i do see the point of wander. But come on for god's sake! It only took 4-5 months to be relased in Japan and then all the americans has to do is translate it that is all! The Japan creators made it FROM scratch! and the americans are to damn lazy to get up off their asses to work on it! Thank you that is all. *bows*

I guess.. everyone is forgetting that the American Edition is getting a bonus scene or whatever... that wasn't included in the japanese release.. so instead of bitchin about an american being lazy.. (those whom are complaining) be happy that:

1. We're getting vol 2

2. We're getting extra content

and

3. That'll probably come within two or three months. (speculating)

It really doesn’t matter when they release it, were all going to buy it anyway even if it came out 2 years from now. Most people won't keep themselves from buying it because of a couple extra months wait. Lets just be happy it's even coming out in the U.S.

I'm sure that in the game development process, publishing process, licensing process, reformatting process, production process, marketing process, and communications between all of these processes is really, really, really difficult. You think you can do better?

Give the BandaiNamco guys a break. They're trying their best.

Hey that's my line!

I think some people have misunderstood what's going on here. There is no complaining to B.N., no bitching about the release date. These are just people letting off steam, and talking to you guys. It's normal some people (including myself) are upset about the fact that B.N. has given no concrete information so far. Is that how you people react when people let off steam with you? Tell them "Go away" in synonims? Bah...

With all due respect man, but you are bitching about our "bitching". So you are a bitcher too, but in a different subject.

release date 3-15-07?

That's old news that's more or less been completely debunked as fake. I'm not saying it's 100% impossible for it to come out on the 15th but at this point they'ed need a small miracle to pull it off.

Unless BN is more insane then I thought they'd advertise the game alot at least a couple weeks before it came out, and at the very least they'd probally want to let game stores like EB games know that the game is coming.

But then again they could still surpise us but I wouldn't hold my breath.

I agree. But judging from all da work they're got'a have to do (considering what they have to do even when they're gonna release it on April) I think it's gonna take more then just a "small" miracle to make it happen.

Well, even though I did hope that the March 15th release date was true, I guess there is no use complaining. Just have to wait a little bit longer for the game I wanted for three months.

Marioshinobi · Post by **Marioshinobi** » Fri Mar 09, 2007 6:13 pm

This topic is gonna get locked from all the complaining..

I agree, they should at least tell us a date rather then a season. (( For all you know it could mean the summer after this summer )) But what're you gonna do? When life gives you lemons..make a lemondade stand and save up money for the game.

Seriously whining at this point won't change anything, especially on these forums. Rememebr that these forums don't have any actual official power? Go send a email to the creators, not whine here where it means practically nothing.

Extra content wont change it by much.

The americans have to translate and put a new scene in.

The japanese people had to create a new game, make around 24 scenes.

It took 5 months to be released in Japan.

Takes like 9 months to come to North america.

They are either lazy or have givin up on .hack in NA and dont care about the game anymore.

... do you realy belive a game can be created in like 5 months?
the fact that there was 5 months betwen the relase of vol 1 and vol 2 doesn´t necesary mean they made the whole game during that time... ¬_¬

For what we know the 5 months of wait could´ve been just a marketing strategy... like those used in the movies. (kill bill 1 and 2 or pirates of the caribean 2 and 3... for example)

Namco Bandai Said SUMMER, get over it... they gave us info... the fact that you don´t like it or can´t accept it is a whole diferent thing.
The game could already be complete for what we´ve seen but if they don´t want it to be out before SUMMER then that´s how it´s gonna be. (and we can do nothing about it... so just accept it as a fact and try to move on with your lives, assuming you have one... with some luck it will come out before summer and we will all be happy)

BTW this is not a complain desk so no whining please...

who said they were making a whole new game....all there doing is translating everything to english.true,they have to rewrite the coding from japanese to english.put them in different region codes and then have the VAs be recorded then put on,but they should have been doing that when they were doing volume two and have both be release days after each other(like KH2)B.N. wants to be an asshole and let the japans play it out before we do get to play the real good stuff.

March 9, 2007 - "Namco Bandai's .hack series has had a successful run in the PlayStation 2 market for the last several years and hopes to continue that trend with the release of .hack//G.U. Vol. 2: Reminisce in May. Picking up directly after the end of G.U. Vol. 1, the game continues the story of Haseo and friends as they set out to rid the online MMO known as "The World" of all its current problems."

Tenji · Post by **Tenji** » Sat Mar 10, 2007 9:39 am

i was talking about the japanese version...
just making a point for those that are saying that:

"the japanese did the whole game within 5 months so why does the north american are taking 9 only to translate it"

A game can´t be done in 5 months. for what we know... they could´ve made both of them at the same time... and the wait of 5 months could´ve just been marketing... (like what is done in the movies)

Now... Talking about the American version:

Namco Bandai Said SUMMER, get over it... they gave us info... the fact that you don´t like it or can´t accept it is a whole diferent thing.
The game could already be complete for what we´ve seen but if they don´t want it to be out before SUMMER then that´s how it´s gonna be. (and we can do nothing about it... so just accept it as a fact and try to move on with your lives, assuming you have one... with some luck it will come out before summer and we will all be happy)

get my point now?

May sounds good, considering that everyone will be done with God of War 2 by then. I really don't want to see Reminisce get crushed by GOW2 if it did come out this month.

PSU was quite popular and i don't think rebirth was crushed even with its simultaneous release, unless there are some numbers i haven't seen which is completely possible.

The only reason that they say MAY is because it's the start of Q3. Like us, they are just speculating.

Date Posted: 3/10 12:28pm Subject: .hack//Reminisce: GU Vol.2 thread (lots of information) - Date Edited: 3/10 12:32pm (1 edits total) Edited By: chickensandwich555

.hack//Reminisce is the title of the next .hack game to come out, the sequel to //Rebirth and the second game in the GU trilogy. //Reminisce takes place the instant where //Rebirth left off. New battle features and Haseo goes through another expansion to get the Flicker ability of wielding a scythe. the Steam Bike is used for more things now, such as mini-games and guild challenges and the guild Canard receives a much bigger @Home. New arts and spells are made available and Light and Dark spells are able ti be used in the next game. Crimson VS, a card game that is .hack themed but takes place outside of "The World" is able to played now and a new Root Town is accessible in Reminisce.

Release Date:
//Reminisce has no set release date yet but Bandai/Namco says it will come out in the Summer.

"...NAMCO BANDAI Games and Cyber Connect 2 are hard at work to bring .hackÂ®//G.U.Â® Vol. 2: Reminisce to the North American market this summer! Some may wonder where the title Reminisce came from and after interviewing the localization team, I was able to uncover the truth [note: this is Salvador Aihara speaking in the blog]! The title Reminisce refers to the fact that we should all be thinking hard about our past when going into the future. How can we combat new problems if we do not reflect about how we solved issues in the past?"

Think about when Vol 3 will come out and cry =D

Seriously guys, stop whining. Doing it here won't help, remember this is just a forum and not a official website connected to the game whatsoever?

Send a email to the producers if you feel like whining, don't bother here unless you have some information.

Atleast we know we are getting Vol. 2. Europe has yet to get confirmation on Vol. 1 rather the series as a whole.

rem · Post by **rem** » Mon Mar 12, 2007 1:23 pm

Anyways.. should it not be coming soon.. I mean since we have the opening video for the game.. isn't that an indicator that the game is close?

Like for the previous vol, we had one of the opening video a week or so before the release of the game?
