Will you be disappointed if this games setting is completely "city" based?

[Speeny]

Even though I never played City Folk, I heard that it's one of the least favourite titles. But at least from what I know that game had traditional Animal Crossing fused with a bit of the city aspect. (Probably less than people had hoped for.)

I really don't like the idea of Animal Crossing incorporating the "big city" element/aspect.

I am more used to the traditional idea of being in a little seaside town with lots of greenery, casually going about catching your bugs & fish, etc. (That's just me though.)
To me, it feels much more "homey" & manageable. Even with the traditional locations of Animal Crossing, they can still do a lot more with it without needing to expand the scope of the game to something completely different.

Thoughts?

yeah I want a country town. That's the biggest charm of the game to me and I don't want towns urbanized to that extent

Glad you agree.

I wouldn't mind it...just don't have entire highways and large roads in the town. Things like Cars and open world style walking around buildings wouldn't be much of a problem as long as we get to have our own little animal villages with greenery separate from the hussle n bussle of city life. Just going there for grocery shoping, like the main street from new leaf wouldn't be a bad thing. Now if we had the cities and the mayorship in your town was nothing compared to the city's life, with Tom Nook as the President over every village created? that'd be funny, seeing how much he has risen to power. buying all those Villages to have random NPCs as mayors for them that he could easily control (or just Isabelle). now that I think about it, just Tom nook controlling everything in a city style would be an interesting monar-new style of things.

i never played CF, and i didn't even know it was a least favorite game. i do really like the feel of a small town and not a big city, however. small towns feel comfy and not overly crowded

That'd be fresh & funny. Though, Resetti for Mayor anyone? lol

oh boy, imagine how scary he'd be. instead of he reset office, in the city he'd have a giant building with his face plastered on the front with a statue of Tom Nook. there is a peroidic red flashing and loud beeping that goes on to symbolize that somebody somewhere in the world reset, so theres a big truck that goes over with a robot resetti punisher going for it.....I'm going too far into it

Lol, this is great. Endless possibilities for sure.

I didn't mind City Folk for the city aspect as much as it didn't seem to do as much to upgrade from Wild World (it added some new villagers but got rid of villager pictures and felt very similar). It wouldn't be my least favorite thing as it would probably function like Main Street, but I do prefer the more rural theme.

 

[AlyssaAC]

I only got to play City Folk for maybe a year or less before the disc decided it didn't want to work for me, but if I remember correctly, it wasn't too bad. Just like a few people have said, it didn't change much from Wild World. Just added a few things and removed some. I kinda like the forest feeling more than I do the city feeling. So yeah, I would be kinda disappointed if they made it more city like than country like.

I think they pretty much perfected the secondary "city-like" setting in New Leaf with Main Street, but there is always room for expansion.

But always remember, the series Japanese title translates to Animal Forest, so I don't think we will ever see too much of a departure in the general setting.

 

[cornimer]

I will definitely be disappointed if it's city based. As other people have said, I like Animal Crossing for its small-town country charm; if they made us live in an urban area it would not feel like Animal Crossing anymore.

 

[UglyMonsterFace]

I really would hate a modern city setting. I'd like a small town forest feel for my town. If they include modern city pwp's like in acnl but more expanded, I would be fine with it since it's optional and I know some people like that and they should be able to have that. But for me, I'll use the more woodsy country/fantasy (hopefully) pwps! If the shops and other buildings are all suddenly skyscrapers and stuff, I'll probably not like the game at all. I doubt they'd force that on us though. After all.. it was originally Animal *Forest* so yeah..

Good point.

Yeah the skyscraper thing would be total overkill. D:

Exactly. Sure, it may be good to see what the Switch is capable of with the new title but it would ruin the experience entirely.

 

[pawpatrolbab]

Yes, I absolutely hated City Folk. I play the game to escape, if I wanted to go to the city I'd just step outside!

 

[tsukune_713]

i would hate it and truthfully if they ever did that i dont know if i would even bother to buy the game at all
city folk wasnt bad the "city" was similar to new leafs and had less really than it even so it wasnt city themed at all really

 

[Verecund]

I much prefer the city from CF over NL's Main Street because the city keeps the urban atmosphere out of your town and so it's kind of like a little shopping hub or something that's out of the way of the town, and it keeps your village's quiet country setting. Main Street is making the town itself too modern and urban for my liking. I wouldn't mind the city being brought back, but I hope Main Street doesn't make a return--I'd rather have the major shops randomly dispersed in my town.

 

[Envy]

My problem with CF wasn't necessarily the existence of the city, it was what they did with the city. It was the fact that a lot of the visitors who used to visit town from time to time were now in the city all of the time (IIRC).

New Leaf does it way better. New Leaf does pretty much everything better. CF was terrible.

 

[watercolorwish]

if they could shoved city and country together that would be nice. just let us build businesses and buildings and we can make it a city if we want. like the sims but with animal crossing flare i guess. they let us customize individual houses in hhd so the next step would be landscaping. if it was only city oriented though that would blow

 

[Chouchou]

Yes it's fine if they add a city but I want to live in a forrest.
