I first started playing the game cube version. I remember getting so excited to visit the store to see what furniture was for sell, or catching a new bug or fish that I've never seen. New leaf has some new things, but they kept a lot of the old stuff.The excitement wasn't there anymore.
The scorpions and tarantulas were scary in wild world. I miss that.
I especially miss playing with my kids. They're older now, and have other interests.
New Leaf is still my favorite out of the series. I think they did a great job.
Wisp the ghost was a great guy it's a shame he was pulled again, the gyroid storage was so useful; there's so many of them and they take up so much space. The observatory with the constellations was great too, Celeste must miss it. And Blathers used to ramble on about a fish or bug when you gave it to him but now he just says it'll be explained in the description. It was just a small detail that fleshed out the game personality-wise I suppose but then again, maybe it's character development. A realisation that he was blathering on, but I digress...
Background stories or problems of the NPCs! I used to love hearing the what they had on their mind, like Blathers with his bug fear and Tom Nook with his Timmy/Tommy problem. It'd be interesting to hear what Isabelle or Leif might be feeling, this gave those types of characters emotion in general!
I want the dump/recycle bin to make a return. I get that Re-tail basically fufils that purpose, but it was fun seeing what your villagers would throw away.
i think they should make some meaner than the others ofc, but i remember when i played gamecube (after i had played CF and i believe WW), i noticed how shady they were
The shopping card definitely needs to make a return, I still don't understand why they removed it in the first place. And the recycling bin, getting rid of trash without a garbage can is such a pain
shopping card.
constellations.
I would also greatly enjoy being able to get all of Gracie's furniture at once like in City Folk.
gyroid storage.
Blathers blathering. that's his thing! I was so disappointed that they made him stop. >:
mean villagers would be funny tbh, I want that too.
I want to see more of Sable's backstory unfold when you speak with her :3
Constellations! Very beauty, much cool. Wow.
I also want Serena to come back! 'Cause she gives honest noobs free stuff!
I miss conversations with Blathers! This is a really little personal preference, but I liked how K.K. played his songs in the Roost. It was a nice atmosphere.
I've seen the trees go pink in New Leaf, I can't be sure of the fruit trees in particular but I know all the others do for a fact. Did you just mean the fruit trees in particular? Why? Do fruit trees go pink in real life? I don't know, I'm not sure. This is an intriguing one.
Not sure if this was mentioned or not, but I would love to see the cliffs return. They were so cool. They made the town look somewhat bigger and way more spacious.
Also bigger towns. I don't really like to see a clmp of villagers in one spot or another. I was playing AC on the gamecube a little while ago and it seemed like all the villagers were spread out more. We also had to walk quite a distance to get to their homes.
Acres as well. I'm not sure why, but I just found them a little nifty.
