>it wasn't a female-focused series, but it became one

basically this. i didn't realize until acnh. i have bought the game in 3 different occasions and i couldnt start playing it until 2025, 5 years later. because it didn't feel like an animal crossing game. luckily, i could built the game in a way that it feels like an AC but still feels too sassy. new leaf also has this girly aesthetic that kind of ruins the whole mood though i have to say its mechanics are great
