Villager Personality Traits (And Sub-Personalities?)

[Hamilton]

(Congrats everyone! Now I'm actually posting again!)

One thing I've noticed recently about my villagers is that their dialogue is different from other villagers I've had in previous towns. I'm pretty sure that after going through a good many villages that each personality type is broken into 2 sub- personalities. I'm not positive if it is villager specific (i.e. Chow is always this subcategory of Cranky, etc.) but I do know that the villagers can have wildly different dialogue even if they are from the same base personality. So far I've mainly been noticing it with Crankies, but I've also seen some different dialogue from other personality types.

Anyone have some input on this?

I don't think this is true, personally. It's likely that each personality has a set of dialogue from which the AI can choose, some favor different phrases but it's entirely random. I don't think that type of procedural generation necessary qualifies as sub categories of the basic personalities, though.
