There is nothing wrong with the "stretched" characters, and here's why

a lot of people are complaining that the characters in this upcoming game look "stretched" and "disproportionate". but the funny thing is, we've seen this before and had no complaints. where? in the movie.

here is a simple comparison of a AC 3DS screenshot and the protagonist of the AC movie:

see what i mean? not much of a difference in size and shape. so why are people complaining? do people really hate change that much?
 
I love the new character design in my oppinion because it is new and fresh; I'm glad to see the Nintendo change because I didn't really like how ACCF is so close to ACWW in many ways.
 
I'd like longer legs, bigger torsos, and smaller heads like in the anime. In the new game the characters' bodies are stretched out more and seemed to be cone shaped.
 
it's a skirt... right? her legs are longer than what you see, her ankles :/

I don't think there's anything really disproportionate... the characters before had huge heads and stubby everything else... but they still moved/looked fine... nothing really wrong :/

it'll fit/work, I have no complaints.
 
I am actually one of the people who ddidn't complain about the new design. I even prefer the newer design over the older one (but I like the old one too). The reason: I'm a teenager who plays Animal Crossing, and my character in the 3DS version will suit me more.

ditto
 
There are short animals, too, so there the characters should be customizable.
 
Not everyone has seen or heard of the movie and this argument is kind of silly. If people don't like the stretched look, they don't like it. It's an opinion.

I myself don't really mind it.
 
I still think the new characters looks ugly.
 
You are now aware that the characters were "stretched out" since the beginning because the camera was always in an angle.
 
wow - i didn't even realize the similarity between the new look and the anime!

for the record, i think the change is fine, especially if it lets us more easily customize pants/shorts/skirts.

At first i thought the stretched characters looked stupid, but they kinda grew on me.
