I loved most of what I saw in the Direct. I'm curious about a couple of things though.
I'm not interested in micromanaging the villagers. Do you have to mark lots for them to move in or is that just an option? I'd rather they move in wherever and work around them.
Also, this might be a stupid question, is all of the themed furniture coming back? I know you can buy some premade stuff, but is it a limited amount of items or will all the old stuff cycle through. Or is all that stuff craftable too?
Regardless, I can't wait. I've started up a new town in Magician's Quest to kill time, but it's not the same.
