So. What should we name that Moth girl?
Hello Jello
Mothy?
Goth
emo
When I saw the word ‘Legends’ I thought you were sponsored by Raid.
No ones talking about how cute the greenhouse moth is. Everyone should talk about how cute the greenhouse moth is immediately. SHE DISGUISES HERSELF AS AN OWL. BECAUSE SHE KNOWS BLATHERS. DOESNT LIKE BUGS. I would die for her.
I agree. I love her design. But it feels weird to me because we can catch moths. It's like the whole thing with the catfish controlling the swamp area. Otherwise, she is precious.
I dont know... A bug villager would be even weirder than a fish vilager... Anf it would also change blathers dislike of bugs from a silly quirk into strait up RACISM!
you saw that too! I was love struck! I like to imagine she likes blathers and is trying to be what he likes, perhaps she helps him recover from his trauma when he learns the truth! Ah that would even play into the character interaction unlockables. love. just pure love for the design and any and all of its potential.
WAIT SHES NOT AN OWL? AM I THINKING OF THE RIGHT PERSON?
I SHIP IT.
SSSSSHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIPPPPPPPP
"the kind of person who cheat-codes in a bunch of money in the sims and uses it to build their mega-mansion, then immediately stops playing when their sim moves in"
I'm in this picture and I don't like it
I
I don't not like it there too....
this made me feel directly called out
Who here is going to abuse the heck outta Turnips within the first day
I’m kinda in the picture and I don’t like it
I feel like I was being watched...
Blathers should have different degrees of fear in regards to the size of bug you donate.
like if you give him a fly or an ant he's like "oh...haha...t-thanks." but if you hand him the scorpion or tarantula, he should scream bloody murder like jack black
YES
Just wait until he realizes that the greenhouse attendant is the world’s biggest moth
I love the idea that the whole game the audio is sped up Japanese, except for blathers's scream which is just normal-ass Jack Black
IIRC if you give him a cockroach in Wild World, he freaks out way more than he does with any other bug
That’d probably be a bit difficult to program, but I really like that idea. Something like that would make me wanna actually read the characters dialogue instead of just spamming through it all.
I feel like instead of just stopping time you could just talk to isabelle and pretty much she, nook, and other npcs would upkeep the town while you were away. You tell her how long you will be gone for and, boom, your villagers will be told not to worry and most weeds will be picked for you. However this only works when you are away from the game not playing so you can't just never pick weeds
A bit late but the problem with it is that the seasons still change. Its supposed to appeal to both faster paced players and to stylists by having a permanent season or day for as long as you want, like allowing a Halloween themed village being constantly in Halloween. No matter how much you'd want to do it, with the upkeep system, you'd have to limit playing for a holiday town to just the holiday. And I'd rather not play a game once a year if I like it.
But in-universe it wouldn't super make sense why they don't always do that
@@cgkase6210 also a bit late, maybe have season keeping be a reward for a perfect town. Maybe unlocking a character such as Farley or Serena that will stick around even if you lose the perfect town rating and they will allow you to change the seasons and other cool stuff like that.
Oh yes my favorite seasons summer Fall winter and Wet
*W E T*

Maybe its a NEW season In the southern heimisphere
Uwa!!!
Damn wet is the best season

lol he’d turn Zelda into an Assasin’s creed game
@@scipioafricanus133 Breath of the Wild turned it into a Skyrim game, so honestly I'm okay with assassins creed.
Also we could play as sheik.
Yes that would be Amazing!
Legend of Zelda, yes

Eh, DIY recipes make trash a bit useful
@Guilherme Graziotin garbage but not as garbage
I’m sorry I couldn’t ignore your pfp it’s amazing
Too bad there aren’t enough garbage DIYs :/ I got all of them within the first couple of weeks, when there could be so many more added like a boot plant like from Wall•e, a shoe rack, rubber flooring, some used cans to decorate your kitchen, etc.
LMAOOOOOO
new horizons is definetly A LOT into stylish section of the triangle
Thats why nh is my favourite, I'm definitely more of a stylist sort of player. However, for the other types I can see why they might not be so fond of it
It's only a nudge more diagonally up-left than HHD
you win profile of the year
New Horizons has actually been the worst game for that when it comes to decorating your house outside of maybe the first (even then the first seems better.) The game is just missing so many furniture sets from previous games, and lacks the ease of so many of the other games in getting the furniture you want.
Why can't you re-colour furniture on demand like New Leaf? Why have they cut so many furniture sets? Why are the shops so incredibly small and so many are basically missing? And it takes so long to even get to style your island and house in this game. If you want more shops to be able to style (buy furniture for) your house you have to waste a bunch of bells and time/resources making town projects. And after that you need to work up a bunch of Nook Miles to fly to basically empty islands where the most you can do is get fruit (and again this game has less fruit than the previous... Somehow) and make a Tarantula Island.
As someone who lives with someone who dropped hundreds of hours into City Folk, New Leaf, and over 500 on Happy Home Designer, this game definitely doesn't do a great job for people who mainly care for designing houses.
@@haruhirogrimgar6047 yeah. But I guess putting furniture outside is cool
19:57 here’s an idea: instead of cutting fine art, just add a new traveling merchant who only sells legit fine art (no forgeries) but at a higher price than Redd’s shop (which would still sell art at a lower price but with a chance of it being forged). Those who can distinguish which ones are fake by looking at them (which is possible in new leaf, as the forgeries look noticeably different from the real ones) can shop at Redd’s to get a cheaper price, while those who can’t (or simply don’t want to) can pay a little more to guarantee an original. And there could also be another traveler you can sell the forgeries to (maybe they buy them for the canvas and paint over them with their own designs, or maybe they’re Redd’s supplier or even Redd himself but he’s in disguise), so if you wind up with a forgery, it’s not a total loss.
a year late, but wanted to say that i actually love this concept and think it has some real teeth. the new merchant could have a rivalry with redd, who tries to convince you that the authentic merchant is a scammer. make them another species often depicted as being slippery and cunning, like a snake (a cobra art dealer would be amazing). the forgery buyer could be a forgery-focused art collector, something snooty-looking like a borzoi or afghan hound maybe? or something with a bit of chaotic energy, like a raccoon or tasmanian devil.
i like redds because now you can look at the art and if you know whaty the painting is suppose to look like you can pick out the right art, its skill based rather than luck based
That still has the problem of the art completion being luck based, though.
@@virginiafernandez6846 i think if you had the second merchant not sell duplicate pieces that would help
Well fir red just look at a website that shows you the difference abc explains it
That’s what I did
"SO IS THE INEVITABLY OF DEATH, KAREN! THAT DOESN'T MEAN I WANT IT IN MY ANIMAL CROSSING GAME!" Jello you are a gem, and I almost just a gut laughing at this line.
"If you didn't save correctly they'd *R I P O U T Y O U R E Y E B A L L S* "
Jello,
Jello please calm down.
The children are scared
@Super Greyflash dude same. does it actually do that?
@@anishthefish2439 yeah. It does.
I agree
Exactly. Jello is just trying to protecc the innocent chiren from the real villain; gamecube animal crossing.
You know what...
Frick acnh for getting rid of the clock! Time traveling is what make the game!
Painting entirely luck based?
Fake paintings?
Art History Majors: *Heavy Breathing*
The luck based part is that you need to wait for Crazy Redd to decide to show his face, then you also need to be lucky enough for him to decide to sell a painting you need.
Also, actually being able to tell which paintings are fake is a New Leaf exclusive feature. Prior to that, forgeries were undetectable aside from getting Blathers to tell you that you got scammed.
@@misirtere9836 also there werent even any fakes in the gamecube one
@@misirtere9836 ah true. But New Leaf rewards my animation major. Have to take art history next semester.
In New Leaf, real and fake paintings actually have different textures, which means you can guess which one out of the four is real.
@@lavistardust True! Although it can be hard to see the differences between the real and fakes pieces sometimes because of how small the textures appear on screen lol
This is an old video but let’s talk about how Jello’s entire idea was about how we’re not getting rid of the clock, we’re just giving players the option to go faster. There are still wait times and obviously there’s room to make assumptions and discuss the specifics of the waits (hence the extra seasonal areas being non-playable UNTIL the in game season has been unlocked) but this just allows for all play styles! Making the clock manipulation more accessible is good because it allows players to move a little faster if they want, and allows for the reclining “time travel shouldn’t be allowed” people to keep doin their things. It seems like everyone missed that? There are universally agreeable unnecessary wait times that we can drop altogether but giving players the option to move with real time or speed things up is a great idea, how are you gonna tell someone how to play the game? Nintendo didn’t, they saw the direction players were taking the game and rolled with it, with all the new custom designs and terraforming and creative flow, Nintendo doesn’t care how you play so why not make it more available to play faster?
It a bit to do with intended play. A new playing is not going to not use a feature even if it is better for them. By having that feature there you would have to design the game to be more focus on this way changing the core of what animal crossing is
@@bigwave1713 Not necessarily, I am not a game developer nor do I pretend to know how much extra work would be involved, but the thing that made NH so fun was the commitment and attention to detail in the quality of life (at least in the later updates) which is exactly what Jello talks about, to draw attention to one play style is inevitable and the entire game franchise has been pandering to that play style up until NH and it has now progressed more towards the recliner/designer, there is absolutely no reason not to have a game mechanic that would help the collector who likes completionism. There is still plenty of work in it. Besides he already talked about how the clock manipulation would benefit those types of players as well.
I think something often misunderstood is that anti-TT people aren't choosing to go slower because they don't want to go faster, it's that they're purists about the game design philosophy itself. Including TT as an in-game accessible feature will implicitly eliminate the style of slower, daily gameplay that AC builds itself around, and a different argument can be made for whether that itself is inherently flawed or not.
Jello makes a good point about people who don't have time to play at length daily, and a system that punishes them is bad for sure. However, while making it completely real-time-agnostic means you can play as much as you want, and then not at all, it also means the majority of players will always going to be going as fast as they can. A player that is out of things to do won't take the time to relax and wait for the real time clock to move if there's a button that says "skip to the next part" that the game invites you to press. That's why the design implicitly changes - to choose to wait around would actually be ignoring an aspect of gameplay. Even if it feels like they're "forcing" you to wait now, and more goal-oriented people take issue with that, I think that restrictive part of the design was and still is intentional.
To a certain extent I do think the devs have the right to tell you how to play their game, and people absolutely have the right to disobey that anyway without it being called a design mistake. A designing angle I would really like to see is one that incentivizes and rewards non-TT gameplay (like giving them more to do in a day, reducing some unnecessary waiting, etc.), as even though it's probably a much tougher thing to accomplish, I think it would make for a much more interesting Animal Crossing than one that just deprecates it. It might as well just be a different game, without it.
The thing is... Number one, Time Travel was _never_ supposed to be an intended feature, and probably should never be, some things are left best as their original state, and not trying to bring it in to focus more.
And second... Well, _this is Animal Crossing, for Pete's sake!_ The original GCN game was advertised as the "The game that's running every minute of every day, whether you're playing, or not." Removing that would basically destroy what little remains of the original intent of the games. It would remove what's cool about the games.
Just _having_ it there, right in front of your face, _nearly every_ player will go "Hey, cool" and use it, never really getting to experience _what_ the game was intended to play like.
The original Animal Crossing was intended to be just a relaxing game, not one that you're supposed to blow through and be done with it. I know different people have differing styles of play, but first and foremost, Animal Crossing is just intended to be a relaxing game, building up your town, just chilling with villagers.
@@hat-desu I think I pretty much agree with everything you said, and as far as giving the reclining traditional players more things to do and having less wait time punishments is honestly the heart of it all, maybe the sleeping time travel dragon is something you can access in a menu and not someone just hanging out in your town so you only know about it if you’ve explored a lot of other options in game or you’ve read it somewhere online, that way you’ll use him if you want, and most likely won’t even find him if you don’t look for it. It could even just be a simpler way like having Tom Nook or Isabella in the menu (although the reason I liked winkle I because his concept is fun and whimsical) Just to make it a bit more palatable.
you know, as much as i kind of understand the whole "waiting is part of the charm!" and "waiting for the reward makes you come back the next day!" and similar arguments, they feel less convincing when i remember that there are plenty of games that make me want to play again tomorrow without...you know, actually FORCING me to wait until tomorrow
Agreed. If anything, the wait until tomorrow mechanic literally makes me go "well, I'm busy tomorrow, so I guess this is goodbye" and my town becomes abandoned after enough wait days.
This video is Jello saying he’d rather play star dew valley.
I agree, he was comparing it too much to stardew valley, and they're 2 completely different games
It honestly showed the "I WANT IT NOOOOW" mentality that people have these days, I personally feel with ACNH only days away, and with everything we have seen that there will be so much to see/do, that having to "wait for a day" wont even be a problem for the most part.
And yet a lot of the things he complains about are things within stardew valley as well. So I guess he doesn't really like stardew valley THAT much either.
@@garfieldfan420 animal crossing and stardew vallew and barely alike, instead of making this video he shouldve just.. u know.. played stardew valley
I hate everyone in this reply chain.
I really like the moth villager disguised as an owl for blathers.
ikr that was cool!
tho its existence puzzles me
i like how he slowly descends into madness
31:29 that atm was breaking him.
I really like the idea of guilt-tripping me for being gone for a while so I have a different idea. I feel like you should just be able to post a notice in game that you'll be gone for a while and that everyone take care of my shit. so when I get back all my villagers are happy I'm back and are saying hi and stuff and all my shit isn't dead but it's works the same as stopping time but people are happier to see you

@@septimustache6359 Then play Stardew Valley instead.
@@Gboy86ify Stardew valley isn't a life sim, it's a farming sim with some combat. The NPCs are garbage that say the same things over and over again.
@@Gboy86ify I mean how other people play the game doesn't effect you so why do you care how others play?
@@FlareChargerMLPAnimeFan bc the game isnt intended for that kind of play
If Jell-O was a animal crossing villager, he would be a sheep wearing a cardigan
I don’t know why, but I think this is the most accurate
This doesn't feel like an "Animal Crossing" game necessarily, but GOD do I want to play this game.
I feel like you approach this with a lot of bias to the "collector" style of play at the start. Adding in a time skip feature while also having the seasonal islands, is just a way to speed up the game and make things easier to collect everything. That removes a bit of the point for a lot of the audience of animal crossing. I think a lot of people who play AC are somewhere in the middle of that grid. Most people who like to design their town, tend to also be a recliner and like to relax it. Most people who are recliners, want to collect everything or gradually do so etc. Having everything to do at once, is kinda takes away the feeling of not having to do anything, or a lot that is a part of animal crossing. I think the way you design the game, would make for a really good game, but not so much a really good animal crossing game. Though some of the other things you mention like, more personalities, more bugs, more fish and more things to collect would definitely make for a good addition. More of a back story for the main cast would definitely be good too, like the Able sisters story line.
Mattgamer80 Not going to lie... that sounds like the weirdest opinion I’ve ever heard of animal crossing. To me it sounds like “animal crossing is already a game for everyone and it’s not about doing anything at all... but to access a lot of the stuff you need to do all this”. To me, animal crossing is the most relaxing linear experience ever. You want to design? Repeat this 100 times. You want to collect? Do this 100 times. You want to relax? Well do nothing... or repeat this 100 times until you get bored
I agree with you, personally i fit all 3 types he outlines as well, but if collecting things was easier id easily start to feel pressured to actually collect stuff, it would accelerate my gameplay which, i think, isnt what ac is about at all
@@choco699 AC is a life sim game, that's the point. Why Time travel and get everything from the start? The wait is part of the experience. There are game theories about slightly longer loader zones to give the player time to reflect
I mean The recliners could just kinda lengthen the experience by not going to the islands
I would love it if they improved the personalities. I mean, in new leaf they offer each month a download for a new item. Why can't they simply add or change a few lines of a characters dialog instead?
Good news, Blather's personality is back! It's so interesting to read him do his little explanations on all the donations!
Also! The villagers keep sitting on my BUGS! I WAS TRYING TO CATCH THAT CITRUS BEETLE, *GOOSE*
DaggersLegend 54 no he doesn’t he can give you unique explanations on the bugs and why he hates them did you just not ask him for an explanation?
DaggersLegend 54 If you give him a bug on it’s own he yells about how much he hates it and if you ask him to tell you more he does the thing where he describes why he hates it, idk how you’ve been playing.
DaggersLegend 54 like if you donate a snail he yells about how disgusting the slimy trail it leaves is, you didn’t actually read that or play new horizons did you?
He says the same thing every time
a lot of people in these comments haven't been asking blathers to tell them more about the bugs and fishes they bring in and it shows.
Bro when he was describing the 3 types of players I was like “yeah yeah he’s kinda getting me (the stylist) correct” THEN HE SAID THE SIM THING AND I LOCKED MY WINDOW.
I had an idea to add for customisation, a personality creator! Where you can select expressions and body animations for when you do certain acts to bring the player alive more, every villager feels the same just with a different outfit, so letting them have a wide selection of ways they behave and react would be nice, I know there’s emotes, but they still feel bland and almost not expressive enough
Trash is actually useful in new horizons because you can craft furniture with plastic or rubber
Oh snap, they had a crafting mechanic? Put that in! I have an unhealthy love of collecting junk to make things until my kneecaps burst under the sheer weight of my pack.
Joseph Perez then you’re gonna LOVE new horizons bro, theres tons of cute and fun things to craft
@@josephperez2004 yeah new horizons lets you even customize your crafts with colors and patterns!
Whole thing sounds awesome, everyone.
Honestly, only played the original Animal Crossing on Gamecube, sort of moved away from consoles before the rest started coming out.
But some of my fondest memories of that game were designing shirts with the Able Sisters, both for the artistic exercise and getting to talk to them and learn about their lives. Being able to slowly get Sable to open up just about made my heart burst.
@@josephperez2004 Not only that, we will now have backpacks AND kneecaps!
Like a lot of other people have said, I feel like giving the player that much control over the clock undermines precisely what makes Animal Crossing a uniquely enjoyable game. "Fun" isn't always about the player being in control or the player mastering the game world; some games are fun precisely because the world is outside of the player's control. This may sound like a strange comparison, but Animal Crossing resembles roguelikes in this regard. Losing can be fun; its entertaining to go fishing and then pull up a piece of garbage rather than a fish. You can't just optimize the game on day 1; instead cool piece of furniture your find or rare bug you catch is a memorable moment, moments that are spread out across months of playtime. The difference, of course, is that Animal Crossing is low stakes so none of the "losses" Animal Crossing doles out actually harm you in the game.
You've got to chill out when you play Animal Crossing. It's not a game about winning; it's not a game about expediency. It's a game just about being in the world.
Right? It sounds like he needs a different game, something more engaging to keep him interested. Perhaps he should just play stardew valley
You said it better than I could. I guess this is why it's the game he would want out of animal crossing.
They already have that control over the clock. I think I'd prefer it not be doable via exploit OR in-game interface, but I understand why players WOULD want it, and believe if they aren't going to prevent the exploit of time travelling that they ought to just make it accessible and integrated. Maybe at world creation, like MineCraft, where if you check "Hardcore" there's no going back, but in this case they check if the time-controlling dragon is there.
@@AstridCeleste96 but that's the thing though. Jello seems to be acting like it's an inconvenient feature when in reality it's an exploit that's probably not even going to be in new horizons
Anything Agency I feel like an inconvenient exploit that is totally necessary to be able to actually play the game the way you want should just be a feature that’s improved upon. It seems to me, a lot of the complaints about this video are claiming that he’s biased but from a purely unbiased perspective (I have no dog in this race, my exposure to these games has always been secondhand), *you* all seem to be needlessly defending a game that is incredibly inconvenient to play, *objectively*. He literally explained how it’s inconvenient but for some reason a lot of people keep saying he’s wrong. I see a lot of appeals to tradition fallacies being employed, but nothing that actually points to him being wrong. You come the closest by pointing out Time Travel isn’t inherently a feature, but it still seems necessary to actually play the game, so I fail to see how that matters.
"processing power of an egg timer" is one of my all time favorite quotes
I think it's so true now..
*"Haha, you decided to fish! F- (bleep) you, here's an tire!"*
Im starting to thing think he doesn't like animal crossing
same
I was like 420. Hah.
Read between the lines. He absolutely adores it. This is why he put the time and effort into this video.
@@mikethewordsmith4263 That would be believable if he didn't explicitly say he disliked every single game except for the first one, and even then only really enjoyed it by cheating. Combine that with all the core concepts he wants to change, and you get the feeling that he really just wants the series to be something entirely different
@@Xenlavian Does someone need to sing the praises of core concepts 24/7 to appreciate a franchise?
I don't really see how your vision of the game appeals to "the recliner" at all.
You made the game sound great, but not very relaxing, which as a recliner myself, for me that's main appeal of the series.
Sounds good for the other two though.
not a stylist, but i didnt really see much geared towards it either. clearly biased which makes me wonder why he brought up the triangle to begin with
@Dovahgatr the current AC games are pointed towards the recliner style because that was the original purpose of the game; to socialize with the villagers and relax. i’m not saying that that can’t change, but that’s just probably why the games are more recliner friendly.
Chillie-Pepper You can pause time, and completely customize your map. That appeals a lot to stylers
xwun As a stylist, I can say this really bothered me. It’s nice to be able to spend real time playing the game because that way you aren’t racing against a clock, you’re walking with it instead
Dovahgatr his chart is actually wrong btw, it’s been moving more towards stylists. You can’t really trust his word on that chart because according to him, he dislikes a lot of the games and spent little to no time with them.
Animal Crossing: is literally about taking things slow
Jello: F A S T E R
🤣
yes.
Ikr!

So hey, Horizons is out, and it's got a lot of the features he wanted. It's the only animal crossing i've ever played, so I can't name every difference, but...
He asked for item stacking, most items stack in Horizons. He asked to be able to place buildings and villagers, you can do that, he asked for a mission based system that gives rewards as an alternative to bells, Horizons has that too, he asked for bells to automatically go into the wallet, well hey now that happens. He asked for you to be able to create your character right off the bat, yup that's here too.
Edit: Trash also has a function now! You can unlock new crafting recipes with trash that you fish up.
Here's hoping you like Horizons Jello, as my first ever animal crossing game I'm in love with it.
Well, Bells don't QUITE go directly into your wallet. Bells from rewards? Sure. Bells you find in holes or presents? Right into your inventory. Thankfully, all you gotta do is click on them, so it's not really a big deal.
Also, Blathers has unique dialogue for each thing you bring to him now. Like with Pillbugs, he mentions that while children find poking them to make them curl up fun, he finds it disgusting to see their little legs squirm about, or with Paper Butterflies, he mentions that, while they look nice, they're highly toxic, cocoons and youths included, and that birds have grown to avoid them ("This bird especially").
@@genesisyugioh9405 Ah. Well I've been talking to Blathers, and it seems like he's got more personality than what Jello was describing. He describes each bug and how he hates it, even even got flustered over why the red snapper was called a red snapper.
@@genesisyugioh9405 Dug up bells don't go into your wallet because you can choose to plant them back in the hole and grow a bell tree. It's kind of a metaphor for the whole game; you can choose to take what you have now and buy like, 1 thing or slow down and reap long term rewards for your decisions.
The game was originally designed to criticize these industrial mindsets where everything needs to be done the exact way you want it when you want it. That the same reason why you can't pick villagers and sometimes your friends move away. Because that's life.
I feel that he made this to late by the time it was posted on the 13th we already knew alot of certain features ..

Hey I’m playing animal crossing cause it’s freaking cute.
That was pretty deep and true at the same time, I’m sad I go cry in bathtub full of sadness.
Ok I love how the botanist character IS A FREAKING VENEZUELAN POODLE MOTH!!! ITS SO CUTE!
It's valid to play the game for collection / styling. I am not trying to tell people how to play the game. But this video doesn't really mention the people who played the game mostly for checking up on and talking with the villagers daily. I would love to see a game where they really went ham on the villagers behavior and made them feel more real.
Animal crossing for me felt less like a game that I wanted to complete and more like a place to visit that had its own things going on.
Unfortunately due to the large amount of villagers they would need to significantly cut the cast in order to give them an actual personality.
@@asierx7047 Not necessarily. The basic personalities just needed more quotes/lines/etc and then they could sprinkle in a few unique on top of that. The villagers definitely need a makeover tho lol I also play for that.
@@asierx7047 Even so, it would make the game feel way more interactive. Instead of seeing a bunch of characters with the same personality
Also, definitely have more villager events... like, villagers having fights, gossiping, asking your opinion on certain things, etc. Maybe you could even have some villagers have secret crushes on each other depending on the personality combo!
You could even add more context to a villager doing something shady and asking you to keep quiet; maybe they could steal from other villagers and try to sell their items to you?
While these ideas are fun, I think you're missing some of the appeal to animal crossing in the idea of "freezing" time. Time progression adds to the feel of the gameplay, time travelling isn't _meant_ to be utilised in the game, hence why it's annoying to do so. I think being kept to the limit of time acts as an incentive to keep playing the game as the seasons change. Being able to go to areas for every season takes away that feeling. Just being able to get every seasonal bug and fish at any time means that "completion" would be over way too quickly and I think that would take away from the experience.
It could just be an option depending on how you want to play. No need to exclude either opinion.
Requiring time out of your day and days out of your month to get certain collectables not incentivizing gameplay it's demanding gamplay.
I would rather have a game with it's own time like stardew valley. You can't get everything from the get go and you control time (not travel back in time).
I would say give the game two modes you can choose from at the start, classic mode, where time functions the same as older games. And rush/arcade mode, designed for people who enjoy Animal Crossing, but either don't have the consistent time or want to be able to accomplish more in less time.
DJ Flash Forward But then it’s not animal crossing 🤷♀️ I feel like if you’re not into the time mechanic it’s just not a game for you.
@@Qunpowder Honestly I like the game, I bought and played the game for a solid month, but it wasn't until I had other games to play and real life obligations did I realize that the game is kinda bullshit about not playing it. I still adore the game but I wish the feeling was mutual.
"Tom Nook smells, great"
I- I can't handle this "subtle" humor
I just want a day where blathers CAN buy my spare fossils (for an increased price maybe?)
The botany owl turning into a botany moth blew. my. freaking. mind.
"We're giving the player the ability to stop time altogether-"
Yeah just imagine if the Villager player had the abilities of The World.
KONO DIO DA!
So its the same type of stand as the world?

IS THIS THE WORK OF A ENEMY STAND
While I feel like this has a lot of good ideas, it just doesn’t feel like animal crossing. As a “stylist“ I agree it’s nice to get a lot done in the time I get to sit down and play the game. It’s frustrating to have to manually take a good extra 2 or more minutes time traveling. But, I feel like waiting is part of the game. Life takes time and so does getting things done in Animal Crossing. The game motivates you to keep playing since you know that things will continue tomorrow. You play the game knowing your town is progressing over time. Imagine this: A long day after work. You’re tired, you remember your hybrids may have grown! Your public work project is finished! You open the game and prepare for tomorrow. The next day, another long day. You remember that, “oh yeah” it’s the fishing tourney today!” You’re motivated to play more.
If you feel like waiting is part of the game, and you time travel, you're fighting for an empty point that clearly doesn't apply to you.
I feel like it should be all or nothing personally, and either way I'm fine with it. I think I'd rather time traveling not exist, and if each seasonal zone existed, make it not have ALL the season's flowers/bugs/fish/etc. but rather have a good chunk, leaving the exceptionally rare to be discovered during the proper seasons in-town. But, if time traveling is going to exist via exploit of changing date/time, I don't want players who want to play when they can and avoid the punishing feeling of missing a few days have to rely on an exploit and feel "less" for it.
Therrion ' I can totally see your point of view! You’ve made some really good points ^^
@@AstridCeleste96 time travel is a necessary evil. putting it in prospective, The comment clearly used work as an example. If you work all day and get home at 9pm or so you miss all the day time activities. There is also the fact that if you are traveling and take the game with you. I brought new leaf with me while I was in Japan and played when on the trains and such and it was weird getting on during the day the first time and it being nighttime in the game because "oh yeah timezones."
Removing time travel completely just isn't a good idea.
Ayy 420th like ha ha it's the _funny number_ please laugh now
Poison Apple ha ha ha
33:02 Fun Fact: Kitty(That Cat) actually has the Name "Karen" in the German Versions of Animal Crossing since New Leaf
As a suggestion instead of mayor tasks, I think a friendship/interaction mechanic with your villagers. When fulfilled, they would help you with any community improvement projects. Having a specific quest for every type of villager personality would be really fun though.
Ooh I kept watching the personality thing having an effect on donating!! Love that
This sounds like a fun game.
But not a fun animal crossing game.
That said, I like the idea of a botany area in the museum.
Personality expansion as well. More than 8 would be nice.
Honestly my only issue is a deep disagreement with the free access to all seasons and the time manipulation.
my thoughts exactly. it changes the fundamental gameplay mechanics and ruins the whole idea for me.
I think time manipulation could be implemented as a 100% completion reward, once you’ve done everything by the book, you can have that added layer of freedom without compromising the original challenge.
I WOULD LOVE A BOTANY AREA and a BOTANY COMPETITION. [Based on the new Trailers ] I would like if in the next new Game you could do more with your fish and Bugs to. Like breeding new hybrid-forms , teaching them a special trick . You know some way to make them more pet like.
Same. Access to everything is an easy way to create an overload of options, while making them all more meaningless. If you could unlock some of those seasonal areas it might be interesting as it is a reward system.
But many of the other things are real problems. There should be more innovation in the series and I really dislike that at some point the game always was a "I have to play, to check certain daily events, but after some time there is not a lot left to do." Maybe add some minigames or other things to keep your player if they want to spend more time.
@@MrJojux animal crossing is a game you have to take in small doses,but even then the nook miles and terraforming in NH does this job waaaaay better then how jello planed it
This is just Jello telling us that he wished Stardew Valley's characters were animals.
There is literally a mod for that.
Bro I don't even think he likes the animals honestly didn't say crap about them in the video
LMFAOOO
Let him be a furry in peace, it's okay
Can we all just admit how cute the moth girl is?
"So is death KAREN i dont want it in my animal crossing game" well tarantulas are here now soooo
I thought of three good reasons to be able to hold bells in your inventory: trading with other players, transferring funds between your characters, and planting money trees. I do still think they should go directly to your wallet when you pick them up though.
Some constructive criticism:
*TL;DR: Having everything instantly, is boring. Don't give ultimate control at the beginning of the game, and give us something to look forward too. You also can't rush through life and enjoy everything it has to offer. You need to slow down to be able to enjoy some things.*
I agree with you on a few points
•Botany section for the museum, and having special types of plants depending on season, month, time? Yes yeS YES NINTENDO *GET ON THAT*
•Bring back the town dump and add a possum that collects trash and rewards you? Great idea.
•Make it easier to time travel? Sure, but don't make it too much in the players face.
•Give the player more stuff to do as mayor besides publics works projects? Yes please
Other stuff like the seasonal areas? Yes, but with some tweaking.
Make the seasonal areas not available year round, but only 1 open depending on the season. If its winter, make the jingle production area open. If its autumn, make the crow farm open, etc. It gives you something to look forward too and still keeps the aspect of how the game passes in real time. Each area would have their own seasonal related activities to do. The activities could range from different things that collectors, recliners, and stylists would like. Activities like catching [so and so bug/fish] thats only available during the season, help garden on the crow farm, build snowmen in the jingle area, help decorate, etc.
Don't make it too easy to collect stuff whenever you want. If most stuff in the game came instantaneously, theres no fun in that. You'll run out of stuff to do way quicker. If the shops closing to be upgraded annoys you, time travel (granted, that they improve that aspect of the game and make it less tedious and annoying to do so). Or maybe make the wood pecker workers come in if you pay a large sum of money. Just don't let things come too easily.
I wouldn't give the player the ability to design the layout of your town straight off. I like how they are doing it now, giving you four randomly generated towns to choose from. Ultimate control gets old. The aspect of not knowing what your gonna get adds some excitement to the game, you don't know who will be in your town, what your town's layout will look like. I like how they do it in New Horizons, not letting you change the layout at first and having you build around the town layout as it is, and letting you have more freedom to change some of the layout in the future (adding pathways, waterfalls, cliffs, etc.). You don't instantly have all the power, you have to earn it
The reason the shops do this in AC is since thats how real life works. AC is designed to 'mimic' real life. Its a home away from home, it takes some elements of what we see in our everyday life, and makes it more peaceful. The reason theres a lot of waiting involved in AC is since thats what real life is like. Waiting. If we could have whatever we wanted instantaneously, life would get kinda boring. Theres nothing to look forward too, we've seen it and done it all already. When something new comes out, there needs to be a buildup of hype for us to get excited, and when we have what we were so excited for, we need to be able to savor it, enjoy it. Rushing through something takes joy out of it.
Lets say you got pizza. If you scarf the whole pizza down in one bite and swallow immediately, that wouldn't be enjoying the pizza right? You just rushed through eating the pizza, and didn't stop to enjoy the taste of it, or eat it slice by slice, enjoying each slice for its different toppings
EDIT: in hindsight after playing lots of new horizons, yeahhhhh the ability to terraform your island got weirdly overwhelming? Its hard to put into words but it just started to lean into that feeling of it almost being like you too much control. This is a guess, but I feel like thats why so many people decided they wanted to reset their islands after a few months of the game ‘s release. It just got too old and too fast. I guess there’s something to be said for pacing in how much options for activities a player may be presented with at any given time. The player needs to be presented with enough ideas to be motivated to play the game, but also not too much control to the point where it almost seems unpleasant to have to decide on what massive amount of work you will tackle first. But the activities still need to be shaken up mixed around for different seasons and months every now and then to keep them from going stale. If that makes sense? Also for the love of god release a game at launch thats already worth $60. Nintendo really released an unfinished game and said “we’ll finish it later”.
I do like your idea for tweaking the seasonal areas, but let’s say that you haven’t experienced the season? I think that the areas would be unlocked by experiencing the seasons in your town, not just right off the bat. I think that once you unlock say, the crow’s farm, you would be able to visit the farm in the spring and fall, not just fall. When you first visit the farm, you should get gifted a small plot of land for yourself and then be able to take care of your plants until winter arrives. When winter arrives you leave your garden to be taken care of by the crows, who would be finishing up harvesting their crops for the fall. When you come back in the spring, you’ll see that the crows are starting to plant their crops and that your garden is just how it was when you left it. It does kinda take away the entire “its always fall here” idea, but it kinda gives the area a bit more of a real life vibe. You would still be able to catch fall-exclusive bugs, but the crows would do something different depending on which season you’re in.
I do agree with you except for the seasonal island thing. how you put it makes it sound like the winter area is open in winter, which is a bit redundant. it would remove the point of the sesonal areas. like what another commenter said you should unlock each one by doing mayor tasks for different npcs
@@endermangames1112 Another fix to the redundacy is you only have the opposite season area available. They become vacation destinations. Over the winter you visit summery islands, but in the summer you head up to the wintery mountains.
@@liamwhite3522 that would be a lot better
Yeah he was really aggressive towards the game
Jello: complains about unnecessary waiting in a game
Also jello: MONSTER LEGENDS HELL YEAH WAIT 24 HOURS TO HATCH AN EGG! 36 HOURS FOR HABITAT TO BE BUILT. PLAY MONSTER LEGENDS NOW
you can tell he got a lot of money from his sponsor lol
Phage To be fair ML is a mobile game to make money to speed time while AC is a game that he already bought, he want to play the game.
Eren Yeager just don’t buy games that you don’t like the mechanics of?
@@eggsintheface8272 I wish people thought like this. None of this microtransaction bs we have in most of our AAA games today would exist if people could do this one simple thing.
I mean that's a free to start game. He even mentions that in this video. A free mobile game that leeches money that way is one thing, but those same practices shouldn't be in a $60 game. And at least with the mobile game you technically CAN speed it up.
25:31 It actually *is* the localization. After the Gamecube the series went towards direct translations of the Japanese text.
I think he means if it was a bad localization, but by the sound of it, it's not especially exciting in Japanese either.
I’ve never heard his normal voice because I have only seen him “ so basically this is” episodes
I actually liked having to wait a day. It gave me something to look forward to, motivation to get through the day. Animal Crossing isn't a game you complete, but one you enjoy. Too much control would suck out the fun of playing.
Roni Finn I agree :0 it’s like when you overuse a cheat code in the sims 4 that gets you a bunch of money-
That's kinda why I was a bit bent on when I first heard you had more control in horizons
But now I kinda appreciate it cuz we can finally choose who goes where
Great! Becuse all those controlling options as he says it are options you don’t need to do it if you don’t want to
@@Moved936 giving people the option and forcing them to choose not to use it takes away from the immersion. Games should be made in a way where players don't need to design the game themselves, they should just be given a game which is focused on a specific type of gameplay.
Best part of all this: the new NPCs you made. I love them. I want them. Also, after watching this video, if someone wanted just a collecting game with tasks to stay busy, I would not recommend animal crossing.
@prickly pear Ikr She's so cute
Yeah
Is there a frickin' game that has the same styling aesthetic for houses, characters, and a town that Jello describes? That's the only part of Animal Crossing I like.
Oh my god, dude, I want that Moth villager SO BAD!!!
@@NightWink129 yeah, stardew valley, a bear leaves you a note asking for maple syrup. And it talks. Jello basically described Started Valley with a couple of quality of life improvements.
I personally enjoy the way it works in real time. It found me saying, “I can’t wait to log in tomorrow because xxx will have moved in!”, or, “I’m excited to see xxx when I wake up!” Which had me looking forward to the next day, almost every day. Having things immediate would kill that, and to me that’s a big part of why I love the game. (Although I think this might just me as time travel is really popular.)
I feel like having all the seasons be available at once removes some of animal crossings charm though
I saw someone else say it would have to be unlocked first through a mayor task or somehow else, and it couldn’t be unlocked until you reached that season first. So it keeps you excited to look forward to new seasons, but not feel worried about missing something in a previous one
@@Str8UpFax That's sounds cool to me, most of this video is just having stuff straight from the start which would ruin the game
@@Lay_Dax "don't use the mechanics you don't like" is bad game design. A game is supposed to deliver a specific experience to you, not force you to design the game for yourself.
@@Lay_Dax minecraft delivers a specific experience, which is digging up blocks and building stuff with it.
One of the most criticized parts of minecraft is how it added too much "story" and distracted from the sanbox. That's why people go back and play older versions of minecraft.
altough i disagree with the whole time travel thingy he suggested, i do like the different seasonal locations!
but i don't like them beign RIGHT NEXT TO YOUR TOWN, it feels weird and unnatural, maybe they can be distant lactions that dodo airlines can fly to? also i would like them to be there not only for you to just collect bugs and furniture, maybe the snow land can be like a place to hang out in and drink some hot chocolate with friends and do some snowy activities! just some of my ideas!

I love how jello and Doug doug have opposing opinions on animal crossings wait times
Jellos all "why are you making me play less of your game, thats a terrible idea" while Doug Doug is all "the fact that the game limits you is nice and relaxing like a coffee"
Who's Doug?
Because Jello just doesn't understand this series. He thinks it's a collectathon game where the purpose is to get everything as quickly as possible and then quit the game.
He fundamentally just doesn't know what this series is about.
One thought I had for spicing up the villagers a little was, each "personality" is basically a flag that says "draw dialogue from this table," so do the same thing for species. A frog and a bear are by their very natures going to care about some different things. So any given villager has two "personality" tables to draw from and the intersection makes a cranky wolf distinct from a cranky rhinoceros in the same way he's always been distinct from a normal wolf, but also, he has some new common ground with the normal wolf, and now everyone's whole dynamic is different from one relatively simple change.
Plus, you know, bring back the attitude you mentioned. Also, I think the characters just plain had more actual dialog in the older games.
"Also, no more trash, i'm sick of catching trash"
so he did not read about the beautiful town ordinance in new leaf...
Almost like you had to manually select and pay for the option to remove rubbish, forgoing a different town ordinance in the process.
Yeah, there is the beautiful town ordinance in New Leaf but if I remember correctly, you can only have one active at a time. That means you have to choose whether you want no trash or something else entirely
You'll get trash and you'll like it!
It sounds like he played New Leaf for like five days at most, so no probably not.
Getting rid of trash is a game mechanic, not a punishment. I mail the trash to the least likable villager... problem solved.
“Nookmazon” was so close to what we actually got
20:56
Oh my god, I love the moth wearing glasses to look like a bird!
The point of waiting in animal crossing is to have something to look forward to the next day.
exactly
I don’t have time to play the game tomorrow, and I don’t want to return to a town filled with weeds when I have time again
@@sineadthomas2024 then enact the beautiful town ordinance so weeds don't grow. that's what i do
People are different with different philosophies and lives
@Sinead Thomas well, for a lot of people (including myself a lot of the time) there isn’t anything to look forward to the next day. and yes, the town might be messy when you come back if you’re gone for a while, but at least it’s something to do
"Animal crossing is a 15 hour game disguised as a 60 hour game"
Animal Crossing is neither of those things. Animal Crossing is a life you live.
I laugh at the fact he thinks that animal crossing could be played in fifteen hours. haha...fool...*my town is 5 years old and I am still not finished with this game*
Yeah I laughed at that. 60 hours? Ha aha Hahahaha

Gosh darnit, you're really good at this, between the pokemon one and this I feel like you should be making games... like the different seasonal areas is something that New Horizons could do so easily with the islands. and yet they don't. they added a lot more inventory space... and a new currency based around "Quests" if you can call them that... but I genuinely think that your ideas are something this game series desperately needs
also moth girl is absolutely adorable and we all need her in our lives.
First like 6 minutes of the game is New Horizons and yet he STILL managed to make it better less than halfway in.
I was streaming Animal Crossing just yesterday, and I actually went on a rant about how the art section of the museum sucks so badly because it's all luck-based. Having a guaranteed way to get art pieces without making sure they're not just recreations would be SO much more convenient. I've never been able to finish the whole museum in any game just because I have terrible luck when it comes to finding art.
Edit: All y'all saying it's not luck-based in New Leaf are forgetting that you still have to wait for new art to show up in Redd's tent. Duplicate real pieces can even show up after you've found one for the museum. So yes it's always been luck-based. Please stop.
Its not luck based in New Leaf. The fake art has subtle differences from the real ones.
I had to use TH-cam to decipher which ones were fake when it came to 'Animal Crossing New Leaf' for the 3ds. Sometimes I didn't have my phone when Redd came around because it was missing. *sighs*
Yea, I bought a fake painting, I’m keeping it in my house >:(
Hello
_(Oh huh, it's Courtney. Fancy meeting you here.)_
I've never played an Animal Crossing game, so I can only imagine the pain of doing that.
Here’s the thing, the whole “wait a day” thing I actually really like. Why? Because it taught patience. Something we all need to learn.
I have ADHD, and when I was little I couldn’t sit still at all. When I got Wild world, (which I adored) it taught me what it means to be patient and how to cool down when I get frustrated. People today get too heated too quickly, if games like animal crossing can teach kids patience, then I see it all the more important to keep it in the game.
Pikaphin333 this. on top of what you said it feels like this guy dont know how fun it is to wait for thing that you'll know that's gonna be great
I have ADHD too. However, I want an hour or two to wait, not a day or more. That's excessive.
F u r r e t perhaps a day can be a lot, maybe a couple hours would do better as compromise? Though I have to say construction does takes a long time to do. By animal crossing standards they must have freakin’ miracle workers with how fast they build.
Same I love a lot of his ideas but I like the slow base concept of ac like in his game I could beat the game in a week
panget pampam clearly not everyone thinks so and waiting for things isn’t for everyone. Being antsy or not patient shouldn’t be an excuse to not be able to enjoy a game. If u don’t want to use these features I’d imagine you could just choose not to or if Nintendo did this they would/should have an option to turn some features off
“Any mechanic that makes a player play less of your game is a bad mechanic”
World of Warcraft's resting mechanic is great for player health
You could make a "lets make a ____ game" video about LITERALLY any game and I'd watch it millions of times! PLEASE make more of these, there so entertaining!!
don't personally agree with everything (it's a life sim game, life isn't always convenient and things don't happen instantly) but good video with some interesting concepts! The seasonal areas are really cute & even if i'm not crazy about all the time travel shenanigans the time travel dragon is a super cute concept, I want a sleepy dragon friend in my town
Yeah he totally misses the vibe of animal crossing ...it's supp to be a slow but worthwhile build up. Relaxing and a slower paced peaceful game....it seems to want to turn it into a speed run from hell.
@@packers12to80 True, though I complete agree with his qol opinions, especially the dreaded inventory space problems.
@@deepsavings3126 yeah it seems new horizons has alot more. But in new leaf at that certain point we did get that additonal storage that was a ton of space . So that in new leaf makes me feel like horizon is gonna have something similar we will have plenty of space
@@deepsavings3126 1 thing I don't think I've seen yet in any commercials ....rem in new leaf how we could make our own 4 rooms in the museum . I wonder if we will have that same option in new horizons
also the moth. moth sounds rlly cool fr
There actually is a reason to make the player wait a day to finish a building, and it's to avoid players to play compulsively the game, to keep its relaxed atmosphere
Exactly! And for the mayoral stuff in NL it seemed like a fun poke at bureaucratic red tape and permits.
I think what he’s saying is that people time travel anyway, so why not just make that a mechanic
It's not fun for some types of players so they're should be a option to avoid this in the game
well, its "compulsively" frustrating to be reminded every time I want to play that I have to wait a week before I can play.
@@kolskullkid140 bruh, it's super easy to just go and change the time, it takes you like 3 minutes in new leaf and less than 1 in the new one. I perfectly understand wanting to skip time, but that doesn't mean it should be implemented in the own game
I think Animal Crossing is mostly made with kids that have time to play after school every day in mind.
Okay so, about the "Time travel is for impatient people."
News flash: Everyone has their own playing style. (Especially in games like animal crossing)
While it may not be intended, I personally love decorating my town and I don't have the time to sink multiple days to move my museum one square to the right. I'm not saying that you should get everything day 1, but you shouldn't punish people for not playing the game perfectly or how you like it. Creativity can't flourish if you punish them for trying to do something diffrent.
Thank you for saying that
I’d like too see villagers talk about others moving away and being sad about them leaving
eeveegaming4798 i would love this feature, it shows that they actually have personal feelings rather than spouting out random junk every time they talk to you
They do this in new leaf (not sure about the other games) but most of the time its the only way i even know villagers are moving
they usually get worried about the villager and talk about them/ask you to go talk to them
They do in acnh
A moth pretending to be an owl so she doesn’t scare the entomophobic owl she wants to be friends with is such an incredibly cute concept, and I’m kinda mad Animal Crossing doesn’t have that kind of character depth.
While I know that a lot of these mechanics kinda go against what makes Animal Crossing unique, I also really love them? The artwork in this is SO cute as well; I absolutely LOVE the characters you've come up with. I literally cannot stop thinking about the moth-disguised-as-an-owl character.
TLDR: please make Crossroads a real game, jello. Please make it for us. 😭😍
“Animal Crossing would be good if we took out the one thing that makes it distinct from any other life simulation game!”
Idk man animal crossing seems more for folks with a lot of patience, it's a different world taking things slow and steady without worrying about anything.
Sure I have a bill but I don't have to pay it by a certain time, I pay it to get to the next level of my home and whenever I feel like it
skeletons in scarves that’s a good point
the way I understand it, you could just not sleep or wake up winkle, so we can all be happy :)
Well, if you have the ability to Time Travel, it might as well take less than 15 minutes of menuing
I've kinda left the game for a long time. Because I've found it really boring now.
There are those who are patient, and there are those who time travel and are scorned by the patient.
animal crossing is basically just taking care of tons of children while also taking care of everything else you just made and destroying the ecosystem is also reasonable and completely okay to everyone living in the animal crossing world
i always feel so bad when catching all the insects in my town!! smth in the back of my head tells me they arent going to respawn
@@sophiehelena6737 They aint dying though :3
So basically colonial America.
Maui Randall yeah basically
@@mauirandall8176 i remember that history lesson differently
I love moths, I used to be terrified of them before I confronted death due to the fact that a giant moth landed on my face in a dark room, but now I see them as little fluffy bois.
