Oh, Harvey's absolutely creepier. When you scan the amiibo in they just.. Stand there like dolls. Creepy dolls that won't talk to you. The whole sitch gives me he heebie jeebies.
actually I have to say, that part is extremely creepy. I scanned isabelle in before I had her at my residents services and was excited to see her dialogue.. only for her to... slowly.... turn around and face me... in complete silence.
I love them both actually lol. Harvey's my sweet hippie boy (the room isn't weird it's just a photo studio???) and I find Zipper cute because he's happy and bouncey and brightly colored and has to do with my favorite season. I can see why people find Zipper creepy though especially if they know Robbie from silent hill (who I also find cute lol).
I didn't really think much of Harvey's studio. Zipper, on the other hand, is a wanted criminal on my island. And the crime is creeping out the resident representative.
You know now that you mention it, having a character named Harvey do photo shoots on a secluded island is... certainly a choice. Other than that, design wise and general personality wise, I don't think Harvey is creepy. He's just a stoner dog. But his island is to me now, because of the implication.
Zipper is aesthetically more creepy. I don't mind him so much (wish he would have left less eggs in my rivers and oceans but that's for another thread), but I can see why people who don't like mascots or animatronics might be sketched out by him.
i dont think either of them are creepy harvey is just being used as a vehicle to shoehorn in the photo studio feature but he's such a sweet old guy who loves to hang out and feed birds. zipper is an underpaid retail worker and i respect his struggle.
