I was watching it live, but you should be able to download the episode as soon as it's done here
It's about 40-50 minutes in.
Sorry for not posting about it before, I heard about it on short notice and didn't want to disappoint if there wasn't anything new >_<"""
Anyway lemme describe it:
-Definitely a foresty Mystic Forest type stage
-Very mossy, there are hills with windows in the sides and lichen-covered stacks of books and bookshelves
-Giant musical score you fly through, hitting the notes in order
-Multi-layer merry-go-round you have to dodge the carriages and horses on
-Weird "rift" looking spheres, if you hit them the screen goes white for a few seconds. They pop up and disappear in groups
-In one stretch NiGHTS flies through a row of giant glowy bluebell looking flowers, knocking off glittery dust
-Press switches to make solid walls disappear so you can pass
I bet this is the stage that the chameleon boss goes with... btw he said it was one of Helen's dreams.
Don't worry, no spoilers ^^"

If someone could grab some screens of the various points in the new level then that would be great. We would do it but TRiP just spent the entire day working on the site and is a bit tired. Cheers.

At this rate there's going to be nothing left to surprise me when I play so I can spend more time doing what I should: stare in awe

Great find, Apti. This would be the last level they need to reveal then since there is 6 in total.

I'll try and grab some screens if it gets put up before I go to bed ^^
Are you counting Will's escort mission with Helen, with all the glowy neon stuff, as a level? I wasn't sure.
Something else I wanted to mention, SegaNerds has a short-ish audio file of the last level up. It's in the same post as the ending-spoiler videos, but they will not play automatically, and they're not working right now anyway (guilty as charged >_>") I was a bit afraid to listen to it, but there aren't really any spoilers in it, and it has a really nice, new rendition of Dreams Dreams in the background. Just thought I'd let people know it's safe to listen to.
There's a short clip of NiGHTS speaking at the end, but he doesn't say anything that'll give anything important away. It was nice to have a clear example of the voice. ^^

NiGHTS vs. horse... WHO WILL WIN?
They came out pretty mucky since the downloadable version was kinda low qual...
I'm cutting out the video section of the show now, will upload it to Youtube so you can see it in action ^^ (I have no life)

I can't wait to get the game! It'll finally justify the money I spent on my Wii!

And i'm glad to hear the guy say that this is a direct sequel to NiD. I know some fans were still saying that it's supposed to overwrite the original but it says it, right in that video, that this takes place after the first game. Hoohah!

Also, did you catch that one statement?
"So...this is obviously coming out this year."
(Nods) "Mm-hm."
This plus the new ads almost seal the deal in terms of the delay debate, right?

Wow, so I was right (and anyone else who thought this)! ..... Well, to be perfectly honest, I did think it was a rewrite myself, but I thought that, in the event it turned out to truly be a sequel, that it wouldn't take place too long after the first one. ..... And that theory came after my silly theory that Will's father was Elliot and Helen's mother was Claris. XDDD *smacks herself*

That's not too silly, I think it would have been a pretty cool idea if they did something like that.And that theory came after my silly theory that Will's father was Elliot and Helen's mother was Claris.
But now I'm wondering... Remember when someone asked if any of the old music would be incorporated or redone and he said "Uh, we'll have a little more on that feature later" or whatever, what do you think he meant by that? You can unlock (some) of the original levels?
Also, he gives a pronounciation of Reala. Re-AL-a? Confirmed or does he just talk weird?

Also, i lolled when the guy with the glasses pronounces Reala's name as 'real-a' and the guy corrects him by saying 'Re-A-la'. XD
Iizuka himself also has pronounced his name as 'Re-A-la- in interviews, so i think that would be the official pronounciation, as far as Sega are concerned.

I just realized something late last night/early this morning; if JoD takes place immeadiatly after NiD, that means NiGHTS went back to Wizeman not long after helping Claris and Elliot save Nightopia. ..... WTF??? O____o' ..... Well, it would make sense if his mask exerts a significant amount of control over him; Wizeman could've just used Reala to catch NiGHTS or caught NiGHTS himself and slapped the mask on him. And, in certain theories people have, especially the Archie comic theory, it makes sense that Reala can be brought back (by either Wizeman himself or by a dreamer dreaming him up again).

Some of us had a pretty good idea how it was officially said due to the Japanese spelling and the official Sega promo video thing that TRiPPY has on the website (ANd for some reason this said video is ALWAYS playing upside down now...). But not many wanted to download a 701 MB file (Making it just a TAD too big to put on a CD so you need a DVD to store the thing.) and it wasn't said in the actual game so therefore...official pronunciation was never know 100%, but we had a pretty good idea. That and some may have thought the guy in the video may have been saying it wrong I guess..Don't worry - from what I gather, nobody in the fandom knew for certain how to pronounce his name until recently.

I always knew and believed it was meant to sound like Re-A-la, but I refused to say it because I was so used to the other way. Many others were too. I think....I may STILL say it that way just because its going to be hard to switch back. (Yeah when I first saw his name I said Re-A-la...but then somehow I said Real-a and I liked that better....)
Moving right along, I don't think it takes place that soon after NiD. Unless they said so. It wouldn't make sense though. I think a little bit of time would have had to happen. But then again, a lot of changes can happen in the dreamworld in such a short time I guess.
As much as I am not liking the idea of so many levels being kinda similar to the original game levels, I do like this level. I always wanted there to be a carousel with NiGHTS. I was also thinking the other day about the Sonic Advance 2 musical level, and I thought that would be interesting to be in a NiGHTS game. Nice to see both there. This level looks so pretty and majestic too. Heh, depending on how it plays out, this may just be my favorite level.
