I hope its 15, I think that would be the perfect middle-ground between too little and too many.
So, the max villager limit?

I've only seen this mentioned maybe once on this thread, but I'd really love for there to be 12 villager slots. I think 15 is too many considering we can have 8 human characters, as many have already said, and 10 is kinda eh. 10 isn't bad, but I'd prefer a couple extra, especially considering I can't have 40 villagers across 4 towns without buying 3 more Switches. 
The least that could happen is I get a compromise of 2 more lol

From what I've seen, the island is not that much bigger. Yes, you can put houses on the beaches, but you also have to have space for all the shops and the museum. I don't want more than 10, maybe 12, because of the space. We can do so much more with outdoor spaces in this version of AC and I want to really take advantage of that.
I'd really love to have the option to fill human villager slots with more animals. I will more than likely never have a second human character/villager, but I'd love to have a ton more animal villagers!
I do hope either way that we can get a couple extra animal villagers (12, 15?) since they added so many more human villager slots.

the only thing that could make or break this game is if it doesn't actually work
i think there should only be 12 villagers. like someone else has said, if you have 12 villagers, that plus 8 player characters makes 20 total residents on the island. i do not think that if you don't have all 8 player characters on your island that you should be able to get more villagers; in my opinion having more than 10 is already a bit too much, especially if you're one to make a point of talking to every villager a few times or so a day. while the videos we've seen make it seem like the island is bigger than the new leaf town, i feel like that's a bit of an illusion. yes it noticeably is more spacious, but i feel like we'll still feel that space restriction that was prevalent in the previous game, especially when we hit later game and have a lot of furniture outside. having more than 12 villagers, with 8 possible fully upgraded homes, would definitely make space seem more scarce.
regardless if the limit is 12 or not, i'd like to limit the amount of villagers that move in to that number (if the number is higher, can't really reach 12 if you can only have 9 you know?). i feel like any more than that is just a chore to keep up with, which is funny to say because the game is kind of just one big chore in a way. while a bit off topic, i do hope that getting rid of (and keeping) villagers is easier in this game than in new leaf because while i may love some of my villagers, i would like to experience more as time goes on to keep the game fresh. keeping a villager im iffy on for a whole year just because they won't ask to move out is a bit annoying, but i think it'd be a bit rude to just kick them off the island.

Giving a villager the boot would ascend the player to ultimate dictator status! "now you must leave"
I do hope it is easier to get new villagers and have them move out easier because I do want to see a lot of villagers in the game (the graphics are too good!), but the boot option might make all that power go to my head and I'll end up kicking off everyone that I don't absolutely love...
EDIT: if you could eminent domain a villager's house for a shop or something...

someone pointed out in another thread that our (first only?) character has the Resident Rep. stamp on their passport which may mean Resident Representative which could entail us dealing with the residents who show up on the island. we already know that we can kinda choose (idk if it's confirmed but it's a very strong assumption) who shows up on our island, and we even choose where they live. like irl you just pick where you live. our role is kinda already dictator-y tbh. we can literally make our dream world so that's why i'm not bothered with the prospect of us choosing who stays or moves out.

So...this video cropped up on the Japanese YT Channel for Animal Crossing. Pay attention to the boy in the blue jacket. He comes across 23 unique villagers!
Fang, Drake, Coach, Tiffany, Colton, Eloise, Vesta, Apollo, Punchy, Lyman, Rocket, Chadder, Admiral, Bob, Henry, Peanut, Olivia, Hamlet, Iggly, Peggy, Filbert, Marshal and Rosie!
I didn’t count the others since they could be different towns.

I don’t wan too many villagers. I feel like the 10 limit was good enough and if you add 1-5 more that’s ok as well. But if they go crazy and add like 25 , I’m sure I’ll go crazy as well. I can’t handle trying to keep soo many islanders at the same time. Who know maybe they let us decide how many we want in there.
