No public office (Tortimer is to cool), but a job system would be nice.I'd like to see a Job System, and the ability to run for public office!!!
Because Harvest Moon fanboy says so. Honestly I don't see it either =\ Animal Crossing is about bragging to your friends how you have a crown, or a full Museum, or all the golden items and then going to their town and chopping down all their fruit trees with your golden axe.Actually, I like Animal Crossing better. I don't think that they're trying to make it like Harvest Moon, because Harvest Moon is a farming sim. Animal Crossing isn't a farming game. The point of the game was to have a friend own it so you can visit there town and see how good it was.
I don't see how it's trying to Harvest Moon.
There is only one thing I can say here;I have an idea for Nintendo for Animal Crossing:
Stop trying to be Harvest Moon. It's a better series and there is nothing anyone could say or do to change that.
Yes! Official confirmation that they fixed that! I'm so glad we have separate houses again.Meleeruler said:If I remember correctly from the creator interview IGN had earlier today, there will be separate houses in different locations in the town. Also, the WW/CF traveling thing was revealed in this interview as well.
Well, there was a third floor last time--with the bedroom, where you save. But again, I'm pretty sure there's an exit there between the stairs, so...yeah. I agree, the basement was awesome. You can do whatever the heck you want with it without the HRA stalking you and telling you "YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!"Spire III said:That's definitely the first floor. Look to the left of the entrance - stairs are leading upwards. Unless you can get a third floor, that's definitely the first floor.
WOAH. AWESOME! That's great. I wonder (and hope) if you can still apply the design as a hat and get the classic Animal Crossing look. If so, I'm doing so.Puddin said:* The front, back and sleeves of shirts can be customized.
Haha! If I weren't so opposed to Miis, that'd be great.Seventh Sword said:Captain Falcon Mii & designable attire = Captain Falcon. In my AC:CF?
Mm...no. Not jingles, Jingle. As in the character, the reindeer who comes around on Toy Day Eve and hands out Jingle furniture.SkylerOcon said:Maybe with the Wii DLC we can get famous themes from other Nintendo games as our Jingle? Like, instead of having to spend an hour recreating Mario Brothers, we can just download it?
I agree with this, completely. It didn't necessarily ruin the game, but...it's ridiculous. Could you set aside the casuals for FIVE SECONDS so you can give us our hardcore game? Please? What are we going to do, replace the Pikmin with tiny Miis? Introduce a new Mii Pokemon? Let you play as a Mii in Sonic? (Yeah, like they could screw with that franchise any more) Have you save Princess Miich in Mario? Replace the Starfox Team members with Miis? Slipmii and Pepmii? Have all Fire Emblem characters be Miis? It's just...ARGH! Miis suck. They need to die and stop invading good franchises.Miis effing ruined this game. Wtf Nintendo? As if they haven't shoved Miis down our throats enough. This just took all uniqueness and dignity the animal crossing character ever had.
Miis didn't work in WarioWare, they didn't work in Mario Kart, and they sure as hell won't work in Animal Crossing. What's next, a Mii copy ability in the next Kirby game where you turn into your Mii? Perhaps Miitroid? Maybe an F-Zero game where you can ride on the back of your Mii instead of in a car.
Miis better stay the hell away from Smash or I'll loose all faith I ever had in Nintendo.
Yeah. Keep the Miis in the crappy casual games like Wii Music and gtfo the gamer franchises.I agree with this, completely. It didn't necessarily ruin the game, but...it's ridiculous.

Yeah. We discussed the city and decided against it, yet it was implemented. We discussed Miis and were totally against them, yet they were implemented. Then again, they get credit for (most likely) putting the basement back in, putting holidays back in, having intense online, etc.Yeah. Keep the Miis in the crappy casual games like Wii Music and gtfo the gamer franchises.
Even with the abominations in the game, I'll probably still buy it due to the replay value of Wild World.
Isn't it funny how a lot of the ideas that we deemed as bad in this thread were actually implemented into the game?
They could have made it customizable that without the need for Miis :/Mii's actually seem like the logical next step for the game. They're an already widely-implemented character creation tool, and it just makes sense to have them in there. Seriously, for a game that has always valued individualism through the creation of patterns, town jingles, and home decoration, the avatar that the player controlled always seemed out of place as computer-determined template. If the game is going to give you all of these choices as to what you can do in the game (See: Pretty much whatever you want), then why can't you choose who you play as?
True, but it was already there, built into the console. I'm not saying that it's the best way it could've been handled, but character creation definitely needed to be there.They could have made it customizable that without the need for Miis :/
Friends of Mineral Town/Back To Nature were also quality, though the 64 version is my all-time favorite. Rune Factory was also a great deal of fun, and though it had it's fair share of flaws I also enjoyed HM:DS. If you ever played Magical Melody for the Gamecube, it feels a lot like Animal Crossing. A LOT. That too was a fun title, though it strayed a bit too far from the normal Harvest Moon feel in order to be more like AC.Harvest Moon made 1 good game (64). City Folk will be AC's third.
Still, they don't have the same feel at all to me.

There practically IS character creation! You can design your outfit, down to hats, glasses, sleeves, backs of shirts, and fronts of shirts. You can change your hair if you want. The only character creation this serves as is face creation, and quite honestly, I'd rather have the Gyroid-like face from the original Animal Crossing mixed with the stung face than a Mii for a face. And I'm not exaggerating.True, but it was already there, built into the console. I'm not saying that it's the best way it could've been handled, but character creation definitely needed to be there.
But just because it's optional doesn't mean that it's not stupid. If they made a Pokemon Mii (let's just pretend for a moment) you wouldn't have to use the Pokemon, but you'd still have toMii's are OPTIONAL. You do not have to have them. Don't like em, don't use em. I like Mii's and like the fact they're included in games. They're never the best character, but it's still a nice touch. Will I use my Mii as my player? Most likely not, but I like the option is there if I want it.
It's never been about ultimate character creation, but it probably always should've been. This game is about living a different life from your own. It gives you total control over the way you dress, the way you decorate your house, the things you do while you play, the way you treat people, and yet it's almost random how your basic appearance is, which leaves you only with the option of starting over to look any different. That just doesn't make much sense to me. Miis aren't the best solution, no--but they are a solution. It means that Nintendo is listening and adapting, which is a real step forward for them.There practically IS character creation!

The game values individualism, but if the character can be any old character, then why not play something else? Animal Crossing has NEVER BEEN about total character creation. It's had it so you get a randomly picked character depending on how you answer questions since the beginning. It may be "the next logical step", but I really don't think it is. If you want ultimate character creation, play The Sims. For those of us who actually like Animal Crossing and don't like the clear-cut casual appealing in EVERY GAME NOW with the Miis, we would like ANIMAL CROSSING, not Mii Crossing.

A) Live with the fact that it exists
B) See opposing trainers have it
The same thing goes here. It's STILL invading a good franchise because they're obsessed with their friends, the casuals, and I still have to see others (possibly my friends who won't realize that this is not a good thing) using the Miis. It may seem selfish, as Spire pointed out, but it's still irksome. The fact that Miis (which are downright ugly, by the way) have become so important in a great Nintendo franchise is disturbing and annoying.
Calm down, man. I don't like the inclusion of Miis either, but they're not ruining the game. This isn't Nintendo trying to change one of their franchises to cater to casuals, because it was a casual game in the first place. Don't get me wrong, only a hardcore gamer would take the time to complete the museum and catalog, but Animal Crossing does have a lot of casual elements in it.There practically IS character creation!

I never said that they'd ruin the game, in fact I made a point of saying that I don't think they do so when Ilex said they did. Most of the game's features are really awesome, and I loved the previous two installments (albeit maybe not Wild World, but I think my love of the first one makes up for that). Is it going to detract from the gameplay experience much? No, I'll get a kick out of hitting anyone who has a Mii head. Does it irk me a lot that Nintendo added it? Yes, because I know exactly what the point of it was. It's more casual catering.Seriously, if Miis are going to ruin this game THAT much for you (that you'd be annoyed to even see them), then you have one option: Just don't play it. The rest of us can enjoy it, and have fun goofing around with the Mii system to create Animal Crossing characters that have butts for faces or that look like Spongebob or George Bush. You really don't have to, and that's fine because nobody is going to make you. It's just a shame that one single component could really ruin it all that much for you. This isn't a serious game, and this is not that serious of an issue. Have some fun with it whether you approve of the decision or not.
Again, I don't think they do ruin the game. It just annoys me that Miis were added.Calm down, man. I don't like the inclusion of Miis either, but they're not ruining the game. This isn't Nintendo trying to change one of their franchises to cater to casuals, because it was a casual game in the first place.

Just because we have Miis in it doesn't mean that the game will suck. It will annoy me, sure, but this isn't another reason for me to hate Nintendo. It really is the next logical step.
Well...I was kind of hoping they wouldn't but I actually figured they would do as I heard many wishing they would, and as you thought, just forget the Animal Crosser altogether and make Miis the characters. I suppose that they deserve a lot of credit for not doing that.Did anybody really expect Miis to not be included? I figured they'd just dump the traditional Animal Crossing character design altogether, seeing as the creator of Animal Crossing also created Miis. I've got to say though, they look absolutely ridiculous in the game compared to the normal characters. The Mii's head in the video Nintendo showed during their conference was totally out of proportion to the rest of the body.
End of discussion.Simple, pl0x:
"If you don't like Miis, don't use them. Nobody is stopping you."
This is exactly how I feel.Ya, Miis kind of annoy me just because of the reason they were put in place, but nothing game breaking.
Bah, that's ridiculous. I guess that's how it is for other systems, but $30? Bah. I guess you don't have to purchase multiples though, unless you break the first one. Maybe this is a good sign (or possibly a bad sign?). Maybe they're not including it with something because it's going to be used a lot in the future and they don't want to give it away with something. Or maybe they don't want to give it away because, just like the DS Voice Chat headset, it'll be practically useless. Hopefully it'll be the former.Update: Apparently WiiSpeak will not come packaged with Animal Crossing: City Folk. This means that if we want to have chat for Animal Crossing, we'll have to spend an extra thirty bucks.
This kinda surprised me because Nintendo's most recent peripherals come packaged with a game. I guess I shouldn't be complaining though, because that's how it is on other systems.
Nah. That's become a staple of Animal Crossing. And plus, it's integrated with the Wii's internal clock which you can change at any time, so it'd be impossible for that feature to work anyway.- untouchable clock. I mean face it, if you ever messed with it, you abused it. Even though I liked messing with it (just was on GC) i think it'd make the game better if you just couldn't. But maybe thats just me.
YES.- mini games (for fun) We won't see NES games anymore (fail) but why can't we play mini games and maybe even post high scores online? I mean we always see random basketballs, soccer balls, volleyballs and what not lying around, why not utilize them?
Nah, maybe an alien ship crashing as an event for a secret item would be cool (wasn't that in the GC verison, already?)- Supernatural Animals. An alien neighbor would be sweet.
No. Bring back the Mario sets from the original Animal Crossing.- Brawl-related furniture (Don't deny it. A smash ball floating around your room would be awesome.)
Yes.-updated songs from KK.
Was in the DS one, could shoot down Gulliver's ship.Nah, maybe an alien ship crashing as an event for a secret item would be cool (wasn't that in the GC verison, already?)
Agreed. You can't get rid of time-travelling. Not only would it be very difficult, but it would be awful. It's a staple.Nah. That's become a staple of Animal Crossing. And plus, it's integrated with the Wii's internal clock which you can change at any time, so it'd be impossible for that feature to work anyway.
Well, they were actually in AC:WW, they were just impossible to obtain.No. Bring back the Mario sets from the original Animal Crossing.
Well, I was thinking more of an "inside your house" kind of system. Or perhaps you could have a backyard in which you have the Pokemon.That would be cool (even though I know it wont happen). Having a wailord follow me around would be....weird. They would need a size limit or have it so only certain pets like eevee.
Only inside your house? How about it can go outside but not passed the brick ground on the entrence to your house.Well, I was thinking more of an "inside your house" kind of system. Or perhaps you could have a backyard in which you have the Pokemon.
In any case, I don't think size limits would be entirely necessary. From what I've seen of Everyone's Pokemon Ranch, the sizes are almost all the same, relatively small, size. Gyarados is the Pokemon that makes me think that no Pokemon is very large. The first picture on this page shows it. Gyarados is normally a lot larger than that, and if you've seen the Anime, you should really know that.
In any case, I'd be happy if it were just certain small Pokemon. As long as my beloved Shaymin can make it as well.![]()
