So far I only have two gripes with the game atm. One, I really wish there was some sort of indicator that shows how long our tools will last until they break, sorta like BoTW. Two, I hate how restricted it is to get flowers and stuff. I don't want to waste my Nook Miles on tickets that bring me to the same islands with the same fruit and flowers. I really want roses but there seems to be no way of getting them unless you visit another island through Nintendo Online or continue buying tickets.
Okay, let me start by saying I'm enjoying the game and none if this will stop me from playing. But...
1. Villager dialogue seems really bland. I've heard it gets better as the game goes on but as of right now they've said nothing interesting to me. No asking for favors, no asking to come visit, not even a funny conversation. My absolute favorite part of the game is chatting with the villagers and feeling connected to my town but I feel like the dialogue has gone downhill with each game.
2. Crafting tools multiple times per day. I like the idea of crafting but not being forced into it to progress in the game.
3. The lack of furniture sets. I'm hoping these are available later but who knows.
4. Brewster...enough said.
Also this isn't really a complaint but has anyone else noticed that the fish shadows seem a little blurry? It's weird because the graphics in the rest of the game are beautiful.
Why did they need to delay hourly music for so long.... I get that you get it later in game but I am so sick of the default music already whose idea was this
Along with pretty much everything I have read so far, I have been struggling a lot with finding certain fish. One if my friends doesn't seem to be having this issue :v but I have spent days on end trying to catch the sturgeon and the golden trout and i haven't seen them. For the sturgeon i have not seen the largest fish shadow and for the golden trout, every time i catch a fish that is the same shadow size, it's always a dace or a cherry salmon :/ I also feel like the fish don't respawn very often, and it may just be my imagination, but i guess it makes sense as the river is larger than in new leaf :[ along with that, the fish changing directions every 5 seconds is also annoying lol. I would also like to join in on the complain about the tools breaking... especially the gold tools, like what? and I'm not a big fan about the diy stuff either :/
maybe i'm just not far enough in the game but I am very angry they got rid of tortimer island/island tours and I hope that I'm just not far enough to have them and not that they removed them.

1. Crafting materials take up so much space, since most of them only stack up to 30. It wouldn't be as much of an issue if items themselves didn't use so many materials, but some items can wipe out nearly a third or more of the stack, which means you need to have a lot on hand if you plan on doing much crafting. Being able to stack up to 99 for everything would be better. On top of that, you can only craft from your inventory. You should be able to pull from your storage while at home.
2. The tool wheel doesn't remove the tools from your inventory. So even though the inventory is bigger in this game, it doesn't really feel like it because it's always filled with tools and crafting materials.
3. A lot of things in general feel like they have too many extra steps involved. I think things could be streamlined a little to make them less tedious.
4. I keep running out of storage space. No it's not my fault for hoarding clothes. It's the game's fault for making all of these cute clothes and then not giving me enough room to keep them all.
5. Only 10 villagers. They're so cute in this game! I love how interactive they are, so I wish I could have more of them wandering around.
6. Lack of content from older games. I know they could add it in as DLC, and I don't mind that for events, but I don't like the idea of so many Animal Crossing staples being either missing or locked behind DLC. I'd rather the DLC be new content, not things I expect from Animal Crossing.
7. So many different item colors, and you can't customize most of them. I'm hoping they'll add Cyrus in at some point to do that, or at least give us some other way.
I'm sad that I have so many complaints... but there is so much I feel is missing ; A;
No perfect fruit ):
No lemons, lychee, mango, or bananas
No bushes (which would be fine if there was at least some hedge fencing, but I haven't seen any?)
No dream suite (still holding out hope that something similar will be added later...)
Not being able to turn off auto-save
That you can't customize path/fence colors? (I hate all of the default colors??? I just want the same fences but in white ; A; /)
That you can't eat multiple fruit at a time??
The lack of mini games for multi-player. I miss the scavenger hunts, bug catching contests, hide and seek... It feels like there's no reason to even play multi-player because there's nothing to really do??
That it doesn't show in the store menus if you've already purchased an item already or not
That tools can't be stored separately on the tool wheel instead of taking up inventory space...
That you can't just type in the number of flower seeds you want to buy...
That you can't add multiples of the same item category all at once in the dressing room (having to go in and out to buy multiple colors of one shirt over and over is getting tedious orz)
That you can't just scoot a building over one square... (I have to spend 50k to move it to an entirely different location just to move it back to basically the same spot, just one square over because it drives my ocd crazy lol I guess that'd be asking a lot though...)
And as someone that time travels and has gotten to the terraforming portion of the game, I think my biggest complaint is that it just feels so incomplete? It feels as though there's only half of a game here? and that's incredibly frustrating because I had such high hopes from seeing the trailers and gameplay previews before release, initially thinking that the developers had really listened to the fans and that it looked as if they'd fixed every complaint I had with New Leaf and more! So it's just a huge let down that it feels as though it's lacking so much in the end... ):
And because these might also be considered spoilers...
That there are only 4 buildings aside from houses??? The island still feels ridiculously empty. (This is the biggest reason the game feels so incomplete to me)
That you can't choose who to move out specifically when you want to move someone from your campsite in and you already have 10 villagers. (I'm worried about having to choose between two dreamies in the future ; A; adsfdas)
I wish there was an option to favorite villagers on the map so that they are locked in? or at least less likely to move? (Like a best friend option but for villagers lol) That would be amazing...
That there doesn't seem to be as many big outside decorations?? I feel like I only have a couple to choose from and I hate most of them so my island still feels totally empty...
I've been playing for a while and even though I've been loving this game, there are some things that I definitely don't like.
-Tools breaking. I'm ok with your initial flimsy tools breaking, but it gets really annoying once you start getting the cute tools. You can prolong them by customizing them but it's still annoying, especially when you want your tool to be a certain color. I really wish they didn't break at all.
-Villager dialogue. It does get a bit better as time goes on, but as others were saying they get sick of you very quickly. They also repeat themselves a lot, especially with their opening lines.
-Island fruits. It's pretty disappointing that this island game is missing the island fruits from NL.. Persimmons, Mangoes, bananas, etc. I hope they get added in soon along with new fruit.
-Perfect fruits. Again, there seems to be no sign of perfect fruit in the game so far, which has always been a staple in the AC games. Sure, they can add in all the fruits later, but I really feel like they should have been here from the beginning.
-No bushes
That's about it, at least for now. I'm feeling very optimistic for the future of this game so I hope I don't get let down.

My character never says “Not you again!” after catching a sea bass? What’s up with that? In my opinion, hating on sea bass is part of what makes Animal Crossing... Animal Crossing XD
Another thing I find strange- why did they change Punchy’s appearance so drastically? I mean, he’s just as cute as ever, but... if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it? Most of the other villagers look pretty much the same except with better graphics, so...
Okay so I've been playing this game non-stop and I like it, but I do think New Leaf is a better game. I was much more hyped for NL as well.
About NH:
- As soon as they anounced crafting, I wanted to cry. I was so disappointed. I really don't like it. It also takes up so much time and space in your pockets. No. it's just stupid.
- Furthermore, I am so so so angry that Nintendo made us buy a very expensive and UNFINISHED game. That's what I hate. Sure, they can add stuff in updates, but I paid for the full game and this game is nowhere as good as New Leaf right now.
-And just as everyone said before, there are so many missing characters. And I personally don't see why they had to replace Joan. It only makes me really sad.
- Multiplayer is not really interesting. I've tried it and we got bored very quickly. I'm past the point where I could use other people's help with seaching for crafting materials, so there is really not much to do together right now.
I do want to say that I love the graphics and the design. Especially the museum is absolutely gorgeous!
However, I'm still a bit disappointed and I'm glad I'm not the only one.

In new Horizons, it's time to start a war against Horse Mackerels.
Sea Bass: 400 Bells.
Horse Mackerel: 180 Bells.
And Horse Mackerels a lot more common too. SO Common, im 90% sure I've found one just by its shadow. I think it only shares a shadow right now with the anchovy.
Like why can’t we store DIY recipes? I’m already getting duplicates and I want to be able to put them all in one place without cluttering my house or my island.
I do plan to sell them later on, but I want to get a fair number of them before I host a sale.
I honestly don’t have anything I don’t like. I love this game so much. Like I use you could craft things in your house with the materials being in the storage but I can get over that.
