I don't know what to do.

[Mayor Monday]

It just takes getting use to, like with NL.
I hated NL the first day I played it.

Me, too! Way back when NL first came out, I watched the trailers and dismissed it as 'too much'. I continued to play CF for years. lol

I'm a skeptic- but I don't care. New games/consoles need to grow on me. Sometimes they just don't.

 

[Envy]

The amiibo function was what?
Meet them but no mention of being able to invite them to move in, and no RV's with the amiibo items?
Maybe that happens on Harvey's island.

This could be a good thing. The items might be in the game naturally without having to rely on Amiibo cards to get them. Or that's what I'm hoping anyway.

 

[John Wick]

When this game was first shown off at e3 I hated it. It looked bad to me graphically. The crafted I hated. I watched the trailer and direct after and began to love it. I love it so much so far. The walking animation still looks a bit off lol, but I’ll get used to it.

The plastic hair will take some getting use to, but I saw facial hair! I CAN be John Wick, plus I have a constant 5 o'clock shadow in RL.

I've been playing AC since 2005.

I've been playing just as long, but I am super excited as always to get new installment of Animal Crossing. Let's be real, New Leaf changed the direction of the series. It gave us the power to place our homes anywhere we wanted, it made us the mayor, which allowed us to build PWP, and place specific things like the coffee shop. It gave us quick tool swapping. It also gave us legs and pants! No one complained, and we all loved New Leaf. New Horizons is even better, and after seeing the direct today, I am 1,000,000x more excited. Animal Crossing has had some depressing elements to it. (Maybe just to me and others with OCD)

• Villagers move to bad spots in the town.
• Map is terrible. Takes hours to find a good map, but nothing is ever perfect.
• Poor choice as to who moves in the town.
• Tools are essential, but take up a good chunk of inventory.

With these up coming changes, we have the power to have the town (our island) the way we want.

• We choose where our house goes, we choose where the villagers house goes.
• In the direct, nook mentioned 3 villagers have filled an application to move in. I'm almost certain this means we get to look over the applications and approve who moves in.
• We get to place (possible) the museum, and other stores.
• WE LITERALLY GET TO BUILD THE RIVERS AND TERRAIN!!!!!!!
• We get to choose a hemisphere
• We get to place furniture outside! I wanted this since the beginning of Animal Crossing!
• We get a fancy house modeling system (similar to HHD)
• We get a tool ring (unknown if excluded from inventory space. but hopeful)

As some one who enjoys Animal Crossing, and has played it as long as I do, I am ecstatic anytime they release new mainline game, and anything they can do to improve the experience, I am all open for.

 

[Stevey Queen]

I don't know how I feel, so don't hate me.

A few things on my mind.

Can we still have a simple single river that divides the island in to two large parts without all the levels?
I don't want to get lost. I liked the flat town of NL style much better, and for me, would be easier to landscape.

Probably. And if anything you can just terraform it

Mostly, It didn't feel like AC.

I think what I didn't like the most besides the plastic blobs of hair, was the 'Nook Miles Tickets'.

Why tickets?
Can't we pay things off and unlock things with good old fashoned AC Bells anymore?

Its a second currency kinda like meow tickets but more useful

The Nook Phone. Bare with me here folks.
I've had only a mobile phone (not a PC) since 2007, and looking at the Nook Phone with it's Nook miles 'tickets', and the bland UI of the whole inventory made me feel like I went from my Android, to another more bland OS.

Months to unlock apps?
The very word 'app' makes me cringe.

If anything it?s just a modern cute way to include a menu which we?ve always had

I liked Main Street, and having things in a certain place, though it was good to see familiar shop NPC's, I thought, or hoped they would set up shop elsewhere, as it feels like a themed island will be hard with shops everywhere. Though I think we choose where they go?

I agree. I wish there was a shopping district. At least you can relocate the shops after placing

This feels like Tom Nook/Nintendo is in full control, and we are under the illusion of being in control.

Just like Isabelle was secretly in control in new leaf?

The paths you can't make until later on I think, when your island is fully decked out?

You probably get the ability earlier on than you think. And if anything you can relocate buildings

How do we do that if we can't landscape paths early on?

I mean, that's the first thing I would do, and even then, it's just confusing, like a sandbox.

How long do we have to water flowers before we get something like a beautiful town ordinance?
I hope there is one or I'd end up with a flowerless island. LOL

Good question!

I kinda miss the simpler AC.

I feel that not many questions were really answered, only that there will be an 'offer' to get PC items(?) and that will no doubt, cost more real money.

The first update is right away, so we can get an Easter event that should already be part of the game. So right away it's a data drain, for my offline game.

Christmas is an event too.
Why aren't Zipper and Jingle already programmed in for Easter and Christmas?

Why are these regular in game events now in a downloadable update, like the PC seasonal updates?

Games take time to develop. They probably decided to focus on the core gameplay and put holidays to the side and focus on them as they come

The museum looked nice.

Agreed!

On to bushes that I love.
Not a single one.

Weed looking grass that looks permanent covers quite a bit of the plastic grass that has barely a trace of the triangle/square/round pattern(s) I was used to.

The graphics for me are kind of a shiny plastic, with little definition.
One eagle villager (Keaton?) looked like he was made of paper. No dimentions or depth.

I kinda noticed that too. Some looked better than others

Again, don't hate me for this.

The amiibo function was what?
Meet them but no mention of being able to invite them to move in, and no RV's with the amiibo items?
Maybe that happens on Harvey's island.

I?d have to rewatch it I don?t remember. Kinda glad there?s not an easy way to move villagers in

Again, no information on character limits.

Ugh I know but that?s not really something they would mention in a direct


Ok. That's it.
I just don't know what to do.

This could be a good thing. The items might be in the game naturally without having to rely on Amiibo cards to get them. Or that's what I'm hoping anyway.

I want to use my amiibo's to move in my usual gang.

 

[oath2order]

I want my flat town, with one river that divides it, and no levels.

Can we still have that?

Did it say you can't.

I get what you mean about it not feeling like AC. But there would be complaints from people if it was too similar to the past games.

I would think you could have a simple river style since you can terraform now.

You can invite the villagers to your campsite then to your town.

The phone is no different than the other menus in the game in the past. Works the same way.

Maybe the paths are unlocked early on. I hope so anyway.

I don't really see an issue with the free updates. Holidays aren't close anyways.

Idk I think it is great this feels like a completely new experience. It really feels like a game that will have things to do years down the line. I used to time travel in all the games before this and reset my games so often. This feels like a game where you can really give your island a new makeover when you get bored. No need to reset.

Maybe you should hold off on buying it since it seems like the cons outweighs the pros for you.

Yeah that was one of the biggest issues of City Folk iirc. Too similar to WW.

 

[John Wick]

Answered your questions in bold

All makes sense, though I hope I can use my amiibo's. It wouldn't feel like home without old mate Wolfgang.

About holidays. If you don't update, there's no Easter or Christmas?
It's just weird. The update doesn't store on the cart, so.. that's all part of being locked to the one console until it dies I guess.

I just haven't seen a map that only divided into two.

So far they've been three.

That is probably something you would have to do yourself after unlocking the ability to use the terraforming tools. So, while it isn't there on default, you can probably do it because they have given us the tools to do it. It would just take effort to do.

Dig a river after turning the unwanted part into land.
I like lots of wide open spaces.

Exactly! And then your island can be your own paradise!

 

[shuba]

I want to use my amiibo's to move in my usual gang.

I thought it was heavily implied you could do that.
In the direct, the villager scans an amiibo, and then the character on the amiibo appears in the campsite, saying "thanks for inviting me!"

Yep but I don't think I can use my Felyne or Link amiibo's to get Felyne and Epona.

I do like the new horse villager though!

The special villagers such as those mentioned along with the Sanrio aren't in the game. However all S1-4 and Welcome amiibo villager cards will allow a villager to move in.

Basically all villagers in New Leaf minus Sanrio and the special amiibo ones are in.

I never moved any series 5 RV villagers in I don't think.

I've got cards for my favs, Wolfgang, Freya, Cherry etc.

 

[debinoresu]

i brought this up in the other thread but there are perks for people of other cultural and religious backgrounds to have conventional holidays be optional DLC. having DLC holiday events also opens up the opportunity to have each holiday have new items and new holidays to be introduced. it also opens up opportunity for less conventional holidays like kwanzaa or hanukkah-you can pick which to celebrate (or all if you want!) ive also seen multiple people say they dont want to dl holidays bc they felt disruptive to gameplay, which is another good option opened up by holidays being DLC. there are many good possibilities. so it isnt all bad.

 

[John Wick]

I just think it should already be there, and the choice is to take part, or not, rather than download something that should already be there.

 

[John Wick]

The more I think about it the weirder it sounds.

It's not a complete game if the first update is right away.

Downloading Easter.
I say it out loud and it sounds absurd.
Downloading holidays in Animal Crossing because why?

It saves on the console, all the updates/holidays, and they aren't a natural part of the game anymore.

Seasonal updates. Just like PC.
No. This is wrong.

 

[d3_3p]

I get where you're coming from. There are tons of positives, but some weirdness, too. I also dislike seems "phones" and "apps" in the game. And I also don't know how I feel about Nook Miles. I don't want crafting AT ALL, leave it to Stardew. I liked the old economy better. I still don't know a lot of stuff. How many villagers are there, why do we need updates, are there microtransactions... it does feel different, but that's not a bad thing. I think we'll have to wait and see.
