Two sub-types of each personality?

Interestingly I’ve just watched through 25+ of clips on Twitter of random people’s Pango interactions & she has repeatedly said lines of dialogue about being a famous Popstar that Anabelle has literally never mentioned once to me in what must be 100s of times of me talking to her, so I honestly don’t know what to think. I might amiibo card her in & see the differences myself in person, but they DO definitely seem different to me.

Interesting! This tracks with what I mentioned earlier about the person who said their Opal and Olivia (Snooty's) talk about different things even though I looked them up and they're both a 1.
 
For people looking at the spreadsheet, if you hover your mouse over the second column (name, style per, color 1) you can see labels for what the numbers might mean. Like under AH it says NpcTalkType. Most of you probably know that, I just don't deal with spreadsheets often

All my villagers that sing often are interested in music. Though Lucky is supposed to be interested in play even though he fishes non stop. Unless play just means doing something and nature is when they look at stuff withe the book/magnifying glass?

My two snooties, Diana and Snooty, have the same interest and talk type. They behave the same and give all the same dialog. Interested in education and they are always reading at home

However my peppy villagers, Sprinkle and Wendy, also give all the same dialog and they have different talk types. Different interests as well, but I haven't paid much attention to their outdoor animations since I thought they were random. What do fashion villagers do? Wendy doesn't carry purses or visit Able Sisters more than anyone else. She may change her outfit more often, but I also think I've also given her the most clothing so I can't say for sure.
 
Audie (who is peppy) works out more than my jock (Antonio) which is really wacky to me, and by way more--- I mean she is ALWAYS working out. I'm surprised she isn't jacked by now. I have two peppys (Audie & Flora) and I love Audie so much more because she does more than talk about her pop star shenanigans.

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.

My Ed studies SO MUCH too. Like, he is always in the museum, staring at the fossils and fish especially. He stares at trees/ flowers/ bugs and loves smelling the flowers/opening books to study them. It's honestly really cute.

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.View attachment 245097
Where’d u find the guide??? I was told it’s release got postponed!!!!
 
it would be interesting to get more info on this! i'd love to know what the sub-type for each villager is (or if it's not fixed) and what kind of traits are even associated with the sub-types. :0
either way, i love it that they decided to incorporate something like this! the variety makes having more than one villager of a given personality so much more fun! i definitely noticed that on my island chief is very different to fang and wolfgang. chief loves to sing and dance whereas i've never once seen neither fang nor wolfgang do those things.

edit: ok i read the datamined info, it'd seem to describle my villagers pretty well. renee, kyle, marina, skye and chief sing a lot, wolfgang and fang mainly read and inspect nature, dom and stitches like to run around, phoebe used to work out etc.

Ohhhh I’m sad about that, I love both of those & I was hoping they would be slightly different enough that I could justify having both in my island without them being identical in & speech/interests etc.
I would say to grab both of them anyway. There's no telling that the NpcTalkType bool is actually responsible for the sub-personalities for sure (yet), and if they end up being the same, there's no harm in rearranging it's residents.
 
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.
I have Rodeo as well, and I can confirm he acts like he did in New Leaf. Benedict is always talking about bugs, but Rodeo only mentioned bugs once or twice.

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 Gigi is much the same. She's like a proper auntie lady, and she loves walking around town with a purse.

I had two Peppies at one point, Puddles and Cheri, and they have basically the same personality. I have two Normals now, Gayle and Daisy, and they also act very similar. One thing is, though, Gayle talks more about reading and writing.

I got it from Amazon in the UK and I’m pretty sure the only reason it came is because I preordered it in Feb, looking now, I’m not sure it’s even available. I think I preordered it before I even preordered the game!

I just want to say you have contributed so much to this thread, I mean, everyone has but when I started it I was so hoping we could talk about the data as well as our experiences and you brought that. I have been studying the spreadsheet and it’s fascinating, explains so much while still leaving me with so many questions. If you do start something to collate the data, could you let me know, I want to contribute.
 
I have three sweets at the moment. Maple and Mitzi act quite alike, they both sometimes wear reading glasses and study from books. Whereas with Annalisa the anteater, I don’t think I’ve seen her with books or glasses and she seems to smell flowers a lot. Her dialogue also seems a little shyer but I’m not sure if I’m imagining that.

The lazies I’ve had; Drago seemed just like a chill guy and talked about food a lot, whereas Erik and Bones seem a lot more childish, always talking about bugs.

The snooties felt like nearly completely different personalities. Bitty literally behaved like your kind and elegant old aunt. But then Francine acted like a more typical snooty, talking more fashion etc, and definitely no old lady vibes with her.

Reneigh my uchi definitely seems like the nicer kind of uchi. She was only a little sassy at first but she’s overall very sweet. She is always airplaning around and she waves goodbye with two hooves. I recently had Muffy move in so I’ll see how she behaves. But she hasn’t been rude or sassy to me so far.

My smugs; Quillson sung A LOT. Julian never sings and his dialogue is slightly different, seems more charismatic than Quillson.

My peppy Penelope had a lot of popstar dialogue.

My crankies Walt and Gonzo acted pretty similar, gave me old man vibes as they mentioned their age every so often.

on the spreadsheet, the voice pitches dont seem to be correlated to personality type anymore.
 
Really interesting info that I bookmarked the spreadsheet, I'm going to look over the spreadsheet for the sub-types of the villagers I like.

The personality types have different sounds, but each personality type has 3 different pitches.

I realized I should've linked the data collection efforts here. Oops. Here you go.

The idea is to collect as much data as possible on a given villager personality (mystery tours are an easy way to do that) and then compare each villager's frequency of dialogue to their parameters in an effort to see if there are any clear parallels between a single variable and a "sub-personality". We'll see how it goes.

Ahhhh ok. We preordered it either end of feb/early March but amazon pushed the release date back so it now says to be released on 4/30. 😭😭😭
 
Can anyone describe what their "fashion"-interest villagers are like? I don't have any at the moment and am wondering if I should try to get one for interest diversity.

The other interests seem to have pretty clear correlations in my own villager observations:
- Nature (Merengue) - often found with a book looking at plants
- Play (Stitches) - running around doing naruto runs
- Education (Coco) - often seen sitting down reading a book with big glasses; also uses a magnifier glass to look at things
- Music (Shari) - sings a LOT

I also don't have any fitness types, but I assume that's just working out a lot. But I am really curious what a fashion interest results in!

My island has Whitney and Felicity, they usually dress up nicely (sunglasses/purses) and just walk around the town looking fashionable lol, nothing really special.
 
Slightly off-topic but is the guide worth getting? And/or would it be worth getting for someone new to the Animal Crossing series? Thinking I should suggest it to my mom.

On topic, Sherb talks about the bugs all the time, but Punchy has yet to mention a single bug.
 
FWIW, I think it would be useful if participants in this thread could take special note of their villagers with the same personality types and different interests/NpcTalkType values. Is anyone interested in doing some field research on this? If so, I'll start a thread.

Heres what I've got in terms of dialogue style so far:
Snooty: I only have Diana (0) and as people have mentioned, she's sweet and very aunt-like
Lazy: I only have Erik (0) and he talks about bugs non-stop. Doesn't really mention food much, except for when he's talking about food stains on his clothes
Peppy: I have Ruby (1) and used to have Apple (0) as a starter, and all I can really say here is that Ruby is much more chill and less obnoxious. Although I hated Apple so this is probably more my own biased opinion than actual observation
Cranky: I have Bruce (0) and Wolfgang (1) but haven't noticed any particular differences in their dialogue yet. I'll keep an eye out for this
Smug: I have Zell (0) and Raymond (1). I'll look out for differences as I talk to them over the next few days
 
Interesting!

I have two lazies and two normals.

Punchy ninja runs and runs around with his arms out. Beau would rather sit under a tree or fish.

Marina and Flurry sadly like to do the exact same things.

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?

My Marina NEVER sings and neither does Flurry.

I really like the guide, as a base game companion it’s great, has the clothing, furniture, DIY etc catalogues with pictures and where everything is obtained from. Hybrid breeding combinations, pages with all the villagers on and info about how to get perfect town status (with calculations, so quite specific). The only thing I can really fault is that with the big, free DLC updates we’re getting, it now feels a little out of date already!! Like, no shrub and Leif info, no artwork list, some new achievements missing, no list of events (info on seasons and seasonal recipes though). I totally understand why it’s like that, but it feels really odd for it to already have so much missing. I like it though, glad I bought!!
