The ACNH Rant Thread

idk if this is more of a complaint or me just being confused

so rilla asked me to change her catchphrase and since her's is orginally "hello" i just changed it to "kitty" because i'm uncreative
but then she just carried on saying "hello" so either there's a small glitch in my game or u just can't change sanrio villager's catchphrases

Did she ask you to change her catchphrase, or her greeting? If you changed her greeting, she will only use it the first time she talks to you.

nope it was definately the catchphrase
it's fine, it was probably a one time problem and it might work next time
i'm not too bothered about it tbh, i just thought it was weird

The more and more I play, the more the crappy music stands out. They really failed with this OST in my personal opinion. The songs are just... bland, sound similar to each other and just blend together. Not to mention a lot of the rifts are 5 seconds long and repeat over and over and over and it drives me insane. I know AC music has always been repetitive but I find NH rifts more irritating.

I know. All of the music feels so cheery and upbeat, and that makes them all sound the same. A lot of times when I play in the afternoon I just turn the music off because it's so darn annoying and repetitive.

i usually play in the afternoon, but the other day i turned the music on while playing at around 10AM, and i genuinely could not tell the difference between the music playing then vs. what plays in the afternoon. it all sounds near identical to me, and not particularly animal crossing-y either? idk, i listened to some hourly themes from past games a few weeks ago and they all had a distinct AC vibe that no NH theme apart from 5AM (for me) manages to pull off. there's just that one distinct instrument/set of sounds that all the other games have had in most of their hourly themes, and i'm pretty sure it's either entirely or largely absent in NH's. i'm listening to a video of all NL's themes right now, and so far they've all been bearable at worst and very distinct. (7PM and a lot of the late night/early morning ones are gorgeous.) the same can't be said for NH imo.

I agree. I loved the sad, soft music at 11 pm that signaled that I spent my whole day playing New Leaf

Give him one of each flower (petal)

@Corrie
Ditto on that and to everyone talking about the music. I can't remember how the museum music was in the previous games, but it just had the same two notes playing on repeat for a solid minute until it started to blend into more beats. I think that's the problem. A lot of the music has the same repetitive beats and it feels like it should then blend its way into longer verses, but it just doesn't. It just keeps repeating the same notes over and over and it because of that it's so jarring that it makes someone like me who is music illiterate notice it right away.

Shaking my head that I decided to try trading on Nookazon. The person I made a trade with continually kept trading with others, putting me off, then asking me if I'd be around until much later this evening. It's like when you're in line to see a movie and the ticket seller decides to call everyone else behind you up first. Then they proceed to start taking others just showing up while telling you to wait. It's not a very good feeling. You know they can serve you, they have the ability to do so; they just choose not to. That's what gets me.

I wish that we weren't limited to 10 villagers, because one of my siblings accepted a visitor I didn't want and kicked out one of my favorite villagers
I also wish we could toggle the background music volume so I could listen to music players outside

I wish the mermaid set was customizable to another colour palette. The pink/blue is cute but doesn't feel right to me. A seafoam green/dark blue/purple mix would have a more mermaid vibe to me. At least then I could actually use the furniture to decorate my beaches.

Just tell them you can and just not show up.

And I didn't realize it sooner, but 9PM isn't even music. It's mostly just background noise.

Exactly the reason why I always mute the Switch while playing in handheld mode and listening to music on YouTube. NH's OST is kinda lame compared to those from the previous games. It lacks on uniqueness and songs that are standing out, which is a shame, because usually Animal Crossing OSTs are well made. But NH is disappointing at many parts, sometimes just boring if not even annoying. The only song which is nice is the theme song imo.

I had a similar situation the other day, I just cancelled the trade because I wasted too much time waiting for nothing, especially since in my case, the person just went offline without giving me an update about the trade. I mean, I don't mind waiting, but when you get constantly pushed back and also have other trades accepted where people waiting for you, it's get very stressful. If you still waiting to trade with this person, perhaps telling them that you would like to cancel the trade and search for someone who has the time to trade with you.

You're right! I really think they took the minimalistic approach to the music a bit too far this time around.

There’s so much i have to scream into the void about that it deserves a spoiler.

Spoiler

As for firsts, the game‘s unfinished. People tend to say “it was during a pandemic”. Then delay the game. This game used to be about interacting with a small community of animals. This game is slowly pandering to the masses, which would normally seem like a good thing. But this series hasn’t changed a thing in years and its slowly becoming more of an instagram e-celeb game more than an animal crossing game. One of the directors quit nintendo, anyways. Also, let’s talk about updates. There’s been no new content that hasnt been datamined. What’s that mean? Nintendo is artificially extending this games lifestyle by pretending to be making new context each month. We haven’t gotten anything that has been new, original or fun since Welcome Amiibo. I think it’s time i jump ship from this franchise. It’s a leaking ship and the caption refuses to accept anything is wrong.

Update: Nixed the trade and found another one at a far better price along with someone actually on. I'm bringing positivity to this rant thread and you can't stop me!

I think I've grown tired of my favourite villagers and want new ones.
But I don't want new ones because I have all my favourites. It's a conundrum

Lately I've been feeling that too, but then its like if I get rid of them It will be hard to them again.

This is why I always mute the game and turn on New Leaf music. Makes me feel more relaxed to be honest.

I think the game meant you were too close to the beach? Notice the end of the square is on the beach cliff. Or.. it's a glitch. It's kinda sad that the game didn't let you put the ramp there, because it fits the area.

at 10:16 pm, i went onto the island designer

before
