Bowing villagers, yay or nay?

[King Dorado]

Well its more apropos to the game since it's Japanese, I always considered it like that, that the bowers were Japanese and the wavers were American or something...

i thought this too-- my original bowers were Drago, who had exotic furniture and imperial KK in his house, and Lolly who looks like Hello Kitty to me. so i thought they were the "japanese" characters.

For certain personalities, it's cuter to bow. Like the normals and lazies.

 

[Cherubi]

It's adorable. I prefer bowing over waving any day. It's so cute, sometimes I'll just enter and leave villagers houses just to watch which animation they do when I leave.

 

[Mimi Cheems]

Tia is my bower!

 

[TheGreatBrain]

I think it's cute when they bow.

That's what I thought at first, but then decided it was extroverted VS introverted.

Ozzie was an introvert=bowed

Phoebe super extroverted=waves

I agree! Bowing seems like something a smug would do. And maybe a snooty. But I don't mind bowing or waving because it's all cute.

I do think that the bowing is more polite, and something a smug would do--however I love how happy & friendly Keaton looks when he gives me a big, friendly wave--warms my heart!

I thought it was super cute when Stitches bowed though!

 

[Romaki]

Oh, I thought they started bowing with a higher friendship...
I really don't care about it either way though.

 

[piske]

I love it, it's super cute. Especially because they smile when they do it :>

 

[LegallyBlondie]

I just wish Genji would bow. T___T
It would fit him so well, lol.

Lazy and Normal villagers bow, and I find it so cute. I wish Smug and Snooty types would also bow when you leave, bowing looks polite/prim and proper, so it would suit both personalities well.

In my current town, Bones is the only one that bows down. Because he's a lazy villager. Maybe he's lazy enough to raise his hand and wave it, bowing is easier to do... haha.

 

[Goth]

I never noticed villagers bow

:O

 

[Minerva]

I love it when Lolly does her little bow.

 

[nerdatheart9490]

I used to have a lazy dog who did that. I forget his name. But I thought it was really cute

 

[freqrexy]

While I understand the Japanese origins of bowing when greeting people, I do however think it's really appropriate for the villager types that have it.

It also helps a lot that Pekoe has been one of my starting villagers; she's a normal cub; and her house is trimmed up like a Chinese rural house. So it makes perfect sense that she should bow when I leave my house, and that's why she'll be the sole permanent resident in town

 

[Rabirin]

I feel like if you were making a zen themed town, bowing would be appropriate. But it's very cute to see!

 

[gingerbread]

I think it's cute.

 

[Mayor Rose]

I think it's cute, but I wouldn't mind if they did or didn't do it.

 

[MapleLeafKangaroos]

I'm not too peeved about it, however, I don't exactly 'not mind it'. I'm not exactly sure why, it just kind of annoys me a little.

But it's better than nothing, as it was in past games :'D

 

[pika62221]

Never noticed that. Guess its just a fun easter egg

it's because of the Japanese connection, only lazy and normals bow, the others wave. They added this as an emotion in HHD. It's titled "maybe next time" in Japanese, and "apologize" in English, but you can bow to any villager now, and I personally love it, you know because of the country from which this franchise came. They tend to BOW there!!

 

[SoftFairie]

I don't hate it but I just think that the villagers who wave are cuter :3
