Oh and some games are better off without Voice Acting. Zelda being one of them. I mean, its like reading a book and then seeing a movie. Sometimes its just better to read and imagine the voices than it is to actually hear someone elses idea of the voice.

In my opinion, the game needs to have as little dialogue as possible. The original NiGHTS game was very open-ended to the point where you could give all the characters their own personalities and names yourself. NiGHTS is great in that no two people experience it in the same way. Dialogue and voice acting limit that severely. This is also why Link has barely uttered a word -- in text or otherwise -- since his inception.
Keep voice acting and dialogue out of this game. Keep the tradition.

I agree with the narrator part. But, instead of in a actual language, it would be a dude or a chick person, speaking Nightmaren, with subtitles that go with the region. Then, at the end of the game, it would be Claris and Elliot.I think of NiGHTS as a character that normally doesn't really talk. Reala, Jackle, Wizeman perhaps, but I figure NiGHTS would remain relatively quiet. Other than the little grunt he gives when injured. So, no unless it becomes necessary to tell the story or add depth; maybe have a narrator or something..? But it's gotta be tasteful, yo. The Japanese track would most likely turn out fine, but I'd be weary of the English one.. after all, English dubs of Sonic games tend to be rather grating..

Hmm.. like in Rayman, or Okami, or Shadow of the Colossus, or Panzer Dragoon..Nightopia's own language.. interesting idea, that could work

QFTHumans speaking would be fine. If NiGHTS talked, it would be okay with me if he only said junk like "OUCH!" and "REALA, HOW COULD YOU DO THIS?!" You know, the basics. No big speeches.

But if there is voice acting, it better not be like dubbed Sailor Moon.

No. Just... no. ONE, as we all know, nightmaren are genderless. Voice acting may ruin this, as they might cast a girl's voice for NiGHTS when you have some fans (Like myself) who refur to NiGHTS as male and be VERY dissapointed. Or they might cast a girl for Reala, which WOULD make fans cry another Niagra falls.
So, no. Voice acting for me is a no; at least for the maren anyway.

To be honest, I see the storyline of the original video game almost like ballet. Seriously, think about it. There's no dialogue and no singing -- instead, the story is told through costumes, sets, movements, expressions and music. It's beautiful. It's pure. The sequel needs to maintain that purity.
EXACTLY.

...OKAMI!... I love that game... The gibberish in that game worked surprisingly well, which would have been appreciated in Zelda TP because when Midna had her own little rant, she made gibberish sounds too, and then someone else would talk, and it would be silent, and it just went outta place. Maybe JoD will do something similar like yall are saying. (sorry, I'm a southern American. yall= you all contraction pronounced like it's spelled)

I think voice acting would put a damper on the game. They have big shoes to fill in for this one, I don't think they'd risk ruining the game's flow.
Who knows? Maybe they'll just do dialouge and no voice acting?
