So what would your definition of Otome Game be everyone? Like many Fashion Games like Style Savvy. There's also games made specifically for girls that don't let you score with anyone at all. Yaoi Games are made specifically for girls but they don't let you play as a girl for example. I know some Hentai Games that let you play as a girl and score with cute boys that are not made specifically for girls like Umichan Maiko Classroom Cheaters for example And a game can be made specifically for girls and don't let you play as a girl. A game can let you play as a girl and let you score with cute boys and not be a game made specifically for girls. What is your main definition of Otome Game everyone? Is the main definition of an Otome Game a game where you can play as a girl and score with cute boys? Or is the main definition of an Otome Game a game specifically made for girls? Because they are not the same thing. : This is when i asked the Chat Room! : Lunamoon7: The definition of what makes a Otome Game is something i would like to know as well. Sleepykitten you said amnesia doesn't have much romance, can you explain? My english isn't the best sorry : Anon0869: I'm thinking about buying amnesia for the vita but I'm not sure because I've heard the heroine doesn't talk. : Thesleepykitten: Princess Problem is otome but you can marry for political reasons without romance involved. Sweet Fuse was only sprinkled with it, but felt more actiony : Thesleepykitten: Hakuouki wasn't that romantic either. : Thesleepykitten: since I've played otome games that barely had romance in them (Amnesia) but they had routes and stuff I feel like it's because you're a female protagonist who explores relationships? doesn't have to be romance. : Thesleepykitten: yea Cupid VN isn't romance, but it's REALLY good
: Anon8106: (They're good natured questions I promise) : Anon8106: (Sorry to ask so many questions, I just barely see discussions like this here and I find them interesting) : Anon8106: Also what makes a game otome? Romance? : Anon8106: You mean as in they tend to objectify the people you are "pursuing"? : Anon8106: You think all dating sims are explotative in nature? : Anon1012: like, that new Yuri game coming out called Flowers looks beautiful, but. : Anon1012: The kind of exploitive nature of all dating sims kind of turns me off to stuff that's not specifically catering to my tastes tbh : Anon1012: Also on the whole cross-dressing BL thing. I showed them to this site once : And they said they didn't consider them to be Otome Games.
I can send you a PM with some info on them if you want. One of them is called Umichan Maiko Classroom Cheaters and the other ones are Artificial Academy 1 and 2. I love them hehe! Under the Moon was my first Hentai Otome Game actually As for the Hentai Games that let you play as a girl and score with cute boys that i'm talking about. do not count because they aren't targeted enough.
#OTOME EROGE GAMES PORTABLE#
But games like Persona 3 Portable or Star Ocean 2 etc. The vast majority of otome fall into the choose-your-own ADV format, but sim games, RPGs and so on can be otome games if they fit the criteria. In fact the romance endings felt more like secret ends you would stumble upon based on how you played.
Some of the earliest major otome releases such Angelique (SNES) allow you to win the game and get "the best" ending without romancing any specific guy. I say it's pretty much any specifically-female-oriented game with a female protag and pursuable male characters and romance as one of the main draws of the game romance isn't always 100% necessary to complete the game, but an important element. And a game with protagonist gender options and different sets of eligibles sounds too ambitious/untargeted for an eroge. Adult otome are a thing, there's nothing keeping guys from playing them but yeah. I'm not sure what 18+ girl-pursues-hot-guys games you're talking about that aren't made for a female audience.
