I know it's not totally the same, but Fantasy Life just released this last week and has done a great job filling that gap! It's like if Animal Crossing was also an RPG with crafting and gathering jobs. I'm obsessed.
Still really holding out for a new AC announcement too, though 🙏🙏
I've played Fantasy Life before and while I thought it was fine, it just didn't quite grab me. It's also missing the ability to visit friends and not to fight, just to show off outfits and things you've collected and emote weirdly at each other.
I felt that way about the 3DS one too! I bounced off of it pretty quickly, maybe just a few hours in. This one has better MP at least! Emotes and outfits and 'town' building that feels eerily like ACNH lol. Admittedly not nearly as good on that front as AC, but it still got its hooks in me anyway.
I think I just don't want an RPG. I want an away from this life sim to a simple place, time wasting, item collecting, befriending game and nothing hits like Animal Crossing. 🥲
I just want to befriend cute animal neighbors and visit friends' towns/islands and emote at each other again. Maybe hear a story about a random celebrity visiting someone's town/island for turnips. 😭
