Not really a rant but I need somewhere to put this but I wish we can hang wall-mounted items outside like on a tree or on cliff walls.

i really wish the same, honestly. there's so many nice items that are just for walls, and i wish they would even go on a simple panel or something. would be a really nice feature.

On cliff walls, yes!
Yeah I don't even mind bells being inflated because of turnips. Back in NL days I paid something like 13 mil for Whitney after playing the stalk market for awhile. That and being able to take turnips from your locker in another town made the whole process much easier. Than the constant back and forth in NH.NMT's are more valuable simply because they're harder to obtain.
Even w/o the duplication thing, it's very easy to make millions in a short amount of time w/ turnips.
But I feel your pain; before having the convenience of owning amiibos, I would go on Nookazon to get villagers and most people prefer NMT's and I never had many to spare, but always had plenty of bells sitting there in my bank account
NMT need to be printed ONE BY ONE and that's what really drives me nuts. That and it's much more effort to gather nook miles with each challenge being roughly 300 points or so.
Inflation with bells existed, but it was easy to keep up with inflated prices without buying them off ebay.
Yeah NH trading economy got screwed harder than any of the other games. I have a feeling this has to do with the game drawing in so many new faces due to lockdown. And now a good majority of them are gone.
I haven't paid attention to the trading economy now, but when the game first came out I was disgusted by how fracked it was. People were asking for like 300 NMT for basic DIY or their half-drank soda. The greediness really turned me off.
I've said it before. It's like they made these features to eat up time and therefore fool people that the game is full/diverse. Take Botw for instance, I like the game, but it's such a huge overworld with hardly any points of interests. A ton of koroks giving seeds and shrines. I went through a good bit of those in the overworld until I stopped myself 'Wait a minute, this is pretty flat...this is boring.'
I did enjoy Botw, but it's not my favorite Zelda. I hope they learn in Botw2 and do away with shrines and work on points of interests. It's how I feel about NH to. They changed up a lot of the basics to be very grindy and montonous. I got sucked into the new game, but that glow started to wear off and I realized I was doing the same stuff I did in Botw. 'Wait a minute...this is very grindy...and boring.'
So much of the game could be improved upon if they just tweaked the basics to not be so grindy. I haven't even booted up the game for November yet and I am not looking forward to balloon hunting for the stupid DIY. I barely get a day off due to covid and I don't want to waste it doing something I would rather not do. And it's not like this is a one time thing. It's been year long with this game as the months changed. I hope to god when February ends we don't need to balloon hunt anymore.

I wonder why you have to reselect everything you're selling at the Nooklings after you select a fake painting the first time. Can't they just say "by the way, we don't take fake paintings" and it just stays in your inventory? 
The script is also a bit weird because they apologise and tell you to reselect everything then Timmy goes "Of course, what would you like to sell?" which should have been tweaked.
I also wonder how they know so quickly that it's a fake wheras it takes Blathers a while to realise

That's kind of dumb. In NL I think Reese and the Nooks would take it off of your hands for a removal fee. The price would just be deducted from the full amount you'd make.I wonder why you have to reselect everything you're selling at the Nooklings after you select a fake painting the first time.

Yeah... It's annoying, that can't have been too hard to code in to be honest. Also, I don't think there's any way to get rid of the fake art unless you have a bin item? I'm not 100% sure but I did try using the recycle bin which didn't work. Luckily I had a trash can in my storage.
This is an extremely easy thing that could had been fixed and was done in the previous games. This just proves that the game was pushed out too early and wasn't really tested (or hastily tested) because a good tester would've brought up a lot of the points we're making as far as QoL goes.

Okay, so this is only a problem if you play early morning or late at night. but, why is the ONLY custom design portal in the able sisters? they're only open from 9am - 9pm, which isn't too long. in the other 12 hours of the day, you can't download any custom designs, which can be mildly infuriating if you want to design your island. I seriously wish they put this in the resident services, or just add it as an option to the NookStop.
On another note, the game is coded weird that if you get a scallop while diving with no inventory space, when it asks you to switch it with something, PASCAL WON'T SPAWN! he only respawns if you have inventory space, which is annoying. he can just appear after you swap the items, as his gift should get into your pocket seamlessly.

I'm sick and tired of "Waawaawahh, I miss >this and that< from NL!11!".
I wish people would stop whining, move on, and finally accept NH for what it is!
Or, if you miss that stuff that badly: go back and play New Leaf! It's still perfectly playable!
Especially when it comes to furniture, I think there are a lot of solid options, even more so when you take refurbishing into account. How about you try something new and work with what is there??
It's just kind of grating to see that kind of topic pop up all the time. People need to learn to be flexible! Of all the complaints to have about the game, this is imo the least justified one.

While I do agree that the furniture selection is fine, I feel like the selection pidgeonholes you into a specific set of themes. It just so happens that I prefer a more rustic look, so I see it this way: how would I feel if they went modern/futuristic, and cut out most of the natural sets? That’s why I feel it would be better in the long run to add more styles in.
1. i gave it a good try, i REALLY did, but i hate crafting. i don't like carrying around crafting materials and i don't like the process of crafting. it makes the game stressful for me and i really hope this feature doesn't become another series staple :(
2. i feel like this game is missing so much character.... a lot of stuff just feels. off??? it definitely has some but it just feels weird next to previous games. it's a combination of a lot of stuff... i think the dialogue is a big piece but there's other stuff like the aesthetic shared by a lot of furniture, the events, little missing details, and NEW little details
new horizons took out/altered a lot of what i love about the series in general..... at this point i'm honestly just waiting for the next year/whenever they stop doing updates to try getting into it again cuz as is it's just stressful and unsatisfying for me and i find myself going back to older titles whenever i'm in the animal crossing mood. this isn't an Objective Criticism of the game or anything, i still think it's an amazing game, but it hasn't really felt fit for me which is kinda sad cuz it's one of my favorite series ever.
^^^^yeaa this!!! it's not really that the furniture is BAD, but i feel like there's way less diversity. we have more furniture than ever yet a good portion of it is recolors and i feel limited when i decorate. i end up feeling like my house just looks like a ton of other people's houses no matter what i try!

I think the reason so many people bring up New Leaf is that it's a bit disappointing knowing this is a Switch game which is more expensive, technologically advanced and looks fantastic but is missing a large chunk of what we had before. Of course there have been many added features like landscaping, outdoor decorating and qol improvements which makes it hard to go back to NL, so I think some people are frustrated that this game would have been almost perfect had they brought back some of the missing features as well.
There's also the fact that some fans prefer gameplay that doesn't revolve around designing so they probably feel like they're not getting the enjoyment that they got from older entries where they had more activities to do, like a part time job or visiting the island or the Main Street buildings or doing more things with villagers.
Anyway I do try and focus on the positive aspects of NH and make the most of the new features we have. I do miss some things though which I think should have become staples for the series, like Toritimer's minigame island. But there's always the chance they'll bring things back in updates.

Little signs on the trees would be so cute!

People on discord charge way too much imo for items. 30 nmts for 1 item? It would take me forever to print that many! I wish getting certain items in game was easier.

Hey, you don't have to come to the rant thread buddy. What did you expect to see in here?
Take me back to the Gamecube days when villagers actually had personalities that fit their descriptions. Now they're just all different flavours of chocolate, so toned down. I'm picking my favourites from of aesthetics rather than personality at this point. Cranky and snooty villagers used to actually take jabs at you and insult you and it was hilarious (and fitting for their personalities). The graphics and increased things to do in the game are definitely an upgrade, but I miss the depth of villager personalities.
Yeah at this point I think Crankies need a name change. I have Gonzo who has the friendliest face and he seems like the most pleasant villager in my town. He's never done anything "cranky" other than not understand why peppy villagers are so peppy.
