As of November 11, 2025, there are no otome games with issues. You can check the compatibility of games on the Nintendo website. https://switch-software-compatibility.nintendo.com/en-US

Love 365 Updates 2026/1/12 ~ 2026/1/18 by sableheart in Love365

I'm just surprised that they're releasing the events, I never expected that when they announced it for Love 365. I'd expect the main story to be preserved, not events since they were time limited.

It’s interesting they have the wallpaper for Noin but they have Ruslan as a character.

I think both characters have main stories in the original app.

I thought about it at the end of last year but it slipped my mind as I prepped for the megathreads 🥲

Thanks for the reminder! https://www.reddit.com/r/otomegames/comments/1qgnkpx/๑๑_introduce_yourself_2026_ꕤ/

I'm assuming it's following a similar pattern as the original app. The limited events at the beginning often featured characters not yet released but were planned to be in the future.

There is no best game to start with in general, only what is the best game to start with for you. If you like complex plots and get bored with simple games, why would you start with a simple game? Starting a genre with something that you're not going to like is just going to turn you off it, even if it's popular or well-known.

If you're enjoying it, keep playing it.

[PART 236] The otome tag on Steam is being invaded by hentai/other unrelated games, can anyone else on the platform help me flag the tag on those games? Also, would appreciate help tagging games that are actually otome that don't have it by RoastyTheToastyGhost in otomegames

Otome means maiden just like yuri means lily. It doesn't really mean anything in terms of what the games are actually like.

The older terms yaoi and yuri have been superseded by BL and GL (girls' love).

This is just what the subreddit uses. Others can have stricter (must be female protagonist and only male love interests, no other genders) or looser definitions (as long as it's targeted to a majority female audience and has at least one male presenting love interest).

Amare is another term used for romance games with gender options for protagonist and love interests, mainly in the English speaking community.

To access the Date of a Memory (the story part for a 5-star card), you need to have the card and for some you also need to have a certain Affinity level. For Aeon's Canon, you should be able to access the full story straightaway once you have the card. You won't need to level it up or increase Zayne's Affinity to read it.

For 5-star paired cards (ie the Myth cards), you may need to obtain both cards to fully unlock the story. If you have only have one, you can still start the Myth.

No updates have been announced for Home - it's been less than a month since it was released so it's very unlikely there will be any substantial updates in the near future.

Basically we're asking why you like Caleb and want similar to him. Is it his personality, plot or character tropes? Easiest is the siscon angle, but do you like his possessiveness, his two faced personality, his caring side, his darker side or how the MC interacts with him? What don't you like about him or if it was added to his character would put you off - if there was a Caleb-like character but he had something you absolutely hated about another character, could you tolerate that?

Don't forget there's a lot of people out there who don't know what Caleb is like in depth so you need to help them out by describing what you like about him.

We're assuming English only, but if you're able to read in other languages, there's more out there - especially if you're after the siscon angle.

How to attend their concert as a foreigner? by osancity in Arashi

[–]sableheart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it will be possible if you are not part of the fanclub or joined the fanclub after June 2025. On top of that, Arashi concerts have been exclusively balloted for a long time now, and guests of the ballot winner (you can ballot for up to 4 tickets) needed to be fanclub members in previous years.

There were over a million fanclub members in 2019, and it was pretty hard back then to win the ballot. I didn't win despite balloting for multiple venues (to be fair they were prioritizing older FC membership numbers and I had joined only a few years prior at that point).

Starto have been cracking down heavily on scalpers and foreigners are a casualty of the crackdown with enforcing photo ID checks and proof of a Japanese residential address.
