So here comes this interview with Siliconera where for once OMG, THEY ARE COVERING SOMETHING OTOME, YAY!! Let's partey!!....and then shit hit the ceiling https://www.siliconera.com/interview-learning-more-about-otome-visual-novels-piofiore-and-cafe-enchantes-localizations/amp/?utm_campaign=twitter&utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitter&__twitter_impression=true
Reading the article linked above, I found a lot of contradictory items @aksysgames that need to be brought to your attention. I have always believed in supporting the niche console otome games are. No, you are not perfect, but only so much can be forgiven when unprofessional.
Is this supposed to be sarcasm @aksysgames ? How many times has the #OtomeArmada endlessly pointed out to you REALLY BAD ERRORS. We went through Norn9, we went through Bad Apple Wars, Code:Realize, I've lost count. This is 2020, not 2016 anymore and it's unacceptable! No excuse.
Think about how much worse dear @aksysgames this looks in light of all the current found (and on going) offenses found in Collar x Malice Unlimited. To list just a few as shared by fellow #OtomeArmada members https://twitter.com/APPLEJUSTlCE/status/1294479163764531200?s=20
I'm sure you've already been tagged several times, and I don't have the time to go link the rest of them. PLEASE . Just do SOMETHING and patch these typos, grammatical errors, graphical UI errors, and errors on top of errors @aksysgames - THIS. IS. UNACCEPTABLE.
No amount of pretty nick knacks on an Limited Edition can equate "forgiving" the level of errors that are destroying the experience for everyone. The only way to fix this is well, TO FIX IT, so GET PATCHIN' THAT GAME.
This needs to be spliced and diced: As far as western localizations, these comments juxtapose each other. We've had somewhere over 20 otome games in total localized since the PSP era, all tied together by the supernatural, deep and dark elements as common denominators.
The so-called "Butterflies and sparkles and something males might find just for otome's" as far as console games localized by @aksysgames, have not had high amounts of that to begin with. This isn't a change but you staying away from localizing such games.
Why are you making it sound that only darker otomes, if you will, are the only type that will appeal to fans? On that note, why are you so hell bent on trying to make sure the games can be marketed towards a male audience? The target audience is and has always been FEMALE.
Look, the gamer bros already go dissing anything that's oriented at female players on the daily-- this tactic isn't going to change their minds. You want the money, fix those errors and give the otome fans and #OtomeArmada a GOOD REASON to support your product.
Now, for the biggest offender in this mess, LET'S SPARKLE!!
OTOME GAMES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE GIRLY, HAVE BUTTERFLIES AND SPARKLES. OTOME GAMES ARE OF A FEMININE NATURE AIMED AT A FEMALE AUDIENCE FOR THE PURPOSES OF A LEAD FEMALE "GETTING THE GUY".

Why do you say this like Sparkly and Girly games are something allergic that none would localize...oh WAIT!! YOU GUYS LOCALIZED MOCO MOCO FRIENDS, WAKU WAKU SWEETS, and incoming Pretty Princess Princess! We sounding a bit hypocrite there Aksys.
The whole statement sounds like female fans, otome fans & the #OtomeArmada are almost second class citizens when it comes to games-- they always get the short end of the stick with quality. Why do we not deserve better? Why cannot we get better? What did we do other than support?
Needless to say, it comes off as sexist and this has been pointed out by others now and as well as in previous instances. THIS. MUST. STOP.
If you can localize E-rated shoujo sparkly girly games with butterflies, you can localize the more mature M-rated sparkle girly otomes too.

The bottom line is, LISTEN to what the #OtomeArmada has been telling you for years, fix and patch CxMU-- I still believe in you guys and you can save it.
And: DON'T BE AFRAID TO LOCALIZE MATURE SPARKLY GIRLY GAMES! Provide the quality and we'll buy 'em. Thank you for your time.
