Hey there! Since you mentioned you've played a lot of Atelier Sakura titles, I was wondering if you could help me out. I'm looking for one of their NTS (non-NTR) games where, after the main character reveals his interest in NTS and the "lending play" begins, the focus doesn't completely shift to just that.
What I mean is — is there a game where the relationship with the wife/girlfriend still feels balanced, where they continue to have regular dates and intimate moments together, instead of the whole story and all the H-scenes revolving solely around the NTS dynamic?
The reason I’m asking is that AS tends to write really sweet and lovable heroines — honestly, so charming that you kind of don’t want to share them. You just fall for them and end up craving more wholesome, vanilla content.
For example, in the game with Anri, I really liked the first half — it felt like a genuine husband-wife life with dates, family visits, etc. But once the lending starts, everything shifts to just NTS content, and that gets a bit tiring — both due to the repetition and because I missed the vanilla feeling of the earlier parts.
So, do you (or anyone else here) know of any AS games — or maybe titles from other studios — that blend the vanilla and NTS elements throughout the story, without splitting them into separate "halves"?
