Anyway, NiGHTS, Reala and Wizeman now all have Profiles on the Japanese site, and theres two new wallpapers of Helen and Will sleeping.
It's be really really neat if someone could translate the profiles, I'm sure theres new stuff in there.

Sailor Moon style bitchez! xDJust as soon as she's done saving the universe.
But back on topic, it would be interesting too see what it says about Wizeman too.

I wonder who will be filling the seven remaining slots in the character section. From what I estimate, Helen, William, Donbalon, Girania, Kyameran, Bomamba, and our mystery character. I hope it's Jackle, but it's most likely the spider boss we heard about a while back.
There was also mention of a Cerebus-style dog character, although I beleive that might have been referring to Bomamba perhaps. I don't know where this Spider boss fits in, if it's following the same Boss scheme as last time, however Reala plays an important role in this title, so I believe he's a higher-standard boss and isn't chucked into the rest of them, so the Spider would fill that gap.
I don't think Helen and William will get profiles though.. considering they already have a couple of detailed ones in a different section, but you never know.
And if the Great Mother character is in, what about her. Or Reala Owl ?

I believe it is time for the English ver. to finally update. It still says Dec 18 which makes me wonder if this is coming out on time or not. But then again the Jp ver. still says Dec 13 so I really don't know what's goin on anymore.

Here's Reala's tidbit, translated by myself with some input from my sister:
The same as NiGHTS, one of the first level Nightmaren created by Wizeman. But, his personality is the opposite of NiGHTS'. Compared to the free and uncontrolled NiGHTS, Reala absolutely obeys his creator Wizeman, and as opposed to the bright and cheerful NiGHTS, Reala is cruel and brutal, having a {some kanji that's too small to read} personality. As proof of his loyalty, he wears the persona (mask) given to him by Wizeman. He acts as the leader of the Nightmaren attacking NiGHTS.
I'm not 100% sure my translation is right, but that's roughly it.

I knew it! It is a persona mask after all. I still wonder what it does though.

I'd be translating that as fast as I could to get it to you guys.... But as I cannot read it I will stare blankly at the pictures and wish I could, lol :3
If only the English site would update.... *slaps computer* NAO!!

Posted 22 November 2007 - 04:01 AM
I'll try some translating, but I can't promise anything quick, being that I generally suck eggs at it. BUT. I shall do my darndest! *pose* (But if someone beats me to the punch, please do! :3)
Am I the only one scarily intimidated by this Wizeman..? @3@;;;;;
#18
Posted 22 November 2007 - 04:26 AM
A first-level Nightmaren created by Wizeman. He {note: no gender identified, I'm just using "he"} hates the orders and restraint he's given; as it is with his free spirit, he plays around in his favorite Nightopia. Brimming with curiousity, he loves new things and {adjective I can't read... who knows, probably means "sparkly" or something} things. Still, he's originally only a Nightmaren, and he also {does something to/with humans, can't read it} and jokes {connotation being "makes fun of" or "mocks"}. Though it does not mean that he has a strong sense of justice, he is displeased by the conduct of Wizeman, who's trying to erase his beloved Nightopia, and he will help on Will and Helen's adventure.
Again, not completely accurate, but the best I could do.
Wizeman's translation:
WEST SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE!
No. Not really. I'm just too tired to translate his right now; I'll try to get around to it before my Thanksgiving Break ends.

Almost have the first line of Wizeman's description romanji-tized..! (This could take a while..)

The translated bits are really interesting. I feel less worried about Reala being brainwashed now, and like Kori the description of NiGHTS is close to how I see him.

After listening to the Podcast, this small blurb of info will come as a godsend to DiGi im sure XD.

You rule Tsunami! I love NiGHTS' description, it's how I've come to imagine his character - not a lover of justice, but of freedom! Reala's was great too, but I always thought of him having his own agenda for Nightopian takeover. Dunno why, but it's irrelevant anyway. XD

You're welcome, guys! Glad to help. This is forcing me to practice my Japanese.
Here's Wizeman's actual blurb. It was pretty much translated by my sister with only a bit of input by me.
The godlike being who created the world called "Nightmare" in the Night Dimension of nothingness. Using his own life-force he was able to create Nightmarens; {something I can't read} they're classified as First Level, Second Level, and Third Level Nightmarens. To control the entire Night Dimension via Nightmare, he seeks to erase Nightopia. Those god-like abilities are so great, they cause calamity all over Nightopia.
Kori, were you able to translate the first part of the sentence before the First Level, etc. bit? My sister and I couldn't read the second kanji.

Oh man, you have no idea how good it is to hear that Reala ain't being controlled by that bloody mask. XD
The last thing i wanted to see was another bad guy becomes good, story line. They over used it in Sonic. Let's hope it stays out of NiGHTS' games.
But YES! I'm happy. So very happy. Thank you for translating this for us. That was a really interesting read. The characters are pretty much the same as how they were designed to be 11 years ago, then. They even continue to mention that NiGHTS has a wild streak to him and he ain't just some goody-twoshoes. HE'S A RULE BREAKAH!!!

I hate to say this (and I'm probably wrong), but just because Reala willingly puts on the mask doesn't mean said mask doesn't exert at least some control over him. Again, I'm probably wrong, but I personally wouldn't put it past Wizeman to say 'here's a symbol of your loyalty to me, wear it' and have it turn out to be something that controls Reala; I think he's likely one not to leave anything to chance, even with Reala being as loyal to him as he is.
EDIT: I also sorta hope Reala doesn't suddenly become a good guy, but the entire 'not all bad guys are beyond changing' theme would be great to teach. It's overused, yes, but still a good thing to learn. I don't think he would change, though; he's too loyal to Wizeman to change that easily. ..... Unless the betrayal of being controlled despite his loyalty hurts him enough (yeah, I still think that Reala's mask likely controls him, at least to some degree; they wouldn't be designing the masks so similarly unless they served the same purpose).
..... On that note, if Reala's mask doesn't control him, maybe NiGHTS's mask doesn't control him, either. Maybe Wizeman makes some kind of threat to NiGHTS that forces him to join Wizeman again. OO' *is shot*

Some say the mask turns Reala into the owl. I'll like to put my money on that rather than him becoming a good guy. Besides, if kids need the moral 'being good is better than being bad' then they need look no further than NiGHTS himself. NiGHTS rebelled Wizeman. We don't need Reala to do it, too.
#33
Posted 23 November 2007 - 09:21 PM
Anyway, I wouldn't put any money on him being Owl (note; Owl helps NiGHTS, so I believe that would basically mean Reala's converted before you even meet NiGHTS if that's true), but I believe that might be more likely than NiGHTS kicking his butt and he suddenly converts. ^^;

As for those characters, Tsunami, it's kinda tricky, but I finally reached the weekend (THANK HEAVEN my bank isn't open on weekends...), so I can stay up as long as is needed to figure it out! GANBATTE YO! *whoosh*
EDIT: I think I know which kanji you mean... I can't find a good match, but my best assumption is basically "there are many kinds". ^^; Was that the part?

Yep! That's the part, and your translation makes sense. I got the 多い/"Ooi" bit, but that second kanji is a mess.
Note on Reala: I can't say with 100% certainty that the mask isn't controlling him. The character profile may be leaving "spoiler" details like that out.

All of the artwork I have seen him in shows him wearing that mask. Why don't they show his ............. hideous....... I mean handsome face?

Posted 28 November 2007 - 12:28 AM
It turns him into Cooking Mama. :| Actually, it turns him into Wolf O'Donnell, and then the rest of the game turns into Star Fox Assault! *my fear*I knew it! It is a persona mask after all. I still wonder what it does though.
Seriously though. I wonder if the mask isn't just there as a last resort kind of thing. Like...
N: Daddy's a jerk, Reala!
R: You're right, NiGHTS. I should totally stop helping him.
W: Oh shizzle, time for plan B. *snaps fingers*
R: *mask latches onto his face and transforms him into some tentacled squid thingy*
N: Oh fsck me. *poops bricks*
Or even before that.
W: Well, NiGHTS up and left. But you'll stay with me, right Reala?
R: Of course, Wizeman! <3
W: Great! Have this commemorative mask as a thank you present.
R: Boy oh boy. *puts it on*
W: *eyes glow* And if NiGHTS ever comes back here, you will rip out whatever he's got for internal organs and bring them to me.
R: *hypnotized* Yes, master.
W: Great! Now you should forget I said that last part.
R: What last part?
W: Excellent.

"New" Screenshots, Stage descriptions and stage name confirmation !
Pure Valley and Aqua Garden. Way to homage the original.
And.. and.. Reala isn't Owl ? O_O
I still think he is. Trapdoors and Mirrors ! : [
Stage translations, as well as the captions under the images (that one in particular) would be neat
