>>28510874RF3 and RF4 are amazing, and the two console titles are pretty good, but HM/SoS hasn't been good past DS and Fantasy Life is just garbage. As shallow as AC is I would happily play that any day over Fantasy Life.
Even then what people like about AC isn't captured in those games, the sheer amount of potential customization of your town and since WW being able to show it off to other players. I wish AC would stop letting its focus on the customization aspect hold it back and do more to make the world be more variable in itself and feel more alive like I hoped they would after the first game, but they never did.
