why are most of the animal villager's feet flat and why are their fingers missing 0_o

when I look at most of my villagers except Broffina the hen it appears that they dont have any toes their feet are flat and their fingers are missing do they have fingers or toes 0_o?

They grow opposable thumbs in times of need, then they fall off like lizard tails only to be regrown..

I think it's for simplification, and if I may make my point clear, it is.

No replies saying simplification.

Fanart tends to do this thing because of it. It gives the animals fingers, and toes, too.

Because the 3DS doesn't have enough power to render those? Maybe in a Wii U title.

I forgot to mention, but K.K. Slider is the only one with actual paws. Everyone else gets screwed over.

I never really thought of that but I guess it is kind of strange. Nice profile picture big the way, Bones is awesome.

I guess it was just something to think about but I am happy the way the animal look now.

I think it has more to do with him being kind of a hippie tbh

also, because its an intentional design choice for the sake of visual simplicity

 

[creamyy]

they don't need toes.

 

[earthquake]

they don't need toes.

thank you.

This is simply because animals other than apes, monkeys, squirrels and other rodents don't have fingers or toes, but extensions of the initial paw, and in birds' cases, talons. Octopi don't have toes or fingers 'cuz they're octopi.

That, or the animation editors think they're cuter without digits.

The game was built off of N64 graphics, that's why everything looks simple and crap.
