Two sub-types of each personality?

[Last_bus_home]

The official guide says this about the personalities: “Each resident can have one of eight personality types, each with two sub-types.” They list the eight personalities (Normal as ‘Sweet’ and Uchi as ‘Big sis’) and all the villagers + their personality type (though in this section they list Normal as Normal for some reason), but not the villager’s sub types. So for those of us who have more than one villager of a personality type and have noticed a difference, it sounds like this is real not imagined. Anyone have any more info? Especially from the code, I’d love to know which villagers fall into which sub-type!! Would help for deciding on final villagers but mostly just seems like something we should all know.

That's really interesting that this is something that's confirmed!! I only have anecdotal evidence: between my two Uchis, Pashmina sings a LOT and talks a fair bit about gardening, whereas Mira ... doesn't Similar when I had two Smugs, Lionel would not ever stop singing and yet I've never seen Ken sing once.
It's incredible how much detail is in this game and it's really nice that they've added in even small variations within personality types to keep things fresher and more unique.

Well, with my two crankies, Wolfgang and Boyd, I noticed that they seem to be into different hobbies.
Boyd enjoys doing stuff like weight-lifting, etc., while Wolfgang does a lot of Yoga.
I'm not sure if that's what they meant by that.
I haven't noticed many other obvious differences.
I have 3 lazies (Zucker, Erik and Sherb) and the three of them seem more similar to each other than Wolfgang and Boyd are though I noticed that Zucker seems to talk a lot more about food.

That's really interesting, I have noticed some of my villagers of the same personality seem to do different activities from each other... I only wish these subtypes applied to the dialogue as well, because that's something I've been desperately wishing for for so long but every time I have multiple villagers of one personality they just give me all of the exact same repeated dialogue with no noticable differences.

I found differences between Zell and Marshal, Zell sung constantly, but Marshal (and Raymond) is quieter. Not sure about the others, that was the most obvious difference. I want to know the subtypes and which is which so I can decide what personality to have more than one of and who to go for. Like, I have Punchy and I want Erik but if they’re the same, I’d probably think twice and try to go for two that are different.

I have 3 lazies Zucker, Drago and Barold. To me Zucker and Barold act identical and have identical dialogue. Drago seems more town downed to them. doesn't talk about bugs that much, just food and lazing away.

But I did notice for my two snooties! I had Opal and Olivia! Legit Opal gave me old lady vibes. Only spoke about stuff you reserved aunt would talk to you. Yet Olivia finally acts like a proper snooty. ahaha She talk about clothes, make up and how someone stood her up on a date.

 

[Shyria]

Ohhh that makes sense! I was actually looking for a thread talking about differences in personnalities because I thought I didn't really like lazy having Sherb and Punchy in my town, but recently Punchy moved out to be replaced by Stitches and I found Stitches so much funnier!
Sherb is mostly chilled, very laid back, while Stitches seems more childish to me. Like Sherb will talk about dreams be very positive, while Stitches will go on and on about food and bugs but in a quite comic way.

And now I just got Ketchup (Peppy) and she's very different from Flora. I like Flora but she seems stuck in one dialogue where she talks about the star and how she's one. Ketchup seems much wittier and has different things to say!

I'm very curious about how they labeled those subtypes then! (If they did.)

I'm also very curious if that's linked to their character, or random? Like could I have a "sleepy" Sherb and someone else have a "childish" one?

Because I did find out that when Stitches moved in, Sherb added some catchphrases of his to his own dialogues.. (but I might be imagining that/could be a coincidence)

 

[Loreley]

That's interesting! I seem to have bad luck with this feature though. I used to have two uchis (Reneigh and Agnes) and they acted completely identical. My two normal villagers (Bea and Celia) don't seem to have any notable differences either. I recently got a second snooty villager (Soleil), so I'll have to see if she acts any different from Blanche.

 

[moonolotl]

I've had Sherb, Stitches and Punchy at the same time (did have rodeo but didnt really speak to him so)
Stitches always spoke mainly about playing games and Punchy mainly spoke about eating, although there wasnt loads of difference between them. Sherb, however, has given me loads of dialogue ive never heard the other two say and, although I havent had him for very long, already seems super different to the others

 

[Last_bus_home]

Interesting to hear everyone’s experiences! I really want to know what’s in the code, like Shyria said, what did they label them? I want to sort out a definitive list. And as Shyria noted too, are villagers always the same sub-type or could two Punchys be different sub-types in different towns.

 

[Chris]

I had been wondering this. I have two smugs in my town who have very different dialogue (Lopez and Julian), meanhile my two peppies (Anabelle and Pinky) and lazies (Filbert and Sherb) have near identical dialogue.

 

[JKDOS]

I don't know if it's just Agnes, or all Uchis, but Agnes is extremely mean and rude.

 

[Altarium]

I have noticed this! Sprinkle is always Naruto-running around town while Bianca is usually working out or sitting by the river, even though they're both peppy. Similarly, Skye seems to love yoga while Marina loves to sing and sit by the river.

Dialogue-wise they're quite similar but I do notice some differences, Bianca seems a bit more mature than Sprinkle. I wonder if it has to do with their zodiac sign?

P.S.: we FINALLY have an acceptable name for "normal"! I like "sweet" a lot more, normal made them sound like pokémon lol

 

[Rosie Moon]

I have two peppies in my town, Rosie sings pretty much all the time, whereas Bunnie is quieter. Two lazies too; Zucker enjoys gardening whereas I often find Bob playing in or near the plaza.

So the differences weren’t just my imagination! That’s really cool.

 

[Shyria]

Maybe we should all gather like 3/4 sentences that comes up very often in our villagers dialogues and see
A)what they are
B)if they are always the same for one villager or if it seems to be different from town to town

Oh yeah I've seen the difference in behavior come up too! Haven't paid much attention to that yet

 

[Underneath The Stars]

oh my god... this is game changer??!!!!?? i need another lazy now because punchy & jeremiah are too similar imo

btw, we are just gonna ingore the punchy slander in this thread

 

[sicklewillow]

I haven't got Raymond long but I noticed that he has a different hand wave from my other two smugs. Raymond wave goodbye frantically like Bud (a jock) while Marshal and Ken wave goodbye with one hand.

I have also been observing this! It's interesting that my jock and your jock wave differently (Louie waves with one hand), so this might be an indicator of their subtype.

Ah, my Zell sings a lot too! If that’s consistent between islands I’d imagine it does have something to do with the personality subtypes. I just wish they were a little different between the main villager personalities too.

My two snooties, Ankha and Robin are surprisingly different. Ankha likes to spend her days sitting around, fishing, watering flowers, etc. Whereas Robin works out a lot, does bug catching, and is otherwise more active.
