New scans out
Im glad to see BlackRose as a party member

I really hope that's BlackRose so that it's not Rena or Mimiru, well Mimiru had brown hair if I don't remember wrong but bah to many with the same character design. And well Rena is Rena... AND WHAT SHE'S IN A COMA!!!!

The scans feature both BlackRose and Mimiru. No problem there. No word on Rena though.
Its implied BlackRose is in a coma or lost, because when Fluegel and Kite fight, Kite thinks of her, Orca and Balmung and yells at Fluegel to return his friends to him.
Anyone tried the japanese demo yet?

On other news... Xth forms were revealed for several characters including Haseo, Kite, BlackRose, Mimiru, Tsukasa, Midori, Tabby and Silabus

Im getting more excited with this game as new info surfaces. Hack Link will finally conclude the lost story of hack // Zero. Carl has been confirmed to appear

Also read somewhere that they pushed the release date to march. And BlackRose is looking more like Rena though it might be because she looks younger, so overall not really liking that they all look younger now.
Not really liking Tokios Xth form it looks kinda too big for him and the big horn in the middle of his forehead isn't exactly fitting him. Though it might be the weapons that make it look like he's a shrimp, then again some of these Xth forms aren't really sitting to well with me. But I do dig Kites Xth form though never really saw him as much of an archer. To bad I haven't read any of .hack//Zero or .hack//CELL.

hack ZERO was never officially translated. Heck, it was canceled in Japan before ending. I do know about Carl's backstory. She was a friend of Sora, was one of the lost one, and the daughter of Tokuoka. Its her coma what prompted Tokuoka to see Minase Mai.
Cell will be published next march in english and covers Midori's story before and after she fights Haseo. She lives only inside the game, yet is not a lost one, but rather a Cell created creature.
I like the Xth forms, except Tokio, but mainly because I dislike him as a main character.
Tokio reminds me too much of a Digimon character.
But man, I still haven't gotten around to playing the last GU game yet.
Everybody says that about Tokio. He looks like Taichi. And everybody hates him as well. Heck... even the animation on the game is made by one of the studios that did the digimon movies. And it sucks.
Fortunately the demo is fun.
You get to have Kite in the Tutorial and you get to choose your partner for the 3 demo stages. You get Haseo and Tsukasa.
Well it's just some of them I don't like, Mimiru and Tabby, while I canunderstand Tabbys Xth form considering what she did in Roots they both feel like they're there just to fill a niche. I mean bunny ears on Mimiru? While I haven't seen SIGN in the longest time now it still doesn't fit imo. Hoping the other characters will have some Xth form as well.
Is Taichi the first guy with goggles in Digimon?

Oh ya, he does look like the guy from Digimon
Btw, will someone who's never played an hack game be able to enjoy this?

Watch the animes:
SIGN
LIMINALITY
Tasogare no Udewa Densetsu (Non-canon)
Returner (Non-canon)
Unison (Non-canon)
Roots
Trilogy Movie (Non-canon)
Read the manga:
GU+ (Non-canon)
Alcor
Tasogare no Udewa Densetsu
X-fourth (Non-canon)
Read the novels:
Another Birth
AI Buster
GU (Non-canon)
Cell

Play the Games
IMOQ
GU
And then we have the upcoming
LINK - Game
Link - Twilight Nights - Manga (non-canon)
Link Anime (Non-canon)
ChupChopCase Anime
4Koma
so yeah... the game could be fun but... Link has tons of references to the above...
Lots... as in characters from each of those series. I am not kidding here.
We have Albireo from Ai Buster, Midori from Cell, Carl from Zero, Tsukasa from Sign, Kite from IMOQ, Haseo from GU, etc etc etc
I loved the hack games, specially GU. I am really hoping this gets a North American Release.

"Chrono is our Religion. In the name of the Chrono, the Zeal, the Trigger and Cross, Amen."
Its definitely getting an american release Arc.
Specially since .hack//ALCOR gets published this december, .hack//GU Novel Vol 2 gets released next january, .hack//CELL Novel next march and .hack//LINK Twilight Knights has been licensed as well.
If only they published Zero, even if unfinished... and Epitaph of Twilight as well.
New Scans
GU Characters Endrance, Shino, Kuhn, Saku, Bo and Pi confirmed. Their Xth forms revealed.
Atoli and Alkaid's Xth form revealed.
Official color squeme of all Schisckal members revealed.
Gabi confirmed.
Yo Zell i wanna play this
Can you please give me a list of anime to watch and ps2 games to play so i can at least get a hint of the story? In order if possible.
Lets see... the 'basics' would be...
BASIC
-Watch SIGN Anime (SKIP Unison episode until you finish the games, it takes place after them)
-Play the first Quadrology of PS2 games (be aware that graphically each game is the same, it was a major turnoff for many gamers).
-Each game comes bundled with one of four LIMINALITY OVA so watch them one after another after ending the games, or after finishing each game.
OPTIONAL (non-basic) to learn more and enjoy:
- Read the AI Buster novel (no scans available, sorry). Be aweare that AI Buster takes place before SIGN while AI Buster 2 takes place during SIGN and then time skips after the games. It also has side stories for Udeden.
OPTIONAL (non-basic):
- Read Another Birth novel. Its the games from the point of view of BlackRose
BASIC again:
- Read Udeden Manga (no scans available, sorry)
- Watch Roots Anime
- Play GU Vols 1 to 3 (it starts middleway Roots... so final episodes of Roots may have spoilers for the games. Idiotic? Yes. I hate they did it this way)
Those are the essentials... many other of the sub-series will just allow you to learn more of certain characters or expand the story. Xfourth is a retelling of the games with changes. GU+ is a retelling of the games as well... TRILOGY is YET another retelling. Alcor is canon, but doesn't hurt to skip it. CELL is not yet translated, neither Zero. GnU is just stupidness galore.
Skip Udeden Anime. It deviated from the manga horribly.

Thanks
So when should i watch unison? After the first tetralogy?
Unison was rendered un-canon thanks to GU, but its fanservice you can indeed watch after the first four games. GIFT is another OVA from SIGN you should skip until the end, but this one is pure laughs, but I suggest skipping it because it has characters from the games.
Woot!
.hack//ALCOR is already available in english (I own the spanish/europe version)
.hack//CELL Volume 1 available March 2
.hack//4Koma available March 30
.hack//LINK Twilight Knights Available June 29
That green haired dude in the main character right? He keeps popping up in box arts and stuff
