Yes, but in Sign they made the game more animated than it really is so we don't have to watch neutral-faced characters sit around in the same exact way, occassionally using smilies.

There's just no way you can show the emotions and wide array of positions shown in Sign with only goggles and a game controller. Maybe Tsukasa can do all that.

My pet theory is that Tsukasa's perception of the world is made more animated and realistic, so the various positions and emotions are delusions on his part the game induces.

^ thats my point. Maybe Balmung can't really fly. Just an animated aspect of the show.

Some of the last videos in Mutation show him flying. At one point in the story, you see him glide down from the top of a buillding in Net Slum to interupt Kite and Helba. When Morganna revolts before Magus arrives, he tries to stay logged in by flying against the shockwave.

Apparently, CC Corp. spends more time designing character model upgrades than trying to restore The World.

Well, It's not like that.
The character model upgrade Balmung had received was from the One Sin event.
That was long before the problems in "The World" started.

I laughed a little if that counts for anything.

*Didn't watch LotB* Didn't Ouka get a full out character upgrade?

I completely forgot about that. Yeah, she got an upgrade for The World that included Fighter and Werewolf job extensions for high leveled players.

But The World - Expansion Pack that Ouka got was available to the public. Balmung's wings are one of a kind (unless you count Luke's).

I bet there are people even stronger then balmung. Don't know if its any significance that Orca as level 50 in the games or just for gameplay. Though if 99 is the highest level, then we know gameplay wise Sora and Crim would be in equel in strength to Balmung. He was just lucky he had a smart friend.

I agree that there are limited character designs, but do they makers of .hack have to make the main characters all look the same? It ends up to be very confusing. :?

Lazy @$$ CC Corporation...

Why would level even matter? If you got slashed by a sword wouldn't you die anyway regardless of the level of the wielder?

Tsukasa is slashed at numerous times (or once) in the series, to which he immediately gets back up and sicks the guardian on the girls.

Either way, people play mmorpg's for the fun aspect. Having clones usually doesn't push people away from playing an mmorpg...look at Runescape.

Are u telling us runescape has many ppl looking the same?? I've played that game for 2½ year now, and I haven't seen 1 frickin' clone of myself!!!

(And sorry for breaking the thread)

That's exactly what he's saying. Lots of people look the same on Runescape. You probably just have an ugly character :P

Actually, if people have armor on then they look like each other, but I mean the character itself, ok, sure, i have seen many ppl with the same hair and haircolor as me, but then the skin color/clothes/boots/arms are different, there are like 5000 combinations, so how on earth would i be able to see 1 frickin clone of myself?

But now, please can we talk about The World's characther design instead of RuneScape's? :P

How about we stop reviving several week old threads for meaningless off-topic discussion YOU started?
