Secondly, I want Reala to be PURE EVIL, and to try to tempt the children in both the Waking and Night Dimensions.
Also, Jackle plz thx.

Otherwise some more original dreamers would be nice, Helen and Will were pretty cookie-cutter. Cut scenes should be done in 2D animation that looks like the storybook. And maybe just have text, or dialogue read by a narrator, like X-mas NiD's intro.

KISS
No highly-detailed story, no dramaticly different characters. Just some good ol' fashion NiGHTS Into Dreams-esque gameplay.

When I first read that, I immediately thought of Gene Simmons.1 word:
KISS
I can see Reala in the make up, though!

It's interesting that you should say that, since Claris and Elliot's personalities are incredibly basic. We know he likes basketball and she likes to sing. That's it. I think that that stands as a sign of how NiD is so great that we can become interested and emotionally attactched to people with very little direct personifications.[...]and some new dreamers that are at least close to as interesting as Claris and Elliot.
Random thought over. Now back to our regularly scheduled topic.

What I most want is a revamp of the My Dream system. Like, move the traditional A-Life functions (like mepians, music changes, exc.) back into the levels, and make My Dream more Chao-garden-ish. (I just miss the Chao gardens so much). I would also like a greater ability for customization. It's cool on one hand to see your My Dream evolve on its own, but it gets very annoying sometimes when you get something you don't really want (for instance, a giant crevice of doom) and have no way of actively changing it. And there are too many Pians. I want less Pians, more Pian-interactions. I'm normally very caring when it comes to my digital creatures, but my Pians were breeding so fast and dying so fast that I ended up throwing them around and letting half of them die, which I know is something I wouldn't dream of doing to my chao.
Oh, and Nightmare. I want Nightmare! JoD's box promised we'd get to play "both in Nightopia and the dark world of Nightmare." Where's the Nightmare?! False advertising... ;
And there's probably a lot more, but I can't think of it at the moment. Wow, I make long posts. And it's late. ^^;

I'm fine with cut scenes, the ones in Sonic Unleashed (PS360 version) are amazing. Just not the way they came out in JoD, all graphically terrible and such.I'm one of those weirdo-crazy people who actually still wants cutscenes. They're fun. C'mon, now, everyone loves poking fun at them. XD Just goes to show that you can't please everyone (unfortunately).

The only problem with this is though, i think NiGHTS as a series would have to have a few more games under it's belt before it could attempt something like this. But i would like to see it.
And although i don't actually mind the voice acting in the game, i'd go with having no voices for the next one. Or maybe an option to either use the voices or just have text on the screen instead. Cutscenes are fine, i enjoy them so no beef there.
And finally, i agree. JoD's gameplay changed too much from what made NiD amazing. The reason you don't see people playing JoD to get higher scores is because it feels fake. You're not actually getting highscores in the way NiD would let you and that's what made NiD competitive and replayable. Websites like ScoreAttack.net put people against each other to get higher scores on NiD. In JoD you're forced to chase the birds and get the keys, not even allowed to do multiple laps if you do get the key on a mare. And that really did annoy me.
So, in a nutshell, a custom dreamer option so all of us can have our own experience in a NiGHTS story, the option to choose between voice and/or text during cutscenes and a revert back to the old level style. Chasing birds is not fun. It really isn't.

1. The return of Jackle. Never played NiD and I want to see him darn it!
2. The ability to play as Reala outside of versus mode. Seriously, how awesome would it be to do that? Sure, he's on the 'evil' side, but who cares? Anyone want to see what things are like on his end? Or at least cause some mischief? I'm asking because I want to know more about the guy who pops in, fights (sometimes), then retreats... @_@
3. More exploration as the Visitors. Come on! It's fun! I want to find an elevator and walk on clouds. Is that so much to ask? ...Maybe. >.>
4. Teamed-up bosses. (Not really a want, more like an interesting thing to think on.) Here's the thing: During a boss fight, there's two bosses fighting you. Like Puffy and Donbalon trying to off you. Weird, but it might work. Recommended for "rematches" as in...let's say you beat the game and go to fight one of the normal bosses again. This time you'll have the chance to fight a teamed-up duo as well as the singular boss. Choose one and go.
5. Jackle in versus mode. You hear me?! Jackle! He's like the third sibling. Don't leave him out. T_T
6. Have the girl like sports and the boy like music...or something. Volleyball and piano, just toss things up a bit.
7. An on-foot mission where you play a game with the Nightopians. Because they're basically kids (the Pians) it could be tag or hide n' seek or something.
8. On Halloween, you should skin swap with Jackle. (Never played NiD, but darned it we need more of him since he was absent from JoD.)
9. Bring back Reala Day. T_T
10. Instead of Dream Drops, Tarot Cards. Jackle's dropped them everywhere. Find them, and he's open in versus mode. @_@
11. Nightopians randomly sing "Dreams Dreams" in the levels. Never really checked myself, but...
12. NiGHTS shouldn't be so close to the Door in the Nightopias. Put him/her out farther so you have to run to him/her...or take up a pair of skates or something...
Meh. All I got for now. Really would like to see Jackle again...erm, for the first time. Sorry, I've seen NiD vids. We need him back. @_@
Edit: Oooo... Yes. Custom Dreamer option... @_@ Somehow Dark Cloud 2 comes to mind where you could change which clothes the protagonists wore. Pumpkin Shorts for you, a Two Tone Hat for you... No! No overalls!

As for the Marens themselves, I really would like a little more light shed on them. Like how much do NiGHTS and Reala still care about each other, if at all? Or why Wizeman would rather
Meh, that's just me. I like my games for their stories. It's what gets me hooked.

Oooh now that would be cool, seeing NiGHTS and Wizeman being all badass and ruining kids dreams together.Thought: If we got another game it'd be a good opportunity to show some backstory; seeing NiGHTS in action as a pure Nightmaren, showing how he gradually decided to turn against Wizeman.

And about what Noctourne Wonderland said...
Jeez...now I'm suddenly wanting to know exactly what makes First-Levels so special (besides being humanoid).

Eh, I dunno. I was just trying to think of something that made sense. I didn't believe the last one too much, but in a sense, it can make sense if you look hard enough. I would just think that

Conversely, a trip through a terrifying nightmare would be a perfect tension-builder before Wizeman's reveal, rather than the final party in Nightopia that we see in the cities.
