I never realized this, but when your character stands on the stair his leg is raised. It's also true for that part where the grass meets the beach. Just discovered that today.
the toes thing is why i don’t wear sandals in game that often lol. they just look like potato wedges sticking out of the shoe to me!! it’s kind of annoying haha
other than that i love the little flickering of neon lights signs when you turn them on/off. also the fuzzy textures of a lot of the rugs.
When Nook and Isabelle exercise at RS. Raymond's little teeth. Villagers paws. The little things they carry when walking around the island. Villagers waving at you and each other
I love the different sounds rugs/flooring make. Especially rugs aaah! It’s such a nice “clunky” sound if that makes sense? I also like how the flooring in Lucky’s house (mud) makes squelching sounds
I love the little things such as variable walking sounds based on your footwear. Also watching my villagers drink their peach smoothies makes me really crave one myself.
Also; the different mouth and eye combinations are amazing. There is sooo much variety now! My character looks like he’s done with everything whenever I pull up the pocket lol
I noticed this really late into the game but when your character has the inventory open they look towards the left / right side depending on where your cursor is
I noticed Blathers and how he reacts to things. If you tell him no to more info on a fossil he seems disappointed. He's neutral for fish and he looks relieved with the bugs.
I love how my villager wanders around a little bit when I go put down my controllers or go afk... oh wait that's just joycon drift . I do really like how they added fleas that you can see bouncing around on villagers though, and I also find it pretty fun that in summer if you stand still too long you end up getting bitten by a mosquito haha (although that also gives me slight anxiety irl because I hate mosquitoes).
