Set between MR and Alicization. Apparently the Professor dude has developed Google Glass in this universe and (importantly) has also developed an ARMMORPG at the same time so as to take advantage of the tryhard-looking headset. And then somehow, the game becomes MORE THAN A GAME and the real world is in danger in some way, shape, or form.

Because it's AR, your capabilities depend quite a lot on your body's physical abilities. Hah.

>>148026822
Yes. Live-action, in English, and adapted by Hollywood. It's gonna be awful and hilarious.

In related news, apparently they're making a crossover videogame for SAO and AW.

https://youtu.be/sgXW8NIYcVU

Oddly enough it's ALO Kirito, not SAO.
>>
>>148027021
I'm not sure that's necessarily needed. What he says in the trailer is "my body feels so sluggish", which is what Asuna also said back in MR. It may not necessarily be that he's so terribly out of shape as much as that he's used to such incredibly high DEX stats in-game that his 3D body has no way of competing.

Last we saw, he was hitting the gym regularly (in Fairy Dance) and also has road biking as a hobby.

>>148026466
Honestly, QUALITY Code's production quality is more of an outlier than anything.

It will be made by the same developer as the SAO games right? It probably will be good.

You act like SAO has anything to ruin in the first place. While shoe-horned diversity isn't enjoyable for anyone, the idea of the first VR game having more than just Japanese people playing it isn't exactly too far out there.

There were only 10000 copies or so, and I want to say it was regionlocked.

Regardless, if Hollywood is doing it, it's probably not going to be set in Japan.

>>148027847
More like Agil is Japanese who grew up in LA and runs a shop in Japantown.
>>
>Full Dive developed and used before AR
Yeah. This is bullshit. I don't see how anyone can buy it.
>>
There's no action animation director staff position this time unlike the previous TV seasons. Strange but since this is a movie and SAO is a big title for A-1 this project still should attract some good animators to it.
>>
>>148028083
I know the story's reasoning, I'm just saying the only reason it was like that in the first place was that Kawahara was probably not confident in writing about people who aren't Japanese.

If Hollywood is clever about it, it doesn't have to be "set" anywhere. It just has to have people of different backgrounds playing a VR game together. That's already what playing an MMO is like in real life.

>>148028356
Pokemon Go in its early days did more for getting nerds off their asses than the First Lady, the NFL, and the Department of Education ever did over the past few decades.

If a true ARMMORPG came out that required physical fitness, I don't think it would be unreasonable to see people seriously training to maximize their e-skills.

>>148028333
Well, from what I can gather, the original SAO had only one server. Who launches an MMO with a single server?

Highly depends on what you mean "server". If you mean "hardware" server then no online game has that.

If you mean "gameplay" server then that highly depends on what kind of game you have.

>>148028773
Never played EVE but I imagine that the server could handle a total player population greater than 10000, no?

>>
>>148028946
Absolutely. The record for concurrent players online sits just above 65,000. It's all a single shard with everyone in the same galaxy, unlike other mmos that split things up by continent or even region.

>>148029280
we're not talking from a hardware standpoint, at least i don't think. trying to run something like eve or even SAO from a single server tower would be impossible. we mean 'single server' as in 'everyone in the same playspace'

there were no other copies of aincrad hosted on other servers for people to play on, all 10000 players were in the same floating castle, just like in eve everyone except the chinese are in the same galaxy
>>
>>148025601
I don't self-insert as Kirito. Even though SAO is objectively bad, it's honestly an entertaining watch.
>>
>>148028333
>It's like they hated money.
profit wasn't kayaba's goal with SAO

>>148028533
>Who launches an MMO with a single server?
this wasn't a conventional MMO, that was never the intent even at the start
>>
>>148029450
I will never understand how people can be entertained by something bad.
>>
>>148029441
SAO is built almost exactly like Eve. While the majority of players all lived in one floor at the bottom (there's your jita 4-4 node with hundreds concurrently online daily) there was 75 floors that the rest of the survivors spread out over. travel between floors (systems) was handled by warp gates and specialized warp item crystals making "corridors" (cyno jumping). The only real difference would be the amount of computation required for all that vr shit.
>>
>>148030037
makes you wonder how ALO handled new aincrad, what with being able to fly around outside of it instead of teleporting into each new floor's instance
>>
>>148030116
It's still required to warp between floors, there's a barrier that prevents you from just flying into the next floor.
>>
>>148030229
if you mean the big metal shutters closing off unreached floors, then they actually open once the previous floor boss has been conquered
>>
>>148029991
I think the same about those that defend kyoani and their shows.
>>
So who is that antagonist guy?
And why are the evil characters always male?

I thought that was just for floors that haven't opened up yet. I may be wrong, but I think you can fly between opened floors.

I'm actually a bit unclear on how they get between Alfeim and ALO-Aincrad i.e. Midgar. Do they just fly there?

It's going to gross more. It's already going to be put in more theaters than KnK and is way more popular too. I can see this making 3 billion yen and even more. Then you have the 1000 other theaters worldwide. This will be a massive success.

So I'm really wondering if I should watch SOA2. I really loved the first one, but the second part (after they got out of the tower) was the most horrible thing I've seen in anime.

Is SOA2 like SOA1.1 or is it more rubbish like SOA1.2?

>>148028239
>the only reason it was like that in the first place was that Kawahara was probably not confident in writing about people who aren't Japanese.
You could also reason that it would be problematic to shove a bunch of people who don't speak the same language onto Aincrad.
You could split them into different servers, but that opens you up to more attacks.

Kayaba just might not want to deal with foreign countries, and is content to just fucking with his native Japan.

>>148030037
>>148030116
>>148030229
In ALO you could just fly to whatever floor. I believe they mentioned doing this in a few novel side-stories.
And even in SAO, you could just WALK to the next floor through the dungeons connecting each floor. Orange Players couldn't enter towns, so they couldn't teleport between floors very efficiently, so to cross floors they had to walk.

It literally cannot get worst than Fairy Dance. So yes.

The Accel World movie was the same. Looked like all new content from the trailers.

40 minutes of recap
40 minutes of new story.

And the recap only covered what happened in Season 1, but the new story had a huge timeskip, so anyone who was following the anime had no idea what the fuck was going on anyways.

Sorta. The second cour of SAO2 is split between a Caliber, and Mother's Rosario.
Caliber is just a 3 episode arc about Kirito and .co getting the Excaliber sword, so it's entirely skip-able, seeing as most people don't seem to like it as much, because of how seriously it takes itself.

Accel World has a standard level system though.

Ordinal Scale is much sillier, as it has a system that scales you compared to all other players.
I think it's an interesting idea, but I can't see any implementation of this system being not retarded.

Because there are all kinds of people thus all kinds of fans. Lots of people don't care much about the literary value of the plot as much as they care about the escapism. SAO does well at pandering to the escapism needs.

SAO does very well also because it has multiple self-insert plot arcs not just one. The main problems with past SAO fandom on /a/ was the obnoxious fans that denied SAO as being a gary stu pandering plot with realistic practical ways of leveling and gaining wealth.

Worst case scenario, people ridicule it to Hell and back like Dragonball: Evolution, Reki encourages everyone to put it out of their minds, and it's never mentioned again.

>>148055612
The most brutal, yes. I wouldn't call her the most sadistic, because it didn't seem like she was outright gaining pleasure from harming people, except Cardinal, who she had a personal grudge against.
Most other harm she did to people was out of self-preservation, and part way through she realized that nothing in her world was real, and so she stopped looking at the other fluctlights as people.

D.I.L was pretty sadistic though, and outright enjoyed the suffering of others.

Quinella is the ruler of the Underworld server and High Minister of the Axiom Church. In an effort to obtain immortality, she fused herself with the Cardinal System of Underworld. After her success, she began corrupting the souls of the Underworld nobility by separating the nations and spreading ignorance and fear among the populace. After making the populace believe that she was a goddess, she created the Axiom Church and named herself the Highest Minister. Quinella brainwashed every rebel fighting against her government and the Champions of the Four Empires Unity Tournament. She also performs fatal experiments on innocent people in order to learn the secrets of the human units. After realizing the invasion of the Dark Territory was inevitable, Quinella confiscated every line of defenses from Human Empire in order to make the people more dependent on the Axiom Church. When faced with possible defeat by the Dark Territory, Quinella transforms thousands of people (including familiars of her own Integrity Knights) into swords and forms a Golem out of them, her victims conscious in their new form. She claims this action was for the safety of these people, but it's clear she shows no remorse for trapping these people in such a state. A narcissistic sociopath and a selfish woman, Quinella only wants to control everything in her reach, and enjoys nothing more then destroying and torturing the denizens of the Underworld.

She's by all means a narcissistic sociopath, who sees others as beneath her, doing everything for self-preservation alone, but I wouldn't call her a sadist. She was more indifferent to the suffering of others than anything. Chudlkin was a sadist, sure, but I don't think Quinella really was.

This doesn't absolve her from the atrocities that she committed; it just changes the motive.

Was she always evil, or only became crazy from finding out that she and everyone else was nothing more then a computer program?
>>
>>148057694
It was a process, I think.
Even as a child, she had some sociopath-like tendencies, such has going out to kill animals regularly, which allowed her to raise her levels more than others but beyond that, most of her actions weren't that unreasonable at the start. She governed using the Axiom Church, and proved her divinity through the power she gained.
When she became old, she learned how to control age and stuff, but she didn't start doing more (extremely) unethical stuff until she realized she was also losing her memories as a result of her soul aging. According to Cardinal/Lyceris, by this point she was still somewhat reasonable, in terms of government, as she had plans to reform the nobility and stuff like that, but things changed when she tried to copy the Cardinal System into her soul, and this caused her views to warp.
When even this eventually backfired, she decided to instead shut down most of her emotions, to minimize the amount of memories she accumulates.


I may be getting some of the timeline wrong, but ultimately she wasn't born evil, she became twisted over time and the various things she did to herself.

The only measurements for Suguha's chest size is from the web novel, where she was supposedly more modest.

What
>>
>>148065464
Long story short:
So in Volume 14, Kirito, Alice, Eugeo, Cardinal and Charlotte all end up fighting Quinella, who is basically a god within UnderWorld.
Kirito, Alice and Eugeo are pretty strong at this point, but not even close to Quinella.
Cardinal however is just as strong as Quinella, and Charlotte is a boss monsters, but Charlotte ends up killed by a Sword Golem. Cardinal ends up showing up late to the party, but because she is unable to "Kill People", she can't destroy the Sword Golem, which is made out of People.

In short, Cardinal dies, Eugeo becomes a sword to cut off Quinella's arm, but gets broken in half, Kirito goes nuts and uses Incarnate and Dual Wields Eugeo, to nearly kill Quinella, but loses an arm instead.
Ultimately Quinella is still alive, but THEN THE FUCKING BURNING CLOWN APPEARS OUT OF FUCK NO WHERE, and literally hugs Quinella to death.


Kirito ends up brain dead, because IRL reasons, and doesn't wake up until Volume 18.
When he finally wakes up though, he's become extremely high leveled, because him and his "party" killed Quinella so they got the EXP, even though they didn't kill her. That, coupled with "incarnate" makes him a virtual demi-god inside of UnderWorld. So he freezes an army of Koreans, turns PoH into a Tree, and kills a soul-eating American, through the power of love.

Kirito goes into a coma because of the evil NSA.

The surviving Law guys try to train up a peasant army in preparation for the Chaos invasion (Chaos are led by the literal God of Darkness who is also an evil NSA agent who eats souls like rape).

They get rekt, but Kirito's harem save them with GM accounts and deebeezeee powerlevels.

NSA connect UW to the internet and get 50,000 American players to connect (it was advertized to them as a beta test for a new AO-rated VRMMO where you're allowed to slaughter anything and everything you like, with blood and guts), they mass murder UW residents and think it's hilarious.

To defeat them the main characters get 2,000 Japanese VRMMO players to connect. Despite the difference in numbers the Japanese are superior and win because Asian gamer damashii.

Then PoH (who is also an evil NSA agent) unleashes a zerg rush of Korean and Chinese gamers who were recruited by being told this is the a Korean VRMMO that's in beta test but evil Japanese hackers broke into the server, turned off pain dampening and are torturing their countrymen.

Even when some Japs who speak Korean try to explain the situation to them they don't listen because hurr japanese

The other NSA guys are surprised this works, they thought it wouldn't be worth it because they didn't think Japan is more different from Korea/China than European countries are from each other (hur)

Koreans and Chinese overwhelm Japs because this is every Jap's worst nightmare.

Kirito wakes up (thanks to the literal POWER OF LOVE from his entire harem) and wipes them all out in one attack though.

(Also PoH's motivation is that he's Korean and he hates Japanese so when he got stuck in SAO he decided to set up Laughing Coffin and have them and the clearers kill each other for shits and giggles because Nips killing each other is hilarious.)

Later Kirito and Asuna become gods because of x10000000000 acceleration.

The UWers then travel to virtual planets with rocket dragons.

So I guess it takes place in the same timeline as LS.

There's no need to make a whole movie, why not follow the same format? 13 eps + 13 eps + recap movie + second season first half 13 eps + second half 13 eps. There's enough content in Alicization, imo it can be done.
>>
>>148067965
They just want to throw in a movie before announcing Season 3.
The director originally said that he didn't want to work on an anime that he didn't know what the ending would be, so I guess they started working on Ordinal Scale to fill out the time until Alicization.

We will most likely get an S3 announcement right after the movie. Probably even during the end credits, like S2 was with Extra Edition.

I hope so, though it's kinda disappointing that after all the effort put into the realistic VR concept, now they decide to make a movie based on a fad tech like AR.

What the shit? The web novel's ending has been out since forever.

I mean, I guess there was always a chance that Kawahara would change it, but in the end he barely did.
>>
>>148068193
With AR it doesn't require pulling the player entirely into a coma and you would hope that this helps prevent the shenanigans with the previous two FDVR games. I mean, lots of people died in SAO and ALO was its own kind of shitshow. It makes sense for their universe. And then both technologies get combined in the end later.

I actually quite like how he's incorporating AR into the universe since it is a lot more useful in everyday life than full VR is. A world with such advanced VR but no AR doesn't really make sense.

Besides, AW is full of AR technologies, and how else are you gonna reconcile the technological timelines?

>>148064090
Sure, but you should at least see changes in your avatar if it kept up with your current physical form. By the time SAO ended, all the players should be spooky almost-skeletons.

I just looked it up and
>According to Skydance, its potential live-action series will follow "a brilliant young beta tester Kirito and his group of friends when they are trapped — alongside 10,000 other people — in a next-generation virtual reality online role-playing game. The game is a world unto itself: filled with sword fighting, monsters, magic and mystery, where the stakes are life and death. Kirito and an ensemble of diverse characters must fight their way through this hostile environment while making lives for themselves in the fantastical world that is Sword Art Online."

>magic
>>
>>148071648
The elf NPCs in Progressive had magic.
>>
>>148071648
SAO has magic. Just not in the way of "magical skills". Stuff like Crystals and the fact Aincrad float is explained by some in-lore technique, that's basically not-magic-but-it-totally-is.

Saying that Aincrad is "full of magic" is just another way to say it's fantastical.

Yeah, he doesn't seem to care for SAO, beyond being a cash cow.
Most of his conversations in interviews seem like he's not all that interested in what's actually going on in SAO, and he talked quite a lot about Sinon's butt before S2, which probably should have been an indication that we would be seeing a lot more of Sinon butt than usual.

Hell, AIDS-chan hits every box on the fucking checklist. She's a disabled, strong girl who don't need no man that gets shipped with Asuna.
