Is her hair really only one color? To me it looks like it has serious highlights, with kinda a black-silver yin-yang thing going on...

Lol, that's the only namespace .hack hasn't really tapped yet. It would be funny for it to join the ranks of Guilty Gear and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure...

Earlier? What's early about
the last planned installment in the saga, excluding just one epilogue OVA? Even the manga and stuff ends on the same day this game comes out with the last issue of The World, supposedly...

I don't think that Aina is Aura or someonelse. Maby she is a save-programm created by Harald, that the World after Aura is gone can exist. ....
It sounds like a farytale sorry

Possibly, but the screenshots in the other thread showing her seemingly dead after a few shots of exploding AIDA.

so Haseo is theonly capable of removing AIDAs that infect epitaph users is Haseo?
or is it just for Ovan?
if it is just for Ovan, then the way around might be his special ability... Kuhn uses the Propagation's ability to propagate data while fighting Haseo... maybe Haseo's ability is to "kill" any kind of data...

Like I said, she is SEEMINGLY dead, I mean you have a close-up of her eyes wide open while there's a white blinding light.

Harald doesn't give a sh*t about the World if Aura isn't in it. Hence the popular theory is that Aina is the new Ultimate AI being created by Project GU's progress.

Aina: Mother! Mother! Haseo is juch an &%&$%&
Oh god, no more game/anime characters with mother issues.
From the picture, she looks excited or demented, perhaps surprised? Something ain't quite right with it.

If you check the other thread, notice how the picture of Ovan's eye infected by AIDA and Aina's picture has the same lighting colour.

The girl also looks like some character that would appear in any of the current Zelda games. If you look closely, it looks like she was made by the same designers of Zelda. lol.
I'm sorry If I'm only being completely irevelent about what her purpose in the game is. I think I might even be getting some on their nerves. Sorry. ^^;;

I don't know where it's from, but Aina looks a lot like some green haired pixie I've seen somewhere before. Now where did I see it before.

Is it just me or is the all-white room with books also the place where Aina is? It reminds me of two different(?) things:
-The Harald rooms. A room full of books totally seems like something he'd make.
-The "AIDA" rooms. They made a space like this withing Moon Tree's @Home, seemingly based on the memories of the infected children, though Sakaki himself had some amount of control. There might be more to these areas though, like the AIDA in the coinlockers that didn't open until Kite was gone. That seemed more like a prison or something, though maybe they were just hiding...

No, any awakened Epitaph User can remove an AIDA infection, but what Ovan has is more than a normal infection, presumably...

That's what I've been thinking. Guess we'll see...

You know, maybe it's the lighting, but Aina's hair seems more blue than black. And add in the yellow eyes...>> I think she looks quite a bit like Ovan, actually.

A lot of people believe that during the months Ovan was away in Roots, he was taking care and raising Aina. Although I don't see how they'll look alike, I mean there are no genetics in a game.

Hmm...maybe it's a different kind of connection than genetic? I'm not sure what, but we've all seen that coloring has played a role in the games, especially with Haseo and Ovan. So maybe this is just another instance of that to visually connect Aina to Ovan.

Perhaps she may have even "grown" in a way to partly match Ovan, if he was indeed talking about her as the "seed" the grew.But I am clueless on this matter.
Kouen: what thread do you keep reffering to, link?

Nice catch, forgot to make the connection between the numerous G.U meanings to this situation. The Unknown being Aina and her Genetics.

Forgive me if this a stupid question but is Aina human or AI? Or do we even know what she is?
