My friend RebelNightmaren wanted to make a poll regarding this very question over on dA, but without a paid membership, she wasn't able to. She submitted a journal about it there and made a post via Tumblr, but I figured it might be a better idea to post such a question where, surely, there's other SEGA and NiGHTS fans that would gladly give their two cents on the idea.
She's also here as a member under the same name, but she's still a bit shy when it comes to forums. Hence, why I'm the one who created this thread.
So, what do you guys think about a game that focuses on the Nightmaren instead of the dreamers? She would like as many opinions as possible, so your honest input certainly matters!
I never played NiGHTS into dreams... or Journey Into Dreams, but I take it both titles centered on the dreamers themselves moreso than the titular character?

That certainly would be interesting!

Basically yes. Journey of Dreams is a bit deeper, since it has actual cutscenes featuring NiGHTS interacting with the dreamers, Reala, Wizeman, etc. But they don't specifically take much focus on NiGHTS' personal story or the Nightmarens' side of things.
If NiGHTS takes place in a dream world, then surely the world doesn't exist without the dreamers. Much like The Neverending Story world wouldn't exist without someone reading it.
