The day shouldn't start with Isabelle unless she actually has news

[LuchaSloth]

Honestly, I'm finding myself progressively bothered by seeing Isabelle at the start of every day. There's only so many times a man can hear about a tv show or a new issue of a magazine. I wonder why Nintendo thought it was necessary to have her speak on a daily basis, regardless of there being nothing to report. It's not as if we can't go speak to her on our own at any point we wish. Obviously, they want her to be a key character. That's fine. But, this isn't working.

Also, it would be different if it was more common for her to report actual news than her personal stories. I'd say that you're easily looking at 5 out of 7 days where she says nothing of value. I'd be fine if they reversed those numbers, and she told a personal story once or twice a week. And why doesn't she tell you when characters like Gulliver, or CJ/Flick are around? Sure...it's not the most exciting info...but, it beats being told that nothing is happening. Or even the weather. She could say "the weather is clear this morning, but we might have rain this evening". Anything. I'm begging you, Nintendo...patch her to say anything mildly useful. I can't take it any longer. Lol.

That would be super helpful for Isabelle to announce the NPC for the day and know who you're searching for.

It would be nice if she mentioned visitors or a certain bird that decided to crash on the beach for the night. Yesterday Gullivarrr came to my island. It would have been great if Isabelle said something like: "There seems to be someone on the beach. Can you make shore he's OK?"

 

[Gazer297]

I agree. Announce something useful about the NPC or special events and skip the rest please.

 

[xTech]

Yeah it would make much more sense, and be very helpful if she also announced when certain NPC's were visiting like flick or saharah. Although, I doubt nintendo would ever do this since they are already trying to persuade people to not time travel, and this is just another measure that makes it slightly more annoying for people to do so. Imagine if you didn't have to go through the whole rigamaroll if isabelle, how fast you could farm items from gulliver/redd using the morning reset trick though? It would definitely make it much more efficient.

Isabelle has been reduced in “New Horizons.”

She should be respected.

Shame on this game!

 

[DawnAri]

yeah, er morning announcements don't have much purpose besides there being a campsite visitor or a meteor shower, and both only happen occasionally so there goes a wasted opportunity.

I don't really see her announcing things like Guliver laying on the beach; because I think you're supposed to be the first one to notice. I feel like Saharah, Flick and CJ could easily be announced though, and also definitely Redd!

I don't mind her dialogue when I'm casually playing, but when I'm TTing with a goal in mind it does get annoying, esp because it's always the same 5 things. But then again I don't think they want people to TT so it makes more sense to let her be annoying ;-;

 

[Katya01]

Agreed

 

[Underneath The Stars]

true. nintendo acts like we aren't gonna go around if she gives it away. news flash, we'd still look for them. but it is indeed helpful when we're busy and know if an NPC we're waiting for is visiting for the day so we won't miss it.

 

[Tiger513]

I've had my villagers tell me that someone is asleep on the beach or that Saharah is around so I don't see why Isabelle couldn't also do this. A weather report - like someone mentioned above - would be wonderful!

 

[seliph]

i feel like when she rambles about tv hosts "going on and on and on" she knows exactly what she's doing

 

[Marshmallows]

I like the opening announcements... just wish it were a little more interesting.
Time, weather, any visitors/events, and maybe some personal anecdote once in a while, but with more variety and less often. The personal dialogue shouldn't repeat so often.

would be cool if she's like "it looks like it's a bit gloomy today, make sure to carry your umbrellas because it might rain". the personal dialog gets annoying because it's too repetitive or frequent. i feel like we wouldn't have minded it if it was just during those days where she can't announce anything, but alas....

 

[bam94-]

Agreed. I honestly don't know why they didn't decide to get her to announce the special character that's in town that day!

 

[-Blue-]

Be careful what you wish for. Everyone was asking for her to be in the game and or riot. She got in due to fanservice. I remember thinking her first few announcements were cute, but it dragged on after a while. Now I button mash and sometimes I do miss real news from her.

There were times I didn't know a certain NPC was walking around and was about to save/quit and saw Celeste or Flick or whoever randomly walk into my screen. I was surprised, but after that wore off I was annoyed at Isabelle and how Nintendo coded her.

How many socks can you lose lady?

 

[kayleee]

I agree, I love Isabelle but they really made her useless and repetitive in this game. Hopefully they will update it at some point and have her announce which NPC is currently on the island.

 

[daringred_]

i don't know why they didn't tweak or even just copy booker and copper's visitor dialogue from NL and give it to her like ??? unless they're coming in a future update (which i doubt, sadly) it makes no sense.

 

[Peach_Jam]

I have to agree ^^;;
as much as I love Isabelle, her announcements need some tweaking. I mean, who loses their sock that often? LOL also she never announces shooting stars for me :<

 

[Pikabun]

Totally agree sometimes it takes so long!

 

[Saga]

I agree with everyone else - I really wish she'd tell you about visitors. Especially Celeste - I've missed her a number of times because she's so short and was behind a building or tree, and only found out she was visiting when I logged on with my second character and saw her walking around a clearer area.

I also think it would be really nice if Isabelle told you when someone was going to ask to move. "Oh, I heard ____ was thinking of moving. Maybe you should go talk to them!" It would make finding "thought bubble days" much easier. Of course, Nintendo would probably never do that since it might encourage time traveling (god forbid).
