Concept I heard

[Lavamaize]

I was scrolling through the comments on a video about ACNH and I saw someone say that since isabelle can come to your town maybe you are a retired mayor like tortimer who went to live on an island!

 

[Paperboy012305]

It's likely you'll still be the mayor because there is no town hall on that island, and Isabelle can really convince you to build a town hall there so she can be your secretary there once again.

After all, you start this game from the "Ground Up".

I don't like the retired idea personally. It's very possible though.

 

[carackobama]

I’m not sure how I feel about this idea but it’s interesting and definitely would make sense!

 

[JKDOS]

No. Players who are new to the game would be like "What is this mayor nonsense?" if it was a sequel and all....

And no, I am pretty sure we will not be the mayor again. Being the mayor again is like being the Dragonborn again in Elder Scrolls 6. It's very unlikely.

I'm also on team "not the Mayor." The island is owned by Nook Inc. It doesn't mean we will get any less freedom, though.

It would be really cool to see Isabelle take on a different role in the new game. I am hoping that if we do get to play as mayor, that we will get more power such as some power over the businesses and where villager plots go. At this stage as SpirtofAce said, the money making companies are in charge!

I don't want to go back to Nook being the boss after being Mayor for so long.

Me Big Kahuna.
Island style.

As we know she will appear in the game when you've progressed so far, so maybe she arrives to help with the extra work load of whatever it is your job is other than crafting or to help tom nook?

 

[Sweetley]

Isn't Isabelle kinda too young to already retiring? Besides, if there is one character where this would
make more sense then it's Resetti, since not only he's being here since the first Animal Crossing game
(= older than Isabelle), but also because he lost his old job as the whole saving progress of the game
got changed up, which means nobody knows what will happen to him or what kind of rule he has now.
So I guess it's more likely for Resetti getting retired and maybe living either on his own island or
Tortimer shares his island with him, having now also another opinion about saving your game since
with auto saving, everything works different now and he has not to worry about anymore that you
would forget saving your game (so basically, Resetti gets more chill over this).

As for Isabelle, I could imagine her becoming the mayor of the town you creating on that desert island.
The player would be known as the towns founder and Isabelle would get her promotion. After all, I don't
wanna be the mayor with her being my assistant again, so I wouldn't mind if Isabelle becomes the mayor
now.

Now tell me. Why would someone make a discussion thread off of a random comment posted on YouTube?

 

[ilpo]

Oh no, I don't wanna be some old man in the island.
