I want to see QOL features if they continue with the terraforming idea. I would also like to QOL features to decorating outside which I feel very confident they will continue. I want to also see the ability to adjust the volume of music separate from the ambient sounds. I want to see bulk crafting if they continue with crafting. I want to see a recipe book for recipes and a crafting book for crafting to be scribbled in instead of recipe cards that don't stack and that litter your town or farm. I know they were probably going for the trading aspect, but I feel like that didn't turn out well. Maybe for trading you can do some sort of special/rare payment or have a favor done for you at the post office to where you can make a photocopy for one recipe per day to send to another player.
I want to see berry shrubs. I feel like they are kinda needed at this point with farming and cooking being implemented.
I want to see Villagers more fleshed out. It would be nice to see some things said by villagers that aren't said by others. I am not expecting unique dialog per character, but rather by handfuls of characters. So if you have two normal squirrels for example, it would be nice to see a little difference in dialog between them. I do feel like they are trying to move into that direction with the subcategories of personalities. I would like to see that worked on more and it will be nice
I want to see villager visiting each other and you
(I understand this is already being added in the last update of ACNH)
I want to see frequent requests from villagers. While playing NL, it was a nice change to have villagers having requests more often than in ACNH.
Maybe this time, have cooking requests involved too? We got some hungry villagers who don't just want any dish.
I want to see suggestions from Villagers about your map or projects. I appreciate that with NL.
I want to see a grassy path option to where flowers don't spread on it. That was one of the things I didn't like about the dirt path in ACNH and with how the flowers were in ACNH I felt like it was hard to control flowers on grass.
Thinking that perhaps having flowers die may be something that should be "
re"implemented? Maybe have it a little different than how it was in NL but I really do think some sort of flower removal that happens naturally would be wise.
I want to also see other colors of stone pavement options. In ACNH I was a little disappointed to see 2 gray stone paths when one of them could have been a fancy brown. Or even a few shades of brown or blue for a cobble effect. I was happy to see the terracotta path considering we had a brick path. That was a good choice and what I am trying to illustrate with my suggestion of what I would have liked seeing with the gray stone path issue. I want to see an expansion on path options in general too. Like having a recycled rubber path or a pavement path.
With the sand path existing I want to see more plant options to get to grow in sand, such as a few types of cacti. Not just palm trees.
I want to see an expansion of diving creatures even if only 5 new ones are added.
I want to see some outdoor items be a little more interactive/animated but I don't expect this by any means.
But it doesn't keep me from wanting it lol.
I want to see beekeeping for honey production since cooking is implemented.
plus how cute would it be for your bear villager to have a couple of hives near their house??
