What do you want differently/new in the upcoming AC game?

[Alolan_Apples]

I would like to have interactive PWPs like a ferris wheel or a rollercoaster that even your villagers would be able to use, a man can dream right

As someone who loves to build his own in-game roller coasters in RCT, I would hope it?s an exciting roller coaster. But at the same time, a roller coaster PWP would take a lot of space.

 

[AccfSally]

I really want to see the red turnips again, I love growing them in AC:WW and AC:CF.

(The picture is mines)

 

[Snooty]

Here's what I'd like:

- more things (villagers, fruits, PWPs, furniture)
- cheaper house for more casual players and also those who want to make many multiple maxed-out houses
- villagers ask you where you would like them to move similar to a PWP
- larger pattern slots
- larger town
- better character customization
- PWP construction is only halted on major holidays, not on minor ones like a fireworks shouw
- a rock removal PWP that would allow you to remove a set amount of rocks, as well as rock redecoration PWP that would allow you to redecorate similarly to how you can redecorate town hall (with options like mossy, painted, fairy-tale, etc.)

I think all of that would be great!

 

[dj_mask]

I want it so that villagers don't plop their houses wherever they want them. That got frustrating fast.

Honestly, if this is introduced to the game, AC would be nearly perfect for me

 

[Carole]

More room outside (a larger terrain, like in ACCF).

More PWP's.

More than one town on the same cartridge? I have 3 towns on 3 different cartridges on three 3DSXL's right now. It would be so neat if they were located on the same acreage and I could just walk between them without having to travel there using local wireless.

 

[xiaonu]

-Allow character customization upon the start, including skin tone.
-Ability to decorate villagers homes like HHD, as well as the outside yard area
-Ability to pick and choose villagers we want, like pocket camp (maybe through amiibo cards or something?)
-Ability to choose where villagers can move their homes
-More PWPs
-Port all the new furniture from Pocket camp to the switch
-Ability to move furniture in two ways: the classic push/pull way or the new drag and drop HHD way.
-More camera angles
-more pattern/path slots
-ability to design clothes, maybe qr codes from NL will still work
-ability to drag a grid where PWPs go. running around with isabelle was too annoying to plop it nicely
-Ability to jump!
-See friends/visitors on the mini map
-Disable visitors from grabbing certain things like flowers, or running
-Choose when a villager is allowed to or not allowed to move
-More dialogue: More quirky stories or situations. Cranky villagers should be crankier.
-Shared holidays from all countries
-More interactivity with furniture or food items
-More mini games with friends (like at tortimer's island)

 

[Kalle]

@ Kalle they tried letting you draw on "basic templates" with Blanca...look where that got them XD

lol That's not the same. Each villager has a specific template (cat, deer, dog, etc.) with some differences like hair/fur, clothing, color, eyes, etc. Nintendo could allow us to create our own villagers pretty easily by providing some unique choices for each animal type.

 

[Alolan_Apples]

I have another:

You can ask villagers for PWP requests, or you can ask what’s going on (like how it was in the GameCube Version), and they may eventually suggest PWPs. I don’t want attention grabbing as the only way to unlock PWPs in the next game.

This should definitely happen, especially if they end up fixing the diving trick. I don't think they will keep the diving trick next game as it seems like it was unintentional, so we really need something else if we don't want to take literal years to complete the PWP list.

 

[smonikkims]

Yikes yeah, different way to unlock PWPs definitely. I think there's some merit in not having things like that unlockable at all, but in this particular case I think it's fun to have them unlock. Maybe they should unlock according to how you're playing and what your town is shaping up to be. Maybe if you have a whole bunch of flowers, or fish a lot, or catch a lot of bugs, you will get PWPs related to those areas first. That would make it interesting because you would end up getting PWPs that suit your playstyle or the theme you're going for. I dunno, that just popped into my head! I would definitely love to see being able to ask for requests or other things from your villagers again, but I do like being pinged for stuff too - maybe just not stuff as vital as moving or PWPs.

 

[Chouchou]

Things I want:

-Allow character customization upon the start, including skin tone.
-Ability to choose where villagers can move their homes
-More PWPs also interactive one's.
-Compatibility with Pocket Camp to transfer your items.
-Ability to move furniture in two ways: the classic push/pull way or the new drag and drop HHD way.
-More camera angles
-more pattern/path slots
-See friends/visitors on the mini map
-More dialogue
-Shared holidays from all countries
- Tool box so it will not take too many inventory space
- Picture collecting to return (this is a must for me, it makes building friendships worthy in my opinion).

What I don't want:
- All the hotels, cafe's and other urban things people suggest here. Guys, it's a forrest with animals. I don't want the game to be TOO big. I'm playing animal crossing for 12+ years now and I love the cosy aspect of it.
- Microtransactions or paid DLC
- The level format in friendship and yourself from pocket camp.

I'm curious to know whether you would be okay with these being allowed as optional PWPs. Would it bother you if they were in the game but you didn't have to build them? I know that there are arguments for not wanting them in the game at all but I'm curious as to what you think.

I can condole things like brewster cafe because it seems to fit. But why would you have a school or a restaurant? Ok, a restaurant I could cope with, because there is a lot of food in the game already. But don't make it too big. I mean, I don't want it to become like Harvest Moon or the Sims (although I love those games).If you put in things like, a hotel, I really don't see the fit with the game. In my opinion, the main goal in AC is to see your forrest town become something beautiful, make friends with the animals and collect a bunch of stuff + the event that happen across the year. I think all those idea's are crazy for the game, it puts the focus on a whole different level. Makes me think of Fantasy Life, where you could have all different skills in. I don't know really. If they are going to do things like this, I hope they pull it off and don't ruin the main esthetic of the game.

 

[Sweetley]

- More freedom in terms of building your town (at least the option to decide where
buildings and villager houses should be)
- The option to choose the face of your character right at the beginning instead of
getting a random face by answering certain questions
- A bigger town in general
- Having the opportunity to have at least 15 villagers in your town
- More/new town layouts
- New PWPs
- New fruits
- New villager species
- New villager personalities
- New shops and buildings
- New NPCs
- More Mini games
- New hair styles (curly hair styles for both male and female please)
- Bring back the morning aerobics
- Bring back the flea market
- Bring also back the observatory (Celeste needs her old job back)
- Rude villagers (enough with this cutie cute kindness from New Leaf)

Yeah, those are the things that came up in my mind right now and that I want in
the new game.

What I don't want:
- All the hotels, cafe's and other urban things people suggest here. Guys, it's a forrest with animals. I don't want the game to be TOO big. I'm playing animal crossing for 12+ years now and I love the cosy aspect of it.

Well, City Folk had a bus that brought you to a modern-ish city and Happy Home
Designer had also a little town with hotel, theater, restaurant etc. and it fitted to
the AC universe. Besides, I mean, why not having both a cosy forest town and also
a more urban like location that you can visit optional? So all players get what they
want. It's not like that all of this has to be in one location, if it's like in City Folk where
you can visit a big city if you want to then it would work perfectly if you ask me.

That would be fine by me. Just not in the towns.

 

[tsukune_713]

-i want it to look similar to the mario kart tract (and definitely not like like pocket camp, thats toned down nl graphics, no reason to use worse graphics than whats out already)
- I want it to be a big town with the new graphics so it feels like a forest or where ever you design your town to be
- More flowers (like in pocket camp) bugs and fish and fossils, having more options is always better in that regard
- more kinds of trees and i dont mean fruit trees exactly, but trees that may have flowers in it most of the year, trees that are bigger than the others, ones that have different color leafs
- i dont think we should have complete control where villagers go
- i want the villager personalities to be stronger like they used to be, cranky s being rude sometimes, jocks out doing sporty things, etc...
- for the shopping area to be a place i want to actually go and not just to do whatever i need to quick
- More themes of furniture
-more map layouts and variety of changes that they can have
- more weather and for the weather to get more extreme at times, like severe thunderstorms, snowstorms, big waves hitting the beach, strong wind at times (that doesnt damage anything)
- for the season changes to change the sun position which changes how things look (they do it pretty well in the mario kart tract)
- no more balloon furniture coming from the balloons or at least they become a rare drom from the balloons xD
- new music in game and from kk id love some seasonal and holiday sounding ones XD

 

[kayleee]

I hope amiibo cards will be compatible otherwise I spent 400$ collecting all of them for nothing

 

[JJarmon]

• Bigger town than New Leaf.
• Bring back the debit card from City Folk.
• New species (Owls, Bats, Foxes, etc).
• New personality types.
• Bring back all the old villagers!
• International holidays for everyone.
• More social features and interaction, deeper dialogue!
• Choose where the villagers move for crying out loud.
• More pocket room for patterns!
• 12 neighbors would be awesome, or even better, 15.
• New flowers, trees, and bushes.
• More town customization.
• Bring back all the good things from the old games, like gymnastic mornings and little things from Pocket Camp.
• More online mini-games.
  
  The list is endless.

 

[pinkfawn]

A lot of my wishes are already mentioned here but I'm gonna mention them anyway because I also want them

>New Species- Definitely want Species of animals that are already NPC characters, like Owls, Foxes and Raccoons. But I want more like Bats, Sharks, Skunks, Ferrets, and maybe a few other marine creatures like Dolphins or Whales. Obviously they won't add that many in but a few of those I would love to see.
>Species Variations- By this I mean different looks for animals we already have. Dogs with pointed ears (specifically Shiba Inu and Border Collie!), Cats with shorter ears/flat faces (Scottish Fold, Persians, etc), or even just more animals with minor changes like Julian or Drago.
>Bigger Town- I'm currently playing Population Growing and the town feels so big! I hate the pause and go screen between acres but I really did like the grid format with the acres where you could see what acre things were on.
>Friendship Levels- Kinda iffy on this one but I really like leveling up my friendship visibly with my campers on Pocket Camp. Knowing how much Rosie likes me is a huge plus and one I wouldn't mind carrying over to Switch.
>Mean Villagers- As a kid I remember playing Wild World and being scared of Octavian and Caesar because of how mean they were to my villager. I didn't like it when I was young but now I'm an adult and I'm kind of tired of everyone being so nice and friendly (until provoked) on New Leaf. Sometimes its nice to know the animals are having a bad day just like everyone else. No one can expect anyone to be so nice and friendly all the time.
>Mean Resetti- I always save so I never really see him, but I also remember as a kid rolling my eyes whenever I walked outside and Resetti popped out of the ground to yell at me. I skipped lightning fast through his monologue but it sure was a lot better than seeing him kinda bummed out in New Leaf.
>New Items- Of course this is going to happen but I would love to see all the new items introduced in HHD, PC and a few brand new ones appear in my catalog.
>Interact with Items- It would be nice to see the little interactions with items like they have in HHD in a main game. I love going to a stove in HHD and seeing my villager cooking! It's so cute and fun.
>More Neighbors- I said it in another post that my ultimate dream would be 20, but more realistically even if they brought back 15 from the GC version I would be over the moon.
>More Holidays- I would love more holidays or special events. They cover basically all of the holidays where I live but I would love to see more events that are exclusive to other regions.
>More dialogue- Please more options for interactions. The animals in New Leaf felt so stale after a few years of playing. They repeated the same things over and over and they became more like town decoration than neighbors.
>Zoning- I don't want this game to become too player-chooses if that makes sense. Its fun to just let random things happen! But with that being said it is very frustrating when a villager moves in front of another building or next to a bridge. Having specific locations where new villagers can move would be a good thing.
>More Player Customization- Being able to pick skin tone is a must have at this point. Honestly it's kind of ridiculous that we couldn't pick our skin color until HHD. In addition to that, cute little topical details would be fun too like freckles, moles, scars, etc.

OK I FEEL LIKE... that's enough for now without echoing what everyone else wants. Those are just the top things that come to mind.

 

[Nooblord]

It'd be cool to have like an eBay in-game service to trade with others online. I don't like adding people just to trade with them and never see them again.

Also have a way to access a gallery where you can upload and download designs people make at the Able Sisters. Since QR codes won't be a thing anymore, I'm pretty sure this is going to make it into the game.
