Topic: What’s next for Animal Crossing?

My view on the series seems to be different than the direction it's actually heading in - don't do multiplayer, don't care for the social media-worthy designs.
I'd love it if the series went back to something more organic. Ditch the grid based areas or find a way to make it look more natural. Maybe it has hard, 90 degree angle cliffs but they erode and look better over time? We can get ramps back, etc. I thought the Main Street in New Leaf was a great concept and was sad to see it go.

Maybe we could have multiple options for Main Street layouts - one like New Leaf, one like the City from the Wii, and a few others to cover themes like cute, rustic, etc. That way we could develop that separately. If we don't want a hundred shops in town we could have it there, if not there's space for parks/gardens.

Visually I'm quite happy with the new horizons, if they want to keep this style and recycle furniture/clothes that would be fine. But they would need to make more and bring back all of the old furniture series.
I don't know! There's too many options, none will probably happen

The next entry in the series should take all the past games ideas and put them all together to make a big animal crossing world.

Be the mayor of a town! Live your tropical life out on an island! Move to the city and live in an apartment complex!

The player could live wherever they want to without restrictions (including an isolated home) , and with online play, the mayor of a city could see other player villagers roaming around the place in real time!

Jobs could also be a big focus in animal crossing with the player being a farmer, dog walker, or home decorator if they wanted (aka: happy home paradise).

Adding more real life elements like being able to always move out or have some villagers dislike you could be great for the series.

Yeah, if the game goes full 3D or fully open world, I’m done. The series is already on its last legs for me with New Horizons, and if they push it further away from the original identity, I don’t think I’ll like it anymore.

Animal Crossing is become better when going full 3D Open World / Free Roaming style + closer to The Sims style.
We don't need the antics from GameCube version anymore.
We don't need limitations, the villager moving out by themselves, forced to play everyday.
That's not a charm, that's a torture.
If you still want to torture yourself with that antics, play the GameCube version but I want the next Animal Crossing give me freedom to not play the game as long as I want and I still keep everything when I return.
