Re: Translation of Archive 05

Thanks for all your hard work. This really does give a better perspective on what's been going on behind the scenes. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for whatever you have next.

Re: Discussion on the mechanics as explored in the lore

On this last one. I believe its just that the phases are similar to Tsukasa in that they don't require virus cores to travel to a forbidden area, and are unique enough on their own that they can navigate the system better than any player could because they are deeply part of the system itself. The ...

Discussion on the mechanics as explored in the lore

After rewatching KonoSuba and being reminded about .hack/SAO death battle scenarios again, I began to wonder about how these game breaking mechanics would work outside the original setting, which led to me wondering about them within the lore. So I decided I'd ask my fellow compatriots for their tho...

Re: The "I beat Volume 4!" Thread.

It was nice to revisiting that world, the characters and the lore surrounding them. Plot was decent, if a little shonen-esque, while giving new incite into things relative to the present plot and beyond. Presentation was great, though the occasional jittering of the animation at times irked me. Musi...

Re: .hack//G.U. Last Recode

For you guys already playing, how's the difficulty so far? I remember it being said that it was being toned down, but I'm a little curious to what degree. Also, is there a difference in difficulty between Vol 1-3 and Vol 4?

Re: .hack//G.U. Last Recode

New gameplay video (Beware spoilers). Very lengthy. I skipped around to avoid spoilers, but it shows off scenes and gameplay for Vol 1-3 and probably Vol 4's beginning (spoilers). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndlSonoeVWM EDIT: Welp, looks like the video was taken down. Also a bit of information r...

Yeah. Even if they do release it before the game drops, I'll probably just avoid it. It'd spoil the experience.

Re: Dreams, Morgana and Mental Manipulation in The World

By the way, did they even address her by name in SIGN? I don't recall ever hearing it spoken. Oops, I goofed up on that one. My brain started leaning back towards the games again. The most I remember them getting was "she" from Tsukasa. Also, by not having her speak in the games, and by h...

Re: Dreams, Morgana and Mental Manipulation in The World

I feel Morganna's more overt presence works better in SIGN. Her whole plan hinges on swaying Tsukasa's emotions in the way that benefits her survival via Aura's degregation, so she has to make a personal connection with our lead, which connects her as a character to the viewers. Through her voice, w...

Re: Dreams, Morgana and Mental Manipulation in The World

Morganna trusted Elk to hold to his bargain as she doesn't send a Drain Heart after him and had he not taken the blow for Kite, Morganna would have won. Now that's something I never considered before and would lend more credence to there being a pact between the two. I think they realized their mis...

Re: Dreams, Morgana and Mental Manipulation in The World

I'd forgotten about that. This whole topic really hinges on that factor. Thanks for pointing that out. That brings us back to the possibility that she could mind-read Kite's party, though. Something else I just thought about is Elk stealing the Vaccine program which led to Morgana creating a counter...

Re: Dreams, Morgana and Mental Manipulation in The World

If that is true, then was it possible for Morgana to read Tsukasa's mind? I'm not sure it's been touched on in the series proper, so I can't know if CC2 thought of its possibility and/or decided to ignore it for sake of the plot. A normal player's thoughts exist outside the game, so Morgana wouldn't...

Dreams, Morgana and Mental Manipulation in The World

So I decided to go back and rewatch SIGN on the road to Last Recode and something I noticed really got me thinking. At the start of the episode Party, Tsukasa dreams of playing with Aura, before being assaulted by her with a knife. When he looks at her face, it's Subaru's. We know Morgana has been m...

Was hoping for maybe around 6 or 7 hours, but no need to drag it out if the story doesn't warrant as much. We can always drag our feet with the story if we want to play more. However, I wonder what side content there may be based on the story's length? Also, looks like Ovan may become an active part...
