Tomodachi Life, famously called Tomodachi Collection: New Life in Japan and Friend Gathering Apartment in South Korea is one of the most famous life simulation video games out there. This Nintendo’s creation came out in 2013, yet is still very popular among people of all ages.
A healthy serving of this game revolves around personalities created in the game. The personality you create decides how the game goes for you. Called Mii in the game, it interacts with others in the game and hence you need to be careful when designing your personality.
The personality mechanism in the game is not very easy to comprehend, however how the end result would be is pretty hard to predict.
Understanding Personalities
Your personality will have different traits based on how you create it. It might be friendly or make enemies easily. It might even fall in love or just sit around shyly.
The game offers you a total of sixteen personalities to choose from. You first pick one out of these, and then you rate five different traits to give a final shape to your personality.
These traits include:
Speech: The scale for this trait goes from ‘Polite to Direct’. The more polite the character, the more shy it would be. The more direct you choose your character to be, the more expressive it will be and may even be rude or blunt at times.
Movement: The scale for this trait goes from ‘Slow to Quick’. This trait decides how fast or lazy your personality is. If you choose slow, the person would be lazy and not move a lot.
Expressiveness: The scale for this trait goes from ‘Flat to Vary’. If you choose flat, the personality would be boring and never express true feeling, on the other hand if you choose vary then your personality would speak his or her heart out.
Overall: The scale for this trait goes from ‘Quirky to Normal’. This is more like an x-factor, and you can play a lot with this one trait.
Attitude: The scale for this trait goes from ‘Serious to Relax’. If your personality is serious, he or she would not be joking around and may sit with a scowl. On the other hand, if the personality is very relaxed, he or she would easily make friends and mingle with others.
One cannot exactly predict how a personality will act. For example, if your personality is very expressive but with an attitude, the behavior would be different if you change attitude to relax. The former might be stringent, whereas the latter might come across flirtatious.
The effect one trait has on other is huge, which is why you can never be sure of how your personality would react in the game.
This is also one of the best things about this game, as it is very close to the real world and there are no black or white personalities. The personalities are mostly gray. Let’s have a look at the sixteen personalities offered in the game.
