What are you personally concerned/worried about?

I'm wondering if we're still able to go diving and catch sea creatures like we were able to in New Leaf? I would be quite surprised if they cut this out considering we're based on an island surrounded by water, this feature would be most fitting to the game. I don't think I've witnessed any swimsuits yet though nor have I seen diving in any gameplay, unless I'm missing something?
Still also confused about how the holidays are only implemented in the game through updates, I suppose this accounts for the tourneys too? So the events are sort of live like they are in Pocket camp, like the scavenger hunts and gardening events. Very interested to see how Nintendo go about this as they've never approached this in any of the other games before.

A little worried that we can only have 10 villagers move in again. It’s not a deal breaker but I would like just a few more added to the game. My other concern is items from previous games won’t ALL return. I know it’s impossible to show all clothing and items from NL but I hope that stuff comes back, there was a lot of cute clothing. Not to mention I hope Pocket Camp items that were really cute like the dresses and wigs show up too. I hate Pocket Camp but I have to admit that the furniture and clothing introduced in that game is too good not to be in NH.
Things I'm *not* concerned about:
- TT: it'll still be possible. Autosaving doesn't prevent changing the clock. They even made TTing easier in NL and while other Nintendo games (Pokemon, Tomodachi Life) have been able to detect it, they didn't stop you
- missing NPCs: I know it sounds harsh but I honestly was annoyed by having to go thru repetitive dialog menus to choose options when it's a task I can easily do in a few seconds with a proper UI screen. I really don't have much affection for characters that just spout the same dialog day after day for years. I'm much more attached to villagers
- microtransactions: they're charging $60usd for the game and $20usd for online play. They're not gonna put in microtransactions like they do for a free game when they're already making millions up front and getting $20 out of you every year. They will probably release a big dlc with extra stuff down the line though, maybe multiplayer games
- holiday downloads: it's quite possible they'll leave em in after they first update and they just don't want the 1st yr spoiled for everyone. After that, we all know what it's about and have gotten the items. They give you a long lead time to dl the update before the holiday so I don't think lack of internet will be a problem
- mandatory uchi/jock starters: not my fav chars, but I do want to experience every personality's new dialog in the new game! So I would've gotten these villagers eventually. I feel certain we won't be stuck with just 2 for very long; after all, you get told 3 more are interested in moving in while Resident Services is still a tent, and it doesn't stay a tent
Things I *am* concerned about:
- villager dialog: the Switch cart has higher capacity than the 3DS one, NH is a bit bigger in size than Mario Odyssey is, and text takes up far less storage than textures. Still, I am a bit concerned that there won't be more variety to dialog. It did really affect my enjoyment of NL, so it'd be nice if there were some official reassurance that there's tons of new dialog
- island tours for mp: we haven't seen them mentioned yet and I'm ever so slightly concerned that they will be paid dlc, like Luigi's Mansion had mp levels dlc. Hopefully though, any paid dlc would only expand on what's already there
- picking a map: I'm not sure about the terraforming limitations and I'm still not sure what exactly will constitute a 'good' map. A bit worried I'll pick a map and then regret my decision later when I learn more about what I should've been looking for in a map
- new fish / bugs: fishing is my fav feature of the game, so I really hope theres a ton of new additions. We've seen new fish (e.g. anchovies) so they are adding stuff. It's one thing to catch a sea bass over and over again, it's another to catch it over and over across multiple games! I just want more variety. Considering they expanded the mechanics with different bait recipes, this gives me hope
- autosaving / cloudsaving: they've been changing their tune so much that it's making me a little worried they don't have a solid plan here. My main concern about autosaving is data corruption. I hope there are multiple autosave slots. But even then, if the most recent save is corrupted, will we even be able to load the older autosave? For cloudsaving, I really want to know the limitations on dling our saves to new systems
- keyboard support: I just want to know if it'll be supported for typing in mp chat or if you have to use the app
- changing hairstyle: I want to know if there's a way to change your hair and just your hair in game, like Shampoodles was. I just want an easily accessible hairstyle menu like there is with clothes
- max villager limit: I really hope it's not still limited to 10
- music: I hope there is still hourly music, that it's new, and that it's not annoying lol

Not really a worry but i am going to miss seeing the town tree grow 
Well I am a little worried now lol. After seeing the new gameplay video when they went in the museum I didn't see where the art would go. Is it removed? Idk maybe it upgrades.
And they had a lot of shops and still only 5 villagers. What if we can't have many villagers because we can have 8 human players...

There is an in game keyboard. They just showed it off today.
Yes! Just saw right now; so glad that is a thing!

I find it funny that Brewster might end up serving coffee in a tent at first.
Ohh me too!!! I'm assuming he will be back because if he doesn't, I will be disappointed. I love coffee ingame just as much as in real life. Brewster is one of my favorite characters too!
I haven?t had time to watch the footage yet, but the thought of having a 5 villager cap?or a limit of 10 for villagers AND player characters?horrifies me.
I?m just going to keep chanting ?it can?t be true, that won?t happen? until we know more. It?s definitely an uncomfortable thought though >.<

One of the things I'm worried about right now would be how many villagers we can have on the island. I play my Switch Lite by myself, so I'm not adding anymore characters to my island, as it will just be my character or me playing the game I should say. So I'm hoping they at least make it up to somewhere between 10-15 villagers. If they do indeed do 10 again, then I guess that's fine, but with all the videos I've seen of the Pax event in Boston, it seems like there may be less.
Also, there is one particular hairstyle I'm a little worried that they removed and it was one of my favorite ones to have. In New Leaf there was a total of 32 hairstyles in the game, both boys and girls, but it seems like there might be less, like 24 now, so yeah... I'm hoping there is 32 again and that they didn't remove the one I liked. If they did, I might have to do another style. :/
Other than those two things, the game looks fantastic.

Concerns:
1. Can't move Nook Services
2. Can't find a map that fits where I want Nook Services in case we can't move it.
3. Have a limit on # of bridges.
4. Can't put a bridge where the outlet of the river meets the ocean.
Just stuff that goes against my designed plan in general.

The holidays and time travel. I get home from work late at night so if I can't time travel a few days or hours just to make sure I don't miss things, I'm gonna be upset. Then there's the holidays- downloading holidays is strange. I can see if they just don't want people to travel forward and ruin the surprise of holiday items but what happens after that? Will each update overwrite the last and lock you out until a download the following year or will it stay available on your system whenever that day rolls around permanently going forward? The way it's presented is strange and a little vague. I really hope the holidays don't turn into a ridiculous mobile-style "holidays are only available to play for a limited time and then they're gone forever" deal. That would be insane (and a deal breaker). There's been so many controversies in the last few years in the industry, I'd hate to see AC join the list. I REALLY hope I'm worried over nothing.

I'm concerned of the leakers who are just going to spoil the game before it releases. That's no fun and I'm planning to go on a hiatus once the game is close to launch. I want to fully enjoy the game at my own pace without any spoilers. I'll worry about the in-game stuff later when I get it.

I would love to know more about some new villagers, or even just an x amount of villagers in total (we've confirmed almost 400, but that didn't include new chaacters or really old ones from getting bought back. I want to start with two villagers I really like, which as of right now I don't like many of the Uchi or jock characters.
I'm a little worried we won't be able to time travel. I think we will, but I still worry. I don't especially plan on doing it, but it's nice to have the option. I also wish I knew more about the limits of terraforming before picking my map.
I keep wondering how designs are going to work. If New Leaf and HHD qr codes can be used, I'm assuming that means we have the same size canvas. I was sort of hoping for a bigger one so we could fit more detail. Previously, I had been concerned with custom designs looking pixelated and weird compared to the rest of the game's graphics, but it seems like they do some kind of automatic anti aliasing to make them smooth. So now I'm worried about how that could affect very small details in custom designs!!!
There are a couple things I really hope they improve, like more varied dialogue for villagers!
I think most of my concerns are personal. My life has changed so much since I played New Leaf and I have a harder time focusing on video games these days, especially for prolonged periods of time. I'm worried I'll play with it a lot for maybe a month and get bored, or that between school, work, and family obligations I won't have much free time to play at all.
Overall, I'm still very excited though! The hype definitely outweighs the trepidation, I cant wait for March 20th!!
