Oh, right. My bad. I'll go cry in a corner because I now have 3500 furniture items instead of the usual 4000 and there's absolutely no way they could add more in the future.

Crafting and customization as well as Qol changes are features. What has that to do with content?
Features are also content. It takes time, it takes work and it adds to the game. It's definitely content.
Very different games, Animal Crossing is more along the lines of a much mellower, real time Harvest Moon
I mean if you look at a list of the datamine yeah you'll see there's less "content" than in previous games, but you'll probably won't even have the time to notice it in game before the updates start to add more stuff...
And just comparing content by number of stuff is dumb and ignoring how development actually works.
But if you think that adding whole new mechanics such as terraforming and crafting isn't worth losing a few items that you'll get in one month, then I don't know what to say anymore.

It's a shame because it's just 2 or 3 people, but yeah they're unreasonable and it's getting ridiculous.
Yeah I get what you mean, and I would almost half agree, kinda, but then I think about that you get used to the new way of playing so fast that after a few hours, it looses your definition of "content" again completely. Crafting tools and having Qol changes and easier ways of decorating as example are fantastic, but it doesn't add anything content wise to the game after doing these things twice or so.
In case of tools it even gets annoying that everything can break now, without showing you when and then you have to craft a shit tool before you can craft the good tool with that, every single time.
But Nintendo will certainly add those 500 furniture in DLC for only 9,99€ for 100 furniture 😀
So, some fruit types are gone. Nintendo themed furniture, paintings, Gyroids and swimming
TBH thats insignificant compared to the gameplay things they've added. And also I wouldnt be surprised if swimming and paintings come in a later update. And Nintendo stuff could be released in tandem with actual game releases or something. All in all we gained so much more than we lost

Neither does having 20 extra chairs, but some people are arguing that's terrible and awful.
If you believe that one youtuber who leaked uchi and jock villagers are the starting type villagers, she also said that swimming is already coded in the game but that swimsuits might not be there at launch.
It'll obviously be a fun summer update.
None of this is surprising.
While this is something the game has in common with gacha games, I don't think it's fair to describe them as treating AC like a gacha game.
I think it's more GaaS than gacha. Keep updating the game constantly, adding new content so people don't get bored. But I seriously doubt they'll resort to gacha mechanics. They already have Pocket Camp for that.
I mean, in terms of content, it's exactly what gacha games do. Would games as a service be more applicable? I don't mean they'll add a slot machine. I'm only talking about it from a content perspective.
Looks like Nintendo is pushing out a pre-release patch tomorrow, so there should be a little more than what's been mined already:

“[Announcement] The Ver 1.1.0 update for #AnimalCrossing: New Horizons will be available ahead of launch, starting at 6pm PT, 3/18. Customers who have preloaded the game after purchasing from Nintendo eShop will be able to download the update data at this time. #ACNH”

I see what you are trying to say but I disagree with the term gacha. Gacha mean my wallet cries for this content. What I see is the potential for Nintendo to sort of turn this into a game we can keep coming back to such as a GaaS.
I mean, this game costs money.
But no, for content, gacha games do not charge money.
One review said you can catch about 30 fish with a fishing pole before it breaks. It makes me curious though, would the plastic fishing pole break as well or is it only the basic wooden one? Can we make stronger ones? Are gold items back in? I'm guessing they won't break at all.
This is not a gacha game. Get out of here with this ridiculous behavior.
Am I the only one glad that the Nintendo items are gone?
That shit took way too much space, I had a literal room dedicated to just hoarding that stuff and with the extremely limited inventory you got it was a fool's endeavor to try to get them all.

People see random drops and then it's all gacha like they're asking for the deed of your house in exchange.
Yeah except there's no gacha mechanics in it. I get what you're saying though.
Being forced to collect materials to build items is not a feature I would say even remotely makes up for some of my favorite characters or furniture being missing. I could also edit my town layout with a save editor in New Leaf. I know not everybody had access to save editors but even if I hadn't already been able to do it New Leaf with save editors, it's not a feature I care enough about. All I did in New Leaf was put a moat around my house. The only new thing I particularly care about is putting furniture outside but again, I still don't think it's enough to make up for some of my favorite characters or furniture being missing.
Holy shit guys.
I WAS ONLY COMPARING GACHA GAMES AND HOW THEY DISTRIBUTE CONTENT. NOT THE ACTUAL GACHA MECHANICS.
This forum gets SO UPSET when you bring up gacha games in any way. I play a lot of gacha games. I do not play a lot of the more general "games as a service" games. So this is my point of reference.
Good lord. I was interested in this game but responses like "get out" are making me think otherwise. Jesus Christ. I'll just go back to my threads and you all can enjoy this game in peace without someone bringing up a forbidden naughty word.

Questioning you is not "getting upset," though that one response was somewhat rude.
Harvest Moons primary gameplay loop is managing a farm. Something that is totally absent from Animal Crossing.
Animal Crossing is entirely it's own thing and any passing similarities between the two games is superficial at best.
It depends on how you're usually playing Animal Crossing to be fair.
If you manage your place like a capitalist farm it can have some striking similarities with Harvest moon but it's really more telling about the player than about the game.
If you get angry about Animal Crossing, you're betraying the spirit of Animal Crossing and should be barred from purchasing it.
(To be clear, I obviously don't mean you).
Ok. Well there are a lot of assumptions going on here. lol
Even Gamefreak gave us gigantimax froggy chair, no froggy chair at all is completely unacceptable
Gold items seems to be in and you can make stronger items, but GameXplain said they aren't really that much better and when it breaks you have to craft the weak one again before you can craft the strong one with materials and the weak one.
Ok, if that one's real, that's pretty rough. New Leaf had tons of cool events.
Yep, any time traveler will have a horrible time having to play the events with everyone else.
If that's how you played the game I can understand not being happy but it was always something clearly outside of what AC was about anyway.
