More villagers to be added?

[cosmylk]

But as for the only 40 villagers available, it's most likely Nintendo restricting them for this "beta" so people don't unlock every item straight away.
I'm definitely anticipating more content when ver 1.0.0 comes out. I want to craft clothing and shoes already.

I am already at level 20 and been leveling as crazy as i wanted my favorite villager Merengue! :/ sad to see those pictures! as i was hoping she would be unlocked when leveling! guess i can slow down my speed lol

I am sure they are saving some of them to released around the winter holidays (deer, penguins, and certain dog breeds come to mine) to give people a nice incentive to play or spend tickets on items. I have a feeling they might save the NPC owls for school related holidays. I also got a feeling they might rotate the starting villagers the way MMOs do starting characters so that our camps have more variety.

Based on how it's been so far, I reckon new NPCs will be treated like KK and the Nook man, spend 250 tickets on a piece of their furniture to have them hang out.

Otherwise, I expect villagers will simply unlock as the months pass. They have hundreds to get through!

Made a screenshot of the Villager pictures in the catalog, sooo assuming these are the ones available so far..

aw man I really don't like most of these haha. I'm level 14 currently and I only like Lily, Beau, and Rosie in my camp. Hoping to see my dreamies in the game eventually.

well I mean technically nintendo did make it so that you can only get some villagers from amiibo (i.e. the sanrio villagers/wolf link/etc.) lol
I was really surprised that from pics I've seen they've added some WA villagers to the game though (like ketchup), so I'm guessing maybe they'll release more villagers as time goes on

I really hope they add more villagers soon...I'm kinda unimpressed with the 40 base game villagers - like, really? These are the 40 you pick for base game? I hope they don't put some of the tier 1 villagers behind pay walls ('pay 100 leaf tickets to have Merengue in your camp!'), but the Sanrio characters and the NPCs make sense.

I kinda doubt that they'll add EVERY villager, simply because of the game's capabilities, but I'm pretty confident that they'll add more within a few months.

I actually like a lot of these villagers; Filbert is my favourite villager, and I also like Peanut, Chrissy, Goldie, Kid Cat, Agnes, Moe, Cheri, Apple, Tad, Jay, Eloise, Punchy, Rosie, Beau, and Roald, and some of the others aren't bad, either (but of course there are some I really don't like as well). I do hope they add in a lot more, though, as I still have a lot of villagers I love that aren't in there. I'm especially pretty sad that they put in Chrissy but not Francine, though, since I like Francine so much more.

Looks like out of the gate I will have Sly, Hamlet, Apple, Peewee and Bubbles to look forward to. That will keep me happy for a bit.
