I also agree that he is a guy. I saw a site on the default/original names of the characters. The main character was the hero, Purim was the girl and instead of calling the third character the boy, they just called him the sprite.
Like Duran said, he also liked the idea of gnome saying that his Purim's husband and he also ate all of the food when being captured on the empire ship. Now how many girls do that? Not any that I now for sure!
And lastly, his grandpa also calls him little tyke which is used more for boys then girls. He has long hair since his a spirite, but that doesnt't mean that his a girl. I used to have long hair when I was small and I'm not a girl. Short hair seems to suit me better now though. Well ok, those are my reasons why I think that the sprite is a guy and not a girl and it seems that most people agree with me too on that.

I'm wanting to know what the Japanese version of the game says at the points when the English one clearly states the Sprite is a guy... that would be an interesting thing to know.
I'm gonna dig around in my guide and see if it mentions anything.
Also, Tallon, that statement on making babies through sheer magic is pretty hilarious.

Clearly you havent watch japanese anime. For some reason the girls in the anime are very hungry. Since this game is from Japan, the Sprite can be a girlDanny wrote:Like Duran said, he also liked the idea of gnome saying that his Purim's husband and he also ate all of the food when being captured on the empire ship.

Danny, you have already stated that you think sprite is a boy, no need to state it twice. Sometimes I wonder if you forgot you posted saying a thing already and then post again to say the same thing.
Im not telling you to stop posting, just wanna know if you sometimes forget
Oh yeah sorry anout that. I do often forget what I have already writen since I don't usally check the older replies. It's a dumb habit I know, but I'll brake it. So, should I delete the other reply that restates what I already said or should I just stop doing it from now on. Sorry about.
The guys still tend to eat more then girls in animes though. Example: Dbz: Goku eats non stop and pretty much all the guys to, but not the girls.

When I first played SoM, I had no knowledge of the game's history, lore, or anything -- so I assumed the Sprite was male. I even named the Sprite "Damien"
But now (after I've gained bit of knowledge )and after looking over my taped up instruction booklet the Sprite is referred to as "it" So I go with that -- A genderless, purely magical being.

I've got long hair, too (not *that* long, but...). As for a girl eating loads of food? Some of 'em, you wonder where they put it... so yeah, it happens. I still think the Sprite's a guy, however. ???Danny wrote:I also agree that he is a guy. I saw a site on the default/original names of the characters.

Honestly, I don't really think it matters. I will note, however, that calling the Sprite "it" removed from the producer's lap the task of coming up with a complicated side story for... "it" - and except for that scene with Gnome, they admittedly DID get away with running through the course of the game without once having to deal with any sort of romantic relationship involving the Sprite. It also provided for anyone to be able to enjoy playing as the Sprite, regardless of their actual gender, and not raise any childish questions like "so hey, why're you playin' as a girl?" which every guy knows falls right in line with every bully's favorite style of harassment.
