What are you personally concerned/worried about?

[Brookie]

So I've been seeing tons of threads where people mention what they're afraid/concerned of, and then keep getting dismissed because they didn't show us everything. It's OK to be concerned... I thought I'd make a thread for this.

Here are my concerns:
- Dreamsuite?
- Time Travel?
- QR code in NH (not in NL)?
- NPCs

Nothing major, honestly. Worrying about something may just ruin the game for me. Though, I am a bit concerned that Time Travel will be abused in some fashion, but that's just a personal opinion from my dislike of Time Travelling.

I want to know if we'll have the chance to commit to changes or revert when we exit terraforming mode.


Also, Re-Tail (Flea Market)

Im pretty confident but no mention of tours you can do with friends like on tort's island got me a little nervous. I loved doing those with my friends.

 

[Aubrey895]

Hmmm nothing really. Im just too excited lol.

 

[BerryB]

I don't have any big worries. I do hope I get villagers I like and a nice airport color, since I'm determined not to restart, but I can really make do with anything there. My biggest concern is whether or not Leif is going to show up, because he's my favorite and we haven't seen him yet. I'll be sad if he doesn't make an appearance at some point.

I suppose another small worry of mine is finding an adequate island map to start off with may take me a little longer than I'd like to spend on looking for.

That my probability of dying before I get to play this game is non-zero.

The only thing that I am mildly concerned about are holidays not being programmed into the game or becoming a MMO styled event where once the support for the game ends then you will never ever be able to access holiday content in the game again.

Nothing I’m really worried about at the moment, but I do have a lot of questions regarding the limitations of the terraforming. I hope there won’t be too many instances of discovering that things aren’t possible later on—when it’s basically too late to adjust for them.

100% share that thought. I was excited about the terraforming at first, thinking I wouldn’t have to take initial map layout into account. Now though, since there might be several unmoveables after all, I might still have to waste a few hours of playtime on picking one.

 

[tajikey]

Hard to say. I'd really like to see some sort of confirmation that diving for sea floor goodies is still in the game. Other than that, I am worry free and ready for action!

 

[John Wick]

I'm worried I might not be able to time travel, as it gives me peace of mind that if I'm not well enough, or for whatever reason I've had to miss a day, I can always time travel back, to make sure none of my villagers are thinking about leaving.

I also worry about making mistakes like selling something I didn't mean to, or wasting a resource on the wrong thing, trashing a hybrid that took forever to grow, and autosave preventing me from just resetting. To me, this adds stress to a game that boasts it's about relaxation.

One final concern, or thought that's been on my mind is Nook Miles.

I am worried at some point, there will be an in-game offer to purchase Nook Miles like Leaf Tickets, as why have this second currency?
We have bells. Probably nothing to worry about, but we were asked to post our concerns, and these are mine.

Thank you for this topic.

I'm worried about potential limits to the terraforming, there's speculation you won't be able to change where the rivers meet the ocean, and while that doesn't bother me personally, it would be a bummer if it messed up someone's plans.

I'm also worried there will be a limit on how much stuff we can place. Surely we'll be able to have more than 3 bridges, but maybe there's a 5 or 6 bridge cap or something?

 

[TheRealWC]

I’m really pleased so far but I’m still worried on villager depth. They look nicer and have lots of cool animations, but this would not make up for awful dialogue. With the series moving in a creative almost builder-sequels direction, I hope the charm of villagers isn’t lost even more than in New Leaf.

 

[thegunpowderincident]

My worry is that it seems like we could have a lot of unemployed NPCs. Of course, the “we haven’t seen everything” argument 100% applies here. I’m just concerned that a lot of NPCs have been replaced by allowing the player to complete the task without them (crafting, hairstyling). Hopefully they just have new jobs/roles, but I also have a gnawing feeling that they may be absent from the game, with Nintendo using something like ‘Not everyone wanted to relocate to the island!’ as an excuse for it.

Again, that’s just my worst-case scenario side’s thinking. Optimistically, all or most of them have just been put in new roles. And I guess it isn’t really that many NPCs that are at risk (mainly Cyrus, Leif, and Harriet) but I would miss them a lot!

 

[Kattastic]

Dialogue. Replaying New Leaf, it's rough. The villagers basically come in 8 flavors, and there's no difference between anyone within the personality groups. And even then, the villagers say the same 3-5 lines over and over every single day. I'm hoping for more dialogue and changing chatter in NH.

 

[DJStarstryker]

I'm not really worried. It feels like Nintendo is going out of their way this time to try to give the fans what they want.

My biggest concern before was microtransactions. I got that worry because of the existence of Pocket Camp. But I'd like to hope that they wouldn't do that for this game. If they somehow do, then they will forever break my trust and I'd never buy an AC game again. I don't think Nintendo would be that stupid so I'm optimistic and am currently not worried about it.

 

[pawprints]

Until I read a post in this thread, I hadn't thought about possible microtransactions. One of the things I liked about Nintendo was that there weren't (m)any in games - though they seem to be veering away from the differences between themselves and other companies with the online play being a pay service.

I'm mostly worried that I won't like it. I want to, but a part of me thinks that there might be too many features that I'll look at it and get stressed out??? Idk, it's a weird worry but one I have.

Lol, you must have not played Mario Kart Tour -- that game is absolutely predatory.

That's after Pocket Camp though and I do expect to have them in mobile games.
