They seem to be doing alright.
I think it's interesting to note that Nintendo has stated that there will be no new personality types but they haven't said anything about whether or not there will be any new species.No news might be good news for those that want new species.

I hate to tell you, and cause more controversy, but this is a game.

Yes, it's animal crossing and the "animal" part is important, and yes, new faces would be nice, but tbh unless you're extremely addicted or you have a cycling shop, I honestly doubt most players will have encountered AND will remember every single villager AND all of their traits, personality, dialogue, etc. If new villagers aren't added I won't really care a bit, since this version seems to be more about developing your island. And regardless, just solely based on probability, there's a hella good chance my starters will be ones I've never had before.
Now, I don't care about the hate I'm gonna get for saying this: animal crossing isn't solely about the animals. And this new version? Crafting, collecting resources??? New plant growing mechanics?? We gone Minecraft bois. New Horizons is going to have a LOT of new stuff, and I'm much more looking forward to new actual features (outdoor furniture so I can barricade my town yes pls) than new faces that I realistically won't have a high probability of seeing on my own island. Like, if they add say 20 new villagers, there's already say 500-ish old ones reused, that means there's barely any % chance of greeting a new one when I start my island.
If I could choose where they spent their dev time, I would want more new stuff so it feels like a brand new experience-- like I want New Horizons to not even remind me of New Leaf, I want something fresh. And so far, it's looking damn fresh. Unless they give ALL villagers a MASSIVE overhaul and make them seem less robotic and actually act like villagers, then I honestly don't care. Their dialogues are too repetitive and they do literally nothing half the time in New Leaf, so seeing them progress with me would be amazing.
also lol y'know all the people in this thread that are saying they fine if some oldies get thanos snapped are gonna be throwing temper tantrums themselves once their dreamies get snapped. can't wait for the real ****storm to happen if that's what nintendo is planning lmao

Overall I agree with your point that there?s more to the game than just the Animals?I will say that I?d be excited to see new species and designs though, no matter how unlikely it is that I?ll get them anytime soon (by your logic we also shouldn?t worry about our favorite 20 being cut either then, right?)
That aside, I?m not expecting any tantrums on my end. I?d only be upset at Nintendo if they pulled something similar to Pok?mon and cut an unreasonably high percentage. Even if I didn?t care about any of those villagers personally, that would still bother me more than losing a few favorites.
If they want to add new villagers, then add new ones in form of N64/GC villagers that never got
the chance to be in another AC game. Because these villagers are the ones that are forgotten,
probably not even known by lots of today's fans. So instead of entirely new villagers, I would
welcome it more to give these old villagers a chance to shine in a newer game. Yes, even if
that means a bunch of the current ones are getting cut. Honestly, I wouldn't even mind it if
they exchanging some villagers at this point.
Otherwise, I will just accept it whatever they gonna do. By the end of the day, I guess I will
pay more attention of building my island rather than what villagers I have right now.

i agree with this! idk if i said it before, but i want new horizons to be a chance for me to make new dreams and have new opinions on villagers. if some get removed, it'll be sad but we'll deal with it. if some get added, we'll be super excited and eager to have them in our island! i'm just so excited...

you know octopus villagers already exist right? and that they've been in the series since the beginning?
lol....... if you make that point then ALL OF animal crossing isn't feasible. animals talking? living in houses? making relationships? wearing clothes? none of it is feasible but its a fictional game so we put up with it.......
Actually, yes I do need new villagers thank you.
Yes I would like and kind of expect to see new faces. Not necessarily new species but at least new villagers of already existing species.
It's something very important for me as I hope that one of my future dreamy will be in the new villagers.
So yes, we do need new villagers.

You don’t have a dreamy y?t?

lol I misread that at first and thought you were making a statement about our current economy—saying we couldn’t afford to live in houses. Wasn’t until I got to the wearing clothes part that I realized you meant the animals, not us xD

I'm assuming very few people on this forum are game developers, we do not know the internal workings of nintendo nor with the various teams who are working currently on the game. not only that but why not have both? like why have a limit of either depth in villagers or variety of villagers? We want nintendo to do great things so push them to do more, to do greater. to implement more personalities, more complex interactions and social structures, and more villagers to experience it with,

"One of my future dreamy" implies that I already have some. I would like to have a new dreamy in the new villagers.
As much as I would like to debate this topic, I don't really think this game WON'T have any new villagers... so it's kinda hard to see the point at least for me to do so. I'd be extremely surprised to not see any new villagers in this entry in the series, considering New Leaf has a plethora of them, especially with an update (even if they were amiibo exclusive) and to have a game on a way more powerful console with only returning villagers sounds very unrealistic, just as unrealistic as there being no new clothing items or furniture.
I guess it IS true that we don't NEED a ton of new stuff, especially since overtime AC has had so much stuff that it's hard to even imagine what DOESN'T exist in this game anymore, but it's just kinda obvious that they will put something new in that regard anyway, even if at this point it's kinda overkill.
