Yea, I figured, but still. We've already seen Silabus and Haseo, and now 7 more G.U. models? How many IMOQ Xth forms are available so far? Kite and Blackrose? The two mainliest main characters? I guess the first scans were even, and after this G.U. focuse they will hopefully do a IMOQ focus. Or at the very least an R1 focus.

I guess I'm just whining like everyone else. This is why I usually try to ignore game news, but the game feels so close...

Orgel looks like an actual threat. He seems to have three forms, each one more powerful than the last. It's sorta like how Corebenik was in IMOQ. Either way, he grows to an abnormal size. I wonder how we can beat bosses that grow that big.

Also, does anybody feel that CC2 is revealing too much about this game? There's like, little room left for surprises now when it comes to gameplay mechanics and characters models.

That's exactly what he does. And I've translated it before, but Fluegel's cool-looking form is actually his "battle mode." It's possible every member can transform.

No moreso than they did for G.U. If we start seeing every single boss there might be a problem, but all the mechanics and most of the characters have always been revealed beforehand.

I think you guys missed one. Is that not Mistral's Xth form in the bottom left corner?

Yea, I thought it was at first but her weapon is the same. I thought I just forgot her new look. But looking at a wiki comparison and the text underneath saying Xth... I don't like it.

Damn. That's a lot of Xth. Someone mentioned it earlier but Cubia (if he's still alive) is gonna be a badass to fight. Makes me wonder what's gonna happen to Harald with so much wrap up. Also does this mean Saku and Bo are separate now?

I would imagine no, but they may have separate Xth form events. The Sakubo mechanic was always fun...

Jesus ****, Saku and Bo look terrible. Way to ruin a perfect character design, what the **** giant crowns?

Let me just say that 1) holy crap yesss Shino is in Link, and 2) her Xth Form is awesome.

Clearly they're looking at merchandising. .hack//Link chess set ftw.

I'd buy it.

Commentary on the new releases...

1. They're obviously trying to make Atoli look as flowery as possible. Even though her Xth form would logically be bird-related.
2. At least Shino and Atoli look different now.
3. Pi looks like she could just strangle all her enemies with her hair.
4. Now Endrance finally has a form that fits him.
5. WTF KUHN. WHY DID THEY HAVE TO MUTILATE YOU. Not only does he look even girlier than in G.U., but HE HAS HORNS. Why are they giving all the cool characters horns?
6. Alkaid doesn't look any different. Why should they change her? She's awesome as is. *sarcasm*
7. I think out of the new set, Sakubo's is the only one I like. And it's STILL pretty doofy.

Thats the only one? Personally I love Shino's. Reminds me of Scholar class from FFXI. Kuhn's I like all but the horns and the tip of his hair, of course without those it just seems like a generation makeover instead of an Xth form. Atoli's looks just like she got hot watching Haseo and her wings went erect. Thats the only real change I see besides the "omg shes so pure" halo which makes me want to vomit. Oh and that ugly oversize tassel and flower.

Endrance's Xth form suits him? Do you hate Endrance? Ugly perm braid mix, ugly elf ears... and cleavage? The horns on the should pads are ugly. Though the lower part and midsection might look cool, can't really tell by the picture. Though the top part of his hair and face do look cuter.

The rest of the characters I don't care enough about to comment.

I don't like Endrance much. Let's leave it at that. I loved Elk, but Endrance... MEH.

Atoli's one of my favorite characters in dothack, and it really kind of makes me sick to my stomach to see her character so horribly mutilated in LINK. And whytf does Kuhn have horns? I don't think I'd mind if he didn't have them, because his gun looks slick and otherwise he mostly looks like he did in G.U. (except for, as you mentioned, the tip of his hair).

And the reason I don't like Shino's is because it just looks doofy. I guess it fits her, but I think that something flowery would've fit her better than it would Atoli.

Cause he's horny. :B
So are Endrance (for Haseo) and Blackrose apparently.

That's the only thing I could guess myself, but he looks evil with them... and Kuhn as a character is just not evil.

(Besides, he's definitely not as perverted as most other flirt-types in games I've played. XP)

He hits on anything with animated boobs. Can't get much more hornier than that. There should be a cutscene with him an Henako.

If you haven't played Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, you're not to speak of perverts in videogames...

I'm beginning to wonder if Shinon's "joke" is actually the truth.

But yeah, Kuhn doesn't seem to act perverted, just flirty. Take pretty much any of the flirt-types in the Fire Emblem or Tales series and look at them and you'll get what I mean.

...okay, there was the "I am a champion to all female players!" and hitting on a 9-year-old. But there are exceptions to every rule!

The one about Gatrie hitting on a tree if he put a skirt on it?

Can you even BEGIN to imagine Gatrie, Zelos, or Raven in .hack? My god, brain exploded.

You mean the tips from sniper Kuhn to woo any woman from 8 to 80? That was always good for a laugh

Yeah, that one. XD Just for that, Shinon was WAY cooler in RD than in PoR.

At first I thought you meant Raven from FE and I was like "...what?" Then I remembered there was also a Raven in Tales of Vesperia and that ended the confusion. XD

Considering that most of the pervertedness in FE was toned down in the English translations, I can't imagine what would've happened if Sain or Gatrie had been in .hack (since the pervertedness WASN'T toned down... Alkaid anyone?). The thought scares me...

He has a tendency to be a complete idiot, but he's really no worse than Zelos.
