Since I always end up living in a spoOoOky mansion I’ll probably make my town tune the Haunted Mansion organ from the foyer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDJPzvC6H8w

Watching the direct yet again, I'm really hoping for daily quests or the like to have an unlimited source of nook miles. It would feel pretty bad if they eventually ran out.

I imagine it'll be like the system they implemented in the Welcome Amiibo expansion for New Leaf, where you'd have daily and weekly tasks to complete that award coupons (tickets?) that you could exchange for goods at the campground. The tasks were usually quite easy to do, and you got a new set every day/week.

Was listening to some New Horizons music rips (some of which are pretty garbled, but still, amazing soundtrack) and there is this K.K. Slider rendition of the main theme that sounds like a live track, complete with people clapping (the AWOOOO with the crowd doing it in unison after absolutely kills me). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQqAEM4T70E

Cyster posted:1) Accessibility. If you haven't spent time learning how to music, being presented with notes and bars can be downright daunting - and the more space there is for it, the more rope you're given to hang yourself. The town tune maker is presented like a toddler's toy, with funny animals and bright colors. Keeping it to two bars and in C Major means it's simple to grok and hard to get overwhelmed. (It's worth mentioning they've allowed for greater complexity in other places over the years, like patterns, but music in a visual medium brings with it an automatic level of abstraction that's absent in the concept of giving you more space to draw.) Music is the one art thing I never got the hang of making or understanding in school. Mario Paint was the closest I ever felt to understanding how to compose music and I keep wishing someone would make a fruity loops thingy to just make everything into a mario paint version of itself. In AC I just mess with notes until it's something kind of pleasant I won't mind sprinkled around.

If you can craft a lovely stick net, I’m sure you can craft fancier nets. Thought never occurred to me but yay!

So as someone that hasn't played since the Gamecube days, how exactly did they water down the villager personalities like people were saying upthread? As an old man adult who was a (much younger) adult at the time of that games' release, a lot of the charm of playing a game like this was their weirdo responses and personalities. Did they write these out of existence or something, or am I just fretting over a couple people's posts? Pakistani Brad Pitt fucked around with this message at 00:14 on Mar 3, 2020 |

As an old man adult who was a (much younger) adult at the time of that games' release, a lot of the charm of playing a game like this was their weirdo responses and personalities. Its a few things. 1: Villagers had a set personality (Jock, Normal, Peppy etc) and a sub-personality. This made it so two snooty villagers would have the same general pool of lines to repeat, but also had a few unique ones based on the secondary trait. It helped them feel more unique that way (unless I'm misremembering mind) 2: Villagers stood up for themselves and had more than one personality. If you kept harassing a villager by talking to them over and over again, pushing them into a corner, hitting them with a net they'd get ticked off and call you a dumb idiot baby leave them alone already. Their aggression was usually tuned up so it was kind of funny seeing one of them snap at you. In New Leaf everyone is just... nice all the time. If you bop them with a net they just politely ask you to stop and nobody is ever in a bad mood- they're just constantly happy. Nothing but happy. It's honestly a little unsettling how cheerful they are 24/7 3: Due to being happy all the time a lot of the personalities blended together in New Leaf. Cranky villagers weren't Cranky at all (they were just older men now) and Snooty villagers weren't Snooty at all, just fashion models. They all blended together as either 'normal person' or 'normal person with a quirk. If you talk to a Cranky villager in New Leaf they'll tell you how cool you are and how its a nice day that they can enjoy. If you talk to a Jock villager in New Leaf they'll tell you how cool you are and how its a nice day that they can enjoy while having a protien shake. In the Gamecube version Cranky/Snooty villagers just sounded *tired* of bullshit and if you bothered them enough they'd want you to just leave them the hell alone. After a couple weeks though of talking with them they'd usually open up, apologize about how crummy they were being previously and admit you're not that bad to talk to and generally take on a nicer tone around you while still being jaded. It's all very very flat in New Leaf.' ThisIsACoolGuy fucked around with this message at 01:17 on Mar 3, 2020 |

I only recall it because there was a frog that was a big rear end in a top hat to me and kept blaming it on his age and whatnot and one day he was suddenly a lot nicer to me and started giving me random life advice like some weird frog dad because he cared. I was like wow that's cool

Knuc U Kinte posted:I wonder if the Japanese versions changed in that way? From what I heard the Japanese version originally had polite villagers and the NA translation punched things up. Then when it got retranslated to Japanese regions for the re-release they used the NA script. But also it's not just normal villagers. Blathers got shut up in New Leaf, Resetti wasn't allowed to chew you out, a lot of stuff just kind of read more flat in general or less lively.
