Because the cast is split between three towns every town feels comically tiny. They're so disparate it feels like a themepark instead of an actual world.
When I try to think of any of the villagers, my mind pulls a blank, except for that fursuit guy, who I naturally married. The cast is particularly dull here. If the writing was as serious as the N64 game they'd at least seem dull in a realistic way, but the modern setting is as fluffy as ever so they're just empty people living in candyland.
the mining suffers from the usual modern bokumono trait of being a pared down daily where you smack a single rock in town. i used the online once, saw it wasn't as OP as A New Beginning, and then never used it again.
Where this game really shines is its town rating quests, which I thought was a fun little way to incentivize different tasks. Maxing out each town kept me going for a long time.
