I get what you are saying and can somewhat see truth in it, but at the same time a game like Animal Crossing will always have a "shallow" part to it I feel. There is only so much you can do when working with AI and you can add in a million different items, in the end that only adds a "plastic" depth. Given what you can do to extend or deepen that shallow feel, I feel they did a lot, by the massive amount of charm and customization. The parts where they can add depth, I feel they did it quite well. But I do see where you are coming from. It must be tough as nails though to make a game like Animal Crossing feel like a deep and immersive experience.
Game still not finished?

Are you kidding me?
Might that have anything to do with the fact that the game came out in Japan several months before it was released in the west? Hm?
This thread is going places. Several places.
I've already made a post with the same gist, but since it's about being unfinished, it's not quite the same: Nintendo has an absurdly high standard when it comes to first party quality. If it's coming right out of them, there's a set standard that has to be met. I severely doubt New Horizons came out unfinished, I think the update method is to add more content to seasonal events (along with avoiding time travel to get everything immediately)- and to add in old characters that they had no clue how to implement, or to prevent spoilers, since they stated New Horizons is going to have much more of an ongoing plot, similar to Wild World and City Folk having more development for the Able Sisters and Tom Nook. It could very well be that other NPCs are getting the same treatment.
They took a delay to prevent rushed development and to prevent release of an unfinished game, how can these omissions be anything but on purpose for those two reasons I listed? Of course, that's a theory of mine. Nintendo hasn't been known to release things blatantly unfinished, so it's more like an educated guess from me. If it actually is unfinished, then they're getting right on the ball with fixing that, with the day one updates and confirmed patches and all that.

Doesn't help Japan got the game 8 months before we did. 8 months is almost as long as we've been waiting since E3 2019.

that's a really weird way to think about it in my opinion. why should games not be fully published at release day?
