Rayman General Discussion Thread

Also, I dislike using the "Nymphs created Rayman" backstory when it's clearly scrapped and contradicted by the PS Vita version of Rayman Origins and Rayman Mini.
What part of those games out of curiosity? I’ll admit I’m kinda biased because I kinda liked that lore because it works as a nice callback to Rayman 2 with Rayman being stated to be the one being Polokus didn’t dream. Plus I find it kinda cool Jano was a part of his backstory.

Rayman Origins (PS Vita) - Shows a Rayman "backstory" that reveals that how he got his hair and shows him with Raynette, a female member of his species despite the fact that Rayman was created with his hair and the only one without limbs.

Rayman Mini - Reveals that Mr. Dark is still limbless when, again, Rayman is supposedly the only one created without limbs.

Also, weirdly enough, the manual for Origins itself seems to imply that the Nymphs didn't create Rayman, just summoning him instead. Even though they say Rayman was born, it also states they only invoked him.

Also, this line exists:

"Legend has it that Rayman first came to the Glade of Dreams to defeat the nightmare creatures and banish them to the lower realms" The line would've been something like "Legend has it that Rayman was created to defeat the nightmares". And speaking of this line...

I think Rayman coming to the Glade to defeat the Nightmares is a better callback to Rayman 2 since it gives a reason as to why Rayman randomly showed up there one day.

Good catch on the “invoke” line. Honestly didn’t notice that.

Idk regarding the rest. What does everyone else think?

Thinking about it, but remind me, was it mentioned in Rayman Origins that Rayman is the only limbless one in the Glade? I only can remember it explicitly mentioned in the Rayman 2 manual.

Not really, no. Polokus talks about the Nymphs giving Rayman limbs, but the other limbless characters aren't ever brought up.
