What are you personally concerned/worried about?

[John Wick]

We're all going to have a hard time.. that's why we can eventually make it ourselves. y:

Hehe, that's another worry.
How long before we unlock GOD MODE terraforming!

i hope our island is a somewhat decent size ... ;-; what we had in nl was nice but i'd love to be able to work with even more!

I mean, supposedly, NH's map is bigger than GCN AC, so it should be a pretty big map!

As for my own personal concerns:

1. I'm not completely sure how I feel about the new version of fishing tourneys/bug catching tourneys. I kinda dig that it's more challenging this time, but it's still something that needs to grow on me, I guess.
2. Villager dialogues. I hope they're just as good, if not better, than GCN.

I'm a little bit concerned about characters going away and features being changed for simplicity. I understand simplicity is nice but I don't want to lose Harriet and other characters. The feeling of excitement waiting to go to Harriets to change up my look just can't compare to being able to do it whenever I want. I like the direction they are taking of making everything more customizable and accessible, but theres no need to take away the "real" aspect of Animal Crossing like walking into a store to get a haircut. Another example of this is with buying clothes now you just go into the changing room to have lots of options. While the options are great, I loved the feeling of walking around the store looking for what was new and waiting to see what is there the next day.

Villagers call you three times instead of pinging.

So if we can't make it to wherever they are, we might miss out on something important.

It feels like we are being rushed.

I prefer being pinged when I run by the villager.
We could be terraforming, or interior decorating, and we hear our name and have to polt vault?

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

This is a fun post to look back on now, a little less than a month later.

Isabelle once again being somebody I can only interact with in the town hall or in a select few other specific scenarios. I want to see her walking around enjoying the scenery as she did in that trailer where she looked like a doll and was staring up at that movie screen with a look of utter awe. I want there to be more to her than "come change your town tune and inform me of trouble villagers so I can go pop them."

I want to sing with her over the campfire, see her eat sandwiches under her leisure tree like in Pocket Camp, get her new shoes dirty on the island's dirt, mud, and sand.

As I mentioned on another thread, besides the corona virus affecting the ability for me to get my physical copy, I am really concerned with the fact that the game saves on the switch and not the game cartridge and is so far unable to be transferred to another switch. I really hope they come up with a cloud saving service soon, because I am becoming increasingly paranoid that I will somehow break my switch and my island will be lost forever.

1. Not being able to time travel. I always time travel as little as possible but I still want the option to be there for convenience reasons. For example I prefer playing games at night before bed but I don't want to be stuck in perpetual night when I play.

2. Villagers not having varied dialogue. It'll be terrible if they start repeating themselves right away. I hope it's better than New Leaf at least.

3. Villager cap. I was really hoping for 12 villagers, but it looks like it's still 10. It's not a huge deal but still, it'd be nice if we could have the option to expand later in the game.

4. Paths look as tedious to place as they did in New Leaf. I'm very happy that there are actual paths now, but it still sucks that I have to place and remove them one by one. I would sometimes feel actual physical stress placing and redoing my paths in New Leaf LOL

That's about it, I think.

Nothing much really. Overall just excited. I guess I feel overwhelmed by terraforming. XD But I'm sure it'll be lest daunting once we get into it.

 

[screechfox]

I'm definitely worried about the update model of having holidays in the game. I know why they've done it (to make sure people don't time travel to get to them) but it still makes me worry about what will happen when Nintendo eventually stops supporting the game.

I'm also concerned that the way they seem to be streamlining buying clothes is going to remove some of the satisfaction of waiting for something you want to appear, but that's just a personal preference - I like cobbling together my style from whatever I can find in the shops from day to day.

 

[petaI]

i just hope that all players will be able to customize the island freely and that there won't be too many things limited to just the resident representative :/ my brother was the mayor in our new leaf town and we would be in constant dispute over where to put the pwps

What new version of fishing / bug catching tourneys? Do you mean how often they happen or?? Some information I've missed here.

I'm concerned that the villager cap doesn't seem to have been raised. I personally love having some set in stone villagers, as well as some rotating ones, and this is just so hard with only 10 villagers. Plus the fact we have a much bigger map this time!
It feels like Nintendo have sacrificed having more villagers for having 8 players, something I can faily confidently predict won't be utilised anywhere near as much as they seem to believe.

I’m also a bit worried about not being able to reset. .-.
Hopefully it won’t come to that, but if I get a villager I really despise (particularly Canberra), I would want to reset for a better pair of villagers. Plus I know people are gonna want to reset for other things too like fruit, layout (I know you will be able to terraform and all that, but we are still gonna want to at least start with a decent layout), grass pattern, etc.

What do you mean by reset? Deleting the save, or quitting without saving? Deleting your save is very much possible.

 

[oath2order]

No touch screen for patterns is an odd choice.

No art section of the museum, no dream suite, no gyroids allegedly.

The lack of tours means multiplayer is going to be boring again. But I never did that much multiplayer.

 

[shendere]

did they say anything about perfect fruit?

I know for a fact* that the number of items you can place outside is going to be arbitrary and a small amount.

*I don't

 

[honeyaura]

Where's the cafe? I wanna work there again.
Where's Cyrus and Reese? And Harriet?
Where will the paintings go, if any?
To this day, I still don't understand why we can't have more than one town on a console.

That's all I can think of for now.

 

[Jas]

i really want the tortimer island tours back! but that's not a big deal if they aren't there - i'm certain that there is a lot more fun stuff coming that we won't expect !!
