I agree with you both. Since they are playersexual it will not only make things easier on them, as it will make it better for players who like a certain character and aren't forced to play a gender they don't like just for the romance. This is far worst in my opinion.
The only thing they need to change in my opinion (and I'm pretty sure that they will if their interviews are to be believed) is the approach and add the dialogues, like flirting to let us, the players decide who to pursuit from the beginning and not having them all wanting to jump on our character at the same time.
