Does your game feel finished?

Not in the slightest.
I only have two out of ten dreamies (and every day I go into Wade's basic lazy house I strongly consider letting him leave if he asks and hunting him again someday so he can have his nice, real house).
I've only finished terraforming one small area, and now I'm not even done decorating that area. I've barely touched any other areas.
I still need to reposition my shops and museum.
I still have June-February bugs and fish to catch and put into my museum. Not to mention a small handful of fossils and all but two works of art.
My house is a colossal mess and I'd like to get enough furniture to finally do what I want with it.

Not for me. I have around 130 hours in and I don’t have a sixth villager, I haven’t had KK visit me nor the terraforming unlocked or what I even want to make of my island in the end, though some of the Bunny Day items along side the fossils are giving me ideas of either dinosaur or dragon themed island. I’m really taking my time with it as I’m occupied otherwise by daily work. If anything, I’m still in the beginning of the game.

Definitely not >~< I still have a lot of things to do as I am faaaaar from done. Maybe it’s because I’m a massive perfectionist, but if something doesn’t look picturesque or “perfect”, I’ll continue working on it until it does. I’ve been getting lots of inspiration from looking at other islands so I’ve been doing a massive overhaul on my island, but it kinda has been burning me out ngl. I have to remind myself that there’s going to be more things added in the future so it’s probably a good idea to slow down.

I have over 250+ hours into the game. I have time traveled to cycle out villagers and/or move buildings around as well as order more stuff from the catalog. (BOOKS omg) But I'm in no rush to complete stuff like the museum. I ended in September the last time I seriously TT'd and I never caught any of the bugs/fish there b/c I wanna get them naturally. I have my island planned out, but I haven't actually terraformed in days b/c I'm too lazy lmao. Remember to pace yourself always so this doesn't happen. I only plan on working on one area per day so that keeps me busy.
If you have already caught all the stuff and gotten all the fossils as well as finished terraforming your island, yeah it may seem like there's nothing to do.

Lol, not even close. Most of my villagers are still living on the beach, because I've still got more than half an island to terraform and build roads on.
Going against the grain, but I restarted today because I felt more or less finished.
I don't time travel, but a combination of too many bells from tips and turnips, trading for hybrids and overuse of terraforming left me really unsatisfied. I haven't used online services for AC games before and I'm used to a much slower pace and doing everything myself; with NH after just 6 weeks my island was almost perfect which is just ridiculous to me.
I've restarted, and I'm avoiding trading with anyone except the small circle of friends who also ply AC; I want that slower pace back. I actually miss making the bulk of my money from catching fish and bugs

No, not at all.
And I put 280 hours into the game already.
I feel like I'm just getting started with the Island decorating.
I'm taking things day by day. I'm also trying to experience more villagers before acquiring all my "dreamies"- I only have 3 really but the rest I plan on rotating. I'm not decorating my Island to the point of making it hard to move things around in case we get more standalone buildings in the future.

I'm... not even close to finished. I've literally only developed the bottom right 4 acres of my map, and I'm still not satisfied with them so I keep changing them up. I have about 75% of the map to get started with. I do have 6 dreamies already, but I just enjoy having them so much, so I doubt I'll get bored of them.
Nope, I still have tons I want to do on my island and so many things I want to try. Even if I have a lot of the items I want on my island I'm still trying to test new things, and 50% of my island is still has a lot of potential so... the only thing I wish I could work on more is my house!
No and I never finish any of my towns in any of my games lol I'm always going back and rearranging things, I'm currently 370 hours in with a 4 star island still in the what is my goal here? where is this incline gonna go? what will take up this space? phase lol
eta: I don't TT or trade online super often I like the slow pace of a relaxed grind so that my progress is slow but enjoyable bc I feel like for me that's the point of animal crossing... keywords there is for me tho haha it helps me from that restless feeling of being 'done'

yikes!
the main storyline yes, but my island is still crappy and I really want to put in the work to make it something I can be proud of!

No, not even close. I've only finished like a fifth of my island. :S
I'm such a perfectionist too, that there's a chance I'll just keep changing things even once they're "done" so I'm not even if I'll ever get to that point.

My game feels like a slow work in progress. Still have plenty of seasonal fish and insects to get, since I don't TT. Have a handful of fossils left to donate. And I only donated a single painting, since I have literally not seen Redd a second time after the initial update. All that aside, I also have items that I know I want for my house, but don't yet have...and plans for each of my rooms that are far from being completed. So...yeah, just a slow grind for me. My game doesn't feel finished at all.

With all the furniture sets missing from previous entries (and I do mean all of them from Green to Rococo), I've abandoned house decoration and gotten pretty bored. House decoration and collecting/completing furniture sets were one of the main draws for me. Without it, the rest of the missing content from NL makes the game feel like it was intentionally carved apart for the sake of updates. I really hope the furniture sets make a return but I'm not holding my breath. It's heartbreaking not to be in love with an Animal Crossing title for once.

I am 450 hours into it, and well....It is complete for now.
Half of my map is a giant empty field. I don't want to fill my island with random spots that aren't "me". I'm not going to put an outside diner, or a zen garden, or a whatever, just because that's the furniture that's given to me. Those things aren't me, and they would feel disingenuous. So I would rather have large empty spaces for when they do release new furniture. I really hope some of the sets from Pocket Camp make it over, they were the best.
But that's also why it felt so rewarding when I randomly saw that Lily-Of-The-Valley on the ledge while I was walking around. Even with half my map an empty field, I knew that every single piece of furniture, flower, and tree, was placed there because I wanted it there. I wasn't filling my island with "stuff" just to achieve a 5-Star rating.
My next mini-goal is to get Gold with the HHA. I currently have 130K points, but 150K is Gold. It'll be hard because my basement is a warehouse rave theme - and they tend to be empty of furniture. So it challenges my creativity to see how to achieve that score while still making the scene feel authentic.
So - Have I done all that I can in this time period? Yeah. I have all my dream villagers. I have bred every single type and color variation of flower. The fossil section of the museum is complete. My island is 5 Star. But there are SO many things left, and I while I do TT to complete construction, I would never TT out of season, so I can experience fish, bugs, new furniture, and events, all for the first time.
