It’s the Little Things

[tanisha23]

I noticed today that Sherb opened a book while he was looking at flowers at the Resident Services Plaza, and if you look closely, he's looking at a flower book and observing the flower to see if he can identify it. Like, omg, how freaking cute.

Deirdre was running around the island like an airplane a while ago and I couldn’t handle how adorable she looked. Lol.

Axel and Diva were both doing that together this afternoon, so cute!

*Antonio (jock anteater) was lifting hand weights in the plaza. I also saw him doing squats during another time. It was really cute
*almost everyone has mentioned the graphics but it's so true. seeing how much more this world has come to life compared to the previous game. whether it's the leaves (or your own clothes) blowing in the wind, watching a wave crash over the beach rock platforms, all of the little expressions and actions the characters do.
*the museum is amazing for certain. I actually didn't realize there was a back bug room from the nature room. I felt some of the same wonder and excitement I would have felt actually visiting such a museum in person.

Saw Hazel singing on the plaza just now xD

EDIT: Now winnie has joined in.... So glad I caught that on video

I went to Walker's house late night, and he got super cozy clothes for sleeping.

Popping balloons is so much better in NH than it has been in past games IMO. In CF you could get Nintendo themed items from balloon presents, which was cool until you collected them all and then there wasn't much point in popping balloons. In NL it was even worse because instead of Nintendo items you got balloon themed furniture, which I didn't really like.

The first two balloons I popped in NH gave me a cute dress and 30,000 Bells. Not bad!

Yes I agree 100%! the items you get from popping balloons are so much better I'm SO glad the god awful balloon furniture is gone

I lost it when I saw one of my fellow islanders in their PJs!

Someone probably mentioned this already but the details of the rain really make me smile.

Being in a shop or a tent and hearing the rain hitting the roof, and also seeing the rain droplets outside my window from inside my house when it's raining as well!!

* The villagers doing stuff like sitting down, singing, running around, smelling the flowers... so cute! Even saw Alfonso trying (and failing) to catch a bug
* The museum is beautiful and looks really cool, was really fun to explore
* The game just looks very good overall!
* Balloons sometimes drop Bells?
* Nice to see money trees back, after having barely played the only other game they were in
* Nook Miles system is fun!
* More inventory slots hell yeah
* Pinky commented on how I was wearing the same shirt she gave me earlier!
* You can give villagers gifts out of nowhere and I just really like that...

The way the starting villagers grew on me~
I mean- i'm definitely hoping they'll move out lmao, but for now they can stay ;u;

 

[CrazyCat42]

Today some of my villagers stood in the plaza and started singing for no reason. It was one of the cutest things I've ever seen.
I also love the wind, the graphics, the way clothing moves, and that late at night you can see frost on the ground in the distance.

The window shape, size & colour changes with your wallpaper to match it. I noticed it when I tried to close the blindfolds after I changed wallpaper and it was gone.

I've heard this from several people but haven't experienced it myself yet. Do they suddenly spring it on you there and then, so you're screwed if your inventory has nothing good in it? Or do you get to plan what to give them?

I noticed something similar to this today, I wasn't sure if it was a coincidence or not.

Flip was doing stretches in the town plaza and Puddles walked up beside him, looked at him and then started doing stretches herself.

* Balloons sometimes drop Bells?

In the first few days when I started playing I popped a balloon and it had 30000 bells in it!

I also got one with 5000 bells today.

Also! I'm not sure if people have mentioned this but sometimes when you enter a villagers home they might be in the middle of crafting with the crafting bench. If you talk to them while they're doing it they'll give you a DIY recipe.

Yesterday, I found my Beau and Tammy singing together in the plaza. I just put down my joycon and listened for a whole.

Boomer was working out (I was very surprised to see this!) in his house for a good couple of minutes. He'd stop to catch his breath and continue. Eventually, he stopped and plopped onto the floor to read a magazine about weightlifting!

Sprocket and Canberra like to do aerobics together. Sprocket's favourite place to hangout at night is behind my house (there's a pond there). He likes to sing to himself, and I'll always join him and play along with my flute. ^^

Eventually an option will open up where you can give them gifts anytime you want. Although they wont accept bells.

Now Louie and Merengue are running around the plaza pretending to be airplanes. Too, too cute.

It's my birthday today. Just like in NL I was greeted by my highest friendship on sighing on (it's Shari). She took me to the party and it's really nice. They did a great job making you feel special. I got a bunch of cupcakes too so I can do some hard labor now!

They are all wearing party clothes! It's so cute!

It really is the teeniest tiniest things that make me squeal with joy.
-Lights outside buildings get brighter as you get closer

But MOST importantly, I found that in the final room of the fossil section of the museum, following the evolution tree, there's an empty branch next to the monkey where a human would probably be. If you go stand in that spot, a little light appears above your head like 'behold, the human!' and it makes me die inside from how much that tiny detail is appreciated
