.hack//G.U., Vol. 1 // Rebirth - Discussions + Marked Spoilers.

[AbeChinchilla]

Even a lesser known title should get it's own thread.
Let's start out with a role call.

Who's interested in this game?
Who bought this game?
Did you get the Special Edition?
Have you played the game?
What did you think of the "conclusion?" (mark spoilers!)


Please use spoiler tags to discuss thoughts on the ending and any other events that could spoil another player's enjoyment.


Abe:
Pre-ordered the special edition since late August. Picked it up on street date. October 25th. The Haseo (first form) figure is fantastic and sexy. It took a while, but I managed to get him to take it up the butt.

Beat the game early last week, clocking in at 43:30:41. My current Clear Data save is now at 62 hours, and I still have some bounties to hunt.

I love the English cast, and I'm not upset at all that BandaiNamco didn't include a voiceover option (but if Bandai really gets Ocean Studios to dub .hack//Roots, I will be VERY displeased).

Going to start a sub-thread for the ending (SPOILERS!)

<span style='color:#dddddd;background:#dddddd'>The easiest outcome that you could come up with is that Atoli is a "Lost One," but I do not believe this to be so. Atoli is evidentally the same as Tsukasa now. She is unable to log out from The World, this is because her status is always "Busy" now. She is deinitely online. Stuck in that locker room, but still logged in. Then again, this could be a resting place for the lost ones...</span>

Oh, that final battle with <span style='color:#dddddd;background:#dddddd'>Azure Flame God</span> kicked ass.

Even though Online Jack is an anime, I think it's still qualified to be discussed here.

There probably shouldn't be a need for any spoiler marks, but I'll do them anyway.

I just want to make it clear that in Online Jack Phase #2, <span style='color:#dddddd;background:#dddddd'>the boy who says "Sakaki" is NOT Atoli, because he couldn't possibly be Atoli. The people who thought this obviously didn't get around to watching Online Jack until after they finished the game. This isn't a good idea, as it will throw you off on the timeline. Phase #2 is released not too long in the MIDDLE of Vol. 1, which means Atoli is still an active member in your party.</span>

Ahaha, I had to look up what "Online Jack" was. "A new .hack anime??? OMG!"
"Oh. Wait..."

So, for those like me who didn't realise, .hack//Online Jack is basically what Liminality was to the first series except instead of being on a different disk (but still with the game.) This anime series is actually accessed through the game itself, right?

Coolness :D. I heard that GU didn't come with a seperate anime OVA disk, so I was sad. But it's great to hear there IS still an OAV :D.

Anyhoo, in answer to Abe's Questions...



Who's interested in this game?
Meeeee~

Who bought this game?
Me again! Bought it the day it was released. (well, actually, the day after.)


Did you get the Special Edition?
Yes indeed-y ^^ .
My Haseo figure hangs out with my pinky:st figures and my Nash figure from Suikogaiden. Unfortunately, Nash and Haseo don't get along. Possibly due to a height issue. Oh and the pinky:st girls (and the one who I put together to look more like a boy :D) all want Haseo's sexy sexy bod. Much to Nash's annoyance.

.....I believe I've stated before that I'm weird?



Have you played the game?

Erm... no.... not yet. *cough* Currently Tales of the Abyss and Phantasy Star Universe are taking up all my gaming time ^^;. If I tried to play GU at this point, I'd just get confused. I plan to start on GU after I finish up Abyss though. Erm... whenever that is.


What did you think of the "conclusion?" (mark spoilers!)
Well, I haven't played the game yet, so I can't say. Ahaha, and I've only seen the first episode of ROOTS.
But yeah, I'm desperately trying to avoid spoilers. Though I've already briefly heard of a few so far v_v . Not too many though.

Who's interested in this game?
Me of course silly.

Who bought this game?
Well thats a very silly answer of course I did.

Did you get the Special Edition?
You best believe I did.

Have you played the game?
Oh yeah you best believe it

What did you think of the "conclusion?"
Loved it and hated it. I loved it because it left me wanting more. I hated it because now I have to wait.
