So, now that I've finally seen the trailer...
- I'm fairly neutral about the theme/gameplay options. I was not particularly yearning for something like this, but I know others were, so I'm happy for them. I'll likely dabble in the gameplay, but it's not something I see myself using often. Still, I think it's great for them to expand their horizons with new themes if this is not in fact the last pack when there are still a few really basic/widely desired things that are missing. If it is, I am going to hold a grudge, and that will impact my future plans with EA. *Mind you, I am not holding this against the devs, as I know they are always bubbling over with creative ideas, and seemed to have lots of future plans on the back burner, so I suspect it would be disappointing for them, too.*
- It's still unclear how exactly the legacy system will work across other worlds, so I am curious about that. For example, I do have a Japanese-style palace that I downloaded from the gallery that I've been using as a museum in the top/snowy neighborhood of Mt. K, so I might have consider converting it to an active royal palace.
- The new world looks absolutely gorgeous, though I fear the neighborhoods will be small. I always love an oceanfront world, though, and I'm assuming at this point they know they need to give us swimmable water and an opportunity to at least use the existing boats.
- On a related note, I am happy to finally see more African representation, and what we've seen so far looks really good. I do still think it's a little shady that instead of a full world, there is only a neighborhood.
- I'm in love with the jewelry/crowns/hairstyles, and some of the clothes look really nice, too.
- I can see myself using the swordplay system for other purposes as well. Would be nice if we could have an afterschool fencing club, but I suspect that will be skipped, as there have been several opportunities that have been missed with other packs to expand the school club system. But, at least I can use the Get Together club system, and now Adventure Awaits to set up a fencing camp as well.
- I'm not holding my breath, but there's always a slim chance they could sneak in a few other small skills we've requested forever, like ballet or glassblowing, as they would be a good thematic fit, in my opinion. Again, I highly doubt it, but it would be nice.
- I'm curious to see what new recipes we get. Also, as always, I am wishing for new harvestables, though I know better than to get my hopes up.
- I don't want to get over my skis until we see the number of lots, but I can easily imagine that this world will need a vineyard/wine shop, a jewelry store (complete with crowns), riding stables, and a royal provisioner.
