Does anybody else LIKE the fact that the villagers are nicer in New Leaf?

[Zanessa]

I have more bad days than usual, and Murphy pissed the crap out of me in GCN because he was so rude, so I am happy with the change.

 

[Cardboardo]

This inspired me to turn my GC game on again.

I need to buy this game again. Ugh. I know Nintendo's main consumers are the younger crowd, but I really wish that they would have just left AC alone.

This inspired me to turn my GC game on again.

I think I'm going to turn on my game cube game just to see what they say or who I even have for villagers! It has to be like five years since I've played.

I thought that was in my head, but I noticed it to. Like, when you talk to them too much, they don't get mad at you they just want time alone to think instead. I think that's unrealistic, I miss them telling me I was an annoying brat.

I guess I liked them grumpier? Even the "grumpy" and "snooty" villagers aren't even that bad anymore. Eh. (?･Д･｀ )

 

[Kaiaa]

I personally like my villagers when they have strikingly different personalities but now their personalities all kinda blend together. Don't get me wrong, I like the villagers personalities in New Leaf but I just kinda miss when the cranky were a little cranky and the snooty were really snooty.

 

[Sheepish]

I don't remember any of the dialogue from WW, so I don't have a frame of reference, but I do agree that the niceness seem to mush the personalities together a little bit in NL. I got my first snooty villager in a long time just a few weeks ago, and I honestly would not have been able to tell that she was snooty had I not checked online.

I used to be bestfriends with Hopper. I talked to once, he remembered me. Talked to him twice...


Bob really missed me too :c


Poncho & Rolf were pretty "cheesed off" for avoiding them, but after that they acted as if nothing has changed over the past 237 weeks.

 

[Azzie]

I actually like this a lot! I'm always terrified of bothering my villagers, and the fact that they seem to like being talked to lots really helps a lot.

 

[keybug55]

They have to be nice to you, you're the mayor after all. Smugs are my favorite because they're just so sweet. If only I had more room in my town, I would totally get another smug.

 

[Spontida]

Really?;o

I went to someone's town and I spoke to Tiffany (I think that was her name) and she called me ugly... It was the first time I'd spoken to her LOL

Really? Tiffany is so nice to me.

Are you sure "ugly" wasn't her catchphrase?

 

[Isabella]

I don't mind that they're nicer now but it was kinda funny when they were mean D: and then you could just win their friendship but I think they're all a bit TOO nice. the dialogue needs to be spiced up for every personality, seriously

 

[in-a-pickle]

I think it's not particularly bothersome that they're nicer, but they were certainly more diverse before. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if they had more dialogue or something.

 

[Shadowmayor]

I love NL and talking to all my villagers but it was a bit disappointing with them all so nice.

 

[aetherene]

I don't really mind it.

The Snooties are more backhand when it comes to their insults rather than flat out rude. The Crankies have definitely been toned down a lot.

Idk. They weren't too bad to befriend; Gaston was the hardest I had to get my friendship up imo since he hardly would give me requests for days. Pecan was super easy.

 

[Baboom]

I find Uchi villagers can be very rude and arrogant so there is still an unfriendly type. Cranky is more like a fatherly type now, they should've really renamed it to Gentleman or Senior or something instead of trying to pass it off as Cranky, I think they only did that to avoid a fan backlash.

 

[CrankyCupcake]

I've only played Wild World, so when I compare the Cranky personality from WW to the one in New Leaf, I do find it very odd that it is now very watered down. I just wouldn't call Rolf cranky anymore. He's too nice. I think Phoebe (uchi) or Alli (snooty) are more fiery than Rolf is.

For me, Animal Crossing is a safe, happy place. A place where I feel important, loved, and generally not as worthless as I feel all the time in real life.
This is why I like my villagers nice. I don't get much real kindness elsewhere, so having even a video game show me kindness cheers me up.

 

[Hina]

I don’t really like it. One of the few things I remember from playing WW was how mean the snooty villagers were and I couldn’t recognize snooty villagers in NL at first because of the way they act there. As for the crankies I think they’re fine. As someone mentioned on the first page I think, they act more tsundere-ish and if there’s one think I love it’s tsunderes.
I do love the uchis and normals tho!

Aw, I really hope things improve for you soon. I've also found the game a great comfort during some hard times this year. It's a powerful game indeed.
