I mean, is Tom Nook still signing you up for home renovations and mortgages without consent nor telling you what your payment will be untill after he's done it?
... Is Mr Ressetti still screaming at you in text for 15 minutes, fake deleting your save file and shit, if you fuck with the game/system clock?
Are the fucking gyroids still a thing?
You... can't seriously tell me those things are not cursed souls trapped in weird as fuck, semi-animate statues.
Genuienly asking, I haven't played AC since the original.
Nope, he asks first now
No, but that can't be satanic. My mom used to scream at me for much longer.
Yep.
They're based on Haniwa which is some old, Japanese funerary thing. So maybe? I didn't read the whole Wikipedia article.
My cursory understanding of Shinto would lead me to believe that... basically, the idea here is that a haniwa is an effigy, meant to both honor and protect the dead.
And... given than many kinds of 'spirits' in Shinto essentially... manifest themselves in, or possess certain objects, things, even people, that match with their particular demeanor...
Yeah, basically a gyroid is fairly similar to a golem spell, its a spirit or demon or minor demi god possessing a fashioned form.
But I am not by any means an expert.
Either way, thanks for actually answering my questions, hehe!
