So this being my first AC, should I play without a guide? Are there things you can permanently miss?

You should be fine without a guide.

I don't think there is anything like that in Animal Crossing. Maybe holiday related things...?

Besides seasonal DLC, nope! Everything like holidays will roll around again the next year.
(also DLC is free, it's just seasonal and if you do miss it (can't really but if) you can trade with someone for it)
 
btw, just a suggestion but I think it'd be cool if the OT had a friendcode section along with schedules of sorts. Like having a couple days a week where at a certain hour there's a meetup to go to the island, etc (assuming you can play with more than just another person through wifi)

You can play with up to 4 players, including yourself. I'm not sure if the section would that useful though considering how many players we may have coupled with a limit of 4.
There's a cool Dream Suite feature which allows you to visit ghost versions of people's towns without actually adding them on your 3DS... it's pretty cool. There will probably be a section for that in the OT.

If anything, I would say it's more enjoyable without any kind of a guide. Much of my enjoyment with the Animal Crossing games in the past was discovering everything on my own or with friends. IF you play the game most days, you're unlikely to miss any holidays. The game makes it quite obvious on the day and even tells you beforehand sometimes.

Unfortunately for myself, it's far too late. I've already spoiled everything new because of the Japanese version.
CURSE YOU NINTENDO FOR THE DELAY HERE :(

I guess we can discuss it in the OT and edit it in later if there's interest. I know we'll have more than 4 people (lol) but we can make multiple trips, im just saying cause getting a hold of one another at the right time might be hard so better to set certain dates and times.

True, true. Well, if any dates/times are agreed upon, I'd be happy to add them in.
 
Looking forward to all the big changes. I named my City Folk town Oceania after accidentally discovering the region on the Wii Forecast Channel. Now I'm planning on naming my New Leaf town after an Oceanic town or island.
 
you guys not on my friend list are missing out on my totally rad skillz

I've just got some guy talking about blossoms growing which is great but... the doodles man, the doodles!! I'll put my FC up here later, guess we'll all be swapping them at some point anyway.
 
Can't wait til this game comes out! I've been burnt out on Fire Emblem so I've stopped playing, but I can't get it off my mind. I feel the need to start again to make a better team. I really need a time killer and AC's the game to do it.
 
I changed my avatar to support this game and THIS THREAD. <3

Huge fan of Rosie. Just bubbling energy of sheer happiness and cuteness.

AC:WW had stole a year and half from my life. It was glorious! <3
 
True, true. Well, if any dates/times are agreed upon, I'd be happy to add them in.

Even if dates are not agreed upon there still should definitely be a Friend Code list on a spreadsheet or something in the OP. Maybe someone could make one now *wink wink*.
And I think I'm gonna join this whole AC avatar thing, they're all so cute <3.
 
Oh crap, I already ordered this from Tesco for £25. GAME are selling it with the figurines for £30, and I have £5 of reward points. Too bad Tesco already charged my card. Ugh.

How did you get it for £25 on Tesco, a special code?

Still in two minds to go digital or retail.

The Game bonus looks a bit crummy and while more money in the end the Nendo is 1000% better looking.


EDIT: Oooh Animal Crossing panel pieces in Streetpass Plaza.
 
I'm adding everyone else :P

Speaking of which it kinda bums me that I can't "advance" a purchase in eShop.
 
First Animal Crossing game since the one on Gamecube, heck yeah. Hopefully it'll be even more awesome with plenty of new stuffs since I missed the last two.
 
Although the Japanese commercials were cute, I couldn't be tempted enough! The original just wasted too much of my time and it made me feel guilty! Didn't want to spend more time on games that felt too similar. A decade absence is long enough now. :D
 
I'll be hitting up the eShop at midnight of the 13th, then taking the 14th off work. Hoo yeah!

Also, just noticed this! On this page:

..click on KK Slider. :)

Whoa! Nintendo <3333

Also, does anyone know if your region affects the game's events/seasons? I say this because I think I had read somewhere that if your 3DS' region is set to any country in the Southern Hemisphere then you'd get the corresponding seasons to it, but I can't seem to find any information regarding that so I'm starting to believe I made it up in my mind.

Did City Folk do it?
 
Hey guys,

I added everyone on this page. Can you please add me too?
I'm planning to download the game at midnight too. :)

Hey, guys, added everyone in the thread! Here's mine:

Not sure if getting game on midnight or day of/before day of. It just depends when Amazon ships it.

Animal Crossing: the only game that emphasizes customization and STILL won't let make me use dark skin.

That said, I'll get it day one.[/QUOTE]
I know it's not really what you wanted, but if you stay out in the sun long enough, you can get a tan and eventually dark skin! This pic I found is, like, next to last darkness:

Also, what is she saying in that gif? I'm horrible at reading lips!
 
You could always get tans. Thankfully the tan is actually dark now, so I'm cool. Is the tan easy to get off because I hope not. I want that tan forevah.

Oh, jeez, sorry I didn't know that. Always played the GC and Wii versions in the evening.
From what I've seen, the tans keep for a while as long as you stay in the sun/play the game. One of the people who got a review copy got a tan the first or second day and still has it.
 
Preordered the 3DS XL bundle for the fiancee's birthday, going to get the game on eShop when it comes out. Still dunno what to name my city, though. Anyway, in prep, friend code is 2836 0092 6231. I will add if you add too.
 
The Mii is just really a mask though and I think stops you using all the cool accessory stuff too.

Correct! If you use a Mii mask, you lose access to hats, ribbons, glasses and masks. If you do change the Mii's appearance in the maker, the mask will reflect the changes though!

i know too much about this game i am so sorry
 
It's funny, Pokemon finally has selectable skin colour and it's being shown off already, as if it's not something that should naturally be there.
 
if one of the townpeople leave your city, can he come back later ?

This is something I actually don't know.
I would think if you kept writing them letters and possibly visited their new town and pestered them they would.
But, it's incredibly easy to keep an animal from leaving this time. They'll tell you in advance, and you have until the date they set to coheres them not to leave.

Pokemon has selectable skin color now?!
