Ok, the other day I got a link to this trailer and I think by watching it my life was shortened. I think I had multiple heart attacks and was pulling out my hair. This trailer was incredible. Now, I’m posting these impressions and theories on this trailer for Vol. 3 before playing Vol. 2. It’s ok if I get some spoilers for Vol. 2 but don’t go and give me the entire script. HOWEVER! Once Vol. 3 is released in Japan I will have absolute ZERO tolerance for ANY spoilers regarding Vol. 3. This trailer is as far as I’m going in terms of spoielrs for Vol. 3 and will not tolerant any other spoilers from anyone who has played the game after it has come out in Japan and before I have played it. So, untill Vol. 3 is released adn there are clear spoilers and not just theories, pour your souls out here on what you think about the trailer :D
Summary:
- We see a scene from Vol. 2 where Ovan reveals what’s in his arm. Which is out of his shoulder an AIDA tentacle thing is growing. He then attacks with three weapons making a sign around Haseo. Haseo is freaking out, confused and shocked.
- We see a quick flashback to vol. 1 where Ovan is helping Haseo up after he is first PK’d when he first plays the game.
- We see a pile of books in a white room. The camera zooms out and we see someone with crazy white hair sitting in a wheelchair in the white room that has several books. A sign on the floor and a broken away piece of the floor reeling blue glowing space.
- We see Haseo, Kite (Tri Edge), Pai, Endrance, Atoli, and Sakubo all walking forward together towards the serpent of knowledge.
- We see some quick shots of something, then a shot of a spear or blade in the air pointing downwards.
- We see the unknown with white hair in the cathedral facing the altar and then turning to look behind him.
- We see Haseo looking surprised.

- We see Haseo standing alone in a large white plane.

- We see a close-up of his face and he has symbols over his face like he is transforming, then the white of his eyes turn black.
- We see a quick glimpse at Haseo glowing in some white outfit.
- We see Ovan and there is a white glow in front of him, the white glow then explodes.
- We see Haseo getting new marks on his cheeks, symbolizing his Xth form.
- We see Haseo in third form looking at someone in a spotlight who is glowing and holding up something. It looks to be Haseo in Xth form.
- Haseo is floating in darkness and a light appears before him.
- We see a close-up of all of Haseo in his Xth form, white and glowing.

- We see Haseo standing in his Xth for in a white room with some blue rings in the background.
- We see a gameplay shot of Haseo pulling out his Xth form weapons, two guns.

- More gameplay shots.
- We see Haseo in a dark plane, creating a bracelet data drain shot. He charges forward and shoots the data drain.
- We hear everyone saying I am here Skeith all together. A new version of Skeith appears, white with kind of wing like things.
- Skeith fights against some white creature.
- We see a shot of Online Jack. Jack, the school teacher, and someone else are staring at a screen. We see shots of explosions and care pile ups. Then back with Jack a screen says Rebirth and there is a huge glow and explosion of light.
- We see Haseo in 3rd form looking at the cathedral. We then see other various quick shots of vol. 1 and 2.

- We see Shino at the altar and she turns and says thank you to Haseo.
- We see Haseo eye opening, and he makes a stance in his Xth form with his guns, blue glowing energy around him.
Impressions:
One huge big thing is of course Cubia. It’s obvious that those red lights were Cubia; his groan was the same too. However, that rally brings forth the question of why the hell is Cubia there. Cubia was always the anti existence of something in the previous games, which was the bracelet. Is Cubia still an anti existence? If so, to what? It could be that he I still the anti existence of the bracelet, because we do see Haseo able to use data drain while not in Skeith form. Or it could be something much more complicated like the anti existence of AIDA or Haseo himself.
The wheelchair person, who the hell is it? Some people were saying that it could be Gabi or Zelkova. Now, not having played Vol. 2 I don’t’ really see where they got that from. It’s a possibility, which means those two would get more character development in two to lead to this. I’m not really sure what it is, because first off they didn’t show it doing much. The one part I’m confused about is that I believe the wheel chaired one is the same one shown early in the trailer in the cathedral, standing up. So I’m a bit confused on that part.
Tabby is back! I was really hoping she would be back, because it’s not like she died like Phyllo did. I just hope they bring back Touta and Saburou. The party shots were really very interesting. Now, there is a possibility that those were all after beating the game, which means they are just kind of bonus. Yet if not, that leaves a lot of questions. First off Shino was with Tabby, so does Shino come back in the middle of the game then? If not hen it defiantly leads to the idea that these are just bonuses. We also see all of the Azure Knights. I think it’s obvious that Tri Edge is Kite himself, same with the other two. They are in your party so that means apparently you understood who they really are and stop trying to kill Kite and have him join you. I’m really confused as to why the hell they showed Natsume. You know, the very minor background party member in the first games? The Twin blade…yeah…her. Wth!? First off she was NEVER important, not like Mistral or Wiseman were, second they restarted the game so did she make a character just like it? We also see her with Piros, not this could be the original one from the first games or the new one in G.U. Or those two could be the same person which is very likely. As to why the hell you are with Bordeaux, Zelkova and some of those minor ones, I have no idea.
The new Skeith. Now that looks cool. From the trailer, the Impression I got was that the new form was some kind of joint effort between everyone. We heard them all yell I am here Skeith, and so it’s almost like all of them together are that new form. It looks really cool, and very different. Which kind of fits since Haseo’s Xth form is very different as well.
Haseo’s Xth form raises another question, how the hell does he get it? It’s obviously something abnormal; first off a normal Multi Weapon class only gets three forms which are chosen at character development. So that means that his Xth form is something that isn’t normal…so how does he get it?
I thought it was cool to see Taihaku. I don’t know what happens to him in Vol. 2 but he’s briefly in Vol. 1 and there was even a small hint towards Roots because Haseo thought he remembered him from somewhere. However that shot of him I the trailer made him look almost evil so I’m really wondering where he comes into play.
Also, how exactly is Haseo able to use Data Drain without Skeith now? Is it just part of his Xth form o can he use it in 3rd form as well. If so, then how the hell does he gain that ability? Does Kite give him his bracelet or something?
If you’ve watched the last video clip for Vol2, there’s something that Endrance says about the Xth Form. Something along the lines of “the Job Extend that Exceeds the System”. Meaning, Haseo’s character has finally broken the game rules and “hacked” his own character, thus earning another Job Extend. Another thing would be that, from the color scheme, it seems like Haseo’s data has merged with Ovan’s.
And with the Xth Form, comes Skeith Ver3, which does look like Skeith when it’s fused with Corbenik. (Note the sword-ish things on the back. Unlimited Blade Works?)
My theory is that Haseo gets the Form after he goes through the Painful Forest a second time…But I’m probably wrong. Personally, I think that it’s granted by the six colored Virus Cores found in Roots; Explaining the colored lights that flash before he changes. Apparently, Haseo’s infected with AIDA in this game; That’s why there’s a Black Skeith.
I don’t think that Skeith V3 is a group effort: Note that by the end of the second game, Haseo has ALL the Phases except for Fitchell. It could be…y’know…A metaphor for the support of his friends, which is still cool. (And is X-Form using the Gun Kata, from Equilibrium?)
Finally, I believe that the Azure Knights might be the original players, come to reclaim their characters. They seem too ‘mindless’ as AI PCs to be normal characters, I think. Too bad Bordeaux appears to join up…It’d be better if Haseo killed her off once and for all…
I remember in Vol1, everytime you defeat a Phase Avatar (Magus, Tarvos and Macha), you’d get a “Phase Genome Data Acquired” message right after the fight. Perhaps, with every Data Drain that Skeith does on an Avatar, it takes in a part of the opponent, then somehow uses that to “evolve”. Just like what Haseo means when he mentions “eating someone alive”.
So… Skeith Tarvos Magus a bit of Azure Flame God = Skeith V2. And perhaps, Skeith V2 Innis Gorre lots of Corbenik = Skeith V3. Funnily enough, according to the original designations, Corbenik is supposed to be the one who combines all the data acquried by the 7 other Phases..
Xth Form… yeah, certainly combines the Steam Gunner and the Twin Blade jobs. I haven’t seen any other weapons for the Xth Form besides the DG-X dual guns that were shown in the PV. Plus, all those new Skill Triggers and the ability to use Data Drain as the Awakening attack is completely hax.
Well. I don’t know if this count as spoiler, but…. in the Terminal Disc Jun revealed the presence of “anti existence” in the proyect. That was, in fact, what caused the proyect to fail. Anyway, Jun tells that the “anti existence” opposes the force of the “epitaph PCs”. In other words, this time, Cubia is the anti existence of all the Phases.
My theory is that this white “super” Skieth is the fusion of all the Phases, in order to fight Cubia.
It’s not I am Skeith.. But I am here, Skeith..
The Zelkova Assistant is Kaede..
If you ever played just the .hack games . oh and if this sounds rude I’m sorry, but if you beat all 4 volumes to it you would know that the girl in the wheelchair is aura. Thanks for all of the images on your website and info about .hack g.u. and all.
also everything that is happening in .hack g.u. and the cat and balmung and all is from the earlier .hack games. If you didn’t play it yet, you should. Then you will know that the knew characters that are appearing are from the earlier .hack games
WHAT!? That girl looks ABSOLUTLY NOTHING like Aura.I have played the first four games many many times and just becuase a character has long white hair does not make them aura. There are no similarites whatsover asides from the hair. Stop acting like a know it all like you have the answer, its a theory you have not a fact.
Darkwing, please pay attention to what I actually wrote. I have played the first four games many many times. I know who the hell Orca and Balmung are, hence me acutally using their names in my post. I know all the characters and believe as many people have commented on that that is portrayed in the post.
I agree with Onitheris, the person in the wheelchair looks nothing like Aura.
I’m sorry if it sounded rude but what I heard from part 3 in the review that was posted I heard that ovan was looking for Aura. So it must be her if not sorry for the wrong answer I didn’t mean to affend you in any way. sorrry.
It’s ok, guess I didn’t quite understand what you were talking about. Not your fault or anything :D
yeah i really read all of what she wrote. and I change my mind the girl in the wheelchair only kind of looks like her. Sorry about the aura thing I just read it on an article my bad. So xebek did you beat .hack g.u.? So anyway do you know when .hack g.u. part 2 is coming out my guess is mybe its coming out in feb or something. oh and onitheris sorry that i sounded that i was a know it all i didn’t mean it really
oh about what I said that I read what you wrote sorry I messed up after you said it was alright. That I said what she wrote what I meant was what you wrote. It gave me a good idea whats going to happen in part 3 in .hack g.u. Hope we can be friends.
Yeah no problem. I have played Vol. 1 of G.U. and I’m not sure about a release date. Not sure if its finalized by my guess would be around yours.
yeah what I heard that its going to come out in january 18th 2007. So I think the date should be right. Oh and I just now finished beating vol.1 of G.U. The ending was fantastic. I also beat the 4 ealier .hack games too.
oh above I mean in japan its going to be released.
There’s a theory that Haseo, at the end of the series, takes over as the new ‘Key Of Twilight’, or the God of the World. While that may be a kinda bleak ending, the theory shows him being infected by AIDA (Becoming an Unreturner?) And he mentions that ‘Everything that has happened so far….It has all been related to me.’ Personally, I’m hoping for a happy ending, but it’s entirely possible that Haseo ‘dies’, or at least ceases to exist in the real world.
…Oh, and apparently, he’s fixed by the hackers of Net Slum (the airship.)
that’s cool and all. I just can’t wait until part 2 comes out. I’m sooo excited.
2 Weeks to go, guys. Wait for it…
im suffering, NEED VOL 2
I don’t think vol.2 will be out in North america by the 18th. I believe (not saying it is) it will come out mid febuary to early March. Afterall dubbing is an long and hard process. And vo.3 i dont think it will be out till June, but theres a possiblity that they will realese vo.2 and 3 at the same timew in like April or something.
My theory is part 2 is coming out in mid to late march. Remember the original series, each game out 6 months apart. OK! Thats all I gotta say
No, guys. The third volume is out on the 18th. The 2nd Volume, in english, is out on February 20th.
hey how do you know that did you hear from someone. Well I hope so it will go out on that date yay.
If you go to youtube, you could see the movies for vol.2 and vol.3
Wow, thanks for the correction, Chan. I’ll be checking my local store around Feb.20. But I can I know what happens in vol.1 when you complete the Book of 1000? I just need a few monsters and items. please tell me!
Finally got it. Without too many spoilers…
1.) Yes, there ARE deaths. People kick the bucket permanently here, folks.
2.) There’s a LOT of post-game content.
3.) The trailer is completely misleading. Cleverly, an important section of the audio doesn’t synch with what actually happens.
4.) Yes, there is Cubia. But, he’s not related to the problems currently plaguing The World.
5.) While the main plot cannot be changed, this game DOES have alternate endings…To a point. All fans will be very, very happy about this.
6.) Three characters (and maybe four) are from the first series. This does not include the obvious; Y’know, Kuhn being Sieg and Endurance being Elk.
7.) There’s no ‘Deus Ex Machina’ ending here, like Aura’s resurrection in the last game of the first series.
I knew the Endrence was Elk but I had no idea that Kuhn was Seig
So,yeah, can someone please answear my last question, and are you sure the next one comes out on Feb.20? The guys at my local game store say otherwise. Thanks in advance!
As far as I know you only get wallpapers and things like that. You don’t even need EVERY item and monster to complete the books, as it will give you the third rank with 3 or 4 missing. The only things I’ve heard that are important to have before Vol. 2 would be the doppleganger kill because its item gives you access to super weapons in Vol. 2 or something.
As for the release date, I think Feb 20 is still a tenative release date. In other words, its the best guess based on what the company has said, it could even be a date that the makers gave however its tenative so it can easily change. I’m sure you can preorder it now, but expect it to be pushed back. Either way, no official release date has come out.
Doppleganger Kill? How do you get that, and it yields super weapons? please clarify
What area is the doppelganger in?
Doppleganger is a monster that will always be 8 levels above you, in order to get him to appear you have to kill everything in an area and then do nothing, stand still, for 10 minutes. After that start walking around and you will eventually get an arrow around you pointing to where he is. Best strategy to beat him is go into fight with full awakening bar and pound the crap out of him with Beast Awakening at the start because he heals himself so it can be a hard fight.
You get an item that supposedly you need to get two of the best weapons in the game in Vol. 2, thats all I know about the super weapons.
Do you know which area or word key it is to get the iteam from the doppleganger.
It was any area that worked for me. just go to a random level, I went to one that was only slightly below my level so I could build up an awakening bar, but aside from that it can be any area.
thanks i’ll do it right now.
The item it drops is called ‘Own King’. Is there a chance you can get multiple ones, and is there an exact idea of what they actually do?
well I really don’t know yet
I just heard that volume 2 is due April 9th or May 9th. can anyone confirm this?
What I’ve heard from gamespot that the producer said that the release date is May 8,2007. If you want to go check go ahead. That’s what I looked up. But they always change the date sometimes.
yeah i heard that it’s coming out May 8th
Toyo, sorry I had to delete your comment. I have a spoiler policy for Vol. 3 as stated in this post here: http://xebek.animeblogger.net/?p=620 all actual spoilers as in you know for a fact or are citing something that knows for a fact what happened won’t be tolerated. It’s really hard for me because I love .hack so much, I will enjoy Vol. 3 if I don’t know what will happen. I don’t care as much for Vol. 2 or anything but if you know for sure what happens in Vol. 3 please don’t post it, only theories from people who haven’t watched or read or played it please.
Sorry Xebek!!!! i’m really sorry its my first post in blogs 3: How stupid of me to not check the rules…..sorry I hope I didn’t cause much damage. But I suggest all of you stay away from wiki and youtube x3 If you don’t want to ruin the ending. I couldn’t help myself but to watch them =_=; Darn it why do they have to take ages to translate…. sorry again Xebek I am a big baka x3
Don’t worry about it at all. Its not like this is a normal website with rules posted, you would have had to go looking so not your fault, I’m not mad. Just don’t do it again :D
can you give me the link to the video? thanx in advance :)
btw, the pictures are awesome :)
Rumors are only that, just rumors.
I know everything about vol. 1, and 2. Some bits and pieces of 3. But cant assume anything about three yet.
Didn’t reply to my comment…
Sorry, I was busy and overlooked your previous comment. I just found the video at www.dothackers.net I can’t really give any more specific of a place there as I don’t really remember.
that’s ok. I’m sure your a busy guy. I know what it’s like :)
why does Kite join your pary? and i got the own king and the best way to find it is to follow this…
Doppelganger & “Own King” (Key Item)
You can only find the Doppleganger after level 8. Beware, the Doppleganger is extremely powerful. He has all the skills you have, has the exact same HP and SP as you do, but he is 8 levels higher than you and all his stats are higher than yours except for HP and SP.
I reccomend you fight him at the end of game when all your characters are at level 50. I also reccomend going to an area where the Lucky Animal Sleipner is located, like Essential Red Plum’s Resort. Find Sleipner and kick him. Now wait 10 minutes, don’t do anything, don’t even touch your controller.
When 10 minutes is up, go wander around the field. A red arrow will point towards the Dopplganger when you are near him. A message will appear on screen, then the edge of your screen will be cloudy. Run toward him and activate a fight. Right when you start the battle, Sleipner will come in reduce Doppleganger’s Health by half.
Now use Beast Awakening, be sure you have Silabus and Piros for this to work effectively. Equip a broadsword and he should go down in no time. However, he is able to cast spells to heal himself, and he is constantly regaining HP ans SP throughout the fight.
By defeating him you get the Own King, a Key Item that transforms in one of the later volumes.
Hope this isn’t much of a spoiler but Aura IS in G.U. vol. 3
But no, the girl shown in the trailer is DEFINITELY not her. Just thought I’d clear the air. I also have a question. From what i’ve read on vol.2’s trailer and vol.3, do you learn data drain without Skeith and get the Lost Weapons in vol.2 or vol.3?
I also believe that the Skeith in vol.3 is a joint effort and as vor V2 of Skeith, i think that it changes to that because of the Job Extension. Just my 2 cents
Yeah, from what I gathered your correct in getting data drain wihtout Skeith and I think you get Lost Weapons starting in Vol. 2 but not sure.
So, u hyped about vol.2
…2 weeks to go
I just saw a picture for vol.2 with haseo using his lost weapon (called Death Cutter), so you must get the lost weapons in vol.2. baller….
Do you guys know anything else about the weapons you get from the “Own King”?
So, what do you guys think that the key enhancements for vol.2 will be?
Personally, i think the upgraded skill trigger looks baller
side note: baller=cool
er, sorry for the noob like question here, but how exactly is ‘Gorre’ prenounced?
Is it like ‘Gore’ or ‘Gore-ah’
little lost here…………………….. :(
I heard that the On King weapons are best in all three games. Not highest lvl, but best. You get the dual swords and broadsword in Vol. 2 and then fight doppleganger again and get another weapon in Vol. 3 from him.
As for Gorre, I’m not too sure. I’ve always said it in my head and to my friend “Gore” but I think I heard it in the Interim Reports as being pronounced “Gore-ay”
Another question. The interim reports only came with the limited edition of G.U. vol.1 right?
Well, i bought mine a little late so how else could i watch them. Do i need to watch them to understand alot of the story if i have played and beat the original 4 many, many times?
plz reply…
plz?
Sorry, I answered your question on your other comment, thought you saw it. You can find the Interim Reports on YouTube. I would suggest watching them, as only the first four are recounts of the previous games, with new information regarding G.U. The other eight are much more interesting, talking about what happened between the end of the games and Roots.
The release date is May 8, and is it true that u can change weapons in the middle of battle, and is it true that orca and balmung will be in it?
Oh, and supposedley, an online version, where you can make your own charecter, is being mad 4 PS3.
Yeah, you will only have four skill triggers, but they can be from different weapons. If you have scythe equipped and choose a dual blade skill it will switch in the battle. As for Balmung and Orca, they are kind of in it. Things that look like them are, as for the people who played those characters in old game, they are different people. I know one of them is a particular person from new game.
But, will it randomly select the other weapon or will you have to assign a specific weapon to a skill. And sorry for not noticing your other comment Xebek. I have a comment on the “.hack//G.U. Vol. 2 Slated for Summer Release at Xebek’s Blog” so check it out ASAP plz. Thank.
btw, if this sounds rude i am incredibly sorry
That’s awesome! regarding MoMo’s comment. And if it is true, it will probably take place in the World R:1 i’m guessin.
And if it stays canonicaly true, it will be released later this year, but who knows with Bandai Namco….
The weapons aren’t random. Only Dual Swords would be assigned to something like Blade Dance, the skills weren’t randomly assigned to weapons before, it’ll be like that this time.
I apologize for breaking the rules if I am, but the person in the wheelchair is Ovan’s sister, Ina. Oh, and Orca, Balmung and Kite play a major part in Vol. 2 and 3.
Good to hear about Orca and Balmung. Is it true you get Gabi as a party member? And if anyone hears more of the PS3 .hack, post more, I’m probably not going to post on hear for a while, my mom is pissed about my math grades!
Xebek: Not exactly what i meant, i mean, when you use the skill and it switches the weapon, would the WEAPON be random?
MoMo: Sorry for the personal question here, but are u in highschool as well?
I said first phrase the weapons aren’t random. There are a set of skills for each weapon and you mix them however you want for your four. If you have dual swords equiped and do a skill that was in the dual swords set then you’ll keep the weapon. If you pick another skill you change weapon o whatever weapon that skill is from.
Xebek: nice to know about the weapons
Gonyea: Yeah, I’m in magnet high school, so if my overalll average is below a C, I get kicked out, so I have to take math during summer, or I have to go to my home school! So I can’t play dot hack when I get it!
MoMo: That sucks man.. chances are i would probably get kicked out. Anyway, good luck man. :)
Xebek: What i mean is that, ok i will use an example:
say i am using the twin blades and i open the skill trigger.
i select Bone Crusher(broad sword) and i have the Broad Legged and the Broad Wings, which one would it pick?
I’m sorry i didn’t make that clear enough before
P.S. MoMo: Continue to reply man and focus on that math!
Yo, thanks! I finally get about the whole weapons thing, and I’m officially enrolled in summer school, at my area school, which is infested with gang violence and drugs. Guess the game will have to wait… )-:
I don’t really know how it decides what weapon to take if you have two broadswords, guess we’ll find out soon enough.
Xebek: Well, it’s not like we have to wait TOO much longer….
I really hope that it actually comes out May 8th. Me and my dad are going out next weekend to search, just like we did March 16th, hehehe..
MoMo: That doesn’t sound like a really safe place to be going to summer school, man, call me whatever, but do your mom or dad KNOW or CARE about that.
…personally I would hate summer school. Try to bribe them lol.
Fight the power man….fight..the..power
I just saw the vol.2 and vol.3 trailers that you talked about (a little late but that’s not the point…)
They are I-C-R-E-D-I-B-L-E!!!
They kick major ass!!!
(just thought i would state this…)
…sorry for the third comment, i know you hate that but, I was looking at www.dothackers.net and I saw they used the name that I thought of for vol.3
thought i’d point that out
plz don’t get mad :(
ok, that’s really tripping me out, did I not say that vol.3 would be called REDEMPTION!?!?!
I should get SOME credit
sob’s
I need to say that Gabi is not a part of your team, but Azure Kite, Balmung and Orca can be party members. Oh, and so can Zelkova.
Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, Zelkova might be Helba from .hack because he controls Net Slum, Endrance is Elk, and Haseo is Sora, but he lost his memory of his time with Tsukasa via data drain, and his parents never told him what happened when he woke up from his coma.
Yes, I know all of that, as I’ve already said most of it in the above section but thanks. Zelkova is also likely Helba just from the fact that it shows he has a hacked character with the horns.
The thing thats greatest about .hack, and whats fun about G.U. is figuring out who these people are. There are plenty of people so mysterious that they could easily be former characters. I know who Balmung is G.U. (As in, I know who the person who played Balmung in IMOQ plays now) and I’m sure there are plenty of others. Gabi seems pretty mysterious, so the list could be quite long. I just don’t want to spoil myself to vol 3 so if you know for a fact who someone is because tis revealed in Vol. 3, don’t say it here please.
Oh, come ON!!!
give me SOME credit..
the online version of dot hack never came to america it was in japan as .hack//fragment but its servers went down at then end of last year.
u can check it out at dothackers.net
Wassuupp! I still have to go to summer school, but I got volume 2 from a connection of mine that works in best buy near school! I beat it with 100% completion in the book of 1000 yesterday. FREAKIN AWSOME! So, any info on the online version of .hack?
Gonyea: thanks for the concern. My bro gave me a knife for protection, but I don’t think I’ll need it, I’m a black belt in judo ;-)
Hey everyone! Do you all know what the words Kazubolo (Salvador Aihara) gives you when you find out his true identity in Mac Anu’s Mercenary district? PLEASE RESPOND. Also, what are they for?
MoMo: Wassup man, the only thing i need to do is clear bike missions 1,2, and 5
concerning your question, it is Nurse Carnival, but it was only used for a contest in Japan, and replied by PasserBy…
Do you think vol.3 will come out Oct.15th?
MoMo: LOL (concerning the Judo comment)
So the words he gives you are pretty much useless. And I also heard about the release date. I’ll try and confirm this.
I just have to say this, I hope Haseo hooks uo with Alkaid, they are meant for each other!
Well…..
In a way you can….
that’s all im gonna say b/c of the spoiler policy
C’mon, tell me! I’m dying here!
Anyone wanna tell me if Alkaid and Haseo hook up? C’mon!
Sorry if this is a spoiler Xebek, but the kid is dying here..lol
Well, at the end of Vol.3 there is this thing called the Max Affection Event. Apparently you give someone with max affection an item and the following happens:
Atoli:Marriage
Alkaid:Marrage (there MoMo)
Pi:Marriage
Bordeaux:Marriage
Kaede:Marriage
Saku;Marriage
Shino:Marriage
Tabby:Marrage
Endrance:Marriage(lol)
Kuhn:Friendship
Matsu:Friendship
Silabus:Friendship
Gaspard:Friendship
…..and well, you get the point (the rest I believe are friendships)
Satisfied MoMo
Again, sorry if this is a spoiler Xebek
It’s ok, I knew that much already. Just figured I’d let him either figure out himself or someone else tell him. You seemed to be having a rather fun conversation between just the two of you.
Thank you both! I was freakin dying here! You have officially made my whole summer! Now I know who to go on quests most! Meaning Alkaid and Atoli, maybe I’ll get both ;-) Which would be Cool. I recently started Summer school, so I can’t play as much, but hell yeah!!!!!!!!!! Can’t wait till the next one! Gonyea, you are the MAN!!!
P.S Are you joking about all this?
Hey, I’ll get me Pi too! ;-)
I’m not joking. Although, I only knew that there were multiple scenario wedding scenes, didn’t know it went to the extent of giving someone an item and expanded to friendships and every single female character.
But yeah, no joke. At least not with Shino, Atoli, or Alkaid.
Well, thats actually a pretty cool feature. Alkaid and Haseo may actually make a good match. Bu then agian, Atoli is really into him. But are the wedding scens from their in-game avatars, or actual people, because with alkaid being 16, that would be, well, not likely. But please give me more info.
Also, don’t Saku, Bordeux, hate you. You really don’t know Kaede. But all the others, except Endrance, make sense. Anyone else agree?
Well, thats the reason I’m not too sure of the Saku and Bordeux thing. However, with Endrance they are pretty much playing off the whole loving Haseo pretty much, despite gender.
However, either way the whole marriage thing at the end is really just a bonus. It doesn’t affect the story, its completely optional. In that sense, its just for fun which can be while some of the more odd choices are excusable. I’m sure Saku and Bordeux turn around a bit as characters in Vol. 3, but even if not its again, just a bonus for fun thing to see.
As for the actual wedding, yes its the in game models. Its again not really canonical to the story, its just a bonus for fun thing so it doesn’t need to be rooted in reality. The weddings are all in game, which would excuse the ages.
Well, thanks for the explanation. Cleared the whole thing up for me.
MoMo: Glad I made your summer, but i didn’t think mere info could do that :) lol
Xebek: I have the pictures that show screenshots of each of the variations. I could send them to you if you want.
SIDE NOTE: Bike Missions 1,2,5 are REALLY starting to aggrivate me…
ANOTHER SIDE NOTE: Can’t wait for vol.3
YET ANOTHER SIDE NOTE: :)
oh, btw, i think you only get ONE item for the Max Affection event.
just thought I would say that before many of you start trying to be .hack pimps. lol :)
Xebek: I would really appreciate the pics ;-)
It took me a whole night to get 1st place in each mission, And I cannot wait for vol.3
Gonyea: Well, being a .hack pimp would be pretty cool, if at all possible ;-)
My bad, Gonyea. I would really appreciate the pics. But I can’t help with the bike missions..
MoMo:Ok,well if you can give me your e-mail, i can send them to you..
NOTE: If you feel insecure posting it, mine is gonyea_is_a_pimp@yahoo.ca, so just send me an email
I had to delete your comment tourshiro because just from what I read of it it was spoiling too much and i wasn’t going to take the chance and read all of it and get spoiled. I’ve said here before no actual spoilers about Vol. 3 and your comment seemed to come close to that. Please don’t comment spoilers for the game.
to Xebek: oh I’m sorry dude its just that it was my first time coming to this website and someone said something about balmung tri-edge and orca so I want to correct them that all.
from last comment
ultra sorry for that dude I hope I didn’t spoil it for anyone. I’m just so impatient with the dates of games that I just have to get on the internet and search for info on the game. So ultra sorry to anyone who happen to read my comment. I’m a ultra bone head. So are you like the creator of this website Xebek. I could always give tips on the vol 2 since I just got it 3 days ago and already beat it and I’m super mad that I play the game none stop.
can I at least tell them the date for the game its uuuuunnnnnbbbbbeeeeaaaarrrraabbbbblllllee!?
I told all my friends today because I’m known to tell them when our favorite game are to come out. so……… I forgot what I was about to say. Oh yeah the reason I came here was because I was looking for pictures of Azure Kite, Balmung,and Orca because I’m a talented artist as far as anime goes, and I read a summary of what someone said and I had to open my big mouth trying to explain who they really were. I know a lot more but now that I came back and saw what you said I’m not going to tell If I do it will be kinda and kinda not fake. Pretty much hints.
I’m about to continue my quest to finish my picture hunt of orca. I’ll be back to check on what you say
It would be ultra awesome if they came out with an online “World”. Except for .hack fragments. I’m talking about R:2 version and you have a variety of how your characters look like. And they had event character such as Haseo, Kuhn, Azure Kite, and so on. Dude that would be so awesome. And you could make a guild. I know there’s a game close to it but I’m not a big fan of it. But my friends are. World of Warcraft. I hope bandai or the creators of .hack try to make a online game of it. They’re coming out with an online dragonball z game but not .hack, that sucks.
If anyone needs help with something in .hack vol 2 just ask and Xebek I’m sorry if this is a spoiler but as everyone knows when haseo fight kite for the first time when he was in his third form.(the movie cutscene) Kite or tri edge was not actually aiming for haseo but he was actually aiming for I’m going to let you guess for five second hold on maybe twenty five (jepordey song)……………………………………………….. time up it was Ovan.
He didn’t intentionally try to data drain haseo. I always didn’t like Ovan.
can you go past level 150 in vol 3 because if we can’t I’m going to be ultra pissed.
No problem about the spoiler, you didn’t know and I didn’t really read that much before deleting it. The bit about Azure Orca and Balmung I knew but it looked like you said more.
Anyways, welcome to this site, try and consolidate your comments a bit more. I did some for you, but you posted like seven in a row. Posting separate comments for separate ideas and such are fine, but on one pot consolidate them a bit.
You can go ahead and give any dates you want, but just don’t promise anything to anyone if you aren’t sure.
I don’t think you can go past lvl 150.
Rock on so when I went to look up the date because I saw on youtube that someone was looking up the date and some how someone said the fall of this year. I also saw that when I watched a movie for it before vol. 2 came out. So I looked it up and it lead me to bandai.com, and they said the head of the company said they were planning on releasing it Fall of 2007. So for now the date is Fall of 2007 but just like Vol 2 they delayed it before it came out May 8th. So for now I’m hoping it’s 2 or 4 months at the most because I’m level 100 and I can’t level up and all my weapon levels are at the highest they can go. Also I got ever single epathae’s weapon however you spell that along with the doppleganger’s weapons. So I’m really intisapating for this game to come out soon.
Last nigth I guess my post didn’t get in but I saw someone were having problems with the bike mission so since I had a problem getting the 2 course at number 1. My time was 9′86 so I found a glitch. When you are about to get a king chim, right before you hit it press select button and then press circle and you should automatically win.
Welcome to the forum, tourshiro!(sorry Xebek)
Well, I also checked out Bandai, and saw Fall as the release date. Oh, I also loathe Ovan with a passion. Well, interesting to know about the Azure knights(I read ur post before it was deleted) Also, I agree with ur .hack online idea, badass it would be!
Yeah, I wish they would come out with an online .hack. This is crazy, why aren’t they coming out with an online game “The world.” It would be like World of Warcraft but better.
First of all, thanks to Gonyea for sending me awsome pics of volume 3.
Xebek: Hey, oculd I post them? (there of the weddings) If so, please respond..
didn’t aura like change because in the terminal disc they refer to her when this guy was talkin about his last day in the world R1. anyway he says that he meets up with what appears to be a wanderin Ai or somethin and it says that “she has adbandoned the individual and became a god”. I think she was referin to aura so that might explain the costume change.
OMG!!!!
BLACK EYES???
MUST HAVE….RED…PUPILS!!!
AHHHHH!!!!!!
I GOTTA ADD THIS GAME TO MY COLLETION!!!!!!
Buddy…Xebek…you gotta let me talk to you…if you can..my IM is the-no-mercy-warrior@hotmail.com ….so…please respond ^^thanks
can anyone confirm the release date that i found. i know its aroung fall but i saw a date for sept. 24 2007. If so i cant wait
sry bout the name lol i know its retarded :) i just wanted a quick thingy lol. (don’t want to embarress myself calling it the wrong thing) This is Hi i suck.
Haseo Xth form: You’re comment seemed to regard spoilers and I’m not allowing for any spoilers that talk about Vol. 3. You can theorize but it sounded like you knew for sure so please refrain from comments like that.
I don’t think the date has been officially confirmed by Bandai, until then its just random guesses that I don’t pay attention to. There were a lot of release dates mentioned for Vol. 2 before the official one and most were wrong so I’m just going to wait till the official announcement.
ok sry lol. If u like to know alot google video helps alot. Just type .hack gu volume 3 and you get lots of videos and stuff. Some are subtitled. Again sry about the spoiler. Was hard to keep in. I already know everything that happens in vol. 3. It’s VERY cool.
Ok back to just chatting about it. Is it just me or do you get chill bumps everytime you see the english trailer for vol 3 at the end of vol 2. :)
Yeah, its odd even though the Japanese tailer with real movie shots has a lot more, theres something chilling about the one at the end of Vol. 2
Pimps are people too :-)
I’m not going to really warn again, I’ll just delete comments that are spoilers and there was a whole slew of them just now. If you’ve played the game any comment from you that says anything that happens in it isn’t allowed.
There’s no need to be like a game admin. Just say to me i don’t like spoilers that’s why i deleted your post…..
I have repeatedly said in past comments just like five comments above yours that I don’t want spoilers, I wasn’t talking to just you or anything and I’m not entirely blamming you, just don’t post any more spoilers.
Wth is the point in just posting mindless spoilers like that anyways? If nobody fucking asked for what happens all your doing by spoiling and telling every damn thing that happens is showing off that you know what happens and ruining it for anyone else. Fine you know it, doesn’t mean you have to be an asshole and ruin of everyone else. If they want to find out then they would seek it out, but don’t just mindlessly post it everywhere thinking you are special for knowing it.
To ‘To Momo’:Yes, pimps are people too (-;
Onitherisis: I agree with you completely
Xebek: If anyone is a repeat offender with spoilers, just be like a game admin and delete them! (-;
HaseoXth I was the same when I got on this website but mine got deleted but your theory was wrong but I wont say anymore
Oh yeah Xebek, I think this is really the right date because I first searched for the date of Vol.2 I went to some dot hack offical website and the head of bandai released the date and gave a specific but they just said the fall some we may have to wait for the offical date. So anyone who wants to know just go to a game website such as IGN.com or most likely to this website Bandai.com the company of the game and look for the date. And the september 24th date is what you propably saw off the Vol.3 movie trailer.
Can someone tell me about this one thing about .hack gu volume 3. HOW LONG CAN THEY KILL US WITH SAYING ITS CLOSE TO BEING OUT. I can’t wait to get it. Can anyone tell me why there’s that weird, white version of haseo in his third form? If you can thx.
Btw Xebek ROCKS
:-)
Can someone tell me if u get the 4th Epitaph user in vol 3 and does that person use a fan?
Yes you do and yes he does.
Please direct all future comments that would go to this post at this post here:
http://xebek.animeblogger.net/?p=847
It’s the same post expect with theories and impressions based on playing Vol. 2
I know who that he or she is but Xebek got on to me the first day I got on this website and he deleted it because I was giving too many spoilers out so sorry can’t give you the answer but if you pay attention to vol.1 you’ll figure it out and you’ve seen him in the game before so thats the only hint I can give you and he alway ordering people around also. So thats all
