Happy New Year! It’s the start of a new year, with the promise of even more otome games! 2022 was an amazing year for Western otome gamers, with several new titles making their English language debut! Publishers like Aksys Games and Idea Factory Intl are making sure otome gamers are getting fed. But, before we dive in to the upcoming otome titles making their way West this year; I want to look back on the otome community’s favorite releases of 2022! So I’m super excited to be bringing back my localization survey with a fresh coat of paint for the new year!
Let your voice be heard! Vote on your favorite otome localization of 2022 and more! I’ve expanded the 2022 survey to include more categories. New this year are: Most Romantic Otome, Favorite Heroine, Favorite Love Interests (by game), Best Indie Otome, Most Anticipated 2023 Otome, and more! You can even explain some of your choices and share your thoughts on your favorite otome game localization pick.
Publishers like Aksys Games especially has shared in the past that they pay very close attention to community suggestions. So, I also want to know what games the community would like to see localized in the future. After all the votes are in, I will share the results here on Blerdy Otome. I will also share them with a few localization companies so they can see what the community wants to see more of in the future!
Voting will run from January 1-10, 2023. You can submit your responses to the Google Form Survey: 2022 Otome Localization Survey! I can’t wait to see which games you all pick! As always shares are appreciated! I’d like to get a nice sample of the overall community! This is gonna be so much fun, I can’t wait to see your picks!
Before anything else: happy (late) New Year, Blerdy! Wishing you all the best for 2023 🙂
Maybe it’s just the fact that I haven’t played a lot 2022’s commercial releases yet (I’m in indie heaven and also in backlog hell ^^) but wow did I struggle with the “Most Romantic Otome” category – it made me realize that many otoge, while being games focused on romance, aren’t necessarily the most romantic, huh. ^^;
In any case, I’m really looking forward to the results – always neat to see the thoughts of the community at large!
What about you? Did you have any specific otome memories in 2022? What about titles you’re looking forward to in 2023? Hoping this year is full of fun games and discoveries!
Will the results from the survey be up soon? I’m interested to see what everybody thinks!
Hey there! Yes, I’m working on compiling the results. It should be up in the next week or so
