Thoughts on Julia?

[EmperorGandhi]

Julia showed up in my campsite today! I haven't had a snooty villager yet so I'm considering taking her. I like her design (I think the ostriches are really underrated) and she'd be a nice change of pace from everyone else. If I let her move in, I'd have her move out Flo (I don't care for the uchi personality all that much), which would put her next to her ostrich pal Phoebe. The one issue with this is that I like having variety in the species and I already have two lions so maybe having 2/5 of my island be the same species wouldn't be the best idea. I also really wanted to try and hunt down someone like Diana, Ankha, or Judy once Flo moved out instead because I'm a fan of all three, but at the same time I like having a mix of popular and unpopular villagers to give my island more of a distinct identity. What do you all think of her?

I actually really like Julia! Shes super cute and so colorful c:
My friend actually has her as a villager and shes so sweet. I never checked the inside of her home tho lol
If you have 2 animals of the same kind it kinda reminds me of noahs arc LOL
personally, i like Julia! i cant help but find her as one of the most colorful villagers out there

I love her and think she’s one of the prettiest villagers in the game. I just wish they’d kept her peppy like she used to be. She’s still in my Top 3 options for a Snooty—and the only reason she’s not my No 1 pick is because her design just looks slightly less snooty than the other two (Blanche and Whitney)

I really like Julia's design and I'm not particularly fond of ostriches. If I didn't already have a snooty, I'd definitely take her.

She’s the second most beautiful ostrich. First is Blanche. Last is Queenie.

I love Julia! I debated having her as my snooty if Vivian didn't work out. I wasn't aware she was peppy in previous games (I kinda like that better than snooty). If species variety matters for you, maybe I'd pass for now. Popularity is subjective.

Absolutely love Julia. Beautiful natural design and I love the ostriches in general. She's such a rad auntie and even though there are some other snooties I'd like to try, I don't think I could let her go.

Checked out Ankha via Amiibo. I like her unique design, and it's easy to see why she's popular, but she definitely didn't impress me as much as I expected. I don't think she's physically capable of smiling.

Honestly, I'm not totally sure how much the variety matters. I'm not the biggest lion fan (Elvis is one of my all-time favorites and stand by Rory being criminally underrated though) so it might very well be that I just don't like having two of the same species if I don't care for the species. I'm sure if I found a wolf or deer that I liked, I'd totally claim them and be happy with it despite having a wolf and deer in my town already. And I know popularity's subjective, and I love like 95% of the popular villagers anyway so it's not like I like them specifically because they're popular, but it gets sort of annoying seeing the same few villagers being talked about online. There's plenty of amazing villagers that don't get talked about anywhere near as often and I like having a fair amount of those to give my island a little more of a personal identity.

So far, I'm still pretty split but you all are definitely making a good argument for claiming her. I still have all day to decide, though, so keep it coming!

She’s a cutie all right! I personally think having 2 of a species isn’t all hat bad, I actually lean towards it lol. But worst case take her in to see if she’s all you were hoping for and if not then replace her with one of your other preferences~

 

[Briar]

I love Julia! She's really pretty, and I've been considering having her on my island~

 

[PugLovex]

i think she’s adorable! she’s a peacock too so it’s even cuter )

 

[Pixiebelle]

I found her on an island and turned her down but she's cute! I like how she resembles a male peacock

 

[Altarium]

I really like her! Definitely one of the prettiest villagers. I would take her to see how much you like the snooty personality, and then you can decide whether or not it's worth it to hunt for the overwhelmingly popular snooties like Ankha and Judy ^^

 

[daisyy]

as someone who formerly wanted the most variety in her island possible, and then is probably going to have 2/5 of her island be repeat species... i say go for it if you like her. as far as repeats go, i think ostriches are SO cute. i had julia in my new leaf town and she was amazing. and her and phoebe are pretty different from each other too! and totally agree with you on the mix of popular/unpopular villagers - you can always end up hunting for them if you end up not liking julia!

I love Julia, she has a really pretty design!

I'd take her then if it doesn't matter then about species variety!

RE about the popularity thing: I just meant it more about having a mix of popular and non-popular to have more of an identity. Every island is unique (even if they have the same villagers since how you decorate your island is unique) and I don't understand why some people (not you) get worked up over what villagers someone else has. I like some of the more popular villagers too, but I am not usually bothered by the same 5 villagers being talked about unless it's hateful. Have villagers you like and that's all that matters!

Julia is gorgeous. One of my favorite animals in pocket camp. Honestly she probably would have been my snooty, but my brain couldn’t handle having Julia and Julian both in my town. So your concerns about species variety may sink her in your mind as well. but as a villager, I think she should be top tier lol. Her design is just beautiful and matches her personality perfectly.

Fair enough, your points are totally valid there! The villagers are by far and wide my favorite part of the Animal Crossing games so I tend to make a bigger deal about who I bring to my island, hence why I made this post in the first place (as well as generate discussion about a villager that doesn't always get talked about).

I really like her! I think she's the prettiest ostrich as well, I don't mind having two of the same species
I actually think having both her and Phoebe is very cute!

Rex was my first villager to go. Nice enough guy, but just don't care for the lion design and coupled with the lazy dialogue, didn't work for me.
