I'm also noticing different dialogue. Aside from there being some stuff I don't remember getting before, I also noticed I didn't have to cycle through the 3-4 bits of repetitive dialogue they always start out with before getting to the more interesting stuff.

I'm so happy to hear multiple people are noticing new dialogue. I'm going to have to test it out too.
I guess it's possible it's not really new, but they just did something to change how the animals access their dialogue, and it's making some of the more obscure lines more accessible.
But it's also been a long time since I've really talked to the animals more than once or twice so maybe I've just forgotten a lot, lol.

I think half of the problem with this community is people are too quick to judge something.... Half the people that were like, ew a bad update are now super excited. Next time don't just judge a book by it's cover 
(Just wanted to get that out..)
I have yet to actually play the game with the new updates. But i'm really looking forward too it! Will come back and post what I discover later.

This update added Pave's model to the files, so now he can be scanned into Photopia on Harv's Island if you have his amiibo card (just like you can with Isabelle, KK Slider, etc...)

Back from Hiatus (3/18/22)
dug around for 15 minutes to find my Pave amiibo card, it does the same thing as the other special villagers. it said "It seems you can't talk to Pave right now" and that was it.

Whoa, the rainbow version of the Festivale items looks pretty nice. Kinda disappointing that there isn't a rainbow version for the outfits. Also good to know that the two Valentine's Day items comes in different colors.
Now I wonder if Katrina and Shrunk would just become new weekly visitors or if Shrunk at least comes back along with Club LOL (not sure how big the chances are for Katrina getting her own building). If the latter would be the case, K.K. at least would stop blocking the RS at Saturdays and we would get finally a new building. Otherwise, since the Sanrio cards are about to come back, I guess the chances looking good that this is true imo.
More datamined info suggests that there could be a Mario-related sidescrolling minigame, and a "Simon Says" style dancing minigame. Take note that these are just based on the game's current files. It can change. It may end up being used, altered, or not used at all.
Also, gifting your villagers the bouquet and or chocolate on Valentine's Day gives them +2 friendship points. Also, it is not stored, so there are no worries of furniture replacement.

I could see them keeping K.K. in the plaza, honestly. Either because he still travels to other places, and just comes to visit your island on Saturdays, or he does DJ for Shrunk again, but then still holds his acoustic concert in the plaza. I might just be saying that because it reminds me of the movie, though, and the Animal Crossing game I have wanted for years is as close to the movie as possible.
ETA: Since people were talking about the maracas, too lazy to go back and see if that got resolved, but they're in my daily Nook Shopping selection today, same as how the RingCon and both Switch models sometimes show up.

I get what you're saying, but at the same time it's a bit silly to expect people to not to feel like that after an update trailer that does a terrible job of showcasing the things that are in storeI think half of the problem with this community is people are too quick to judge something....

With respect to festivale, the trailer showed Pavé (already known), a few new reactions from villagers, being able to catch feathers, and one colour variation of some of the new furniture. The rest of it was just empty content; Pavé dancing took up like half of the trailer, lol
That being said, this update doesn't look as bad as I initially thought it would be with all the stuff shown in this thread, and the stuff being said about villager dialogue is big if true!
Just updated and logged on quickly. Got the maracas in the mail as a gift for updating. Pascal gave me a Pearl 
Apart from the orderable stuff which I sadly have a flame megaphone (does purple exist? slightly obsessed 
) is there anything else on day one? Don’t TT but tempted if I have to wait ages to decorate

I don't mind if K.K. would still play around the plaza, it would be just nice if he and the chairs could move a little bit so that there's more space between him and the RS entrance. It's kinda annoying when you running always into him, since he takes lots of space for his concert. Maybe the chairs could be placed different for example. Otherwise, he could switch his roles every Saturday, like one Saturday he plays his acoustic concert at the plaza, the other one he's DJ K.K. at the club. Or DJ K.K. becomes a thing for Friday nights, like that he shows up on two days now in two different roles.
Speaking of Club LOL: Now that we get more dance related reactions thanks to the Festivale update, the club would make a bit more sense to use said reactions there, like inviting your friends and have a party at the club.
About to spam my villagers with chocolate hearts and bouquets to show them how much I like them.
So I tried taking with my villagers and I didn't see a single line of new dialog. And believe me, I talked with them multiple times to see if something new would appear.
The maracas and the beans were fun for like 2 seconds, and they're now on storage and will probably stay there forever.
Tried using the megaphone near some fish or bugs but they don't react to it, which is kinda lame.
The Resetti model has a light on his helmet than can be switched on or off. Couldn't get the reactions yet (they're not on the nook miles section). The football rug is cool, but won't fit most people's houses, I believe. It does work well with my bedroom, though, so at least I got something to use.
Still waiting to see those fabled new lines of dialog, the Valentines items and the other stuff... Not really impressed with the update, as I suspected it would be the case. The saving grace might be the new dialog, but as I've said, I still need to see them...

There should be a different one listed each day. At 2:00 am, when the update went live for me, I had the starry one, and when the day rolled over at 5:00 am I got the blue sparkly one.

Have to say I'm intrigued by these datamines even more than the update so far.
Trying not to get my hopes up too much since I've gotten burned on datamines before but it at least seems like they're trying to develop new stuff. I'm especially curious about the alleged 5000 new furniture items. Are any of these items named in the files or are they just generic numbers and placeholders? Are we thinking these items are for future events or is there going to be some sort of massive new item dump all at once.
As for the update... I'm going to be checking my villager dialog after I patch. I talk to my animals pretty regularly despite the repetitive dialog so I should be able to gauge out if it got updated pretty quickly.

Does anyone have a source and list of all the datamines for the possible new features (not for this update)?

Posting my experiences with villager dialog post-patch since I said I would.
I found 5 pieces of dialog I had not ran in to when talking to each of my animals 3 times. That means 5/23 were new to me. Most of the new dialog was conversations where the animal would ask me something and I was given three dialog choices I could answer back with. I think I'll run this experiment a second time tomorrow. If anyone is curious I kept a log of what topics everyone mentioned and if they were talking about stuff relating to surroundings, my clothes etc.
Would be interesting to see other people who talk to animals a lot also do this while keeping a log.
