I take this options like:
  • Essential: I want it back in PZ2 because we already paid for it and barely needs any remaster
  • Save for PZ2 DLCs/Deluxe: I want it back but it needs a big remaster and maybe it will bring associated animals really wanted by me (like Giant Panda as a headliner of a Chinese DLC)
  • Doesn’t need to make it but sure : i would change it for a similiar/related animal
  • Can be left out entirely: i don't want it back in any way

So, for me, Tasmanian Devil is Essential (we waited so long for it)
Yes. Same.
 
Animal #5 - Tasmanian Devil

Which category does it fit into?

  • Essential for Planet Zoo 2 Base Game
  • Save for PZ2 DLCs/Deluxe
  • Doesn’t need to make it but sure
  • Can be left out entirely

Essential. It is a unique, iconic and excellent representation of Oceania. Plus I love their cries and it's one of the animals that was on my wish list. Additionally found in certain zoos such as Le Pairi Daiza
 
Tasmanian Devils fall into the essential category for me. Not because I think of them as staple zoo animals (from a world wide perspective) but because even losing one single animal from Oceania would create a hole in the roster. Like South America, Oceania needs just about every animal it has without losing anything in the sequel.

For South America and Oceania it isn’t “one step forward, two steps back” it would be “one step forward, four steps back”.

I’ll admit, even if they aren’t the most charismatic, any South American or Oceanian animal falls into “essential” territory for me.
 
My placement for the Tasmanian Devil:
This ones a bit tricky - obviously we need to have Australian animals in the base PZ2, but there are so many iconic ones like the Koala and Kangaroo its hard to justify if the devil should make it in with those. I put it in essential cause it feels like an oddball that would fit with the base game but I could totally understand if they save it for deluxe or a DLC later down the line for example an Islands Pack.

Sheep - DLC, maybe an other species like the Jacobs Sheep or Valais Blacknose Sheep or Quessant Sheep
Tassie Devil - Essential/DLC, for me it wouldn't be super important for the base game, outside of Oceania it is a very rare species
GG Tortoise - Essential, This is the ultimate tortoise, along with the African spurred tortoise.

Absolutely essential, to me the Aldabra tortoise would be dlc territory. As long as they don’t mess up the sizing I can’t have my zoo game without my endangered giant tortoises!
