Animal Crossing is now Lillian's favorite game by miles. All the fun of running around picking up things in forests from Zelda, none of the scary goblins, and very forgiving of players basically new to video games. (Limited simultaneous input manipulation required, etc.)

On a less joking level, isn't it just a brilliant game design to invert the standard "Accumulate X resources to unlock Y content" progression treadmill? "Here's Y. You now owe us X resources. If you pay off this Y, which you'll feel invested in, more gifts more loans!"

That might be the most brilliant game design decision since WoW replaced their fatigue meter (50% penalty to XP gain after you play for a while) with the rested meter (100% bonus to XP gain for a limited time after you play for a while; double all XP costs).

*gain for a limited time, resets after you *don't* play for a while Anyhow: same mechanic, different framing, *entirely different* player response due to psychology. "Rest doesn't punish hardcore people for playing like fatigue did, it's just giving casuals a bit of a boost!"

Anyone who thinks Tom Nook--with his interest-free no-repayment-schedule mortgages--is a capitalist monster has never tried to get a real mortgage.

He’s laundering money. Who pays 1,500 bells for 3 “oranges”?

Nook exploiting our labor kind of ruined it for me. At some point he asks you to help sell plots for new residents. You finally go to him to do that, and he charges you a fee to buy the kit to setup the new plot… but don’t worry, he gives you 1,000 miles when he sells it. Ugh

It's a trick. Tanuki are tricksters.
