Festivale: the worst of ACNL!

[Pietro:)100]

Bold: ...is it going to be perfect?

Underlined: ...

Anyways... It's only fair that I used to have fun...

Now for a little headcanon:

Pit used to think Festivale was he ULTIMATE sacrifice holiday. The contestants would dress in fancy getup, and participate in various events. The winner was announced at sunset, with an EXTREMELY flamboyantly dressed Isabelle, handing feathers in this order:

White for the losers.
Red for 7th place.
Orange for 6th place.
Yellow for 5th place.
Green for 4th place.
Blue for 3rd place.
Purple for 2nd place.
Rainbow for 1st place.

Then, Isabelle would light a fire for the Rainbow Feather to be lit over, which triggered a special scene involving Pave. The rest of the contestants were gone, and replaced with small boxes with which they were associated with. The incorrect choice would lead to the loss of your best in-game friend, while the right box would lead to the eventual demise of your worst enemy. This meant a sacrifice to a large pot of metal that has been melted. The fireproof string would lower the unlucky victim, whilst everyone would dance. Whoever was sacrificed would never appear in campsites or the Roost, but you could still meet whoever was lost to the lava pot in a Dream town. Unless YOU happened to be the victim, in which case your WHOLE save file would be overwritten forever, and you had to start over from scratch...

This was until he realized it was a holiday about getting feathers for Pave, playing games, and listening to salsa. And instead of the kindly old ghost in his headcanon, Pave was aggressively salsa peacock.

This is the best!

I haven't experienced the Festivale yet in NL, but I remember in city folk I enjoyed playing the games with my villagers for candy (though the first time when I was trying to get the furniture, it was frustrating!)

I'm sure it'll be frustrating too in NL, as far as getting the Pave series goes, but the actual event itself, I definitely look forward to it! I even have my Festivale outfit all ready on one of my mannequins

It's funny that so many people don't like the Pave furniture when it's my favorite set in the game. But Pave himself is annoying as heck and it's so hard to get all the pieces because they are given randomly. I had about half a dozen of each piece before I finally got the sofa...arrrrrghhhh!!!

I actually like festivale; it's the most fun of the events IMO.
I'm not a big fan of the furniture set but it's definitely not the worst out there

Festivale's boring to me. All you do is catch feathers.

I think Pav? and Tingle are related.

I always like the quest events - easter, festivale, thanksgiving, the snowflake mini-game... I didn't do christmas this year, I think that mini-game is kinda slow, and the same goes for April Fools. I like running around town collecting things.

Pave is pretty flamboyant, but I think it's nice to have a little subtle representation.

Aww, I love Festivale, and Pave! I think he's fabulous, and I love his gyrating, haha. I like the music that plays and the feathers, just for one day it makes the whole town extra fun and exciting, even if you don't feel like participating in the actual event. I also think it's cute how the villagers dress up and go around singing all day, it's cheerful and I enjoy dressing up and joining in with them! Festivale is on my birthday this year, so I feel super lucky I get to spend it with that dancing peacock

Pave freaks me out

 

[budewarmin]

I like festival, I love Pave ways better than those boring fishing contests

 

[tokkio]

honestly what I only like about Festivale is the confetti things in the air during the day lol and how the villagers wear a costume

I like seeing Jambette wearing Festivale junk. I like the series too. I hate hate hate HATE the minigame though.
