Today (November 16th) is the 8th anniversary of Animal Crossing: City Folk’s release. And since I purchased the game on the first day, it’s also the 8th anniversary of Forest. Of course, that means it’s also been eight years since a proper Animal Crossing game was released on a home console, but I digress.
I found my favorite villager Savannah in her house tonight, sick with a cold. So I bought some medicine for her. Get well soon, Savannah!
I met up with Bluebear outside, and she told me that she decided to become a mermaid! Her story sounded a bit fishy, but she wanted me to catch her a barred knifejaw so she could become queen of the ocean. I don’t think that’s how that works…
Opal asked me for a new catchphrase, and I told her to say “oh pal.” Whether you dig it or not, I think it’s a gem. 😉
I spotted a balloon present tonight, so I got out my slingshot and shot it down. I thought it would be fitting if it would somehow be an appropriate anniversary gift. But it was just a neutral corner. Not exactly what I hoped for…but it does have a bit of a ring to it.
Anyway, I hope you all had a good City Folk anniversary! If you’d like to re-live my first moments in Forest, here’s a video showing the very beginnings of Forest.
Or for a list of all my ACCF videos (all 117 of them), here is the full playlist. If you’re wondering, I will make my annual slideshow video, but it’s not ready yet. So stay tuned for that.
Have a great day, and I’ll see you all next time!
Tonight, over in front of town hall, I found a mouse in a bag! And not just any bag, but a bag of fireworks! But don’t worry, he wasn’t in pain or anything. In fact, he was having a blast.
I met up with Benedict over by the waterfall, and he was talking about crickets. He said they’re so cute, he almost wants to eat them! Yikes!
But then he said he was just imitating Nat the Bug-Off judge. I’m not so sure, though. He is a chicken, after all…
When I returned to Tank, he rewarded me with a rose wall.
While walking around town tonight, I spotted Pascal from across the river. I’m not used to seeing him from this angle!
I grabbed a scallop that was attached to a letter, and then went over to talk to him on the bridge. He scoffed at the notion of people going camping, suggesting they could just hang out in their garage for a weekend. He then gave me a keg, jumped into the river, and swam out of my life.
Anyway, now that November is here, you can find mushrooms scattered around town. Each day, one of them will actually be a piece of mush furniture in disguise.
Some of the mushrooms will be quite valuable. I found an elegant mushroom (worth 10,000 bells), as well as this rare mushroom (worth 16,000 bells) that was buried underground! The rare mushrooms will only appear if you have achieved perfect town status, though.
I found a new house in town, and it belongs to Opal the green elephant. Her mouth is on the side of her face (much like Dizzy).
Back outside, Rod asked me for a new greeting. I told him to say “Oh my Rod!”
When I visited Savannah, she asked me to catch a pill bug for her. I agreed to help, but it ended up taking me longer than I anticipated. I had to run all over town multiple times, banging every rock I could find. But eventually, I found her precious pill bug and took it back to her. She thanked me by giving me a kiddie carpet.
