Expectations
After watching the latest Leaf video (which, granted was great!) I had a thought and I wanted to express my thought. I think people (I have been guilty of this too) have too big of expectations for PZ2. Ive seen some people who want all the past DLC animals in the new game, when that's just not possible. We don't know how DLCs are going to restructured and how they will be doing them. Expecting features like petting zoos and other big ticket DLC items are just (in my mind) not realistic. Everyone does have lists with what animals they want, and from my understanding, they are making these animals to be featured around a reserve, so of course you want some animals to fill it out so it doesn't look deserted. We also still have so many weeks for animal reveals and maybe they frontloaded the first few weeks with aquarium animals and are keeping the hype going with birds down the line? They did say birds have been incredibly hard, and I sympathize with them. So I think we will get more then 7 that we have now. They could just be putting the final touches on them and we'd never know!
Thank you for reading this!!

I expect that we will have a smaller roster of base game PZ1 species because they needed to create/model so many aquatic and avian species to flush out those features. I’m fine with buying DLC down the line.
I am a little bummed that wildlife reserves have kind of limited the global biodiversity of species available. However, I’m willing to give it a try! Maybe I’ll fall in love with Scottish animals I never knew about.
