This is an interesting topic that I personally have not seen brought up in the past.
The style of FeralHeart is a unique one, as wolfdog01 mentioned in the comments prior. I think it really boils down to preference. There are those that will prefer one over the other, or those that simply are okay with both. As I prefer realism, I am not against this idea. There is a nice balance, though, between both worlds as of now.
Though right now, I think everyone is happy to where they can choose what they like best. Choice. I would love to see other responses though. I think this is a great topic that the community has never really spoken about before.
