Cubia's Return

Post by shadow of skeith »

So, after gaining some really important information, I decided to post another interesting factor into the .hack//LINK mix. Now that Tokio's just begining his journey to save "The World" I now have this feeling. Could it be possible, that Cubia will return? Since, eventually, Tokio will discover some secrets about the game that no one else knows about, which will probably disrupt some things and possibly bring the beast back.

As long as there is a Key of the Twilight, Cubia will always, and because "The World" is full of giant unbelievable crap, it will always happen.

Why the hell not? EVERYONE ELSE is coming back. It'd totally rule, though, if we got human Cubia. Then I can enjoy Link better AND be right about it being non-canon. It'd rule so hard.

Nah, because inevitably Cubia has to be a returning character if at all, and he won't be recognized in his human form unless there was a precedent.

Then it would be non-canon if he appears in Link because XXXX is non-canon since IMOQ is canon

Yea, no ****? What do you think I was talking about, genius? I'm talking about a precedent in actual canon.

God dammit, do you really think I wouldn't of known? I probably read XXXX before you even heard about it.

Just becuase he was human in XXXX, doesent mean he cant be human in a canon storyline. We wouldent recognize him, but we would probaly find out his identity sooner or later.

*Head+wall*

Do you people not understand context? I meant if Cubia came back exactly as he was in XXXX and was REMEMBERED AS SUCH. Jesus, people. I know I use tough words, but meet me halfway here.

Then again, Cubia WILL have a new look, monster or human, since the design drastically changed from the original .hack// games to XXXX to G.U. every time. I know in LINK, CC2 will use an even more abstract-looking Cubia, possibly.

Who knows if Cubia will return or not. However, with so many factors occuring in LINK there might be even more than one. If this is accurate and data from the past is being restored then the worse case senario of 3 to 4 Giant Monsters with the ability to spawn multiple Gormara = Ownage. Historically there are three. But since Cubia is run by a single program then I doubt that possiablity. On a side note about the Key of the Twilight though its already been established that its a guide to the truth. Dose anyone else think that the Akashic Records fit the best despription of the Twilight Key known by normal players? "A item that can grant any wish in The World" Seeing as how the Akashic Records manages data in The World and having its power can grant Godlike Control?

That sounds like the purpose of the "Twilight dragon" than the twilight key to me.

Historically there's been two, actually, and they're all just incarnations of the same beast, awakening when it must.

Agreed.

As I've told you before, the Twilight Dragon isn't an object like that. The Key of the Twilight is a philosophical manifestation of the Truth, whether it's the truth to happiness, or the truth of Za Warudo. The Twilight Dragon is a person or entity who can defeat the Cursed Wave.

Hmm, your right. In The World there have only been two appearances. However, I was also counting the Cubia from .hack//Epitaph of Twilight. I don't think they are from the same program though.

We shouldn't count **** from Tasogare no Hibun until it's done. I learned the hard way from Cell how that bites you in the ass. For all we know, Lara might not even be in Za Warudo.

Cubia must come back. How could you have a major, and canon part of the Dot Hack story without Cubia. Also that would really piss alot of Dot Hack fans off. We would be hearing this every where. Where is Cubia? WTF no Cubia in Link?
