Features from older games that you wish returned in New Leaf?

I miss a whole lot from previous versions. I miss:
-snip-

I miss all of these as well :/ I especially miss Serena, the more rude Phyllis, and the shopping card. I really wanna get back on City Folk sometime.

I miss zany bottle messages the most. Especially the horoscope ones!

Also UFOs, acorns, villagers asking for fossils or loosing their keys, villagers being slightly ruder in general, villagers often having conversations with each other, the recycling box from WW, the observatory and Blather's long rants about donations. I also really miss getting random furniture from balloons. Once you have all of the balloon set the only reason for shooting them down is to get badges, or just for fun, I guess. The whole concept of going to the city was really cute too.

I agree with a lot of these!

I miss having the beach right at the edge of town. And I would love to have the cliff back from PG if we ever get a larger town, along with more villagers -- maybe 12-14? I don't think my NL town could fit any more, but I'd like a larger town with more landscape features. (Plus, those lovely bottle messages could make a return.)

I completely agree about WW holidays. I got so excited for special days in Wild World as a kid! I used to fill my front room with fossils and rare fish during the Flea Market and get rich, haha.

I didn't play CF nearly as much, but I would love to see the return of the city and some of its stores, especially the balloon stand. That was great. It might even be fun if your town only gave out balloons of a certain shape, and you had to travel to other towns to get others. Maybe dream towns could give out balloons of a single shape and color, and you could fill out your collection by dreaming!

The observatory was awesome. I made so many constellations.

However, I do prefer each playable character having their own house. If I'm going to make a second character, it's because I want to incorporate them into the town somehow.

And I LOVE the way my town looks without all those ugly signs sticking up everywhere. I also enjoy knowing that a new villager could plot just about anywhere. And even when it's annoying, I'd rather deal with random placement than have to design a town around all those wooden signs. Maybe we need a PWP for something like this?

Morning aerobics, Celeste's observatory, lighthouse duty, the early "pwps" from e+ (you could use your points at Nook's shop to buy cool things to put in your town, like gigantic footprints), the shopping card REALLY needs to come back if T&T Emporium is sticking around because nobody wants to run back and forth to the post office while collecting Gracie furniture...

And can we get some more support for #JusticeForKetchup2k16 up in here? I mean look at this darling! She deserves so much better...

I miss being able to ask your villagers for a task! Also, I remember the tasks being a little bit more interesting. Like, for example, it would be like, "hey, I lent my watch to Peanut, can you get it for me?" So you'd go find Peanut and she'd say, "oops, I actually lent that to Alfonso!" So you'd have to go find him. And then he might say, "Baabara actually has that!" So you'd go get it from Baabara and then you would bring it back to the villager who wanted their watch back and they'd say "thanks man here's a shanty wall" and you would cry real actual tears because it was one big fiasco that didn't pay off but at least it was something to do!

I also wish that the personalities were as blunt as they used to be! Though, I remember that the villagers were easier to anger and sadden back then, which I don't really miss! :0 I always felt bad making them sad / angry. It's *almost* completely avoidable now unless it's intentional.
