So I've had ACGC for about 9 years but admittedly I've only played it a handful of times in that time. I picked it up again recently and got more invested in it, since it's nice for a break from New Leaf and Wild World which is what I usually play.
What's helped me get more invested in it lately is that I've noticed how alive the villagers feel, not just in terms of dialogue, but also in terms of what they acknowledge or remember.
I had to do a chore for Alli and it was about returning a watch to Caesar (who had moved away), and Alli mentioned that "this would be so much easier if Caesar hadn't up and left". I was really surprised to see that I was given a chore regarding a previous resident that had moved to another town. (As a sidenote, I really love that the chores are items such as watches, Pok?mon Pikachus, Game Boys, books etc. Makes a nice change from "deliver X furniture/clothing")
That and when I went to the island, I spoke to Pigleg and he gave me a Melon Chair, saying "oh this Melon Chair that you gave me a while ago, I'm getting really bad vibes from it, so I'm returning it to you".
These are such tiny things but they really do a lot to make the game feel a lot more alive in my opinion
