Autumn Moon 2018

Tonight was the night of the autumn moon (better known as the harvest moon). Isabelle was at the event plaza to hand out wheat bundles for the occasion.

Isabelle: To celebrate Autumn Moon tonight, I prepared wheat bundles for everyone. Would you like one?

When I spoke to her again, she said she’d like to snuggle the moon every night if it was a great big pillow. It’s not a great big pillow, Isabelle, but your imagination rocks.

Isabelle: If the moon were like a great big pillow, I'd pull it down here and snuggle it every night before bed.

There was also a faceboard up for the occasion, so I stuck my face through the hole and became a scarecrow. You can also see the moon behind me.

Jeff uses the face-cutout standee for the autumn moon in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

Villagers in town were also talking about the moon. My favorite moon quote of the night was Lolly’s, when she said she wanted to put a few drops of moonlight in a jar for later.

Lolly: The moon is gorgeous tonight, isn't it? I wish I could put a few drops of its light in a jar for later.

There was one other moon-related note I want to share, but this one is apparently just a big coincidence. T&T Emporium had a spotlight item today, and it happened to be…the moon!

=Breaking News!= Thanks to clever business sense, we've received a very fine moon! It won't last, so don't delay! -Timothy and Thomas

My recent dream visitors have been Pokey from Hontas, GFC from M, and Louie from Louivill. Lolly also mentioned dreaming of Brandon from Toadtown. Thanks for stopping by, and have a good night (or day)!

  1. Is there any particular feature you’d like to see added, or even brought back, for the new Switch game? At the very least, I’d like the game to go back to having designated spaces for neighbors’ houses (indicated by signposts in the original game up to City Folk); only player characters can put their house practically anywhere and everywhere. So many (and not just with me in my town) flowers and fruit trees lost to someone deciding to build over them, so many perfect locations for PWPs becoming “reserved for whoever’s new home” before Lloid could set up there.

    1. There are lots of things I’d like to see, and I probably couldn’t think of them all right now if I tried. 😛 One no-brainer is USB keyboard support for in-game chatting. Since Switch already supports USB keyboards, this shouldn’t be a problem.

      Another idea I’ve had is for the players to take on a fossil-identifying job or class. Once you do well enough at the job (or complete the course), you’d be able to identify fossils as soon as you dig them up without having to take them to Blathers.

      As for returning things, I’d love to see a new version of the sports fair…but with fully playable mini-games. And the shopping card needs to come back too.

      1. I’d like the outdoor gyroid back; or at least a better way to exchange items with other players besides mailing, “littering”, and Re-Tail. No one else uses my 3DS, but I have a second character for extra storage like you have Booker.
