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

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.

I'd be totally up for a community type building sort of like a community center. That way KK could setup there on saturdays, Katrina could bring her tent, Shrunk could do his (bad) comedy acts etc.

Has no one noticed villagers now place glasses and hats on surface slots instead of on the floor? Half my villagers have replaced their surface items with hats/glasses I've gifted them half an year ago (looking at you Marshal). Has there been any datamine about how the furniture placement is updated?
 
I'm super excited for lunar new year items and was hoping they'd incorporate the holiday.
 
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 started my second island in October, and I didn’t get any of the previous update gifts except the ring con which I got the first day in the mail. I didn’t even get the switch item. Most of the update items can be cataloged and reordered though, so you can get them from someone else.
 
Alrigggght I'm definitely digging the Festivale items...
And I agree with everyone saying that datamines are maybe more exciting than this actual update lol. I know this is controversial, but I definitely feel like we are LONG overdue for more buildings, and a nook upgrade! I'll take it however I can get it...
 
Thanks for coming through with the data and datamine investigation!

It does seem like we're dealing with a case of placebo then in regards to new conversations popping up. It's pretty interesting how this particular rumor seems to crop up a lot after patches. I've noticed it at least on one other occasion. My honest guess is that people just get back in to the game after taking a break when a patch drops and then end up talking more with their animals which increases the chances of just randomly bumping in to new dialog.​

No problem! It was interesting enough to try.

I did try to look into the code a bit further, I can see a lot of the decision tree that leads up to villagers picking their lines, and I really don't see anything that would indicate certain "unread" dialogue being given priority.

I think you're probably right about people guessing or having the false impression that they are seeing new things, that does sound very likely. :)
 
Did the update change move-out bubbles? I've had the bubble bouncing to different villagers for about a week, but today I can't find it. I've reloaded my game several times to make different villagers go outside, but no one has the bubble.

If anyone really wants to dive in and check if they're seeing new dialogue. There is a complete dump of dialogue here dating to what appears to be v1.5. You'll need to learn the codes for each personality. All I know is Smug is Zk. I'm sure the others can be learned just by reading the dialogue and knowing what personality is responsible for such. (Ha appears to be a jock, Ge appears to be Peppy)

Ah, I remember seeing this dump a while ago and I couldn't find it since! Thanks for linking it, I'll bookmark it this time. I might try this if I get bored later. ^^

Hmm maybe try resetting the move out process and TTing 14-15 days in the future again to find the bubble? I haven't heard anything about move outs changing, but now I'm curious! I could definitely see an update messing with the cycle you were on.
 
I just noticed that the seasonal tab in Nook Shopping lets you read details about the holidays each item represents if you press X. Is this new, or have I just never noticed it before?

I can't say when it was added, but I first noticed it during New Years

I don't time travel, so I'll have to wait for the bubble to come back on it's own.
 
The current special items are orderable through the catalog. Will this change when they expire?
