heck yeah! my mind was set from the moment it was announced before the delay. i'm so pumped about this.
 
I've tested PC, plus another old mobile game, and I walked a few feet then I stood still. Shut the game off, restarted, and I was standing where I left off.

Even when you don't see the little autosave circle thingo, it still does it.

I really wish they hadn't added it.
It is already causing stress and making me wonder if I should cancel my preorders, because I know I dislike that feature so intensely, and it's a lot of money down the drain if the game ends up where you can't ever fix mistakes.

I really wish they would tell us more, like if it's optional. :)

I get it, i really do, I had the exact same worries you did when i bought a game that used this AS function, but it turned out that you could still have a main save, autosaves in general were there IF you made a mistake and could revert to the last time it saved.

But the issue is that you're using a mobile games way of autosaving instead of the way a consoles autosave works, which are completely different.

In mobile games, it has to connect to a server to save and its where its data is located and it has to be online all the time, where consoles (or personal computers) save it locally on its hard drive, and works offline.

That makes sense! And thank you for explaining it.
I really don't want to cancel, as for the most part, it looks brilliant, it's just that one thing. :)

no problem at all, just trying to keep things positive :)

They have mentioned autosaving but I wonder if that is an option, not mandatory. In pokemon shield, for example, they added in autosaving but you could turn it on or off.

In a weird way I feel like auto save animal crossing is like a hard mode/classic mode in fire emblem where you have to live with your mistakes, so I kinda want to do it even if I can turn it off.

Well, going off that new trailer for the switch lite, it showed save options so it’s a possibility.
 
I want to find out more about the in app purchases before deciding to reorder, as I don't want to start playing then find I have to start 'paying', as I won't be able to get a refund.

I hope the auto-save is optional for other people, just cause I can see scenarios where you might not want that.

But for me that was rarely ever an issue. In fact, far far more often I found myself wishing there was an auto-save in the past. I lost a lot of good stuff in Animal Crossing: New Leaf to my battery and other mistakes?

I will eat my feet if Nintendo decide to go with any sort of microtransactions. Substantial DLC is the only thing I can see happening, and even then they'll be few and far between. Not stating facts here, just saying it how I see it.

That's why I'm waiting for a direct before reordering.

I'm not going to put myself in a position where I can't get a refund.

I genuinely believe that once you start playing you won't feel like you want a refund, in-app purchases or not. You'll be far too immersed in the game to worry about it.

I won't be reordering it until there is a direct clarifying the in app purchases.
 
i was on the fence about it for a while but i have ultimately decided to get it
