I didn't like the .Hack//sign series to much, although I'm thinking of giving it another shot, however the game is one of my fav. games for the ps2, when I first played it I got hooked and didn't stop playing it untill i beat it (took me a good 20 hours too) and where did you hear about this new game i want to see if they have the trailer my friend told me about.

Just so you know, ANN frowns on your kind of atrocious grammar. "Teh" is not a word. Please keep this in mind for future posts.

As for what I think of the .hack franchise, I was only briefly into it. I blindly bought INFECTION a few years back and watched the first episode of LIMINALITY, but once I saw how boring and difficult the game was, and how boring the anime was, I got out of it. I tried watching SIGN when it premiered on CN, but couldn't get into it. To this day, I have discontinued playing RPGs (and most video games in general, since my main focus is on anime).

I agree, it was a bit challenging, but i like challenging video games because they arn't the kind that you put in the tray, and take it out 30 mins later because you accomplished what you wanted too.

The only part I understood was where you said you weren't implying I was picking on you but you "sort of" felt that I was (meaning that you ARE implying it). Let me assure you that I was NOT trying to pick on you; I was just letting you know that bad grammar is frowned upon here. You should try using the Spell Check feature in Word or whatever word processing program you have.

Fine I will take my time typeing insted of shuffeling 10 programs, I will on these forms put effort into my typeing.
Hmmmmm... In fact I am going to go through ALL of my poasts and correct them... Enjoy.
...And no I dont use a word processor on this computer all I have is notepad and its just SAD. Anime hyper And no I am not going to invest in one unless you want to give me one.

Anyways I agree the Hack//SIGN OST discs 1&2 + the extras disc are well done.

And I guess we're supposed to take their grammar nazism seriously when they themselves call their rules page "Teh Rules".
Twisted Evil

Speaking of seriously, I loved .hack// SIGN and the .hack// games. Hell, I have the LE boxset for SIGN and almost have finished the games. I didn't care for .hack//DUSK, too muck of a step down storywise in the series.

Acutally that dark Kite is called tri-edge, simply because of that special tri-edge blades that he/it uses. Secondly I would say that I am very much into the world of .Hack. Granted I thought that the anime was so slow and boring at first, but upon further review and watching the series again I found that I enjoy it so much since I knew that the series wasn't depended on action.
Now comes the games which should of been only two games at most because each game feature the same dungeons over and over.
As for Legend of the twillight well I have all 3 dvds on my shelf, waiting to be play, but I want to complete the last game before going to LOTT. Since then I read my first anime/manga novel in .Hack A.I. Buster, which was so extremely satifying. But now looking towards the future of this series I can't wait for G.U. and what the anime that is suppose to come with it.
Till next time,

Delta Kiral

There are 2 series of short novels (like the Slayers books). The first is .hack//AI buster which is being released by Tokyopop
http://www.tokyopop.com/dbpage.php?propertycode=HAC&categorycode=BNV
I have book 1, but I have not yet read it. These 2 books come
before .hack//sign (in other words, it is the very beginning of the .hack story.

The second series is called .hack//ZERO. It hasn't been licensed in the US, and last time I checked only the first book had been released in Japan.

To really understand .hack you kind have to read/watch/play whatever .hack materal you can get your hands on. While the .hack games are the core of the series, the other spin-offs provide the info the games lack.

Such as...

How does Balmund get his wings? Read .hack//AI Buster

For final endboss on the first .hack disk, the player is lead to believe something about the this enemy. People who have finished //Sign will know the truth about "it".

On the "World" message boards in the game, people start writing about real world events that the "bad" guys in the game are creating. Liminality tells the story of the people stuck in those events.

About .hack//GU, in the trailer Kite uses Data Drain on the main character. To someone who has never played the game, it looks like a cool special attack, however, to people who have finished the games its return has far more sinister implecations...

My only concern about .hack is Bandai is going to beat the story till its a dead corpse.
