This is mostly speculation, but my theory is that  Cubia could only counter Aura and since the avatars are linked to Aura it distorted the balance between Aura and Cubia and so Cubia created the AIDAs to even out the playing field hence why the AIDAs have similar attributes to the avatars (attach themselves to players, capable of fighting in avatar space and apparently grow stronger as more avatars awaken).
So basically:
Aura-Avatars
| vs. | vs.
Cubia-AIDA

well, at this point, speculation becomes fact. the story's over, we chose from what we have what we believe to be the most likely, or alternatively the most interesting.

though I certainly think if AIDA turn out to have been something totally unrelated to the GU games in a new .hack game, I'd go crazy too. ;_;

nope.

but its still highly likely they are, and adds depth to their characters to boot. I'd say its best to just believe that.

I don't know the answer to that. It's probably not related to Midori, since she's a side plot. That'd be like introducing a plot element in IMOQ that could only be understood by reading AI Buster.
Second, where did Aura go after she 'disappeared'.
 Ovan's Right Arm.

More specifically, What does Skeith do particularly to save AINA and why is it so dramatic. It seems a little overdramatic to be necessary to save one unreturner unless there is a special cucumstance.
Not only is she an Unreturner, but she's an AIDA-PC who's infection rate is so high that Raven almost crashed when Pi tried to read her data. The amount of AIDA in her is the highest recorded, meaning she's more infected than Sakaki or Ovan.
Midori seems to be the logical case as  she is able to bring her illness into The World.
That has to be significant in some way, but I see your point as it should not be required to follow the story.

But Aura  disappears before R:2 is created, so it must be more complicated than that.

It all seems kind of anticlimactic in the end. There are way to many loose ends. In the end what was the purpose of GU?  To defeat Cubia and release Aura?

An Unreturner and a AIDA-PC?
If she is an AIDA-PC and has such a strong AIDA then why doesn't she have schemes of her own?

Is this infection rate from  Ovan infected her or when Ovan was infected?

Keeping in mind that, until we get the OVA, it doesn't seem that there will be an ending for GU...

Midori's illness is entirely unrelated to the AIDA, that is proven by the fact that AIDA fear the illness.

From the looks of it, there could be a .hack for the PS3 after all. I mean with alot of unanswered questions and storyline dept, they would have to make one.

The first impression I got from her was rather innocent.
She might be rather young and yet to bee affected of the bitterness of adulthood.

Well, I suppose due to the fact that  at the end of the epilouge, it says the exact same stuff as the end of the first game (ressurection, to the new future, blah, blah, blah...) there's always that possibility...
anyway "the world doesn't need an end" :P

Ok someone in a japanese board found this from THe World book, volume 12.


Apparently Kite/Tri-Edge was not created by CCorp but was really created as a soldier by  Aura

 Sakaki has lost all memories of AIDA, after awakening from the doll syndrome.

Haseo was chosen after the game, to be the "Best player online"

IN the scene where Shino does get up and leave, they never show her face. (ARG)

Apparently after  Ovan's sacrifice all unreturners came back.

Though Ovan's real want was to return Aina from being an "Unreturner" (Quoted for a reason)

Any information what Haseo's name means? Also anything about his acquaintance that is speculated to be Sora?

Well not nreally, though in Korean people always say Anyong haseo which is liek, How are you, ect. Though most people use it in blessing's I believe, so it can come out as a "How is your spirit" so I'm guessing Haseo is a religous term in a way.

*spoilers if true*

has anyone sceen the ending of hack unsion where kite is pondering why aura gave him the braclet agin. they had brought mia back but aura never took away the braclet after that. balmung said that having the braclet with morgona gone is just playing a game with a cheating tool. kite said he wanted to know why aura gave him the braclet. could it be that after the player kite left aura whanted to turn his data into a worrior program just in case somthing like this was to happen agin. that's also why she brought mia back. the tsn could have been created by ccorps but there is also a posibility it was auras idea.

I'm leaning more towards painfully obvious; before he was released from Ovan and took the form of a giant meteor he look and had all the exact same characteristics of an AIDA, which are way to many to be a coincidence.

I thought it wasn't that they wre strong AIDAs it was just she had a legion of AIDAs in her character, and my theory is that the AIDAs were much more interested in Sakaki infecting other players and becoming a demi-Morganna.

Yea, but the AIDA don't want anything to do with Midori at all, and infact avoid her. Midori's story has absolutely nothing to do with the main story with Unreturners, AIDA, Avatars, etc.
But Aura disappears before R:2 is created, so it must be more complicated than that.
No, it's not. She hid herself in the distributed Corbenic Epitaph, so that when the Corbenic PC-Body was made, CC Corp was totally unaware they put Aura in there.
It all seems kind of anticlimactic in the end. There are way to many loose ends. In the end what was the purpose of GU? To defeat Cubia and release Aura?
We've known the purpose of GU since the Terminal Disc was released. It was to bring back Aura, whether by forcing her back or by creating a new Ultimate AI to control the network.
An Unreturner and a AIDA-PC?
If she is an AIDA-PC and has such a strong AIDA then why doesn't she have schemes of her own?
Because AIDA don't make people evil. They just intensify emotions that are already there. For example, Bordeaux's rivalry with Haseo turning into hatred, Tenrawr's battle pride becoming bloodlust, etc. Aina only wanted to be with her brother. Not much for the AIDA to corrupt. Besides, they seemed to have been draining her thoughts and emotions instead of warping them, since her consciousness was corroding the entire time.
Is this infection rate from Ovan infected her or when Ovan was infected?
Huh?
Apparently Kite/Tri-Edge was not created by CCorp but was really created as a soldier by Aura.
What about Orca and Balmung? And the TSN?
I'm leaning more towards painfully obvious; before he was released from Ovan and took the form of a giant meteor he look and had all the exact same characteristics of an AIDA, which are way to many to be a coincidence.
Agreed, but I still want to know for sure.

Correct.
