This is random, but I don't really like the fact that we can just buy anything we see in the model homes. It makes it too easy to obtain all the pieces in a collection of furniture. I liked how it was exciting in past games when you would randomly come across a piece of furniture you've been wanting. Now there doesn't really seem to be much of a challenge or a hunt... How do you guys feel about this feature?

i agree with you honestly
i dont think we should be able to buy whatever we want to
we should have to get it ourselves nd not be able to buy it outright when we see others have it
though it wont affect me really since ive never street passed anybody with my 3ds since i got it when it was released >.<

Exactly. If someone were to have an entire, complete collection in their home, then well, so can you. Just like that. Seems way too easy. But like you, I haven't street passed a soul, either (though I wish otherwise).

Yeah, I can get that. Remember though, it's only through SteetPass as far as we know. So for many people, these model homes won't be very common to see. I was also thinking maybe there's some kind of extra tax on items when you buy them through the Model Homes. Like a Modern Bed might cost 2,200 Bells from Nook but in a Model Home it costs 3,200.

EDIT: As for buying an entire collection, I doubt that's possible. There's probably a limit on how many items you can buy per home.

Hmm. Maybe. An input of a tax would be a good idea, although I don't think that's likely.

I didn't like that either, so I am hoping the items that are "Not for Sale" in your catalog can't be bought by streetpass homes either, like you won't be able to purchase the fish or fossils in there. I probably won't buy anything from streetpass homes.

And Redd sells sculptures, FINALLY! It's just so amazing. :'D
 
Even if I do manage to street pass with other people, I won't be buying more than one or two items at the very most.

I'm happy to hear that characters that were only in the GameCube version are returning! Crossing my fingers and hoping Quetzal is back as well! He was my favorite villager when I was a child. D: Then he moved to my brother's town after I visited his town... then my brother's memory card corrupted and he lost the town. I was heartbroken.

As for the cave... I was kind of looking forward to the idea of spelunking through the caves. Would have been a nice place to find gemstones! Though since they haven't mentioned it yes, I suppose it was either a wild guess based on the village concept art, or might be something super secret that they want us to discover while playing the game.

As much as I would have loved the cave, it's becoming less and less plausible. It could perhaps be a secret being kept until the game's release, but I'm not holding my breath for the cave anymore. But with all the new features, who needs it?
 
Yeah, I won't be all that disappointed if there's no cave. I'll be too busy playing with all the other features the game has to offer! :)
 
Didn't want to quote everybody, but buying furniture in streetpass won't ruin the game as much as you may think.

First off you have to streetpass someone, and there is no sure way to know they will have all kinds of things you want. It gives you an opportunity to grab something you may not see for months. Don't worry too much over it! :D

Yeah, it's just like trading furniture with people on forums. If you don't want to buy from the streetpass homes, you don't have to. I'm not going to (the odds of me even streetpassing someone are about 2% anyways.)
 
I'll probably buy plenty from the village. I'm not gonna wait for something I really want if I can have it right then, that just seems silly :D I'm never a solid-set player, really. I just like to make interesting things and get FS points for the HRA through the roof w/o strict sets.
 
The only reason I even try to collect full sets of furniture is so I can get the HRA points to get all the prizes. After that I can decorate my house however I want and never have to deal with them again. I've never been fond of the HRA. I dislike being graded on how I want to decorate my house and at the same time my OCD of wanting to accomplish every little thing prevents me from just ignoring them for the get-go.

Poor Lyle, stuck working for those guys.

I think it's just furniture that you can buy. No fish, bugs, fossils, wallpaper, or flooring. And I'm sure you won't be able to buy rare items that you get from special NPCs, either. Basically, I think it's any of the furniture you could buy from the catalog at Nook's store in previous games.
 
So I'm really sorry that I don't know how to get the "spoiler" box here, but I think you'll enjoy this. Some info repeated, a good bit is very new. From the AXA forums.

Just a few extra bits of information about this game. All this information comes from a translated Famitsu article, and more is currently being translated as I type this.

Most of that is already known, but yeah it's a nice collection
 
Yeah, it's a nice collection but it's pretty much all already known. Either from August Scans or Nintendo Direct.
 
Hi Jake, not sure if u know about this, but there is a thread that I think is worth linking here. It's 'Face/Hair Styles' and was started by Ozzie. It's got loads of pics of the faces and hairstyles seen for both boys and girls. Its quite similar to Volvagia's notes on eye colours.
