What are you personally concerned/worried about?

[DJStarstryker]

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.

Oh, Nintendo absolutely has microtransactions. But these are all so far restricted to the "free to start" games. This is not just mobile games. Some examples I can think of are Pokemon Quest (Switch) and Pokemon Shuffle (3DS).

AC NH is a full priced game, not a free to start game. Therefore, most likely it wouldn't have microtransactions, assuming things keep going the way they've been going for them.

See, I didn't know that much because I've never been a fan of Pokemon games. I admit that I was wrong

The direct addressed a lot of my concerns, but I’m still worried about time travel, mainly in the context of adjusting my game to fit my schedule (I typically play somewhere between 12-2 am on weeknights) and playing holidays after they happen. I’m leaning towards trying to play the game during my evening workouts (currently playing Dragon Quest 11S, and it’s working well), which might help a little with the former problem, but the fact remains that I’m busy during a lot of my favorite holidays.

The holiday issue also ties into another concern: what exactly is happening with the holiday downloads? Will this new structure limit our holiday access, particularly in later years when the game is no longer supported?

 

[Romaki]

No worries here, I'd just like to change my character and island name down the road but I know it makes no sense. And I guess no cloud saves can be really devastating worst case scenario.

 

[floatingzoo]

Having to start with what seems to be a uchi and a jock villager (which aren't my favorite types), and something equivalent to a dream suite not returning!

 

[Breesasha]

No real worries! I'm excited to try the game out and bond with others.

 

[MirraJade]

I live in the southern hemisphere, so I'll be picking that option, I'm worried that celebrating Toy Day in summer and Halloween in spring will ruin the vibe of those holidays, but 2 days of the year just doesn't feel like a good enough reason to pick the northern hemisphere

I'm also worried about cloud saving, I have bad luck when it comes to consoles breaking, I also like upgrading my consoles when better ones come out, I had two 3DS break on me during my time playing acnl and was so thankful that my save was on the cartridge

That’s there’s going to be too many shops to build on the island. I seriously doubt that the only shops we will get are nooks cranny, able sisters, and the museum. We still need the cafe at the least but there’s so many npcs we haven’t heard about yet and I’m just like god there’s just no way we can have like a multitude of shops/facilities on the island.

 

[Feraligator]

Nothing major, but I'm thinking about these guys. Not particularly worried, just wondering about them I suppose:

> Post office (Pelly/Phyllis/Pete) – does the post card replace them? I doubt it does since it looks like you can't write much but who knows.
> Shampoodle / Harriet
> Visitors: can Label, Kicks etc. not be permanent? Forgive me if I'm wrong, I didn't really understand this part of the direct. I know Celeste tends the museum at night now so they must set up shop somehow?
> Bushes and violets?
> Diving
> Kapp'n (+ his family) and Tortimer? Will there be a minigame island? That was one of the best parts of NL, I loved playing tours with my sister
> Brewster and the coffee shop
> Club LOL (If I'm honest I didn't like it that much in NL, felt too grungy) and where K.K. will perform.
> Terraforming on the beach and the beach rocks.
> Re-Tail
> Copper and Booker
> Night music. This is actually a concern for me, albeit not a gamechanger but the 2 night music tracks I heard in the direct were so lifeless. I want me some 1AM/11PM NL or 1AM/2AM CF vibes for the night tracks.

To be clear, these aren't worrying me, I'm just wondering about these features and how they've implemented them. I'm way too excited for the game to be concerned for now.

 

[Speeny]

None to be honest. At this point I just want to enjoy the game as much as possible. Not going to be too critical with it early on either as it may ruin my enjoyment.
There may be one or two small things I?ll end up disliking but, the game so far looks so promising that it?ll probably surpass my expectations.

 

[Garrett]

Nope, no worries, no concerns here. The game looks wonderful.

 

[Mokuren]

I am happy with everything. Nothing to worry. I only hope we have something like a dream suite. It would be really sad if we can make now sooo many things with our island and can't show them to the world. Also I loved to visit the towns of other people! It was an awesome feature

 

[John Wick]

I think the thread is more for people who do have concerns.

 

[Scrafty]

i'm worried that since they're allowing 8 people to live on one island that they haven't increased the number of animal villagers.
smaller concerns are things like no bushes, violets, multiplayer island tours and the dreamsuite.

 

[Revolucionaria]

My biggest concern is possible pay walls, or being bombed with micro transactions or paid dlc later on like in pocket camp.
Minor concerns would include how often we see k.k slider, i hope it is at least once a week still.

 

[TheCelestial11]

I'm a little worried about resetting because of auto save.
And I'm still not 100% convinced that the 2 starting villagers are not permanent.

 

[RainbowGrace]

If there's anything, it's just that I'm a bit concerned about how many tries it may take for me to reset to the get fruit / resident services location / airport colours that I want! Hopefully I get lucky...

 

[Crawkey]

Perhaps not too concerned but tentatively excited? About how flower breeding and organisation works now. On the one hand not much has changed from WW to NL and beyond but this ability to remove flower heads/regrowth stages is something entirely new! Exciting, but as someone who loves organising my hybrids and stuff I'm nervous how important/necessary it is to be using flower heads for crafting etc. and how that's going to affect my favourite activities of breeding hybrids and arranging them.

 

[Lemons]

I'm worried about the lack of background music. I think most (if not all?) gameplay footage I've seen don't have bgm on. There's the possibility of them turning it off just for the videos, but it still worries me. Zelda BotW didn't have map music and I didn't like that.
Other than that, everything looks wonderful!

 

[Dizzardy]

Probably my only real worry is that we have only 10 villagers again.

I guess I'm also a little worried about various NPCs who look like they might no longer have a role.

Aside from that I'm excited.
