City
From Animal Crossing City
The city is mentioned in Animal Crossing: Wild World, and features in Animal Crossing: City Folk. It is not specified if the cities spoken of are the same, but it would appear logical for them to be so.
[edit] The City in Wild World
The city is mentioned by many characters in Wild World;
- Tom Nook - He speaks of his unsuccessful career in the city and his return to the Player's town.
- Blathers - Blathers was brought up in the city, but moved to the countryside to curate the Museum after completing part of his degree.
- Gracie - She frequently talks of the comparative lack of style in the country compared to the city.
- Brewster - Brewster used to own an unsuccessful coffee shop in the city, before meeting Blathers and being invited to the museum.
- Harriet - In Animal Crossing: Wild World, Harriet states "I've got to remember I don't own a salon in the city anymore."
Cranky villagers will sometimes ask the Player if they were brought up in the city, while it would appear that the Player moved from the suburbs of a city, as hinted by their mother's letters.
[edit] The City in City Folk
The city in City Folk is accessible by bus from town, and features many shops and buildings, including a Theater, the Shampoodle, an Auction House, and GracieGrace. The city may also host events, and is home to various citizens. Characters such as Crazy Redd, Katrina, and Dr. Shrunk all have their own buildings, in contrast to having to visit your town in previous games. Regular villagers that are in your town or not will always be wandering around the city. On a stoop on the right side of the city, there is a skunk named Kicks that will shine the player's shoes for 500 bells. In some occasions, the first shoe shining is free. There is access to Resetti's house in the right side of the city. On sunny days occasionally a sea lion named Phineas will appear next to the fountain near the Marquee, with a carnival theme about him. He will give the player unique items such as pinwheels and balloons. In the city, depending on the time, villagers can be found there, you may even find someone from your town that has moved, but they won't remember the player and will have their official catchphrase and outfit. Some people might even tell you there is a secret room above the Marquee.
The bus won't come when you are in another town, have a friend over, or have a snowball in its path. Therefore, if you do not do all your city business before playing with a friend, you wll only be able to access the city once the gate shuts.
For some reason the mood of the character does not affect the way they talk. The mood obviously seems to be the same. You can even here two people talking about the same thing.
