[SPOILER] Datamine hints at new and returning features

[Blue Cup]

Unpopular opinion incoming, but food gardening and cooking have no place in this game...none at all. I will welcome the return of Redd, Lief, Brewster, and diving, but definitely not food gardening, and definitely not cooking.

You're not going to state something like that and not offer some sort of explanation.

Like any good or baseless opinion, I don't have to justify it, I just have to have one. [Insert derp emoji]

Farmville burned me out on the idea of a gardening simulator, and I love Animal Crossing because there's always just the right amount to do in the right amount of time. Vegetable gardens, to me, would be a time suck rather than an added bonus.

Yes, I know, I could ignore it altogether, but that's not who I am. If this type of simulation gets added, I hope it's not for another year. Again, add things back we've had in prior versions, and let us process terraforming, but adding features for the sake of adding them doesn't necessarily make the game better.

I get this perspective on it, but would growing vegetables really be different than planting a fruit tree in concept?

For sure. Plant a tree and forget about. I can't do the same with gardens.

Fair enough! If the devs do implement a feature like this, hopefully their cognizant enough to recognize what's relaxing about growing flowers and trees in Animal Crossing. I don't personally see a farmville-esque simulator coming out of this game, but any theory's fair game. As far as we know, the vegetables could just be references to a copy-and-pasted Thanksgiving event.

If it's tied to an event, I'm all in. Bunny Day was ridiculous, but it was only 12 days. I just can't see gardening being a reason why this game could be better.

A little hesitant on farming as that has never been part of AC... super duper excited to see more shops / more upgrades of shops tho!! and for cafe and redd to come back!

 

[Globes216]

I love the idea of Redd coming in on a ship to the private beach at the back!
Personally though im really not a fan of the cooking aspect, I wasn't too keen on crafting and it was quite heavy at the start of the game but I feel like cooking would be something I personally am not into for animal crossing

 

[axo]

I personally choose to believe that cooking and farming will just be to create new DIY recipes, since there are so few food “furniture” items (not including native fruit DIYs) I’m hoping the implementation of cooking will solve that rather than the energy bar.
I really don’t think animal crossing is ever going to become a farming sim, I think we’re gonna he able to plant and harvest whatever and whenever we want, and hopefully use our harvest in cute DIYs like jack-o-lanterns and decorative corn door decorations. That’s just my hope though

i just want gyroids bro

 

[aibo]

i just want gyroids bro

They are directly referenced in the guidebook, so this may be within reach.

 

[PinkCrayon]

not too excited about cooking or farming. i like it in other games, but i'm worried it'd feel out of place in animal crossing :^/
but i guess i'll have to adapt to it, i'll prob end up enjoying it if it does get added anyways

 

[LinDUNguin]

yeah, at this point there's no question as to whether or not we will be getting them. It's more that I have so many ideas for decorating with them right now that...bro, I just need my gyroids.

Any sign of a dream suite alternative please??

 

[Millysaurusrexjr]

So excited for these to arrive!! But I am also hoping for the return of the dream suite.

I really hope that diving requires a tool call the diving gear or scuba gear. Would be so cute to see players diving around the island with scuba gear on.

Also hoping Realestate shop allows us to expand the island and build new types of housing like townhouses, duplexs and apartments.

The vegetables im not really surprised about, I kinda had a feeling that would be a thing considering how many times I have seen players request it.
