Animal Crossing Conspiracy Theories That Will Change Everything From Every Animal Crossing Game

- From Animal Crossing New Horizons, to New Leaf, Wild World, City Folk, and the original on Gamecube, what if things aren't as they seem? Let's look at some fo the wildest conspiracy theories in this iceberg type video!
/ rocketelijah - Hry
My theory on the night clowns is that the villagers are referring to the players that are up at all hours of the night playing, and they hear them running around outside. 😂
Thats actually a pretty funny explanation!
That actually would make sense! It’s really funny too!
that’s genius
That definitely makes sense with that 3 AM song, which I’ve always joked is the game calling me a clown for playing so late.
12:29 I mean, the name Coco is only in the international versions. Her name in Japanese is Yayoi, the same name as a period in ancient Japanese history around the Ice Age, which is about when the haniwa first started appearing in the archeological record. The localization team probably thought that her face looked enough like a coconut that they just went with a reference more recognizable to a worldwide audience.
that, and yayoi translates to "new life." this in relation to coco is probably because yayoi in japan is another name for march, which her birthday is in, but I still thought it was a neat detail.
oh! there's also the fact that in new leaf, her house felt like some sort of cremation room, further supported by the gyroids in the house AND her house's music being kk dirge
Honestly I really agree! This is the only thing I think the mark was missed on, Coco even has rings around her head and arms, just like gyroids do - she's just so clearly pottery! Her catchphrase sounding similar to a gyroid with "doyoing" is the last nail in the coffin for me, the only evidence for her being a coconut is her name and the holes in her face, the holes that look the same as a gyroid too.
I honestly could not be convinced this girl is just designed to be a coconut 😂
Just came here to say this. Lol
okay thank you this is really interesting and I'm so so sorry but I thought you said coco's Japanese name was yaoi and I was about to start crying
About Tom Nook: It's confirmed by a thing in Wild World (something most players would never see first hand, because of not knowing of the "episodic" series of conversations, that is exclusive to that game, and I'm not misinterpreting with the Able Sisters, who's had a similar way of storytelling in nearly every Animal Crossing game) that Tom Nook is actually showing you mercy. Let me explain: On certain days of the year, you may get a special conversation with special villagers in your town. For Tom Nook, he explains why he patiently waits for you to pay your debt to him, instead of with a deadline like real life does that. The reason being: He hates how cruel the city life can be with needing to pay off a debt for your home costs. So, to do the same, but without the cruelty of a deadline to pay off or you're out, he does give you a debt to pay off, like irl, but he shows mercy to you to not need to worry about not being able to pay off your house debts by a time limit. He will patiently wait however long it may take for you to pay it off, and if he has to pay the price of being seen as the villain, he's willing to take that price for your sake. That episodic mechanic of Wild World also explains Tom Nook's bad history with Crazy Redd, and why he hates him so much. Long ago, Crazy Redd got Tom Nook wrapped up in a "get rich quick" scam. After being the victim of Crazy Redd's scam, he lost everything. And rather than allow his close friend Sable (yes, they are friends from a very long time ago) or anyone else, to aid him in his moment of being in a seriously bad situation, Tom Nook pushed everyone away who wanted to help him. This proves, that Tom Nook is the goodguy of Animal Crossing, and Crazy Redd is evil. And don't let that old Nintendo Power issue's poll of sorts' results fool you, Crazy Redd is NOT the goodguy, nor misunderstood, and Tom Nook is not evil. Rather, the reverse is true. Tom Nook is misunderstood, and Crazy Redd is evil.
Another thing about Nook comes from Happy Home Designer, where he states that he donates 90% of his earnings to an orphanage.
Who knows what Redd does with the money he makes off of people.
@@tobysinbad isn't redd a guy though? and also i saw a theory on how redd actually has like tons of baby cousins that he has to feed that's why he's doing this shady business but idk i'm just enjoying the game trying not to get to the dark side of it but i still want to know the dark side of it so it's kind of a double edged sword lol
The gyroid face is mentioned in the official Japanese guide book. It's intended and never ever was a glitch.
do you have a link to a pdf? I'd like to read it
same, Id also like to see this! (not trying to imply youre lying but its interesting!)
Resetti put the face on you as a punishment
He also stole all your items
@@Sonictheoofhog4 Did you just look at the game theory video
@@lecturne3604 what game theory??
The 7pm music of New Leaf is probably my favorite Animal Crossing song of all time! I think it's so beautiful and have never once thought of it as unsettling or creepy. Solemn, melancholic, maybe even a little lonely sounding? Yes. But scary? Never.
Fr and it's so beautifully nostalgic now to hear it again I almost shed a tear when I heard it
Same for me. I actually bought my first ever 3ds a 2 months ago and played new leaf for the first time during 7pm (i only played new horizons before) and heard that song and I was like "omg new leaf has such a good music"
It sounds very relaxing and cozy to me, but never scary
Headcannon: the humans are being kept on the mainland to protect them from extinction, kind of like real life humans protecting endangered animals. The villagers are there to guard/protect you and also for company.
I usually rush through the conversations with my villagers. Before 2.0 the dialogue was so repetitive and dull. But one day (after 2.0) I was talking to zucker and I randomly decided to pay attention. The revelation of him figuring out he’s essentially in the Matrix was one of the most unsettling things I’ve experienced in a video game in some time. I was so caught off guard and disturbed. Honestly, I kind of wish the game had more experiences like this.
I think that dialogue was actually pre-2.0! I remember seeing a TikTok of Hornsby saying it.
SAME LIKE MY FILBERT JUST STARTED SPIRALING
How did we have the exact same experience?
With ai tech here now I would like to have in the next game have them be aware and have their own dialogue/ self personalities
my zucker said it too
Kappas are actually sometimes depicted as evil doers, involved in stories of violence, sexual assault and all sort of other abuse and evil deeds.
They were feared in old japan, but nowadays they are just seen as silly folklore characters who do pranks and everyone is aware they are fake. That is probably on that "new" version of Kappas that the game take inspiration from
Yea, "old" kappas were depicted eating people and stuff (specifically children I think? could be wrong, maybe it was told to kids to make them be safe around rivers), they were often very evil unless befriended/tricked with one of it's weaknesses making it serve you 😅
@@testerwulf3357yeah, it’s also said they did “stuff” to (young) women :(
apparently in Japanese waters that you wanted to swim in, you had to carve your name into a cucumber and toss it into the water and the kappas that live there wouldn't attack you. No wonder kappn likes them so much.
I heard a couple years ago that they straight up Drown women and children.
Aika village and Aika island were made by the same person. They documented their progress on twitter in 2020
What’s their twitter?
there is a lot of story to Aika, specifically the whole "killed the dog and drowned herself" story.
1:15 Dirge is pronounced with a soft g, like "dirj". A dirge is a song or poem that is performed at a funeral for the deceased. Perhaps you could have explored that...
Someone write a dirge for me, because "dir-gay" killed me 😅
Came here to say the same thing haha
Dare gay lol. I'm here literally to explain to him what a dirge was.
When it comes to New Leafs 7pm music, I legit always felt it sounded strange not necessarily “scary” but just uncomfortable because at a certain point (like a few seconds in) it always felt like to me there was something urgent like a “the clock is ticking” feeling. I can’t really explain why but that’s what I always felt from it
I remember playing Animal crossing for the first time and being actually scared as a kid because I thought it was some horror mode or such haha.
@@grelllestrange6175 Thing is, at one point during development if I recall, they were gonna make it have dungeons and stuff like that. So maybe some of the stuff carried over musically lol
@@hyruleanhermit Omg this would make sense!
that clock is ticking feeling is actually trained into us as people to some extent. In many games once you start hitting night time they realize they are running out of time for that day and thus need to rush to get whatever they are doing done. But Also in the real world, night time tends to be winding things down or sometimes rushing a bit to get the day finished first because many people are naturally taught that the night time isn't for really being active at a young age. It's something that gets transferred onto games like animal crossing as well, partly for the genre that it is a part of. it's something not a lot of people are even aware of when it comes to these kinds of feelings.
@@Quandry1 Yeah that makes sense :) But you'd think it'd come at a later time (at least imo)
animal crossing.
Animal Crossing!
😱😱
The animals do be crossing
animal crossing.
Daddy crossing
Headcanon: Peppy villagers are actually very stressed and really want basements so that they can scream.
thats dark
@@0RB1TSTUD10SHow's that dark,if you think about it, maybe peppy villagers are'nt always happy.
that basement screaming bit can also come from jocks! I've had dom talk to me about working out and screaming in his basement. Maybe all personality types have a line?
The kappa theory is interesting because in new leaf he actually sings about sea monsters being misunderstood.
Another thing about Kapp'n: There is even more signs of him being a Kappa, not just his design. He seems to have a heavy obsession with cucumbers, which if I remember right, was one of the things you could use to make Kappas go away, by giving it to them. But it's been a very long time since I last did some research online about Yokai, so I may not be 100% right on that.
You’re correct. And he’s definitely a Kappa though I do hear in some stories that they do kidnap children, that is to deter kids from the water.
There seems to be both a light hearted and darker version of these yokai stories
one of my friends used to say that shari’s limbs were yellow because she was always playing with piss or something like that - now i have to tell her that she was actually right 😭
For the night clown entry... They may be talking about the 3am music. It's very much sounds like "clown music" and definitely happens during the night!
It could also be a bad translation implying tricksters or pranksters in the town pulling pranks at night. Bad translation make so many odd ball and sometimes unintentionally or twisted into creepy or strange dialogues amongst other things.
@@Quandry1Can't really be helped, but it makes more fun for us.
15:52 The key on the fake Academic painting is on that specific painting BECAUSE it is a reference to the DaVinci Code. The academic painting is a DaVinci drawing and as far as I know only the fake paintings have weird Easter eggs on the back
Coco was indeed inspired after haniwa. In the Japanese version of the game, her name is “Yayoi” which is also the name of a historic era in Japan. Any Japanese would clearly recognize the relationship.
Of course, it doesn’t make sense to call her “Yayoi” in the English version because no one would get the reference. So they named her after something that Westerners would recognize: a coconut.
i absolutely love the 7pm theme. i didnt know people thought it was creepy. i used to play new leaf all the time when i was younger, mostly at night due to school. i loved hearing it and used to listen to it in order to fall asleep, its so calming
Honestly I find the new leaf 7pm music to be very calming and tranquil. I’ve always had a connection to it since I played the game a lot when I was younger around 7pm so I’ve always loved it.
7 pm always made me feel hopeful for some reason. like a fresh start to life like a main character finally getting to the destination and they’re full of opportunity
Older video games were just another feeling… can‘t explain exactly, but the fact that back then small mistakes or hidden eastereggs from game designers resulted in hella scary experiences for us players (in the best way possible!)
Sad this feeling is gone in new games for me
With the whole Kapp'n and kappas thing, there are actually some stories of kappas kidnapping and drowning children, though they seem to just do that to anyone who comes too near their territory.
The 7pm music is my favorite. I don't see it as creepy, but it does feel sorrowful to me.
Ye I agree I’ve always loved the 7pm music
I think the reason why people find the 7pm music unsettling is because it sounds urgent due to the repeating notes (like a chase sequence in a horror movie) and also the fact it sounds unfinished and repeats the same notes over and over again
1:14
A dirge is what you play at a funeral, essentially. I think that's why it was on the list, not just because it sounds scary
I have some feelings about the 7pm song.
Keep in mind, these are just my thoughts and aren't based on any like... scientific stuff. xD
When I listen to 7pm music, it evoces a feeling of a sky clearing up from rain, calming into a light drizzle.
Now, the thing about rain, that people can have both inherent feelings about rain, and feelings based on the context surrounding the rain in the moment.
Rain can be a calming, pleasant sound, it's why a lot of 'calming rain sounds to help you sleep' videos exist. Light summer drizzles can be pleasant, especially in the heat of the summer.
But rain can also be scary. If you're alone at home with the lights offand with the sound of rain and wind outside, it can be unsettling. Some people just don't like rain in general, as their mood is more sensitive to weather changes.
Rain can also have the ability to invoke a sense of 'liminal space' if put in certain scenarios, giving an uneasy feel where otherwise there would be none.
So, in conclusion, how you feel about 7pm song might have great overlap of how you'd be feeling about rain in that moment.
That's just my theory, anyway. c:
I play the original AC and I had a conversation with one of my villagers (I think it was Rio.) They talked about how they noticed that trees dissapear when chopped down, leaving only the stump. Very weird how they aware of gamaplay mechanics in this way. So, 4th wall breaks always existed in the series (excluding Mr. Resetti.)
I swear Flurry is the creepiest character she literally has a caged hamster in her house (she is a hamster villager) and Hypno K.K is always playing, her house gives off the creepiest vibes! IDK how I’ve never heard anyone else mention how creepy this is before?!
I like to imagine that Flurry's hamster is actually her child, and just in a hamster cage because it's still a baby. After all, they are both white.
Idk,I like flurry but honestly,she seems kinda creepy the way you talk about her.Then again I like how simple she is.I like simple villagers
I remember I was letting Pietro go (I think giving him to someone) and replacing him with a lazy via amiibo- that lazy being Beau. Beau said Pietro mentioned the night clowns, which is really weird because Pietro is a clown.
8:11 Big talk from someone who didn’t even Google what a dirge is, let alone how to say the word 😂
On my island I have a horror theme, I made Raymond’s house an american psycho-esque killer theme and nearly died on the spot when he randomly come out with the basement screaming dialogue 😭
I really need someone to talk about Animal Crossing wild world and how some villagers can apparently go into a “depression” they basically act sick but no matter how much medicine you give them they are still always sick until they eventually “move away”. It is apparently due to clashing personalities of villagers and allegedly you can talk to Nook at a certain time to get special medicine to cure them but idk, I don’t see many people talk about it and I’m so interested in it
I had it happen when I was a kid where Lucky was always sick at home and no matter how much medicine I gave him he was always sick, then he moved away and Pate took his place. I need to know I’m not crazy and people know anything about this!!!
I played Wild World, it's true that some villagers were still sick for at least a week (or longer) but if you gave them medicine every day, they cured
But if they stay that much time sick it's maybe because of depression ?
In Wild World expression/noises of a sick villager are the same as when they feel very sad after a bad conversation with another villager
@@dreambeast759 I heavily looked into this, Wild Worlds sick mechanic was super finicky. Often times villagers would be endlessly sick for weeks no matter how much medicine and then would just move away because the game itself was broken. People even found a glitch that if you open your twin gates it cures your villagers.
The “Depression” was a lie, I was told it as a kid and I firmly believed it until recently LMAO
I'm convinced that the Animal Crossing world is some kind of Spirited Away kind of situation
Dirge rhymes with "splurge," btw.
as far as i know, coco is canonically made of terra cotta, and her furniture and the things she talks about is very heavily japanese inspired.
16:28 there was a fanfic during the wild world days called camp that followed a similar line of thought, and literally nobody i talk to remembers it. it truly feels like a horror fever dream i had in, like, 2008
I'm pretty sure I remember reading that! It was accompanied with photos from the game and Tom Nook was like the one behind it all
@@UltraHylia YEAH oh my god i'm so glad someone else remembers it
hi elijah i just wanna say i’ve been following/subscribed for a few months. i’ve been playing since city folk days but your videos intrigue me more into animal crossing. 💞
A tiny thing you forgot, the kk dirge song, dirge is a song that is played to communicate with the dead, so yeah.
Oh God I remember the 7pm soundtrack making 11yo young me uncomfortable for no reason and I feel so understood knowing that people out there felt the same?? I could never pinpoint why it was or if I was just imagining that feeling. Today I find it pleasant but it definitely made child me feel uneasy
Loving this channel lol I've been watching these obsessively while I'm at work 😂
Raddle is my favorite and if you look into him and work on his friendship he tells you he's studying to be a Dr. but later you learn that he can't be a Dr. because he is a poisonous frog and saddest thing i found was that he wanted to treat his own poison so he wouldn't hurt people but he doesn't get to... He is my favorite and i love him on my island.
The night clowns are just the players goofy ass up at 3am on a Tuesday tryna get that one damn fish.
I love 7PM new leaf, but I see how some people think it have a negative aura, I also get a slight negative aura when listening to it, but its nostalgic aura instead a negative aura, and I haven't play new leaf, yet I can remember when I first heard it on CZcams. So maybe it's not a negative aura, but a nostalgic aura that reminds you of something in the past that you don't quite remember but you remember the song, it has such a unique tune, that it can feel negative. When I first heard it, it reminded me of the outside and nature, because I first heard in in Paracosm Party's first video, which was about new Pikmin creature ideas, but other had different experiences with this song, which could give it creepy aura to it, just as an idea.
Idk what other way to describe the 7pm song but it feels like there's a looming threat out of my control and I don't have enough time to fix it. It makes me anxious and scared and honestly I really don't know if it's just a me thing when it comes to this specific feeling but yeah that song messes with me lol
After I first heard it I would sometimes go out of my way to avoid playing, at least in town, at seven. Usually I would go to the island and catch bugs during that hour, or wait till later.
The 7 pm music is interesting, I wouldn’t say it’s creepy as such but certain notes like the lower tones that go into sudden higher tones and visa versa do give off a sense of uneasiness.
Similar sounds have been used in suspense and old horror movies.
Don’t forget if this was a young child playing most of the time they would not hear this tune because they wouldn’t be playing so late in the day.
Nah dude, I had Barold on my first ACNH island and he had a dirt flooring and a cottage/food vibe going on and would constantly talk about the bugs in his floor liking certain objects that you'd give him. I've never seen the security thing at all after having him on my island for over 3-4 years
that's probably because he was your lazy starter. All starter villagers get the default starter interiors associated with their personality, only the other five have their own interiors.
The gyroid face thing is completely intended.
The GameCube release had a feature where you could load your character onto a second memory card so you could take it to a friend’s town to visit. However, the developers didn’t want to lock you out of playing if you forgot the memory card at your friend’s house, so they implemented a backup way to play (They called it a “Dopel” iirc).
i recently got ac new leaf and the first theme i heard was 7pm
the piano is what makes it scary in my opinion, it is just the same notes over and over again, like it is anticipating something to happen
the other side of the song is really good in my opinion
I used to be terrified of the 7pm music in New Leaf when I was little! I must have been about six or seven, I was so scared I used to hide in my house or other buildings until 8pm so I wouldn’t hear it…I think I remember hiding with Tom Nook in Nook’s Homes until it closed at 8pm since he was (and still is) my favourite, and I felt safe with him. Looking back I actually love the music! It’s very calming. I was just talking about it to my friend yesterday and how we both used to be scared of it! It’s so interesting how lots of other people used to find it unsettling too.
I think the gyroid face is just the placeholder face, other games from that time period, like Final Fantasy 7, also had the "O" mouth placeholder texture. I think the voids are just to be the placeholder texture for positioning the mouth and eyes, and also functionally is a fallback if the face data can't be read properly.
The 7 o'clock music was unsettling to me... at least the piano part was (the rest of the music was fine)
I thought I was the only one lol
and I've watched the Densle series, and I LOVE it!! I forget what the newest episode was when I first found it, but it was early on (it might've been 3 or 4- depending on what episode 3 and episode 4 are lol)
the “raddle is toxic” point made me go down a small rabbit hole, because a while ago i heard that poison dart frogs can lose their toxicity if theyre not in the wild. they gain their toxicity from their food source, but they have the chance of losing that toxicity when theyre in captivity. i cannot find an exact type of bug to answer “this is the insect species that gives poison dart frogs their poison!”, if anyone knows the answer to this, please feel free to tell me (or correct me on any of this, i am more knowledgeable about marine species than frogs). but that also begs the question-does animal crossing qualify as the wild, or captivity? does raddle come to your island with high levels of toxicity, and he loses his toxins the longer hes on your island? is he still eating insects along with proper food that he/your villager makes? there is MUCH to think about. i only care so much because raddle is my second favourite villager behind étoile. peace and love on planet earth
19:42. I have never owned new leaf. I have never played or watched anyone play new leaf. As soon as you mentioned 7PM I went to listen. I immediately thought “Wait, I used to listen to this all the time! Oohhh wait does pocket camp have the same ost as new leaf..? That might be how I’d know it.” I came back the the video and wtf… it’s super relaxing but still. I swear I’ve heard it and the funny thing is is pretty unique too! Not a generic track.
Lol, 7pm has always creeped me out for some reason since i was a young kid. Idk why, needless to say i did not like playing then. The 8pm theme was sweet relief.
This isn’t a conspiracy theory bc it just happened but Candi asked me to come visit her and the visit was normal and then out of nowhere homegirl told me not to go looking around places I shouldn’t in her house and then implied that she committed a crime so, that’s cannon apparently. I just wanna know what crime she committed
Tammi does that to me all the time and it's kinda creepy, especially coming from her. She's always so cheery and friendly .
@@davel2990 those were my thoughts with candi!! She’s always so cute and wholesome and then all of a sudden she was telling me to keep my hands in my pockets lol
Personally I find Graham's house (ACNH) to be pretty weird.
It's similar to Bards' but right on the entrance (as if it was hidden, bc rarely you'd look on top of the door frame behind you) there are a bunch of pics of Christine and Francine
I mean, Chrissy and Francine in ac are literally pop stars, so I think its just Graham is just a Fanboy tbh. If it were pictures of just normal villagers then yes it would be creepy, but considering they're both two super stars that literally created a song, I like to think its the same as people irl having posters of their favourite singers and bands
@@Shiba_Drawsyep he totally seems like a reference to these 40 something Japanese men who go to these cute pop idol concerts and buy their merch etc
11:46 once one of my smug villagers said "i waited for my arms to heal, did you know nobody can hear me screaming from my basement?" out of nowhere, arms were not brought up in the conversation he just said that randomly
i find the new leaf 7pm music thing so interesting lmao personally i love the song but i did always feel like it stood out from the other hourly tracks. and not in a "better than the rest" type of way but more like it almost has a completely different vibe. and because of that it did make the game itself feel different somehow, but i never thought of it as a negative thing. more like the day is winding down type of feel. which i guess sometimes that feeling can be bittersweet. i suppose 7pm is kind of when it gets dark in game too, and when it's dark ~spooky~ things happen LMAO. actually now that i think about it, maybe it's because 7pm is at twilight? which is also a time of day that's considered bittersweet. zelda fans know what i mean lmao. with that in mind, it makes me wonder about wet dry world which is said to have a "negative" aura too. because that could be considered the "twilight" of mario 64, so maybe what people are really feeling is just the bittersweet feeling that the game will be over soon? obviously in animal crossing there is no end lmao but with 7pm being at twilight it just evokes the same feeling on a smaller scale.
I think the Gyroid face glitch is actually really cute! I'd love to do that if I had a gamecube.
cute?!
i agree.
Bits and pieces of 7PM remind me of some songs from Yoshi's Story. Particularly Tall Tower and Yoshis in the Wind, I think. These two songs are highly nostalgic to me, and nowadays 7PM is also highly nostalgic to me due to the typical Beetle grind at the Island.
I think there's a bit of a lonely vibe to it, since most of my memories of it would be me laying in bed alone and traveling back and forth from the beach to Re-Tail to sell all the bugs and fish from the basket. Sometimes I'd start the grind late and I'd be met with 2 or even 3am which was a warning sign that I should hurry up and sell my stuff (Night Owl Ordinance gang babyy) and go to sleep. I'd also usually be half asleep by this point anyway. Closing times are really smart for a game like this, though, because it did encourage me not to stay up too late (even though 2am is still probably too late).
Tangent aside, I think 7PM is more of a relaxing song to me, signifying the end of a day leading to a good night's sleep. I'm not sure I fully understand the eerie factor of it, but I suppose it is a bit of a wonky song with a strange, all-over-the-place sound to it. It was generally 2 and 3 am that had me feeling a bit more uneasy.
i just happen to have both lucky and walker on my island lol, i had no idea there was some conspiracy around them. they’re both really sweet but also they have basically the exact same lines with a few minor differences, so in the future i might boot one of them in the interest of not having two of (basically) the same villagers
The reason why they say the same things is because they have the same personality ! Sadly there is only very little personality types in me horizons😢
OH MY GOD I WAS SO SHOCKED WHEN ONE OF MY LAZY VILLAGERS BROKE THE FOURTH WALL-- I genuinely thought my game was gonna end right then and there holy.. 😭
it's a long standing dev joke to mess with people that don't read the dialogues and jsut skip through everything because they don't catch the dialogue and those pieces. been in animal crossing for ages and you can find it in other games from time to time. Even BG3 which is a brand new game has a bit of it. Mostly through willful re-interpretation of what is happening combined with suggestive key phrases.
19:29 when I was 8 or 7 I had gotten the game animal crossing new leaf for Christmas from my cousin and I remember playing it one time at 7 pm I would think a monster had spawned in the game and was coming for me of course this sounds ridiculous, also does anyone think the 4am song is pretty eerie too?
I like that they added some clips from the fan made thriller.
The fact this was uploaded on my birthday yesterday, I was happy.
I am one of the people that think that acnl 7 p.m. music is the best song in the whole franchise. That song gives me so much nostalgia. I regularly listen to it, most of the time when I`m going to sleep or just feel sad. It's so comforting to me :)
The 7pm theme kind of sounded like a soothing song with a horror music sound track played in the background. Something about it reminded me of the high pitched strings that some horror movies use.
Ohhhh i love your videos it makes me so intrigued.
I just wanted to say that I'm pretty sure that some Kappa's will be like a Siren and lure people into the water and drown them.
My smug villager, Phil, had the same basement line. It caught me off guard.
In one version of animal crossing, i can't remember which one, kapp'n would say some kinda creepy things to you if you had your gender as female, despite the fact that he has a wife and a child
I believe wild world he says something along „if you don’t have the money to pay for the ride I could also take you to dinner“ or something like that. Basically it was like, you can’t pay me? Go on a date with me!
@@HuinTokki i can't remember but i think it was something along the lines of that, yeah
with the thing you said about a smug villager hurting his arm in the basement after you where offline for a long time is accurate, I get that a lot, and only after I havn't been online for a while
the remixed halo music in this video did not go unnoticed by your fellow halo connoisseur, thank you.
Alternate title: Animal Crossing CZcamsr Doesn’t Understand What “Conspiracy” Means for 22 Minutes
I’d love a deep dive into the short story animations!
the movie came out recently! watch it, i watched it in one whole sitting since I'm a big fan of the Densle shorts.
great vid as always but there were a few editing hitches that felt pretty jarring
the 7pm music on animal crossing new leaf always sceard me
I remember doing the gyroid face intentionally a few times after I discovered it. If I remember correctly, if you try to use the train to visit another town with a different character than the character you reset with, it won't let you because of it, with dialog saying that the train was busy? I can't remember fully what was said but if I am remembering that correctly and there was dialog implemented in the game for the player to not be able to visit another town because the other character you resetted with is apparently there wouldn't that make it intentional and not a glitch?
Idk I'll have to play again soon I still have the game.
When i played animal crossing new leaf i felt like the 7pm song was so scary and I still think that. It just makes me feel like someone's watching me from the distance as I play the game.
Reminds me a lot of the animal crossing fan movie called the mask
Maybe, Lucky is just a cosplayer.
Also, i think i have figured out the definition of “Night clowns”. It’s a metaphor.
It means: “A group of people joking around and talking, at a late night.”
Hope this makes sense
the 4th wall lazy villagers and tom nook one. ive seen the mask movie and i wonder if those two were partly inspiration for that fan movie
KK sliders’s song from the beginning kinda reminds me of the song that plays in ocarina of time when the great deku tree tells link to find the sacred stones.
*Spiritual stones sorry
To add to the purgatory or afterlife theory, I would like to point out that the game is called “animal crossing” which is a sign to warn drivers of animals to avoid… roadkill. In New Horizons, extinct animals (Dodos) act as psychopomps, transporting the dead to the paradise setting of ACNH. Many of the villager types are either common roadkill victims or endangered, and the special villagers are supernatural “between-world” creatures like kappa and tanuki, or the holiday spirits and Wisp. The haniwa spring to life as they are activated in the afterlife where you reside. Your mom could be potentially visiting your grave in the form of letters, saying how she misses you and what she has been up to. As for HHP, you are literally being hired to design personal heavens or “home paradises”… for the deceased. As for Gulliver, I interpret his washing ashore to be him having a “run-in with death” as he continuously falls into the sea from his ship. Resetti is a mole. Moles dig underground, where coincidentally many believe the “underworld” resides.
An aspect, or a few, that is more “reachy” that I could note is the museum perhaps being a symbol of “all questions being answered through death”.
Harv’s Island also seems lost in time because, well, there is no aging when you are a spirit. 60s hippies like Harv and Harriet (whom he probably met in the afterlife) can roam freely as they never lived to see times change. Reese and Cyrus’ love story involves an accident and a hospital trip, Tortimer is elderly and probably passed naturally, Redd has many enemies…
Fortune tellers are known to have a special connection with “the other side”, as Katrina may represent.
I’m probably just going to make a Reddit post about this atp, but I definitely believe a lot of the afterlife (dare I say, CROSSING over…) imagery is absolutely intentional though.
7:15 so I was going to say it was really a missed opportunity to say “Kappn kidnaps kids” but in hindsight, maybe we don’t want that many K’s together
I honestly wish a little more research would go into these videos. This is a problem I've had with this channel for a long time, that interesting details or even surface level explorations aren't sufficient. Most of the comments are usually people correcting you or expanding on points that went over your head entirely. I dunno, I unsubbed before and came back because I thought the content was improving, but the very first entry being well, not researched AT ALL aside from "it's a song in the game" is just... it's really lazy, man.
The 7pm sound track makes me feel like I need to run or hide ASAP from something bad
Does somebody remember the story with the Red doll and the cancer sick girl?
I don't know about you guys but I really love the 7pm song 😅
And about villagers knowing they're in a game, while this next part of this comment is not official, I remember seeing a page of someone's fancomic of Animal Crossing (which the name of the comic I do not remember, nor where I found it by chance) where the player, not the player character, the player themselves, sitting nearby I think was Zucker (I don't entirely remember, I'm very likely wrong about that and it's some other male villager) where the player questions why it's not bothering that villager, to know that he lives in a videogame, which then that villager replies with something along the lines of "As long as I'm real to you, I'm okay with that", not the exact quote from that fan comic, but similar in context to that. I'd link or tell where it was, and what the comic was called, but both of these things I want to do, I no longer have any memories of that which are needed to have me share it
The gyroid face also happened if you left the game on all night, if I remember correctly.
7 pm is creepy, it makes me think like i am lost in a forest and need to get out, or somebody has died and its your sadness..
I've always found 7pm SO unsettling - I used to turn my sound off when it came on, it makes me really anxious for some reason.
I thought I was alone on thinking the 7pm music in New Leaf was creepy. Well it's more unsettling for me than creepy. Like something bad happened, or will happen, and I need to be ready. Though to be fair Ocarina of Time was one of my first 3DS games, and I played it a ton.
I recently start playing ACNL and i also though the 7pm song was a little creepy i feel like something was gonna pop out in that moment
So I've never played anything other than New Horizons but that 7pm New Leaf music honestly does feel EXTREMELY unnerving!
i absolutely love how Isabelle and Doom are in love, it’s just so perfect :)
Pretty sure the face was both a sort of punishment and a form of error handling. It simply prevents your face from turning into a glitchy mess.
