What do you want differently/new in the upcoming AC game?
- Thread starter Antonio
- Start date
▶ For a social sim, the social aspects of AC have been a bit lacking. I wish there were more social options than just "hey, talk to me" and "never mind." It would have been nice to see some more writing as well, since it doesn't take long before you start seeing the same phrases repeated over and over. If the concept of friendships and rivalries between the NPC villagers was explored more, it would have been interesting.
▶ It'd be nice to maybe revamp the personality system. I know that's been a huge staple of AC, but maybe NPCs could have "main personalities" (like the ones they have now) but also have various other attributes as well, a la The Sims 3. This would leave the personalities intact while giving us more variety among NPCs within the same personalities. So maybe two NPCs are Jocks but NPC 1 dislikes thunder while NPC 2 doesn't mind it. Maybe NPC one also has a strong preference for a certain fruit or is obsessed with collecting a certain item. It wouldn't be too difficult for the devs to come up with personality traits and then assign turn those traits on/off for villagers.
▶ More in-depth relationship and conversation
▶ Lawn, backyard, and/or outside decoration
▶ Longer town name and player name sizes
▶ Larger villager cap
▶ More spaces for patterns
▶ Skin color choice and more intuitive system for picking face and hair
▶ Easier placement of town objects and houses, on a grid system (if we can even do this in the new one)
▶ Higher amount of customization on furniture
▶ More furniture interactivity
▶ More weather effects, like fog
▶ The ability to track where other players are when they are visiting your town
▶ Please let us use our amiibo cards in this one, too, Nintendo

More customization of your character, town, and house. More events. More villager dialog. More interactivity with the NPCs.

I'm pretty sure it's going to be in it, the ability to put things in the center (like on a table), hanging things on the ceiling, curtains! and Sally, please be back for this game!
Also many new types of flowers!
I would love to see Sunflowers in the game, other than being in a vase in the house.

I already have a whole bunch of ideas, but the first step is to expand the wallet size to 999,999 Bells. 99,999 was good for the older games, but due to having to trade multiple amounts of Bells recently online, I suggest that it needs another digit.
Oh yeah, and a return of those villagers they used to have but don't anymore! If Smash is going to be doing the whole "everyone's here" thing, Animal Crossing should follow suit. It'd be nice to see those obscure villagers again. Meow, Champagne, Megumi, Analogue, the whole lot.

I never played AC on the Wii, but I've heard about that bank card thing. I'd like something like a debit card for AC. Having to deal with tons of bell bags is quite annoying.

Yeah, That card was quite useful in my opinion.

- More customization options
- Animal roommates
- A bald head option so my boyfriend can look more like himself (he went with the official art over the Mii mask)
- A bigger character limit for town names
- A new villager species

I've said it before and I'm gonna keep saying it until they listen: No more grass deterioration.
In addition to that I'd like to see some Pocket Camp furniture sets. Especially the gothic rose set updated to be a full neccessities of life series of furniture. I'd make that the main furnishings of the main room of my house.
Also the ability for all flower types to be red, yellow, black, white, pink, purple, blue and orange. And let's throw in green and aqua just to freshen things up. Honestly, there's a LOT they could do with new features, changes to existing stuff or even porting older features not reused over.

I completely agree with the bank card thing! I'd also love the return of notes in bottles, it was a simple thing but so cute. I also hope they have something similar to New Leaf where you can choose from a few different map layouts.

I want the ability to send letters to other players from within your own town, like in City Folk.
Oh god, please no. That was terrible. They could alternatively have it so where if you have an item that is classified as a bed in your house, your character could be shown waking up from there. But designating an entire room and having a extra useless and ugly staircase was such a bad idea.

I agree with this entire post! I think the Pocket Camp furniture is the most likely out of them. Usually new furniture carries over from game-to-game. This has even been proven to be the case with spin-offs - most of the Happy Home Designer stuff came to New Leaf after the update. I prefer those new furniture to be in the game natively, and not require trading with or connecting to Pocket Camp to get it though. I won't play Pocket Camp.
But I guess if they're not in the game... hopefully I can trade for them. The trading community here is really robust. Once the AC Switch game comes out, I imagine a lot of the old fans who left because they got bored will likely come back.

these are all really good ideas!!! i've also thought about a couple of things for a while:
- - - Post Merge - - -
yeah, that sounds really neat!! i think it would make things a little moe immersive to start from a bed, but it's a lot better to personalize your house. i feel like it would be tough to implement though...then again, i don't know anything about programming video games
- i REALLY want to open my inventory while sitting down. it would be so much more immerisve for me to sit down at a desk when i write letters, or sit down while designing a sign...
- i want some more features from HHD. the ability to play with darker skin (so my dark-skinned friends can look like themselves), the cute new emotions (like girly pose and boyish pose), and the little things your villager holds when interacting with certain things (like utensils when interacting with food)
- i've talked about this before but i think animals should be able to take vacations, separate from moving out. they'd have to get your permission to move out, and it's permanent, but with vacations they can leave on their own for a few days and maybe bring you a souvenir if you're good enough friends! i think it would be fantastic, i feel like i'm keeping my bear cubs cooped up all the time by not having them move...

This will probably most definitely be in it but I want the same decorating as in HHD as in I can organize everything without having to drop every item individually and how the spacing works I honestly can?t use words right now but y?all know what I mean

well, it's a feature in new leaf so i imagine they're keeping it! i think they'll keep those little half-spaces too, which would be great. it'd make decorating a little less awkward.
- more storage tbh
- more pattern slots
- an idea i thought of for villager dialogue was that there would still be personality types but each villager would put like a 'spin' on their type ?? or maybe if thats too much, each animal has different dialogue and each personality type has different dialogue
- of course outside furniture
- something i'd love is an expansion on the letter system, maybe having more 'trigger' words programmed that if a villager picks up they'll reply with something on that topic if that makes sense
- more trophies. please. mini quests would be excellent but p l e a s e more trophies

I would like it if nintendo brought back the way villager personalities were in Wild World, the conversations and moods were so rude and more mature compared to New Leaf, which they dialed down with political correctness dialog, I really hope the personalities go back to the old way
