Go on, little boy. Touch
NiGHTS. You know you want to.
More seriously, why did they have to give him a voice? (If you had to do it, it's kind of an appropriate voice -- androgynously pitched, vaguely exotic accent [Britishish, I think]. But you really didn't have to do it. Everyone else could have done the talking while NiGHTS stayed blissfully silent.)
Also, Owl. Owl is not... I don't know. We're definitely getting more of a definite "plot" here (in much the way that the Sonic Adventure games had more plot than the original Sonic games), which is interesting, but also a little disorienting. Owl doesn't look like a typical Nightopian to me. Strangely enough, he just doesn't look fantastical enough.
(It doesn't help that "wise owl character" is such a cliche. I didn't even like it Ocarina of Time, and at least there it seemed less out of place.)
