I want the individuals to be the same however .hack is not famous for returning characters. 9 looks similar to Tokio, but it might not be the original version. As for the system look at the DLC for Asura's Wrath. No one has compared them but CC2 could have a generic fighting engine for their games. In addition I would not be surpised if the company grabbed ideas from Soul Calibur 5, since they worked with Project Soul as well. Namco's team handled the fighting engine but I doubt that excluded CC2 from examining the code.
Haven't really played any Soul Calibur games since Soul Calibur 2, just not that interested I guess, but the series fighting system is among some of the better ones out there. I doubt that .hack//Versus will have as complex of a system to work with, but as long as it is a blast to play I don't mind either way. I kind of doubt that Cyber Connect 2 would have been able to look at the code for the fighting engine as they only worked on the story and cutscenes for Soul Calibur 5, but if they did some aspects from it being applied to the Ultimate Ninja system would be pretty sweet.

I'm hoping they start showing screens of new characters soon because I'm still concerned that this game only has the three characters. I really wouldn't like it if this game had only the 3 to choose from because that would literally mean it is almost a complete waste of space on the disc. Here's hoping we get more information on new characters soon.

Incidentally there appears to be another Kite character besides Sora with the new screenshots.
http://andriasang.com/con0gv/hack_vs_sc ... ges/23vej/
This character has Kites markings, whereas Sora does not, and he has a similar shirt collar to the one he had in Link. Don't know if it is significant or not, but the art style is reminiscent of GU Trilogy's art style.
http://andriasang.com/con0gv/hack_vs_sc ... ges/23vei/
This image also shares the same art style which is not present in the previous movie or the game screenshots. Though the movie in the real world looks similar it doesn't have the crisp shading edges that are present in these images.

edit: Holy **** some of the images are not from the movie or the game in addition to the aforementioned ones.

Must be something else that comes with the pack.

@.@ Glad to see the new images are posted,my guess is that they are from Versus and covers the story.

Either that or some bonus anime but seeing as how it has Sora i'm assuming its part of Versus as the movie is CG ^.^

As for other characters in this pic http://www.famitsu.com/images/000/011/8 ... 11256.html you see 2 blank spaces and additionally the arrows to move left and right in the character selection. I'm guessing the "?" is random character select which wouldn't be that useful if there was only 2 characters, hopefully there will be plenty of characters to make an appearance @.@

EDIT -
I can not understand all the particles. However if we crack open some open amateur Japanese learning abilities. I think 9 is commenting on Kite (Sora)."He He... Such a separate person and what's more, now it is too late but..." - Someone might be able to correct the errors from here.

@Sadivinedevil: I believe the picture Kite of you described and the animations are from the production stage to The Other Side of The World.

Well isn't that a kick in the pants. I'm excited to see Ovan included and especially Tsukasa and but why Sakuya? Nothing against her, but now we have two notKites that aren't Kite and three characters with twin-blades now if we include Haseo. My hopes for Alkaid appearing are diminishing a little, but I'll keep believing and hopefully they'll announce an IMOQ character next time. Judging from the shots though, Hermit be on the field a lot more than Sora's party in her team special and Tsukasa will most probably play as a long distance fighter, so I'm curious to see how these play out. Will Sakuya allow you to control Hermit like the puppet-users in other fighters such as BlazBlue, Arcana Heart and Naruto of course. It'd be fun to see if they add status ailments into the mix like in P4U (didn't use items much in NUNS, so if they did, I wouldn't remember).

Finally some more characters, but I'm seriously wondering if every version of Kite will be in this game as that would get redundant. Hoping for some characters from before G.U.

There is more cause for a smile today. I have not seen Quantum Introduction. But at the minimum I feel Hermit and Sakuya deserve some sort of extended conclusion. Don't feel to bad Haseo is a multi-weapon. Alkaid was Matsuyama's favorite character in G.U. so she has a pretty good chance. DLC is another option. David is guaranteed, Reiko will definitely be in and I am more than certain that is Fluegel. Who else does everyone want to play in the game?

It was more a surprise to me than anything. My only real disappointment was from a gameplay standpoint, but from the screens they appear to play different enough to enjoy. Gotta remember class doesn't necessarily translate to moveset. The moment I saw Reiko, I was sure she'd be in too, but I don't remember much about David, aside from the teaser from Link, so I do wanna know more about his story as well as how the others fit into the story. Since Haseo was the first character introduced before we knew anything about the game, I wonder how big a role he plays.

Since there's no IMOQ characters announced, I wanna see someone from that era announced next. Blackrose was cut from GU, so I hope she gets another chance here. Ouka and Yata would make for refreshing gameplay styles and Piroshi is obviously a shoe-in.

The thing i liked about the whole hack games was the simulated mmo feel to it with the forums and emails etc etc if they are pulling all that from this game how would it even make it a dot hack game if iw ant a fighting game id pick up tekken or something i just hope it has those virtual world aspects to it if not it will be the one hack game i wont buy.

Though I agree, they've been making .Hack less and less of a simulated MMO since //GU, believe it or not. Can't really be that surprised of the direction they take with this game, especially after //Link~

I think the series will be fine. All MMORPG work slowed at the end of Project .hack but .hack conglomeration seems to be doing something for the games, Now the series simulates an action or fighting MMORPG. However as long as the premise remains the same CC2 should dance around some modern MMORPG features.

This has pretty much been my dream .hack game for a long time.

I'm pretty hyped to renew my .hack love.

It makes sense. I believe that is right. There should be an update around next Thursday in Japan. Moreover Kite has good chance of making an appearance but I doubt there will be any addition information on him because he is an alias for the player.

New 3 minute trailer from Andriasang. Lots of neat stuff. There's about a minute devoted to Versus, showing off a bit of the different characters' moves and the online feature.
