Haven't done the event yet, but with people saying the event (and the last few others) have been lackluster is making me think about how Bunny Day is the ironically the event with the most substance...

I also say that because I saw this meme on Twitter lol

Starting out as a new player, Bunny Day was a little annoying, but now with my stockpile of resources, completed critterpedia for fish and bugs, and completed fossil exhibit, I would have no problem with Bunny Day event now. I'm looking forward to it a little bit actually. And thanks to the Bunny Day balloons, I was able to get the Golden Slingshot just a few weeks after starting the game.

The point is I want to collect the different variants.

My complaint is that I want to collect them but at some point I HAVE NO OPTION to get regular furniture until I make a SECOND (third, fourth, whatever) float. I HAVE to make duplicate floats. The game will not allow me to get more variants. It will let me exchange ONLY a float, which costs me feathers I do not want to use on a FORCED FLOAT. Sorry if I sound annoyed but I don't know how to make it any clearer.

This is really interesting, I was able to get a ton more variants from Pave after the float, and didn't come across your problem at all. I've never gotten a second float, and don't want one! I was continually dropping my spare rainbow feathers back at home so they weren't usually in my inventory though, could that make a difference? Whenever I did happen to be carrying rainbow feathers and Pave said he wanted them, I just said no, and he offered me regular furniture instead. He did mention the float again a couple of times, but I was never forced into it.

Really? That is curious, I personnaly had to make it again (pretty annoying in my opinion) but I'll keep my rainbow feathers for me and looking for a change!

Apparently I've only ever said no to him when trying to exchange normal frathers, but since he just got mad multiple times and there was nothing to suggest othetwise, I assumed no means no exchange. I'll have to try that with the next float.

I gave it a three. I thought the confetti was cute and I loved seeing all my villagers dressed up and happily dancing. I’m also so thankful that the music wasn’t as obnoxious as in NL.

Im pretty bummed that the rewards for collecting the feathers were mainly just the items we’ve been buying from Nooks for the last couple of weeks. There hardly seems point in giving Pave the feathers unless you’ve not been playing much and missed out on getting the items from Nooks and particularly wanted the obnoxious float.

 

[Bilaz]

But if all the items were only on the day of festivale then people would be sad they couldn’t decorate beforehand :/ and new leaf did this ‘buying the event rewards at nooks’ for every event, and this allowed everyone to get more furniture in all the different colours!! Or feathers to customise with later!! I thought it was a perfect balance of collecting before and during :O

It was all month February in this game they gave us enough time to buy all the Festivale Items at our shops. Only to find out you can just get different colors from other people's shops on their island. So Even if you got all the colors I don't see any point in doing the event other than just getting the Rainbow Feather DIY and the Festivale Float. Also by the time the event is over there is no way to get feathers since they disappear and all the Festivale items that were at your shop are gone. So you have to time travel back to the event just to get them.

 

[SlEEPYTEARRS]

i think its a 5

it is really cute!!! especially the villagers in their little costumes, dancing around, throwing confetti. pave i think is pretty cool too, and i really like this set of stuff! the feathers are super pretty and i love that you can wear them, and i love that this event lets you get all sets pretty easily without trading

but i agree that the event is tedious. it took me an hour to gather all 12 rainbow feathers that are needed to "complete" the event. i was able to find copious amounts of every feather but purple, and i found myself with tons of other feathers but no purples. also having to watch pave dance every time you give him feathers is cute at first, but when youre on the fifth time of it happening i just mash the button to try and skip it

all in all i actually really liked it, i think its one of the better events in the game so far!

I agree, I thought it was fun and I also liked it when I was given the chance to make another float. Trading with the villagers for feather colours you want made it pretty fast feeling and I enjoyed the fun energy and am still collecting feathers etc, because I'm just having fun.

 

[Seastar]

My only real complaint is that feathers stop stacking at 3. Why? That makes it much harder to stockpile them.
Then again I don't think they were stackable at all in New Leaf.

@Cloudandshade
How did you reject the float when Pavé mentioned it again? I don't even get the option to say no. I already made three floats and I'm not carrying rainbow feathers.

Wow, I have actually never seen that dialogue! When I got my float, I was already carrying three rainbow feathers, so he didn't have to ask me for them like in your video. I'm pretty sure the only time he mentioned it again was after I'd gotten a normal colour variant, and at the end he was like 'bring me more feathers, or you can bring me three rainbow feathers for the ultimate festival prize' or whatever. Roughly how many colour variants did you collect before this started happening? I think I got all the rainbow ones, then the float, then all the green ones, then I pretty much stopped. If you've already gotten more than that, then perhaps I just never made it to the point where this would start happening? This is a really strange game mechanic! I'm sorry I'm not being of any help

I gave it a 5, its a pretty average event and isn't my favourite of the ones we've had so far but it was a bit of fun. In terms of event items it would've been nice to get more then 1 new item on the day but we did have many other Festivale items in Nooks leading up to the event so its not really like we were short off Festivale themed things. My favourite colour of the items (blue) was the one that was sold on my island and I was only really interested in getting some of the items in the rainbow variation which made the event relatively short for me as I didn't need to collect loads of feathers to get every item in every colour. I did notice on my island though that I had loads of purple and green feathers and not very many blue and red feathers so that was sometimes a bit of a hassle when trying to craft the rainbow feathers and while the float is very nice I really don't need more then one, luckily I already have enough items that I can just customise myself and skip Paves attempts to give me an extra float.

The villagers are probably the best part of the event to me, its really nice to see them all dressed up for the event and showing off all their dance moves. Also getting constantly followed by villagers trying to throw the confetti at me or watching or seeing many of them seemingly trying to seduce each other with the Let's Go dance was pretty amusing. Pave's a cool character and its nice to see him for the event but I wish giving him feathers wasn't so long winded, I honestly don't know where he gets all his energy from, his dialogue can get pretty tedious (a problem quite a few NPCs seem to have) and it can get quite time consuming when you have many feathers to exchange.

I actually agree with you and think I would drop my rating of Festivale from 7 to a 5 as well. I was trying to get the lamp which Pavé only gave me 1 of (compared to me having like 7 stages now) but now I'm stuck on the dialogue to get the float. I wanted to keep getting the furniture over and over but he's forcing me to give him rainbow feathers. They should have made it optional the second time around if you already got the float.

I’m not ready to read the whole thread yet because I’m still playing the festivale but! Can somebody tell me, do we get Paves beautiful rainbow arch?

 

[Moritz]

I think its great!
Had a lot of fun. Will try to get a few more of the balloons.

The float is super cool but going straight into storage.

Its just the vibe that's so good about this. Its so relaxing and happy.

I voted 8.

 

[Manah]

Roughly how many colour variants did you collect before this started happening?

The first time happener after roughly half of my first set and two or three colorful items. I'm almost done with the last set now, so that's roughly four floats in four sets for me (I already got the fifth set from the store before the event, so no green trades)

 

[Etown20]

After playing it I would rate it a 7. Seeing all of the villagers dressed up and dancing provided a lot of joy. I do wish there was any easier way to get the villagers to pose for pictures (they are constantly moving!) but the new reactions/animations were really great and it was nice to see them being fully utilized by the villagers.

The gameplay part of it was tedious, particularly all the dialogue prompts after you give Pave the feathers. I also thought there would be a few more feathers flying around everywhere.

Regarding how the furniture is acquired, I think the it should have just all been available through a DIY card at the beginning of the month (the same way the reactions were). Then you would have all the furniture to decorate, but you would also have the incentive to play the event for customization. Like others have said, there are some items I want several of (like the lamp), and if I want 8-10 lamps to use all over the island, it is a lot of work to acquire that many.

 

[Fridaynightcatlady]

I rate it a 5 but honestly because I don’t really care much about Festivale. It’s my least favorite event in the game and I’m not a fan of the furniture, tbh. I did some of the event but I was mostly interested in getting feathers and crafting a rainbow feather for myself (to wear later on).

No.
