What would the Aura-related crisis be?
10 years later, NAB ordered CC corp to hand over all source code to The World after just too many incidents with comas, a group took parts of the source code and made a new MMOFPS based on one of the "secret unused features" found in the game, Protect Break and Data Drain, with gameplay revolving around battling until you Protect Break your opponent and then Data Drain them out of the arena, and the game uses different Bracelets of different power. some of the maps from previous are still in use as waiting lobbies or party areas, mostly the Lost Ground's. game stars Mirielle and Aura, as the top team in this game. Aura uses a rare bracelet known as "White Dawn", and Mirielle uses one known as "Silver Wing". Mirelle and her mother don't get along very well, because she can't ever beat Mistral in games. Mirelle and Aura are in Hulle Grantz resting during a tournament, and Mirelle is complaining about her mom. Aura just laughs, and tells her that she'll understand when she has kids of her own. later in that tournament all of the sudden the arena is invaded by a (continuing the set tradition) zombie version of Haseo, weilding Skeith's original staff, Aura panics and tries to fight him off, but isn't able to do anything. Haseo dashes forward and Protect Breaks Aura, and Aura throws a crystal to Mirielle, telling her to find the others, and to be kind to her mother. Haseo then Data Drain's Aura and she disappears. Yata then shows up to Mirielle, recognizes the crystal as part of the Gate Hacking utility, tells her there's three more, and tells her to go to the End of the World. she goes there, and in the space for Corbenik's weapon there is a strange door, she tries to use it and the Gate Hacking menu comes up. she puts in the crystal, and it takes her to R:1's Mac Anu. most of the areas are Protected, so she goes to Hulle Grantz, where she finds that a new Aura statue is there. Her mother walks in, and explains that there are pirated versions of both The World and The World R:2's servers running, and some people have access to them. The Gate Hacking crystal allowed her to travel there, and when all four peices are collected, they'll allow her to go anywhere. she tracks down the owners of two of the remaining three, and then meets up with her mother agian in Hulle Grantz. Mistral explains that the four crystals were given out to the final four in an early tournament for the game, given out by Harald who had hacked his way into the game. She then reveals that she has the last of the four crystals, and challenges her to a fight. Mirelle narrowly wins. she then puts the Gate Hacking crystal together, and it transforms into a bracelet called "KEY OF THE TWILIGHT", and the jacket her character wears gets the "G" symbol imprinted onto the back of it that the Book of Twilight added to Kite's clothing. She then goes to some place, and fights Skeith. [end of first game]

err, um, that idea came to me all at once one day (not paragraphed on purpose)

I know this is kind of off topic but:

What would the Aura-related crisis be?

And AT, for future reference, please try and keep Quantum Physics out of discussions, I'm sure there are other people like me on this forum: Those who don't understand Quantum Physics at all, it just gives us head-aches
1) It'll probably take place seven years after GU, just for the hell of it, and as for Aura-related disasters, there probably won't be any, due to the whole point Aura was making. ("Humans don't need me anymore.")

2) Betch, I'll reference Quantum Physics if I want to, I use it in my work.
All that stuff the Anaconda said.
While I like the thought you put into it, I highly disagree with making Protect Break and Data Drain common game play features, since they PUT PEOPLE IN COMAS! Not to mention that'd spawn like 3 million Cubias.

And Aura being a player? F*ck the What?

Anyway~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My idea for a new .hack series is that, during the Cubia crisis of GU, the Real World disaster led to the death of some dude's kid. This guy is a computer genius like Harald and Amagi, and he wishes to bring his child back in the form of an A.I. He also, however, puts in a deadly program that could destroy the entire internet, in order to get revenge on the network for taking his kid's life in the first place.

Something goes wrong (A fire? A virus? Who cares, I'll think that up later), and the AI is lost before it's completed, and it fragments into several smaller AI's, each one with pieces of the program. Each of those AI's manifest in Za Warudo as PC's, believing they are players, and discover they each have special powers. Most of them have a strange desire to be with the others that they don't understand, but one of them has gone evil and corrupted, possessing the part of the program that wants to destroy the Network.

He is using his piece of the program to put people into comas, holding them hostage in order to gain the cooperation of his "siblings", but he is also planning to escape into one of the comatose bodies, so that he can survive the destruction of the entire internet.

And in all of this chaos, a young little AI girl, named after the western winds, wakes up from a long sleep and decides to intervene.

lol dont worry, i thougt it was just as out of left field too. anyway concerning the data drain, thye just found refrences to the function not the function themselves (CC Corp didnt release any of the stuff from the Harald folder, becasue well they didnt have the source code to that), so all that was just recreations of refrences in the source code. without the stuff in the Harald folder, NAB was unable to find anything in the source code to the games to indicate that there was anything causing the comas in the game. pretty graphics and out of setting game mechanics, thats all

anyway i didnt really put much thought into it, as i said it just collectively came to me all of the sudden. im going now >_> <_<

It's hard to say how long it could be. Since G.U. was much more sucessful than the first series they might keep it not long after still in the World R:2.
And they will probably want to bring back some characters.

And the crisis wouldn't be Aura related since she isn't coming back apparantly. So any network problem could be the latest crisis since they made the net so damn powerful.

I'd like the villian to be an actual evil person this time who is willingly causing chaos or something. None of this evil-AI or brainwashed people thing.

The reason G.U. was so popular is because they pulled every trick in the fanservice book,but still kept a solid storyline.
Andyone care to disagree with that?
No?
Good enough then.

you know what would be a good topic?
Aura getting broken into bits again,turning evil due to a malfuntion in the blackbox,useing Cubia as a bodyguard,then trying to find her peices so that she could destroy the net.
In the meantime,the hero would be trying to stop Aura by uniting all the entities of the Epitpah into an Avatar-like being(All meaning not just the epitpahs,I mean the sisters,Helba,her army,and whatnot) and then using it against her.
Then that failing,then Cubia itself fusing with it due to some emotional confliction caused by it mimicing fragments of Haseo's and Kite's emotions,then that creating the ultimate creature,which we will call the Twilight Avatar,which would be the exact anti existance of Aura herself,due to the epitaph and Cubia.
then that would fail,due to a missing part of the epitpah,Aura herself.
Then in the final moments,Aura's old personality fuses with the Twilight avatar,assumes control,and both the anti-Aura(the evil one) and The Perfect Twilight avatar are destroyed.
This would put and end to everything that is a manifested part of the blackbox,including Cubia,Aura,the Phases,and everything else.
Of course,the story wouldn'y be so strait forward.
There would be twists,plot development,betrayal(OH NO!!!!!) and other storyline quirks.

Anyway,that was off the top of my head.
It's not something I really think about that much.

Wrong. If they can't figure out ALL of Data Drain, they shouldn't be able to replicate harmless Bracelets and Data Drains. It's just stupid, I'm sorry.

Aura's chin is pointier. Made me think...
Haseo: Rengeki! Aura's Chin Stab!!!

Aura's always important. She made the Azure Knights.

If Aura wasn't there, we'd all explode.

setting the stupidity of my idea aside (because we all acknowledge that), how does THAT make sense? first of all, that was the whole point of the RA plan in the first place, they didnt know how Aura was created in the first place so if they were to try and rewrite her themselves it simply wouldnt work. reverse engineering and copying and original implementation like that takes place in the computer industry all the time. just simply "hey, this says this is supposed to do this, so we'll do it like this to make it do that". applied to my stupid idea, the code says after a certain amount of damage then the Protect Break is available, so use the Data Drain skill to steal from it and make it weaker. side effects unneccessary.

well, a big part of the problem is that things such as Data Drain and Protect Break aren't observable to people who don't possess the ability, and that it's like half psychic phenomena. Plus, it's a Black Box, so you can't even read the programming behind it. The Avatars was one thing, those were in the Sea of Data, vulnerable for people to access.

Also, the WNC wouldn't allow the commercialization of something like Data Drain in the first place.

No, but we can appreciate the idea anyway, right? We can fix it later by editing, proofreading, and citing sources.


Techincal Specs:
-I appreciate GU making the Battle System as "pause-free" as possible and I'd like to see that in a future generation. They obviously have to change it up though. I don't think I could live another 3-4 games hearing "Rengeki" 235.5 times a day.
-In addition:I would like to run around with my blade/s out and randomly attack enemies. It would allow for more than just 3 enemies (the fight with Cubia doesn't count) to combat at a time and you'll ignore this whole "Outbreak of Battle" thing.

-I don't think they could create a caracter as badass as Haseo was, so why not try a girl main character instead?

-We need more areas to explore. Personally, I would appreciate it if (storyline wise) we weren't necessarily in the same place more than once. I'll have to think on this one a bit to pull the idea in my head onto the computer so let's set it aside for now.


Those are just some technical aspecs off the top of my head. Comments? Ideas?

-I love the music. A catchy song is always appreciated.

1. yeah, in fact i think they got tired of it at Bandai USA as well and thats why they re-recorded it for volume 2 :lol:

2. free battle back the way the first games were would be nice. it sucked being stuck in a room with no way of avoiding monsters tho. they should mix it up, the dungeon and field systems of GU and the monster system of the original.

5. thatd be kinda interesting. it should be interesting what they come up with for the next main character, given the stark contrast between Kite and Haseo

4. that one would have to depend on disc space probly. I dont think PS2 supports dual-layer DVDs for games (I've certainly never seen one). I think the 360 does, so thats more space there, and the PS3 has it's Blu-ray discs with a lot more space. I guess it would depend on whether or not the next .hack series will be for just one of those or both (or all 3 consoles, if they did it for the Wii as well, I think that supports dual-layer media as well, but I don't know very much on the specifics of that disc format).

5. music's a given, theyve got a killer in-house team

in any case we know that theyre working on stuff for all three new consoles, and I wouldnt be surprised if the next game is well in the works (given that after the success of GU they now know they have a killer app with the franchise, and GU was in work for so long before they actually anounced anything for it publically)

you know, for a ps2 game, the cutscenes look really really good (not saying ps2 graphics are bad, but it does look better then a ton of other ps2 games out there)

That makes the story idea 50 times better.

I've liked the basics of your plot since I first heard it, but something about it still feels a little weird. Dunno why I feel that way though.
Have you got a more fleshed out version of the story anywhere?

And I've got a really nice chain here. I'm willing to wrap it around the throat of the next person to suggest Data Drain becomes a public ability. Comas = Bad, and most of your average players would be too stupid to understand how dangerous it could be. Plus what AT said about the Black Box. So just no, 'kay guys?

She wouldn't be inherantly evil,just broken.
If they got rid of Aura via a series,then there would be just the laws of the blackbox,which opens up the windows for a fourth series,where all the fans can't go on like:"It was Aura!!!!She did it!!!!!!"
"That girl's Aura!!!!!"
"No,the reason was that Aura________________"

and so on.
There would be room for an entirely new idea.
Although,I know it won't happen.

I think if they do another .hack they could always do it based on the .hack//sign anime. Most of the people that I know that are into the .hack games have never even heard of that till the wallpapers on the original .hack games.
