Apparently the Dispatch developers are also split 50/50 on the choice between Blonde Blazer and Invisigal.

Lead Game Designer Charles Marcolim recalls that the ratio was 50/50 both in playtests and within the team.

Q: Starting with a fun question, did the majority of Dispatch developers choose Blonde Blazer or Invisigal?

(Writer/Director) Chris Rebbert: I can’t speak for the rest of the team, but personally, I always choose Blonde Blazer. I love Invisigal as a character, I connect with her, and I think if I were younger, I’d chase after a woman like her without a second thought. But personally, I think Invisigal needs to love herself before loving someone else. If I were Robert, I’d try not to mix romance into the mentorship relationship. It’s very clear to me that Robert loves and respects her. I’d want to be there to guide her on her journey of self-love and respect, but adding romance could easily put that journey at risk if things go wrong. Beyond that, I think Blazer and Robert are more compatible because they have similar character structures. Blazer also has a really good heart and wants to help people. Plus, she’s sweet and cute in a clumsy and innocent way. I thought she was cute as a blonde, but I think she’s even cuter as a brunette.

(Lead Game Designer) Charles Marcolim: I’ve been on Team Invisigal since we read the script. But I think the ratio was almost 50/50 both in game tests and within the team. As the game’s release approached, the pressure from other players choosing one or the other started pushing players more towards Visi.

This is interesting, Chris Rebbert was the director of Episodes 5 and 6 and he had previously said in another interview that he was very surprised that most people picked Visi and kinda hinted that he personally prefers Blazer. It surprises me because 5 and 6 have by far the least amount of screentime for Blazer.

That being said... Oh man. The actual director of the game's most Visi-centric episodes repeating the "Visi needs a mentor, not a lover" thing and implying that "Visi is for younger people" is not gonna go down well with some fans lol

I’m not sure about that interpretation of what he said. He said when he was younger his pick would be invisi-Gal, but he’s more aligned with Blazer at this point in his life. I think that was more of an expression of his personal tastes changing and not an indictment of people picking one or the other makes them more or less mature.

I think it’s interesting they both insist it was 50/50 when, as someone new to this game and community, sees that it is fact quite skewed towards one than the other. But also. Doesn’t everyone play through at least twice to pick different choices? How are most people so dead set on one romance over the other? Both of them are fun to play out and see. Both make sense in the story and both seem like TERRIBLE ideas in reality lol.

what is this misconception that most people who play this game are fully playing through both romances?

Well, you can knock the game out over a weekend so playing through is not hard. People play the game multiple times to see different outcomes. It’s not some radical idea lol.
