Why do people want The Roost back?

[Xara]

the roost isn’t something that i’m dying to have back but like others have said, brewster + the roost have been around since the very beginning and they’re a staple in the series so, it definitely feels odd not having them around aha. and plus, the thought of new content + potentially a new building is always sexy and, if the part-time minigame returns, it’ll give us something new to do for a bit and some new items to collect.

and plus, it’s widely assumed that when brewster returns, gyroids will, too, which again,, will be pretty sexy. i wasn’t all that into gyroids in the past but i gotta be honest, i kinda miss the weird singing statues lmao. but overall, the game feels a lil flat with certain staple features + npcs missing and so, having brewster and the roost return will be a step towards fixing that imo aha.

also, i miss the to-go coffee

I used to get so mad in Wild World when I would dig them up after expecting a new fossil, and they kind of creeped me out at the time (but I would still decorate my house with the cute ones). But I started to miss them within my first week of playing New Horizons. I want the little singing statues back

I'm super excited for The Roost and Brewster because I've never experienced them before! The whole concept seems like a lot of fun to me. Personally, I hope he gets his own building because it would be super cute and my island could use another shopping building. If he doesn't get his own building and is in the museum instead it wont bother me, just isn't my first choice.

I liked to buy coffee there hahaha

I am one of those who hopes that the cafe is part of the museum though, cause a coffee shop really doesn't fit the theme of my town and I'd feel pressured to make some kind of small shopping district which I don't have room for

I would want The Roost back since I never had a chance to experience it in New Leaf. It would be another way to interact with villagers too.

 

[SugarMage]

Talking to Brewster every day was my favorite part of my daily's list in Wild World so it'd be nice to have him back.

 

[John Wick]

I want it back, but as part of the museum.

To get K.K. out of the way of RS.

 

[deana]

I would really really like another building. I was bummed when dream suite didn't get it's own building

I did also enjoy working there and serving coffee. Especially when villager who you've never seen before would come by!! That was always so exciting to me. Maybe it's less exciting now that we can visit nook mile islands but I think it would still be fun.

 

[toonafeesh]

I want a job at the Roost so I can escape the reality of not having a job irl

also Brewster's gyroid is cute!

 

[Bilaz]

The music is ridiculously nostalgic for me, I don’t even need any new features (though of course I would love anything new and any new items!). I just want to sit down and drink coffee to the nostalgic music like I’ve done for years.

it WOULD be awesome though if he came with a Gyroid display section in the museum ( I love gyroids but I’ve never been able to make my own display of them in previous games) and/or came as a source for café themed DIYs and maybe even the sweets series? Sweets series DIYs that can be made with items grown like pumpkins?

But that is just fun speculation, I really just miss his music

 

[dragonair]

Nostalgia and comfort for me. Cafes irl always give me a cozy feeling and I got the from The Roost as well ; v ;

 

[meggiewes]

I liked hanging out in the Roost and getting to see NPCs have coffee. It was always fun to talk to them when they were "off the job" so to speak. I also liked working at the cafe and getting to know my villager's favorite coffee orders. It gave me a way to interact with them. Plus you got to unlock special coffee-related items!

Now that I have decided to spread out on my island, I would be ok with the Roost going to the museum. It would give me an excuse to go to the museum every day instead of when I feel like it or when I'm ready to donate something else. Plus, you could really have museum dates with your friends then!

 

[grayacnh]

It could bring a lot to the game I think, being able to hold drinks, hang out w villagers there, idk if love it. Maybe coffee could speed up digging/walking/watering/cutting trees down etc, that would be really cool.
Also maybe if you hit a rock after drinking coffee, bigger rocks / more than one come out in a stack kind of thing.

 

[Corndoggy]

dirnking coffee is cute and brings me joy, also my boy brewster is my fave npc coo~!

 

[bestfriendsally]

i liked the roost, kinda in wild world...

but i don't drink coffee.....

 

[DinoTown]

Because as foul as coffee is in real life, there's something so calming about sitting and chatting with rooster over a fresh hot cup of disgusting bean juice

 

[milraen]

I know it’s a less popular opinion but I’m hoping the cafe won’t be a separate building and will be combined with the museum! I just have no space on my island for it and I don’t want to decide what to tear down. I’ve already got an outdoor cafe too which I really like. I’d rather have more furniture added to the game, rather than a building. I have difficulty as well deciding what to do with the area behind buildings.

 

[AccfSally]

I hope he wants to collect gyroids again, I loved giving him them back in CF.

 

[Marshmallows]

I loved going in and taking a mini break, ordering a coffee, enjoying the ambiance, seeing who else was there.... it was a super relaxing part of the game. Also the building exterior was really nice.

I collected the gyroids, too and I hope they come back. But I also kinda hope they give us museum exhibits back or some place to display them because I could find a place for a few, but dozens was a bit much.

 

[Mick]

I probably wouldn't visit the cafe daily, but it would be something else to do? More varied activities definitely help to keep me interested in the game.

As for the gyroids, I really don't see the appeal. Sure you can build a collection but for what? To put them in a second character's storage and forget about them? Also if they spawn after every rainy day then I'll have to spend a lot of time either digging up and disposing of them or covering my island in invisible patterns to block their spawns. I'd rather see more furniture added than some wobbly things that don't fit with anything.
