What's so appealing about another rehash of Sword Art Online?

Sword Art Online was actually the rehash of .hack

Weak bait. Thread will now be about things we would change/fix in the remake.

>Field music transition needs to return
>Remove battle fences
>Boost difficulty or add difficulty settings
>Rework the Cubia scenerio so it doesn't feel so tacked on (Make it a steady progression starting from Vol 2 as Haseo acquires more of the phases' powers)
>Removing Alkaid for a good chunk of the game was not cool.

Why remove the battle fences? They were fun to bounce people into.

>>380693925
I enjoyed how in IMOQ the battles occurred in the field rather than being trapped inside like dungeon rooms. It and the difference in acquired items made for a nice contrast in the exploration of those environments in IMOQ. Also, it'd be cool to see npcs interacting with the field, like when they are harassed by pkers.

>>380691026
We knew the SAO clones would start popping up sooner or later. Just ignore it.

would it be possible to mod IMOQ to have fragment combat?
menus not pausing the game already changes a lot. the real good shit was the button shortcuts for skills. You could map everything and battles flowed a lot better.

.hack is for fedora tippers.
SAO is much better.

If I have never seen/played anything .hack will I enjoy the remakes?
I've always had a vague interest for the series

>>380691026
i lost track after the 2nd series of games. where are we now?

>>380691026
SAO is the poorman's .hack

They said that they fixed the difficulty against some enemies. Who do you think got changed?

>>380697008
They're fine games if you like the MMO atmosphere. There's a lot of story material in side stuff like the corresponding anime.
Sadly all games/anime beyond roots/g.u. era dropped like a rock in quality.

SAO is for brainlets that couldn't piece together the relatively simple story of .hack and needed a retarded cyberspace naruto ripoff to watch while they wait for their minecraft mods to finish downloading over UmaDeliciaNet.

>>380697008
Yeah, you might not get some slight references but you will still enjoy it. The real question is if you can handle an edgy autist running around shouting "DO YOU KNOW TRI-EDGE?!" for 120 hours because that's how long this shit is gonna be.

>>380691026
Wasn't SAO originally .hack fanfiction?

>>380697386
He stops doing that by the end of vol 1 and by the end of 2 you know who tri edge is, how the hell do you strech that to 120 hours.

>>380692267
>new game+
I hated how the DG Z had zero use after taking fucking ages just to get it.

>>380697539
a self-insert .hack fanfic to boot
literally submitted tor publication

>>380691026
>another rehash
it's the original idea, and it's a hell of a lot more interesting.
If you didnt play the original ones on ps2, don't bother with this at all though.

>>380697386
The trilogy is like 45 hours max if you do everything. 30 or less if you don't

>>380698015
I want a source for this. I want to believe.

>>380698232
Not 100% true, but it was written in the winter the same year that .Hack//Sign first aired in Japan for a contest to be published. the author never actually submitted it in because he exceeded the page limit of the contest.

>>380698232
There's not really a source, but SAO was submitted for publication as SIGN was airing on tv in japan, which coincidently also featured the concept of being stuck in an MMO.
Maaaaaybe its all unrelated.

>>380698752
Yeah its a coincidence his wrote this the same year ,hack//sign and .hack//infection came out. Because videogames and anime take less than 1 year to make.

Nah its a blatant fanfic he wrote when he heard about .hack only he added a ton of self insert dumbshit into it.

>>380698757
>new anime with video game tie-ins that's set to become a massive multimedia franchise features a very specific premise
>coincidentally another manga submitted right after it's debut just happens to feature the exact same premise
Hmmmm

I played these games with cheats on PS2. I'll buy this remaster but I doubt I'll beat it.

>>380697154
I'm guessing the doppelganger won't be so bullshit
