Being too kiddy or childish is just valid a complaint as people saying the game is too brown and grey.

No, actually, it isn't. The former is nothing more than the bleating of an immature adolescent males -in mindset, if not necessarily in body- trying desperately to prove to themselves that they're ready for more than they truly are by denying themselves the things they once enjoyed and had no reason to stop enjoying. The latter at least requires a modicum of thought into the game's style, as opposed to knee-jerk fits of hormonal rage.

What the hell? How could be any more assuming? So, if I were to complain about babification (word I just invetned to describe over simplification and make it overly childish) it instantly makes me an immature adolescent makes that is just giving knee jerk fits of hormonal rage? Screw that.

If this game is an example, yes. If not, probably.

Do I think DQ9 look over simplified and childish? I do, but I think the same of all Toriyama stuff. I'm not a fan of his work at all.

That said, it isn't going to stop from playing, and most likely enjoying, the game. I should still be able to criticize the art style and not be flamed by elitists.
