Might import just for this...
Considering .hack is pretty much dead here in America, that seems like my only choice now. |

Ugg, still no mention of Kite and Blackrose being in the game or not. Well even if they are and Namco Bandai hasn't said anything yet, I hope they play important roles like Haseo and co. Don't think it would be very fair since they were the first game MCs and if this is the last game then seriously, WTF?
Anyway game looks great, it's got some Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm elements in it so that's nice and the graphics rock too. Hope the movie and game come out to the US soon because I can't wait to play this. |

Not gonna happen. The Japanese creators of .hack made an announcement a while ago saying that there is no US support for .hack games in America. Namco Bandai also refuses to say anything on the matter, but from what I seen with how the games are handled here, it's safe to assume .hack is dead in America. |

Actually, Famitsu confirmed yesterday (in a leak, with corresponding images) that Kite and BlackRose, along with Tokio (*spoiler* He's the mysterious "9" character, a pun on his own name. *end spoiler*) are to be playable. There will also be a visual feature that allows you to collect different kinds of weapons which you can use to customize your character's looks. The weapons are only eye-candy differences, though, as they do nothing to the gameplay itself. They aren't treating the game as a full-fledged game, so don't expect too much from it. |

Wrong.
Source So it isn't the fanbases' fault, rather, NBGA's and the lack of willingness to take risks. ON-TOPIC: This looks awesome. I might have order the movie because it actually looks genuinely interesting. To be particular, I'm interested as to how Sora has Balmung and Orca in his/her moves. |

It's that, too, but... the .hack//G.U. games didn't sell as well as they had hoped in America. And I believe a response from Bandai Namco America to dothackers.net said something about that, but I'd have to go back and check. I believe dothackers.net still has the .hack//Link campaign for North America, if anyone is interested. Hmm. I wonder if this is actually a different case. I could see them just releasing the movie rather than making the one-disc, movie-game feature they're doing for the Japanese release, but considering these are a part of the same release, it might not be a stretch to say they would be willing to localize the game for North America. Especially if it doesn't have a lot of story in it and doesn't need much editing (translation is pretty cheap, but modifying the game for a localized version is more expensive). The licensing fee might not be that big for such a small game. |

Now if we can only have an HD collection of the PS2 games, that would be a nice set to have.

Um that's basically what I said. "No support/no interest" is basically the same thing. Please learn to read through the lines. Namco Bandai doesn't want to support most of their games outside Japan. If they did, they would have advertised their stuff more and localized more. All they're really interested in is Soul Calibur and Naruto. |

What I got from what you said was that there was no fanbase in North America. So, my bad I guess. |
