It’s the Little Things

[SweetSpark]

The minute details they put into this game are amazing. The water shimmers, being able to see the rocks in the ocean, omg the wind!!! Seeing Cherry singing at the river melted my heart! The clams squirting water!!!! Luving this game so far!!!

I love the wind too. I can't remember if it did this in other games, but I loved seeing the rain make "droplets" into the river!

OMG the villagers say hi to each other!!! I just saw Molly waving at Billy and he waved back. They’re soooooo cute. It’s my first time seeing this so I’m freaking out.

- I love the balloons! They've become a highlight
- The wind and all its effects
- Breathakingly beautiful skies

- Saw Peggy do yoga at the plaza and Muffy has been singing there all night
- Kitt immediately tried out the wooden fish I placed outside
- Tarantulas scare villagers! They were shocked, eyed it and Muffy let out a relieved sigh after the catch

There is currently a thunderstorm on my island right now and it is awesome!! So much attention to detail.

I've got Doc, who only moved in yesterday, and Axel singing together outside my Resident Services tent (which is being upgraded today) - this is the first time I've seen/heard one of my residents singing and OMG it's the most adorable thing in the world!

- Tree leafs and flowers blowing in the wind
- Villagers sitting under trees !!
- Villagers building stuff in their home
- Villagers dusting off the plaza or the area in front of their home
- Being able to give villagers things whenever you want
- Nature and the sky in general
- Taking pictures in the photo app is so nice! I think I’ve taken over a dozen super gorgeous pictures of my character looking amazing

(My home is in the highest left corner of my island)
I was redecorating early this morning, a time when I do not usually play.

When opening my West window, a tad bit of light entered my home.
Then when I opened the East window, natural sunlight entered.. shining across the cheeks of my player and glistening on the leaves of my plants.. it was such a lovely detail.

Now I can’t wait to see sunset-light flood the room from my West window this evening

· Lightning and thunder... I had to stop what I was doing and just watch.
· The sound of rain hitting metal roof, like Nooks Cranny

if u dig a hole one space away from the edge of a river and then try to squeeze past it, u fall in!!! i was so shook when it happened to me, idk if i caught it on video or not.

i love seeing my villagers wave at each other, so precious. and the fact that they just remember things!! kody gave me a green raincoat that i wore today bc its raining, and when i talked to him he commented on the fact that he was glad he gave the raincoat to me bc he was right that it would look good (something along those lines). love this game so much ;-;

the sky in general kind of always leaves me awestruck in game. the colour spectrum across the day, the lighting, the clouds and markings that appear all over... I love it so much. AC has always been great at creating atmosphere visually but they've definitely elevated themselves substantially yet again with this one, coming from someone who often opened up New Leaf just to walk around aimlessly admiring the scenery.

The museum. I could pretty much live there.

If you enter a villager's house and leave without talking to them, they get a question mark over their head.

Singing. When they get into it, they close their eyes, wave their arms, and shuffle in place.

Trees and flowers in the wind.

The water. It looks amazing.

One gripe - fewer tarantulas roaming around would be good, thanks.

 

[LoboUnderrated]

Every time I see Paolo he’s just looking at flowers and my heart...

 

[Hesper]

Apollo was just in Able's talking about how much he struggles to dress his "miserable bag of bones" and talking about copying my style. My poor heart. I bought him a nice old-school jacket right then and there.

 

[motheaten]

I love when the villagers seem to come together to do yoga in the little square, or when they sing together! Its makes me so happy to see them interact!

 

[Xara]

i’ve noticed that if you stand in a building for a while (particularly nook’s cranny or the airport), either timmy/tommy or orville will yawn which i think is kinda cute aha

i also like how if you spend a while doing a certain activity (fishing on the beach, for example) the next day, your villagers will comment on how you were in a certain spot or seemed busy for a while lol

I dunno if this already existed in previous games, but this is the first time I encountered this.

Few days ago, when we held the celebration for the Resident Services upgrade, I noticed Rod was missing. I went to his house and discovered that he was sick. He was pacing around his room trembling and still in his pajamas. When I talked to him, he asked if I had any medicine.

I gave him one, and moments later, I find him outside working out.

the koi fish swimming around the bug exhibit in the museum! can't figure out if they only appear after you donate one or not, but either way it's really really cute

It’s usually after you donate it, won’t appear before

ahhh, last night, there was a tarantula on my island and rolf was just staring at it intensely. while i was getting ready to catch it, carlos comes running up to me, and i thought that it was going to get startled and attack me, but he ended up stopping and started to stare at it like rolf. after i caught it, both of them let a sigh of relief. i ended up laughing! the amount of detail in the game makes me so happyhappy

 

[Corrie]

i love the double arm wave, it made me squee the first time i saw it

Ong I love how the villagers give you jAZz HaNdS when you leave their house!!
