It's not that surprising really, and I don't think it's as big a problem as you're making it out to be. There are a few instances here and there, but it doesn't feel like it's overdone in the game. Some of the things villagers say remind me of people I know, especially if they use modern slang...
My copy arrived yesterday and I'm finding it to be pretty helpful. :) Between that, the japanese guides, and the internet, I think I'm covered! XD
Oh and I didn't notice any duplicate or missing pages in my copy.
Yeah, that happened to me. A villager (Marcel) invited me over and as I was rooting through his drawer, my character said something like "this must be where he keeps his treasure" and it was a regal chair. He then gave me the chair for free, and allowed me to buy furniture that was around his...
There's a Best Buy 10 min (or less, depending on traffic) away from me, so this is awesome! :) I should have 4 characters by then, so if I can get 4 sets maybe I can share with someone.
I've never used the Nintendo Zone before though. Can I be in the Best Buy parking lot and access it, or do I...
I think the trailer is meant to attract players that have never tried an Animal Crossing game before. Otherwise, I think they would've mentioned the new features (like being mayor) that make it different from previous versions.
For me, time is moving by super fast because I've got a portfolio show on April 18 that I have been busy preparing for, and then I graduate May 5th (so many assignments to finish!). After that, I'll only have about a month to wait, which will be spent on post-graduation stuff (like looking for a...
Well, Campus is a really famous line of school supplies over there, so having it as a DLC makes sense. The second one in the picture is an eraser turned into a couch.
Maybe they could add something where the more you interacted and became better friends with villagers, the more they would help with donating to projects and pulling weeds? That would encourage people to talk to villagers more. :)
More community projects would be cool, like a swimming pool that your character or villagers could swim in (and maybe swimsuits could be sold too for it), or a swing set that your character could sit and swing on. :)
This is the april issue: http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%81%B4%E3%81%93%E3%81%B7%E3%82%8A-April-%E3%82%A8%E3%83%B3%E3%82%BF%E3%83%BC%E3%83%96%E3%83%AC%E3%82%A4%E3%83%B3%E3%83%A0%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF/dp/4047287946/
And this is the February one...
Amazon Japan carries it, if that's an option for you. It looks like they will still have AC content for the June/July issue, based on the tiny preview in the April/May issue:
And they're still taking submissions for designs, so maybe the next one will have a design supplement too!:
