I really want more pattern space. I use all 10 spaces for my houses. I wish I had 20 more for paths, and clothing.
The following updates would be great if they happened...
THE GOURMET UPDATE: Bored with only eating raw fruits, cake and candy? Had enough of only coffee and shakes? Confused as to why the supermarket sells no groceries? Frustrated with having to buy fake art from Redd just to eat something besides fruit?!
Well, no more of that! Introducing The Gourmet Update! Now you can:
-Give new meaning to your cooking appliances by preparing food with them! Combine ingredients and make something yummy!
-Buy candy at the convenience store, raw ingredients at the supermarket, meals at the Roost and more!
-Expand the coffee shop! Can you say bakery, diner, and resturant?
-Have a drink! Would you like some freshly-squeezed fruit juice? Or some tea? Or perhaps a soda, smoothie or good ol' water...
-Consult your fellow gourmets! Villagers may take an interest in the joys of cooking and share a recipe or two with their pals!
THE GRAPEVINE UPDATE: It was pitiful. Players would open their gates, wait for 10 minutes, close their gates and check the list. Meanswhile, the other player would check their list as the first is waiting for theirs to load, and open their gates while the other gates are open. They would then close theirs, just before the first checked their list, to check THEIR list.
It was miscommunication. And it was BAD.
Then, Nintendo said, "Let there be personal messaging!" And so it was. And the community saw that it was good.
THE LIKE-A-LOOK UPDATE: I once was blindspotted, but now I see south! Introducing the option to view the world from whole new... Well, not new, but new for this game... point of view! See that ^ button, the one you use to straighten your view? Well, press it to switch to a top-down perspective! Enjoy the wonders of seeing equally in all directions! Never scare away a beetle you didn't see, despite it being a mere 1 metre south of you, ever again! Want to see the beautiful night sky, check the weather or see the meteors? Easy! Pressing ^ cycles between Top-Down view, the signature New Leaf view, and flat view! Alternatively, if you own a NEW 3DS, the Z buttons work the same purpose! Enjoy!
THE GET-A-LIFE UPDATE: Ever noticed how some days you make 10,000 Bells, but the next day can hardly put together two silver coins? Get a job, hippie! Contribute to society for once! Certain professions may become availiable at certain points based on what you're good at and who has the ol' "Help Wanted" sign hanging. All they ask is some effort, devotion and some time out of your day, and you'll get a steady pay for doing what you love! Now you can:
-Help out Timmy and Tommy! Sometimes, even two people can't do everything at once. And sometimes two kids need some time to just be kids! Wouldn't you like to run some tasks for a kid like them?
-Become a clothier! Poor Sable is being worked to the bone! You seem pretty well at this whole design thing... Have you ever dreamed of getting PAID to make pro designs?
-Entertain! Shrunk is worried that Club LOL is becoming a one-trick pony. And let's face it: it is. Compose music and fulfill your dreams of custom music! It will be a little hard at first, but keep working on what instruments, notes and such until the little song in your head becomes reality!
-Embrace the joys of cooking! If you find the help wanted sign in the window of The Roost or any of its upgrades, then sign up to become a shift cook! Now you can get paid, enjoy the job and see your friends enjoy your efforts! ...Or not. But if you got the job, you're probably good enough at the art.
-And more!
Just getting rid of the villagers move in anywhere feature would've improved the game a lot more for me. I don't care if you got to decide where they moved in, or if they bought the sign posts back, I just wish they got rid of it.
I've always taken breaks and gone back to playing for every AC title, except NL, because I literally hated how villagers can move in anywhere, and that really killed replay value for me. I've always enjoyed designing my town but I never wanted to in NL because I didn't want to waste a lot of time designing a certain area of my town only to have some villager move in and ruin it right after I finished. So it really cut down on a **** load of potential play time for me. I mean don't get me wrong, I loved NL, I got a good ~1,000 hours of play time on it, but I stopped playing like a year ago, and I have no plans to play it ever again (unlike other AC games where I could stop playing for a year and happily come back and play again), because I see no replay value as I can't design my town. I mean yeah, I could plot reset, but seriously, I shouldn't have to go out of my way for something when the feature was perfectly fine in the previous instalments.
