*bounce around like a maniac*
I can not WAIT for this come out. Though I also admit, I'll be sad when it does because it will be over. I love love love .hack, the GU trilogy has been very fun. I hated Haseo with such a passion at the start of the first game, he really develops into a deep and interest character however. I also love Atoli.
I was put off at first, by the crazy changes in game play and tone from the first series, but after getting about half way through the first of the series I was hooked. It's more mature than the original four, more character development, more world interaction and more sidequests and things to do in the World. And also, no farming for virus cores. *shudders*
And oh my gosh was I shocked at the plot twist in the second game *boggles*
