In my opinion, the new update is very poor. A patched piece of the island, the textures of the trees, the environment, the ground in the forest are simply poor.
Nothing of interest was added in the village itself.
If new characters appear, they are based on existing animations.
New options appear, some are interesting, but it goes in such a way that all options will be available to everyone. Ultimately, there will be one schematic, just another NPC "pack".
I like this production very much, the animations are gorgeous. However, it cannot be denied that with such a pace of progress, even 10 years will not be enough for a beta version of some whole thing to come out.
