[Accidentally The...]

...Watch it never come to fruition.

I have a huge laundry list of traits I'd love to include and exclude from various entries in the series, but you all go first. This could take me a while.

(No points given for simply saying "Just remake 64 lol" or "Just don't remake STH lol". Actually, no points will be given regardless of what you say or do, but seriously. Be detailed. Don't make me use that sickle in my avatar.)

Honestly, Darth's first post conveyed exactly what I want.

I would like to see the return of a "city/mainland" area like in GBC3. That was fun, and though I doubt many people remember it, it was also the first time in the games that you could set up a stall and sell your own goods. If the marketplace is handled like the Bazaar was in Welcome to the Wind Bazaar, I'd love to see that return too.

Things I don't want to see, however...

- Characters from older games. I'm bored of them. Come up with new people and new villages.
- "Collection" plots. (ie: musical notes, bells, rainbows, etc.)
- Plot outside of "restore/save the farm/village/bazaar/etc" in general. I don't need it. I just want to micromanage the ###### out of my farm, maximize my profits, and befriend villagers. I don't need stupid, time-consuming sidequests for Harvest Moon to be entertaining. (That said, things like fishing, bug catching, cooking, and mining are great so long as you don't have to partake in them to facilitate the plot.)
- Festivals where all I get to do is sit and watch a cutscene. Snoooooooooooooooooooooooooore.
- Nobody reacting when it's your birthday. Seriously. If I get the chance to pay attention to all of the villagers' birthdays, then they better darn well pay attention to mine. If no one's going to pay attention to it, then why the helk would I bother setting it? (This is the case in a few of the later handhelds. Nobody even notices your birthday until after you get married and even then it's only your wife/husband.)
- Complicated child-rearing. No explanation is necessary. If they grow up, that's fine, but I have zero interest in taking a role in that beyond befriending my kid.
