I love the game so far, but there's a lot of stuff I'd really like to see:
- Bring back the old furniture and clothing from New Leaf, along with adding some more item variety. I'd love some more fantasy/steampunk stuff along with some normal interesting stuff I can put in my house; PC had some great items that they could add as well.
- Make it possible to get every type of fruit without trading with other players. Having a possibility of seeing all other fruit (and flowers!) on the Nook Mile islands would be the best case, but I'd be fine if we could get them all through Mom/villagers like we could in previous games. Even if it takes months to get everything that'd be fine, as long as it's possible.
- Bring back the cut special characters, at least most of them. I'm fine if they leave Luna out (she'd probably be an online-only thing which I couldn't use anyway) and I don't care about Lottie or Katie either, but I'd like to see everyone else; I'd especially have preferred to see Pelly and Phyllis take Isabelle's job, with either Digby or Isabelle taking the night shift for Tom Nook. But since they won't do that, I'd also be fine with a post office building for them and moving the card stand there from the airport. I'd also like to see Serena make an appearance again; probably one of the more unlikely characters to be brought back, but I never got to meet her in CF and she seemed interesting!
- If they bring Brewster's cafe back, I'd like to see K.K. do his performances in there again.
- Make golden tools unbreakable, or at least put an indicator on the normal tools (maybe even something like how the axe icon appeared cracked in previous games when it was about to wear out).
- Bring the preview option back when buying wallpaper and flooring.
- Back accessories that aren't bags, like the wings from PC.
- The ability to have more villagers on an island, maybe up to 12 or 15 (and adding in some more new/returning villagers would be great, too).
- Giving villagers the ability to change their wallpaper/flooring if you give them some. I remember doing this in WW, not sure why they ever took this out.
- The ability to put rugs outside.
- Bring back Bright Nights, La-Di-Day, and the Flower Fest from WW.
- Maybe something similar to the golden axe trade sequence from WW? It was long but I thought it was fun and rewarding, and it gave you another reason to interact with the special characters. I think something similar to that would be a cool addition!
- Let Daisy Mae sell red turnips!
