Voltage FLOPS: Otome Titles that Didn't Do Well

[@gamerc1029]

Good thing I never considered playing the games that flopped except for kiss of revenge cause that was like my first voltage game 😂 I miss the old individual apps because I like the different styles the apps had in the main screen, it was just so pleasing and aesthetic✨👌 Please rant about your favourite MCs. I would love hearing you guys roast the dumb, air head MCs (´▽｀)

[@latteandfoam]

Haha yeah that was one of the classics! We will be uploading a worst MC's video this weekend I hope you'll enjoy it!

[@miaa1762]

MC makes me wanna throw my phone at times. I stg. I started playing voltage games in middle school (I had no business reading them so young 😭🤚🏽) but the mc never fails to irritate me at times. The MC either breaks or makes a story, seriously.

[@latteandfoam]

We totally agree!

[@evafan24]

I couldn't help but scroll through my own Voltage app and browse through different stories as you discussed each one. I played all the main routes in Dreamy Days in West Tokyo EXCEPT Joji's route because he's like a father figure to the female MC and it just feels kind of icky. Dreamy Days used to be my favorite when I was younger, but now that I'm an adult, I'm more into the more suggestive stories, like Irresistible Mistakes.

[@latteandfoam]

We're glad you could take a walk down memory lane with us! lol It's interesting to see how tastes change as we grow up with otome

[@Smileymiley916]

Oh my god, same! I got super into DDIWT around the time it was originally released. I never deleted it off my phone and wanted to play again, but that’s when I discovered it moved to Love 365 and I had to rebuy it... anyway, before I go off complaining about how much money I originally spent and how I have to rebuy all the games I liked... My main point, I loved DDIWT. I played Haruki first, liked him, fell in love with both Takeshi and Ichigo, I thought Ryu and Richy’s routes were fine. But I could never bring myself to play Johji. The MC is 17 at the start. It grosses me out the comments Jo makes to her! If she had come back like, 22 years old, I may have felt different.

[@evafan24]

@@Smileymiley916 Agreed! It's hard not to apply my western mindset to stuff like that. He could've at least waited a few more years.

[@starojunes]

LOL when you started off saying Happy Saturday! I freaked out cuz I have an assignment due Friday and thought I missed it omg.

[@latteandfoam]

OMG so sorry we filmed this ahead and were late to posting haha, totally get that anxiety 😅

[@sunflowerpolka]

I love these chatty long videos! Especially love the wanted video, love when you guys explain plot of the story and your thoughts. Keeps me distracted and relaxed Thank you!

[@latteandfoam]

We’re so glad you enjoyed it! 💞

[@star_kade_6231]

After School Affairs is sooo underrated, I love it so much. I’ve went through, every. Single. Route, all the way up to what voltage has released.. This game was my guilty pleasure, and Kenzo’s route was definitely my favorite, if you haven’t played it already i definitely recommend it 😊 Keep up the great work! 🥰👏

[@latteandfoam]

We'll have to check out Kenzo! We love that game soo much too!

[@emmalps2473]

I really liked Kiss of Revenge and I bought all the guys main stories. I really liked the MC, but sometimes her obsession with killing the director was too much. I actually liked Tsumugu’s story, but I agree that MC should have recognized him much faster because all he did was wear glasses and put his hair back. I didn’t know that Celebrity Darling was Voltage’s first game! But it was soo bad… If there’s anything I've learned from Voltage it's that I can’t stand pirate language. I got through half of Hayate’s story (cuz it was free) and it was really hard to read. Also that MC was really weak. I feel like Sakura Amidst Chaos and Bad Boys Do It Better flopped for me because I like the party version of Sakura, but Chaos wasn’t memorable and I didn’t like any of the characters in Bad boy. I agree that love choice is way too expensive and it's annoying. I also dislike the new layout of the app and how they changed the free stories. You have to watch a video for every episode...

[@yanaraeven8830]

We’re actually doing a video entirely about kiss of revenge! We might change out views but the premise to us is crazy! Lol but we agree love choice isn’t our favorite we’d rather just pay the 3.99! But so many new otome games have micro transactions like that so it’s the new thing but we’re going to do some love choice for our viewers so they can still get the experience so hopefully you’ll like that video! And the pirate language is just too much for Kayla and i too 🤣 glad you liked the video!

[@RambleMaven]

It’s funny because I watch both y’all & xomarthamarie’s channel and I tend to agree with the games she likes more because I’m into the smut 😭 (Kings of paradise is one of my faves by far 😂. Maybe it has to do w/ me being a Scorpio 💀) . I really love y’all’s videos and hearing y’all’s opinions tho! The over all tone is light hearted, so it brings some joy to my day watching y’all go at it 😌.

[@latteandfoam]

Asmr Ellie haha I also enjoyed that one! I don’t hear it talked about as much tho. Also that is funny I believe Martha is also a Scorpio! 😂💞

[@RambleMaven]

kaylaslovely _ I feel like us both being scorpios explains everything 😂😂

[@esranur829]

I actually really want to see a video that you guys rant your favourite MC’s that would be so cool

[@latteandfoam]

We have worst MC's coming Saturday, but we should definitely try to film our Favorite MC's too!

[@esranur829]

So excited to see the video already

[@JC-fq9km]

I have tried a couple of times some of the voltage games but unfortunately I never really got into them. However, after watching this video I am going to try again by playing some recommendations you made

[@yanaraeven8830]

JC we’re glad you love our videos 😍 definitely let us know which ones you try and if you like them! Thank you for watching us! 💫

[@theomnithinker]

I've subscribed! Ugh, so happy to have finally found a community to gush about and discuss ootome games!

[@aliyahclarke7486]

Can you guys make a list about your favourite voltage games if you haven’t already :)

[@kaylaslovely_]

Aliyah Clarke I have made some on my main channel the one I’m commenting with now- but we totally should do an updated list! 💞

[@LetsSaboogi]

I genuinely love you guys' content so much; you're just so much fun haha. I personally never got deep in the Otome realm because my Otome phase was short and I was a kid with no money LOL, but I really love storytelling analysis and Otome still has a special place in my heart from that time lol. I could probably vouch for the fact that I'd prefer not to be on a pirate ship, though! P.S. That BTS anecdote made my day, thank you. I remember watching someone react to Blood, Sweat, & Tears and during RM's (my bias) part where he was alternating between hair styles, the dude thought it was two different people. I couldn't even. It's so funny when people are thrown off by such little details. But in real life regarding someone you know well? No, that's just stupid😂😂

[@latteandfoam]

Awe, your comment made us so happy! We're really glad you can still enjoy our content even if you aren't as much of an otome fan anymore, and thank you for commenting

[@LetsSaboogi]

@@latteandfoam I'm glad that I could brighten your day like you brighten mine 😊 I'll be sticking around for as long as I can help it I've been a fan of your main channel for some years now (since the very beginning of my Otome phase) and I would comment all the time, especially on your Shall We Date videos when they were still up. I still love both channels! Do keep it up!! ❤❤ P.S. RM is unmistakable and that's the steaming tea. I never had a single problem with him LOL

[@kaylaslovely_]

LetsSaboogi Yes I remember! I always see your user name :)

[@LetsSaboogi]

@@kaylaslovely_ 😁💞💞

[@thestrawberrigrl15]

It may just be nostalgia speaking, but Pirates in Love is actually really good!!! The character designs are a limitless basic, but almost all of the routes are interesting and fleshed out.

[@latteandfoam]

We have never actually given it a chance, but we will have to check it out!

[@nosegoblin591]

I know this is an old video, but I just have to give a massive *chef's kiss* for the impeccable taste displayed with IYAT. I remember when it first came out I was in a live journal forum with a bunch of other otome players and everyone immediately trashed Koichi without giving him a chance, but simped hard for Genji and i've never gotten over how salty I was lmao

[@earlgaytea]

i honestly thought you were gonna mention serependipity next door and break my heart but i'm glad you didn't. i haven't read it in a while but i really liked izumi's route

[@latteandfoam]

I (kayla) loved that one!

[@gegeyeyi5008]

I remember loving Tsumugu, but it’s been years since I’ve played so I can’t explain why 🙈🙊 Celebrity darling tho...I tried to play the free route & I couldn’t even get passed 5 chapters 😶

[@yanaraeven8830]

Gegeyeyi I feel like a lot of people like his route but i couldn’t get into it! Kayla and I tried to play celebrity darling and it’s tooooo hard to bring ourselves to get through 🤣 thanks for watching 💫

[@xuaryxth]

I think the only reason I enjoyed Enchanted in the Moonlight was because the premise reminded me a lot of the manga Black Bird which just holds a huge place in my memory as the first manga I ever read.

[@kokoro_flow]

I played Shuuya's route & loved it! 🥰 I understand the concerns with him being a teacher and the MC being a minor in Japan. (Bc adulthood begins at 20 over there.) 🥴

[@latteandfoam]

Yeah sometimes the ages are sketchy 😖 but love, loved his route 😭

[@esranur829]

Omg!!! So happy to see a new video

[@latteandfoam]

Thank you for watching

[@SkitSkit]

Aww love the video 💕💕 so much love

[@latteandfoam]

ღEmi editsღ thanks for watching! 💞

[@aliyahclarke7486]

Loved the video💕

[@latteandfoam]

Thank you for watching! 💕💕

[@ChrisCapulet]

LOL when you guys go off on one about K-Pop XD!!! Also, I totally knew you guys would be into BTS lol...

[@latteandfoam]

hehe guiltyyyy

[@violetDraven6]

I feel like the pirate one is only for people who love pirates like me😂 As kid I wanted to grow up to be a pirate lmao 😂 (I know something's wrong with me lol)

[@brynn7521]

I liked Kiss Me On Clover Hill. But I'm biased because it was the first otome story I payed for. Also I played Akio and his story barely has anything to do with the campus at all. So I'd recommend his story for anyone who loves melodrama and more effeminate looking men.

[@violetDraven6]

Enchanted in the moonlight kinda depends on the route you choose. The point you made for the kitsune is so true makes you hate the game but others are rather nice. For example if you like the tsundere types you'll love Shinra (he's so cute) or the guy who would actually listen to your feelings would be Hyoga. You should probably just ignore the fox lol.

[@junipercosmic6841]

I wouldn't really call Shinra tsundere lol.. Chikage is definitely the tsundere of EITM (edit: also, it's Kyoga not Hyoga..)

[@ahdri]

Here late but SHUYA🥰❤️ absolute yes

[@mariablancoo]

I Hope the bring back Kiss of revenge, is one of my fav

[@kirmaHallow]

ok good video but i had a problem with the video and not to sound rude or anything, "don't make a statement on game that you haven't played, ex pirates in love" it comes across "yeah i never played it so its probably not good" pirates in love isn't a flop either, the story itself ended in 'pirates life for me' and there isn't any reason for it to continue. thats just my take on the video ignore me

[@latteandfoam]

It is a flop financially, but we did play a bit of it recently and were pleasantly surprised. Still it’s not one we are interested to play in full.

[@Channie99]

Okay I felt like that too for the fox yokai, but you gotta read Hyoga in Enchanted in the moonlight, cause he is the polar opposite of Mikabi like he actually listens to the MC and would not force himself upon her (except in moonlight but he stops himself).

[@latteandfoam]

We'd have to check it out!

[@junipercosmic6841]

I realize this is a 2 yr old comment lol - but I assume you mean Kyoga? Don't get me wrong, I really like him but dude, he literally gets into bed with the MC on the first night and is grabbing all over her sooooo.. Yukinojo and Ryu were the worst (at first) even worse than Myabi imo. Yeah Myabi is touchy-feely/gropey and inappropriate with her at first but Ryu and Yukinojo straight up almost r word her straight away 😬. (Yukinojo ends up totally redeeming himself tho and actually turns out to be really sweet)

[@venomjpg]

Late to the party but kiss of revenge had such a good PREMISE and i liked kyosuke(?) but i played a different route and like. not great. i wish they would do smthn like it

[@AG-ee6um]

Me and my girls discussing about otome games 💯

[@AerithIsMyName]

Celebrity Darling, man. I remember the GREE/party version and didn't think it was half bad. The new one? yikes. (I have found that the party versions tend to be better than the 365 ones...)

[@NhiNguyen-vw6vb]

When I was younger I loved the Party version of celebrity darling too, I read Sho's route then and the new version and when I compared it I was kinda disappointed

[@AerithIsMyName]

@@NhiNguyen-vw6vb I feel like the development of the romance in the newer one was just so weird (along with the pacing of days, etc.) The older version was just this real nice slow burn romance with all the characters and all personalities, along with the MC, were just so fleshed out. Then the new one just, makes the MC into a boring, nice, ditzy cardboard box.

[@latteandfoam]

I agree the graphics were actually somehow better in the Party Versions

[@yourstrulynina1524]

i love our private homeroom! 🥺🥺🤍 i adore shuya too! his relationship with mc is so precious and i love how respectfully protective he is of mc

[@latteandfoam]

Yesss! 💖💌💖
