Agreed, they hate or criticize all they want just because a sprite that they don't like? at least they can enjoy the story instead of liking the the sprites at all.
just because i say like this doesn't mean i don't like the sprites at all or meaning anything because everyone have their opinions and ideas or interests of liking or disliking one things in life after-all.
btw have some respect on the other people's game even if you don't like something, someday it might be your game that they don't like it at all and you were know the feeling of being a developer after all....
not trying to start war with anyone else its just common sense after all...
