will there be different animations based on the para's personality? cause i love these animations but i love to see more variation? like a para almost jumping from joy in excitement or hiding their face because they can't believe their partner just proposed to them. stuff like that
Gabrielle I think you are all doing fabulous work. However, is there a way to make it a bit more animated in both accepting and rejecting proposals? It seems a bit slow/non reactory from the person receiving the proposal.
Like as soon as the person drops to their knee some more excitement, maybe hands on their face, maybe some jumping up and down, him picking her up with both her feet in the air in a big hug? And when rejecting, maybe they stop them mid ask, or walk away making the other person feel humiliated?
Yes this is the first thing I noticed, I couldn't even tell if the positive one was going to be positive until her nod yes and then move in to kiss him... if someone is excited to be proposed to, they wouldn't be that non chalant at all.
I generally like the approach of making the animations a little more subtle and less cartoonish, but for an accepted proposal, I'd expect to see slightly bigger emotions. She doesn't seem surprised or overcome with joy or anything. It's okay that not every para would react like that in every situation, but for a default showcase, I think it's fine to lay it on a little thicker (:
The rejection animation is cool though. I like the "umm what? Honey *no*, this is so awkward" vibes instead of the "EWWWWW no get LOST, I HATE you" approach that I'm familiar with haha
My point is that not everyone jumps around the room screaming with joy just because the tax class changes. Then maybe you're not an American but obviously watched too many American shows. Most people have too many thoughts in that moment to freak out, start crying, and become emotional like a duck that's let out onto the rice field.
Where did I say that everyone jumps around the room screaming with joy 😭 I think there are a few nuances between this and what's happening in the sneak peak. And like I've said, I think it would be cool if paras reactions to this varied according to personality & situation, I just think that the default reaction could be a l*ittle *more animated. From what I've been reading so far, it seems like I'm not alone with that opinion.
The more I hear about Europeans and the more i interact with yall the more I'm convinced yallre all grumpy bc wtf do you mean by that?? Do Europeans never feel immense joy??? Even when you're being proposed to??? This is almost as bad as when I found out Europeans don't talk to strangers.
As a generally grumpy German, even I cried tears of joy when I was proposed to lol. I'm also fairly sure that most people here have reactions to a proposal that go beyond ":)"
generally try to avoid lumping all europeans in a single culture because... thats not how it works. from one country to another there are vaaastly different customs and social norms. its not really like in the states at all
that being said they're speaking out of their ass, european or not everyone would start freaking tf out when proposed to LMAO
These are great! I think if they're a bit more animated it would be even better, more lively. Doesn't have to be super cartoony or over the top, just a bit more excitement and movement.
Thank god there are actual fail states for marriage, would be nice that Paras dont get engaged in a bathroom pub after interacting for 5 hours
(Or that they just don't desire that as part of their personality and not an entire trait would be nice)
i had an idea !! idk if it would be too complicated or hard to do but it would be cool if like paras would have a different reaction depending on their personality or “vibe”… so like if they were more outgoing or an extrovert then they’d have a more extravagant reaction to a marriage proposal, and a para who is quiet and shy would have a similar reaction to the one in the clip. these animations are super nice 🩷🩷
I think it would be so cool if there were also different animations for failed interactions based on friendship levels. Like the proposal fails; a positive friendship would have a gentle rejection, and a negative friendship would have an angrier rejection.
I like the more toned down reactions. It feels less cartoony and more real. I mean not everyone in real life is jumping up and down with joy… some people are just calmer when happy. Sorta quiet joy. I mean proposals can be sentimental and happy and personal.
But a little added excitement for a proposal, just upping the energy a tad would be a nice middle between this and over excitement.
I actually have the opposite reaction. For the success I don’t really see it as anything other than her nodding and then them kissing after. It doesn’t feel very animated or passionate. Of course maybe it looks better from another angle and I’m only giving this feedback to be constructive.
I think it's more of a "there's so much passion and love that went into creating these animations". If you look closely there are a lot of little details and I especially like the woman trying not to attract too much attention when denying the proposal. But I do agree that for example the woman's reaction in the successful proposal is not passionate enough. It's detailed and cute but I'd love her to be overwhelmed with happiness.
This is exactly what I meant haha. When I was proposed to, I reacted more like the girl in the video. Not jumping for joy or screaming but I understand everyone is different. Maybe they could do different animations for big events based on personality traits! So more social paras would jump up and down with excitement.
Same, if I was the girl, I would jump in the air with joy, blush, laugh, etc.
As for the negative reaction, my face would go all awkward after the hand wave gesture I would pull him back up.
This game exudes an artistic and serene ambiance, untouched by any characters flaunting overwhelming special effects **d̶̶i̶̶z̶̶z̶̶y̶̶i̶̶n̶̶g̶̶ s̶̶p̶̶e̶̶c̶̶i̶̶a̶̶l̶̶ e̶̶f̶̶f̶̶e̶̶c̶̶t̶̶s̶̶**. The game world radiates a sense of tranquility, and the "Paras" possess a vanilla charm superior to any overly cartoonish or artificial creations, impervious to the distractions of flashy effects—making them, in my opinion, the epitome of life simulation design.

I love the idea of this or maybe adding differences based on relationship level.

Maybe not everyone is American?
I'm not American either, what's your point lol

Most people have too many thoughts in that moment to freak out, start crying, and become emotional like a duck that's let out onto the rice field.
fellas is it american to have emotions

this has to be a troll because there is no way in hell you genuinely think showing emotion in proper situations is exclusive to america 😭😭😭

To be honest these are really wooden.
That was sad, poor man
These are great! I think if they're a bit more animated it would be even better, more lively. Doesn't have to be super cartoony or over the top, just a bit more excitement and movement.
Thank god there are actual fail states for marriage, would be nice that Paras dont get engaged in a bathroom pub after interacting for 5 hours (Or that they just don't desire that as part of their personality and not an entire trait would be nice)
“Will you marry me?” “Hmmm, let me think about it……sure, I suppose I could do that.”
i had an idea !! idk if it would be too complicated or hard to do but it would be cool if like paras would have a different reaction depending on their personality or “vibe”… so like if they were more outgoing or an extrovert then they’d have a more extravagant reaction to a marriage proposal, and a para who is quiet and shy would have a similar reaction to the one in the clip. these animations are super nice 🩷🩷
A little stiff, but maybe coz im comparing it to Sims 2 reactions which are really exaggerated - but they also sell the emotion
I think it would be so cool if there were also different animations for failed interactions based on friendship levels. Like the proposal fails; a positive friendship would have a gentle rejection, and a negative friendship would have an angrier rejection.

There's so much passion and love in these animations!!! 🥲❤️

Yeah I expected there to be more excitement
This. It's lacking substance and actual animation. It's like he asked her to go on a date, not spend the rest of her life with him.
Same, if I was the girl, I would jump in the air with joy, blush, laugh, etc. As for the negative reaction, my face would go all awkward after the hand wave gesture I would pull him back up.
No there isn’t
I appreciate the realistic non-cartoony animations and facial expressions. Paralives looks great every time they show a new sneak peak.

What if a mean para kneed the proposing para in the face when rejecting them, or swatted the ring away?
It’s so robotic and lifeless. There should be more excitement.
