I think the villagers feel kind of.... bland.
I've got 3 peppys. Hearing about Maglev Mike taking the relationship off the rails is driving me *insane*.
Haha! Same lol
"I got the idea for this recipe while watching Maglevs in Love. It's about two trains in love... well, one of them. But it doesn't matter if Maglev Mike took their relationship off the rails, because... I'm building a thing!"
@~Canapé Kitten~ Thank goodness I'm not the only one who knows it by heart!
Omg same!
having just *one* jock nearly drives me insane, i cant imagine having more than one at a time. i used to like the jocks, i thought they were pretty funny, but in this game they L I T E R A L L Y only talk about working out, or their muscles, ever, that's it. NOTHING else
i have dom and i love him to death, he's super cute, but i'm so bummed out that he's only in this game with the worst written version of the jock personality (i guess there's pocket camp too but...eh)
The best interaction I've had with my villagers was when Apple asked me to do a treasure hunt with her, and that was super fun and unexpected
Yes! Treasure hunts are great fun. Especially challenging if you’ve not dug your fossils up yet too..
When I first started the game, my sisterly asked me to do a treasure hunt twice, and my lazy asked me once. Haven’t been asked to do one in several months.
Those are very rare and one time Lucky told me to do a Treasure Hunt with me his gift was his Photo. I felt so happy.
@@roaldmcdoald They're actually less likely to do that stuff at higher friendship levels, it's really annoying. Now they only treat me like a walking vending machine.
I’ve been playing since launch and not ONCE has a villager engaged in a treasure hunt with me. Why is it so rare... 😭
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I actually miss when a villager would ask me for a piece of fruit while standing right next to a fruit tree in new leaf
AGREED
Yes!!
yea
same bro
Sqme
Not a mechanic I miss, but a related thing that makes me insane:
I cannot stand it when I forget that I talked to a villager earlier (sometimes many many hours earlier) and I make the mistake of talking to them again and they give me that snarky, passive aggressive "Wow nothing better to do today huh?" or "Seeing you a lot today.." type of response. Oh, sorry your highness, sorry I forgot I can't talk to my animal friends in the animal friend game more than twice a day without the 'tude. I'll give you your gift tomorrow, then.
edit: "This was in every game" I dont care. Also maybe I'm misremembering but I don't remember getting the passive aggressive remarks after merely talking twice. Ive long since given up trying to see fun new dialogue lol
I hate when they talk like that. Its like when you're trying to get a unique dialogue and you keep getting the same repetitive topics and then they start to get annoyed with you and not want to talk to you anymore.
I've literally never had that response, is that from a certain personality type? Though to be fair i usually only talk to my villagers once or twice and then forget they exist..
Luci M nah it happens to all villagers if you talk to them three or more times
@@lucim343 It doesn't matter what personality you have they all have the same problem and it gets worse if you have like the same personality type that they will all repeat the same conversations as each other.
I once was gone for like two weeks which is like an eternity for them. Then I talked to Diva and she said she missed me and was worried. Then I talked to her again to get a speech bubble option and she was already snarky and annoyed... Bruh
Another thing that bothers me is when you find a lost item in NH, they just straight up tell you who it belongs to. In New Leaf, you’d go on a wild goose chase trying to find who the item belongs to.
I agree! I miss the wild goose chase, haha.
Yeah, and while you can check the item to take a guess, it's based on their personality, so having multiple of the same personality is a coin toss
@@crimsoninsight97 there is actually a slight difference in villagers of the same personality, so when I get a book while I have two normal villagers I can check the book, it says “romance” I know to run to Tia instead of Skye
Lately I actually have noticed there’s a lot more dialogue in the game and I appreciate it so much. But I do also wish there would be more interactive things like treasure hunts, tasks, or adding back the hide and seek mechanic. I wanna have closer interactions with my villagers.
But Im still so thankful Nintendo gave us more dialogue, I’m tired of hearing about Goldie’s book club and Cookie telling me three things. One, I’m fab. two, she means it. and three, there is no three.
They have treasure hunts already, but I think the reason why there is no hide-and-seek is because some players might have areas on their island where it's quite hard to get to, and a villager to hide there would cause some trouble.
or how audie has played single player hide and seek for the 576489 time
If you look at the datamine dialogue exports, there has been no new dialogue. You're just paying more attention than usual
I played for a while in July after not touching it since May last year, and I was surprised they actually talked about other things than me hitting rocks for once!! Haven't gotten any of the interactive stuff yet though
I love the treasure hunts! They just ask at the most inconvenient times, like when I'm just about to close the game because I'm too tired to keep my eyes open, lol!
I need the megaphone back so I can actually find villagers instead of wandering around for 30 minutes only for them to be in the museum
You know, despite you and every villager on the island having a phone, it sure is weird that we can't text them to see where they are... And that would solve the issue of not being able to yell into the microphone due to the lack of a mic on the Switch.🤔
How did you get those emojis wtf? Is my android just freestyle interpreting them or something??
@@darowchdawg they’re the member emojis!
I didn't even know people actually went into the museum, My I spend forever looking for my villagers and I check everywhere but the Museum, I even check the plaza.
Most of my villagers ask if I want to take a hike around the island with them, and I really wish I could actually do that. Just have a villager follow behind you for a while until they were tired or you told them to stop.
Even in Pocket Camp when you have a caretaker they’ll follow you around and give special dialogue. You can take pictures and even dance with them. What the heck.
That would be so cute!!
... but also annoying when you're trying to build stuff 😅😅
Also miss when you could be invited to a villagers house (with them getting upset with you if you miss their appointment) or when your best friend villager would randomly ask to come in and enjoy your main room.
at the beginning of the game my villagers would always say they wanted to hang out, so i would try everything to get them to visit my house. letters, bulletin board, etc. was very sad when i realized they can’t do that.
i wish when my peppy asked to play volleyball with me we could actually play it together.
I reall miss our villagers having emotions after talking to another neighbour. I loathe the fact, that every conversation ends in a neutral or happy sentiment. In earlier games they wouls get angry, or sing, or sad and the funniest thing was when one got sad and the other happy. Where are our fights? Why do they even have different levels of 'getting along' if it doesn't do anything?
Also grumpy villagers aren't grumpy anymore, they're just "old"
They do... 'fight' I guess. I've had villagers get upset after having conversations with other villagers. But I def agree the grumpy villagers just being old thing is very annoying. You can be a grumpy child or a moody teen! Lol
I miss when Resetti would steal your entire face for not saving.
Ayo wtf?! That sounds like a creppypasta. When would that happen?
@@Mateo-tv9du if I remember right it was a glitch on the gamecube
They’re basically there for aesthetic and for what we USED to like them for in previous ac games.
wait that's so true! i got Filbert's amiibo bcz I loved him in past games, but I realized I haven't spoken to him in a month now.
@@jadesgay444 Same for me with Chrissy! Totally get it!!
i’ve had tipper in my new leaf town for six years and when she asked to move out of my new horizons island i didn’t even care cause her personality is lost
@@LovelyLiefie I agree! Chrissy is my favorite villager, but I feel like all the preppy villagers keep having the same dialogue now.
the cutest villager interaction I've seen was Zucker asking if he turned into a butterfly would Margie let him stay inside with her during the winter, it was so adorable
Some of my favorite villager interactions are the Sisterly & Cranky ones. Like slinging insults at each other so often they made a little girl (somewhere?) cry, or when the cranky will say they have no idea how to ge the film out of the phone camera and the sisterly says shell help them open their phone with a rock🤣
Also 1 interaction with Bubbles and jock villagers (since her indoor theme is about sports) about her muscles.
zucker is so adorable
I think everything about new horizons is well… just so painfully passive? I miss when my villagers would brutally insult me and rudely gossip about my neighboring villagers, which is incredibly lacking in this new addition. Of course it might not appeal to younger audiences AS much, but it would add so much more depth to the game and I think young me would have enjoyed the snarky quirks about the characters a little more than what we have now :)
Young me wasn't bothered by it on gamecube so I don't think kids would react that badly
I think parents are the ones who would have a huge negative reaction. This generation of parents are VERY overprotective and will not hesitate to express their anger online. But the true Animal Crossing fans would love it. Sadly, Nintendo just care about sales and have let the true fans down mamy times before..
Right like when I was younger they would call me a tree shaker to my sister on the Wii
In wild world they call me "lonely loser" hahaha i love it 😍
@AndrewWithEase11 11 I agree with the point you’re making; that was the point of my original comment, the negativity is unnecessary though!
Even though I haven’t played any of the other games, it still feels wrong on how little interaction they have
Yeah, based on what kora says it seems empty
I played New Leaf, and I think that the villagers were less repetitive in it.
Same, I’ve never played other animal crossing games, only new horizons. However, there have been speculations of little bits of dialogue that Nintendo has been adding between this update and the one from months ago. And actually, I’ve seen my villagers say different stuff now, which is an improvement, maybe???
The whole game itself feels empty and it feels like its stuck in the past where it hasn't even changed or evolved over time. You look at New Leaf and that game was able to do it right.
There's literally NO excuse for the villagers to be so 2D in New Horizons. They do not match the current expectations for video games. Programming has come far enough that EVERY villager should have unique dialogue (yes, all 397 of them) and the dialogue should change as you become better friends with them. Villagers should have lasting mood effects too. It's so strange that you can hit a villager with a net until they get angry and then 3 dialogue boxes later and they're back to "hey! I like your outfit! It's such a nice day out!" (and that's from the apparent "cranky" villagers). Nintendo 100% has the funds and the man-power to make that happen, I'm tired of fans making excuses for them.
I wish that they could atleast add dialogue that is affected by personality and species for example a peppy cat may say something different than a peppy penguin and etc
And I really want my villagers to visit my house again like they did in new leaf
YAS!!!! THIS!!!!
Yeah, they never come into the house and only properly invite you in theirs on your birthday otherwise you just walk in by your self
@@abbie151 I remember when villagers asked to go to your home back in new leaf, I remember starting out with molly tooo.
@@Fnfsoftstan Yup
Your second wish has been granted! Just wait till November 5th.
In Wild World, we were able to give responses to some of the dialogue, and their mood changed depending on our response (some even gifted furniture/clothing as rewards!)…it spiced things up, you know?
Agreed
It would be cool if they had personalities more like the stardew valley townsfolk, as you have to talk to them and give them gifts to get more interesting interactions from them in that game.
I get what you're saying but imagine working for this game and having to do 397 different personalities
@@vqstxr there's only 8 personalities
Ye but if it was like stardew
Idea grumpy blue chicken named Shane
@@levionthedragon4654 YES
For my villagers.. I had to kinda "force" a personality onto them.. I have a total of 3 lazy villagers (my favorite type) where they're just the exact same character but with a different model on them.. It's Weber, Alfonso & Bob..
Weber i've made into a bug lover. His house is very "Earth" coloured and he has a dirt floor so i thought "Hey why not?" So he has a buch of bug & Nature stuff.
Alfonso has a very colourful house inside and outside, so i made him the toy kid. He has a buch of toys everywhere.
Bob i haven't really come up with anything as he doesn't really fit anything i can come up with..
But stuff like that i would have love to see in the game. The villagers actually have an interest. Let's say like 15-20 different hobbies within every personality type.. Then every villager get's one interest/hobby instead of EVERY lazy villager liking snacks and bugs.
@@madisontucker649 true but it doesn't mean much. It just kinda dictates how much they look at flowers or do zoomies.
I think it'd be cool if they'd ask to borrow certain items in our inventory & we could watch them interact with it. Then they could mail it back after a few days or whatever.
@AndrewWithEase11 11 the actual fuck.. Reported.
for me ozzie fits webers perfectly and bob has alfonso’s home
@AndrewWithEase11 11 I'm great! How's your day?
@AndrewWithEase11 11 bruh you're fr fighting people in an animal crossing video comment section?
I actually miss going round asking people if they need help in the older games
You still can, just keep talking to them and they ask you to do something sometimes
@@bitcoin00008 Not the same thing
Sherb became self aware the other day - said that we were on a game, how the trees grew fruit too quick and how there was always music. Then proceeded to smack talk Tom Nook.
I'm ngl it freaked me out irl. He ended it with it just being a dream... but im keeping an eye on him lol
Unfortunately I've seen that exact convo by Sherb so many times.... and I don't even have him on my island. 😅😅
I'm pretty sure that's something exclusive to lazy villagers, like if you talk to them frequently you'll eventually unlock that dialogue. But it's still pretty cool tho, I'd love to see more 4th wall breaks in the game. Like if you time travel a lot and talk to one of your villagers, they can say something like "is it just me or is time going by faster?" Or something like that.
sans villager
We need more personalities! Also Resetti.
No no no that thing is terrifying
Resetti is already in the game
@@mayankkumar4161 appearing in off screen dialog and in online error screens is kind of boring
if it weren't for Resetti I wouldn't know Animal Crossing.
I can see it now "Resett's gem mine" where you can get decorative rocks and crystals and sometimes gold and iron
Considering we get a massive list of play testers every time we have a song from K.K. - it blows my mind that they signed off the “you would like a new villager” mechanic that goes with the campsite, it’s so repetitive, random, time consuming and utterly boring that I skip campsites entirely. Especially as you lose a random villager that you might like unless you go through it all again and again and again.
Ugh don't remind me. That stupid card mini game is so damn luck based. This is why I ended up buying Amiibo cards because at least when you finally invite them on the 3rd day and giving them their 3rd crafted item then they will move in, but you decide who to pick out to move out.
I used the campsite to cheese my final villager. I had a specific one in mind that I wanted to spawn and a specific villager I wanted to kick out. It's so painfully annoying and tedious to get the rng correct (to spawn the villager, to keep talking to them to get a move in option, win the stupid card game, AND get the correct villager to move out). It took 7 hours to get it all correct.... The amount of times I had to read about the their dad used to reheat over a campfire to then immediately saying they've never been camping or hate camping....By then end I honestly kind of hate the villager.
@@NinjaKittkatt UGH don't get me started on that STUPID CARD GAME!!!! It's literally luck based & pointless. If we're that far into a conversation with a camper, chances are, we're trying to get them on the island.
There is absolutely no need to play games abt it!!! I just.. I really hate it.
i got raymond through the campsite!
@@SoraFan23 i FUCKING HATE THAT CARD GAME. It took me 7 hours to get Punchy to move in and kick out the right villager (its been a while, i forgot who but it might’ve been Miranda) and i had to TIME TRAVEL so my island wouldnt reset, thus kicking him off the campsite, when i went to sleep. Took me 2 full, real-world days to get Bruce to move in and kick out Julia (i had 3 snooty and all i needed was a cranky to have all the personality types) and i had to time travel THREE TIMES to, once again, keep my island from resetting. It’s literal hell. I wouldn’t mind the card game so much if we got to pick which villager gets to leave, but it becomes painful and torturous when the chosen villager is _also_ luck based :/
I want sassy vilagers and more interactivity with them so bad. Then i can call this officially the best animal crossing
Even though I don’t play acnh, I’ve watched lots of videos, and it looks like villagers have become TOO nice. Even in new leaf It feels they are too nice. I like Wild world, where there is villager drama, seeing 2 villagers argue and one angrily stomps off after. They should really add more of that in acnh.
Only once have I felt sad when a villager left my island. I encouraged Celia to leave and then felt guilty about it immediately afterwards. At least she moved to my friend's island so I could still visit her (even though she doesn't recognise me :c)
@@pamelaroldan4100 Was this in New Horizons?
The best interaction I had with villagers was when I listened in on a conversation between Rolf and Roald and Roald was telling Rolf about electrolytes and alkaline stuff. Rolf asked me if I knew anything about that, and when I said yes, he said then I’m also probably the type who will hold my hand under my chin as I eat a cookie. It’s true, I’ve never been more called out in my life by a fictional character, ever 😂
I’ve gotten a *slight* improvement in my ACNH villager experience by talking to every villager twice. Their first dialogue is always one of like 3 things, and I’ve seen it before. Their second one has a better chance of something new to me.
Dizzy the elephant had a passionate, despairing rant about wind chimes hurting his ears. It was a good time.
Maybe there can be a setting button to adjust the level of sass. Or better yet a slider to fine tune. Also yes fetch quests, them coming to us more, and more of them coming to you would help.
oh my gosh thats genius its a perfect compromise for the people who like the old sassy villagers and idk whoever likes the bland modern villagers (nintendo i guess)
I miss the old design philosophy Nintendo had in mind when it came to some of the older Animal Crossing games. The original series producer wanted to emulate his emotions when moving away from his small rural town (and family and friends) to a new city, all on his own. Making new friends, accomplishing himself over responsibilities, tasks and obstacles.
At first, you’re just a young adult moving away from home and trying to get your foot in the door on life. You’re never more important or held to any sort of pedestal over your animal neighbors, everyone has their own struggles in life. You may think you’re special but you’re but a resident of this small town like everyone else.
Contrast that to modern animal crossing. You’re an all-powerful deity that your animal neighbors literally worship. Everything is entirely up to solely you, the protagonist. You get to decide where people live, who gets to stay on the island and who has to leave, everything. You decide who gets to plant flowers by their house, you decide where public services are located, and you even decide what your neighbors wear for christ’s sake.
The original design philosophy has since been trampled over in the name of customization and player freedom, trading substance for open-endedness, trading quality for quantity.
That’s what I like about AC gamecube. It’s much more like an honest struggle when it comes to succeeding in your new animal life.
I miss animal crossing new leaf 😭 I lost my 3DS this year and miss it so much
this. this is something ive noticed when replaying wild world vs entries like new leaf and new horizons. I liked the feeling of being a part of a community not the integral force thats controlling literally everything about it. felt like they had it right where you moved into the village and it was your job to adapt to the setting around you.
I used to really enjoy the petition signature quest from New Leaf. Even if it absolutely wasn't worth the reward you got, it gave me an excuse to pester my friends and let me come to their islands... I'd love more quests in general, so long as they don't result in my villagers displaying an ugly sea bass in their house 🙄
Use the repeativeness to learn another language. Go to system settings and change the language to what you want to learn and when you play animal crossing look up every word you don’t understand as you read. This is very hard amd a very high ceiling to pass but it’s a good challenge and great fit for animal crossing since you can do this at yer own pace. It also changes the dynamic of playing, you ain’t just playing a video game; you are doing homework. No one can complain about you playing video games ever again!!!!!
Also for so,e reason so,e of the names change and I think it’s kinda cute; Timmy amd tommy chsnge to nendo and tendo for Spanish amd it’s so much cuter.
Great idea, I’ll use this to improve my spanish.
This is a great idea! Its like soft-assimilation into a new country trying to learn the language. I wonder then is it better that they're all nice to you or would it be funnier to figure out 15 minutes later that you were just called ugly and annoying lol
nendo and tendo sound so cute 🥺🥺
I have noticed that if I interact with a villager multiple times in a row, I am more likely to get a request. Keep selecting “I want to chat” and the third time is sometimes a request.
I never played animal crossing before NH so I dont miss anything but we do need our villagers personality to have more..
Personality. I find that the normal villagers while cutest have bland houses and aren’t interesting at all… but then that kinda spreads for the rest of my digital buddies. If the personality’s maybe we’re given a glow up I think that would help out the game
Well it's kinda in the name
The only moment that melted my heart in AcNH is when spike had me do a treasure hunt and when I brought him the gift he went "oh look it's your very own Spike photo!" 😭 It was so cute
Don’t forget that Resetti has the ability to summon lightning when he gets super peeved
In NH I just consider the villagers decorative. They've gotten more plain from game to game.
I mean I get why they did it, to appeal to the masses. But it felt so much more personal when they were different and kinda bitchy.
The villagers in New Horizons almost feel like toys that you press a button on and they cycle through a few select phrases.
Honestly, in my opinion I think that the interactions are lacking, but they aren’t horrible. If there was just a little more dialogue, it would be almost perfect.
@AndrewWithEase11 11 Yikes
@AndrewWithEase11 11 I don't think I will.
@AndrewWithEase11 11 What more words are you going to thesaurus the shit out only to sound just a tad smarter than you really are. It's insane that at all of comment sections, you choose an animal crossing video, and to top it off you get offended by person with a different opinion! How pathetic are you? Your childish behavior is so astonishing, I just have to stoop down to your level and admire your shitty ideas.
@AndrewWithEase11 11 can you like stop your annoyong
@AndrewWithEase11 11 with that attitude you aren't. And how
My first animal crossing game was new leaf, I liked how your villagers could ask you to come to their house or viseversa! I thought that was really cute and fun, even though all they did was walk around! I also really liked that they could sell you furniture from their house!
I’ve just started playing New Leaf for the first time (New Horizons was my first AC experience) and so far New Leaf’s villager interactions seem MUCH more engaging and varied. I wish New Horizons’ villagers were as well-rounded as they used to be in even the most recent game prior…
I think sometimes you just have to wait for something interesting to happen to the villagers. Like one day I found Celia and Marina angrily stomping around both saying Fauna had told them a movie spoiler. Then later I found Fauna stomping around and she said she was mad no one wanted to talk to her anymore. Or something along those lines. It was funny and interesting to see tho!
I’ve been getting back into wild world and new leaf recently and it just makes New Horizons lack of interactions even more glaring. My wild world friends regularly came up to me to gossip, share letters, ask me about how to help villagers, things like that. In new leaf they did more of the same, and even if you have multiple villagers with the same personalities they all feel different. New horizons has the problem of if you have one smug villager for example, you’ve literally had them all. I just find it so frustrating because I feel similar to you, I don’t really care about talking to my animals all that much, I’ve heard all of the conversations before. Yes they’ve added some new dialog which is appreciated don’t get me wrong, but it’s more if the same and it’s so disappointing
I miss when Isabelle would follow you around when you chose a spot for a public works project. It was such a cute part of the game. Why doesn't Tom Nook follow you around when you place/move a home or one of the shops? Or having villagers walk with you like in Pocket Camp
I miss tree stump designs and the mini games on Tortimer’s island and mostly I miss the toy hammer I could whack people with 😆
Omg the zelda tree stumps
I go back to New Leaf A LOT, and mostly for the interactions. And I remember even thinking when NL came out that it was lacking in the interaction. But now with NH it really puts it into perspective. I still have Wild World but I just don't get as much joy going back to that one. I'd much rather the interaction just come back in the next game. I've always said this one is just like Happy Home Designer for islands. Happy Island Designer.
They have updated the dialogue quite a bit, to be fair. I took a few months off and was shocked to see how much that had changed. The other games probably have about as much variety as NH now. But I agree that whats missing is the SPICE
Can we talk about how the programming for the villagers is also flawed? I seen my villagers do their daily exercise in front of buildings, sometimes they work in place when objects or fences are around, and also they tend to block your way when you're trying to terraform. Everytime they do this I find myself having to push them to the beach and dig holes around them, just so they would not get in my way. Its not something I want to do, but when my villagers keep doing that it gets me really annoyed.
Oh god I hate that so much. This is why I have to make wider paths because when my villagers sit on the ground, they block my way and I have to push them out.
YES. the ai in this game is so bad. fishing is so infuriating. putting down paths is so infuriating. watering FLOWERS is so infuriating. i never had this much trouble in new leaf.
Not really something from previous games (maybe it is I haven't played the other games except a little bit of wild world) but I think it would be nice if they could code villager specific dialogue. I noticed when going through the villager wiki that a lot of villagers have their own aspirations and I think it would be nice if we could hear about them when we become friends with our villagers. I know it would take a lot of coding, so it probably wouldn't happen but I think it would be a nice way to differentiate each personality further.
smth i find frustrating is that the normal villagers are often considered the "cutest" so if u have a few on ur island u get "i thought i smelled my dad's ________" a million times a day ;_;
I hearty heart Mott but boy oh man am i ever tired of hearing him name his abs.
I wish they had more variety and said more things
I don't know what they were thinking, I mean maybe they were thing that because of the rudeness from past AC games that it got too much, but I think having everyone be too friendly is just creating this balance issue and lack of interesting interactions.
@AndrewWithEase11 11 That only happened with City Folk where a lot of people say it was a mix between the Original AC and Wild World that didn't do much different besides add in the City.
I remember having both Tank and Bubbles in the original AC as well. Tank became my best friend and he's been my favorite villager ever since.
yeah, everything.
Your first!
@@Littlecheez17 you're* (not to be rude)
@@tristansahm2315 sorry my grammar sucks lol
I miss that the villagers don't visit us in our houses anymore. I liked that...
very true, my normal villagers have the same dialog, they are very bland.
When I showed my sis how to villager hunt she found agent s on the 1st ticket, lolly on the 7th, Audie on the 35th, stitches right after that, then merry on the 67th, and a ton more. When she told me she didn’t add any of them to our island I was like -- *inhale* “boi.”
Ideas for an update:
1. Make it so that villagers can naturally like or not like you based on what you do in the game, for example if you have tons of flowers on your island or water them frequently, villagers with the nature hobby (for example Zucker) they will like you more and if you don't your friendship could naturally lower of stay the same
2. Give villagers the ability to not like you, this would only work for villagers ho naturally move in via move in queue, these villagers are more likely to be provoked by you pushing them, they will spawn far away from your house, will take more friendship points to become friends with, and are more likely not give you medicine, not ask you for favors, ask for you stop chatting with you, and their birthdays will appear later on the bulletin board, with this in mind, they will still be grateful for any gifts and gifts will give you their normal amount of friendship points
3. Improve villager to villager relationships, this is the fun part, for villagers that are good friends you can see them chat more, along with giving each other gifts, hanging out with each other, sitting together, walking together, them both approaching, or ignoring you, and more. While villagers that hater each other will go off at each other, "Borrow" stuff, plant pitfall seeds outside each others houses, and ignore each other
4. "Minigames" that will randomly be done with your villagers, and I am not talking about the poopy treasure hunts that take two seconds if you already dug up your fossils for the day, like i want to see the 3 on 3 basketball that Dom and Diana always talk about, it feels like I am missing out on an opportunity to bond with my villagers
5. The ability to have SE??!??!??!?!!?!? OK WEVE TALKED ABOUT THIS JAMES!!! AUDIE IS NOT THAT HOT!!!!
Aaa yess
i miss how in acnl villagers could ask you to get them a piece of furniture for their house. idk why but i just really want that back in acnh lol
Playing NL and NH at the same time now, I do admit that I romanticized the villagers in NL a bit. NH's seem actually more alive since they do stuff and not just walk around all-day aimlessly. Having said that, I do miss interactions like hide and seek especially. I am attached to my main island villagers and I actually enjoy trying to coax new dialogue out of them with outfits etc which led to some fun discoveries.
I actually time-travelled excessively on my 2nd island to free a space there after allowing one of my mains to leave and suddenly realizing that I ABSOLUTELY would miss him. Now he lives on the 2nd island and it makes me happy lol
More interactivity with items and yourself like as you said giving you the option to request a task would go a long way, though.
The villagers in new horizons are just things for me to throw around and judge based on appearance while in past games I didn’t care what the villagers looked like it was their personality that I cared about the old villagers said and did interesting things
I am mostly just doing interesting challenges like having all of the villagers on my island and getting their portraits (while my museum is still incomplete). NH is my first AC game but even I can tell that its a decorating simulator, which is fine on its on
@@TinaTissue28 yeah you’re right the villagers are fun but I just miss the way they were in the older games I guess NH is still my favorite in the series so far
I kind of miss the gemstones you used to be able to get from rocks in New Leaf (I think you can still get them in Pocket Edition?). I think they would be great crafting materials. When it comes to villagers... I now like to listen in on when they have a conversation with eachother. It's not always as predictable as the ones you have with them alone. Other wise, it can get a bit boring. There are now a couple of ones on my island that I can't get to move. Some of them are my own fault, because they did ask me once if they should move, and I told them no. If you told them "no" once, they'll ask you again later, right? Please?
one time queenie got into an argument with hamlet and i was dying lmfao. i do completely agree with your comment tho. also, i just completely ignore them and they will eventually move.
Yea, the timer is set to 15 days. A random villager will ask to move out by the 15th or 16th day, if it's not the one you want then don't talk to them and wait to see if the thought bubble jumps to a new villager the next day (assuming you don't time travel). If you do time travel you can cheese it. Also, the most recent villager to move in will NEVER have the move out thought bubble so make sure your 10th villager is one you actually want.
@@NinjaKittkatt actually the most recent villager who moved in CAN be the one to get the moving thought bubble. it happened on my island before.
I honestly miss the sassy villagers saying I had ugly face or clowning me for what I was wearing lol it made me appreciate the villagers that I actually liked more. I totally agree asking for something to do from a villager helped when you were bored. Now I just run around aimlessly the save an quit especially since my friends have stopped playing a long time ago.
Fetch quests are something that I think would be incredibly fun to have. I also think it would be nice if villagers had more that they could ask you to do, instead of just cycling through the usual requests of delivering a present or needing you to catch a fish. It would be the perfect balance between the villager mechanics from past games and the kinder, more toned-down personalities in New Horizons
Am I the only one who squealed with joy at one villager and literally screamed in excitement at another? The first one was Stitches, and the one that made me scream was Raymond :p yes I'm an adult, but I freaking love my boys!!!! I'm crocheting little toys of all my villagers now that I have all villagers that I absolutely love :)
I miss having a lot of shops and Tortimer's Island. I didn't start playing until New Leaf so
I don't miss anything from the older games. Brewster's Cafe would be good too. I hope
the next Animal Crossing game adds more character types. Smug and Uchi were good new
types in New Leaf and I'd like to see more added if Nintendo could think of any.
The best conversation was with Erik, when he was talking about cars and then making a lot of crashing “sounds” in the dialogue and ended up saying “I’m not allowed to drive cars. Anymore.” That was THE best and only great interaction I have had with any villager.
After talking to puddles twice in one day, she says ‘let’s see how many more times we can talk to each other today?’ And it feels like I’m just not wanted. Like I’m being punished for talking to them
Maybe it's just me, but I remember constantly being asked for stuff in Wild World and it made me relieved that it's been toned down in New Horizons. Still, while my neighbours ask me to give stuff to others due to a fight or something quite often, the request for specific insects and bugs, or just playing a little treasure hunting minigame feels quite rare
As for dialogues, I find myself discovering more unique ones after talking to them a few times throughout the day. I still run into the same conversations mentioned in comments and this video, but there are a number of times when I get caught off guard on dialogue I didn't see. An example is Ozzie being annoyed with wind chimes and he took out the frustration on me. Like jeez, I've never seen him so angry before
Or perhaps I'm just forgetful and you guys have run into that same sort of random dialogue already? I tend to be wrong a lot, lol
Although, it does feels like more conversations have been added after not playing for months
It would be cool to do more activities with them at least
This is why Wild World is my favourite one because I have more comfort and interactions, I don't get to control my villagers and I love that.
Absolutely spot on. I miss when the villagers would yell at you for running around. They'd literally sprint to you, FUMING, just to tell you to stop making so much noise. That amused me as a kid. Now adays? You're lucky you even get a side eye from the crankiest of cranky villagers for doing something intentionally horrible to them. Never thought I'd say this but ...the fetch quests were an awesome mechanic for the game. Also, watching the villagers interact with each other was a fun experience because they tended to piss each other off, lol.
Honestly, I miss Mr. Resetti. I used to purposely close my game and not save to see him pop up and get really angry. I found it funny.
As a kid I loved doing hide & seek with my villagers, after that interaction I spent days talking to my villagers wondering when I could do it again. I also loved my villagers for who they were but not how they looked.. I miss those days :'D
The villagers do feel like clones of each other after a while, the more you play the more you notice them saying the same things over and over again.
To quote Jaiden Animations: "The animals in New Horizons feel like just objects for me to judge on appearances and get items from" That felt heavy when I first heard, but now I pretty much agree. I'd just add that from my experience the only attachment I have with the Villagers come from past games.
Villagers on their birthdays are so sweet! They are so happy and dance around their house.
They should add a new quest for a villager to ask you . Like
When going inside your house they can be in the crafting table thinking . You ask them what’s going on and they say they were going to make a furniture but need a material to do that . They can ask you if you can give them that material, once completing a quest they can reward you a DIY recipe or something else .
I wished they would be more interactive.
So I had a villager move out yesterday. Gathered around 15 NMT and started hunting. Out of the first 11 NMT, I encountered money rock island a total of three times, one villager twice in a row and former villagers three times. In the past I remember things being a bit more “random”…
So, I play this game too much. You're right in that asking for fetch quests need to return. But I've learned that if you swim a bit, they are more likely to have a thought bubble appear above their head. And IIRC, you can ask the villagers in new leaf for fetch quests.
That being said, I do not want to wait for the new animal crossing for them to improve the lack of villager interaction. Nintendo is pretty decent about listening to us when it comes to updates, albeit slow (there's a pandemic, people are dead, etc etc), but I'm sure they'd be able to at least increase the thought bubble/hey player rate, if not add an option of "do you need something."
And it seems that most games, not just Animal Crossing, have been increasingly making things easier for those who are new to the series.
SPEAKING OF CONNECTIONS TO VILLAGERS...
I adore Eugene the Koala. he was my best friend in new leaf and i get emotional thinking about him.
i also adored cyrano, marina, rowan, jambette, fauna, knox, even pinky who i couldnt stand i regret letting move out, and so many more... i miss new leaf sm :( i never played the older games so i wasnt around for the meaner villagers but i think new leaf was perfect. villagers were nice without feeling lifeless and occasionally did have their sassy mean moments.
if theyd just bring back favors nh would be so much more fun for me.
i think they should add little scenes where you can organise things with villager friends like sleepovers or picnics or a beach day, thatd be so fun! and maybe it could work like u have to craft certain items and put them in certain locations to have it, like with a beachday maybe u have to craft a coconut juice thingy and put it on a beach and then u can start a beach day activitu, i think thatd be so cool and also a good opportunity for a photo with your fave villagers
I miss all the interactions and variety in New Leaf.....I miss the sense of progression also...in NH I reseted my island twice cuz I got well bored extremely quickly
maybe I'm overly emotional but I am REALLY attached to my new horizon villagers
to the point that at most times, there are at least 7 or 8 people on my island I could never let go ever because I love them so much and I feel like I couldn't live without them
when I convinced myself to let Bluebear move out and she told "I well never forget you", I cried for an hour because she was one of my best friends
The best interaction I had in the new animal crossing is when Chester was unintentionally breaking the forth wall… but it all dwindled down to just him telling me a “scary” story
Yes! This if my favorite lazy dialogue
I miss residents coming over to your house. Pearse used to always come and have a nose around my house. He would call in when I was busy sorting furniture or something. It was funny.
I have done three villager hunts for Raymond. First two I gave up after finding another good villager. In this case Wolfgang then Magen. But on the third try I passed on A LOT of desirables. It took 68 tickets but I got the business cat for my island. It's fun to imagine stories for why they moved to your island.
The best interaction I’ve had is with Phil when I had him on my island and he was telling me about his plan of making a basement video 🤣 like- I don’t know whether to be worried or to laugh. It sounded sketchy
My problem with the villagers: Raymond always steals the attention for no reason, yet the sanrio, superhero and underrated villagers don't get the attention they deserve. I mean, people say that Raymond Is the rarest thing in existence, yet the amiibo card series 5 will be coming out soon and I've seen many towns with him in it and don't see much people with Rocket, Barod or Bitty. So long story short, I love the villagers, but Raymond was one of the reasons I left the fandom.
The villagers are so boring. I don't find any reason to talk to them other than to get their photo or poster.
I've said this a million times, but the villagers feel like dolls. The part of the game that used to give the series life now feels completely lifeless...
One of my favorite animal crossing memories was in wild world (my first game), when Octavian and I had a back and fourth with letters. He kept calling me lame! and I loved him for it!!! The best part was that that conversation was over more than one letter. I was devastated when he moved.
I am deeply invested in villager friendships, as this is my first AC game.. But that changed 6 months into playing when I read about there being 8 set personality types & discovering they would all share the same dialogue - I was so shocked & kinda upset that my villagers were kina just vacant vessels that carried 1 of 8 personality traits 💔😭
I know that sounds harsh but hear me out 😂
I still have a strong attachment to all my villagers & refuse to let any leave.
The longer I play the more I notice the repetitive dialogue & it's frustrating because it would be so easy to pep up/diversify their dialogue!!
I still talk to my villagers every day but once I've got there photo my interest in them definitely wanes :(
I kinda wish I'd never read about the personality types lol 😭
Take poor Isabelle for example - she has been given the worst dialogue by far - Literally says 1 of 4 things every. Single. Day. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
How much better would it be to give her 1 new thing a day? It could be as simple as commenting on the weather, or telling us which NPC is visiting that day - she wouldn't even need 365 different promts..
She used to irritate me but now I feel bad for her, because no-one bothered to flesh out her character..
This is why I miss Tom Nook greeting me in the morning - he's a total cutie & he'd always give you a job or direction - I miss those interactions!
TLDR: I am strongly attached to my villagers & talk to them every day but I wish the dialogue was more varied.
Nintendo ends up with this insanely niche issue with it's games where people desperately WANT to play your game more, they are going to the ends of the earth to find a reason to keep playing because they love it. And the development just completely struggles to give you reasons to continue playing.
Actually it was Doubutsu no Mori e + on the GameCube rather than Wild World on the DS that started the revolution with hoping that your villagers have a job for you to do when saying "I'm bored" or something like that rather than saying "I want a job" or "I need work".
There are many problems with villagers. The biggest problems are the repetitiveness of their dialogue (especially when you talk to them the first time for the day), they force you to pick DIY recipes that you already know when they craft in their houses (I'm missing the iron door plate, which is given by sisterly villagers, some of the flower wreaths and crowns, and Celeste's space themed DIY recipes), and they use reactions that you can't use. I'm hoping that Nintendo will fix those issues anytime soon with an update. By the way, I'm new on the channel.
I've actually noticed that ACNH has added more dialouge to the game. For example: recently Punchy talked about how crazy Tom Nook was and how fake our lives were- I've had 3 lazy villagers on my island for a while now and none of them have said this line before.
A cool idea they could of added to the game in winter could be snow ball fights. You run around your island looking for that perfect shot on your neighbor to win the game without getting hit yourself
My favorite feature was just brought back. It was the feature where you could go to a villagers house and they'd ask you if you liked something in their house and then they'd give it to you. I love that mechanic and I'm glad it's back.
As someone who has only ever played Pocket Camp and New Horizons, I feel like I have a better connection to my villagers than people who’ve played older games because I don’t know what’s different or lacking. I get excited when I’m out designing my island and my villagers stop me to ask for trades or have requests for new catchphrases. I do wish the treasure hunt happened more often or that other mini games occurred. Like I’d love the option to race my Jock villagers. Let me engage with them in their skill.
