although i'd love to have back quests and talent levels, i think it would be nicer to have back the "actual" ph- little things like having the right shops in the right meadows, the ingredient system working and having past outfit collections sold instead of random clothes :')
I would love there to be facial expressions.
Wilderness and mini games :O
Primarily, I would love for my ingredients to be used as currency once again so they're not just stockpiling. (Sorry all you fairies who love to get everything for free! I like the challenge!)
Then I agree with what's stated above, wilderness, crafting etc.
But we have to stay patient; slow and steady with lots of gratitude!
