Toned down villagers

[loreiid]

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

Also very true! ^^ There were a lot of changes in new leaf with the characters overall i think.

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.

I wish Blathers would go on and on about useless info when you completed a dinosaur exhibit...

Yes, I miss when he used to tell you about the thing you were donating. For someone named "Blathers" he doesn't really blather much anymore...

I wish the snooty an crankies were a bit meaner but ohwell
I like it that peppy's (even more so rosie) are super hyper

I think he still talks too much. I wish he'd talk even less. LOL

I want to see the mean personality more in them lol , it add more shock factor and fun I guess ?

Personally, I wish they'd just return the crankies to their original crankiness. It's what made them my favourite villagers, up until New Leaf, when Smug and Lazy became my favourites because of their senses of humor. I still love the crankies, but the way they were in the past were far more endearing to me than they are now. Now, they just seem blunt.​

 

[olivetree123]

pretty much everyone's personality was watered down in new leaf tbh

 

[oreo]

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

Same here. :c

 

[MindlessPatch]

Yeah. I miss the way they used to talk. Crankies in particular as I loved their personality in previous games. It's like the don't live up to their personality anymore but orwell I guess. Not much you can do about it :/

I noticed this about 3 mins in, it was so disappointing waah. They really are all quite toned down. I had to deliver a package to Deirdre, I accidentally opened it .. so I gave it to her and waited to get told off/have her angry at me opening it.. Nope, just a "thanks Lady E!" Uh? How about when a villager would ask you something and it you tried to pick the "safe" option they would usually get offended ahah. (Oh and I miss the conversations between villagers too, only see them by pushing villagers together trapped by holes until they talk. GAH!).

I like to do that too... but once I pushed Dizzy into one and he was really sad afterwards and I felt bad bc he's my fave... And yea same with the conversations... I've seen close to none in NL... the only memorable one was between Midge and Dizzy.

Yes I noticed this pretty early on in the game and honestly it annoys me a lot. Snooty and cranky personalities were like my favorites (cranky especially) because they were so different from the other personalities and now they're just sooo lukewarm. They almost never say anything that could even be called cranky or snooty (except occasionally in conversations with other villagers, but hardly ever when you're talking to them). It's cool that they're being nice n all, but to me it was more rewarding in previous games when their niceness was more infrequent. ?\_(ツ)_/? lol

 

[budewarmin]

Sometimes I wish that the personalities were like before acnl, but then I would probably want to kick my snooties off a cliff...

 

[katronsensei]

This makes me kind of sad... I hate that Resetti was toned to, and in my opinion too much... They kind of took away what made him him and why I enjoyed him. I guess I'm weird, but he use to make mme laugh in the old games. Now he is still kind of amusing, but not so much.l Now days i button smash to see how big I can get that number to go. lol.

Umm besides that I loved Fang. I loved him soooo much. I still love him, but he's not the same fang.

in general, I think they toned it down waaaay to much. Like, I find it a tiny bit sad that people can't supposely handle a ai just being a tad bit mean. To me it wasn't that bad and I played it when I was freaking 8 or something (I'm 19 now).

It's kind of sad that Animal Crossing GameCube's normal villagers are nicer than the New Leaf snooties

 

[Maverick215]

I feel the same thing about Resetti. But I get why they toned him down. In Wild World (the only other game I've played) some of the stuff he said was kinda messed up, especially coming from such a 'cute' game. While I'm glad that he doesn't yell at you for an eternity if you reset, it kinda killed his character a bit for me.

I'm just trying to look at him not flipping out as much as a form of character development, because iirc, in Wild World he mentioned having high blood pressure and that his doctor said he needs to chill out. So seeing him more chill is kind of like him mastering his short temper (and blood pressure) over the years since the earlier games.

But still, Resetti just ain't the same without him giving everyone a hard time for resetting.

 

[Xita]

I kinda like it in some ways. I didn't dislike Crankies or Snooties nearly as much this time around. Crankies even became my favorite personality.

I think the important characters is where I have issues. I really disliked how Phyllis was so watered down in this game. Her contrast to Pelly was one of the more amusing things in the series. Phyllis just seems kinda "meh" rather than being mad at you for no reason like always (and I enjoyed that.).

Oh but I did like that you could just ignore Resetti completely. Making him optional was a good decision in my opinion.

 

[Karminny]

I think he still talks too much. I wish he'd talk even less. LOL

What?!? Well, I'll give you a point... He is a bit pushy (Is that the word)... There's something about him that I don't like about the way he speaks, but I don't know what it is...

 

[Winkyccat]

I wish they were back to the way they were the dialogue is terrible in this game but everything else is much beter...
I miss when they had the little in (parenthesis talk where they say something mean)
I do like how you can make resetti optional though because he would always ask me to say something and even if I copied it exactly he wouldn't let me play and I would have to restart
