So maybe the special characters like Brewster are only named in the files because they can be scanned too, right?

Sadly that's a probability

They're there, as in their names are mentioned in the files. They don't have models or dialogue, so they likely will not actually appear in the game until a patch/update for a holiday or whatever.
That’s so depressing...

they said in the direct they would update the game with more npcs later. they either still havent had enough time for all of them or they want to keep them for special events
Honestly that’s kinda dumb... I get the holidays but why should literally every npc be locked up until they get to putting them in
Sorry if I confused you, it's not all special NPCs. The ones Cal posted have no in-game prescence (yet).

I'm just gonna point out that it was said around a week after the Direct (I think, don't quote me on any of this!) that even if characters such as the Sanrio and crossover villagers aren't in, you'll still unlock a purchasable poster when you scan their amiibo card in! Same applies for any special character!
I don't have links for any footage of it on hand, but if you search around a bit you should be able to find footage of someone scrolling through a list of posters you can buy, and special characters that don't appear in game (from what we know!) such as Joan are on the list. That's what I personally think most of these special characters are listed for, hence why they don't have models.
EDIT: I skipped over this accidentally, but someone else on this thread also mentioned the posters! c:

Chances are the names are there because they all have amiibo figures or amiibo cards. The system needs to know that they exist... hopefully they’ll all appear

Think about it - they only have so many man-hours to put into game development and the game was delayed already. I would rather they polish every element the best they can (think of all the new features we have over old titles) rather than try to fit in everything and have it be rushed and broken/shallow. If the NPCs come later, with lots of good stuff, I say it's worth the wait honestly.
Almost as if 2 weeks of gameplay isn't enough to see everything? Wow
We're discussing datamines of the game files. No amount of playtime is going to reveal things that simply aren't in the game.

Well, unfortunately, a lot of those claims are being backed up by the datamines - such as the lack of gyroids.
