I voted don't care, because the reality is... I really don't. Would it be nice to see more sages? Sure, if it makes sense with the story and they have a reason for being there. If they're thrown in though because they have some sort of sage quota to reach? Well that's the wrong reason to include any kind of character, so I wouldn't want them in that case. They should only be in the game if they are supposed to be in it for story-related reasons. Not just because they feel obligated to include them.
But it's not like it's a dealbreaker either way. Sages being in a game is not a selling point for me in any sense, so it doesn't matter.
