I figured this would be the case. They like the number 10 these days and with the ability to have 8 humans on an island (a kind of ability Nintendo will WAY overestimate being used at all) I figured anything over that number would be wishful thinking.
Wild World and New Leaf I understood because of technical limitations, but there is literally no reason for it to still be 10. 10 is not enough for me. I want 15, but would have been fine with 12.
I don't want 8 human villagers. Let me use those slots for villagers.
