Festivale Update!

[Bluebellie]

That trailer was uneventful. I don’t really like the items they showed (maybe the umbrella is ok if we can switch to a different color).

I guess goodbye to the old Pave Furniture.

 

[JKDOS]

I won't bother watching the trailer since it seems like no one here likes it, but I just want to know if the feathers have been brought back yet? I miss being able to wear feathers like in literally every other game besides AC:GCN.

The feathers from Boondox donations? No

These kind of feathers? Yes

Every tease we've gotten has been a holiday character, and we've now gotten every one of them.

* Leif is in there due to Nature Day

by the looks of it, leif is the only useful npc
being the only one that continues to appear and help out

the rest are basically there so nintendo can say they did something throughout the year

 

[Ossiran]

It's not surprising the update is small, so I don't know why people expected more. Festivale was the only major holiday left to add (though I'd love more smaller ones). We won't see anything major until the eventual 2.0 update, which we'll probably get in the late spring or early summer at this rate.

so without reading the comments because we know how that's gonna go, yeah, small update, but I can appreciate seeing a very tropical-island-friendly Pave set and also some dance moves. It may not be the Shrunk Funk Shuffle, but I'll take it over the butt wiggle/gulp thing we have currently, lol.

As you might imagine, I am a bit more hyped for the other aspects of the update not mentioned in the trailer. The maracas are cute, so is the American football reference, and what does it mean that we're getting a miniature figure of Resetti? Also, if I give the Valentine's Day chocolates/flowers to my villagers, will I get them to say something special? Honestly that's all I really need from a Valentine's Day event.

In any case, I am very much looking forward to getting to throw beans everywhere again. Haven't gotten to do that since, what, 2015? Easily my favorite handheld item. Very excited

yup, I meant like the Boondox ones, or perhaps the ones that float around and you catch with your net in New Leaf.


I had a little bit of excitement for this update and now that's totally gone.

 

[Paperboy012305]

I ain't gonna lie, all I was really expecting was the Festivale in the update and that was it. I'd also expect the next update to have just the Mario stuff as well, they're not gonna care about its first anniversary.

 

[Islander]

While I do enjoy Festivale, like most I was hoping for more. I hope the March update is better, but I can't say I'm too optimistic.

 

[Paperboy012305]

But let's be real, I hope that we get to wear the feathers. And the appearance of the rainbow feather, I didn't see that in the update.
If all of what I said is true, then my character's outfit from New Leaf will be complete.

You still catch feathers for Pave on Festival.

 

[Hoosker]

I'm wondering if the inevitable influx of players that came after getting the game for Christmas is contributing to the weak update?
As in, there are a ton of new players still discovering the base game, so they feel like they can get away with skimping on this update and bringing the better content later? One can dream... haha

 

[daringred_]

everyone in this thread really do be forgetting about blanca and april fool's huh.

@ nintendo, i'm watching you. give me back my wife come april or else.

 

[SlEEPYTEARRS]

as i said in another thread, this update is disappointing. not because im not excited for festivale, i am excited for it and pave, i do actually like the look of the items and i love emotes a ton

its the wait for a small update. its the fact there is nothing going on rn to keep people invested. its that my hope for future updates has been dashed. i was giddy when previous trailers came out and would rush to tell my gf the new stuff being added but now its just a single event. that wont take place until mid february

 

[Shellzilla_515]

If the next update after this one doesn't add anything significant to this game, let's just say that I and many others would be disappointed. They have no more holidays to fall back on since we're almost approaching a year on this game so they have to deliver on content. If not, then it's not gonna make me come back playing NH for a while. Which is unfortunate because this game has huge potential and I'm a fan of this series. And no, I'm not complaining about getting free updates. It's just that the execution for doing so has been pretty underwhelming.

My question: Did minor QoL details ever get announced in past trailers? I recalled that the "visiting random dream town" feature wasn't in any trailer, nor was the unorderable toggle in the online catalog - and those were what few Qol features the game has ever added. I could call the inclusive hair and sitting down QoL changes, but they were also large enough content for a trailer anyways.

I don't think "bulk crafting fish bait", or "buying multiple clothes in one fitting room" would ever sound like a big enough thing to show in a trailer, see the past ones. I'd wait for the actual update to go live before complaining about those things.

As for this update... I tend to avoid trailers for spoilers, but as long as the furnishings are customizable in screaming neon baby blue, I'll happily decorate with them. v_v

I was wondering this. I’m pretty sure almost all updates in the past have included features that weren’t shown in the trailer at all, that we discover once the update is released and playable. Guess we’ll just wait and see!

Not directed at you, but people keep tossing around the idea of paid DLC but I also bet you or anyone the moment they do they will complain they have to pay for it.

Nah I do get where you are coming from, people are hard to satisfy that's for sure, but I think Nintendo isn't really listening and I think it becomes apparent to whoever pays attention to their pattern. I would certainly not complain about paid DLC and I would happily buy it actually if that meant high-quality furniture/gameplay mechanics, however. What I wouldn't support is locking content that was free before behind a paywall. I don't think it's too farfetched for people to ask for in-game content and upgrades to Nooks/Museum, they have always been there from the start and we've been receiving drip-feeding for a year that's way too slow! Again this is my opinion, of course, everyone must feel differently and you are free to do so!

 

[minnew]

I know theres no microphone. Just being hopeful we get SOMETHING of value out of this update. Something that improves QoL...

Maybe it'll have functionality with nintendo online?

 

[daringred_]

can't be asked to scroll back and find who mentioned it first, but my thoughts on DLC: i have no issue paying for future DLC if the price is reasonable and the content is at least 70% new as opposed to recycled stuff that was essentially free in past games and arguably should've been in NH's base game. hiding brewster and gyroids, for example, staples of almost every game to date, behind a DLC paywall as high as £30 is just scummy if you ask me.

Oh same here! This is the first update where I'm not messaging my friends/family who play the game the link to the trailer and geeking out about it because it's so embarrassing and disappointing.
