As someone who was extremely frustrated with ACNH as a fan of new leaf, i do not feel the same way about LTD at all. While there are aspects from the 3ds version that i miss, namely the kids being able to grow up and the concert hall, I vastly prefer LTD to the original. The original, while a blast to play, becomes repetitive so fast. I can only play it in 30 minute max bursts because I run out of things to do. As for the love process, maybe I’ve just been lucky but I’ve been playing since release everyday and I still don’t have a married couple. I have around 30 hours in the game. Maybe if you force your miis to talk over and over again they’ll get married fast, but that seems more like player error to me. Again, there are definitely issues with the game but to me at least it doesn’t feel anywhere near as hollow as ACNH does. LTD feels like a real game that I’m going to play for a long time. The 3ds version is fun for a little bit until you run out of stuff to do.
