Del is the old man version of Cranky. Octavian is on day two of camping, but it sounds like he's not "old man" Cranky, which is good news!
Rex and Beau as Lazy seemed very similar (always the bugs in the floor), which is why I moved out Rex.
My second Sweet moved in today, and I'm curious to see how Midge and Coco compare.
Kyle and Hans are my Smugs. Kyle is all about being a cool rock star. Hans wants to be an actor, and seems maybe a bit more aloof, but he hasn't been around long enough to see how much they differ (and Kyle is leaving soon).
I'm really curious what the actual (coded) differences between these sub-types are.
A lot of statements in here I can get behind. In fact, I observed similar things. However, this could just be purely coincidental or a case of confirmation bias.
Just wanted to pop in here to add that I'm currently island hopping, and ran into Julia.
She didn't give me the normal Snooty intro line that I'm used to hearing when I talked to them on islands (ending with the bit about "I'm ALWAYS down to dish, darling", or whatever!). It threw me off to the extent that I googled her to make sure she's still a snooty type!
Could this be an indicator of a subtype of personality?
I'd also like to know this.
Someone earlier in the thread said their Marshal doesn't sing, but mine sings constantly.
I noticed every person who has Marina (myself included) says she sings a lot. Not just in this thread either, so Marina might be set?
I have three normals, and of them only Marina sings. Aurora and Vesta do not. Other than the singing I see no difference in them, though, and the repeated dialogue is a bit annoying lol
This is definitely something we need to know! I think my Ankha might be the Aunt type and if possible I think I'd rather she be the other one. And if Tangy is the same sub-type as Rosie.. that might bug me now that I know that another Peppy could be somewhat different than how Rosie is. (I don't have Tangy moved in yet to test myself)
I had a good chuckle at the end of this convo between two Peppies— they may not have varying interests like the sub-type theory suggests, but they are starting to get self-aware about it!
Holy cow, are you guys saying there are lazies who don't talk about bugs in the floor?! I need one of those ASAP! Both Spork and Cranston talk about them constantly. Gross.
I'm also encouraged to hear that there are friendlier/nicer uchis. Diva is just rude and sarcastic all the time. We're supposedly good friends but she's still such a jerk to me. ;_;
this is very interesting, I’ll write out my villager’s personalities just to contribute and hopefully gather more data on this. Dom is my only jock, but like others have said, he loves to naruto run more than actually exercising. He is also ALWAYS eating a donut.
Melba and Merengue have similar dialogue, but Melba clearly loves to read and observe flowers, bugs, trees. Merengue doesn’t read at all, and instead loves to walk around, water my flowers, and converse with other villagers. They both work out, and I see Merengue doing yoga more than Melba.
Erik and Stitches also have VERYY similar dialogue. They both are super adorable and seem more on the childish side. I notice that Stitches talks more about food and likes to naruto run, whereas Erik talks more about bugs, and loves to fish and observe trees, flowers, bugs.
Eugene is my only smug so far, and he seems to be on the flirty side, rather than polite, and LOVES to sing and dance. Hoping to eventually replace Eugene with Julian, so if anyone has Julian I’d love to know if he’s like this as well.
Apollo is my cranky and he also LOVES to sing and water my flowers. He always comments about having no energy and admires how I always run around the island doing things. He may be more on the "grandpa" side? Im not 100% sure.
Phoebe loves to weightlift and workout. She doesn’t sing at all, and seems to have more of an edgy way of speaking compared to Katt, my old uchi. Katt used to sing all the time and was super social with the rest of my villagers. Katt seemed slightly more "sisterly" compared to Phoebe.
Bianca is ALWAYS talking about wanting to be a popstar, which is surprising cause I think someone else on here mentioned she talks about movies and shows a lot. She also always does yoga.
wow, this is interesting. I'm really hoping the sub-types are "set" instead of randomly generated for each villager, that way there can maybe be an eventual list of who does what. (though there could also be a disadvantage to that, if 2+ of your dreamies are the same personality AND same type.) there's several villager personalities I've wanted multiples of, but I've been wary of repetitive dialogue... this could actually be a pretty big game changer.
I'll say that my audie works out a LOT, it feels like she's in her workout gear 24/7, whereas I've had other peppies on my island that I never noticed that with. punchy was definitely the type of lazy villager that talked about bugs a lot, I believe my stitches wasn't and was more about food etc but I gave him away pretty quickly so my memory is fuzzy. cyd mentioned his "old bones" and stuff like that often (maybe the sub-types of crankies are old vs... something else?), I just moved in wolfgang so I'm going to be paying attention to see if he does the same.
maybe there'll be some sort of community resource (either here or on another platform) where people can report what villagers they have + what behavior they've noticed. this is actually pretty cool. I was hoping for more villager variety in NH and this might've been how they did it.
I have Hamphrey, and he's pretty rude at times. Which is hilarious, since she seems to really enjoy staring at flowers all day. There's also Freya, who has not very snooty dialogue -- you'd think she was Normal!
wow! so we weren't just imagining it?! this is very cool, it definitely helps give the villagers more variety. reading through this thread i think it's likely the subtype is set for each villager, as most people are agreeing about the behavior of their copies, but some do not and there's definitely not enough data yet to tell for sure.
as for mine:
stitches talks a lot about the bugs and seems zany and rather childish. he doesn't talk about food hardly at all. i was surprised at this behavior because it didn't seem very much like the lazies from past games. but i recently got rodeo who is already giving me new dialogue i haven't seen before - acting more like a 'classic' lazy who talks about food a lot.
my audie, like a lot of people have been saying, works out a LOT. it's very cute with her bright glasses lol. my other peppy, nibbles, i've never seen her work out other than the yoga stretching. i've seen audie talk about tv shows and manga though she and nibbles both talk about the pop star thing a lot.
for my 2 normals, i haven't noticed much dialogue difference, maybe slight. marcie waters flowers all the time, talks about books and reading, and is found in her house a lot. i've never seen her sing. she also sends me the most letters of anyone, often unprompted. savannah on the other hand loves to sing. i find her singing pretty much every day. she hangs around the plaza a lot and often talks to other villagers, seeming more extroverted in general.
my first jock, rowan, i didn't have very long but he was extremely muscles focused in dialogue and usually found lifting weights outside his house. snake i just got recently and though he still talks about working out quite a bit he already seems less annoying to me. He fishes and sits under trees a lot.
i've had two crankies, avery and ricky both of whom were very old man. i really didn't like the shift of cranky from actually-grumpy to just old-man, so it's really encouraging to hear there's another subtype i might like more.
my snooty, pancetti, definitely seemed to be the aunt-type. i'm about to have velma move in so it'll be interesting to see if she'll be the same.
I have 2 uchis (Plucky and Katt). Katt seems more tomboyish compared to Plucky. Plucky carries around a lunchbox quite often.
I also have 2 crankies (Grizzly and Cyrano) and Cyrano is more rude than Grizzly. Grizzly is more of the nice old man stereotype while Cyrano is the mean old man stereotype.
I get my second snooty (Naomi) tomorrow so I will compare her to Gigi when she moves in.
One thing about Gigi is that she is very proper but not mean. Maybe only slightly shady. And she carries a purse around and does yoga a LOT. Curious how Naomi is going to act.
My lazy is Moe and he rarely talks about bugs on the floor but he does talk more about food. He like the “classic” lazy. He sent me a letter saying he dipped it in gravy and licked it off.
Rosie is my only peppy and she always talks about being a pop star and she is always singing in the town square.
Dora is my sweet villager and she is the nicest villager on the island. She also loves talking about books
My only one I’m confused about is my smug villager, Huck. He never really talks about one thing exclusively. He will sometimes mention his clothes but he never flirts. But he does like to show off poses and stuff.
Julian and Colton are very simliar, in your face outgoing and Raymond is more lay down and polite.
Rod is more chill and Dom is an emotional rollercoaster.
I get a lot of repeat dialogue from my two smugs, Raymond and Henry. Maybe having the same dialogue indicates they are of the same subtype?
It's really cool that the subtype system was introduced, and it'd be great if we could figure out what villagers belong to what subtype. I do't want to boot out Raymond or Henry, but in the future, it'd be nice to know so I can try and get a different subtype for my 10th villager.
This is so cool to know! I wish there was a clear way to know which subtypes are what and for what villagers these apply to but I guess I'll have to see them for myself
This is awesome! I have noticed that my two lazies (prior to claude leaving) had different quirks, its very interesting
I've noticed that my normals have different quirks too, Molly is constantly working out whereas Marina is always singing and sitting down looking at the sky. They are both too cute.
