Raymond or Marshal, help me choose (sorry!)

[Aubrey895]

Personally I like marshal so much better. Don't hate me....but I am not a huge fan of cats....lol The marshmallow squirrel is so cute.

It's always easier to find Marshal because of his Amiibo, but it sounds like your heart is really set on him and you have a friend who really wants Raymond.

If it were me I would keep them both for now until I could feel like my mind was made up more.

Whenever I have a hard time making a decision about something like this, I flip a coin. If I feel happy with the result, then I'm happy. If I find myself wishing the coin had landed the other way, then I know what my preference is, and I go with that.

This is hard, they are both precious beans that must be protected!

Sorry if it's been stated already, but they are different personalities and have different hobbies. I have both and don't regret it. Keep both until you can decide of your own Accord you don't want to, because nothing stops you from saying goodbye later if you change your mind.

Threads over a year old.
Not sure why it was brought back.
Hopefully they made their choice by now XD

i think its kind of up to personal preference. i love these two as well, but always seem to go with raymond in the end.

smug villagers are pretty unique in my experience. for example, i have 3 crankys on my island right now. i get so tired of their dialogue, even if im only talking to one for multiple days. it just seems like theres less cranky dialogue then other personality types, so anything but cranky multiples shouldnt be a problem. im sure if you had two smugs it wouldnt take away from their individuality at all.

if you're really into decorating ur island like i am, ill always consider a villager based on their exterior housing. i recently fell in love with croque just because of his house design. so for raymond and marshal, if one seems more aesthetically pleasing than the other to you, id take that into consideration as well

oh god i didnt even realize this threads age, how weird. anyway

Having them both, no. Marshal's subtype personality is music while Raymond is nature.

Marshal (in my game anyways) is reserved and introverted but likes to sing. Raymond on the other hand is a ray of sunshine and more happy-go-lucky. He loves the outdoors and will brighten everyone's day. (really, I have Mar and Jacques, compared to them, Ray's dialog/tone is more chipper than them)

I think their voice pitch slightly differs too.

Marshal and Raymond’s voices are very similar, though Marshal’s voice is just a tiny bit higher pitched than Raymond’s because squirrels have higher pitched voices than cats. I have two lazy villagers on my island: Bob and Filbert and Filbert’s voice is slightly higher pitched than Bob’s voice.

I have both Marshal & Raymond, I wouldn’t let one of them go, both sometimes repeat phrases but have their own personalities, Raymond is a little bit more smug than Marshal, I had Marshal’s card and found Raymond on an island after 28 nook tickets , he’s the one I said, even when I was looking for another normal villager as Lolly came in the second three villagers ( the ones you have to decorate their outdoors) along with her came Broccolo, the lazy blue mouse whom I also adore.

I have both!

That's exactly how I find them to be too.

Personally, I'm team Raymond (though I think both are over-hyped, at least the hype makes more sense than the anti-hype... like, if you like something you wanna talk about it, but why waste time ranting about things you don't like?) Marshall is very cute, and I love his eyes. But he's so... white. His hair is cute, and so are the cheeks, but otherwise his design is rather minimalistic and doesn't have a ton of details. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'd still like him at some point, and he is still in the top tier of villagers for me. But, between him and Raymond, Raymond winds hands down.

I just adore Raymond. First off- cats are the best species, so that gives him an innate advantage. But his design also feels more detailed and interesting to me. His eyes are just as cutely shaped as Marshall's, and his glasses make them stand out more, but the heterochromia? SUCH a delightful detail, I love it. And his hair is floofier than Marshall's, who has slicker hair, and the floofier the better, really. Overall, Raymond just seems to have more personality IMO and I love that about him. I've actually had him for months now and am only now really, truly considering letting him leave

 

[Loubenia]

Not Raymond neither Marshal have asked me once to leave, if they would a No is gonna be my definite answer, Raymond today he told me he was in the skinny jeans mode, he said his pair came with a special tool to put them on. He’s so delightful!

 

[smug villager]

I have both and enjoy it that way. The two interact with each other frequently and it's always really funny and cute.

I've had Raymond before and I currently have Marshal. Raymond is cool but I still find Marshal cuter. It also helps that he has a music hobby and I do enjoy hearing my villagers sing.

I think Raymond's popularity comes from looking like the cool anime guy trope. And his heterochromia (two different colored eyes). But I still prefer Marshal.
