What to change for the next Animal Crossing

[cannedcommunism]

I want to choose to be a certain animal instead of being human. Oh, and have bat and raccoon villagers.

I think you should be able to choose whether or not you want to be mayor.

I want there to be more places to explore other than the island.

Being able to change the color of Accessories, hats , shoes and socks, like you can the furniture with ores.Maybe they could even upgrade Able and Mable's shop.

How would "select all" not be useful in animal crossing though? At retail if you want to sell an inventory of bugs from the island you have to tap each one individually. It literally makes no sense not to have one.

I myself don't see this as an necessity. Yes, in some games this really does help a lot and saves time. But in Animal Crossing your inventory is so small. It doesn't take a lot of time to scroll through your items and pick the ones you want to sell/whateverthatisyou'redoing, and therefore it's possible to use the game developing effort into something else. If they make the inventory a bit bigger when the next game comes out (or make an additional backpack or something) I can somehow see the point of the "select all"-option. They also should fix the inventory's shape, since selecting particular stuff from there would be a bit difficult right now.

Actually I already told one of my biggest wishes; make a bigger inventory, pretty please. I know there's a fuss about this everywhere, but I just can't understand how frustrating this is. Especially coming back from the island is a nightmare, sometimes I can't help it but just leave most of the fish to the basket. :s Also being able to have multiple closets would be top. After playing for only a bit over four months I've gathered so much cool stuff without being able to actually keep them. Sucks.

More hair options. I haven't actually seen the boy character's hair options, but the girl ones are a bit off. I was hoping to see something longer and not so flat (= able to see the ears). Link's cap saves the day now - but just for now. Otherwise the whole character customization process is just fine.

More villager slots! Ten slots seems good, but I really wouldn't mind having couple more. :3 It'd also be nice to be able to affect who wants to move out. I know it's possible to make villagers sad or mad for a second, but it bothers me that it's not possible to create a bit deeper relationships, so it'd be actually possible for a villager to not like you at all, even when you talk to him or her again etc. It's just so weird how no one never hates you, even if you send them rotten fruits and whack them with a bug net all the time.

And let's make those items stack by themselves when picking up. Kay? Hitting money rocks would be so much easier. Also if fruits can stack, why can't fishes and bugs. :<

I want villagers' AI a bit more advanced. But I guess it's a bit unrealistic to expect..
Other than that, more villager slots, more hair styles. Bring back the ability to stop villager from moving when they're in boxes.
Someone above me mentioned being able to choose to be an animal instead of human, that is unlikely to happen but definitely an interesting thought.

among many other obvious things, i would like:

- cooking (food items, drink items -- and everyone would have to consume or else get hungry/thirsty/sick)
- crafting (all types of items)
- reputation system (for players)
- villagers never repeat themselves and can engage in deeper longer conversations
- merchant system (setup your own store/shop/service)
