Two sub-types of each personality?

[Nefarious]

This is really cool! I was worried about having same personalities for my last two slots, but this is a game changer. Not every personality is exactly the same. I’ve notice this with Ed and Kyle. Ed likes to smell and study flowers and Kyle sings a lot.

 

[Saga]

I have three peppies, and the only difference to me seems to be that Tangy sings a lot, while Flora and Pango spend more time doing yoga or running around. But all of their dialogue seems to be pretty much the same.

I also have two normals, and again, one sings CONSTANTLY while the other never sings. Their dialogue might be different, but I haven't paid close enough attention to be sure. Again, they seem pretty similar.

But their different actions/hobbies could also be due to models, and some animals not being able to sing. Anteaters, horses, and flamingos all have long beaks or odd mouth shapes that could make animating them singing really hard.

I wonder if the distinct subsets are more obvious in some languages than others? I feel like in English, it's really hard for me to tell. Maybe Japanese has greater distinctions? I'll have to switch my language and try to see.

 

[popstar]

this is really interesting! i heard other people saying that their raymond sings a lot so i was excited to see it when raymond was moving into my town but i don't think i've seen him sing even once yet! i do see him watering flowers quite often compared to other villagers, and he likes to do yoga i've seen him in the museum once so far

apple likes to airplane run around all the time, but i've never seen rosie doing it - their dialogue is basically the same though, and they both like to sing equally as much, and they both like to do yoga.. i can't recall seeing either of them in the museum so far, and they have both only woken up early once each

sherb compared to bob has had more unique dialogue, talks about the bugs in his house more often than bob, they both like to go to the museum equal amounts i've noticed.. sherb never airplane runs, bob does it quite a lot, bob has woken up early once but sherb hasn't

skye sends me loads of letters compared to the rest of the other villagers in my town, my inbox is full of letters from her and i've only sent her 2 maybe 3 letters! she also sings all the time, every day, i've seen her in the museum a couple of times, and seen her doing yoga a few times

judy i have seen in the museum very often, especially looking at the fossils, i've found her there atleast 5 times - i don't think i've seen freya in the museum ever so far, freya likes to do yoga much more often than judy.. they both like to visit the tailors

dom airplane runs around all the time, he likes to sing, and had a duet with apple a few days ago! i haven't seen him visit the museum yet, my previous jock villager peck visited the museum quite often and he also liked to run around pretending to be an airplane, but he never sang

pashmina i've never seen airplane run, she likes to visit the tailors, and i've seen her in the museum a couple of times - i don't have any other uchi villager to compare her to

What's the official guide?
Were can you get it?

 

[Cranky Squirrel]

Okay, this makes sense. When I first met Judy, I couldn't believe that she was the snooty personality type. She's such a different snooty than Snooty, my other snooty villager.

What's the official guide?
Were can you get it?

It’s an official guidebook, it’s being released on different dates in different countries because I think there have been delays, I had mine preordered on amazon, came yesterday.

I wish there was a way we could get more concrete information about this!! I love hearing everyone’s experiences but I I wish there was a way to find out things for sure. I can’t of any way to be certain what’s what without looking at the code or getting in touch with the guidebook contributors.

 

[moonbell]

Have a bunch of Peppy amiibos: Tangy, Rosie, Sprinkle, Flora, Anabelle and Ruby but can’t choose who to invite because I have just been put off the Peppy personality type.

If it helps, and if it's not totally random - my Rosie is quite the aspiring pop star, loves to sing, yoga, and I see her doing other exercise as well.

And just to contribute to the overall discussion -

Ken seems really into the whole actor and influencer thing. He also reads with glasses on, and I've seen him studying trees/flowers with a magnifying glass.

Today is Kiki's first day but so far I've noticed her very enthusiastically bug hunting and studying trees/flowers with a magnifying glass

 

[0orchid]

I have 3 normals right now: Maple, Marcie, and Dora. Maple talks about dating and romance sometimes (snooty subtype? my snooty Willow never talks about romance disappointingly). Marcie just moved in so I'm not really sure about her yet. Dora talks a bit more about reading and interior design than the other two and she seems to like gardening a lot. I see Maple wandering around in her tracksuit or with weights pretty often (jock subtype? lol). Apple loves to work out it seems and is almost constantly doing yoga, carrying around dumbbells, or something like that. When I had Sprocket he used to sing all the time (smug?) and seemed super vain about his muscles. Hamlet doesn't seem as obsessed with himself so far!

I used to have two uchis before Plucky moved out. Plucky was obsessed with cooking and talked about it constantly and did airplane runs nearly 24/7 when she was outside. Deirdre doesn't do either of those things very often!

I'm super glad this has been verified in the guide, it makes them a lot less one-dimensional. It would be cool if there's eventually a list categorizing all their sub-types if it's something that's fixed for each villager and not rng.

Thanks, it does help! I had Rosie and Tangy in my NL town and this time around I haven’t got any, it’s strange to go off a personality type altogether.

That second part really made me laugh though, I have Fauna the deer in my town so I automatically thought your villagers were studying Fauna.

 

[Xara]

i have 3 smugs and they all seem kinda different from each other in terms of what they like. marshal prefers to stay home and is more polite rather than flirty. henry really loves singing and is usually sitting on the ground somewhere whenever i see him. shep, however, is kind of boring but really likes crafting

 

[moonbell]

I've decided I'm going to start taking notes on all my villagers, including how they wave goodbye. I'll post that once I have enough worth posting. Hopefully others will find it useful or interesting!

While Fauna is definitely worth some studying because she's so cute - you should have laughed at me for totally misusing a word in my distractedness, haha. I've edited my original post to say trees/flowers.. (thought of using flora, which was what I originally meant, but eh) *forehead smack*

 

[Dustbird]

Marina is in my boyfriends town and she sings. All. The. Time.

Fauna never signs and usually walks around reading or looking at flowers.

Molly trains a lot, mostly weightlifting.

Bunnie and Audie seem pretty much the same, talk about favorite tv shows and fashion and being a pop star. But I've seen some peppies display "hidden depths", unexpected fact drops about space and such. None of them sing very often.

Bam seemed more muscle focused than Sparro, who's more laid back.

Ed was narcissitic as **** whereas Kyle is just a cool guy who likes music and fashion.

Drago was super-duper quirky, said the strangest things. Erik and Zucker, especially Erik, seem much more childlike.

Reneigh used to naruto run all. The. Time. Deirdre doesnt do it as often but otherwise seems nearly identical.

Some people have said their snooties feel like aunts, which confuses me because Whitney does NOT come off that way. Talks about fashion a lot and very focused on her "image".

Dobie really is a cranky old man, whereas Octavian hasn't come off as quite so old, but he's in my boyfriends town and havent talked with him a lot so far.

That's all I've got. We should compile some kind of data on this.

Also, sweet is MUCH better than normal and explains their personality waaaaay more accurately.

 

[marea]

I have 2 peppy villagers, Sprinkle and Rosie. I said in another thread that they talk about/do different things. Sprinkle is always running around but Rosie likes to chill and i never see her pretending to be an airplane. Rosie also talks about video games sometimes but i never got this kind of dialogue from Sprinkle, maybe because Rosie has a tv in her house? idk. It might be just a coincedence, but right now they dont feel very alike to me.

 

[Goop]

Ah this makes so much sense!
I have Beau and Zucker, both Lazy, and I noticed they had completely different dialogues. ^^
Beau tends to talk about the bugs that live in his house and food, while Zucker talks more about napping and food with absolutely NO mention of bugs or concerning dialogue (Beau once told me the bugs under his floor whispered a DIY recipe to him? You good, Beau?)​

 

[Katarzyna]

I have three peppy villagers: Audie, Cookie, and Flora. Things I have noticed to be different are that Flora is always doing the thing where she zooms around like doing sprints? I saw Audie doing it with Dom and Merengue the other day (for three hours...) but I've never seen Cookie doing it.

As far as working out, I have NEVER seen Flora even once change into work-out attire or work out ever. She just doesn't work out. Audie is big into working out with her athletic jacket and sporty shades, and she is usually lifting weights. Cookie on the other hand will sometimes change into a work out tank, but she will opt for doing the stretching/yoga kind of moves.

If these little sub-activities speak to their "sub-type" then I feel like these difference could be some clues!

 

[theravenboys]

I have 2 uchis, 2 lazies, and 2 jocks.

My uchis are Muffy and Canberra and they couldn't be more different in their behavior! Muffy sings all the time (she loves singing by the river and the ocean) and I've never seen her do the airplane run. She also seems to enjoy doing yoga. Canberra pretty much only airplane runs or just walks around the island. I've seen her singing once but it was with a group of 2 other villagers. I'm not sure if she ever works out or does yoga but I've never seen her in her workout outfit whereas Muffy is in hers quite a lot. (In fact, I don't think I've ever seen Canberra change clothes?? Muffy has three outfits she likes: her default one, a design my friend put up in the store, and a workout outfit. She rotates between those a lot.)

My lazies are Erik and Rex and I'd say they're pretty similar. Their dialogue is definitely the same but I'm more likely to catch Erik smelling flowers or getting distracted by a butterfly while Rex loves to fish (Erik fishes sometimes too, though).

My jocks are Sprocket and Goose. They're all about MUSCLE MADNESS!!! with their dialogue but I feel like Goose actually works out a LOT more than Sprocket. I hardly ever see Goose sitting down while Sprocket sits under trees a lot. Goose mostly lifts weights while I see Sprocket doing yoga more often than weight-lifting. I'd say as far as behavior goes, Sprocket actually acts more like a lazy than a jock because both my lazies love to sit under trees. Sprocket also fishes a lot and sometimes has his net out trying to sneak up on bugs. I don't think I've ever seen Goose with his net and I've only seen him fishing once or twice.

 

[cloudmask]

this is really interesting, and other people's descriptions of villagers that i also have seem pretty spot-on.

i have two sweets: merengue and sydney. merengue likes to work out a lot, while i haven't seen sydney work out once, i don't think. sydney sings all the time, while merengue hasn't sung once. syd also seems much more introverted than merengue. they both talk a lot about cooking, but it feels like sydney is more interested in flowers and reading than merengue is.

i think my two smugs, lopez and curlos, are the same sub-type. they are both very interested in flowers (inspecting and watering them) and don't really sing. the same dialogue so far, as well.

i've had two uchis: plucky and renee. renee seems a bit more shady, always trying to pawn things off on me and overall acting pretty mischievous. i don't remember a lot of specifics about plucky since she's moved out, but i remember she ran around a lot, while renee doesn't really run at all.

bianca, a peppy type, doesn't talk as much about being a pop star as the peppy types did in previous games, though she's still focused on being popular. she runs around a lot and likes to talk about tv shows.

hopper, a cranky type, doesn't seem very cranky at all. he's more of an old man than anything else, talking about not being as young as he used to be and sitting down a lot.

sprocket, a jock, sings *constantly*. other than this it's pretty hard to set him apart since he's just a typical jock, always talking about his muscles and working out.

anchovy, a lazy type, is naruto running. all. the. time. constantly talking about bugs and just in general being weird.

amelia, a snooty type, seems *far* less snooty than i had expected her to be. i think she's the polite aunt sub-type that some people are mentioning. doesn't talk about fashion that often, and has never talked about romance. just very polite and high-class.

i would love more official info on this!

 

[theravenboys]

Some people have said their snooties feel like aunts, which confuses me because Whitney does NOT come off that way. Talks about fashion a lot and very focused on her "image".

This is super interesting to me because my snooty (Blaire) definitely gives me aunt vibes. The only time she ever talks about fashion is if she comments on my outfit which is a design someone made (I noticed all villagers will comment on designs though). Because she's the only snooty I've had, I didn't realize there was a different "type" out there.

 

[DORITO-SAN]

This is so crazy, I was literally talking about this with a friend earlier today and its something I wanted in this game before the title was even announced.

Not sure if I brought it up on this board before but I was thinking that they would kinda "blend" the personalities to create more unique dialogue and maybe fit a particular characters design more
It's very interesting that they seemed to be implemented through a villagers hobbies!

Here's my research:
So when I got Lucha(smug), I thought they toned down the smug personality because he didnt have that sort of eccentric or vaguely flirty dialogue that the smugs in NL had, but Kidd HAS that kind of dialogue
I guess Lucha is more a reserved smug? I dunno

My two lazys are Raddle and Deli, Deli is almost always reading and checking out the flowers. My boy spent nearly an hour in the same flower patch just.... reading and looking at the flowers, very cute.
Raddle seems to talk about food more?

The two grumpys, Dobie and Gruff, both have different attitudes. Gruff seems constantly annoyed with tasks while Dobie is more light-hearted. I even caught Dobie singing! Also Gruff gets the most fleas out of all my villagers, unrelated

Id like to get another peppy or jock in the town to see if theyre any different from Victoria or Teddy

 

[sdw4527]

I definitely have the same 2 lazy sub types in that case as Simon and Cube both talk about bugs all the time and enjoy running around the plaza. For normals, it's a bit hard to tell. I feel like Fauna stays in her house a lot more than Maple does. Maple tends to like to go outside often and exercise near the plaza.
