I really could take it or leave it. I think people who want it are asking for extra work to be put into a niche game for a niche audience while those who don't care are more center to the discussion than of any mind to want or disapprove. That said, I do find it's only really appealing in pixel art games or similar sub-genres, like Metroidvania's. Anything like RPGmaker games or even VN's don't really need it because we have the advantage of text descriptors and the game either being fun or absolute shit to keep us engaged. I'm probably in a minority here, given the state of your poll, though. I do hope western devs don't seen your poll as a foregone conclusion of what the people want, though, and over-saturate the market with it.
We're still pining the fjords with slavemakers and breeder games, for christ sakes!
