r/otomegames

Start with the most important one and end with the least important one:

1.) plot writing (e.g. slow burn, fast paced, character focused, story focused, in character behavior,…)

2.) Character writing (love interests)

3.) Character writing (protagonist)

4.) Character writing (side characters)

5.) Character interactions and dynamic

6.) Character design and artwork

7.) music and voice acting

8.) World building

9.) gameplay elements

10.) genre and setting (e.g. humor, fantasy,…)

11.) romantic scenes

For me it would probably be…
5, 1, 2, 3, 7, 6, 8, 11, 4, 10, 9

Guys I have a new trauma on this game, I'm F2P, so having acme is only possible with ADS

Now I have this trauma with the chat

DO YOU REMEMBER ME?

I followed the guide on Google, but I still get that nonsensical "Bad Ending Comic." What am I doing wrong? It's a shame this game is incomplete and has been forgotten about because of what in the hell is bad (which is also beautiful, except that I had to make 4 accounts and still no SSR launches except for the demon I'm tied to).

Can you tell me how I can fix this now? And maybe avoid this trauma now. ANY ANSWER...

Just finished the >!secret route!< for otome daoshi, and I just felt the need to vent/share my thoughts on it since it was honestly kind of baffling. Spoilers for the whole route.

Like, okay, >!Uro is Yoki's twin, they literally have the same face and the same very distinctive eye color/style, and yet NO ONE comments on that? Even Longli/Seisetsu reacting but not saying anything is treated moreso as them actually knowing who Uro is, not just seeing that they look the same. But Shunlin and all the other main cast at one point or another see Yoki and Uro standing next to each other and NO ONE even off-handedly comments how they look exactly the same and how weird that is?!<

It's only made worse by the scene where >!Uro half-remembers being pushed off the cliff by 'himself' while Yoki is RIGHT in front of him and no one figures it out. Hell, Shunlin even later remarks that 'maybe it was someone who resembled you.' while STILL not making any connection to Yoki, the only person they've seen who looks like him.!<

Also in regards to Shiyu, I don't really get why he was continuing to help >!Yoki or being involved at all after Luojin died. He made it pretty clear in this/other routes that his only real goal was Luojin's death, and anything outside of that wasn't his problem, so why help kill more random innocent people, or continue to keep people enslaved by the shadow arts? He has no need of them any more, so why not just let them go? Plus why help Yoki to the degree he did?!<

You'd figure given Shiyu's backstory that he'd be AGAINST >!encouraging royal brothers to kill each other. He even spares Uro at the beginning presumably out of fondness for his nephew, but he's apparently more than happy to see him slaughtered by his brother at the end even though he'd been the one who was unjustly attacked.!<

Now that Catharsis localization has officially been announced for Spring 2027 my brain has entered full conspiracy mode.

For context: I've lurked on a few Japanese fan sites and discussions, but thankfully I stopped before the big spoilers started flying. So I have a general idea of the setup, but I don't actually know where the routes go.

Which means… it's time to wildly speculate.

I'm also still mourning the fact that this is a sequel instead of a fluffy fandisk. I genuinely thought we'd solved enough of the island's problems for one generation, but apparently not. So I'm expecting each route to tackle a different lingering issue while (hopefully) giving us plenty of romance.

Also… can we PLEASE talk about the new character who looks like a man of the white?

Because introducing this man of the White is both genuinely exciting and genuinely evil. Is he a full LI? A side route? A secret route? Or is he simply here to emotionally terrorize Himuka and other LIs?

These are the thoughts keeping me awake at night.

Anyway. Onto my completely unqualified predictions.

Tokisada: I think his route is going to focus on him truly growing into his new life and role. He literally put down roots on the island with the peach tree, so I feel like it'll be another wholesome route with a healthy serving of Tokisada Spice™. I also wouldn't be surprised if we see him stepping into more of a leadership role while finally feeling like Tenguu is truly his home.

Riku: Meh. He was never my favorite. All the "DUTY," "FAMILY," and honorable speeches in the first game had me zoning out. I think his route will focus on finally letting go of those old beliefs and helping Akaza reform the caste system. It'll probably be very earnest and straightforward. Just like his first route.

Kuroba: Oh boy. Considering I sentenced this man to Otome Impel Down in the main game… what is there even left for him to struggle with? He cured Haku. Mission accomplished. I SWEAR, if this man gets cold feet AGAIN and starts the whole "I'm not worthy of you because I'm from this color and that color" speech, it's straight back to prison. No parole.

Yosuga: Ah yes. Be sexy. Be morally dubious. Continue feeling like a Hana Awase character who accidentally wandered into Olympia Soirée. Less card games, more mind games over tea. And the vaguely threatening bubble baths — I want more of those. He's currently serving time in my prison system, but… lately I've developed a soft spot for problematic men. Thanks, Karakurenai. Thanks, YOFY. Against all logic, I'm willing to hear him out.

Akaza: I feel like his route is basically going to be divided into two shifts. Day shift: fixing the absolute clusterfuck that is island politics. Night shift: homemade cake. That's it. That's the route. I'm also fully expecting more Akaza whispers, because that VA clearly understood the assignment.

Himuka: And finally… my mysterious husband who looks like a wife and continues to make my passionfruit dreams come true. The second I saw the pale guy passed out on the sand, my immediate thought was "oh. Oh no. This is going to become Himuka's problem."

I just know they're going to make him question his place, his identity, or his relationship with Byakuya — because that's exactly the kind of emotional damage writers love to inflict. And I'm already preparing myself accordingly.

So those are my completely unhinged predictions. What do you think each route is going to focus on? More importantly… what theory are you already convinced of before any of us have even touched the game?

Feel free to post anything that you wish to discuss!

I'm new to this kind of game (Light and Night) and it's so different from the otome games I've played before. The only ones I've really played were mystic messenger and obey me back when I was younger, then I got back into them recently, so I barely remember my old playthroughs.

I have a few questions:

Are all the main story chapters already out on the SEA server?
How does the currency system work? Like, which currencies or resources should I be saving and prioritizing?

How do the events usually go? What's the order of upcoming events? Since CN is ahead, is there a schedule people follow?

Is there a fandom, Discord server, or anywhere I can keep up with updates? Like, how do people know what the next event is gonna be?

Also, how do the routes work in this game? Do all the male leads know each other? Does choosing one affect the others?

Do all of them like the MC from the start, or does that develop over time?
I just finished Chapter 2, so no major spoilers please

Hi everyone! I just got a chance to finish Virche a week ago, spending time processing everything that just happened.

Like the title said: I wonder if the FD worth it for someone who doesn't really enjoy the base game?

Here is more explanation,

I DO love the LIs and adore their every bit of personalities/moe gap contents I get. I didn't expect myself to fall for Scien this hard at all. And Adolph&Ankou basically had me on tears since chapter 1 of their route bc iykyk🙂‍↕️ Needless to say I get what the story wants to tell and appreciate its beauty + a lot of drama and despair.

However, it's the pacing, shock value, and some pseudoscience that stop me from fully invest into the story (and sometimes just kill all the interest I have for some LIs). I'm the type that not really bother by these factors. But for some reason, it doesn't work this time😭

The theme, the concept, and everything this game has to offer is hand down more than capable to be my fav otome of all time. Yet, I found myself somewhat unsatisfied and want to give it a second chance through FD.

I wonder how writing team handle each route and if every character get a fair execution in their route in your opinion? So I can somewhat draw some pictures of what I'm about to get from this FD.

I'm probably going to buy it anyway. But judging how there's so many new release titles in JP this year that catch my eye, I want to prioritize what I want to purchase first. (Or else it will just arrive to sit on my backlog for another 3 yrs lol)

Thank you for your time and hope you have a great day :D💖
