    Game: .hack//LINK - PSP

    Most of you guys will probably won't care about this game... but for those few of us that do... I must share the joy. My grin is enormous

    Namco Bandai has announced the eight title on the .hack videogame franchise in the form of .hack//LINK for PSP. It is currently unknown if the game will follow the same story as the .hack manga of the same title, or if it will deviate from it.

    The story shall follow the new main character, Tokyo Kuryuu and his adventures alongside Saika Amagi inside The World R:X, the next iteration of the popular online game, which was released 3 years after the events taking place in G.U. after The World R:2 was unexpectedly shut down.

    Tokyo will have to battle the secret organization Shicksal, whose purpose remains hidden for now.

    Over 100 characters from previous .hack iterations will appear. Confirmed characters are marked as follow:

    From .hack//IMOQ (Infection-Mutation-Outbreak-Quarentine)
    - Kite
    - Balmung

    From .hack//SIGN
    - Tsukasa
    - Subaru
    - Silver Knight

    From .hack//AI BUSTER
    - Albireo

    From .hack//CELL
    - Midori

    From .hack//ROOTS
    - Tabby

    From .hack//GU
    - Haseo
    - Alkaid
    - Atoli
    - Ovan
    - Azure Kite

    Screens:


    No date has been set for the release of this game, but I shall keep you guys informed (those that may care that is)

    I still need to play the third game in the GU series.

    But why is it they always release character clusterfucks on the PSP. Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 1 & 2, Dissidia: Final Fantasy, and now this.

    I'm probably gonna play this eventually but I can't say I have very high expectations.

    LOL... dunno about the PSP doing that, but the .hack//LINK manga has been running for over a year like this, with this character combination.

    Anyways... I did a mistake... I marked Albireo as from Another Birth, but he is from Ai Buster.

    Shicksal is compromised of 7 members:
    Fluegel
    Metronome
    Geist
    Cello
    Klarinette
    Orgel
    Posaune

    In the manga they seek the Chrono Spheres the Twilight Knigts possess. Tokyo arrives at The World in time to see Fluegel figthing the leader of the Twilight Knights, Kite.

    More info on the manga.

    Think I read somewhere that it's not suppose to follow the story of the manga but who knows
    You are here alone again
    In your sweet insanity
    All too calm, you hide yourself from reality
    Do you call it solitude? Do you call it liberty?
    When all the world turns away to leave you lonely

    It will diverge, yes. Yet the story seems to start the same since in the screens we see how Tokyo entered The World R:X, same like on the manga. Likewise... Shicksal will be there as the main villans.

    I've hated his character since he was introduced on the manga. But its a small price to pay to see the other 100 returning characters.

    Haven't read the manga except for the two first chapters or so and thought his name was Tokio and not Tokyo.

    Maybe it's just me but seeing both Kite and Azure Kite seems quite weird. Makes me wonder if they're going to bring in anyone from Twilight Bracelet or Dusk or whatever it's called. Also gonna guess that BlackRose is gonna be in it as well, it'd be weird is she wasn't.

    Either way hoping it'll actually be more than a decent game this time around, even though I liked the others there were too many things I didn't like in the old games.

    Checking closer the screenshots... you can see one of Tokio and Tsukasa fighting Macha in her Phase form.

    I don't know about that, it doesn't quite look like Tsukasa, the colors a little bit of and makes me think more of Elk, it'd also make a lot more sense that it's Elk than Tsukasa. Also don't think I've ever seen Tsukasa that expressive in his looks

    While the expression is really more Elk like... the hair is gray and not blue. Plus... the hat doesn't look blue to me.

    I still think it's Elk though another thing that's off is the red dots in the hat, Elk had red dots Tsukasa had green ones I think. Also the wave mark on his cheek isn't the same as the one Tsukasa has rather it's the same as Elks. And Elks hair is kinda light blue so it's not always that easy to see the difference.

    Edit: By the way did you hear the news that this is gonna be the last .hack game they make?

    The ones that said it may be the last hack game was Famitsu. Matsuyama and his team from CC2 never stated such thing.

    I've never played one of these games. Would a RPG fanatic like myself enjoy them?

    Also i think there's an anime about this series, should i watch it to better understand the game?

    I don't know what kinds of RPG you like so it's hard for me to say. But for me the biggest drawing point of .hack has always been the concept behind it. Though I'm sad to say all the games so far have been in my opinion only mediocre at best so probably no you wouldn't.

    The first four games are nothing special. And they are all the same. What draws you in is the story. You need to be a fan to enjoy it.

    The GU games on the other hand are way better and you don't need the previous games to understand whats going on. Yet... if you want to fully enjoy the game you do need the previous information.

    In order of 'canon'

    .hack//Epitaph of Twilight - Novel
    .hack//AI BUSTER - Novel
    .hack//SIGN - Anime
    .hack//ZERO - Novel
    .hack//IMOQ (Infection, Mutation, Outbreak, Quarentine) - PS2
    .hack//LIMINALITY - Ovas (bundled with 4 games)
    .hack//ANOTHER BIRTH - Novel retelling games in POV of BlackRose
    .hack//AI BUSTER 2 - Novel
    .hack//Tasogare Udewa Densetsu - Manga
    .hack//END OF THE WORLD - Special disc free with limited edition of GU 1
    .hack//ROOTS - Anime
    .hack//CELL - Novel
    .hack//ALCOR - Manga
    .hack//GnU - Manga
    .hack//GU - PS2 (3 volumes)
    .hack//LINK - PSP

    Non-canon
    .hack//GIFT - Ova
    .hack//UNISON - Ova
    .hack//Tasogare Udewa Densetsu - Anime
    .hack//XXXX - Manga
    .hack//GU+ - Manga
    .hack//GU - Novel
    .hack//Link ~ Twilight Knights - Manga
    .hack//Returner - Ova

    Number of works of fiction that made me shed at least one tear: 3

    none works well on core2quad, and .hack games work only in menus - do you think i haven't tried?
