I also didn't like the taller characters, when I first saw them my reaction was: "Ughhh, what is this?!" But I got excited because of the new possibilities and after a few hours of playing I already loved the new design. When I wanted to show my mother what the game is about I was like: "You can try out AC Wild World! It's almost the same, there are just fewer details!"... But after starting my old DS Lite with Wild World I almost passed out. My memories were obviously romanticized. A lot.
