Villager Dialogue

[Spongebob]

Okay, not sure if anyone else feels this, but is anyone here a bit nervous about how villager interaction will go in this game?? I am on the side of people that felt like New Leaf villagers were like, way too nice lol. I much prefer the jerkish villager interactions in Gamecube and Wild World. To me, them being rude weridos in those game just idk, felt like it gave the game more personality? It was really funny. Now I'm not saying I want everyone to be a jerk 24/7, no. I'd just prefer if the villager dialogue had a bit more edge to it, like the older games. Anyone else feel the same?​

NL dialogue was tragic, compared to Wild World's extensive and witty dialogue.

I think they'll improve it this time around, as they've surely gotten a lot of negative feedback about the labotomized NL villager dialogue.

They need to keep the fans interested and not bore them into not wanting to play, so I think it will be a big improvement on NL.

one time in wild world I forgot me and a villager had made plans and I missed the appointment
and I was so scared of the reaction they were gonna have I didnt play for months

I wanna feel that fear again

in an interview somewhere, they said they wanted to improve villager interactions for new horizons so I don't think we should have to worry about that. they usually never let us down on their word!

I really hope it’s better too! I never had an issue with NL dialogue really but in comparison to previous games it definitely felt more lifeless so I’d be happy to see some of that old spark come back.

I also saw somewhere that they wanted to update the speech for NH.
That's why they didn't add new personalities (so it wouldn't matter if they added new species) it would however if they added a new personality type due to all the dialogue that would come with it.

If we look at ACGC and ACWW, there is plenty of dialogue that they could refresh or use for inspiration to remember how charming each character was. So if the villagers are anything like that, NH will be much better.
I'm not saying they copy and paste speech from previous games, I'm hoping they use what they have from previous games to mold the dialogue to each personality, so that they stand out individually and not become a blur like they were in NL.
Let's all hope eh? (｡☌︎ᴗ☌︎｡)❤︎

New horizons seems to have included a lot of features that fans have been asking for for years now. I fully believe that they will have improved dialogue for the villagers due to that being one of the major issues everyone has had with new leaf. New horizons has made leaps in progress from previous games with the help of hhd, the welcome amiibo update, and PC so I doubt they would make so many changes and not take dialogue into consideration.

I am personally hoping each individual character has their own quirks and dialogue separate from that of villagers in their same personality grouping. Due to the speech upgrades in PC when you level up your friendship with campers I'm also hoping the dialogue is altered or added onto with free updates to animal crossing every so often.
