that the white fences in the trailer dont EXIST

Which trailer would this be?

I am so lucky and blessed, I should say, that people on here have Celeste and offer entrance to get the zodiac DIYs. I managed to craft 2 Capricorn ornaments, and wouldn't have been able to if not for everyone's generosity. Now, we are moving on to Aquarius soon...and still Isabelle doesn't announce anything. Seriously, if Celeste or shooting stars in general are on the island for that day, Isabelle should be REQUIRED to announce it. I don't care. Weekly NPCs and Celeste should always be announced. I'm tired of her morning "announcements". They aren't cute. They are annoying and she has become as useless as poor Label.

Isabelle came back because of fan-service. I actually enjoyed Nook's announcements in the beginning. He actually told me stuff that was worth mentioning. Granted he was only around during the scripted tutorial, so that could be why. Her announcements were cute the first few days, but I was done after that. You used to hear talk about her quirky announcements all the time on twitter or whatever when the game first came out, but now everyone is pretty much on the same page. Especially when the devs refused to make her announce anything of worth.

I can't remember when it was, as I would have to dig into my post archive, but probably around December Isabelle announced my first ever meteor shower. I've had the game since launch day. Everyone kept saying 'Isabelle is announcing a meteor shower!' and it really bothered me that I had to almost wait a full year to get one.

Of course that night, I realized I had gotten showers quite a bit that weren't announced. I just assumed the ones that I were getting were the unannounced shooting stars and that the true meteor shower was like stars just falling from the sky like armageddon. So all those times I got a meteor shower through the year and they couldn't bother to have Isabelle announce it that day? I'm sure there were days that I didn't bother getting on at night and I had a shower I missed.

Sure I could do the whole weather seed thing and some day I probably will, but why is it our job to do their job?

It was this trailer. If I remember right, that was the first real showcase of New Horizons that wasn't just a tease. The white picket fencing is at the very end. I got the same cozy, delighted feels watching this again!

Dang I actually watched that one to see if it was the one they were referring to and I completely missed the fences lol. Kind of weird they didn't add them when it's clear they're rigged/complete. Maybe they didn't implement them because it felt more like a 1950s suburban fence, but with a lot of islands being so advanced now they should just bring it back.

Also is it just me or does the little clip of the winter area look and feel different then the actual winter in the game feels? I don't know, there's just something about it that is different.

They are really easy to miss if you aren't watching for it. I am just surprised that they don't let us customize the wooden fences we can craft. Or customize fences in general. I would love to see a red iron fence to match those red iron stairs!

I feel that a bit too. My guess would be that I think when it snows in the game there is a bluish filter on the lighting, sort of like in real life when it snows. It's like the opposite of the intense orange filter put on the game during sunset. I think they hadn't implemented this lighting change in the trailer clip, so it looks a lot more grey.

i want the white fences we were promised

also i don't like how amiibos work in this game, i wish it was like NL
i change my villagers a lot so i barely have any materials for myself because i always have to craft amiibo villagers the most high quality items 3 times
like iron frames, garden wagons, golden candlesticks etc
i mean seriously, gold?!

or at least make it so i only invite them once, craft what they want, then they move in

New Leaf had in fact more options compared to NH. There were more unique looking designs available for the facade, roof, door and mail box along with even the option to change the overall look of your house. Happy Home Designer (although only being a spin-off game) also offered some more designs which looked pretty cool. I really don't understand why they don't added those to NH and even removed some (like the option with picking and expanding rooms).

Thanks for clearing that up! That's a shame, really. But maybe the expand upon it in an update. I mean, all they have to do is model some more facades, doors, and so on.

Honestly my biggest pet peeve in this game is the inconsistency to what we can and can't customize!

I guess it would make sense if you could only customize the craftable items and some details of the storebought ones, though I would like to be able to customize those all the way as well, but then why are the mom items customizable? And why are there some craftable items with no customization options even though they could have at least one? I don't get it and honestly I wish we could just customize everything!

Yep. And they allow us to move buildings, but the Town Hall is out of question for some reason.
The Airport is understandable as that could be extremely tricky to pull off.

i've been holding onto that dream bell exchange ticket without even realizing it until today when i first got it, i didn't want to get rid of it, thinking it would be for something.. it's been in my storage for months, collecting dust.

I did that for the longest time too. I realized I had it in my inventory for a month and then I looked it up. I was hoping we could exchange them for dream furniture or something.

I think I just found out right now that those dream tickets were useless... what a waste of inventory space, I was also keeping mine lol

They aren't useless unless you consider getting 5k bells a pop useless.

I hate When Tom nooks mentions getting a house when you’re a new player. He says normally the houses costs this amount of bells, but I’ll let you have it for this amount of nook miles. I would rather you let me have it for bells

He makes it sound like that’s the better option, which clearly is not. It would be so much faster with bells.

 

[John Wick]

Yes, but that’s the only anatomical model NH has. There is no see-through version with the heart and arteries, just the one you showed me.

Yep, I know.

So many awesome items left out.

Yeah, I didn’t really catch that when I started the game, but when I started my alt, it was a ‘hey wait a minute!’ moment.

I just got the snowflake DIY from a balloon
Even though Isabelle already gave me the snowflake DIY when it first started snowing D:

I wish I wouldn’t get repeat DIYs. I’ve been getting so many repeats lately it’s silly because I know I don’t have all the DIYs yet!
