Festivale Update 1.7.0 - Share what you discovered! [SPOILERS]

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.

Leopold - Nooks Cranny, C.J, Player 2
Pietro - Player 2, My outfit, Person who visited my island
Avery - Question about my interests, Furniture, NEW
Claudia - Person who visited my island, My outfit, Tool I was holding
Cousteau - Resident services, Old, Furniture
Chester - Tool I was holding, NEW, NEW
Goldie - NEW, Old, NEW
Agnes - Old, Furniture, Quest
Bam - Quest, Trying to buy items from me, My outfit
Wendy - Did not take part in this experiment as she was in the museum.

Would be interesting to see other people who talk to animals a lot also do this while keeping a log.​

I have been talking to mine quite a lot since I've been experimenting with getting quests from them for Smile Isle. I can definitely try this, because I've seen most of their dialogue by now.

I'm curious though, where did the rumours for new dialogue come from? And are we sure they aren't just new lines for them to say about the new items/event?
 
maybe I'm missing something, but will the Festivale furniture be available as DIYs? I know atm they're for sale at Nooks, but is it similar to Halloween in that the seasonal furniture is for sale all month and you could obtain the DIYs alongside that?

i bought one of the items at nooks and u will have to use feathers to customise so i'm assuming it's like the halloween furniture
where it was a diy but u could also buy it

I would definitely be interested in your results!

As far as I know the rumors just started cropping up on here about the dialog system being fixed to repeat less. I'm always dubious about claims with no data to back it up which is why I personally did my little experiment. It's also why I would love to see more people actually keep a log for statistics. Obviously if you never talk to your animals the data gained from this won't really matter.

All the new dialog I ran in to was unrelated to festivalè or the new items.​
 
The beans disappointed me. They don't go as far as they did in New Leaf and nothing happens if I do it near another character. (In New Leaf, it would make other animals/players use a shocked expression.)
 
I won't lie, the datamine part of the update is what gets me the most excited every time lol! Especially with this update, as it was too small and the furniture doesn't fit my aesthetic too much. I'm so glad to hear there are 5,000+ items in the code and the Sanrio villagers are getting more and more likely to reappear! I do hope their furniture sets also come back, it's the charm of the Sanrio cards after all! I know the March update won't likely be big however, it says in the datamine that there is hinting at a 1.9.0 version, not a 2.0 so let's keep that in mind!

i never had the beans in NL and i assumed they were equally boring tbh
now i kinda want them in NL lol
 
Does anyone have a source and list of all the datamines for the possible new features (not for this update)?

Most (or maybe all) datamine info can be found on the official discord under Unrestricted Play. There are some verified data miners including Ninji who share their work there.

It's the little things like this that they take out of the game which make NH soulless.

At least the megaphone thing is cool to use though. The animation for the maracas seems a bit janky

I admit this ended up being better than I thought, but I still miss Brewster and a St. Valentine's event with furniture (the same as PC) included.
I hope they stop taking events away like they did with this one and April's fools.
 
snazzy decorations on RS 💕🌟

Anyone know how to update gifts work? Are they limited-time rewards for having an island prior to an update, or do new players get their update gifts all at once in the mail after their first evening?

In other words, are things like the Maracas or the Joy-Con available to players who started their island after the update? Can you time travel to somehow get more?

I know the past gifts show up from time to time in the Nook Stop shop. The joy con is probably like that. The maracas might show up in the cabinet of Nook's Cranny from time to time like the tambourine does.
