Everyone calls Tom Nook greedy but a 0% interest loan with no time limit to pay it back is the actual dream.
Absolutely agree, I dont get why ppl are so mean to Tom Nook. He's THE chillest landlord/bank owner/business man ever lmao
@@pixi7633 bc ppl are insane on ideologies these days and encouraged to do so around the net in most media
@@tablescissors True its very much just a "Capitalism Bad™" thing lol
It is less about interest and more that you...didn't have a choice in the matter. Trying to say 'no, I do not wish another loan' would lead to an endless loop until you relented. Thus locking all players into endless debt to a certain Nook
@@megaflamer that's actually not that true. Once you get over the initial payment you can make the decision on if you want to take another loan or not. You don't have to. Yes sure your house will be tiny with only one room but you don't have to upgrade. Let's also consider the fact that you could say no and take the game out and not play the game. You decided to take air travel, own an island that you have full control over what it looks like and how it's functioning, and a home on said Island where you facilitate where everyone else also gets to live and all he charges you is for your personal home. It's literally the cheapest option available to someone who traveled across the world in his airplane and owns his Island. All of those other perks he hasn't charged you for. He literally gave you an island for free and air travel to said Island. Pretty generous for someone who signed the paper at the very beginning of the game saying yes I will do all of this and he didn't even charge you for using any of his services except house building. Lol
a time stamp just called “Raymond” is fucking terrifying
yeah
He’s not even that cute
The deeds are done, there is no God; only Raymond.
Even the time stamp has Raymond why me
overrated, if you ask me.
My take on the whole 'ugly villagers' thing in NH is that since they removed big aspects of their personalities, the villagers became blank slates, more like objects. So instead of liking characters for their personalities, you have to like them for their looks, hence the huge preference for cute characters rather than likeable ones because, well, they're all so copy-and-pasted that they're all meant to be likeable.
Exactly
I think Tabby is cute, even if nobody else does.
@@beauwalker9820 don't worry, you're not alone!
Very true. The only reason i'm attached to some "ugly" villagers is that they used to have personalities. So I managed to look past physical appearances as a kid, and the fond memories I have of them stick with me.
@@beauwalker9820i like tabby too my favorite villagers are rodeo lolly and vesta
It's such a shame that the Japanese themed items, holidays and gameplay elements were taken out for the US release. I think it would have been a great opportunity to teach Western players about Japanese culture.
true, but then again the cultural part could've easily been ignored by some players and would've just named it as some "aesthetic" thing :(
Seeing all the furniture that was taken out was really bizarre to me, it wouldn't have been too bad or alienating at all to have in game. Plus, as a British player, parts of the localisation are foreign to me too!
They added them back for new horizon
Yeah I do not understand why all those cultural things needed to be removed. They were perfectly fine.
They were probably afraid that people would see an unfamiliar item, ask "what the hell," and either move on (or worse, stop playing this confusing game altogether). "Teaching about Japanese culture" works best when the audience is expecting to learn something, and when there's an unambiguous explanation. Picking it up through osmosis isn't going to work as well, and education probably wasn't the game designers' priority to begin with.
Fun fact: Kitsune grow more tails as they age and become wiser. Redd only has one tail, which practically makes him a baby. It also means he's very inexperienced at tricking people, hence his fake art is easy to spot.
That's such a cute point! 👍 I love Kitsune and Gumiho legends.
I absolutely love that fun fact.
Another fun fact is that kitsune (like Red) and tanuki (like Tom) are usually seen as rivals and mostly oppose each other. This might be because of their similar power set (shape shifting and general trickery).
Fun fact: In the thumbnail Izzy looks like a villager 😂😂😂 Cute as a button and fits right in with the other animals
Hang on, is Redd a guy? If so, does that mean Tom is...?
@@QJ89 you thought they where females?? lol
my favorite theory is that the player character is actually playing pretend and the villagers are their stuffed animals. and the reason you get letters from your mom is because she wants to support your imagination. very wholesome compared to a lot of the other edgier theories lol
that makes me just as sad as the edgy theories thinking its all in the characters head tbh.
@@lemonworm understandable! it is a bummer to imagine all the animal friends aren’t real
wait that's so cute
oh 🥺
as cute as this theory is, i wouldnt want to pay debt to a raccoon if i was imagining this lol
My favorite theory about Zipper is that its actually Tom Nook in disguise, and he's dressing up to entertain Timmy and Tommy. It's a nice contrast to all the creepy theories, and it's kinda cute to think about it.
This is canon to me now
I think Zipper is your father
@@Super-Mario-Evan1227
If you're going by the theory that 'Matthew' presented, I'd say it's unlikely because he clearly doesn't even want to be there. It's more likely that he's a paid actor sent by your ageing father(who can't physically come to your new living space, or else he'd just visit with no disguise), who definitely doesn't care about actually keeping it all too friendly as long as he gets paid.

Or it could be Frillard from City Folk, stubbornly refusing to retire but also not wanting to be seen out of the Marquee, so he acts like a different character in order to not be recognised.
I do understand getting rid of Resetti, as funny as he was. I was also made to type out "i am dirt" repeatedly, and as a young kid that was already being abused at home and mistreated at school it just wasn't really something I wanted in my cute little animal game tbh. I wish they would've at least kept him optional though because now as an adult I just find him funny
I also dont understand the complaints about the nh villagers being "way too nice" and people saying how they miss when their villagers would roast you. I know its funny for some, but its not funny for everyone, especially kids who need to feel validation from their animal friends when theyre going through tough times or even abuse at home.
Honestly I was in the "mean villagers were fun" and "resetti was amazing" camp until I read these comments. I never even considered that and it totally makes sense to me why they changed them over time and dumped resetti (even tho i do love him still). I would love the villagers to get more dialogue/variation in personality, but keeping them wholesome/cute and uplifting the player character was definitely the way to go
@@clairvoyantPastry I feel they could add variation in personality without turning towards "they're all just jerks"..even if it's kinda funny when they're mean to you it just ends up as bland as when they're all personality-less and kind; either way variation is heavily lacking and they have no personality outside either "I'm a jerk" or "I'm sooo nice and cute".
@@testerwulf3357 I feel like they could make some of them roast you but then apologise about it, like for example:
Start conversation:
"WHOA! What rock did you crawl out of LOOKING like THAT!? _(surprised)_
..... _(Thinking)_
*insert villager catchphrase*! _(shocked)_ I was totally being rude just now, wasn't I ?! _(worried/distressed)_
I'm so sorrry! _(apologetic)_ Sometimes I just say things without thinking.... _(sigh)_
PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!! _(Crying)_ "
End conversation.
*Directly after that, they'll walk around sadly, and when you talk to them; will say something like:* "I meant that you look like something is wrong today... I really need to work on my people skills..... _(sigh)_ "
*Then maybe a day later the villager can send a post card to the player with a gift attached, reading:*
"Dear (player).
I am still sorry about what I said to you, it was totally NOT OK.
I didn't mean what I said, to come off so mean, but it did and I am truly sorry.
I realise that what I said wasn't very nice of me.
I want you to know that - no matter what opinion I have in the moment, and no matter what opinion I accidentally blurt out without thinking - that I really really value you (player), and our friendship.
So I picked up this little "forgive me gift" to you, that I hope you'll like.
And of course you don't have to forgive me, but just know that I meant no harm with what I said and that I care about you.
Yours truly ~ (Villager)"
*It would be best if these kinds of "jerky" conversations were really rare tho*
I played a lot on an old R4 card and games freezing was... pretty comon, I never willingly quit the game without saving but occasionally my game would crash and I'd have no choice. I get the idea of resetti, it's very funny, but a lot of people probably got yelled at for something completely unintentional/
fun fact: the Animal Crossing community always had a reputation for being wholesome and kind before New Horizons, but it was always the way people think it is currently. villager trading in New Leaf was way more brutal than it is in New Horizons lmao
Fr? I have ACNL but like how?
Dude villager trading was just about giving up your soul in acnl the game was always so frisky imo
I still find the N.H community far more annoying
It was? I mean I started playing NL in 2016 and I was just interested in hacking my 3DS at the time.
I remember that! I used to go to villager auctions for new leaf and people would drop insane amounts of bells (sometimes real money too) for their favs. there were also hackers making "gift towns" full of rare items and let people get in and grab what they want in a certain time limit. people went INSANE for them.
You missed the opportunity to name the Raymond segment “Everybody loves Raymond”
isn't that a lemon demon song
@@pannacottafUWUgo Yesss it is (it’s also a sitcom or somethin idk haven’t seen it)
I mean she did say it so the opportunity didn’t go fully unnoticed
@@pannacottafUWUgo It’s a song but the song is based on the show of the same day.
@@asmrtpop2676 oh i didn't know that!
This game was wild. I had Raymond, but didn't treat him differently than my other villagers. I caught him in a screenshot selling off another villager, and within minutes I was flooded with constant discord pings asking me my offer. Virtual cat was worth more than my life.
raymond was my first campsite villager the first time i played acnh and you wouldnt BELIEVE the mix of offers and death threats i got when i naively posted the screenshot on discord
Yeah, I used to have Raymond, but then he wanted to move out so I just let him (this was before I knew about the Raymond cult). I used to think back about it, regretting my decision and thinking about how many nmts I could’ve gotten. But now I’m just happy I didn’t end up becoming one of those people that charge 50 nook mile tickets just for other people to look at Raymond.
i still have him , i was actually never aware about his... situation... idk hes not my fav
its so funny that everyone was ready to pay so much when you can have him with a 2$ AliExpress NFC card
@@str4wbw3rryy "idk hes not my fav" Me too.
as someone who works at a Build-A-Bear, it would've been an actual stock NIGHTMARE for us to have actual plushies for villagers. I understand people wanting their fav characters but there's hundreds of villagers and I don't understand how both Nintendo and BAB would've handled how/which villagers to release
once saw someone suggest the idea that they just release blank villager models as plushies so people can draw their favorite villagers or oc on them :]
@@snirby670 That sounds like an extremely cool idea for a Blanca plush.
@@miimiiandco Yes! Very cool!
Another thing about Tom Nook is that in one of the early Japanese games, when you go into the store at late hours, tom nook is found sleeping in his shop. So the fact
that he gives you a house but doesn't have one himself to sleep in is so sad and shows his character
CRIES
@@deaddog7611 but you're dead
@@DuskPShermanWallaby123 dead people still have feelings
@@deaddog7611 true
Not to destroy the mood, but maybe he has a hidden house in his shop, like above / under it?
Sadly, most ACNH horror islands got mass reported along with star trees. Some people just cant imagine the game not revolving around them
Why were the horror islands reported...?
@@sapphavoc8626 Because ""it isn't relaxing"" or something along those lines.
@@RommekePommeke Damn.
@@RommekePommeke what the heckyyy, there's always been horror islands :c some of them are part of AC history. People are so strange.
@@stratosphere94 Yeah that's been a thing since like, New Leaf, right?
What’s crazy is when I first ever used the dream feature in new leaf, with no knowledge of what the function was. I randomly got taken to the first horror town mentioned in this video. I was pretty creeped out but mostly confused and I sent many pictures to my friends. It wasn’t until much later that I was made aware it was an extremely famous town. What luck
thats...insanely lucky. if i had the time or patience i'd try to calculate the odds of that happening. maybe i'll do it, idk.
that has the same vibe as that one redditor who, as a telemarketer or some similar job, had their number algorithm randomly spit out the phone number belonging to the director of the pentagon
@@peachfang That's crazy!
"It seemed everybody loved Raymond"
this can go 2 ways.
Let's not forget the best upgrade from Wild World to New Leaf: You could finally stack fruits in baskets in your inventory!! :D
Omg yes! But I hated when I had to do it manually. Same with money not going straight into your pocket like it does now in NH.
You could WHAT???
I imagine when that happened it was watched on a big screen like euro soccer and everyone starts going ape shit when the team wins
Wouldn’t it be from City Folk to New Leaf considering City Folk came after Wild World? Since City Folk is one of the least popular games in the series I get it’s easy to forget about lol
@@d-0002 I think you're actually right!
The shift of the fandom to wanting only aesthetically pleasing villagers makes sense since they took away varying personalities and gave all of them the same bland dialogue. What else is there to enjoy about them when the only thing differentiating them is their look?
Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
The grumpy villagers are a bit too nice in New Leaf; I can only assume they were watered down even further in NH. And the "grumpy" personality is my favorite villager type. So I'm really bummed that they're not actually mean anymore.
honestly i think its more to do with the fact that the ac community has grown up along with the game, and the focus within discourse around it has shifted to aesthetic towns (due to many external reasons, but also because the islands are so malleable now). whilst the personalities may have been watered down, i can still observe a stark difference between personality types- i have a few ...ugly... villagers that i wanted to kick out until i became friendly with them and realised they had unique and endearing traits. my main point though, is that most of us have grown up with the game and are now old enough to take full advantage of the customisation features, rather than pottering about aimlessly like we did when we were younger in earlier versions of the game.
@@chickenfoot2423 that’s not a good argument, just because you grow up doesn’t mean we want boring bland gameplay. I miss how much personality new leaf and the old games had. In new leaf they weren’t as mean too, but still different. New horizons is so shallow and boring now
@@vgacoralreef all those other games still exist, though. This is why I don't get the whole 'It USED to be like this but now it's like this'- you can still go play the old games for the villager personalities and stuff, and you can play NH for the customisation! It's not a one or the other, pick a game kinda thing.
@@barryhomeowner9293 while i get this argument and make it myself with other media... man. i really want outdoor customisation + not complete bullshit with villagers moving in/out... as well as strong villager personalities
41:58: This part just made me realize that Aggretsuko and animal crossing would make such a good (strange, but good) crossover!
One fanfic author made a really good short fanfiction were Retsuko and Isabelle meet in a bar.
@@aino-kaisav5504 that’s so adorable
Untapped potential tbh
They already did a Sanrio crossover I don’t think it’s too likely to happen💔
i wish they made the star trees work as decorations without the stars falling off the trees if you shake them. it would have been a nice deco if your going for a galactic or anything near that type of theme
That was exactly how I thought they could work! They would be the perfect addition to my galactic themed island, and its upsetting that a few killjoys decided to get them patched out :(
I don't get why people get mad at people hacking Animal Crossing if it's not ruining other people's games, like, it's not a competitive game
Bc it's not ""fair"" 🙄
It’s the same as the whole time skip discourse 😭
Yea >:( I just wanna get cherries smh my head
it super depends. some forms of hacking can REALLY fuck up the economy, and create an environment where people absolutely need to do some form of cheating or dreadful grinding just to keep up in order to participate in the larger community.
like, a hacker can easily make millions in a matter of minutes, but an honest player needs to put in a lot of work for that kind of payoff, and it can really sour the community if hackers are in charge of things.
@@robin5433 the economy? Nobody needs any of the things in these games. Participating in the larger community means what exactly? Showing off screenshots of your collections of stuff? What if someone plays 12 hours a day, but someone with a job or school can only play 12 hours a month? Does the jobless person fuck up the economy too? I can't imagine ever taking Animal Crossing so seriously tbh.
The "ugly villager bullying" joke was such a weird time. It started as a lighthearted meme, but people took it waaaaay too seriously. I remember spending a good few months on Nookazon when NH came out trying to get Eugene, and I had multiple people go on unprompted tangents about how much they hate & bully him. It was honestly just really uncomfortable since he was clearly one of my favorite villagers, and I was actively trying to get him. The newer fans weird villager elitism made me stop interacting w/ the community as a whole.
Thats so sad because I love Eugene and have him in my town. i didnt even think he was considered an "ugly villager"
never talk badly about a character you don't like,because they are likely SOMEONE'S favorite.
This is one of the reasons I don’t check most websites. I had never heard of AC until NH came out& so I know nothing of the villagers. I find it fun finding and narrowing down who I do and don’t like- which personalities I find most appealing, etc;. I don’t want that tainted by others negative opinions from previous games, their own personal view on how they look, etc;
This is why I like Wild World more than New Horizons
literally
When I first started playing Wild World and got Antonio in my village I very vividly remember him just absolutely tearing into me about my weight and exercise routine. At one point I agreed to meet him at my house at I think it was 5;30 pm, and I was just hanging out at my house waiting for him and then I thought “did he mean his house??” so I went to his house and he just absolutely ripped me apart about being late.
That’s the main reason he’s my favorite AC character, I think it’s really funny how aggressive he got with harassment. He’s an absolute joy to interact with, I love it.
I also really want an Antonio plush. But I can’t find an official one literally anywhere. It makes me really sad :c
The first Animal Crossing was the first game i ever bought with my own money. It is also the first game my Dad ever played. He's a grizzly old concrete worker (in the best way, i say that with love) and not a gamer. But AC intrigued him. He was the first one in our family to pay off his house fully... They erected a statue of him in our town. He then continued to earn bells and dropped them at my door and my brothers door to help us pay off our houses. 😊 It has a warm place in my heart and i will always love Animal Crossing
That’s so cute!! 😭😭😭
Knowing that Chris Chan made possibly the first ever lets play of animal crossing is wild to me
She might have also been the first ever let's player
another discovery for christory
i got cold sweats when it was mentioned
@@DuskPShermanWallaby123 honestly not even being transphobic chris said it themselves they only came out for attention. why do people use “she” for this monster that honestly should be referred to in the past tense
@@payne3133 because you would called a terrible person the n-word if they were black right? don't do the same for trans people. and i get that Chris is despicable but her gender has nothing to do with it
I read something a month or so ago: "It's always the people with the soft/pastel Sanrio aesthetic that turns out to be the worst people." I feel like that can apply to the Animal Crossing community as well now, honestly...
UPDATE: Holy shit this blew up, so I'd like to correct myself a bit - I didn't state that EVERYONE who are into Animal Crossing and/or pastel aesthetics are bad apples. Hell, even I consider myself a pastel goth and recently got into New Horizons again. It's just that the amount of people that are bad apples are incredibly loud.
Those people make me embarrassed to like that aesthetic
LOL, that hurt but yeah i totally understand that some of the community is kind of really bad
Sadly true, the same people also shame others for being different while also virtue signaling. If you like pastel without being toxic then you should never be offended by such observation, honestly
@Simple Weirdo LMAO HAHAHA i don't think it's that deep but you're very funny
its such a pretty aesthetic
The Bob dancing over "No-one is here to help you" is also a reference to A Hat in Time as he is doing the Peace and Tranquility dance. A dance typically seen as Hat Kid being super smug.
That's why the Animal Crossing wiki talks about it on Bob's trivia section of his page!
the fact that raymond has his own chapter is crazy but not at all unexpected
my personal wholesome animal crossing theory is that stitches was made by the player's mom. a lot of the decor in his house is the homemade stuff you can only get from the letters your mom sends you, and he's obviously made to look like a patchwork stuffed animal. i just think it's a really cute idea that like, maybe your mom was worried about you missing home or being lonely so she made stitches so you'd always have a friend from your hometown with you.
🥺🥹
He was always my favourite villager and honestly? This makes it even better
@@scawydemon i know right. i know some people think the walking talking patchwork doll vibe is creepy but i have such a soft spot for raggedy stuffed animals and i think his design is darling
omg this is so wholesome, i never thought about this before but it makes so much sense
Pls i was just thinking about moving him out dont do this to me
Fun fact, in the 2.0 update for New Horizons, if you use the Resetti amiibo at The Roost, he will comment on how his “old job” would cause him so much stress, but he’s much happier now
:( i have new life and i built rosetti's thing back in august/july 2021 because of this video so now i feel bad for building it :((( poor resetti...
he sometimes will be in the roost even without an amiibo too ! i only know this because i don’t have his amiibo card but he was sitting on one of the barstools and would have the same dialogue as the one you described !
I just view Resetti as the data save manager dude. No wonder he was so stressed all the time.
When I was a kid playing animal crossing on the GameCube, all I had was this busted ass off-brand controller that would randomly cease all input, leaving my character standing there frozen. The only way to fix it was to reset the entire console.
This happened multiple times per day. So not only was life in my town grueling and unfulfilling because I could hardly ever save my progress, but I was also verbally abused for 3 straight minutes by an angry Italian mole waving a large pickaxe every time I logged in.
I'm glad he's doing better now, because I'm not
@@yeahreally9185 THE LAST LINE-
Stardew Valley’s main influence was actually Harvest Moon! It would be super cool if you could do a Harvest Moon deep dive, it’s been so influential to so many slice of life and farming sim games. It was also my hyper fixation while I was growing up lol
Or stardew valley, that would be super interesting
Its really just a shame Harvest Moon progressively got worse after Harvest Moon DS (maybe the best one?). I got one of them on 3DS and was super disappointed by it, Stardew is just superior in almost every way.
Thank you! I was rummaging for this comment, because I got unreasonably upset that they claimed AC influenced stardew.
Stardew was meant as a homage to the origins of harvest moon before the split of the Harvest Moon/Natsume and Story of seasons/marvelous. Would make for interesting content for a deep dive with the internal termoil of the company

Fun thing about Resetti in New Leaf, if you got the manhole cover and installed it in your town, right around/before daily reset time (5AM iirc) if you were out wandering, you could find the manhole cover open. Climbing down into it let you meet and talk to Resetti's brother XD
i know a lot of people talk smack on pocket camp, but i actually really enjoyed it. It was my first introduction to the game series, and I had so much fun playing it since it was a fun way to waste time and since I have insomnia it was great for not feeling like a useless blob. I was actually really sad when i couldn't play it anymore due to the latest update, still am actually.
It's gotten really grindy over the years, tbh. I still check in daily because I know a few on my friends list personally and I just can't shake the hoarding instinct, but the constant cycle of garden event - fishing event - gyroid event is old news by now. They made some quality of life tweaks, but some of the new stuff (like the planner, which comes with a bunch of new in game purchases) legit just slows down the load times even more.
I still want some of those PC items in NH and this is a torch I'll carry forever :'D
I’m in exactly the same boat! ACPC was my first and only Animal Crossing game. I started playing literally the day it launched and I was _devastated_ when the 32-bit/64-bit update apocalypse happened. My phone is 32 and 32; there wasn’t even a chance I could keep playing.
I’m still in the discord and I still keep up with the update summaries just to see what’s going on but it’s depressing to be so removed from the community now. Especially since that update happened _right_ after the whole “social” feed/photo display/sticker reacts thing started.
I barely sleep 12 hours a week and every now and then I look at my clock right as it’s turning over to my New Day time and just feel sad. I miss Animal Crossing :/
I’ll never forgive Nintendo for getting rid of both Brewster and Gyroids
We can always hold out hope for an update for the game Nintendo quickly forgot, about despite selling millions of copies. :(
@@RDTate they’ve teased more updates, but honestly I haven’t touched the game in months ever since the Sanrio item drop (I had the cards way back on new leaf)
I'm really going to expose myself here but I had a crush on Brewster before realizing I was a lesbian and I wanted to try to befriend him so bad jkhfkdjshfjd
Wait, but aren’t they already in acnh? I didn’t grow up with the older games, so I may just sound stupid lol. Maybe you’re talking about the furniture or something? Idk. Just kinda confused lol - sorry. Also, I also really hope Brewster comes back. I saw a plushie of him at Target today lol.
@@violet-gaze MOOD
I had a crush on Nook.. I am also a lesbian
When she blocked out the cat silhouette and said “we’ll talk about them later” my first thought was “wow has the ankha meme been going for that long?”… i forgot about Raymond
how dare you, you cretin /j
They’ve both been ruined 😭 (though ankha’s been for a long while now)
Well at least we don’t discriminate between genders in the AC fandom 🤷♂️
Nature is healing.
Weird how people could humanize these little cartoon animals so much that they’ll cry when you whack them with a bug net, but nobody has an issue with removing the ladder from a pool in the sims and watching them drown 😂
I was in Brewster and I saw Resetti and it make me kinda happy cause he was like “Hey leave me alone. And between me and you, remember to save your game” and it made me kinda happy cause it was a call back
I feel like a lot of the "choosing villagers based on appearance" is because of the watering down of the "meaner" personalities. That's the case for me, anyway. I'm definitely less picky appearance-wise in wild world.
It's also why I get burnt out on the game a lot faster now
I feel like it’s definitely that now, if the animals still had their more unique and entertaining dialogues, people would focus a lot more on personality rather than appearance
@@mikuzillas i'm genuinely curious as to whether there was unique dialogue for each villager, or whether there was just a much larger bank of phrases and stuff to pull from in the older games, and it got filed down over time. (i mention this because i remember playing wild world as a kid, and getting mad because my two peppy villagers kept saying the same stuff over and over hfdsjdfhs)
i think it would be cool if nintendo dropped an update for nh that added more for them to say - i don't know how possible that is because i haven't made a game before, but hopefully it'd at least help with the criticism :o
@@hershelroswell The older games didn't have unique dialogue for each villager. Villagers with certain personality types all had the same dialogue banks, appearance was always the thing that set them apart. Players caring about how villagers look is absolutely not a new thing, New Leaf also had a totally insane villager market.
@@hershelroswell there has always been a set bank of dialog for each type fo villager but when say hobbys were still a thing it set 2 villagers of the same personality apart because it was kinda set up like this
Personality type
Hobby
Friendship level
So the personality type was the main differentiator but with hobbys it narrowed it down more and then if your friendship level was low vrs high would also play a role into it. You really didn't get repetitive dialog that often in the games before like new leaf or even wild world.
Er, no. That might be a small part of it but its 99% because of amiibo and how the later games are much more online-accessible. Its also the fact that older games were far uglier so aesthetics as a whole are less of an issue. It ain’t always about the nostalgia, and I for one am glad they don’t have their old gcn personalities anymore.

I asked a friend(who got nh basically the day it came out) how they feel about Raymond and all they said was 'traumatized'
There was a GIANT fish shadow in the pond in my game and I got an arapaima when I reeled it in. No joke, I was a teen and had no idea how to use cheats/glitches at the time. This is wild to hear about over 10 years later.
i wouldn't be surprised if somebody out there sold Raymond bath water.

I'm very much an "old school" AC fan, one of those who longs for the more fleshed-out personalities of the villagers in the Gamecube days, who thinks Mr Resetti did nothing wrong and who absolutely does not understand the fuss about Raymond. Those of my generation, who used to make memes about how Tom Nook was a vicious loan shark, are now grown up and getting real-life mortgages of our own and realising that Nook's loans were extremely gracious in comparison. We don't deserve Nook, we never did.
as someone who's in the new generation of ac, i admittedly agree with a lot of your points! i don't understand the fuss about raymond either, but i think it has something to do with nindendo watering down the villager's personalities--so people only focus on the aesthetic side of things.
@@r.owennn yeah! his design also hits a lot of "popular character" beats, even moreso than marshall before him (especially the suit, glasses and heterochromia, as well as the fact he's a cat villager, which are seen as "cuter" or w/e) so naturally everyone swarmed him. i personally dont get it either and its kind of funny because he's one of the few smug villagers i genuinely dislike whkhfdjhfds
@@r.owennnA strange thing is...they didn't. According to the Wiki anyways, so it could be incorrect of course, but supposedly they just chose to start translating the games more precisely and the JPN version was always that "boring."

Me too, @hershelroswell. Me too.
kappa have been changed to be more friendly in japanese culture. theyre depicted as cute characters that warn children to be safe on signs around water. thats probably why a kappa was included in the game, because it is now a cute friendly childrens character
Kappa did there jail time now there law abiding citizens
Yeah, like how fairies/faeries have changed from dangerous, mischievous creatures that, for a few examples, kidnap, enslave and steal your name, to cute flying tiny ladies in flower petal dresses

@@frankiesteinsbbg the difference is their origins and generally personality/depiction, they're alike in appearance in recent times but they're super different nonetheless imo :)
Honestly, I believe whatever you do with your game is your business because you paid for it in the first place so you should make it fun and exciting for yourself :D
It's really interesting, my first introduction to Animal Crossing is the Wii version of the game. As my family couldn't really afford the other Nintendo consoles. So while the game is wildly hated, I still hold the game to my heart as not only it further help me with personal issues, but be into animal crossing.
That’s so sweet!! That’s how I feel about my first pokemon game, pokemon pearl. It’s so unpopular because people hated the map, pacing and slow loading times but I loved it and still do!
It was really weird to me how Izzy talks about the Wii like it's generally seen as a bad console. I remember when it first came out many people hated it cause they were like, allergic to motion controls, but other than that I've never seen anyone clowning on the Wii like this anywhere else
Also I totally feel that, it sucks to see a game (or any form of media) that had such a strong impact on you receive so much hate online. Happened to me with Sonic Unleashed for a looong time. Until people finally realized that it's actually a pretty cool game. That kinda tends to happen with Sonic games lol
I thought City Folk was alright, but it definitely didn't keep my attention nearly as long as any of the other entries. Not quite sure what it was, I think Izzy may have hit the nail on the head in saying AC should have stayed a portable game once it went on DS.
Ok one thing I don’t understand is why Nintendo didn’t just make star trees an actual item since they were so damn popular
I feel like the main reason they haven't done so if that if the star trees worked like normal fruit trees, players could farm star fragments from them and not have to wish on shooting stars
But at the same time, they could probably very easily code them to where they don't actually drop star fragments so something...
@@sodapopz Oh no I was thinking more or less having them be pure decorative items that can be crafted from star fragments
@@sodapopz i agree about the farming aspect, but they could just despawn if they hit the ground, like when if you shake a fruit tree and it lands on a custom design space. there was really no good reason not to add them into the game after how much they exploded in popularity imo
if they really wanted to make it difficult, they could have locked them behind the golden shovel or something late-game like that. maybe you need a five star island, maybe you need to water it with a golden watering can five times and run around in a circle lol. there's a lot they could've done to make them more worthwhile
Nintendo hates fun, they ALWAYS patch these things. Even in New Leaf they did everything to patch the hacks.
@@sodapopz or they could make them like money trees? One time use period. You would have to choose between the money tree or star tree to plant in shiny spot
Mr resetti genuinely had me in tears once, as a kid, and i kept picking the wrong answers and i finally had to give it to my mom and she spent ten minutes getting it to go through the dialogue
oof
He’s just too much, especially for young children.
Being a barely English speaking 6 year old, resetti got me fucked up 😂
I was so lucky to get Raymond AND Sherb and several other rare villagers to just move in by autofilling or campsite, I believe Raymond was from my first campsite villager. I had now idea what raymond was worth at the time and didn't even know Nookazon existed lol
I was so sad when I found out Resetti wouldn't be in New Horizons, as a kid I spent hours in City Folk looking for him in the city (guided by rumors that you could find him past the barriers next to the bus stop)
My brother ordered a metal CD from an ebay seller and instead of sending the CD, the seller sent him a copy of the Animal Crossing movie. So we own this rare-ish DVD bc of a weird online fluke. Fun times.
lmao wth
I mean, ok. Maybe people would be more willing to deal with "ugly" villagers if they weren't all just copy-pasted personalities. The villagers already have so little to say and are so bland now, that there's no reason to want any villager other than the one of each type you consider the cutest. Like the jock character is gonna say the same thing every time you talk to them, and it really starts to get obnoxious when you have 2 jocks on your island, or 2 sisterly or 2 of anything, because it's basically talking to the same cardboard person twice every day. They might as well be adorable, because they sure as heck are not interesting anymore.
Even so... I didn't have the heart to be mean to Hamlet, I just ignored him until he left. Not to mention that being mean to them doesn't make them move out any faster anyway lol.
@@cevvan Yeah, I can see that. A couple of my favorites are only my favorites because I grew to like them in past games of the franchise. But it's hard to keep feeling that way, imo. I used an amiibo to get my dreamie(Punchy) and the Lazy personality in NH gives him a much different feel than I'm used to, making it feel as though the reason I bonded with that character in the other entries is gone. It shouldn't reflect on the who the player is as a person, imo, it more reflects on the game developers' lack of care, or at least their devotion to blandness in an attempt to make their product incapable of causing offense. There's just not much to make a connection with. :\
Even though I found the "abusing villagers because they're not cute/popular" thing stupid, I do agree that people might as well get whichever villagers they find pretty since there's not much to work with. Like I remember being little during New Leaf and I was obsessed with Marshal. I didn't know he was popular or anything, he just showed up one day and I loved him because it seemed like he was flirting with me and it felt personal. I was excited to get him for New Horizons and when I finally got him after going through hundreds of islands, I was disappointed that all he did was tell me about coffee or fashion 3 times a day. I really hope nintendo makes an update to expand dialogue or villager activities like play dates and games.
I personally really like New Horizons, I’m just a huge fan of those games where you’re completely free to do whatever you want without any real end point
Me too! (is currently playing Pokemon X, 5 years after I actually finished it)
City folk was my first animal crossing game, and my little sister and I loved resetti! We would purposely not save our games to see him, we would scream with laughter when he came on screen. I miss him a lot.
Raymond just randomly moved into an empty lot on my island by chance. He didn't even ask, he just moved in one day. I think that was all my good luck used up all in that one moment of my life, lolol.
I remember he was my first mystery island character and I didn’t even realize the hype around him until a few weeks later when I started seeing memes about him
Yep. He came to my campsite lol
I didnt have this exactly, but I got Beau from my first mystery island, I think thats some of the best luck I've ever had
I had to time travel to get him because I wanted to celebrate his birthday :( Didn't take long but I was already not playing that frequently so when his birthday came around I didn't even go on lol. I restricted time travel for myself and did it for him, just end up not even playing it anymore rip.
i'm new to animal crossing and i play the 2016 one who is raymond ?
46:50 It's a common misconception that this is a glitch. This is actually intentional, and is meant to represent the fact that the game doesn't have any data for your actual character, thus it can't display your normal face. It's meant to remind players to return the player character to their own town after traveling to a friend's town on another memory card.
I remember I wasn't able to get my hands on a Switch until the peak of the Animal Crossing black market and it just happened to be that my very first camper was Raymond. I excitedly told my friends and their first response was "Holy shit, are you going to sell him?" which just felt so surreal that their first thought for my excitement towards getting a villager on my island is that I wanted to sell them
Just shows how far that min/max mindset can take you from the core appeal of the game, the part that makes it fun to humans before they activate the skinner box
its so funny to me how everyone was so obsessed with Raymond and he just randomly moved in when I first got the game and I didn't realise how lucky I got

I'll be honest, as someone who has played for as long as they can remember, New Horizons let me down slightly, I missed the sassy way villagers would talk back to you and the spark and charm it gave them.
The dialogue when talking to villagers in acnh is immensely disappointing.
Not only that but the co-op mini games are all but gone, the holidays are terrible compared to New leaf (they're just collect quests), the coffee shop is gone, the breakable tools are a really stupid game mechanic and having to collect resources all the time without being able to create en masse takes an exorbitant amount of time and takes away from what is otherwise enjoyable game play. As a new leaf stan, it was just a barren new leaf that left me wanting more and I quickly stopped playing after just a few months.
@@Meliaison There’s a new update for animal crossing that came out a few weeks ago.
@@angelblue5947 That's the thing; I hope Nintendo will continue to patch in some "missing" things from earlier games that fans loved and continue to improve their game through those updates.
They have the technology to do so, so I just hope they keep on adding small nice things that fans love. c:
yes the replies are so bland, but the new update has given them a bit more of their old character back :)
When ACNH came out, there were ton of missing features from previous games. I noticed a HUGE drop off of interest after a few months, but I'm happy to get these new updates with things like the shopping center on Harvs Island, the Coffee shop, and even the much more fleshed out DLC Happy Home Designer. It's actually super fun with actual objectives and rewards!
BTW .. Resetti can be found now in the coffee shop update!
HHD should always have been what it is with NH instead of a standalone, tbh. The way it is now just adds that extra facet NH was missing in the beginning as well as fleshes HHD itself out so much more.
Me and my friend would find out what villager we shared names with and would make fun of each other based on the ugliness of the villagers. Good times.
Everyone acted like the focus on how villagers look was a new thing with the New Horizons community, but that absolutely wasn't the case. The villager trading and selling market on New Leaf was big, and popular villagers were expensive and difficult to acquire. Even moreso than in New Horizons because you had less control over which villagers you got. Even in previous games, people had their preferences.
And really, the discourse of "picking villagers based on looks is shallow!" is really stupid when you take into account that there are only eight different personality types between hundreds of villagers. The only thing that sets Raymond apart from Olaf or any of the other Smug villagers is appearance. Appearance is all you have to go on.
god yeah people all seem to forget about all villagers of the same personality type have the exact same dialogue ignoring catchphrases and nicknames. if you have a full village you WILL have personality repeats so you might as well go for the cutest villagers, right?
ac has turned more into a gacha type system where villagers are there for looks
as much as I am an over sensitive little man, I feel like people need to calm down when they say it's shallow and stuff like that. You are not sparing the fictional animal's feelings but you might be upsetting a real person's good time.
To be fair, New Leaf *is* the title that started the trend of shallow dialogue and better customisation. NH just took what NL had put on the table to the extremes. I definitely played GC and WW by... kinda roleplaying, feeling part of this little community, growing attached or resentful towards these little animals. There was SO MICH quirky dialogue, they rarely felt really the same. By NL it was much more of an aesthetic, relaxing game and I (and many else) lost interest in actually interacting with characters, and started hunting for prettier ones. It's not a good or a bad thing... It's just, animal crossing has been two pretty separate things. The gameplay and goals of WW are wildly different from those of NH.
Yeah it would make the game even better to polish it off with better dialogue. But when your main audience rn wants customisation and aesthetics and cuteness, writing in quirky dialogue will take more resources, potentially alienate some of your customers, and not rack in any new profit anyways (people will still buy the game regardless).
So yeah in NH I think it was simply meant to be like that. People are just reminiscent of other AC games where characters had personalities.
P00
I remember Raymond was my first villager to be set up in my camp, I was so confused when people were paying thousands for him
Yeah I got him in the campsite too. So I invited him because I thought his design was nice lol.
I got Audie and Stitches without even trying. I don't even want Stitches, bro. (Audie's a good friend though!)
I got Shino as the first guest in my campsite lol. Am new to the game so it was the same for me when I saw so many people going crazy for her

@@Rain_boot Isn't that basically the dirt paths in New Horizons tho?
Easy, make it possible to undo by allowing the player to re-seed the grass. As long as grass seed isn't too much of a pain to get and grass doesn't deteriorate too fast, it should be fine.
@@equidistanthoneyjoy7600 I agree. Making it easy to reseed grass would help, because the grass deterioration is really cool to me. There is a name for a type of path that humans make simply for walking around but I forgot :( they're very cute though!

I have been giggling over this for like a solid two minutes
I used to “work” for an ACNH Treasure Island, and we had a whole scandal where one TI wanted to be the only one, so they started reporting and doxxing other players in order to have their islands shut down. There is a TON of drama surrounding the hacked side of animal crossing, it could probably be a video all on its own
I’ve been in a few discord servers with treasure islands available, and I can confirm that they are very toxic and there’s so much unnecessary drama that arises over the most random things?? I just wanted turnips man,,
Nokemon Network is the worst one. The owner A is extremely toxic and classist. He’s a 30 year old bum whos making money off these treasure islands(which is completely illegal lmao) and pressuring children to donate to him. He said in his discord server yesterday that people were being entitled and “pretending to be poor” and “making excuses” to not donate to him. People who do treasure islands really seem like scumbags
Dang,, I'm only in two Discords featuring TIs but they're really wholesome. Like these people spend so much time just giving away items, bells, even villagers for free to make other happy. I'm sure it depends on who's running them and what their motivations are.
oof that sucks.. Yeah, I'm in a discord sort of like a treasure island but they also have bots so you can order items and go pick them up from the said island. And they're really nice because they want to stop people from buying from assholes like that
I got a switch and ACNH for christmas and my mum spent the first like two days watching me play it. I made her a character on my island because she seemed to like it so much... a week later she bought a second switch and her own copy of the game so she didn't have to use mine lmao
It's become something we can enjoy sharing tips and tricks about :)
The no ones around to help Bob dancing thing actually originally comes from the game A Hat In Time! When you die, hat kid dances on your screen like that :)
Dang, honestly those star piece trees look super pretty, I feel like they should have just patched them in as a legitimate gameplay feature. It'd get rid of the cheating issue while still letting people use them to decorate their islands
I agree.
Honestly from the pics, you can clearly see they were just aesthetic purposes, like you shake that tree and everything disappears lmao (flowers and stuff)
i feel like a lot of the animal crossing community has more recently dubbed themselves as the most "wholesome" fandom, but in reality i think it's pretty toxic considering the villager trading with real money and people bullying raymond fans for liking a cutely designed character
Ya but to be fair no one likes a stan they're insane. Especially those fan girls uhhhh
TBH It always came to the combination of pandemic, the game going mainstream, and the awful awful world of clout chasing and social media. As a player of AC for over a decade, I want to disassociate myself from those people, they aint worth it and never will they will.
@@dragonslayer101 The fact htat they are proud to be called "basic bitches" and "toxic" says a lot

Yea its sad but like every community there always flaws i totally agree people can get heated over a charter desing its crazy
city folk has the most special place in my heart. i remember being SO excited for it to release as a kid, i got a poster of it and hung it up in my room and counted down every day until it came out. when it did, me and my friend would call each other's landlines and visit each other's towns and play together for up to 9 hours a day. i wish i still had the game, my mom leant it to some kids who fucked it up so bad that the case was full of ant eggs, but id love to have it again as its the only mainline game of the 4 that im missing :)
Funny to note, after the advent of The Roost with the 2.0 update, Resetti will make rare appearances in there drinking coffee.

Also, the reason I love and encourage animal crossing hacking is all of those incredible story villages that people have made. Most of them use placements and items that can't be achieved without hacking and wouldn't be as amazing without them.
Hacking or a lot of effort, anyway. By the time my town was nearly done I had like 300 hours into the game, and still had sections that weren't complete (No time travelling and all that so it took several months). Not against hacking at all, used to use the codes in the gamecube version all the time, but wanted to enjoy Horizons the "intended way." Its a casual game though, its like being mad at pokemon fans for not nuzlocking every entry they buy (or competitive players for hacking pokemon in. As someone who's done breeding there's a very valid reason why they do and are allowed to do so).
