No it wasn't confirmed.
I wanted at least 15 but after seeing the map, I hope the limit is 12. I would even settle for 10 again.
The town size just doesnt support the villager cap I wanted, especially since it sounds like we have to build a bunch of shops and facilities on the island.
I know, I found the island to be very underwhelming in terms of size. Thats why I am hoping that there are multiple islands that you can travel to. It would be nice if as you progress and pay off your loan Tom Nook invests the money into buying other islands to have other inhabitants on. Either that or hopefully the island is a lot bigger than we think and that the grid covers more land then we think. I think it was 6x6 when I looked at it, but the entire surrounding area was basically water and mountain.
I know. Somebody did some rough math and said the map is almost as big as city Folk but it really doesnt look like it. The grassy area is only 4?4. Theres one segment in the treehouse stream where the player comes from her house all the way up to the villagers house in like 5 seconds. That was half the size of the map, vertically . You can put houses and stuff on the beach this time but still. That's just the beach. It would nice if animal villagers could live on the beach too but that's not confirmed either.
