I think that they are estimating it will be here around september.

I think between August and September. Thats the best estimate. I guess i should be on the lookout for more trailers and videos though

Oh, a late summer/early fall release would be so sexy...

I know. That would help before school starts in september for some of us. Would be the best summer ever. Playing a perfect .hack// game.

I'm pretty sure it's been officially announced it's planned for September. The English demo of G.U. is kinda like the FFXII one, it's out waaay before localization work is complete. And both games are of comparable size (actually G.U. likely has many more cutscenes, if not more text). 2 might not take that long though. I get the impression from CC2 talking about how they're finishing up 3 that 2 is all ready to go in Japan, and consequently they might already be working on the American version. Most of the wait in between will probably be for marketing reasons, and I would be surprised to see 2 out for Christmas...

Yeah, I mean the one being used at E3 and for reviewers.

I could get the link to work but no matter I found it, very cool but I thought there would be different choices during that special attack..but they all said Gale Blade...and the power up chainsword move was awsome..they actual animatied the chain during some of those attacks very sweet...also that was the first time I saw the gun steamer use his weapon for shooting..I only seen them use it as a blade.

well that was a demo or maybe in the real game you can chose your skills

Church · Post by **Church** » Sat May 13, 2006 7:57 am

I agree. Demos just show you demonstrations on the game. I am sure that you get to choose your attacks.

Nenja · Post by **Nenja** » Sun May 14, 2006 8:48 am

did any one notice that Atoli casted a Blue Spell on the monsters that did damage.

Church · Post by **Church** » Sun May 14, 2006 9:55 am

Yeah. I noticed that too. I thought the Harvest class did only Defensive and Healing spells.

AlphaBlades · Post by **AlphaBlades** » Sun May 14, 2006 10:10 am

Meh, it might just be like the White Mage's ability to use Holy. White Mages are primarily healers but Holy is still an offensive spell.

marthwmaster · Post by **marthwmaster** » Sun May 14, 2006 12:17 pm

Healers are usually able to cast limited offensive magic, otherwise they would be next to impossible to play unless you had a reliable group to party with every time you logged on. It's actually possible to solo as a Priest in WoW. Takes a heck of a long time to kill anything, but if you can avoid too much unwanted attention, you can survive indefinitely through self-healing.
Similarly, I wonder if the Warlocks have limited defensive magic? Probably not, but still a possibility.

Dengar · Post by **Dengar** » Sun May 14, 2006 5:50 pm

Actually, Harvests might also have offensive support spells. You know, that weaken enemies.

Maromi · Post by **Maromi** » Sun May 14, 2006 6:28 pm

Not that it's a big deal, and it might only be used for this demo version, but I don't see any reason to change the Tension meter to "Morale."

A new .hack video I think was put up on the .hack site.

First go here.

Click the Gamesystem tab and then Movie and at the top is a new video that shows Haseo walking through the SacredZones in The World.
