What would you like to see in the next AC?

[Invisible again]

Here's what I think would be cool for the future:

It'd be great to have more rooms in the player's house, especially upstairs and downstairs. Or maybe even let the player be able to design the layout of their house and choose which rooms go where and how big or small they'll be or how they're shaped as well. Also... it'd be great for villagers who have circular homes to have the interior be circular too. It's just weird seeing a circular home and coming in to find the room rectangular in shape.

More storage options would be nice. Perhaps, we could have like a toolbox to store all our tools in. Also, it'd be REALLY awesome to have maybe a closet or wardrobe to store all of our clothing, accessories, and shoes. And maybe have refrigerators to store fruits and other edible goodies. Then, have regular drawers and cabinets for everything else.

I think it'd also be cool to bring back the City Folk town layouts, with the hills and the town at sea level, and maybe the beaches could be a bit bigger, instead of just puny little strips of sand. That way, we could add certain PWPs like the picnic blanket and the hammock. Another thing that'd be cool is if they'd bring back islands. Oh, and perhaps after having chosen a town map, we can get to choose where we want our villagers' houses to be, and villagers can only move to those specific spots. Then, we could add sidewalks through out the town, and then when you finally start the game, the town will have the layout you want. It would save A LOT of work... Also, choosing your native fruit would be really cool, too. Or have more fruit options, like berries.

I'd also love to see more recreational buildings/areas, such as restaurants, a cinema, a gym, a bowling alley, a public swimming pool, a bookstore, a music shop, a park/playground, and more boutiques/a mall. And more recreational activities would be cool, too. Also, it'd be nice if we could actually feed our characters real meals, and maybe they can cook different dishes as well. Also, we could have vacations and go to different places, like a tropical resort on the beach (not like Tortimer's Island) for let's say the max is two weeks, and the price could vary for however long your staying. And you could have the option of bringing another villager along, too. c:

More storage. It would be nice to have a separate wardrobe item to store all my clothes because I like to change my character's appearance often and I must sacrifice a lot of wardrobe space.

I also think it would be cute if we had other characters living in the town that we could actually see them walking about and doing things like in dream towns. And if you share a game card with your sibling, which I did at some point I would totally beat them with a net.

I'd like if the town looked more like...a town lol more places to shop and definitely a bigger map! Maybe some kind of farming aspects? I like harvest moon games but hate that your life runs out soooo fast(super annoying) so having farming (even a lil bit) would be awesome in Animal Crossing

 

[willowwolf]

Also if for some reason you mess up and a villager you want to keep ends up in boxes, you can convince them to stay! That would be so so nice!!

 

[emilythestrange]

omg that would be a brillant idea !

 

[ForeverAFlame]

@ForestaNinfa

Maybe they would make a new fence type, like a 'house fence' and you could build one and the next villager would put there house in one of them?

 

[Momzilla]

I think it would be cool if we could break tradition a bit and make our MC as an animal...

Like choose the species and colors and such..

Also, I wish we could select a map and then place the landmarks where we want them. The initial resetting a million times to get a good map is SO mind numbing.

 

[willowwolf]

There also needs to be a way to send money to someone through atm that way there is no time consuming bell dropping and you don't get confused and forget how much you dropped. Someone wants 10mil bells? Easy just transfer it over sorry if someone already said this lol

Oh my gosh I so agree. I have a weird little peeve too about the landmarks that are placed non-symmetrically on the cobblestones. In fact I have so many little preferences that it's pretty much impossible to get it all at once no matter how much I reset. So yeah, getting to choose for yourself would waive all of that, and I can't be the only one who's fussy. xD

 

[Xylia]

In the next AC I'd like to be able to send items to OTHERS, not just villagers and ppl in your town only.

 

[radioloves]

I would love see all furniture sets are orderable, more clothing, more slots for design and they won't be replaced, more shops, more villager species, maximize villager compacity, more new villager looks, more furniture sets, new events, new themes, more mini games, allowing for map editing, easily move villager houses and decide where to move them in, the option to move out villagers, more lines from villagers, more mail, more everything and more options for everything lol most importantly they'll always continue with the game series!!!!! c:

 

[Mellyjan3]

More storage would be awesome, and I think I saw someone else post that it'd be cool to be able to send other players (maybe ones registed on your 3DS friendslist) letters, and attatchable things like hybrids, furniture, etc. and maybe make the island bigger.

Josh Thomas of the Bit Block wasn't too far off from what I'd like to see, but instead of a hot air balloon, it's got to be something more in line with Japan since this is developed by Japanese people living in Japan. I'd like to see the taxi return, but instead of being driven by Kapp'n (stupid move by the way), I'd rather it be by some new character. There's only one sloth in the game, why not 2? Leif can have someone he's related to... drive... the... taxi... (Sorry, Zootopia flash- heh, heh, back). Point is, I'd rather they have a train for visiting other towns, but return a taxi to take you to some city, maybe like a metropolis type online like the way Kapp'n does. I wouldn't mind too if they let you skip dialog like they do now with Kapp'n. That way if you want to hear it, you can, but if not, you don't have to.

The biggest thing I want, and I thought about this today. Villagers only use nets and (somewhat) rods. Let's see them actually dig a hole- you could fill it in, they could be all surprised and say something like "I was going to bury this gyroid, but you just filled my hole in!" as well as possibly use an axe, where they like strike a tree, and something falls down. I'd like to see them swim now too, especially with the swimming moves they now do in HHD. Point is, I'd like to see them act more human than before, I like them sitting, but I'd like to see them take a seat. I like how the use their net during the Bug Off, but I'd like to see them swing an axe, or dig a hole, swim even, the things that we do, have them do it, they are anthropomorphic after all!!

More flowers, vegetables, and an option to let anybody in your town (one by one, with an option to kick certain people out).

 

[ADanishMuffin]

The thing I would like to see the most would probably be more ways to better customize the terrain of your town, like moving villager homes and a more concrete way to create dirt paths, and possibly a bigger map. Besides that, I guess I would also want more villager personalities, animals, and maybe even just dialogue, because even though there's already a ton, I want to see a lot more (and after a while things do tend to get stale with the villagers)!

 

[tsukune_713]

id like to have the view slightly lower and buildings and tress be a bit bigger so it gives the feeling of your village being even bigger along with it being bigger obviously lol
and more personalities and thigns villagers say
move flowers, fish, bugs, ect...
i dont think we should choose where villagers move, it does suck when they move in on our orchards, flowers, ect... but it adds some randomness to the game and shows we cant control the villagers which makes more sense to me

- A deeper, more immersive weather system. There should be wind, rustling leaves and even falling leaves between September 21st and October 1st. Heavy wind could create resistance as you run. I'd like to see puddles with reflective surfaces after rainfall. Accumulating snow would also be nice, with deeper accumulations slowing your running speed down.

- The option to turn off BGM and just listen to nature ambiance of birds, insects and other wildlife.

- I want to see the overhead rolling log effect done away with. I would love to see the series jump into a full 3rd person experience complete with 360 r camera, first person view mode (for inspecting things, using the slingshot, etc)

- If the Mayor thing is to stick around, then we need to be given more free range over what we can do. For example, our character should be dreaming in the beginning and it is in that dream that we encounter Rover. From there he asks us if we would like to shape the land for which we are moving to or if you would like him to randomly generate it for you. On top of this, villagers should submit residency applications that you then approve (no denying them, can't give too much control) and from there you decide where they move to.

 

[Buttonsy]

Something I've thought of, is that, you know how there are lines of dialogue that are shared between villagers of different personality types? (Like if you have two peppy villagers, they will often say the exact same things) I think it would be cool if they did that for species too, like had cat-specific dialogue, sheep-specific dialogue, etc.

STACKABLE FLOWERS.
