Holy heck, over 220+ posts to catch up on in this thread alone since I checked last night.
Just missed the Otome talk it seems.
My problem with them also tends to be the general helplessness of the Heroine. I like it more when she is capable, strong, and decisive. Rosenkrantz mentioned Collar X Malice, and yeah, that's exactly the kinda otome protag I like. CxM is also in my top 3 for Otome games and I wish every single day that Iffy international would put it on PC as well.
Here is another Otome where the Heroine is supposed to be quite competent.
Though sadly no achievements or other Steam features. Just cloud saves.
I hope you are right! Ni3R and a NieR remaster (for PC) would be my ultimate E3 wishes.
Edit: Oh and hopefully some news on Babylon Falls. That's still coming to PC hopefully.
