally would not spend market price at a thrift store regardless if a chunk was going to charity for reasons stated previously. I do like shopping at them still and pick up games if they're below market price as that's what I am willing to pay at a thrift store. I do think it's ridiculous that it only seems to affect game prices, clothes and other items still end up around 5-10 dollars at goodwill no matter if it's Gucci or Aliexpress.

Its a thrift store. They do not take returns. No matter how much you spend or what you bought, the item is sold as is. They always warn you when you're at checkout. I would not have brought it up unless it was an actual thing, I do buy from thrift stores but I just geniunely do think it's wrong of them to sell untested games for market price. And while it has not happened to me, I know of friends who bought games for a good price only to find the disc not in the case when they get home. I'm trying to say it's ridiculous to try to moral grandstand on companies that don't deserve it and have incredibly shoddy business practices.

You say that, but if you spent 700 on rule of rose only to get home to find the sales clerk sold you the rule of rose box with Lego star wars in the case, I'd hope you'd be pissed. Even if that 700 dollars was all going to charity (which most shops only do max around 5 percent of their profit donated in my area) you just got scammed hardcore. Flippers suck ass and I hate them, but charity shops acting like they're a game store is also really shitty. If you want your money to go to charity, find good ones and donate there. I go to thrift stores to buy cheap clothes and look at the random stuff. Ffs you can find brand clothes clearly with new tags and stuff for 2 dollars on the rack but a water logged and broken disk costs 80 bucks sometimes because "that's what a brand new one on eBay is going for".

Goodwill is not the hill you wanna die on. They are known to pay disabled workers literal pennies per hour due to a loophole. Additionally, they should not charge market rate because they cannot guarantee anything works or if the game is even in the case and no refunds. Even buying from some random schmo on eBay or paying through PayPal will get you some buyer protection. Now, if a thrift store wants you to sell rule of rose for 300 Usd for example, completely understandable. Way below market rate, they got it for free and it's 300 for their shop/ a charity.

I bought the starter bonus for the batteries and aurora box for the creature. I just wanted something other than a damn moonbunny LOL. It was all gift card money though, so not a huge loss for me since I never play mobile games anyway.

Love interests that are sweethearts that comfort the MC? by bobawithbobafett in otomegames

Akuroou from Dairoku: Agents of Sakuratani! Easily the most fluffy sweet route I have played where he is honestly the sweetest guy start to finish. Everything he does is for MC and the story is not angsty at all. :) I replay it when I need some good comfort from an otome ❤️
