Just want to know - ^ Can someone explain the journal thing to me? Was it on GC?
Anyway, talking about grass, I was just thinking I would like it better if they made it more ... real looking. I mean, in the past games it was just basically flat ground with green shapes on them. What if they made it a (very short) grass that actually comes out of the ground. Maybe they can make it when it rains it goes a bit greener and if it has not rained for a long time, it may go a bit darker (but not die - that will be just a bad, annoying feature of the game). I am just thinking it would be better if they make the grass as though it could actually be real.
Of course the grass in the upcoming game are still flat shapes on the ground, but I like how it looks that tiny bit more real and better. Talking about the environment I like how the environment looks much better and real. Especially the trees and snow.
What do you think?
Lots of love,

P.s. Add me on the 3ds!
Idk if it was on the GC version (i never had it), but pretty much all it is is going on your game, and opening up a book to write a journal... IMO, why would you bother, you'd be limited to the 3DS's keyboard, which would take longer than writing it out my hand or even typing. If you're going to make a journal, blog about it so it's not only limited to your viewing.
The grass has improved, I think it looks much better, i can understand why you dont agree, but it's an improvement. as for the rain thing. I don't agree, my grass never get's watered, i live in the bush/desert and it never rains, but the grass lives, and it's never watered, it doesn't change color or anything, it's just like that,
I'm not too bothered on graphics. Especially for Animal Crossing, and even more especially for a handheld title.
I'd rather them cram a bunch of good features into the game with less stylized graphics, than have them put a few good features and more styling.
also, I agree with bidoof on the journals.
I'd like some sort of option to add drawings to the bulletin board with your notices.
Two good points here. Yes i'd much prefer gameplay over graphics, i mean the graphics have been downgraded from the first images we got back in 2010. So i'm kinda happy about this
the second point is adding drawings/photos to the bulletin board, i know it's something simple, but it could really add character to the game.
I want there to be a quest/errand tab so you know what things you're able to do. Like, catch a fish for this neighbor, or find this neighbors key. Things like that shown on a menu, and maybe some special quests like catching a rare fish or rare insects would be cool too! Or have more RPG elements when it comes to leveling up for equipping better tools. They probably won't have that, but it's a cool thought.
I like the first part, but i don't like the idea of turning it into an RPG, i think the pace it's at now, and the current tools' functions are enough. Though i wouldn't mind getting a new tool in this game.
