I miss my town.

I really loved the Beautiful Town Ordinance.
What an awesome feature. A real time saver, as watering that many flowers every day really was time consuming.

The introduction of PWP's was also awesome.

Re-Tail's refurbishing was also a nice addition.

I hope these things carry over to New Horizons.

How much storage space they give you!
Even then, since there is so much to do and collect, I kind of want more almost!

Me too!
I like to keep spares of absolutely everything!
Candy, fireworks, food.

EVERYTHING! ^_^

I love seeing the snails crawl around on the bushes

I'm finally reaching my dreams of creating a forest town. In the process, I've been able to see just how beautiful NL is. It's stunning now that I'm sitting back and thinking about it!

for all the years that i played new leaf, i never saw a single flaw in it; i played from north america’s release date up until december 2017 and while i’ve long since sold my copies of new leaf, i still miss playing sometimes despite there not being much to do anymore

Yesterday, I was nervous for my dentist appointment and I got an unexpected/out-of-the-blue letter from Astrid -- when I played yesterday morning before my appointment. It helped me feel better. :,)

Sometimes, the villagers just know when you are stressed, sad, nervous, feeling under the weather, etc. :,)

Heck, she hasn't even been in my town for very long. She moved in on the 26th of last month.

QR codes are a divine blessing in New Leaf. I remember, in Wild World, having to look up patterns I liked online where the designers were kind enough to include had grids lines on them and then trying my best to replicate that design in The Able Sisters' tailor shop. It took freaking hours to complete and sometimes it didn't even come out the same. When New Leaf released, I was glad for the feature. All I have to do now is scan a QR pattern (4 if they're clothing pieces) and I can receive an exact copy. Sure it's still a bit time consuming, but it's way better than the former way of obtaining a design. Maybe one day we'll be able to just click on a design we like and instantly download it to our files.

One of the best inclusions in New Leaf are the island tours, Desert Island Escape and Puzzle League mini-games. I enjoyed playing them a lot and found myself enjoying them more than talking to villagers.

I'm glad there was an option to trade DLC items and rare villagers in New Leaf via online connection, otherwise, I couldn't see myslef scouring the Internet to buy amiibo cards from scalpers. Heck even the fan made one can get pretty expensive. No thanks.

Isabelle, Leif and a few other NPCs, like Nat, are enjoyable characters. I love Isabelle's quirky pep, Leif's design and Nat's dialogue.

I like the diving feature, though I wish more can be done with it.

I really like all the new fruits added to New Leaf. It was a wonderful surprise, when I played NL for the first time. I couldn't wait to have the complete fruit set.

I was finally able to see my current town in Spring. I started it in January of this year, so I've been waiting a bit to get some green.

It's so exciting to be able to play when it's so beautiful! My forest is better than I thought- and once it rains or storms, my dream address is going to look awesome.

NL always proves how pretty it is.

I really love seeing the little footprints over dirt, sand and snow terrains. Molly's little webbed feet, tiny little paws, and all that, and I love that the chimney smoke puffs out in smoke.

I also *love* when villagers just stop to watch a bug fly by. It's just a small detail that's so cute-

Getting surprise visits by Rooney leaves me glowing for the rest of the day. :,)

Seeing an orchid mantis on a jacobs ladder is really pretty and aesthetically pleasing that it's almost celestial.

i love when there’s a rainbow in the sky - it’s not something i get to see very often but when i do, it always makes me happy c:

I love how nintendo managed to evolve the game in a way that gave us more control/responsibility/power to customise the town (by making us mayor) but never made it something stressful... many games when they try and introduce new levels of control can end up being just another burden, or they lose the "free" feeling we had before... but Nintendo didn't seem to have this problem at all and it is honestly really impressive!

 

[Tempest]

I just love how our villagers will sit on benches and we can sit with them, it's very fun!

YES I LOVE IT AHHHHHHH

 

[Rosewater]

I love when it rains while the sky is clear and blue and then a rainbow appears! It's nostalgic and reminds me of little childhood wonders.

In the very beginning, I used to get annoyed by the jock characters (I have Rowan the tiger) because I always feel guilty when Rowan tells me to jog around town since in reality I'm playing a video game on my butt, haha. But I have been playing this game a long time and now Rowan is one of my favorites. He's such a sweetheart, and his cheerful positive attitude has won me over. Now I know when he's urging me to build my muscles, it's his way of saying he's my (character's) friend and he wants what is best. So I guess what I'm saying is I love that this game allows you to grow in your relationship with the villagers as you get to know them better.

As an astronomy enthusiast, I love that the game follows the moon phases (e.g. since the moon is currently at its first quarter, it is also at its first quarter in the game). :,)
