The Pro-ACNL (Anti-rant) Thread

I'm really liking the spring season in New Leaf, trees are all pink and petals fly around. It's so calming and definitely makes it feel like summer is approaching. :)
 
I love how you can make anything and everything unique to you. For example when designing a town you can design it however you want due to all the options the game gives you :D
 
I like how I can play at my own pace. If I need something new, I can always time travel. If I want to slow down and just relax a bit, i'll spend the day landscaping and interacting with villagers.
 
I love how you can make your house look like whatever you like since there's a lot of furniture (and the welcome amiibo update) but I think interior design is more flexible in HHD
 
I love how this game brought me closer to one of my friends because she lent me her ds and let me play in her town for months last year and that was just so incredibly kind of her? I fell in love with the game and eventually bought my own ds and a copy of acnl so now we can play together! It's been really great bonding over her town and villagers that we both took care of and how much we love Carmen and Lucky and i feel really blessed to have her as a friend because now ac is so dear to me and so is she!!

I also really love
-the way the music sounds so calming and gentle when it's raining
-watching the northern lights
-the sound of waves at the beach
-how the animals wave goodbye when you leave their house
-how animals randomly visit your house just because they were walking past and thought they'd pop in
-waking up gulliver and listening to his mumbling
-the feeling of helping villagers with simple things like getting them fruit and then hearing the little tune after
-working at the roost!!
-drinking coffee every day and getting to pick how much sugar or what beans to get and reading the descriptions
-listening to villagers talking to each other
-watching the snow fall
-villagers falling asleep while sitting on benches
-walking along the beach at night and finding a villager walking around too
-Saturday night k.k. slider acoustic concerts
-fireflies!!!!

Ah right after i posted i thought of more things i loved about the game like
-slowly becoming friends with sable
-the happiness of growing the hybrid flower you wanted
-the time at the start of the game where isabelle asked you to get her a seashell from the beach and she said she'd display it in her room
-harvey giving you beans to feed the birds with

There's so much to love about this game? Thank you so much for making a thread about it and reminding me why i like playing so much!!
 
I caught Zucker sitting on a tree stump earlier, very shortly after having seen people mention villagers being able to do so!
 
I am grateful for this game because it is my stress relief. I feel calm and relaxed when I'm playing. I don't need to rush, I don't need to worry, I can just take my time and do everything in the game at my own pace, which is extremely freeing. I don't get that feeling from many things.
 
Here are some things I love about ACNL!
-Fruit baskets!! (in comparison to when your inventory quickly became occupied by 15 single fruits in the other games...)
-The Northern Lights
-The little details, like how frogs don't use umbrellas in the rain
-The island and how Kapp'n sings on the trip there
-Balloons and pinwheels (trying to get some for myself right now!)
-Customizing furniture!
-Conversations between villagers
-Hide and seek
-Some of the PWPs just make me so happy to build (like the windmill and the tulip topiary)
-Badges
-Scorpion/tarantula hunting on summer nights (this one is love-hate lol)
-How exciting it is when the seasons change
 
I love how this game has helped me with my depression, it gives me something to look forward to doing the next day. It helped me when I first started playing it and then stopped, but I've gotten back into it and It just makes me really happy. It's giving me a reason to be excited for tomorrow because I know I can find more ways to make my town how I want it.
I love discovering new things and the community behind this game, it makes me happy and I'm thankful for everyone playing and everyone on this forum especially those whohave helped me build my character's town.
I'm also able to play this game with my best friend, something me and her have been wanting to do for years but unable to do because she has an xbox and I have a ps4.
 
I love the thunderstorms/ any kind of rain in game. Also villagers walking around with their umbrellas are too cute. :")
 
So we just post anything that made us happy in game?
I recently started a new town and got the layout I wanted, with a good amount of rocks in all the right places, and my native is apples--which I wanted !! Even started with some of my favorites. :)

I also love celebrating the villagers' birthdays, it doesn't last long (not much to do), but it's so adorable to pop in and see them dancing.
 
As much as I’d like to get dreamies and all i also like the experience of being surprised by a new character moving in! Even the ones i thought I didn’t like grew on me over time. The letters and conversations are just so sweet ;-; so i try not to be too controlling with my town to maintain that experience!
 
Getting a favorite villager in my town is just the best, but I also like random villagers too, as they can grow on me over time. ^^

Some other things would be getting a special letter in the mail from mom or villagers, watering flowers and getting a surprise new hybrid flower, doing favors for villagers, and then getting a villager's picture one day proving that you are just literally best friends with them now. :D
 
I like to read these positive reports. Please keep them coming, folks!
 
one amazing thing about acnl: they introduced the smug villager type

idk why theyre called smug as they are more hopeless romantic almost lolol. i get letters from this villager type about how they remember my mayor when listening to a song, or when they feel lonely. ughhh my heart!! everything is just so wholesome

anyway, marshall if youre out there im sorry i let you move out ill get you back sweetie ;_;
 
So I recently visited Cyrano and caught him hovering above the zen cushion, he was just floating there in mid air all zen like.

I'm appreciating the sanrio sets! I love cute icons and i love little twin stars and My Melody so that was the perfect thing for me! I did always feel there just wasn't enough for my pastel house and now there is.
 
I would say the best thing about New Leaf is the fact that they introduced the swimming feature into the franchise, although it may still need a bit of development (like being able to swim faster etc.). Otherwise I like the bunch of new items the game offered, like the Sloppy series for example, which became my favorite series. Also Smug and Uchi villagers, they are amusing and brought some fresh wind into the villager personalities.
