#5715 Your least favourite Nightmaren from NiGHTS into Dreams...

Posted by Lavos on 20 May 2007 - 01:05 AM in NiGHTS chit-chat

When I'm going for score, I despise Jackle to no end. 1.2 multipliers KILL. ._.

But as far as the characters go, it would be Gulpo. He just didn't seem to have a personality.



#5772 Wizeman's Worst

Posted by Lavos on 20 May 2007 - 06:52 PM in Poll Area

Gah. The torandoes.

I don't even think NiGHTS' head fits through that small gap. >_<;



#1752 Wii-mote control

Posted by Lavos on 27 April 2007 - 10:15 PM in NiGHTS chit-chat

If the game retains the sidescroller viewpoint, I'd think NiGHTS movement might be mapped to the pointer. NiGHTS follows the pattern you make with the pointer, or alternatively he tries to fly towards the pointer at all times.

I'd really, really like to see it work that way.



#5670 Who finished the game?~

Posted by Lavos on 19 May 2007 - 07:56 AM in NiGHTS chit-chat

Heh, I beat Claris's dreams with straight C's and a B on my first try, in one sitting, before I even realized the battery in my Saturn was dead. XD And I just barely scraped that C on Spring Valley, I think I tried that one four times before I got used to the controls and moved on.

I got a battery a couple days later and beat both dreamer's stories, and a year later, I have perpetual straight A's, and solid 12th place on Scoreattack.net.

Good times. XD



#5536 What setting would you like to see for a dreamscape?

Posted by Lavos on 17 May 2007 - 07:48 AM in NiGHTS chit-chat

Personally, I'd like to see a heaven/hell dream (like the Digital Dimension course in Sonic Riders, or to a lesser extent, Chapter 7 of Super Paper Mario).

I've always found those kinds of stages rather interesting.



#5714 What setting would you like to see for a dreamscape?

Posted by Lavos on 20 May 2007 - 01:03 AM in NiGHTS chit-chat

A factory... a circus... global warming... I think we're getting a little too mundane in our ideas. The dreamscapes need to be way more fantastical than this.

Looking at all the dreamscapes and thinking about what Iizuka-san has said in interviews, I've concluded that the dreamscapes in NiD and JoD all come down to three things: A) Keep it general -- the things that anyone would dream about, :P Keep it fantastical -- like the floating windmills and the rubber buildings, and C) Keep it open and free -- the better for NiGHTS to fly.

I'd like to go back to the outer space idea I proposed that the thread's beginning. Unfortunately, that has a problem -- when the time as NiGHTS runs out, where are the kids going to land? It's not quite as important, but ground exploration needs to be possible in the event that the counter winds down. The only exception in NiD was in Twin Seeds, but all that really did was add difficulty, which is permissible in a game's final level.

I'm trying to come up with something to fit this criteria, but all I'm seeing is a level above the clouds. There's a lot of space for NiGHTS to fly around in, and the kids could walk on the clouds. But how would that idea be spiced up? There's a lot of stuff on the earth and a lot of stuff in space, but there isn't a whole lot in between, is there? Any ideas?


There could be airplanes flying around the stage that would hurt NiGHTS if he hit them, and the kids could jump on and ride. Or large birds.

Or... random thought that just popped into my head. A small town that rests on the clouds, with people/pians going about their daily commute. Hmm...



#7165 What do you love to do in a dream?

Posted by Lavos on 04 June 2007 - 11:26 PM in Dream Discussion

Usually when I fly in a dream, it looks something like this:

Without people cursing their heads off, of course



#4827 What do you love to do in a dream?

Posted by Lavos on 10 May 2007 - 12:49 AM in Dream Discussion

I like to just spontaneously create things.

I once made a car appear out of thin air, jumped in, and drove it. It was pretty cool. Then... it transformed into robotic battle armor, which I wasn't really expecting. XD



#12160 What been rottin in your player?

Posted by Lavos on 22 August 2007 - 09:43 AM in Community Corner

My 80-minute MP3 Player has two tracks on it:

"Lucid Dream Red Mix" by Elucidate (around 75 minutes) <3
"Ganon Hates Grating Cheese" by MrSimon (~1:15)

How's that for imbalance? I say EXCELLENT!



#12365 What are you listening to right now?

Posted by Lavos on 23 August 2007 - 07:10 AM in Community Corner

Good call! Coldplay is my favorite band (along with Gorillaz)! Guess what I'm listening to... ;)

Clocks -- Coldplay

=D




"If You're Not the One" by Daniel Bedingfield.

<3 this song.



#12347 What are you listening to right now?

Posted by Lavos on 23 August 2007 - 05:20 AM in Community Corner

"Clocks (Deep Dish Remix)" by Coldplay/Deep Dish.

This remix pwns.



#6567 Topic of Rumination: What is Reala's Line?

Posted by Lavos on 29 May 2007 - 05:28 PM in NiGHTS chit-chat

At the end, I always thought he said "NiGHTS...Brother...." like he was sorry or calling for help.

I agree. That's something I factored into my fanfiction.

And while we're on that subject, my sister hears the line "Run away!" a few times in Growing Wings. I think she's insane <.<



#12305 TONS OF NEW EXCLUSIVE INFO

Posted by Lavos on 23 August 2007 - 12:19 AM in [ARCHiVED] JOD Discussion

Did Lode Runner 2 do this to you? XP

Yeah... sorta.

I hacked the World Hub level file and made my own. XD



#12279 TONS OF NEW EXCLUSIVE INFO

Posted by Lavos on 22 August 2007 - 09:45 PM in [ARCHiVED] JOD Discussion

GLEE.

For some reason, the "world hub" thing got me more excited than anything.

...what? I like world hubs. ;_;



#34652 They're getting rowdy o_o

Posted by Lavos on 08 January 2008 - 08:24 AM in [ARCHiVED] JOD Discussion

So today I go into my My Dream to check up on my Pians. This is what I see:

-three Pians seeming to compete for the highest hover
-two Pians trying to drown each other in a cauldron (no joke o_o)
-a couple Marens chasing around one Pian, who seemed oddly calm given the situation
-one Pian sulking in the corner
-a Pian that followed me around and kept ramming me with a huge grin on its face. It was rotating around on all three axes too. I think it was trying to smile for the camera while simultaneously trying to kill Will off. o_o

I think a beer keg must have wandered into My Dream along with the giant blimp.



#6450 The transition between waking and dreaming

Posted by Lavos on 28 May 2007 - 06:14 AM in Dream Discussion

I will almost always smell buttered popcorn in hypnagogia. XD

I once heard a really neat trance track, too.

It can be pretty fun sometimes, yes.



#3659 The NiGHTS Comics!

Posted by Lavos on 03 May 2007 - 12:14 AM in Poll Area

The only thing I enjoyed about them is that Gillwing got promoted to "The Gillwing".

So poo. >.<



#527 So, how did you get into NiGHTS?

Posted by Lavos on 25 April 2007 - 09:15 PM in NiGHTS chit-chat

The first time I heard of it was from a friend of mine on the Nintendo NSider forums, back in the Loudhouse thread. He mentioned it, posted a screen, and made a short blurb on how much fun he was having with it.

One year later, I play Sonic Adventure, find the pinball level, and remember that post. I thought this would look like a fun game to buy.

Six months later, I find the game at Goodwill, and around the same time, I get a Sega Saturn from my sister for Christmas.

And from there, I loved the game, and found this website through Wikipedia. And that's where I am now. :P



#48 So who's keeping sane then?

Posted by Lavos on 25 April 2007 - 05:11 AM in NiGHTS chit-chat

Well, of course, I jumped onto the NiD bandwagon rather late. As such, my opinion might differ significantly from others because I haven't been playing, analyzing, writing, and drawing about the game for eleven years.

But anyway, I can roughly compare the situation to one of a SNES game that was my favorite videogame before I discovered NiGHTS... Chrono Trigger. The game was accepted wonderfully, I loved it, just about everyone else who played it loved it, and demand for a sequel was high. So the PlayStation sequel "Chrono Cross" was released. It was horrible, completely twisted up the excellent story of CT, and was just kinda boring. And what's kinda funny is that most fans, when discussing the story, characters, etc, just pretend that Cross doesn't exist. And we say we're still waiting for the "real" CT sequel.

I really think a similar thing will happen should Journey of Dreams crash and burn. We'll accept it as a mistake and move on, hoping that the next one pulls it off. If it works, if it's the sequel NiD deserves, wonderful. But otherwise, it'll just be another waiting game.

It may just be that I've only waited a year, but I'm not terribly worried.



#3241 Sleep Walking

Posted by Lavos on 01 May 2007 - 09:24 PM in Dream Discussion

I have more than a few stories about my sisters sleepwalking/talking.

A lot of them involving things like crying because of wasted orange juice and waking up in the middle of June yelling "I'm so glad it's Christmas Eve!". XD

Myself, I tend to start crying in my sleep, for completely irrational nonlucid dream-related reasons. Like my mom ripping up a whole bunch of cardboard boxes. And there being no Cratermaze sequel. (which is sad, anyway.)

Oh, and Hill Top Zone is evil. ;_;



#10128 Show 3 online

Posted by Lavos on 06 August 2007 - 06:41 AM in [ARCHiVED] Misc

Good job on this one, guys. ^.^

Interviews were great, and the opening had me laughing my head off. XD


Btw, I missed you guys. ^_^

Not that Right Said Fred ain't good, but it's just not the same.



#3232 Sega Splash! Golf

Posted by Lavos on 01 May 2007 - 08:47 PM in NiGHTS chit-chat

Fourth...next there will be Tenneis, soccer, bowling, DDR, stripping, cooking---Wait WHAT?! (Seriously no Sega. Please don't...)

#5730 Personal Dreamscapes

Posted by Lavos on 20 May 2007 - 05:31 AM in Dream Discussion

There is one dreamscape that I've visited a few times, all while lucid.

It looks like the street I live on, except the road is replaced with a dark, frozen river, and the street is lined with sakura trees.

It looks really neat. :P



#2589 Ol' Six Hands

Posted by Lavos on 29 April 2007 - 08:57 PM in [ARCHiVED] JOD Discussion

I don't know.. if Reala is in charge in this game, I don't know where Wizeman would fit in. Unless he made some kind of a cut scene appearance. :o

I read that up to 'cut' and than thought of the boss battle in Donkey Kong 64 where you battle a cardboard cutout of King K. Rool.

Which gave me the idea that maaaaybe... If Reala's in charge, he could create a fake 'puppet' Wizeman that you do battle with, and you don't know it's a fake until after you take it down. And then... that's when you realize Reala's behind it all! :o

Just a thought. XD They were saying they were putting a lot of emphasis on plot, so I expect to see those kinds of things...



#1585 NiGHTS' new look

Posted by Lavos on 27 April 2007 - 04:46 PM in [ARCHiVED] JOD Discussion

I personally am for the change. It makes him/her look a bit more grown up, and I think most people who've never heard of NiGHTS before would be more likely to pick JoD off the shelves on impulse with the new design rather than the old.

The only thing I dislike is that it makes NiGHTS seem a lot more male that the original design, not good for an androgynous character.

And I do like DiGi's idea of multiple costumes. Perhaps there could be something where you can "unlock" costume pieces, either by finding them in a stage or by achieving a certain goal, an then you can assemble the individual pieces any way you choose? Like Bomberman 64, you know...?
