[Setsuna F. Seiei]

No, I mean 70% done with the ROOTS segment. I still need GU, the rest of link, and a ton of side events from the less series. [tornado fang]ing pissed that I can't get Karl as a playable character. <3 her.

I got my copy at around 10:00am PST yesterday, and it's currently almost noon today. I've pretty much been playing it non stop for 20-24 [tornado fang]ing hours. I couldn't sleep at all, and had to hook up the ac adapter at least 6 times.

 I just barely stopped an hour ago to clean up and take a shower.  Now to scavenge through the fridge.

[VirusChris]

Must be an incredibly fun game then?


So who's your favorite teammate to tag along with?

[Setsuna F. Seiei]

For the most on the main story paths for the series, your teamed up with that series main. For the side stories though you can use anyone you have. As to my personal preference, Tsukasa and the Gundam I call ZERO.  So far Tsukasa is the only one with the full 5 hearts on her profile.

Douche bag->Shy->Tsundere->moe-> TRUE BRO! (as much as bro a reverse trap can be  >.>)

Over all, game is awesome,  and easily worth a buy. I was regretting spending $80 on just one PSP game, but not anymore.

[Gaia]

Heh, I see what u did thar.

Mains for the most part eh? I think the Free Mode is unlockable.. if there ever was one.

[VirusChris]

That's awesome! So what does the whole Friendship Level do gameplay-wise?

[Setsuna F. Seiei]

When doing cross Rengeki's, you get certain bonuses. Tsukasa's is by far the most useful since his increases virus cores. Which you need to upgrade job ranks.

[VirusChris]

Job Ranks? What does Job Rank do? Increase your characters' stats?

Also is Tokio an actual Twin Sword/Blade class or is it his preferred fighting style since he's physically in "The World"? Also how did he get his weapons? Did Saika give it to him?

[Setsuna F. Seiei]

It increases  stats, and artes to stronger ones. Tsukasa's poison the [tornado fang] out of everything ability is actually pretty broken.

Also once Tokio gets his X-th form, everyone else unlocks there if their rank is maxed.

And Tokio's not really any different form a normal PC. The manga's level 0/1, or what ever was just the manga. Nothing like that in the real thing. His official job as "Duel Edge". And he just had them when he got to The World.

[VirusChris]

I see... a very useful way to use Virus Cores.

So everyone gets their Xth Form when their Job Rank is maxed and only when Tokio gets his Xth. Is Tokio able to switch between his normal form to his Xth Form like everyone else or he's stuck like that when he transforms.

So is the "Duel Edge" a new class for The World R:X, or a rename of an existing class, and did Tokio pick that class or automatically given the class.

[Setsuna F. Seiei]

Tokio just had that class. As far as things go he's so far the only one with it. Kite is listed as Twin Sword like always.

Go Tokio's Xth form. Death yo-yo's of mass destruction! At least now I see why the song was called "hero of Gear".

Also Tokio can't switch as his is canon. Everyone else except Haseo's is just a gameplay mechanic.

[VirusChris]

I see... so Tokio's Xth Form is incredible strong and fast? Better than his normal form?

Also is the Xth Form obtain through the story since its canon?

[Gaia]

How's the unlockables coming along? I'm liking the canon here so far.

Thanks for supplying the OST links to this game man, I was wondering when this was gonna get ripped. 

...I don't know if they are downloadable 'tho. I'd love to have both the OST and the PSP wallpapers.  X3

[VirusChris]

I can try to get these songs and send you them by uploading them to megaupload in a ZIP or RAR file.

Anyway since I saw the name of one of the songs, I'm wondering. Does that AI girl, AIKA (the one from Tokio's dream from the manga), appear yet and has the same dream thing like the manga? Do even Saika and AIKA meet since they're separate beings.

Also has Aura appeared yet?

Here's some more .hack//LINK... they could've remix some of the songs.

[Setsuna F. Seiei]

Just post the singly links, don't inbed every single video. It makes loading a pain and slows everything down.

And AIKA is in the game. She's The AIDA, the good kind that Ovan tried to get the others to learn about in the REBIRTH OVA. The remnants of the AIDA from Ovan's activation of rebirth in GU vol 3 moved onto another online game. Using the knowledge and emotions that the AIDA obtained, it made itself into a NPC; that is AIKA.

Some character changes in GU. Haseo is [tornado fang]ing Hitler in this game and is just murdering people left and right, and  using Skeith on normal players because it needs to feed on them.

Posted on: March 07, 2010, 15:36:40New theme ahoy. The 4th Original starts in the GU route during a mission with Pai, and it's also the theme of Tokio (Xth form) VS Haseo (AIDA/Skeith)

"Namida no Tokete"

[Dr. Wily II]

VirusChris, I know you meant well, however what Setsuna said is true.
PLEASE, from now on, just post the links to music if you want to post in bulk.
Thank you.

[Setsuna F. Seiei]

Plus those are just ripped from the game, not the OST.

[VirusChris]

Alright I understand! Anyway what about Aura, has she appeared yet?

[Setsuna F. Seiei]

She appears all over. SIGN, .hack, all the other series that she was in.


Also the final 3 partners are Fluegel, Klarinette and that annoying loli thing.

[VirusChris]

Are you kidding me? Fluegel, Klarinette, and Cello are the last three Party Members? Well at least you get some characters from the LINK series to join.
I need to import this game... NOW! Also, like Ovan, they lack Xth Forms right?

But I'm confused, since Haseo's Beast Form is another form Haseo can change into that would mean there's one slot left (or is it confirm to be to take a character slot?). So there's one character slot left... unless I overlooked someone.

List of Party Members:

01. Kite
02. Mimiru
03. BlackRose
04. Mistral
05. Tsukasa
06. Albireo
07. Silver Knight
08. Subaru
09. Orca
10. Balmung
11. Helba
12. Haseo (and Haseo Bst-Form)
13. Shino
14. Atoli
15. Kuhn
16. Pi
17. Tabby
18. Ovan
19. Alkaid
20. Azure Flame Kite
21. Endrance
22. Sakubo (Saku)
23. Sakubo (Bo)
24. Kaede
25. Sakaki
26. Silabus
27. Zelkova
28. Midori
29. Cubia
30. Fluegel
31. Klarinette
32. Cello
33. ???

I've download the songs from that guy's channel so I'll upload a download of it in a ZIP or RAR file.

[Setsuna F. Seiei]

Got to the next link segment

-Aura was frozen deep inside the Akasha record/tower thing where she went to run away
-After freeing her, she got caught by a Virus by Tokio due to a trap by Geist.
-Geist is in fact Jyotaro "LOL I SET THE [tornado fang] WORLDS SEVERS ON FIRE 6 YEARS AGO AND DIDN'T DIE" Amagi
-The disk he gave Saika which she used to Digitalize Tokio was rigged with the Virus.

He also betrayed Fluegel, etc.

[VirusChris]

WHAT!?! Unbelievable! That's a huge shock who Geist is!
OK, that makes sense why Fluegel joined Tokio... and Klarinette and Cello joined Tokio as well for their own reasons and because they were betrayed by Giest as well?

Anyway so Haseo B-st is counted as his own character then? Well that explains it.

Oh yeah, does it explain why Saika chose to digitized Tokio besides the whole him being the main character sort of thing.

[Setsuna F. Seiei]

Actually, no. They're assisting Tokio because they were instructed to by Genius, aka Shicksals leader. Also Fluegel is nowhere to be seen. Schicksal members all special PCs, and are directly linked to them. Fluegel was stabbed in the back, which means that's exactly what happened to him in the real world damage wise. The only members I have so far are the kid one and Clarinet.

Saika got an email telling her that her brother was alive, and being imprisoned on the top floor of the Akasha tower. Along with the mail she was sent the disk with the "real digitized" technology. Which can turn a human into a PC. But there's a certain requirement in that only humans capable of DoubleWare(or wear) are capable of it. Also it eventually breaks down the mind of the person. Which is why  Tokio keeps getting unexplained head aches. . the disk that she was sent, which I mentioned earlier also contained the Virus.

[VirusChris]

I see, but that DoubleWare thing is a little strange.

So they were order to assist Tokio, who is this Genius guy anyway? And Fluegel is nowhere to be found? So you got to have him as a Party Member for a short while or is he listed in the Party Member selection screen but blacken out so you're unable to use them.

Also what's the X-Rengeki that Tokio performs with Klarinette and Cello? And is it only those three characters from Schicksal? And what do you mean that the Schicksal members special PCs are link to whom?

EDIT: After taking another look at what you wrote about their special PCs, it's similar to Tsukasa to when her conscious was trapped inside "The World" are felt pain like she was real inside the game. So since Fluegel got back-stabbed in the game his real world self was hurt as if someone stabbed him in the real world as well. Is that it?
