Even taller villagers?

[UglyMonsterFace]

I remember reading somewhere that when New Leaf was first shown, everyone thought the villager was way too tall and lanky. But then eventually everyone came to really love it. What do you guys think of having an even taller villager (maybe even Pokemon Sword/Shield tall)? Do you think they'd do it? Would you like it? I dunno if I will but having height/weight customization might be nice instead of having a one size default.

I like the idea of height/weight customization, but I think generally the height of the Villager was pretty close to perfect in New Leaf. They weren't squished as in previous titles.

I think the height they are at right now is fine. The height and weight customization would be interesting to see, but I'm not sure they would implement that into the game.

 

[Chouchou]

Yeah the hight seems fine to me. I'd like the player to be a bit taller but if they don't change anything it's fine.

 

[Pellie]

I think the current hight is pretty ok, then again, such a height/weight customization would be really nice actually.

I WANT GIANT VILLAGERS

I definitely do like the height in New Leaf, but I was playing with the idea that they might make the villager even taller. And I didn't know how to feel about it. Would the tall, non chibi villager still have the animal crossing feel to it? :/ But on the other hand, more details can be put into outfits if the villagers were taller.. Hmm.. I don't know if they'd even change the appearance of the villager, but if they did, would we all hate it at first because it's so different? I'm definitely curious about this! I never played the old games so I never experienced the feeling of them changing the villager model so drastically. I hope it looks good if they do decide to change it!

I personally like the heights & sizes the way they are. Wouldn't care if they mixed it up though.

I actually don't like how tall they made the villagers on New Leaf. To me, lots of villagers who I think are absolutely amazing in my GameCube town (like Purrl) became pretty average and don't look as good in New Leaf.



I adore Fang, and he's currently in my main NL town, but this will always be my favorite version of him there was just something about the wolves, horses, cats, etc. being short that made them so much more charming to me.

after playing new leaf going back to the meatball bodies of city folk players was difficult, but i don't think the player characters need to be taller. i like the style of the characters in new leaf.

as for animal villagers i think the bears are almost too tall and they're one of my least favourite villager models, i prefer the shorter ones like squirrels or more normal sized ones like cats.

I like how New Leaf is, but for the new game, they should at least put in new clothing. items, villagers, hair styles, eyes, etc.

People don’t notice it but one new pair of hair and eye shapes were added in nl, even the pants, dresses and tank tops were new (the socks and shoes were separated as well)

But if Animal Crossing Switch does comes out, what would be possibly new is different hair styles, long dresses, body suits, and amenities (and I’m borrowing some of this from amiibo festival and pocket camp)

I actually LOVE the height of the bears! Tutu and Curt are some of my fave villagers ever and it's because they're so big and cuddly looking. For animal villagers, I would love if there were more size variety though. I want kitten villagers as tiny as Katie! That would be amazing.

I like the villagers current height, so I think that is fine.
A custom would be neat to see different ranges for your character, though.
