.hack//G.U. (Video Game)	comment	Taking place after the events in .hack//SIGN and the original .hack games, the popular MMORPG "The World" is open for business yet again. Well, the new World. The old one was destroyed when the servers mysteriously burned down. The new world is a bit Darker and Edgier these days with all the Player Killing. The PKK (Player Killer Killer) from .hack//Roots, Haseo, has become legendary in his own right. As a hunter; he has killed hundreds of Player Killers and has gained the title The Terror Of Death. Yes, the same title the first Boss in the first game series had. He is hunting down a mysterious Player Killer known as Tri-Edge, for this mysterious Tri-Edge PK'd Haseo's girlfriend Shino, and she fell into a coma in real life.After being attacked and Data Drained by Tri-Edge, Haseo is found by a mysterious organization known as Raven, and joins its ranks, unleashing a hidden power in his character data known as Skeith.All the while, a mysterious computer phenomenom called AIDA is threatening the existence of "The World" and quite possibly the entire Internet.Like its predecessor the game is split into multiple parts, or volumes: Volume 1: Rebirth Volume 2: Reminisce Volume 3: Redemption Volume 4: Reconnection (HD Remaster only)Character Sheets are here, tropes related to them should be added there.A remaster of the game, .hack//G.U. last Recode was released in 2017 on PS4 and PC on Steam to celebrate both the original trilogy's tenth anniversary and the 15th anniversary of the the .hack franchise as a whole. It features various technical enhancements, a new form for Haseo, and an entirely new fourth volume of the story: Reconnection, â€œOr Dreams the Snakes That Spin the World Dream.â€�

.hack//G.U. (Video Game) / int_1439161f	comment	Heroic BSoD: Haseo has one after Shino becomes comatose. The later half of .hack//Roots is Haseo, having completely snapped from losing Shino, training and viciously hunting down Tri-Edge. In six months' time from Shino's coma to the beginning of Rebirth, he's still BSOD-ing, only now he's reached level 133, and killed so many PKs on his way to find Tri-Edge he gains his nickname, "The Terror of Death". Though this is borderline as Word of God has said that the Roots story wildly diverged from what was intended and developed for the G.U. Games, explaining the many inconsistencies and Out of Character moments. Also in Reminisce when Haseo discovers that Ovan is Tri-Edge. Atoli suffers BSODs a number of times through the first two games. Especially in Reminisce, where she starts killing members of her guild, thanks to Sakaki's manipulation of her emotions.

It's actually a cobbled-together version with the original largely gone after its servers were physically destroyed. And that's all just the back story and opening. As you make your way into the game and learn more about the people in it things just get darker from there.

The blessings essentially made the elves into demigods. Unfortunately, they grew proud and demanded to become true gods. In response, Sol furiously took away all the elves' blessings, turning them into humans.

.hack//G.U. (Video Game) / int_16972b3c	comment	Peninsula of Power Leveling: It's possible to level grind on enemies near or at the maximum level attainable in Volume 3 - get a steam bike upgrade that allows you to stun enemies when you collide with them, then go to field areas around levels 140-150 where the objective is "Defeat the Boss". Ram the boss with your steam bike to stun them for the whole battle, and they'll likely be too slow to get attacks in during the short periods that stun status lets them move, and make sure to bring plenty of SP-restoring items and spell items so you'll rack up hits fast. Have fun chaining Rengekis. Watch out for DoppelgÃ¤ngers, though. The area Delta: Screaming Idling Princess. It's a Level 11 area that is actually a glitched mirror of a quest area. It has the monster Azul Sachem, a Level 90 monster, even in Vol. 1 (where the level cap is 50). While in Vol. 1 it's named "-" and has very low stats, in the sequels they take their regular stats, so you can go in there at the beginning of Vol. 2 to Level Grind.

To show her "advanced skill" that leads to Haseo accidentally releasing his Avatar in despair she will pull out a free beast mode awakening and combo him once you lower her HP enough. If you're overleveled and knock out her two partners first then it will literally come out of nowhere just to justify her "strength".

The trailer in general suggests that the AIDA Server will take up a large portion if not most of the volume: instead it covers as little as the first hour. The trailer in Reminisce for Redemption suggests that Xth Form will be used against Ovan instead of being just the last 10% of the story. Cubia isn't mentioned at all, either.

If the difference is six or more levels levels you won't even make you opponent flinch. Unless you have some serious skills, tons of healing items, or resort to hit and run tactics, you really shouldn't fight enemies under-leveled. This can actually lead to hilarious cases of abuse, such as having the Doppelganger die from having a monster dozens of levels above him thrown at him, or the Final Boss of the 3rd game killing itself in one attack by having an overly low level ally equipped with a counter customized armor.

While she also still seems to be a proud PK-er, she's the only one who gives Haseo her member address and she herself has stopped trying to PK or harass him or those close to him. She justifies it as wanting to get closer to PK him, but it becomes very obvious she legitimately wants to make amends and befriend him properly, as reading between the lines show the two of them are very much alike in many ways and it's implied she noticed that, but their otherwise-similar dysfunctions caused to become bitter enemies at first.

.hack//G.U. (Video Game) / int_2804d516	comment	Master of None: In-universe, the Adept Rogue character class is generally viewed as inferior to those who value statistics over skill; while the Adept Rogues have versatility due to the ability to wield multiple weapons, they have lower stat increases and slower skill gains when compared to other classes. Haseo is unusually powerful for an Adept Rogue. This is commented on by several people on the forums, who are amazed he's such a high-level player with that class. His power with the class is well justified as he was only one of two people (the other being Taihaku) to finish the Forest of Pain event, a 100 floor dungeon which nabbed him multiple levels and as a reward skipped him right to his final job extension and majorly boosted his stats. It helps that the 3 classes he chose mesh well together, basically making him a Lightning Bruiser. Even after his De-power and even ignoring Skeith, once he regains his levels, Haseo remains a terrifying force for an Adept Rouge. And that's BEFORE Xth and 5th Forms.

.hack//G.U. (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae	comment	Awesome, but Impractical: Level 3 Arts in Volume 3. They look awesome, but are generally less powerful and useful than regular skills. note Level 3 Arts takes a lot of time but around Skill Level 28 onward it costs as much SP as of its last regular skill, to the point of costing less than them, and also it's possible to nearly spam them since the more you level the Skill the faster the trigger gauge will recover. However their worst flaw lies in the Beast Awakening, when their (often rather slow) speed isn't amplified, unlike the regular skills. Furthermore, the only Level 3 Art that gets a speed boost during Beast Awakening suffers from it by missing half its hits..

This class is great at healing and buffing abilities, but skilled physical attackers can easily take Harvest Clerics down with counter attacks, especially with hangeki attacks in the arena because these counter attacks cancel the magical abilities being attempted. Skilled players can Shoot the Medic First in the arena, so it is much better to teach every member of an arena party healing spells including those that fix Status Effects rather than depending just on a Harvest Cleric for their healing needs. The only real advantage of having a Harvest Cleric in the arena is that one can execute much better healing and buffing spells than the spells that can be purchased from magic shops and be taught to party members.

A major side-arc of volumes 1 and 2 is Haseo slowly coming to the understanding they really are normal and not involved in any way with the AIDA troubles, and learning how to enjoy the game with them while avoiding getting them involved in his own personal feuds as much as possible.

.hack//G.U. (Video Game) / int_617f0563	comment	Heelâ€“Face Turn: A rather unusual case. When he was younger, Haseo's player Ryou Misaki was the antagonist PK Sora in The World v1, but loses his memory of it when Sora is data-drained by Skeith at the end of .hack//SIGN, putting Ryou in a coma. He later goes on to become the hero of the GU games and reunite with Skeith, within which is a copy of his lost self when eventually reconciles and fuses back into himself before achieving his Xth form. A straighter example would be Endrance, one of Volume 1's main villains, who saves Haseo from being put into a coma in Volume 2. Though even that serves as a diversion or Heel-Heel-face-Turn, when Endrance is later revealed to be ELK from the original games. Also, some of Kestrel's members, including the reviled IYOTEN and Asta, become Haseo's allies toward the end of Volume 3, though it's safer to say that they're cases of Enemy Mine, as there's no indication they've given up their PK-ing ways once The World is safe from Cubia's rampage. The greater crisis merely forces them on Haseo's side. The Moon Tree captains that had previously sided with Sakaki become "good guys" as well, more justifiable once Sakaki's crimes had been exposed by the next volume. However, of the Kestrel members, Bordeaux is a straight-up example. While she also still seems to be a proud PK-er, she's the only one who gives Haseo her member address and she herself has stopped trying to PK or harass him or those close to him. She justifies it as wanting to get closer to PK him, but it becomes very obvious she legitimately wants to make amends and befriend him properly, as reading between the lines show the two of them are very much alike in many ways and it's implied she noticed that, but their otherwise-similar dysfunctions caused to become bitter enemies at first.

While most anime versions tend to show a controller similar to that of a PlayStation controller - and in contrast with the originals - "Last Recode" mutes the voices whenever a button is mentioned, so the subtitles will say a button but the character might be saying something else to fit the actual controller they're using. Silabus in certain email chains also mentions using the portable virtual reality device called an M2D to play as well, which looks more like a cross between a joystick and a gaming mouse, making for probably radically different controls.

.hack//G.U. (Video Game) / int_6320eced	type	Gameplay and Story Segregation
.hack//G.U. (Video Game) / int_6320eced	comment	Gameplay and Story Segregation: While preparing for the arena tournament in Vol 1, Silabus asks if Haseo knows any Clerics; there's a fair chance you'd already taken him off adventuring with Atoli. Even though the game constantly picks on the topic of PK'ers predating on anyone, you never get assaulted by one, unless in story events or if you choose to enter in a Battle Area and face either one or a horde of monsters. In a cutscene in the first game Atoli prevents Haseo from kicking a Lucky Animal. At any other point before that when she is in your party she will never complain. No longer applies after, especially after a cutscene showing her eagerness to kick a Lucky Animal, required for a quest, showing her Character Development. Last Recode takes this a step further: the easiest way to kick a Lucky Animal without chasing it is to get close enough your party members will make a break for it to kick it; so long as it doesn't notice Haseo, it won't run away. This includes Atoli, so it's entirely possible you can take her to another one of her scripted areas and Atoli will beeline for it with this A.I. in effect even before her Character Development being okay with it. Haseo's in-game character level depends on how you grind his character, but story segments routinely describe how difficult battles and dungeons are with reference to what level Haseo's character is expected to be at the time rather than what you ground it to. This can lead to a somewhat contradictory display of a tough battle he barely wins in the cutscene when in actual combat he's winning with relative ease or vice versa. In addition to above, the Arena Battles reflect this the hardest and most infamously in Rebirth, where the fight with Alkaid is intended for Haseo to barely inch by before his opponent pulls a Beast Awakening and thrashes him enough to use his Avatar. It's possible, and in Last Recode incredibly probable thanks to the accelerated grind, for Haseo to be so overleveled that Alkaid's attack does scratch damage as a mild inconvenience at worst, but Haseo still gets floored and forces him into desperation. While Haseo and Atoli are the closest thing to an Official Couple the game has, it's possible to send the Marriage Promise Card to anyone else. So Haseo can go chasing after Atoli instead of Shino towards the finale of Volume 3, only to marry someone like Endrance due to the Promise Card.

Greeting Cards are great for boosting relationships with party members, but they come in finite amounts—once you use them up (like the Promise Card, of which you ONLY get one), they're gone for good. Some items can only be found in the volume that they show up in, so if you fail to get the item in that volume, you can never achieve 100% Completion for Ryu Book IV.

"Tri-Edge" Azure Kite is Aura's method of trying to stop AIDA herself, most Arena enemies perform a Heelâ€“Face Turn later on or are infected by AIDA, and even Ovan is just trying to perform a Suicide by Cop with Haseo because he can't stop the AIDA power in his arm himself. This is especially notable with Endrance and Alkaid, who are major arc villains of Volume 1 only to become two of Haseo's strongest allies by the end of Volume 2. Even the exceptionally antagonistic Bordeaux turns out to be no different from Haseo with a much less healthy background and pulls a Heelâ€“Face Turn postgame in an attempt to heal and mend, and IYOTEN and Asta are among those who answered Haseo's Gondor Calls for Aid, along with Bordeaux and other PKs. The only ones who are truly black and can't be wholly redeemed are Sakaki and Cubia, but even then, Cubia is excusable because it's not sapient to begin withnote no matter what the non-canon XXXX manga that made him a sentient AI would tell you, so has no concept of morality to be considered truly evil, leaving Sakakinote a ten-year-old boy who knew full well what he was doing and damn proud of it, as the only truly evil main character in the entire story.

However, if you were smart enough to bring someone in your party that has Rip Maen in his or her skill list and you chose Free Will or Life for the strategy, he or she will revive you if you wait long enough, allowing you to continue the battle as long as you are not in the arena whose rules state that a team is defeated if the leader is killed.

.hack//G.U. (Video Game) / int_79468fde	comment	Player Killing: Player killers, or PKs, who prey on players who do not consent to being killed by other players are generally considered griefers. The situation is so bad that CC Corporation has set up an arena for consensual battles and a program for bounty hunters to reward player killer killers, or PKKs, who kill off PKs who prey on unwilling players, and provide special rewards for those who kill off the worst of the worst PKs who are labeled Chaotic PKs and therefore are placed on a blacklist of the most wanted PKs. Interestingly, the Chaotic PKs are chosen through a competition by CC Corps on a regular basis. One of the quests you can go on in the third game has PCs with bounty hunter licenses act to test the Chaotic candidates, who are set up in a dungeon. Thus, the so-called "worst of the worst" are technically sanctioned in their roles.

Following her recovery and after the Cubia crisis, she tries to start over by properly exchanging member addresses, though her interactions with Haseo mostly have her being an incredibly obvious Tsundere.

Crimson VS is essentially a collectible card game, it is different than most card games in which you assemble your deck, and instead of directly battling enemies, you upload your deck to the internet and the server will automatch your deck against other people depending on your rank. The genius of this is that all you need to do within the game is assemble the deck, upload it, and you can go on playing GU, advancing in the plot, or do whatever. Then after some time, you can return to check your Crimson VS progress. Even better, battle replays will give you some sort of an idea to beat that particular opponent if you lost and replay wins hints you at combos that work. Incidentally, the Crimson VS all-time champion is Gaspard.

Yata's an information gatherer who knows more than any other character about AIDA and how "The World" works, similar to Wiseman with the Phases. But with Yata, a lot of information is given or held back based on how much use it will be for his own ends instead of Haseo's group as a whole and it's revealed he hoped AIDA would have chosen him instead of Ovan. Amusingly, Yata is Wiseman, so he ends up causing himself a lot of trouble for his changes in behavior. Atoli is one for the caged-bird heroine who wishes to fly away. Her "cage" is part due to Sakaki's influence and part due to her being helpless and relying on others without looking at consequences. Haseo's speech after freeing her from AIDA's influence essentially equates to Haseo can only do so much to help her and she will have to do the main part of freeing herself on her own.

You spend most of the series chasing after Tri-Edge but when you finally defeat him, Cubia suddenly shows up. Very observant players of the first game series might have seen it coming: Cubia is specifically mentioned in .hack//Quarantine to be the "shadow" of the Key of Twilight, born when it manifests its power. Therefore, when the Epitaphs were referred to as the Key in this series, alarm bells went off in some players' heads. This was also told straight-up to anyone who managed to obtain the Terminal Disk with the special edition release of Rebirth, then later included in every copy of the Last Recode compilation, which is the prequel to the games' lore and why The World R:1 was destroyed and rebuilt as R:2, which revealed the reason why the R:1 servers were destroyed is because one of the game developers wanted to PREVENT another Cubia from emerging, thus stole one of the Epitaphs, only for their coworker to continue their experiment in creating a Dummy-AI to run everything, and NO-ONE in the main cast had any idea that would happen. So...yeah, it was explained, but was meant to be an unexpected snarl to Ovan's master plan.

Matsu is an Adept Rogue who doesn't use broadswords, which basically makes him a Steam Gunner who can't be as powerful as dedicated Steam Gunners. He's also going up against Kuhn, who's importance to the story means you have to use him in your party. The only real trade-off is that Matsu can use stronger armor than Kuhn. Bordeaux joins as a playable character late into Volume 3. She's level 80 and equipped with a level 25 weapon, while everyone else in the game is already likely to be higher than level 120. She's also the same Blade Brandier class as 7 other characters on the roster already. There's nothing stopping the player from properly leveling and gearing her up, but she doesn't bring anything unique either, although having her around fills in more sides to her character that recontextualize her entire relationship with Haseo.

However, all of them are far less evil Greater Scope Villains to Sakaki; he serves as The Heavy in Volume 2 and 3 and tries to play The Chessmaster starting in Volume 1, causing more direct grief and damage to the heroes than anything Ovan directly does, and remains their biggest hindrance in dealing with the greater AIDA crisis, as he deliberately spreads it for his own gain. Cubia, meanwhile, is simply a consequence and loose end stemming from Ovan's defeat that no one intended.

They double the damage done by a skill and guarantees one boost in morale per other party member that is alive during the rengeki. Combos of 16 or more will create a boost in morale from some party members.

.hack//G.U. (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing Haseo is generally not nice in Volume 1, but he holds a particular contempt for Sakaki. Guess what Sakaki does later on... It goes further than that even: The scene with Sakaki and Atoli at the Lost Ground is a type of foreshadowing as well. The normally quiet and reserved Bo occasionally switches into Saku's more fiery and sarcastic dialogue patterns despite being the one in control. To thank Haseo for selling him the Dusty Miller at a discounted rate, Bo writes a post on the general board. The username on the board? "Sakubo". Atoli and Sakubo being Epitaph Users is also briefly foreshadowed when Haseo Awakens his own. It's stated previously that only Epitaph Users can see Avatars, and it seems fairly obvious that those two can see Haseo's. When Atoli finds out that her character model looks almost exactly the same as Shino's. At the end of a tearful rant, she shouts "I wanted you to look at me!" Guess what she's screaming during her Avatar fight... Yata has you meet his alt account Nala, which he's used as a sockpuppet to infiltrate Moon Tree, at Î˜ Clever Genius's Moon Raven.

Made worse if you have a rather cheery background / music set up at the time.

The AIDA server incident at the very beginning of volume 2 is an explicit case of this itself; the whole of the events on the server last about 5 to 10 minutes in real time by Yata's explanation, but can take up to 2 hours of gameplay and is implied to have lasted that long in the game.

Kuhn is Tomonari Kasumi, once Sieg and a former Lost One, as well as former boyfriend to Liminality's first protagonist, Mai Minase. Supposedly more mature, he's gained some skirt-chasing tendencies due to Mai breaking up with him out of immaturity in the seven-year interim. Yata is Takumi Hino, the former Wiseman, still the information broker of the cast, albeit with a more important position, and some baggage regarding his role in the grand scheme of things. Endrance is Kaoru Ichinose, once Elk. Aside from becoming one of a few Starter Villains, he becomes crucial in saving Haseo's bacon big time in two instances, even playing a minor gambit to ensure Haseo's success that Elk would never have been able to come up with. Best of all, Haseo is Ryou Misaki, the once-10-year-old behind Sora, the infamous Player Killer of SIGN, who lost his memories of ever playing R1 from being Data Drained and rendered comatose by Skeith, ironically for defying Morgana and saving the newly-awakened Aura. Returning to The World drags him back into a Network Crisis that renders others as comatose as he once was, facing many interactions that force him to grow up, and find the power to save everyone from the very entity that made him a Lost One, even reconciling with it.

In addition, the system is designed so that it's impossible to get more than three classes: an Adept Rogue gets four points to spend, but only three classes (Blade Brandier, Edge Punisher, and Twin Blade) cost one each, meaning that you can get them and have a useless point left over, get two of those and one two point class, get two of the two pointers (Flick Reaper, Tribal Grappler, and Lord Partizan), or one of the "basic" classes and one of the three-pointers.

Haseo is speechless, shocked, and eventually genuinely horrified when Skeith starts acting without him, and struggles to scream as Skeith attacks Alkaid. He appears to try and stop it, but is powerless against Skeith as he's filled with the memories of Endrance, Alkaid, and Antares all commenting on how he can't beat Alkaid without the Avatar despite his bluster and attempts to prove that he could. For Kuhn, Skeith is summed by Haseo to counter Kuhn's Magus. But when Skeith starts delivering one of the most brutal beat-downs in the series against Kuhn, Haseo outright panics and wills it to stop as much as it can but can't do anything about it and gets into genuine regret when Skeith uses Data Drain on Kuhn. Kuhn is at least able to get better afterwards easier than Alkaid, as he meant to teach him a lesson anyways.

The player can also have this; after the Bounty Hunter quest, other NPCs will start appearing in the fields and dungeons in Battle Areas that cannot be escaped using Smoke Screen, but Haseo and co. can enter to help if they so choose.

Realizing that she had no real reason to change sides beyond simply following "Master En" forces her into a massive existential crisis and leads to the point where she may potentially disappear from Bo's consciousness.

.hack//G.U. (Video Game) / int_b6e1d40b	comment	Acceptable Breaks from Reality: The World R:2 never crashes or lags, unless because of in-story events. The Save Stations: Not only do real MMORPGs not have anything of the sort, but in G.U. you start the next play session at the last save station you saved at rather than your desktop (unless you used that one last, which is itself another acceptable break). This actually helps add some realism to a story event early on in Disk 2. The series does justify save stations decently: it saves level progress and items gained, and characters will complain of lost progress and levels if they're ever PK'd. The affection meters are clearly not part of the Game Within a Game because you can increase them by sending other people emails and greeting cards. Yet they have level limits that depend on which of the three GU games you are playing, cannot be increased in The World when the other player's character is dead, and eventually you find in-game objects used to increase them. The game pauses when you check your menu, which shouldn't be possible if it was a real MMO and Haseo was checking his menu while the other players continued to act. Bikman's portrait sidequest logs every player you've talked to online and how many you have left to talk to. When a normal online game can contain millions of players instead of around 140 and have few indications of who you've talked to, it's probably something to be thankful for that Bikman's quest isn't much more difficult than it already is to track everyone down.

When it is emptied, the enemy is stunned, and is vulnerable to being slashed. Emptying this meter is the only way to stop an enemy avatar from hitting you with a Data Drain.

.hack//G.U. (Video Game) / int_d52d28b6	comment	Hypocrite: Sakaki and Matsu of Moon Tree constantly berate Haseo for being a PKK, stating that PKKs are no better than PKs. In a later quest, Matsu tells Haseo it's part of Moon Tree's duties to go into random areas and prevent PKers from attacking their victims. A two-fold specific example: while Sakaki might be able to get away with it, Matsu is violent and a former PK himself, and challenges Haseo to a fight in the same dungeon when Haseo is revealed to have attacked a PK earlier... despite Haseo preventing the attack and Matsu not even noticing it. PKs generally detest getting PKed themselves, and complain that a PKK like Haseo is a killjoy ruining their fun. Gameplay wise Alkaid accusing Haseo of cheating. To show her "advanced skill" that leads to Haseo accidentally releasing his Avatar in despair she will pull out a free beast mode awakening and combo him once you lower her HP enough. If you're overleveled and knock out her two partners first then it will literally come out of nowhere just to justify her "strength".

.hack//G.U. (Video Game) / int_db6230b7	comment	Haseo is unusually powerful for an Adept Rogue. This is commented on by several people on the forums, who are amazed he's such a high-level player with that class. His power with the class is well justified as he was only one of two people (the other being Taihaku) to finish the Forest of Pain event, a 100 floor dungeon which nabbed him multiple levels and as a reward skipped him right to his final job extension and majorly boosted his stats. It helps that the 3 classes he chose mesh well together, basically making him a Lightning Bruiser. Even after his De-power and even ignoring Skeith, once he regains his levels, Haseo remains a terrifying force for an Adept Rouge. And that's BEFORE Xth and 5th Forms.

.hack//G.U. (Video Game) / int_dca70c44	comment	Reasonable Authority Figure: Averted with the CC Corp higher ups this time around. Unlike Lios and the system admins in R1, who got better through Character Development and gave the .hackers their full support when the true scope of the threat was apparent, the current batch of CC admins are completely useless at best; more often, though, they're either obstructive, outright malicious, or damaging The World and its players through their sheer incompetence. They're painfully out of their depth and have no idea how to handle the AIDA epidemic, bowing down to the demands of a psychotic ten-year-old boy and granting him ultimate power over the system (which he, of course, abuses for all it's worth) in a desperate attempt to keep up the charade of control. They then attempt to cover up the entire fiasco by falsifying evidence and looking to scapegoat Ovan for the whole thing, despite knowing it goes far deeper, although it thankfully backfires thanks to the separate efforts of Professor Sugai, and an anonymous Yata. The only CC Corp members with a clue seem to be the ones in your own party, and none of them have much power in the company. Any others, like Pi's older brother Jun Bansyoya, who did have more power, were made a scapegoat like Junichiro Tokuoka before him. Bansyoya's log also indicate that Lios and the system admins in R1 were a minority, and the rest of CC Corp was, and always had been greedy, self-interested, and short-sighted bastards Another potential example is Genius from LINK, who was indicated to be active during this era, who shows SOME better self-awareness about the issue much like late-game Lios did.

Atoli's player loves birds, so she named her character after one and gave it the wing-cloak design. Thematically, she fits the vulnerable, "caged bird" heroine who is later set free to fly. Gaspard has a rather dog-like loyalty and affectionate nature that fits his design too. Notably, Gaspard's facial design looks more like a lab or retriever, dogs known for being friendly and sociable. On the opposite end, a more wild-looking design is a common NPC design you can find in fields attacking other players. Members of the minor NPC guild ZOO attempt to play this trope up too, but with much less depth.

Guess who becomes his target during most of the battle. Despite the notation in Gameplay and Story Segregation on the topic of PKs, Haseo is still feared for his prowess, potentially turning it into a Justified Trope; if you fight a PKer, there's a chance they'll express surprise and panic at the sight of Haseo showing up to help a potential victim, even more if you manage to catch them in the act again. The only one that doesn't show this fear is Bordeaux, who will pop up sometimes during story events, threaten Haseo, and often come close to PKing him before someone else shows up to defuse the situation. Kuhn's Magus is probably the easiest Avatar battle outside of the original AIDA <Anna> fights, even compared to Pi's Tarvos, your introductory boss battle to Avatar fights. This works in two ways: one with Magus being one of the easier Phases from the original quadrilogy aside from the bud ability (which Kuhn has and uses), and with the absolute beatdown Skeith gives Magus in the cutscene when Skeith goes berserk outside of Haseo's control.

That is, until the climax of the final volume, when all of Haseo's friends and allies, and even some enemies, show up to help him beat Cubia - at that point, they've all caught on to varying degrees. Played with by Antares. Antares is in a position to know a lot more about what's going on than most regular players you encounter, and seems to have more knowledge than others, but always plays it off - he was on Team Kuhn in the arena, but claimed he was just hired to do a job, and always seems to know everything Haseo needs to advance (especially his Job Extensions) despite not playing an Adept Rogue and acting as if he's "just" a mentor. Late into the second game, though, he guides us, using another character from Haseo's past, to a Lost Ground where he can obtain Haseo's ultimate scythe and the other Epitaph Users weapons, and reveals that he was passing on information left to him by a mutual friend in Phyllo, who knew more than most characters. Antares thus had access to information, but was willfully ignorant of all the details, focusing more on just helping fulfill a friend's dying wish and then just enjoying the kid he was training.

.hack//G.U. (Video Game) / int_f4a0408f	comment	Wake-Up Call Boss: Greedy Cervantes. When you first run into him shortly after clearing the Bounty Hunter Test quest in Rebirth, he will inflict a Total Party Kill against your party unless you manage to seriously outsmart him in the battle, you avoid clearing the Bounty Hunter Test quest until you have leveled up, or you avoid entering battle areas until you level up. For avatar battles, Azure Flame God is an odd example since he's actually the 'final boss of Rebirth. This boss has some dangerous attacks that does a lot of damage and it's at this point where you can't just mash attack and tank hits with reckless abandon and still expect to win.

.hack//G.U. (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4	comment	Video Game Cruelty Potential: The game allows you to run over the little blue critters with your steambike. Also on that note, you get more points towards the Book of 1000 if you hit monsters with the bike! Through trading, you can take back a gift that you just gave to someone, along with some of their other stuff. They'll ask you if you don't want to be friends anymore. Does this count? The Relationship Values. Particularly the replies you can give in email conversations or forums. An example would be making fun (rather harshly) of Gaspard for liking the card game Crimson VS. And all it costs you is a little extra time putting them in your party to make up for it. The worst example could be if Haseo, and thus, you the player, chooses to encourage Saku to disappear from Bo's consciousness when she feels Bo and Endrance don't need her anymore when they have Haseo. What doesn't help is the dickish way he effectively tells her to go die. Probably to help encourage players to convince Saku to stay, which is both the canon and psychologically healthier choice.

.hack//G.U. (Video Game) / int_fd94c4ac	comment	Theme Naming: Some of the AIDA attacks are named after programming languages. Algol Laser, Prolog Lazer, and Lisp Tackle are some examples. Pretty much all of Anna and Helen's attacks are named after programming languages, although a few of them were changed in the English translation for no known reason. AIDA Victorian, however, draws its names from more royal or kingly-sounding words, such as Elegant Orb or Excellent Ray. It fits with Sakaki's over inflated self-view. All of the leaders of Moon Tree are named after various trees in Japanese (with Sophora and Zelkova switched to their Latin genus names in the English translation). The guild name itself is a pun (Japanese: "Tsuki no Ki") on one of the Japanese words for the tree Zelkova serrata ("tsukinoki"). Some of these names count as Meaningful Names too. This also applies with members of several guilds in the game, such as the Gem guild. Three of the forum posters are named after the parts of Cocytus. Judecca, Antenora, and Ptolomea, respectively. They also have an arena team named Cocytus-1. The members of the Hetero Trio (in Vol. 3) are genetics terms: Hetero, Axanthic, and Leucistic. The latter two are types of albinism.

.hack//G.U. (Video Game) / int_fe262584	comment	Cutscene Power to the Max: Happens with a few opponents, particularly in the Arena but in other boss fights as well. For example, in the first battles with Bordeaux and Alkaid in the Demon Palace Tournament, Haseo can be overleveled and could have wiped the floor with them easily, only for the cutscenes to start and have Haseo getting his butt kicked and utterly curbstomped. Alkaid, when she came Back from the Dead. She was destroying dozens and dozens of Cubia Gomoras in a cutscene, but when you use her to fight the same Gomoras she barely can scratch them. The Last Recode remake automatically levels her up to the party average to compensate.

.hack//G.U. (Video Game) / int_fe5e40e2	comment	Gondor Calls for Aid: In the climax of the third volume, Zelkova sends emails to the entire player database asking for them to join in the fight to save the game and the real world. What he gets, aside from Haseo's group, are members of Moon Tree, Kestrel, Icolo, and others, all working towards that exact goal. What's especially amazing about this sequence is that the Arena rankers that Icolo leads were all stated to have answered the call merely because Haseo asked. It's notable, because, only a short time prior, due to Sakaki's machinations and framing Haseo as a cheater (conveniently leaving out Kuhn and Endrance), which DID have repercussions for Haseo's reputation in-game and in the forums up until the Cubia crisis. That the Rankers easily answered the call, because Haseo asked via Zelkova, shows that Sakaki's lies ultimately failed and how respected Haseo actually is, though the testimonies of Antares, Sirius, and Taihaku likely helped clear Haseo's name.
