Oh! Cool "not really timetraveling" tip from IGN for people who don't like the sound of the forced(?) week-or-so without some crucial tools -- simply set your Switch's date back a week at launch, do all you care to do in each in-game day, then fast forward a day until you reach the accurate date. Complete your daily goals and talk to Tom Nook. Save your game. Enter the Switch System Settings menu and scroll down to System. Choose Date and Time and turn Synchronize via Internet to OFF. Click on Date and Time and set your clock to the following day. Select Animal Crossing: New Horizons from the menu screen and hit X to close it. Restart the game and you should be playing on your new day.

Theoretically, couldn't you also just go forward in time until you get your tools then reset back to your current date?

First the "crucial tools" are not crucial. They're things that expand the game. Not having a pole and a ladder for a few days limits you to a flat quarter of your island, and I'd rather explore everything at once, but it's not like I can't play the game on that one portion of the island. Unlike New Leaf, you're guaranteed to get the net and fishing rod immediately. Those are the crucial tools. Second, one complaint that really struck me was someone who said the camping aspect of the game was far too brief. I'll be playing this game as "fully featured" Animal Crossing for years, but I'll only have a few days to stare at the distant cliffs and wonder what I might find there. Skipping past that feels like it's missing on the full spectrum of experiences this game has to offer. You'll always be able to build stuff and mess with your island, but you'll never be able to make it feel new or unknown again. Not everyone would get a lot out of that feeling, and there are people who would enjoy the game more by just getting to the "good stuff" as soon as possible, so by all means time travel away if you'll have more fun that way. But it's worth considering why that delay is in the game and if it has something to add, even for the obsessive player. Edit: Dazerbeams posted:Theoretically, couldn't you also just go forward in time until you get your tools then reset back to your current date? We don't know if there are any issues with going back in New Horizons, but if I were to time travel past the tutorial, I'd want to do it "legit" by only going forward, which you can do easily by setting the time back before you start.

For people planning out their island's shape in advance: One of the reviewers goes into further detail about the limitations of the terraforming tools in this video. Sadly can't make a cube of pure waterfalls. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KUIUEw_a2I

I will do this iff it results in a murder/conspiracy mystery requiring more and more time-travelling to unravel, before ultimately requiring you to undo all of that, skipping forward to the correct date with basically no progress but a somewhat deeper understanding of Important

I'm not going to time travel but it's none of my business what other people do!! In case someone missed it because the thread has a lot of posts, here's some speculation on the starting villagers: link Definitely read this if you were planning on maybe resetting based on your starter villagers: it's possible you start with one "jock" and one "uchi" so many won't be available, don't spend hours restarting if your villager can't even be a starter. As for me, I'm not a fan of the sporty types but a lot of the uchi villagers are some of my favorites, so here's to hoping I get someone I like.

Sick time travel strats: 1. Set your time and date in a way that works with your play schedule 2. Do all the stuff you can accomplish on the first day 3. Wait until the next day and you will have automatically time traveled one day forward

Oh and I'm a huge fan of genders not really seeming to matter? I watched a video on the start and you choose between a boy/girl-looking avatar, but then the person chose a boy and "female" hairstyles/eyes etc were all available, and I remember seeing passport cards and they don't mention a gender. On top of animals having a nametag based on their primary color, that's some dope stuff. (I'm not even nonbinary or anything, and I don't want to make it a big deal, I just think it's a cool feature in a game that's about expressing yourself.)

You can, though right now I haven't seen any information on what happens if you do that. In other words, we don't know at what point resources will start repopulating, buildings start advancing again, etc if you play ahead for 7 days and then jump back to the current date.

You'll always be able to build stuff and mess with your island, but you'll never be able to make it feel new or unknown again. Honestly, I don't think there's really anything "new" or "unknown" about the locked off portions of your island. You see the full mini map before you ever land on the beach, and it's not like you're going to find anything more than the same trees you have on the rest of the island. The only thing that's really being locked off is your ability to place your tent up high above the masses. Now what I wouldn't want to do is to keep skipping forward past the current date. I think the real unknown lies out there, with whatever events and activities can pop up.

Do we know if the island adds the word "Island" or "Isle" or something to your chosen name? 10 characters isn't a lot.

I think you can only start with Jock/Uchi villagers, not sure what Cherry is, but check ahead of time that the one you want is obtainable before wasting time on rerolls. edit: oh, lol that was literally in the spoiler Hairy Right Hook fucked around with this message at 20:14 on Mar 17, 2020 |

The only thing that's really being locked off is your ability to place your tent up high above the masses. But I won't be able to go there. I'll be spending a few days just puttering around on the plains between the rivers, doing what I can, getting to know the curves of the river and everything. And then one day Nook's gonna say it's time to check out the rest of the island and it's going to give another little dopamine burst as I see these things for the first time. If I was just running around all over the whole island from the start I wouldn't feel one part was familiar home territory and another part was "new". If that experience sounds like complete  to you, that's fair. But it's an experience you won't be able to go back and revisit if you skip past it to get to other stuff.Mizuti posted:Do we know if the island adds the word "Island" or "Isle" or something to your chosen name? 10 characters isn't a lot. So plan your island name to stand alone without the word "island" automatically following it.

unless u have a weird schedule, i really dont recommend time travel. One of AC's most unique features is the real time clock and youre really doing yourself a disservice by bypassing that entirely. U will also burn out on the game much faster by obsessively playing and changing the time rather than playing as it comes, not to mention the bugs that u can encounter. I played the GC version of AC almost exclusively time traveling and it wasnt until the later games that I came to realize how much more rewarding it is to take it one day at a time. I also didnt notice how much of the game I wasnt playing when I just zoomed through what I thought were the daily tasks and ignored almost everything else Time travelling is completely antithetical to the theme of the game itself as well as the overall gameplay ScootsMcSkirt fucked around with this message at 20:23 on Mar 17, 2020 |

I'm naming my island Lost. I would kill for a means to put in a constantly roaming giant swarm of wasps. This also means time travel will be canon.

Originally the Island suffix was included for the english version but when the Japanese devs asked why all their english testers kept naming their islands “Pen” they got very upset at the answer and removed it as punishment
