i would have loved the option to have 12 max, but i know thats born out of an indecisiveness on what villagers i want haha! its hard balancing those i got attached to in the older games, and getting to know new ones, but obviously thats not everyones experience neccesarily. more wouldve been nice, but i dont feel like them keeping the limit of 10 made it a worse experience or anything like that either!
Also, how is it too small?
We've got way more space than in New Leaf and that had a 10 villager cap.
We also didn't have choice as to where the villagers would move (unless you were down for doing 100 resets).
I was hoping for there to be more villagers than in New Leaf, so I am a little disappointed about that. Will make it a bit harder to figure out who gets to live on my island long-term.
I’m fine with 10 villagers but it would be cool if the maximum was raised to 15. I have a lot of favorite villagers and it would be cool to have more plots open for them but 10 is alright.
i'm fine with the max being 10 villagers, mostly due to how big your island is. if there was a way to 'expand' your island in a future update, or even the return of obtaining another island in some shape or form ... then i can advocate for an extra couple villagers.
