Do you want the shops to be on your island or on a separate island?

Hmm, interesting question. For me it depends on the options for building aesthetics. I'd love if we could choose how certain venues looked, as in HHD. But if they're all super modern-looking like in New Leaf, I think I'd prefer them on a separate island..?

I'd like Able's, the post office, the museum, Re-Tail, the Roost, and whatever the equivalent of Nook's/T&T's store is to be on our island, but stuff like the Dream Suite, GracieGrace, Club LOL/the Marquee, and the HRA/HHA to be somewhere separate, like CF's city. I'm pretty neutral on where Shampoodle, Kicks, and Leif's store go, though.

Man, I'm really torn on this. Originally I wanted all the shops to be on the main island, but considering the NH map being only marginally larger than NL's (apparently), it would probably be more ideal to have just Nook's, the Able Sister's, Re-Tail and some other important buildings to go on the main island and all the other buildings to go somewhere else. Ideally for me all the main buildings from past games (Museum, Town Hall, etc.) would be on the island. If there is a separate location, it would be cool to have a lot of HHD's buildings there like a restaurant or a bakery.

I think the basic shops like Abel sisters, nooks cranny and the museum should be in the town (even leif's building if he comes back), but other stores should be on another island probably even combing some of them

I want them to be on a separate island, or at least have a designated area for them on the island where they aren’t taking up all the space. While I think certain buildings should be on the island itself (like Re-tail, if that comes back. Or whatever the replacement will be for this game) I wouldn’t want every single building back. I don’t know what buildings are going to be in this game, but if they try to bring back all of the previous buildings (post office, Harriet’s, Able sisters, town hall, Brewsters, the museum, Kick’s, the Dream Suite, and so on) plus have the player’s houses and villager’s houses, I feel like that would take up so much space on the island. I feel like there wouldn’t be much room for customization and I wouldn’t like that.

There are already times in New Leaf were buildings, rocks, and ponds interrupted what I wanted to do with my town so I could only imagine what having 20 buildings on my island would be like.

I really would like most of them not to be on my island.

The map size we saw at e3 didn?t look promising even when it was completely barren with one tent and two villager homes.
