I enjoy most of them the way they are, as well as most of the characters.

Can't go wrong with 1, 2 and 4 though. I usually prefer the Japanese boxart so no idea if the West is doing the wrong styling or I just prefer the Eastern one.

And good dubs. Personally I'd much prefer an option for original voices but the majority probably doesn't so at least make the dubs good. ToV was pretty well done, but overall I've come to hate Namco dubbing.

5 is a weird one. The Japanese like an emotional story. It's all over anime. A few years back when (a pretty bloody) Battle Royale (that wasn't anime, real action) was released I wasn't that used to it and was honestly surprised at what seemed like sappiness overload.
But now I'm pretty used to it and frankly wouldn't want the series to seem better to the West than to Japan.

5 is a weird one because it makes it seem like Western gamers hate emotional stories which I can state why it isn't true.  Western gamers don't hate emotional stories, they just hate corny stories.

I tried to put that part at the end of the second 5.

@Bigjon: I'm talking about sub-main characters.
