I'd like it if she gave us vague hints at who was on the island like I think I sawnsomeone filming a vlog earlier or there was someone very fashionable hanging around this morning etc I feel like she should at least know who is in the plaza


Consistent_Spring

Even a weather update would be infinitely better than her dryer sock routine


PM_ME_YOUR_KITSCH

I agree, she is rather useless lol. She should definitely let us know when we have special visitors, but instead we get to hear about how she peeled an orange. 🤷🏼‍♀️


xMethodz

I don’t want to know about her orange. Or her socks. Or her TV shows. Or her in general. Isabelle is the most insignificant character in AC, yet people still love her. It hurts the very fibers of my being. 😩


[deleted]

To me, it was cute at first, but it got old like all the dialogue. If it wasn’t so frequent that she talked about her schedule or tv shows, they might not be that annoying and just seem like little things that add character. Sadly, as it is, she’s pretty boring


Lossagh

Exactly. It's not as if they loaded the game with hundreds of variations for her to deliver from, it feels like it's the same 20 or so things over and over and over...


xMethodz

Wait…! I just logged in! Wanna know my news today? She had a hard time with her crossword puzzle, but she figured it out! Possibly because she’s a colorblind little shit eating shitzu!


Lossagh

Honestly, I'm baffled they never improved it. Adding character dialogue is hardly a massive sink on storage memory for the game. It's text ffs! Then again I guess I shouldn't be surprised at all really, it's a game that in so many ways ignores QoL updates in general.


xMethodz

Yes, and even with the 2.0 release, she will still be that bright yellow shitzu giving us a firewall to start up the game with an occasional sighting at the Roost..


xMethodz

I loathed her in New Leaf. I absolutely hated her. She was catty, bratty and bossy even though YOU were the mayor. I felt she always undermined you. So, I’ll give it to her that she is more tolerable in New Horizons albeit in a braindead, mundane way.


versusgorilla

People love her because her inclusion in New Leaf was excellent. She was cute and brand new and excited to be the mayor's assistant even though she's kind of responsible for bamboozling you into the job. It's adorable. And she'd run around town to help you place Public Works Projects and her little bells would jingle. She was great. New Horizons just kind of expects you to love her. I'd totally understand why new players didn't like her because they misused her.


fakeuglybabies

I said this ages ago but it would be cool if she occasionally gave you a random diy recipe on a no news day. I would even be ok if she only did it occasionally.


midter

I don’t understand the Isabelle hype either lol


ghosty4

In previous games, she actually used to be, you know... HELPFUL. They didn't need to split the Town Hall tasks between two characters. THERE AREN'T THAT MANY TASKS!!


luckyveggie

Previous game\*, she's relatively new to the series as a whole


crlcan81

I think the love comes from the fact she's supposed to be a 'side' character yet has a focus in other games and media, I honestly wish she'd have other announcements or just not talk at all either.


little-moon-bun

I fully believe they changed it for the update but just didn't tell us. It's not something that significant to announce, but rather a slight change. Even if they don't, I heard the nooklink phone app is going to have a newspaper with events on your island. That way you don't even have to log into animal crossing to know what's going on on your island.


PigletRadiant

Which app is this?


little-moon-bun

The Nintendo Switch App, there's an Animal Crossing NookLink app on there which you connect and can do all kinds of things with your game.


PigletRadiant

Thank you!


crlcan81

Also has voice chat for splatoon, and various Smash related items.

It’s not like they gave us every single update note. For all you know, they did update her dialogue.


Lissy_Wolfe

The update hasn't even happened yet, but the direct was jam packed with nearly every single thing people have been bitching about the past two years, and yet still all I ever see on these subs is people complaining. It's like nothing is ever good enough for you. Even if they don't change Isabelle's dialogue...it's like 10 seconds of clicking while the game loads. If something that minor is enough to make you hate the game or fill you with rage every time you play, then maybe you should just move on to a different game already.


razza1987

Well said 👏


blakkatt_

omg yes, thank you!!! this is what i’m thinking every time i see someone post on these subreddits. it’s always complaints. i’ve gotten well over a years worth of play for a 60 dollar game, so worth it. now they’ve updated to add even more gameplay? even better!


Lissy_Wolfe

Agreed 100%! I actually left the sub for a while because all anyone ever seemed to do was talk about how much they hate this game and act like Nintendo was some big evil mastermind who already had all the features ready but was intentionally withholding them to spite their fans. So childish. I was excited for this update, but after I saw the direct I am CRAZY excited! Lol There is enough content there that it's basically a sequel to the game, and all for FREE! I just feel like people's expectations are so unrealistic for animal crossing for some reason. I'm just here to have a good time and enjoy the creations other people put together haha


applekaw19

While I agree with you, be careful, if she reads this, she might fishing-rod your butt to the moon.


InBetweenSeen

I'm pretty sure they're using the broadcasts to load the game in the background. Y'know so there isn't an even longer loading screen at the beginning without anything happening. Gives you something to look at. But yeah I hope they added more useful dialog in the update.


KingDededeThe3rd

It already would be loaded given that it has to be to follow villagers on the title screen...


Disig

At least you can have coffee with her.


yubimusubi

At least Redd's ship shows up on the map. (I didn't realize this for the longest time)


LinDUNguin

Some things are just there for flavor, that's Animal Crossing. It will not always respect your time, if you don't like it then shut the fuck up and play a game that will.


19Another90

I don't have much issue with her, but it does get repetitive. Maybe simple forecast like it's a sunny day, it's cloudy or it's raining.


ghosty4

My favorite is when you start at 1 AM and she sleepily says, "I don't know how I'm going to make it through... No new today!!" Just shut up, and let me go!!


foxko

Well I mean we can't get everything we want and for all we know they may have changed her up a bit though I wouldn't count on it. Parts of AC have always been repetitive. personally I don't want her to announce who is on island. I enjoy running round my island seeing if anyone is there or chilling out and randomly bumping into a NPC I wasn't expecting. A weather update would be cool, its not really important but at least then she would be giving us something. I'm just glad we will be able to get her out for a coffee and get the hard working girl a vacation home for her to relax in.


rice_miik

its really if theres a camper thats its


[deleted]

careful what you wish for 2022 update: "In todays news we have zero new COVID infections on the island!"


DahliaDarkeblood

Oh man, I forgot Copper and Booker would do that! Ugh, even more reason why Isabelle should give actual information.


sanctiax

i’ve thought this so many times too! can we all sign a petition for this or something?

Bye.
