Yeah, I miss her old personality from the older games. she just doesn't have as much charm anymore. In a game where everyone is cutesy and polite, Phyllis was a welcome addition tbh
Yeah, tbh I feel this isn't just a problem with phyllis, but also with cranky and snooty villagers. A lot of the meaner characters have gotten much nicer in acnl and I think that kinda takes away from the fun and diverse personality of the game. I mean I guess similar to the resetti situation, they may have made characters less mean to avoid making kids feel bad or scared, but I feel like a balance could be struck. Like make characters "rude" rather than outright antagonizing, but still keep their personality intact. Sorry for the ramble, this is one of my main gripes with New Leaf despite loving it for the most part
"what could you possibly need to mail off at 1 IN THE MORNING" yes i need more sassy phyllis dialogue please. it would be even better if they really sugar coated pelly and made her even more nice
I'm surprising even myself by saying this, since I usually have plenty of sass to go around myself and do prefer a wider variety of personalities in games like AC, but I prefer that they toned down both Resetti and Phyllis - but only because I really, really don't like either of them. There's sass/having some bite in your personality, and then there's just being rude, which I found both of them, and it irritated me tbh. I can totally get why people would prefer they still had more edge than they have in NL though.
I think a lot of the characters are wayyyyy too nice. I agree Phyllis should be much meaner, but so should snooty and cranky villagers. Villagers dialogue is really boring once you hear a few lines.
definitely, ngl even though she was the sassiest pelican around it was still funny to see what she'd roast you with like remember when she'd lie and tell you that you had a ton of bells in your bank and then be like jk you're poor
