Description I got NiGHTS journey of dreams yesterday. I gotta say, so far this has been one of the most enjoyable wii games I ever played, and I'm not just saying that because I'm totally fanboying over NiGHTS either. Its kind of a shame that Elliot and Claris didn't come back, but the new kids are just like them, the boy loves a sport (this time its soccer instead of basketball) and the girl loves music (violin rather than singing) And NiGHTS has a VOICEACTOR! HE TALKS!! Unfortunately, he has the voice of a young British kid, that, combined with his ability to dualize with both boys and girls makes me wonder...what is NiGHTS' gender supposed to be!? I swear they go through extraordinary lengths not to use pronouns in the manual, I coulda sworn at least once they refer to NiGHTS as an "it." There was a NiGHTS into Dreams comic book a long time ago where it was obvious that he was a guy, but I'm not sure if that's cannon with the games.

Ok, lamenting too long on the gender of androgynous dream jesters...

edit: I made a snap judgment, Eliot and Claris were not available off the bat so I assumed they weren't in the game, but I now know that they can be unlocked by collecting all 60 dream drops.

edit #2: By the way, I am fully aware that NiGHTS' voice actor is a woman, but then again so is Bart Simpson's, so I don't go by that as a defining characteristic. Also, this was supposed to be a little joke, I didn't expect to get nearly 100 comments of people speculating themselves 0_0. Still, your feedback is welcome and I thank you for all the favs, collections, and especially comments (this has become one of my most popular submissions.)

For freaking fracking sake. Nights is a being from the realm of dreams. Do they really need a gender?

Amy: I don't know if you ever learned of this, but NiGHTS is officially genderless. The character was designed with the intention that the players themselves could decide for themselves whether NiGHTS is male or female. They did this partially to appeal to a wider audience, but also to make the game more "dream-like". The reason the manual avoids using pronouns is because English lacks gender-neutral pronouns and it is rude to call a person "it". The character is referred to as male in the game, but only because of the aforementioned problem with the English language. I believe the Japanese version uses gender-neutral pronouns.

So basically, NiGHTS is whatever you decided he/she is.

I think NiGHTS had more of a British accent, as the main city Bellbridge is based off of London.

My headcanon is that NiGHTS' gender varies depending on the Visitor they Dualize with. If it's a boy, he's a male. If it's a girl, she's a female.

I prefer to think, as a Nightmaren, being a creature forged of pure dream essence, NiGHTS can be whatever he wants to be.

I just think of him as a "he" because that was my first impression of him.

Also, if he ever showed up in my dreams, that would be my first question too.

(got some dang long eyelashes though...)

NiGHTS was meant to be sexless, so it would be up to the player as to if NiGHTS was a boy or girl. I'd say boy. The kind of boy you'd call a pretty boy, as a complement not an insult.

It is really your decision whether NiGHTS is male or female. For me, 'she' defaults as female.

Can't really blame Sonic for asking.

Fore those who are asking: NiGHTS is genderless, Even though sometimes I can't get that through my own head half the time. NiGHTS and all Nightmarens are genderless. In the english version, NiGHTS was referred to as a 'he' because nobody wanted to use 'it'.

Also, it was mentioned that the Nightmarens do not have gender, and not just NiGHTS, but the others don't have gender either.
