Okay, from what I understand, one can have Nightopians in their personal dream areas in the JoD game (I don't know whether or not they manage things or just hang around). So, without getting into any fights, I would like to ask the board members whether they like Chao or Nightopians (if you wish, you can differntiate between the JoD ones and the NiD ones) and why.

Personally, I prefer Chao over the Nightopians since they seem to have different personalities and tend not to be in the way during missions (never have to worry about kicking or paralooping a Chao on an action stage). Also... I hate to admit this... I kind of melt whenever they run up for hugs and have hearts appear over their heads when I get close. Second would have to be the NiD 'Pians, since I find the JoD ones to be a bit creepy-looking.

Okay, anyone else?

Chao are definitely more fun, but there was this one time where I had a basic NiGHTS chao and a basic Shadow Chao, and I realized that I would have a horrible fan fic on my hands in a matter of hours.

Though the Nitopians make the world feel more alive, but that's only in NiD, I hardly ever see JoD nightopians. And not just because I never play that game.

I most definitely prefer Chaos, especially the ones in Sonic Adventure 2! Breeding them and upping their stats was (and still is) fun, with the racing and karate and all that good stuff! The Nightopians...I'm sad to say they just don't have that charm.

I choose Chao simply because I KNOW HOW TO TAKE CARE OF THEM! In NiD, I CANNOT figure out HOW to take care of Pians and I've NEVER been able to get a Mepian or anything of the sort. all I can do is HATCH the things. And since I don't have JoD...or a Wii...:(...I can't raise any Pians the EASY way...shoot! :D

I prefer the Chao; there's a lot more to do with them and they actually interact with the player character.
And of course, they are much cuter.

Tough call!

I really like the fact that Nightopians control the music. But the Chao can be interacted with more. And made to look pretty awesome... Plus mini-games.
But Nightopians fish with cake! How cool is that? And they remind me a bit of Zippy the Pinhead (of "Zippy" comics fame). And I loves me Zippy.

Nightopians are part of the world. Chao are always locked up in a room/cave/something. Point to Nightopians.

I cannot choose!

I like chao. Pians are a nice addition to NiGHTS, but chao are more fun. And harder to kill. ^_^

The person who created this poll is truely evil>.< It's hard to decide between the 2, since both are cute in their own ways... But I'm going with the Nightopians, although they're a bit suicidal... For the next NiGHTS game they should give the a-life system a bit more indepth XD Well if there will be one that is<.<

You know this is kind of hard. I mean, they both come out of eggs and they both are part of an A-Life system. However a Chao is basically a virtual pet whereas the Nightopians seem to be these cool laid back peeps who'll chill with you. All you have to do is make them happy. You don't have to do much to do that. Chaos you can do more though. I dunno. I'll just choose the third option even though I don't agree with it. Man this is almost as evil as Nocturnes last poll.

Chao, hands down. They're just so friggin' adorable, and, just for the fun of it, I'll run down the school hallways screeching "Chaochaochaochao!" at the top of my lungs while either leaving or running to glomp someone.
Not to mention, all the experiments you can do with Chao. Like when I decided it would be a good idea to take a red chao and make him a dark flier. (I still need to finish that unholy experiment up. Hopefully, I think it'll end up looking like Reala. Wish me luck!)
That, and Nightopians kinda freak me out. Creepy lookin' little things.

As much as I love unraveling My Dream....
Chao win simply because there is more to them.
Games, evolving....
Nightopians are like a flock of sheep they are just there.

Ooh this is nasty!

I chose Chao because the A-life in JoD should have been a step up from the original NiD Nightopian system, instead it was backwards. Though Nightopians are a million miles cuter than Chao.

So in terms of design- Nightopians
functionality - Chao

Have to say chao. There's just so much more you can do with them.
Pians are kinda meh at best. There's not a whole lot goin' on there.

As cute as the Nightopians are, I personally think the Chaos are more functional.

And in future games, I agree, I'd like to see more out of the A-life. Maybe being able to move objects around? That'd be cool. And the only thing you can really do with the Nightopians is throw blue chips at them or carry them around. More personality from them would be great.
