It hurts, bro. YumeCast was cut down before they sincerly tried to save it, and here comes Readyyy looking like a bright and shiny upgrade. And it’s just more of the same. Why? Why not implement any of that into YC? The start of the struggle was clear early on and it felt like outside of Genesis, they pulled back everywhere else and making it more simple just backfired. I still mourn the loss. What a great group of guys to kill.
I know some are hoping it will be brought back, but I can’t see it happening. We would have had a downtime and second act reopening of sorts if anyone cared to not throw it all away. I miss my sun.

Females that play these games kind of are honestly.
Even console games outside of the ones Konami/Koei rarely get that complex, especially now. Too much work, too much risk, not enough budget, and in the end it's not really what the userbase wants. When you see how games for girls are marketed the most important factor is always how easy the game is.

Ensemble Stars is just banking off the formula Cinderella Girls got popular from anyway.

May as well stick with omnipandering games that won''t die immediately for only targeting the smaller audience.

Whoops, I meant, I've never seen an otome heroine like that. But anyway, I wish that route was longer. Manboy's way too pure, and loyal. Prime husband material. It was quite entertaining than the rest of the other routes especially how it went down when she took over in the other ending.

Will Otome games ever recover from the kusoge/idol shit trend, anons?

I know several companies have closed in the last five years, and we're seeing more and more canceled games. What do you think the industry needs to come through this alive? Why is it dying in the first place? I know mobile games are on the rise, but is it so bad that companies are no longer making a profit on normal otome games anymore?

>> No.20855239

>>20855033
They should stop treating otome gamers like idiots and make some game with real gameplay. Or just new TokiMemo.

I think one of the reasons for the stagnation are current trends. Everyone is already tired of idols, but idols generate extra merch. And we know, that jap girls love their merch, so it's like free extra money for the franchise.
Also, the gamers age, but their games do not. There aren't that many "adult games", or just games with older characters, which would attract the fans.

Idols were OK until companies started releasing games with shit plots and bad character designs thinking they would surpass UtaPri's gameplay and popularity.

About the industry as a whole, it'd be nice if they made more playable games and not heavy in writing. For example, I love Otomate's stories, but they would be more enjoyable if they gave more freedom to the player, like Neoromance's classic games. Kiniro no Corda and Angelique still being superior to many games released nowadays.

>>20855239
>There aren't that many "adult games", or just games with older characters, which would attract the fans.

I totally agree with you. Idol games are full of children-looking characters, and the good ones have more adult looking ones or are canon adults. Pretty much the reason why TsukiPara (especially TsukiPro) is being popular lately.

It'll probably continue as long as there are people out there who consume the media and fuel their bucks.
Which in my opinion, idolshit needs to be considered a separate industry from that of otome games, etc. (yeah still 女性向け maybe, but nonetheless).
Like >>20855239 said, >idols generate extra merch.
These include things like music CDs that come with lottery tickets for a live stage or voting tickets, and hardcore fans will purchase loads of them even if casual fans fall out. This is all very reminiscent of how real life idol fans spend their money to support their idol groups (and also an effective money making tactic). At this point the games are not even idolshit games anymore; the characters are literally getting idol treatment, and the companies are investing in creating idols. The game becomes a mere platform to attract female otaku. So I think unless the 2.5/virtual idol industry more or less dies down, they will continue pumping.

God, this. I think I posted a similar thought in the last thread, but otome gamers (in Japan, ofc) are fucking insane to put up with the industry as they do. I know several asian otome/bl gamers and their complaints are all the same... but when I ask why they still buy all the merch, they say they want to support the circle/company or Satoshi Hino/whoever the fuck is voicing the character so they're going to buy the promotional materials anyway and it's so strange. In America, if we dislike something, we don't spend money on it. That's why movies flop and shitty game studios shut down.

Even if I have my feelings towards the otaku/eroge market, they at least treat their players with some type of dignity and release quality games. Or maybe I'm confusing the sheer quantity of games in that market for overall quality.

>There aren't that many "adult games", or just games with older characters, which would attract the fans.

This would also be a huge boon for otome imo. The demographic has aged in the last 15 years, but most characters are still 16-19. Not that women aren't as into younger men as men are into younger women (I'm still looking for a good otome game with more shota-esque characters because I get tired of the ikeman types), but I think games with mature characters would lend itself (naturally) to allowing better writing, better character development, and better resolved storylines. I can't begin to list all the games I've gone back to over the years and cringed at how childish the cast is, or sat there wondering why a route is full of overreactions and meaningless manufactured drama.

It's true that we could use more adults but I assume otome aren't made only for one generation. As the older fan ages so does the younger who then gets into this genre hence characters can't grow up just with (you). And I doubt mature characters would make the writing "naturally" better either. It might feel more relatable but it's still up to the writer cause just like you can stop teens from constantly overreacting you can create plenty of drama between adults too.

Started this game and I already finished 5/6 main routes. It's more on war stuff than romance but it's surprisingly great. It's ironic that the main guys who are depicted as enemies/assholes ended up having the best routes in the game aside from Chouun who's a good guy since day 1. Kakouton's probably had the best development with Kan'u while ChouUn/Kan'u are also pretty cute together because they act like newlyweds but parts of his route were ruined when they started to reveal Kan'u's past with Enshou making things worse in the background (who happened to get a shitty route that continues from ChouUn's bad ending). Chouhi's attitude can be overbearing but he did get a good character development at the end. I loved the scenes where he gets BTFO by the other characters though.

There are very few otome games that are worldbuilding and story heavy enough to create a good anime. Juuzaengi is one of the few and Cao Cao's route is pretty much made for a Twelve Kingdoms type show (war, conquest, Cao Cao trying to deal with his army commander/traitor wife), but it doesn't have a large enough fanbase. And since Nip otomefags have shit taste and only care about mobage now, you can forget about ever getting a decent anime.

Did you play the first game? It's better than 2, though there's even more war.

Random mobage and LN adaptations don't have this either and yet the adaptations are still better

Strange translations aside, WoF has no voices and buying a route costs as much if not more than a full game. Truly the mobage experience.

Do we really need otome anime though? It just takes away from the choice of routes and self insert appeal.
And no matter what it would have cheap animation so that's not a plus.

Not all heroines are meant to be self-inserts, though.

Yeah, would be my main gripe. I play otome so that I don't have to put up with an annoying love interest being shoved down my throat like in most shoujo/jousei.

But that's the point of anime adaptations, anon. They are supposed to trim down superfluous VN shit and create a coherent, well-rounded story from it.

You were right, /blog/. Ozmafia is fucking trash fire. The epilogue/grand ending was even worse. Personally, I'm a bit salty that Axel doesn't get to marry the MC despite the rest of the Oz trio getting to marry her. You also have to cheat on Axel twice to get 100% while the other two only require you cheat on them once or never. Last personal gripe but the epilogue has Kyrie mention he always knew you were Dorothy, who was a child from my understanding, but that apparently didn't stop him from introducing you to and subtly pushing you towards the brothel by letting your curiosity bring you there.
Axel, Scarlet, Manboy, and Hamelin were good boys stuck in an absolutely awful game. I'm proud of you guys for not putting this game on the recommended list. Anyone got the OST for the game?

>switch to unisex games.
How BL usually "wins" the fandom scene in a lot of these kind of takes the sting off of not having a real game. Sometimes I enjoy that more than the source material.
