what do you hope for in the next main game?

I would really like to be able to place the villagers' houses and to have more storage space.
 
I would love some sort of system where you can buy and sell businesses and maybe have mayor elections in real life? Also, I want a bit more of everything, bigger town, more pocket space, oh and I want the credit card back from ACCF but I want them to enable it so I can use it everywhere.
EDIT: Just thought of some more stuff, in ACNL the online options are a little bit limited. Why can't I enable something that gives my friend's permission to change around my house or put paths down in my town? I want them to expand what my best friends can do in the next Animal Crossing.

The ability to move villager's houses, rocks, and shops.

Also, most of the good features from AC:GC (The balls you could kick around, being able to directly ask villagers for help, actually good villager personalities (looking at you, NL), the tickets Nook gives out along with the raffles, NES games, washing Gracie's car, etc). I don't want it to be identical to GC, but those were some great parts of the game that I'd love to be brought back.

Also, I'm not sure if this was in GC or not, but it would be great if Resetti would pretend to reset your whole game again. That was pretty cool.

The town ordinances from New Leaf were pretty cool, too. I use the beautiful ordinance since I can't trust myself to water my flowers every day lol.

I also hope that they keep the Island, Campsite, and Villager Pic features. I'm so glad those were brought back in NL.
 
Permanent darker skin tones! I like the character height, definitely new clothes! Maybe a new personality type. That would be really cool. More equipment to hold! Possibly make Brewster a cafe place where you could work to get bells. Also there should be like a forest where you can explore see different possible villagers sort of like the campsite!
 
For me, new personalities, new tasks, and more speech options for villagers.

We could have cool personalities like: Nerdy, Shy, Outgoing, and Silly!
Also, the Normal personality should include Males and Females.
 
I'm gonna wrap my hopes in a spoiler, since it's kinda long.

✽ I want the cool new features included in HHD to be sent over to the next main AC game: The freedom to locate houses and buildings, having yards that you can customize, having darker skin tones without tanning, customizing your villagers, schools, villagers drinking and eating, etc. And bring in the new furniture too!

✽ The Campsite and Cafe should stay. Hotels do sound nice too. I want different villagers that visit my town especially when my town gets better. Maybe that will motivate me (and perhaps some other players) to put some effort and have a goal in the game. The better the town gets, the more campers/visitors will come over.
If the next main game is in 3DS or the next handheld with a Streetpass feature, maybe let the voided villager camp in the town first before moving? And maybe campers visit another town by opening your gates online or by Streetpass.

✽ More unique and interesting dialogues. Long, interesting dialogues occur to me once in a blue moon. Make the villagers a bit more unique with the other villagers in their similar personality type by saying something different! I don't want to consider Bones as a dog version of Stitches, or Yuka is just Kitty with a koala body. I want the dialogues to be different with the villagers that moved in, transferred from a different village, and those who previously camped or visited the cafe. I find it inconsistent when a Streetpassed snooty villager said that she was a singer from my town when she was younger despite saying that she never been to the town prior to her move.

✽ If I like the villager and s/he likes me too, then s/he should stay longer and not ping me about leaving every week then leaves in a instant when you didn't played for 2 days. I want my friendships with my villagers to be worthwhile. If I ignored a villager or s/he got mad at me for doing pesky things such as trapping him/her or keep on hitting him/her with a hammer/net, then s/he should be the one to ask to leave the town first than the villagers I've befriended.

✽ Make visits in Dream Towns a bit more worthwhile. Like, acquiring some mementos that were given as a reward for doing a task/befriending a villager in your dream. While we're on the topic of Dream Towns, it would be nice if my old villager will acknowledge my existence too, not just my current villagers.

✽ The shopping card should return.

✽ More side stories and sidequests involving NPCs.

✽ An easier way to place PWPs and have the ability to move and rotate PWPs.

✽ An option to expand the town and the number of villagers that can reside. I also liked the island. Maybe have more places to visit, such as a mountain or a cave with exotic fruits and exclusive creatures. I want the islander feature to return, I never experienced it myself but it sounds like an interesting concept.

✽ A bigger storage for items, letters, and patterns.

✽ Not exactly necessary, but I actually want to attach an extra page to a letter.

✽ Maybe let us have more use with the Amiibo cards? How about sending a villager to your town by scanning their Amiibo card? It would encourage Amiibo card owners to trade their cards, especially with the ones with multiple copies of a single card.

✽ Now for some wishful thinking: I wanted to play as an animal and customize whatever I wanted to look like.

I would love to be able to place villager homes, have more work places like Brewsters so I could earn extra bells, be able to have up to 20 villages and be able to place furniture like you could in HHD.
 
More dialog and maybe the option of being able to write back to your parents? I think its a bit sad that you can't write back to them and your mum always asks you to write back or write more to her. :(

The ability to choose where villagers live XD.


Seriously, i'm hoping for a better form of dialouge structure and challenge, although ACNL provides a really great form of dialouge structure, i wish there could be more like Villagers reacting to your new clothes or a recent event like a holiday or just a simple game of hide-and-seek and not the average perturbing amount of villagers sending you the same letters constantly, Puck keeps on doing that. Also if you were to choose where a villager lives, that'll be great. The reset trick is the closest thing we have but due to the immense amount of combinations, that chances of getting the "perfect" spot can be high or low depending on your luck. Expanded QR Code templates, it'll be really useful and i can find even more creative QR Codes althtough we only have a 32?32 QR code template but hey, we have a Pallete with variety. Also last but no least, more special event buildings (I. e The Roost). I'd like to see something in the next game like a Restaurant or just a place you can get a job at. Overall, i like the AC series as it is but like all video games, they don't let fans have final say in major changes. I'd like Nintendo to hear opinions from the fandom and take it into consideration on how this game can be even better.
 
I actually want Blathers to talk a lot again, but only when you asses just one fossil, not with over 2 fossils. I kind of miss it. I'd like more jobs like in Brewster, maybe you can work in Able sisters as fashion assistant or something.
I loved all the glitches you had in previous AC games. I would love it if you could actually eat the food you make in harvest festival, or you could make food and bring it over to your favourite villagers. Maybe an option to wear matching clothes with your bestie villagers.
 
Definitely more pocket and storage space. I'd love to have the ability to purchase my character a backpack to hold at a minimum the tools I use on a daily basis to save pocket space for whatever I run across.

my biggest pet peeve, no storage room! Backpacks sound awesome!
 
That would be a dream, but I'm starting to think it's unrealistic, as the animals would have to get REALLY smart- smarter than they are in HHD to be able to maneuver through the town the way it is in MK8. I love the visuals, and that would make an outstanding look, but what I'd like to see, and wish they would have done this is use the amiibo cards like the e-reader cards did, scan them in, but PICK the spot the villager moves. Have you still be mayor, have Tortimer still be on the island- family of course too, but when you start, say that there's a town map, and Isabelle asks if you like where the villagers houses are. If you don't, you can then tap on the location where you want them- like all in a row line in a real village, or leave them as is. I just want this moving mechanic to be fixed after New Leaf's HORRIBLE random place stuff!! Voice chat I'm on the fence about. Yeah, it was cool in City Folk, but since I played with other adults at the time, we were saying things you probably wouldn't want kids to hear, so that could be a problem. It's also probably why they removed it and why Splatoon who was also made by the same core developers doesn't have it either. For sure though, FIX THE MOVING where WE can place move spots so that the villager will move into that spot. Also, I LOVED the camper idea where you could get them to move into your village, and also moving back, but HATED the 16 villager cycle. That's too many to me, I'd rather it be like 1 or 2, and then the villager would say sure, I'll move back if you really missed me that much. Stuff like that.
 
It'd be awesome if some qualities of HHD were merged with new leaf for the next ac game, like the ability to design villager houses and that HHD has more villagers in a town. Also it'd be great if you could choose where the villagers house was to go lmao, save the hassle of plot resetting
 
Can Blathers finally buy fossils off you?? Please?? It's heart breaking how he wants them but can't have them.
 
I would really like a separate inventory that keeps tools and only tools. For example a backpack. I would like the option to hang villager pics on the wall (like paintings/CDs). It's a bit unfair they can only be displayed. More defined personalities among the villagers is definitely welcome. Oh, and possibly a way to order stuff from your house after the shops have closed. And yeah more collectable items because you can never have enough cool things to collect and display. That's all I can think of right now.
