Toned down villagers

[loreiid]

Hey did any of you guys notice that villager personalities have been 'toned down'? like snooties arent mean (not that much) and crankies arent as intense?

Does anyone like it better this way, whats your opinion?

 

[daiyuflower]

Yup, this is definitely true for New Leaf. I remember playing the original Gamecube version and the snooties were really pretty unpleasant. I kind of like it better this way...everyone is friendlier.

 

[Mkay]

New Leaf definitely toned it down. I actually miss the sassy personalities and dialogue the GC villagers had.

 

[Splinter]

Yeah the villager personalities are very tame compared to the older games I especially liked how they were in the first game, they should work on making them more like that for the next one.

The grumpy ones in the first game used to make me lol at how furious at you they used to get.

Well I haven't actually played older AC series, but I've seen screenshots of them and yeah the cranky and snooty types were more intense back then hahah but I guess it'd be cool if the the crankies were the same..

 

[Tap Dancer]

The animals were downright mean in WW sometimes. LOL. I like the nicer personalities for some of them, but "snooty" and "cranky" villagers aren't really so snooty and cranky, are they?

 

[AidenTheGamer]

I think Crankies are more relaxed in this game, but I still think that they talk pretty directly to the player and villagers.

 

[Shimmer]

Mhm. I've noticed Resetti and Phylis being nicer too. I don't care too much but I do prefer them being meaner. It was more funny to me. XD

Maybe they're being nicer because you're the Mayor now.

 

[maarowak]

I like the snooties better in this game? Though I miss the crankies being actually cranky and then warming up to you and stuff haha


I think peppies are more peppy than ever in NL though

 

[tokkio]

honestly i find the snooty and cranky dialogues to be interesting hahah you can use them irl when you want to be sassy or smth

yeah resetti and phylis got nicer... i read somewhere on another site that a person actually cried because of resetti in the older games hahah (of course bc she was young at the time)...

I think that's true. They're kissing butt now in hopes of staying on our good side.

I feel like the Normals were "dreamier" and more introspective in WW and CF too.

TRUEEE I would get so mad at Rasher when he talked to me bc of how cranky he was

 

[MatchaMoonlight]

Yeah, the snooties and crankies definitely do seem nicer in ACNL. In some ways I like it better. It makes the game more pleasant. But in some ways it also makes all the different personalities seem less diverse overall.

 

[loreiid]

I loved the crankies and how they were basically old men who are angry and grumpy and then you warm up to them. I found that rlly cute.

I definitely agree with that. I feel like the personalities dont really stand out as much like in older games. It adds to the calmness if the game, but maybe its just lack of dialogue?

 

[PinkWater]

They're probably toned down as to not offend/scare younger players, ala Resetti being removed/toned down. Even the normals were brutal in ACGC when you pissed them off.

 

[Classygirl]

The normals really were never and still aren't extremely sweet. I think that is why some not all but some peppies are way like little girl over the top all a Bluebear. Mostly the normals usually want your money, they want to sell you things they have always been a little money hungry to earn thier friendship level you have to pay the highest actual bell price in the beginning, not sure anyone else noticed this. I also found in City Folk, I never ran into redundant dialogue, it's like there are only so many things they can say one on one, but I have heard some of the strangest inter villager dialogues, which makes me think more time was spent on how different characters would interact with each other, and they do talk a lot if you let them...I've heard some strange things sometimes though but it's usually inside houses if one on one.

I like how some of them were toned down, but I sort of miss how the crankies and snooties would start off rude, but then warm up to you over time and become nicer.

One thing I've noticed about the normal types was that in GC, they appear to have lower self esteem than the other personality types, but in later games, they seem to like themselves more and come out of their shells.

I really want to see in a future game, the normals start off really shy, but as you get to know them more, they open up to you more and become your close friend, with whom they truly show their true selves.

not just mean characters
Balther's personality was toned down a lot too and he was always nice

I miss when Balthers would freak when you brouht him bugs... /:
Everyone got perosnality checked, espically meaner characters. I remember that I got a letter from Eloise that was extremely hateful and I still carry that grudge.
