5 Things I don't want

1. Animals dying of old age. They should live forever!
2. Characters that stop doing anything or never did a right lot in the first place.
3. Not so special weddings. Part of getting married in HM is to see the wedding outfits.
4. Anything that could be mature rated.
5. Quick rivals that marry before you even get all your tools.

5 Things I want

1. Foxes. Lots of different foxes. arctic foxes, fennec foxes, red and grey foxes, kitsune...
2. Clothing or at least wedding outfits designed by manga artists Clamp.
3. More animal festivals. Should be more festivals to celebrate all the different animals.
4. Having the option to have twins not just 1 child.
5. Lots and lots of pets and farm house big enough for all of them.

Things I don't want:

1) Not enough/too much time in the day. Some HM games have time go too fast for me to do everything I want to do, and some drag on for so long that you get bored and end up going to bed at 5 o'clock (I'm looking at you Animal Parade) a good balance would be nice.
2) Weird unlockable tool requirements, like going to some obscure characters house on friday in the middle of a storm in order to unlock the hammer.
3) Characters repeating the same thing over and over.
4) Insane fast growing weeds. Damn things keep popping up a day or so after I clear them! :angry:
5) Useless spouse/children. They should help out on the farm, or at least make you lunch like they do in Rune Factory/Sunshine Islands.

Things I want:
1) Rival weddings/children. I like matchmaking and having rival kids around, Animal Parade is one of my favourite games because of this.
2) More than one child, also the child looking more like your spouse instead of a mini version of you. AP did it! :P
3) Wedding outfits. I enjoy seeing characters all dressed up for their special day. It just seems lazy not to include them, like my character doesn't even care he/she is tying the knot.
4) More unique festivals! Like the bare handed fishing contest or the snow festival in Tale of Two Towns.
5) A customisable character, maybe being able to change your hair and eye colour, something like that. Include more outfits in that too!

AngelFox, your post about wanting more foxes made me laugh :yay:

I take it you don't like weeds or at least how fast they regrow? :yesh:

But foxes improve quality of games. :poplove:

Please don't get me started on weeds. What annoyed me most was them appearing exactly where I wanted to plant my seeds, in an area I had just cleared out. It's like they were taunting me. I enjoy the winter season because more often than not it clears your field in time for the spring season :squee:

I can't think of too many games with foxes in them... Starfox, The Sonic games. Oh, and that fox from Persona 4 that lived by the shrine and charged you money to heal your party. What does a fox need money for anyway? There's probably alot more but my mind is blanking.
It would be nice to have a fox as a pet in HM. It could live on your farm and scare those evil wild dogs away. :3

I never foudn weeds to be that bad but then again I generally don't grow a lot of crops. Mostly grass for all my animals or trees.

Maybe not fox fox but there are a lot of foxlike creatures in games. In particular RPGs. That could be because of the sheer volume of monsters, summons etc. I was disappointed the Ash Fox in Xenoblade wasn't fully modelled. Don't forget Keaton in Zelda series and Carbuncle can appear foxlike in some FF games. Not to forget Corrine in Tales of Symphonia.

Crops are my main source of income until winter rolls around and I start to focus on my animals and mining for money, so I guess that's why it bothers me so much. It takes a while to clear them too if you don't have the highest level sickle :(

I forgot about Corrine and Keaton. I loved wearing that mask everywhere in Ocarina of Time, mainly for the random comments you get off various villagers.

Clearing the entire field is a pain. Specially in some HM games where the field is a mess at beginning of Spring even if it was cleared the day before. It can take the entire 1st year to fully clear the field only for 1st Spring to come and you have to do it all over again.

This has given me an idea... Maybe they should include some sort of weed killer you can use on your entire field. It prevents weeds and other wild plants from growing. To balance it out if you don't use it or other fertilises on your field you get organic crop instead of normal one. They sells for a bit more. Would have to consider if it's worth taking a chance on getting high quality organic crops or go for the safer option.

Keaton is a fun mask to wear. I feel ashamed I forgot the Muramasa foxes. I think I saw a fox artwork for older HM game and I think I remember finding one as well.

You need to write to Marvelous with that idea. I would love some kind of weed killer. It's not that I'm lazy but it does get tedious clearing a field by hand over and over.

I forgot about Muramasa too, probably because I haven't played it for a while. There are foxes in Tale of Two Towns, I've seen them and they're quite cute. I don't know if they actually do anything or if they're just there for show.

I suppose Ninetails from Okami counts too. Also there's Crazy Redd from Animal Crossing. I despised him, selling me forgeries all the time when I was trying to complete my gallery.

I didn't think you were lazy. Having to pull out weeds all the time will get boring.

Haven't seen ones in Tale of Tow Towns yet. Will have to look and see if I can find pictures of them. It's disappointing the 3DS version might not release here though.

Okami has normal foxes too but that reminds me of Pokemon. Vulpix, Nintetails, Eevee+ it's evolutions and the two new ones in B&W.

Yes I know Red. Annoying that he sells you really expensive stuff that's not wrote a right lot. At the same time he gets certain rare items so you have to visit him.

Ha, I didn't think you thought I was lazy, sorry if it came across that way. :3

I don't play much Pokemon, I could never really get into it. I love Dragon Quest Monster Jokers though, which is weird because they're basically the same thing.

http://www.fogu.com/hmforum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=126396 Scroll down to the bottom of the first post and you'll see the sprites for the foxes. I'm not sure if you can befriend them or not, it would be nice if you could.
