Has Animal Crossing ever made you really emotional?

[Croconaw]

The music makes me emotional. I love how sweet the villagers are, also!

I always feel a sense of accomplishment when I can get an area of gardening done, thats about as much sentiment I feel though.

Am I heartless, probably.

When I was maybe 10 or so, I was playing city folk, and one of my favorite villagers was moving away. I got a bunch of white flowers and planted them around the villager's house, and stayed there when it was turning 6 am, and witnessed the disappearance of the house. The moment actually seemed a bit magical...

I cried for days when my first town got deleted, mainly because I had lost Punchy, my favorite villager And then a few months or so later, I was visiting a dream town just to see Punchy again- I was standing there in his house while K.K. Love Song was playing, and I realized just how much I missed him, and I started crying all over again ;~; It was a great day when I finally got him back... Punchy is really special to me :,)

Sometimes I tear up when I take the time to listen to Kapp?n?s songs. They?re really sad sometimes, especially those on the trip back to the town!

Some of the sad things villagers say even make me emotional! Even sitting by the tree on New Leaf and hearing the credits is sad.

I cried when Vic moved away. He was my first cranky and I felt really attached to him. I also teared up when I first saw the Animal Crossing track in Mario Kart because it's so beautiful and seeing all your animal friends cheer for you while you race - agh I'm still a little emotional about it.

i remember when i was younger and coco moved away from my acww town, i wasnt very emotional at first but then at night when i was trying to go to bed i started thinking more abt it and i cried over her moving.....i think i had a dream abt coco that night
on a more positive note, i also remember marshal being the first villager to send me a letter in my first acnl town! i was rlly excited and happy but i dont remember what the letter was abt.......

I have had quite a few moments that have made me testy eyed or upset since I started playing animal crossing in 2005! One of the first moment that made me upset was revisiting my old wild world town! This experience was weird because me and my brother used to play but sadly he passed away and going back just brought back a lot of the memories from us two playing together, I really miss them moments.

The second reason why I got sad at animal crossing was when beau moved out of my town and oh my godddd it broke my heart! I spent ages trying to get him into my town and I missed playing a week and forgot to change the date back I loaded up my World and he Was gone I got a lump in my throat and felt like I was going to cry

The last was was upset and angry I worked so hard on getting all of my Jacob ladders and carnations bred and I traded with someone when I went walking through my town after the trade most of my carnations and all of my Jacobs ladders were gone! I was absolutely devastated!!

sitting on the town tree watching the credits roll makes me emotional

That time my game card crashed down. From one day to another my town where gone away.

This. The only other time I can think of is when K.K. appeared saying my data was corrupted in the GameCube version, and I cried (I was about 10 lol), and immediately threw my memory card in the bin. My dad insisted I tried it a second time, and lo and behold it worked perfectly.

The music can really hit me with melancholy nostalgia if I'm playing it late at night, especially because I started my town during an amazing summer at an amazing time when I was younger. It reminds me of being carefree and staying up late to play it with people.

Remembering my old AC friends who I’ll never be able to contact again because the servers shut down makes me sad tbh

 

[littleagnes]

over the past 3 years I've been at university at the other end of the country. My first year and a half in particular I felt very lonely and was struggling so much. I felt like animal crossing was my safety net and the love from villagers and the peaceful music made me feel so emotional lol

 

[streetspirit]

Having villagers move away honestly makes me cry quite a bit. I also get teary and nostalgic sitting at my plaza tree sometimes. Maybe i'm just sensitive, I don't know.

 

[koopasta]

Yeah, sitting at the tree makes me really emotional. Also, AC is where I've had really deep conversations with people that I would never have with anyone in person. Even villagers moving out can make me tear up if I really liked them.

Looking at my childhood towns in GC and CF. My family played with me and it's a little unsettling to see their very real habits through virtual houses (Grandma's houses are hoarding nightmares but that may honestly be GC's fault...). My cousin's houses make me the sad in an innocence lost sort of way, he was two years younger than me but my best friend until we got older and interests just diverged. On a meta level, we had played the most after we moved far away from my parents' friends. So I read negatively into the amount of work that went into mom's home and felt irrationally guilty that she had played this with me instead of having a more exciting life...

So I suppose I'm sad about losing someone too.

I think when Ruby moved away from my wild world town when I was little, I got really emotional about it. I can't remember if I cried or not. I just remember instantly wanting her back in my town and erasing it so I could get her back, I even made a tribute video to her. which was so sad of me haha whoops, i was going on like i'd had my heart broken
