Anyone else wish there were 10 personalities, not 8?

[BeezyBee]

By more, I mean only two more (so ten in total).

I'm the type of player that must have everything equalized (whether it be gender, flower to tree ratio, etc.) and it's always bothered me that there's 10 slots but only 8 personalities, so you'd have to have two duplicates.

I wish they added two more personalities to NH, one more for each sex of villager. I understand that that would mean more villagers, but they could split the snooty and jock groups in half (there's already too many of them anyway) to populate the new personalities. They could have also thrown the new villagers (Megan, Dom, ReNeigh, Raymond, etc.) into them to give some new faces.

posted this in another thread but would love an academic type. sophisticated and smart, but not as cocky or fame seeking as smug (although i feel like smugs didn’t want fame until NH)

I love that idea! I feel like it's broad enough for many different villager designs. It has great dialogue potential too.

Yesss... it'd make more sense having 10 villagers, then, if one could be of each personality. I feel like they'd have to make more new villagers than they did though, but I'm actually surprised they only added the eight they did.

yeah! i want the sophistication of snooties mixed with blathers knowledge lmao (and maybe even his strong passion for certain topics)

That would be nice. I had Ketchup & Ruby. Same personality types. They basically would say the same things to be in the same day. So Ruby had to go. Ketchup was already my dreamie at this point. I find Jock & Cranky personalities aren't too bad. They don't seem as a like. Which is good.

I wish their were most sisterly choices as well. None are really screaming "dreamie" at me.

 

[Altarium]

Absolutely! I'm going to echo @lieryl and ask for an "academic" or even "nerdy" type, that'd be adorable and so fitting for the franchise. As for the tenth personality... maybe something along the lines of "shy", or even "artsy"?

they definitely didn't. they used to just feel like a male version of the snooties, now it's kinda like mixed with a male version of peppy.

I completely agree. It would be so much better for gameplay if we didn't get repeat dialog from two different characters. It kind of spoils the effect when that happens. Even if we mixed up things so there were jock females or normal males, and gave them different dialog sets..... I think that is one thing I was rather disappointed in with this new release.

Yes! Not only would it be more balanced, but it’d be lovely to see more personalities and dialogue. An academic or shy/artistic type would be awesome

 

[Halloqueen]

I could go either way on this. On the one hand, it makes more sense to have 10 different personality types since you can have the 10 villagers living on your island and it is better than having repeats of something. On the other hand, even after having a few New Leaf towns and now a New Horizons island, there are still some villagers who I like and would want as residents who simply couldn't fit anywhere that I would like to adopt, so adding two whole other personalities would seem to potentially add even more competition to that. Granted, if they just moved some from villagers pre-existing personalities to the new ones then it would be better for me.

 

[Xara]

10 would be cool but i’d probably have a really hard time choosing one from each personality - i’m already struggling and there’s only 8 lol

 

[ForbiddenSecrets]

I really wish we had 10 personalities. I really struggle with my last two slots because repeat dialogue (specially those moments you get them back to back) really hurts the illusion that your villagers are unique.

 

[Dragostea Din Tei]

So I have to miss out on an entire personality if I have two dreamies of the same personality? No thanks

 

[Lazaros]

i already have a problem cramming all personality types into my town and i'll probably have to pass up on a snooty because i decided i wanted four normal villagers - and honestly, i'd prefer they'd not add new ones, because of the villager space issue + they haven't even added new villagers to the "latest" personalities except for two, which really makes me think if it's necessary to introduce two more just so they can maybe shove 10-20 cryptid villagers in there and make it a thing.

 

[DJStarstryker]

I agree with the others who say it can be a struggle to pick just 10 even with 8 personalities, but on the other hand it'd be nice if the villagers were more unique feeling in general.

If they introduced more personalities, they'd want to do at least 20-some of each, so that would be 40+ villagers. That sounds exciting, sure. But I'd honestly rather them spend more time on content than villagers. That's why I was OK with only 8 new villagers in NH, even when others were annoyed with it.

 

[Raz]

Kinda. At first I thought we should have 10 personalities to match the number of possible villagers we could have at the same time. But then, the info about hobbies and sub-types became known, and as I was playing the game, I could notice subtle differences in villagers' behaviors of the same personality, and I really appreciated that.

Although a couple extra personalities wouldn't hurt, I don't think they're exactly needed right now.

 

[BigBadButterfree]

I think the hardest part would be setting new personalities apart from the current ones.

As said, I think a good male type to add would be scholarly or "smart," "learned," etc. They'd be like the counterpart to the female Normal/sweet, and their hobbies would be reading and maybe even talk about browsing wikis and watching documentaries.

For females, I'd turn snooty back into a mean, self-absorbed diva, and create a new personality out of the current "snooty" type: one that is more motherly and wise, giving housekeeping advice and generally concerned for your well-being.

I would LOVE more personality types omg..And even better, I feel like it'd be interesting if they had more than 10 personality types. That way, when you went to new towns, you would be able to meet different types that you yourself don't have! It could encourage folks to let different villagers move in and out too, hehe.

To combat the multiple personality thing I simply have.... 3 smugs. I also spread their houses out all over the island so that I don't see them all together at the same time, hehe. That way smug is the only personality that there's duplicates of. I couldn't stand having 4 villagers that were talking the same so, 1 less to worry about, I guess...!? Not really a great solution, but I like my snugs so I'm okay with three of them.

 

[kirbbys]

I wish we had more of the personalities we already have [uchi]...

If they added 10 personalities, I would like a cap of 12 villagers on your island, because I have two normals / two peppy / two snooty (want to change that to lazy) at the moment, and would like to keep some of those 'repeats'.
