In reply to Kreykans. That´s true for letters from NPC characters, but when you write a letter to another player character, you can edit the text

This story is UNTRUE! The game is programmed to send your character presents in the post with those GENERIC messages. It wasn’t his mom, it had nothing to do with her it was just the game doing what it was programmed to do. The person who posted the original story obviously didn’t know and i’m pretty sure someone told her it wasn’t her mom. She was probably too heart broken to delete or update the post because most of the people who will read it won’t have played the game and thus won’t know the truth so it’s best to have something positive happen from a lie than to not.

I know this thread is pretty old, but just wanted to mention a little more on the comic.

I was the one who found the comic and translated it into original words. What I mean by “original words”, I mean that it was in English to begin with. It was written by some member in the IGN forum, and I was able to find the original post too. But that was long ago…

A show of proof, this is where I posted the translated comic:

when you create your character in Animal Crossing, you select your favorite relative: Mom, Dad, Grandmother, Grandfather.

Then periodically the game will send you random items in the mail from the “favorite relative” you selected, saying things like “Just thinking of you, Love, Mom.”

Most likely all the letters he got were generated by the game, not by his mother.

It’s an example of great game design, not maternal love.

“According to Babelfish, that translates to: Forest of animal, probably something related to Animal Crossing.”

The Japanese versions of Animal Crossing were named Animal Forest.
