I would like to know what others think could be improved about NL, I think the game was very well made but I do have a problem with the villagers. They are too repetitive for one, they say the same things too often and it is now too difficult to tell apart their personalities. Normals used to be more sensitive and easy to upset, but also they were really loyal. Crankies used to actually be cranky, and it took awhile to become friends with them. The snooties ding act as snobbish anymore. I feel like they changed the personalities to make it more kid friendly but I wish they could figure out a way to let it adjust to the players age.
I think the house placement is very annoying,I wish Isabelle could bring you residency papers when a villagers wants to move in and as mayor you could decline or approve. Also with the PWP you should have the option to drag it to the exact area where you want it with the stylus. It would be cool if you where able to make certain parts of town specific, for example you could set villager move in areas and villagers would move in to that spot, hybrid breeding areas and orchards. If they make a wii u version they I'd be cool if they could encorporate the animal crossing plaza into the game. It would be like city folk where you could take a bus or whatever to the plaza and meet villagers and stuff there, and invite them to your town. Or just make new friends with villagers. With this you would be able to talk to Villagers who have moved out of your town but still have convos with them unlike NL when you can't really talk to them much in the shopping district
Anyone else agree with this or have any other suggestions?
yeah after playing the old games recently i really realize how dumbed down the stuff they say has gotten. idk why maybe they want it to be even more kid friendly and were afraid the villagers would hurt a kids feelings? it really bugs me lmao. seriously everytime i play the old games i hear something new but in new leaf i hear the same things over and over and over. maybe its because i don't play the other games all day everyday like new leaf but seriously they need to bring back that variety in the next game.
It could be nice to have an online neutral town, sort of like the Island. I'm afraid to open my gates and invite people over because of random persons ruining towns and stealing things...
I wish the villagers didn't task you with everything. Can you get me fruit? I have a delivery! Get me furniture for my house.
Instead of being the mayor, you're more like the maid. Also, the villagers aren't diverse enough. Cherry and Mira say the exact same things. I know they both have the uchi personality, but they could have changed it a bit.
i would like to see more customization. for example, a lot of times there is a shirt, hat ,or even shoes that i love the style but not the color. i would love being able to change the color or patterns of clothes and accessories like we can with furniture.
Yea I like the idea of having diversity even though personalities are the same, maybe they could give each character a specific interest? Like Mira should talk about superheroes ( cause she's one) or maybe her siblings and Cherry could talk about idk maybe creepy books ( I really don't know what she would like)
yeah i agree i wish they would make certain phrases for specific villagers at least. not sure how that would work but just something besides the same stuff everyday
-More personalities and dialogue choices.
-Ability to customize your mayors skin color.
-Ability to be non-binary.
-Getting to choose where a villager can live.
-Having the choice to renovate clothing, sort of like furniture customization with Cyrus. Maybe for a fee the Able Sisters can change the color/pattern of a piece of clothing?
Honestly my only complaint is we should be able to choose where villagers move, I shouldn't have to reset for 4 hours straight just to get a villager to move where I want! Hmm I lied I have another complaint, I want more furniture sets! I don't think they added enough new furniture, alot of it was recycled from the previous Animal Crossings... I want more! xD
What aspects of New Leaf do you think could be improved?
1) Zoning (for houses and buildings); that they should be movable (categorize under ordinance, if necessary)
2) Storage (If we can stack fruit, how about clothes and flowers and ? why even bells!?)
3) Paths (templates, please!)
4) Faster PWP Access (we all get tired of the waiting, waiting, and waiting for villagers to tell us, "Hey, Mayor?[town name] could use a [Public Works Project]. I'll go tell Isabelle!")
5) Easier Shopping Access (not only for the high-end Gracie but also for too-few Starts, etc.)
-We should be able to hire Leif to move rocks!
-We should be able to just drag where we want the PWP instead of let Isabelle imagine something further back and to the right of what we said!
-Villagers could have specific dialogue based not just on personality but species as well. (e.g. Cats being really into getting fish as presents)
-Skin colors
-We could be able to customize clothing and PWPs like we do furniture
-Path building PWPs which would automatically change with the season (instead of the pattern thing now). Maybe users could even makes some, with special pixels designated as grass (so they would also change automatically)
i don't mind the rocks or the ponds or that PWPS take a while to be obtained. the game would be _incredibly_ too easy. it adds a real factor to the game, a difficulty if you will. i feel like animal crossing would be a totally different game if you could choose all of those things.
the house placement should be easier to have, like if you have flowers or furniture on the ground, they shouldn't be able to place there. PWPs could stand to be easier to obtain, but honestly i don't have a problem with the rate that i'm getting them since i do talk to my villagers all of the time and i do get about one a day.
i adore the idea of customizing clothes like furniture, and i do hate the dialogue repetition. i probably hate the repetition the most. i would love some more colour customization for pathing (if you used that colour for the grass, why tf is it not available in the colour palette, come on). the interior of katrina's actual shop should be different, at the very least that could entice more people to build her store. club LOL is an interesting aspect, but it's kind of sad to just be in there with 1 or 2 villagers/friends. maybe if you could buy cool juices like brewsters.
and grass wear. please. like. ugh.
Ditto to ellemac's points on diversity and to all of Candy83's points.
I'd also like to see the diving mechanics tweaked maybe just a little bit? They're not horrible, but...okay, I admit it, I'm a terrible diver. :C Additionally, I'd like to see improved special visitor mechanics. I get that some people get certain visitors more than others to encourage multiplayer, but I've still only met Gracie once (though I did stop playing for close to nine months =/). I also don't see any reason why certain visitors close up shop early, like Katrina. I don't necessarily think they should be open all night (although that would kind of make sense with characters like Redd and Katrina), but I also think 8-9 PM is a bit early to close.
Better music (more like the original please!)
More villager types (Bats, Donkeys, etc...)
Bigger towns! MUCH bigger towns, please please please bring back cliffs in the next game, I loved those
Better villager dialogue
Also, make the town tree area smaller, it's way too large for such a small town.
