I know what you're talking about... The character model for Kite and Blackrose we're banned so 1,000 more wouldn't appear. That's why it was such a big deal for the people who tried to win that (pretty much rigged) contest.

Model? Okay. I thought it was the characters themselves.

If it were the characters themselves, they wouldn't be chibis.

Wait.. Do you mean the characters as in the people who controlled Kite and Blackrose. (The players BEHIND the .hackers, if you will) Or.. The World characters of Kite and Blackrose themselves.

Well, actually, Kite's red character is impossible to copy anyway. In Infection, people comment that Twin-Blades can't be that shade of red with that character shape.

When does that happen? I remember Mimiru saying "red's pretty rare," but that's about it, and even that's vague.

Would the twilight book only change Kite's character to another already selectable colour? It would most likely change it to the colour that makes them stand out. Plus, theres the markings that were splashed all over his character when he opened the book.

Alright let me rephrase this... The model of the character, not just the color was banned, though anyone whom had a similar one (Mimiru) before Twilight could keep it.


This isn't the right place for this anyway, what interests me, is news (Wells, news to me) about their being Phase avatar's in the original "The World".

Not true, Sanjuro and Balmung or any of the adults were not chibis.

Go to general discussion and read up on .hack//ZERO, a buried topic for much too long...

Aura will make a return, after all she is The World, though if AuraTwilight is correct and the whole Epitaph Program is running again, she is not awake yet.

The phases are mentioned twice in the Epitaph, so I doubt it's running from sqaure one. In fact, when the phases are mentioned the second time around it's in a much more gloomy light. So I think the second coming of the Phases will lead to the end of The World, much like they're the end of the Epitaph.. Eh?

I don't think it works like that.

The first time the phases are mentioned, it's about their arrival. The second time they're mentioned, they make their move and show their power.

As far as I'm concerned, the epitaph was finished with QUARANTINE, and this is something unrelated.


Aside from the fact that the phases are just special powers here, rather than AIs.

I agree with Dengar in that the Epitaph was fully contained in the original four games, but I'm still betting that the Epitaph, atleast parts of it, are replaying.
