Do you think we start with one jock and one uchi villager?

i don't really mind because i have all my dreamies as amiibos so i'm not dependent on who randomly moves in :')

Is the amiibo stuff locked until you get to a certain point in the game?

Good question.

I hope not. I want to be able to have my amiibo villagers, at least.

Pretty much confirmed at this point. I hope I get Rudy as my jock :/

You'd probably need the campsite built first, at least. So yes, it's probably locked for a while.

Probably. I would imagine you have to advance to get at least the campsite done before you can move villagers in. You might still be able to scan in amiibo early to unlock the posters though.

I super agree! I started off hating Velma strictly based on her looks. If I never interacted with her, then she wouldn't have become one of my favorite villagers. It will be like that for all villagers. And I have a feeling the two we start with (for some of us) will become some of our most loved villagers because of the fact we are starting out on a deserted island so it will just be the three of us and the Nook family.

I was honestly the same with Velma! She moved into my town randomly and I didn't hate her but I didn't really like her too much either. She grew on me and now I really like her!

Coach, Mott, and Teddy are part of my dreamie squad, and then I have Renee as an uchi so I’m totally fine with them to start with! Actually, when I think about my “getaway package headcannon” (aka playing animal crossing in story-mode) Its fitting that Renee and one of my jock boys would rough it out in the beginning deserted island days anyways.

I DO wonder if this means certain personality types will now be more rare? I feel like snooty, smug and lazy would be the rarest to have on your island at the beginning. Its fitting for them to not want to deal with deserted island living anyways.

While I was saying early on that it made sense for some personality types to be better suited for Island adventuring than others, I really hope the limitations don’t extend past the first two villagers. Not having a smug or lazy villager until weeks into the game would disrupt my own Island headcanon ~.~
