NiGHTS ThREAD

[Anonymous No.9067002]

Yesterday was NiGHTS' 26th birthday! Happy belated birthday, NiGHTS into Dreams...! Talk about anything NiGHTS-related. Gameplay, thoughts, datamine, etc.

Shit game.

NiGHTS isn't a physical being and thus doesn't have a sex as we understand it, and neither does anyone else from the dream world.
...which drives me up the wall because NiGHTS fans often black out the second part and take just the main character as androgynous. As in, they often refer to NiGHTS as "they" but everyone else (except Puffy because boobs) as "he". Like, at least be consistent in your fake -ass millennial-speech. The second game came out at the right time to nonchalantly refer to NiGHTS as "he" without batting an eye. I dread a third game, which will undoubtedly have a very special gaijin-written scene where the game talks to you about what it means for NiGHTS to defy gender norms and "fly free" while hypocritically ignoring the fact the the same applies to everyone excep humans.

I just started playing the Steam version this week. I'm having a great time for the most part, but some level segments feel for lack of a better word, cumbersome.

Oshima's early concept art is pure horror.

I remember when Nights was this legendary game treated on par with stuff like Shadow of the Colossus. Then it got ported and all the mystique went away.

I remember one article from around Nights release that stated that Sega was considering replacing Sonic with Nights as Sega's mascot.

So apparently Naka is shitting on Ohshima now? Is it because Balan didn't work out?

I played the second game on the Wii years ago. I found it fun, especially since it had something akin to the Chao Garden.

[Anonymous No.9068462]

How exactly do you get an A rank? Do you need to go over a certain score threshold? Or is getting actual A's in each lap more important? (even if the overall score is low).

[Anonymous No.9068529]

>>9068462
Get the Ideya as fast as possible to double the score multiplier, then spend the rest of the stage link chaining and only enter the Ideya Palace when the time starts running out (like 20 seconds or so).

You need Rank C or higher in every stage to enter the final stage of the game. Finishing the game with Rank A on all stages gives you the adult version of Dreams Dreams (the main theme song) for the ending.

[Anonymous No.9068658]

>>9067803
not him but I still feel a bit sad; I bought the pc version years ago because I wanted to support the series going forward. Of course, that never works (just look at Darkstalkers series, they never got a revival even though people keep buying it when they rerelease it) but back in 2014 or whatever when the port came out, people were much more naive about that business practice.

[Anonymous No.9068664]

>>9067836
>implying auster can kill anything
Not even himself.
/vr/ died with the rule change. Sure the quality was already bloated compared to the early days, but auster is mostly /vr/'s jester, not really dangerous.

It's true, if you play the game, you see the character you play as isn't NiGHTS, it's Elliot and Claire, and NiGHTS is a sort of dream creature that acts as their avatar. If you play as Claire, NiGHTS is female.

The kids versions is so infinitely better.

[Anonymous No.9068872]

>>9067603
Yes. Ohshima was alleged to have a big hand in getting him kicked off the project for creating a terrible work environment. Naka's been his usual faggot self and been seething on Twitter ever since, basically.

I want the timeline where NiGHTS and Sonic Adventure switched places.
>Saturn Sonic Adventure trims the gameplay fat (i.e. Big who was there to showcase the Dreamcast's almighty fishing prowess), redesigns that occurred due to major games skipping a console generation either happen later or not at all.
>Dreamcast NiGHTS gets analog-default controller, way more polish, looks closer to PS2 version upon release, and gets expanded concepts such as Self, is remembered as a unique launch title.
>Due to the NiGHTS engine not being a thing yet, Sonic Xtreme developers don't waste valuable time on that dead-end; if it still gets canceled on Saturn, it made it further along to the point it was probably picked up as a streamlined PC exclusive.
This is a net good, shame Sega's priorities weren't aligned.

[Anonymous No.9069940]

I think it's a shame they didn't integrate the pirouette moves in the gameplay(outside of those timed bonus ribbon moments) like have them give you benefits like speed boosts, make sudden turns easier, etc.
It would make the skilled movement in the game even more stylish than it already is

At least they extend links. Barely, but they help.

The Saturn had way bigger problems and simply could not handle a Sonic game like Sonic Adventure
Even if they made someway to handle the game on the console it would probably just be too late and it would be dead anyway

[Anonymous No.9071496]

>>9071490 (me)
If Sega of Japan wasnt retarded they would get over their autism with SOA and make the priority to have their main star game be able to run smoothly without having to handicap itself on their new console
just like how fucking Nintendo did

[Anonymous No.9071498]

Alright boys but who is Self

[Anonymous No.9072372]

>>9071498
A cut boss. According to Naka, Self was meant to be a secret boss, but he was cut due to time constraints. The only things that remains of him are an unused boss emblem and name for the Boss menu, an unused name for the credits and a cut boss song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xzfaXBOLr4

Additionally, the NiGHTS Datamine Project team found a set of 3D emblems on the E3 demo. The second set of emblems are heavily speculated to be what Self would've looked like.
