I'm looking at the game files, AMA.

[GreenLeaf]

No worries, I'm just sharing what I'm seeing. AlomaPot was one of the first filenames I saw, and brought it up because it adds to the theory that things aren't being found because they're under different names (like Lloid being under Haniwa-kun, haniwa being the Japanese word for gyroid).

er...know this.
it was just the way western sounds were represented that puzzled me ^^''
anyway thanks for the reply and forgive my broken English ^^

 

[MorningStar]

I can confirm that errors like Aloma instead of Aroma do often occur with rough file names and translations. In fact, if I recall correctly, the player "Sara" in the February Direct was under the User Profile of "Sala," so there's that.

 

[Xara]

no mention of luna,, that sucks :c i am really happy about all the other characters, though! i would’ve been really bummed if rover, brewster, leif and pascal weren’t in the game owo

 

[Jhine7]

Hopefully all this is true, it will be exciting!

 

[Bluebellie]

You mentioned haniwa...so there’s gyroids?


No Luna or dream suit though?

 

[JKDOS]

Do silver tools break?

 

[geo-mew]

Interesting tidbit: there's only one upgrade for Nook's Cranny and this, combined with the intentional late release of the official guide, heavily implies that Nintendo will be rolling out content updates over the next few months.

No Luna or dream suit though?

Only found one model under Haniwa and it was for Lloid. Don't recall seeing Luna but Wendell was there, so it's still possible for something like Dream Suite to be in there. Edit: Luna is there, just checked.

 

[geo-mew]

are there bushes?

Only found a couple of models for azalea bushes, but they were for use in the insect exhibit. Mind you this is for searching under 'bush' though, a lot of items aren't named in the conventional way in the game files so they could be in there.

I too would like to know about collections for journal prepping

Since you're new to the game, not sure if you know this but not all furniture items are grouped into sets, sets (or series) are part of the available items. So there's the Rococo set, for example, but then there are items like aroma pot which aren't part of a set.

[bellpickle]

Thanks for this, please put copy / pastes from the list in spoilers so we can choose not to look at it.

I would just like to know if there's any mention of Kapp'n yet? For him not to be in NH is seriously missing an opportunity!

 

[geo-mew]

I too would like to know about collections for journal prepping

Furniture sets (did not include sets with less than three items, because those were random themed groups instead of actual series). Mention of Nintendo items and Door Ornament possibilities.

Spoiler

This is what I found, some of them I don't know the English series names for.
Ameretro
Antique
Bamboo
Block (I think this is the Kiddie set? not sure)
Boy
Cardboard
Cute
Fish
Flower
Fossil (technically not a furniture series, they're all mini models)
Fruits
Garden
Ice
Insect
Iron
Log
Mom (items sent to you by mom)
Mushroom
Oriental
Poolside
Rattan (idk English name)
Shell
Wooden
Zodiac

I also saw some new items like the nail art set and Cartoonist set (not a furniture series but a standalone item, like probably papers and art supplies) and things returning like the cat tree. Also interestingly enough there are two varieties of gravestones, LOL. One Japanese and one European, and they all have multiple recolors so it suggests it's a craftable/decorative item and not lore linked like people have been hypothesizing.

There are also 114 different door ornament designs. (this includes recolors of the same design, but it seems like most if not all only have 1 recolor. Many do not have recolors).

I also found a Cuckoo clock, so this confirms the return of Nintendo items.

 

[sierra]

Could it be that their names are in the pastebin just because we can get their picture/poster?

 

[geo-mew]

KK Songs in New Horizons (94 in total): These appear to be the Japanese names, some of which are different than the English ones. Also potential collaboration with other huge IP (see spoiler)

Edit: this isn't all the KK songs, these are the ones you can have as a record (i.e. furniture item)

I think Japan may be seeing a Vocaloid collaboration, see the songs marked with asterisks. Utatane is a Vocaloid character, and the first result for Boku no Basho is a Vocaloid song.

There are also a lot of new songs added like Irish, Peru, Turkey etc.

I highly doubt it. I'm seeing in the model list all of the Amiibo posters, and they include the special NPCs like KK. Since they're in the Special NPC list which is separate from the model list, it means that there's more to them.

Good point, thanks. I'll go ahead and do that. Yes, Kapp'n is in the special NPC list.

Method of getting special nintendo items?
What happens when you scan amiibo not form the animal crossing series?

Seems like a lot of Amiibo are supported, IIRC the Zelda ones were in there. But can't say more than you'll def get a poster of them.

 

[nightglow]

Can confirm new bugs and fossils, fish I haven't checked. New bugs like the paper butterfly, and new fossils likee Quetzalcoatlus and Smilodon. Won't go through all of them since a lot of the fish and insect names are in Romanji. Also I did find the file for a diving suit, so I guess diving's back in the game.

Oh cool, so does this mean there could be more things to collect beyond the bug fish and fossils? Or would anything we collect be in the fish category?

 

[DiamondAbsoul]

Are you able to find out the new villager’s personalities? We know about Reneigh and Dom, and Raymond’s is easy to guess, but what about Judy, Megan, Cyd, and Sherb?

 

[Ama]

I just wanted to say thank you for doing this because I feel like most of the conversation started oddly aggressive about it being fake or asking for proof and now is only asking questions. I have loads of questions but I just wanted to say thank you first for going through all of it!

 

[satine]

This is a dumb question that has already been answered by a few different sources but I hate it for being true so I want to ask you about it too. 10 villager limit, right?

Also, thanks for doing this! I think it's really cool for those of us who still have some pressing questions.

 

[geo-mew]

I won't say yes or no, simply because it would take a ton of digging/parsing to get through all of the data (literally thousands of entries), but from what I've seen we have all the same categories as before (furniture series, bugs, fish, fossils, etc) and new items for each, on top of that there are also a variety of door ornaments and outdoor projects to collect (ex. the Mecha statue).

I'm not aware of a way atm, but I know that the new pink wolf Audie is peppy. If I managed to get all of the data aside from NPCs and models I'll update.

I appreciate that, thank you! I know people want to avoid spoilers or potentially getting in trouble, that's why I offered to do this. I think people are (understandably) frustrated with the wait and the whole virus situation. I didn't mean to cause a scene with my statements ��

Yeah, it's ten. It makes sense since the island is only 6 acres bigger than a New Leaf town, and with 8 potential human residents that'd be 18 houses total. Player count does not affect animal villager max cap. And no problem, I'm glad I can help.

 

[CeriSyrin]

You mentioned you found files for diving, is there anything in there about Art that we can collect? It's my favorite part of collecting for the museum so I'm crossing my fingers. Thanks for posting about all of this!

 

[EpicGamer12]

I think it's a bit misleading to say that those NPCs are confirmed. They are in the Special NPCs list but there are no models for them in the game according to data miners. I am hoping nobody is expecting to actually see these in the game for sure yet.

 

[Mink777]

Glad to see Drive is in the game. One of the better live performed songs in New Leaf and it sucked that it had no aircheck. Looking forward to hearing it again soon.
