I agree wholeheartedly on the lack of dialogue from villagers. For a game where the main"material" revolves around creating a tiny town on your island, the residents need more love. It's a massive letdown for every villager of the exact same personality type to basically say the exact same handful of lines to you.

It seems like ACNH was a rushed job produced by a recently formed indie game business consisting of like 10 people and not like one of the biggest game businesses that had 9 years to create it, like I literally can't imagine how they were able to put that little effort into it and despite ACNH being a major bestsellers because it released they nevertheless want people to cough up more money for a couple of villagers and furniture when a second complaint is the huge shortage of furniture (I have not gotten anything new apart from seasonal/event items in months...)

I am gonna be devil's advocate and say acnh has the island development feature that probably took a great deal of developer time to create, refine, and debug. Balancing the series requirement to have a bunch of collectibles, bunch of furniture, bunch of clothes, and now having the ability to place things outside with rain/wind effects is not a simple feat. I've got my 1000 hours of drama in the sport, wish things might be better/different, and expect other developers are inspired by the acnh mechanisms to make it their very own in a fresh game. Like stardew valley failed using its inspiration from harvest moon/story of seasons. So many good mechanics and ideas should be implemented by skillful developers and thought people like yourself.
