Aesop versus Classic Fantasy

I'd like to open this journal with a question.  For those of you who are tactical rpg fans, if you were presented with two possible themes, which would currently catch your fancy? [Bear in mind that the game itself will have a relatively serious story regardless].

1.] A "traditional" feel with knights/mages et al.

OR

2.] "Aesop's Fables" style in which the characters are represented by animals.

I look forward to your comments :D [Probably not on this blog, but on devart]!

On a side note, I have some piled up sketches  need to get off my chest:

Cheers!
