And then I think to myself: "yes, but for an anniversary pack, I'm not choosing the cat as the key art animal..."
Which is why it just puts me in disbelief that it "will be" a Zookeepers/Anniversary Animal Pack
If it was the last DLC, I would use really random animals (completely unconnected to each other, this dictionary leak strongly hinted at it), as they did in JWE2, although, I don't take JWE2 as some kind of determinant here....
At least that's what I would do...
For me, regardless of theme, the Pallas Cat is one of the biggest no-brainers to put as a key art animal.
Same for me, although I'm looking forward to markhor the most out of these three
Only just, all the banners up to that time immediately indicated what it was going to be, even for the average gamer who is not necessarily familiar with the genres.... I know that fewer and fewer of these “known” animals are left, because the large majority are already in the game, but here it is probably just justified “show the small cat, there was no such thing yet, people will buy.”
