Whisper and aliens

[acornavenue]

I do hope in the switch version whisper is more involved like he was and not stuck in a lamp we only use for amiibo. Also if i remember correctly its been so long didnt we have aliens or a ufo that we could slingshot at night? I miss that because im not a fan that in NL all you get is the ballon set. I used to love getting stuff that in NL i sold my slingshot after i got everything i needed

The UFO was always Gulliver and they made him a normal sailor again in New Leaf. I honestly would prefer more of a combination of the various games where Gulliver is still a sailor, but when he washes up on the beach you have to search for replacement parts for his ship.

As for Whisper, I'd like to see him back in the role he had in the original Animal Crossing, but more prominent as well. Have him show up as a special NPC like Redd, but one that only appears at night. Maybe give him a ghostly shop where he sells services in exchange for items. They can be anything such as "Watering all the plants in town", "Removing all the weeds", "Fill the entire town with weeds" (if things like Weeding Day return), etc.

^ Giving Wisp a shop like that is such a good idea, why have I not heard anyone else suggest such a thing? It's like one of those odd shops in an Rpg that is usually found in a black market somewhere that doesn't offer conventional amenities. Make the currency the spirits that you had to catch for him in the Gamecube version.

As for aliens,
I want to be visited by actual aliens this time around. There were some funny fan theories that the 3:33am message was a declaration of war, so having them actually visit your town would be cool. Have them show up every once in a while and setup a shop that offers trades instead of using bells, offering up extremely rare space-themed items like the Metroid, Arwing model and models of various planets.

Even have one among the group that you could convince to move into your town.

What would be cool is if there would be a fake UFO and a real UFO. Both appear at random times.
The fake one is Gulliver, who is still a sailor at day, but a "alien" at night. However, there is a real
UFO with a real alien, who is angry that someone (Gulliver) pretends to be him. In general, if aliens
become a thing in the game, then I would be happy. They could bring back the observatory, which
would fit to the whole alien thing, like looking out for any space ships flying over your town and so
on.

As for Whisper, honestly, I never really cared so much for that character, but I wouldn't mind if
they gave him a shop or any other job that makes him more useful and important for the game.

Whisper is cute and I love ghosts, but I have used him a grand total of two times in NL (mostly because I don't have the villagers' amiibo cards that I really want, lol). I would love to see him do something else so I would be able to use him more.

As for aliens... YES PLEASE. I think this game is just weird enough (Mopina anyone?) for aliens to actually play a role in the game, although I'm not sure what they'd do. But since the switch has a more capability than the 3ds, I'd really like to see them do more cool, weird stuff like this.

Thats right it was Gulliver! I like his new role. I do hope we get message in a bottle back. But aliens would be cool just more role in the slingshot

I would like a return to form for wisp, something tells me they’re going to keep his amiibo capabilities, but give all his old powers back (even weed picking, because let’s face it, Leif isn’t always open at night, so it would be nice to have another way)

Also, if I recall with the update, you get other items now as well from shooting balloons (if the balloon set is completed)

I've seen a couple of videos in the first game where Wisp ask you to collect spirits. I think that would be neat if he did that again, as I never really got to experience that. Plus the shop idea is very cool, I'm totally in for that. As for the alien part, I'm not too sure.
