Being one of Wizeman's strongest creations, their purpose was to do evil, destroy the world of dreams and steal a type of human's dream energy called Ideya, so that their master could open a portal to the Waking World. NiGHTS was created by the God of Nightmare, Wizeman the Wicked. Īlso according to Yuji Naka, they wanted to differ NiGHTS' name from the word "Nights." Therefore, they had the idea of writing all of the letters in NiGHTS' name but the "i" in uppercase, an idea imagined from the gem on NiGHTS' chest. Īccording to Yuji Naka, NiGHTS symbolizes "The Shadow" archetype from the works of the psychoanalysts Carl Jung about human subconscious and they have a jester-like appearance because jesters can look cheerful and happy, but also evil and mean spirit, fitting with the world of the dreams thematic. Someone people would look at and think, “the future looks bright”. In an interview, Ohshima revealed that the major influence in the creation of NiGHTS was the wish to make a positive character who would be suitable for the dawn of a new era, a character who would be ready to greet the 21st century. When Sega announced the sequel game, NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams, Ohshima had already left the company by that point, so Hoshino was placed in charge of all character design for NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams. Naoto Ohshima created the original design of NiGHTS themself, with Kazuyuki Hoshino being the character designer for NiGHTS into Dreams.
