Animal Crossing Direct Discussion Thread

[McRibbie]

OK, I've been at work this afternoon, but took my break when the update direct came out, so now's FINALLY the time to hit enter on my keyboard too early, try getting the admins to delete the post, fail, try writing some more stuff, give up because it's getting late, then come back to edit the post a couple of days later to go "hahaha I failed, will try again soon"

also ty once again @WaileaNoRei for liking my post, even if it IS half written

 

[Moritz]

Oh that makes sense but are they NPCs or villagers? =o I really want Cephalabot and Wardell. I'm so happy they added another Octopus since it's my favorite animal and love the Gyroids too!

Wardell is an npc for the paid dlc
Cephalabot is a villager who can move to your island

20 minutes was literally all they needed, and man oh man was that a LOT to take in if this update doesn't add 2+ years to your play time of ACNH then I don't know what more you could ask for! Nintendo went ALL OUT on this game and then some. New villagers, new ways to customize your island and house AND now even villager house interiors/exteriors? That's really cool. More of this and more of that, Brewster & gyroids, more storage space, ladders, more bridges and ramps, return of Kapp'n, Harriet and Katrina, Happy Home Paradise....the list just goes on and on! I still can't wrap my head around everything that's coming this November!

New kinds of flora, too...and farming?? Now THAT's awesome I'm going to have to re-do my pumpkin patch and expand it for sure just to include all the new crops!

I can imagine how many people are going to reset their islands now just to make room for all the amazing goodies we're getting! It's literally a lot of great stuff, and I'm happy it's stuff almost the entire community wanted! As I watched Kapp'n's segment I was soooo ready to see the return of island tour mini-games! What we got....well, it's nice enough, but island tours would have been insane!

But hmmm.... I was surprised there's no Nook's Cranny expansion? Well it's no biggie. Everything else we're getting is more than good enough to let that slide ^^

Those are villagers. Wait sorry Wardell is Npc

I just watched the AC direct and I'm sooo excited!!! I can't wait to farm and the DCL looks awesome too!!! I told my husband he may lose me for a bit once the update and DLC arrives. Lol!!

Aww no Wardell which makes sense since he's a Walrus but at least I can get Cephalabot [=

 

[KittenNoir]

Omg YASSSSSSSSS so many new items finally!!!!! and new Nook Mile items added that's all I wanted was more items like pocket camp.

And Kapp'n is back!!!!!!

Did anyone catch furniture sets in the direct?
I know the Rococco set is shown and someone mentioned Ranch as well. Anything else?

pretty sure there was (what looked like) an astro chair in the shot of the storage expanding, along with the rococo chair and sofa, but it could've also been the crew captain's chair thing from NL. also one of the HHP rooms had sleek furniture, i think.

 

[Serabee]

Oh, man... I watched part of it before work and then on the way to work (don't worry, I wasn't driving, lol) and I'm SO SO SO pumped! Basically all the different things I wanted, I got. More furniture (love how they slipped the froggy chair in a few times, lol), cooking, farming, the Roost, new villagers... AND the DLC looks epic. I was so worried any DLC would be super controversial because everyone usually whines about how we should get the DLC stuff for free. But the DLC is basically a sequel to HHD. But connected to the main game. And for only $25. Like... that's such a great deal, I can't see how I could complain about it at all! I'm a -little- bummed it'll be the last update, but IDK what I could even ask for after this. I mean, I don't know if we'll be getting any more shop upgrades, but at this point they really don't seem very important! I also would've liked more buildings for my island... but I'm still cool with what we got. I'm going to need to do some remodeling, anyway, to get a proper farm set up! I have a mini one right now, but I'll need more space for crops.

Also, the new villagers. Sasha is precious. But. Shino. Is. GORGEOUS. Like, most beautiful villager ever. I love her no matter what personality she'll have, but if she's sisterly, she is officially perfect

IIRC, I saw something that looked like a Sleek Sofa. I'm honestly guessing most sets will return- if not in the update, at least in the DLC.
(also, love the new ranch kitchen!)

 

[floatingzoo]

Just rewatching the trailers and there are actually soooo many new furniture items. We got the bus stop back too though it looks a bit different now.

OH MY YES
I wanted this so bad in New Leaf but my villagers never suggested it! Ah thank you for pointing this out!

I'm watching the stream again because I was screaming too much to pay attention last time.

Redd is going to be permanent too? I just saw him on Harv's Island looking shady! So what is the secret beach going to be for is Redd will no longer occupy it?

What? Where?! I didn't catch it! That's very exciting.

 

[psiJordan]

I assumed they still come visit, but maybe not. Guess we’ll be seeing the washed up birds a lot more if so though!

The last item is a trellis. One of the many items in Pocket Camp I’m glad to welcome to this game

looks like his raffle box is there as well, interesting!

 

[HappyTails]

I just can't the park fences. I'm telling you guys. Those park fences are going to take over my island.

I'd expect Redd and maybe the other wandering visitors to keep coming, but maybe not the plaza visitors, once you get ability to decorate your plaza. Plaza might work more like pocket camp than us having complete freedom

I didn’t catch that. That makes me so happy. Will have to watch the direct again.
