How are people so advanced in this game already? I started playing on Saturday and I just got my house built and some random furniture put together and the medium quality tools unlocked and I can't do much else because every day I clear out my island of fruit, wood and stone and then just...go around fishing and collecting shells until resources respawn the next day

Click to shrink...

People are time travelling. Which, hey, is perfectly fine, but I always liked putting the game down for the day and waiting in real time to see what tomorrow brings after I get some sleep.

 

[Courage]

Loving all the music themed stuff I've been getting

 

[Hours Left]

Ya'll got some kick-ass villagers.

I got stuck with Bam, who's bearable, but also Mira, whose color scheme makes me want to claw my eyes out, cottontail.

Click to shrink...

Mira is fabulous. I want more space ranger villagers.

So all I need is a Stringfish now.

When you say "Clifftop", does that mean it only appears in the lakes at the top layer of town?

 

[Mediking]

Harvey has to be the most adorable NPC in the whole game

 

[ned_ballad]

Sturgeon and Stringfish are what I have left to get

So I guess I'm grinding clams for bait

I might go to your village and steal her, I love that design.

 

[Mars People]

So I have three different villiagers I met on random islands who want to move in.
But I understand I have to wait for Nook's shop to finish building before anything happens.
Is that right?

 

[Wamb0wneD]

Guys when does Nook tell you to find spots for residents? I've been to thre islands and invited all of them, and Nook hasn't mentioned any of it a single time.

My guess would be any cliff. But the list is from Gamespot so I really don't know. I just copied and pasted from the link provided.

 

[belairjeff]

Has anyone had any luck catching the String Fish?

 

[Misuta]

I can't decide if should buy New Horizon or not. I played the Gamecube and the Wii titles before but dropped them after a few months. Is the Switch title better than the two?

It doesn't have to be the top layer, but it does have to be a raised one accessible only by ladder/ramp. I got my Stringfish by the waterfall leading to the top layer.

Ugh building houses for my 3 new villagers is tedious

this dope moved into my town today:

That's right. Then he will give you chores to help you construct homes for the new residents.

I stuck all of mine in the same area and instantly regretted it, gonna be moving these fools when I can.

 

[julian]

Somebody is going to make a graduate study out of "Animal Crossing and the Global Pandemic".

 

[Boogiepop]

Umm, so, built the museum, and what the heck? Did they seriously

Spoiler

remove both swimming/diving AND paintings? Because there don't seem to be spots for either.

The museum is beautiful and I'm liking a lot of what they've done with the game, but if that's the case, that really sucks.

I love the weird alternate species neighbors

If I had my way, my town would be robots, unicorns, dragons and woolly mammoths

At least I have Julian's amiibo card, so he'll be in my town eventually

 

[Busaiku]

So I'm making homes for Nook now?
While still paying him for mine?

 

[shiba5]

I think you get a QR code maker thing later on.

Click to shrink...

Sheesh, why not give it out when you get the custom design maker? Some weird decisions.

 

[BowieZ]

I might go to your village and steal her, I love that design.

Click to shrink...

Honestly I had no idea that you could invite actual NPCs to your town. I've been trying to limit spoilers/my game knowledge somewhat.

But yeah you're welcome to pop 'round whenever.

 

[Deleted member 44371]

is it possible to visit random islands without nintendo online?

Cherry is the best villager

 

[Angeal78]

Were you still after somewhere to go?

Click to shrink...

Currently not playing but I can add you and we can play when we are online, Im still looking for islands on southern hemisphere.

 

[Meatfist]

Thank god you can mass donate once the full museum is built, I had mountains of shit in anticipation and was preparing to strangle Blathers this morning but it wasn't bad at all

 

[Chrno]

are the turnip prices change in local time? And what is it? 8am and 11am?

 

[LossAversion]

I'm loving the way this game plays out in real time. I'm excited to see my progress advance every morning and I love that I can watch the sunset when the sun is setting in the real world or I can go night fishing before I go to bed.

 

[Semajer]

But... its not lol. I have been on a few tours but got lucky with foreign fruit.

Click to shrink...

I've gone to an island with pears when I have oranges and a couple with bamboo. It's very rare though, yeah.

Click to shrink...

Its not. My cousin has cherries and he landed on an island with TONS of apple trees.

Click to shrink...

And I can tell you with absolute certainty that its just a super low chance :P Funny how absolute certainty works.

Click to shrink...

I think I've been on roughly ~25 tours, and I've run into 2 with foreign fruit (oranges; I have apples), and 2 with bamboo trees/shoots. No other novelty islands yet though (money, tarantulas, etc.).

Click to shrink...

There's a lot of deluded people in this thread.

 

[Muffin Awesome]

Fire Emblem is a deep game that I really wanted to dig into when I played it. Animal Crossing and that can both swallow your soul, so not sure how many souls you have left to share during a single day :p Ace Attorney and RE seem like fine additions from which to relax on your island.

Click to shrink...

As someone who has beaten 2 routes in FE, 110+ hours, and recently put down AA after finishing first 4 cases in about 5 hours, and just started AC:NH, I'd say no you can't do all 3 at once.

I'd recommend picking one and sticking with it. FE and AC both just flow really well so I'd prepare for a 50+ hour play of each for the next few weeks or month. I mean if you have like 12+ hours a day to burn maybe, but if you're still working 8 hours per day (not guaranteed in this world atm) then I'd say pick one.

You could probably juggle AA with one of them too, but imo I'd just do FE or AC, then save the other for later.

You could play AC now, play for a few weeks, then start a FE route and focus on that with playing AC on the side once you've accomplished most of what you want and just doing daily activities.

Overall you're probably looking at 50 hours min for each FE run, maybe a little less each successive run, but 150+ hours for all 3 main, 200 if you do all 4 (tho if you save at the right time in BE you can cut the fourth run down in time) and AC would likely be 100-200 hours YMMV

Click to shrink...

Thank you both, will I miss anything jumping into AC so late though? Couple months down the line?

Aren't there daily challenges, what are the legs on these games, will the online/connectivity content be lost?

Just need stringfish, thanks

If anyone wants to add me as a friend I'd be grateful.
Could do with more islands to visit. (and more friends)
Kinda bored while waiting for plot things to advance.

Anyone have tips for planting trees. Planted a Grove, all one apart and only half of them have grown

You have to put them farther apart until they are full grown

 

[nopressure]

Day 3: Not impressed. Blather's museum is going to take another day to be built. Sorted everything for the 3 new villagers to start appearing, seems like today's gonna be more chilled out. Got the 3rd loan to pay off, but I might take it easy for this one.

I think I'm going to remap the whole of my island in the long term. If I ever find a way of earning bells quickly.

Just got the fully upgraded museum...may be my favorite interior location in any game. It's a treat.

 

[Tophat Jones]

An update to this: Not sure what new furniture Nook gives player one. But this morning our Nook's Cranny opened and I was able to buy a DIY kit from the brothers for ~2000 that had the chair swing, wooden stereo, bookshelf, etc. Is that the furniture in question here?

Click to shrink...

JK player 1 got WAY more stuff.

😞

I have never played an Animal Crossing game before and I have some questions about multiple users on the same Switch. I've heard there was some funky business with that.

I've read that you only get one island per Switch. Does that mean that one person's actions carry over to the other user? If I built a house (?) on a spot, does that mean that house will also exist there for the other user?

 

[RedMercury]

What does the "Jaws" sound mean? I got it twice tonight and had no clue what to do. Also I got tarantula island so that was cool.

Click to shrink...

Anyone? It's strings, it sounds like the jaws theme. It sounds ominous

 

[Strat]

Truly amazed how many people seem to need their hands held for this game.

 

[ghibli99]

It's funny... I'm enjoying taking my time, but then I'll take a quick peek in here or see what my friends are doing, see all their stuff, and I'm like, "HOW?" LOL

The first person on the island is "in charge" after that any other accounts on your Switch will share their island but will be limited in what they can do.

It's dumb, yes.
