Toned down villagers

[Rasumii]

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

This is the only reason I will accept the toned down personalities of this game. Uchi and Cranky villagers respect power.

I read that they cut off a lot of dialogue and sass because kids would get upset at the yelling and meanness, also surveys showed that most of them skipped through long dialogues, which also explains why blathers doesn't give cute descriptions when you donate stuff and why they cut back the backstory of the clerks.
I undertand that nintendo has to cater for their marketing target, but I do miss it greatly, specially blather's descriptions and phyllis sassy comments :/

Brewster was toned down too. The biggest change I don't like is the peppies. In Wild World when they wore your shirt, they'd say it's hideous, and they must have seen your name and got it, not realizing how aweful it actually looks, but in New Leaf, they talk about how awesome it looks, and if you can believe it they're actually wearing YOUR design, as if you're this creative genius. Eh, it's just part of the changes they made. What gripes me is how easy it is to get a perfect town now. I struggled and struggled and struggled to finally get it in Wild world, and after a month of not even trying in New Leaf I had a perfect town! WAY too easy now, same with the rare fish too easy to get!

I remember the cranky villagers in GC would yell at me for staying up late like I mean really get angry and the snooty ones were just well a certain word you can't type. Anicotti a peppy was soooooo mean I actually hated her. My AC day was ruined if i had to see or talk to Anicotti. But it was more enjoyable because it made me love the nice ones more, I still liked the cranky ones they were just funny when they'd yell at me, kinda like my AC dad XD I really do miss GC AC and I'm thinking about finding my old card and getting back into business with my weird little hat ^_^

I worked my butt off on a perfect town in GC just to see Farley and it never happened it's so easy to get everything now I caught like 8 coelacanths one day in a row I was like this isn't even fun -_-

Yeah, a lot of the personalities are tamed compared to past games.

I guess this was because of complaints from soccer moms or something. (Kinda within the same vain of Resetti)

 

[ellabella12345]

Everything has become easier and toned down. Just look at Resetti and Phyllis.

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

Yeah, that's actually pretty sad.
