Hmm depends on how well that style is executed but if they were all equal high quality and its just comes down to preference of aesthetic .

Now if they were of all equal low quality. Then i would say pixel art lends itself theost to being the most aesthetically effcient for low quality art style.

I really need to jump in on this

For the past maybe but eastern art in general is built on genre archetypes that sort of have bad habit of shallow cloning.

Proud to have their own specfic rpg genre i suppose is something to be proud of even if again it does tend to lock game dev into a lane
