It is because Japanese copy western music. More often not in synthetic, soulless ways.

Do you even know what you are talking about? The jap shit came 14 years before that tender song.

The entire video game culture of Japan is built on the Western one. Including its music which uses western scale, influences, traditions and cultural trends like this. It is not about tender or that Jap song in particular but how the whole Japanese video game industry is a frankenstein made of western influences with Japanese perspective. As to be both superficial and distilled for a Japanese audience.
It should come as no surprise really, an imitation cannot be as good as original, even when it is competent. At its best it is a successful rip-off and at its worst it is shallow derivation.

In old game stealth was useless against bosses while was great against generic enemies and to avoid combat, in early game was vastly superior to fireweapons.
Another good game resurrected as an SJW abomination by a squad of weirdos? I wish I could get at least a little indignant by now.

I don't think it's turning the genre on its head. Exploring what normal life is to inhabitants of its world doesn't betray role-playing principles, it fleshes it out. Neither I, or what I heard from the developers are suggesting this become a life simulator. You can explore these things thematically and in the narrative. Maybe mundane isn't exactly the term I'd use, but I'm interested in the phycological (transformation, acceptance of becoming a monster, fear), social relationships, religion (both Vampire, and conflicts with previously held human beliefs), and political problems facing Vampire life.

They became ghosts because someone shouted the wrong pronoun at them. Get your facts straight (no, scratch that, get them gay), you misogynist, transphobic shitlord. The only cure is getting the right pronoun to show inclusivity! Healthy at every stage of decomposition or etherealness!

Ah the typical "you are playing the game wrong". I have no idea whether that's canon in WoD but to me that seems a little silly from a thematic perspective. As from a gameplay perspective, it's the designer's job to do anything they can to curate the player's experience. Blaming the player for "min-maxing" that results in a sub-par experience, when the game encourages them to do so in any way, is just a poor excuse for flawed design. Plus min-maxing doesn't have to stand in the way of RP, but in this case it does. Even non min-maxer average players, will always have that information in the back of their head that may conflict with RP preference, or just do it compulsively for the bonuses (believe it or not, not only min-maxers do that), when it comes to choosing their feeding targets.

One thing I don't like is that by starting as a thin blood, probably best you can get is 13th gen. full Vamp using diablerie.
Which means you are going to be pretty weak by WoD standards. In Bloodlines 1 you were like 8th gen according to blood pool (IIRC) and you felt like a badass.
13th gen could work in PnP but for a single player RPG idk.
