what are the things you JUST noticed about acnl?

After a year & a half of playing the game, I just noticed that if you continue talking to someone outside as many times as you can, the villager you're speaking to will eventually start wandering around, contemplating things as something is "on their mind".

In the older Animal Crossings, if you did the same thing, they would get annoyed by it and your friendship with them would go down.

Yeah, that's definitely what I'm used to & I tried to avoid doing it in NL but finding out that they didn't get annoyed was also another surprise to me.
 
Celia, an eagle in Palette, leaves a skinny foot mark in the snow. I didn't think they really put that in their and i think it's really cool. I thought all villagers had the same generic foot mark.
 
I feel like bumping this thread because why not.

I noticed the cats no longer wear dresses in this game. Did all the cats grow except for their dresses which turned into shirts pretty much?

All villagers only wear shirts(except for sheep, who only wear scarves).
 
I was saying before New Leaf, when certain species wear shirts and it makes the shirt look like a dress. Even with the males.

Deer fall into that category~
I believe it's because they tend to be on the short side :)
 
I just noticed something hilarious, villagers can clap with one hand! (they do it if they're carrying something with the other hand)...
and oh they can also clap with no hands! XD you can see it at the end of the fishing tourney as the villagers who are carrying their trophies clap with the others while they have their hands full, it just looks as if they're bobbing their heads! lol silly Nintendo :P

It took me almost a year to notice that the fairy tale clock is animated. On the hour a little soldier comes out and blows a horn:

A bird on your bulletin board means you have a new post; at the same time, a bird shaped symbol will show on the new post
 
I didn't know Soleil was Snooty! xD And that online multiplayer on the island with friends is super fun, much to my embarrassment. c:
 
That Hopper doesn't go to sleep till like 3am?? No wonder the dude sleeps in so late XD I also didn't know there are different grass patterns (triangle, circle ect)
 
I just realised how strange it is that Reese can tell if a Redd painting is fake.

Like, Blathers probably went to the University of Bird McBirdford and Reese probably didn't go to university, set up a re-tail to help Cyrus support their 3 kids and can still tell if the Mona Lisa's a fake. (lol that's just my headcannon)

But yea, I know for the purposes of the game she has to be able to tell, because fake art is worthless and has to be trashed. :p
Omg university of bird mcbirdford which is for birds lol
I noticed that Redd gets anxious the more you look at his paintings. He started sweating once after I was looking at the fourth painting lol

today I noticed that if you go to a villager's house and they have a closet, when you open that closet you'll get a comment that differs from personality to another. when I went to some of my cranky villagers' houses and opened their closets it said they keep old burgers or sandwiches in there, and when I went to Kyle's house (Smug) the comment I got is that his closet smells like cologne~
