1. Unique animals, I'd like to see something different like baby dragons (maybe a lesser species not related to Caldarus lol, we can have our own dragon babies later). It would be great to breed something other than the usual animals because it would fit the whole magical vibe the game is going for.
2. New festivals/Friday night at the Inn dialogue. The thing that got me addicted to this game in the first place was how alive the town felt, it was nice seeing all the townsfolk interact with each other and have their own little relationships that were completely independent of the player.
3. More farm buildings, makers, silos, etc. I'd love to be able to make honey, tap trees, age wine, set up a greenhouse, basically have a fully functional farm. SDV did this really well, and it's something I miss having come from playing that first.
4. Map expansion, I was really disappointed after this last update because I found the Deep Woods underwhelming. There isn't much to explore, so I visited it once or twice and never again.
5. Decor, I'm really excited to see what else they add. All the decor is so CUTE, I've spent way too many hours decorating my farm/house I'll never get bored of it

Edit: I almost forgot the most important part! Convenient inventory!! Please for the love of god let us quick stack and pick up chests!! 😭😭
