They JUST wrapped up a treehouse live segment, Interesting details:
-Genders are back
-You are apparently found by a Nuzleaf
-Your Partner meets you later outside his home
-Village has a name, Serene Village
-Your Partner is OBSESSED with Exploration. Like, really badly.
-Your Partner has a dad. Carracoasta.
-First mission is saving goomy
-Later on you and your partner go to a lava area, where there seems to be a Drilbur guarding something underneath. Will my "Protect the fire village" theory be realized?
-Tiny Reviver Seeds are new
-Hunger is in the main story
Nothing mindblowing, still a Holiday 2015 release for the west but I'm still super excited!
