Is the first leg of gameplay just meeting citizens, getting tools, and selling fruit? Hard to say because this game starts off very differently from previous games. In all the previous games, the town was already in place and most of the buildings were already there. Here, we're building from scratch. From what I heard anyway, you'll be scrounging around for about a week before all the cool stuff starts pouring in.

Gyroid chat: Don't the gyroids show up after it rains? So maybe they didn't have any rain yet and that's why? (I dunno, I'm not a Gyroidologist, just trying to give the gyroid fans some hope) Thanks for the sweet tag!

If nothing else, might be a good time for getting a feel for your island/how things are laid out if you want to plan out where you want to put things or shape terrain later on.

Brother Entropy posted:little 3 minute tour of what an island can look like 18 days in Good to have confirmation. I assume you can move everything except the airport and probably the town square, because you can't even cross the river without inventing the pole so being able to relocate your house/villager houses to locked off areas makes sense. Otherwise everything early-game is clustered in that one little starting zone.

All just a little too big brain for me. I'm goin' in the same way I went into New Leaf -- dumb as a brick! Anybody soaking up the leaks -- have we gotten confirmation of island name pre/suffixes in the English version?

Is the first leg of gameplay just meeting citizens, getting tools, and selling fruit? Animal Crossing is a chill game. You just chill. Probably you'll want to get your basic tools so you can start skipping through the fields catching butterflies right away. Also fishing. Other than that, chill. Explore your island, catch bugs and fish, chat up your neighbors. Think about where you want to put things. Visit other people's islands, steal their fruit, and bother their villagers. You can plant other people's fruit in your own town, and- if it works the same as it did in all the other games, you can sell the fruit from those trees for a lot more than your native fruit goes for. But I can't emphasize enough that this is not a game you min/max. Just chill.

Silver Falcon posted:But I can't emphasize enough that this is not a game you min/max. Just chill. This is the big reason I've decided to give the series another shot. Since I originally played AC:NL, my tastes in games has changed quite a bit. My PC ate poo poo and I never bothered to fix it. I've played exclusively on various consoles since. EO flung me into RPGs and my play style has angled hard towards slow and deliberate since. Hell, my new favorite vice is wasting hours at a time exploring in Elite Dangerous. I think I'm trying to say that I'm old and this game is perfect for my new geriatric tendencies. E: Thanks to all the gonna who responded to the question.

I might me crazy. But I'm still holding out for a physical version from Target. I want that journal and I didn't preorder in time. If things go south by Friday, I'll relent and go *gulp* digital. (also I wanted to see my 1st ever gang tag)

My New Leaf town name was Elbow. I have absolutely no idea why  On the other hand, I'm so mystified by the thought process (it was only a few years ago, how do I not remember at all?) that I may reuse it. Elbow Isle?

d3lness posted:I couldn't get into gyroids. I never found one that fit a look I was going for. I might have liked them in New Horizons if I could place then creepily outside just barely behind trees for Halloween during fall. I would collect Gyroids, and fill my basement with gyroids. It would then fill my entire house with gyroids until there was no furniture left. Only gyroids. The gyroids are love, life, and incidentally, 42.

I'm wondering what to name myself/my island... Normally I go for a "gamey" name (like Clocks) but I might just go with my real name (Anna) this time. Which is funny, I went with Clocks for pocket camp and ran across a few Annas and I was like, dang, if they knew... but if I play online at all, that might get confusing for the people who don't personally know me. As for the island, I'm guessing the US doesn't get any special "isle/island" additions, so it's just ten characters? A friend of mine suggested "Clock Town" - like from Majora's Mask - in honor of my name, but since I've never actually played the game (although I believe I watched an LP a long time ago) I am not sure I could do it justice... "Twin Peaks" fits in ten characters too... usually I am not too creative though, and certainly not very decisive, as y'all can tell by my posting style with the parentheticals and ellipses. :p

You may not of played the game before, but you'll probably have a town full of psychopaths so that will be close enough! (Majora's Mask freaking rules)

This thread is getting me excited for this game. Like, weirdly excited. I've never played a AC game before, so I don't know why I'm excited, but I'm really looking forward to setting up on my island. My GotY for 2019 was BotW. (I was late getting a Switch.) I think I'm going to approach this game like it's BotW without combat. I just want to explore and try things out.

Majora's Mask is one of my favorite games and I always name my town Termina. Clock Town is an excellent name for you to use, even if you know nothing about the game. It's a weird place, go wild with it and do whatever you want.

Assuming there's no -isle/-island suffix then I may actually go with that idea, it's a way to incorporate part of my name while using my real name for my villager!

Could I please get the racoon goon gang tag? I tend to lurk but have added myself to the friendcode database / discord and am looking forward to trying to be a bit more social thanks to this game. Preordered a physical copy for my 13-year-old daughter, and am purchasing digital for myself.  We can't wait for Friday!
