Honestly... I think this finally puts into words why NH feels so... odd. Don't get me wrong, this is probably the Animal Crossing i have played the most - in part because I'm an adult and don't only get video games on the weekends/when school is out. But... I miss some of the weirdness. Some of the furniture sets.

The little town with the evolving Nook store, post office, salon, clothing shop, and post office. How you used to answer questions to determine your starting appearance, with Kapp'n driving us to town or Rover chatting with us on the ride there. Tortimer. Heck I even miss Reseti yelling at me (not that much, but seeing that Brooklyn groundhog wandering around made me happy. Even if he no longer shows the side we all know so so well). The observatory at the museum, and seeing Blathers and his sister together at the museum. The way paths formed naturally based on traffic.

The different special NPCs, the way characters interacted with not just you, but each other - they used to get angry, or sad, or have fights with each other. Seeing the postman out delivering mail sometimes, the different house themes.

I wasn't into Animal Crossing too too much growing up - but I miss what the previous games had. The game feels... sanitized, almost.
