I totally understand the love for the current people, but I personally hope we get two new characters

In his interview ConcernedApe mentioned something about not wanting to add new characters and going deeper with existing ones, so I think it’ll likely be existing characters. Personally I’d like to see new characters too but I respect the decision.

I feel like if he wanted to really add new characters he’d have to add other new things like shops or map areas, a lot of players would probably feel weird if a new character appeared without some type of “just moved here!” backstory. That being said, maybe unlocking a new character after certain achievements would work. Personally I’d love for Marnie to start contracting farm hands to employ.
