So, I ended up buying one of the v-day dresses with the matching hat because they switched the high prices from the more traditionally feminine outfits to the more traditionally masculine ones. I assume this was their way of saving face after the coats sparked a discussion over the pink tax. While I find this gesture to be a little shallow, I did appreciate the lower prices on the items I was more interested in; however, while the outfit is cute, I still wouldn't say it was worth the LT. I think I would have preferred to put the money into another coat I was looking at, but I have a feeling this will be a continual trend moving forward to entice people to spend more on the game. I do feel I will bow out once the balance is tipped in the direction of LT dependent content, and while we are not there yet, we are getting close.
That said, I appreciate the change in mechanics especially for garden events. The garden event feels so much more fluid, less time consuming, and thus less stressful, so well done to Nintendo on that. Pete is also an amazing change. I think it's safe to say that Pocket Camp doesn't have the same depth as any of the previous installments of the game, so interacting with villagers became a real chore that I pretty much stopped doing unless I had to for event items. Now, instead of feigning depth by forcing us to interact with villagers just to get craft materials, I can just pop on, and in less than a minute, complete a cycle. I feel this also makes me appreciate the interactions with the villagers at my camp more. So really, Nintendo did a fantastic job on updating the mechanics of the game, and perhaps it will keep me active on the game since it's not as stressful, but I am still not happy about feeling like my hand is forced to pay just to play.
Fun fact, I actually spent much more on this game when I first started playing because I felt the balance was very fair, and I basically just purchased/used LT to help speed things up and get bonus items for the events. I'd very likely spend a bit each week if that balance returned, and I feel others would as well. In any case, I'm actually not dreading the upcoming events because of the new events. Thanks for the update Snow!

Spawn rates definitely are terrible, especially the purple beetles. I?m struggling to complete the hard tasks for them. >_>

Ok, those fishing tourney items are so good ahhhhhhhhhh
I don't like that Nintendo is so lazy as to recolor items and give them to us in of all things, a Fishing Tourney. They are really pretty thou.
The calico cat cap is so cute, watch it be leaf tickets. And the basement wall. I want it, but not for leaf tickets (at this point I assume the worse in the game).

It has been speculated to also be a Gifts-for-All for Cat Day in Japan; I guess we will find out soon!
Omg Cat Day that's so cute ;_;

Cousin Redd's Nightmare
I am jealous of this holiday japan has. Every country needs Cat day. I DEMAND CAT DAY.
I just hope any leaf ticket items that will be coming out with these events aren't crazy expensive... starting only a couple days ago and seeing most items that cost tickets are like over 100 most of the time is a real moral killer. Boy howdy I'd have sure loved to make that piano too, but you know. I haven't been able to get enough tickets again after first starting (I shouldn't have assumed leaf tickets would accumulate as fast as they did in the beginning for me, that'd be silly). They should have something were we can like have traded in these gyroidite collectibles or something for like a 15:1 for a ticket thing. Since y'know. I'm almost sitting on 600 now and can't do anything with them.
I played Fallout Shelter, another free to play game, and with that I didn't feel like I was missing out on any content because I could easily enough get the items required to get special characters, speed up activities to complete them faster, and stuff like that through hard work and fulfilling goals the game asked of me. But this? This is pretty crazy. The daily goals are pretty empty when I finish them all in like 10 minutes and then only got like 1000 bells, one kind of essence, and some of the least effecting generic treats.
