As the title suggests, we can talk about anything related to volume two of .hack//G.U. so go wild...

Hello. Just finished Volume 1 the other day. I just wanted to know when the official North American release date is supposed to be becuase all it mentions on the info page is the Japanese release date.

From the discussions in the vol 1 forum, we are thinking around january or febuary... Keeping about three months between them like the previous four volumes...

I remember when the first games were coming out; I was always trying to find time to play the last one before the next one in the series came out. I haven't gotten .hack// G.U. Vol. 1 yet. I am considering it though, since it looks awesome! ^-^

Volume 1 is highly entertaining and the graphics are an increadible improvement over those of the previous games... I do recomend purchasing volume 1, it is worth it... And if you get the special edition, you can get the Terminal disk, which contains the Interim reports that explain all kinds of secrets about the .hack// world that make events that occur much easier to understand...

There's a special addition?

I'll have to keep an eye out for that when Volume 1 comes out in the UK, which I'm predicting will be about February onwards because we always seem to get these things a set amount of time after North America (roughly 4-5 months?)

Either way, me want now

I know what you mean... Have you watched the mega spoiler in the thread "Ovans Arm" yet??? That was so freaking cool...

I read up everything about Ovan on .hack//wiki as soon as I saw him unlock his arm in roots, it all becomes pretty clear once you see that certain episode.

Also seeing the trailer for parts 2 and 3 sort of helped fule my curiosity.

It does, doesn't it??? For about ten minutes anyway...

Up to ep 24 of roots now.

Also is it me or does Haseo seem like a bit of a zombie asshole in the anime?

Then again can't really blame him....ok you can a bit xP

After Shino falls into a coma he goes a little off the deep end... Comes up a small fry short of his happy meal...

But he does recover when he gets drained... Guess Tri-Edge helped him out...

Yeah I thought that after seeing him in various clips and comparing it to him in roots.

He seemed a tad stupid though, I mean Ovan comes out of nowhere after 8 months of being missing and says "lol, Tri-Edge is over there" only for Haseo to go "lol, k"

Ovan: I'll meet joo there.
Haseo: kk *psychotic grin*

*5 minutes later*

Azure Kite: Zomg it's an AIDA!
Haseo: Zomg it's Tri-Edge!

*brief interlude*

Haseo: Good heavens, I am dead..I mean GWARGGGH *pain!*

*later again*

Haseo: Oops I'm a n00b again, lol.
Phyllo: And I'm dead, no seriously I am X.x
Tabby: I wish I had some significance in the story T_T

Tabby does have signifisence...

quote

In the final episode of ROOTS she resovles to train to become a nurse to look after Shino in case Haseo fails... Kind of lame but at least now we don't have to put up with her...

I swear, she is the Rachel of the GU series...

quote

Yeah I know she goes off to become a nurse, but really she does nothing to speed the story along, unless she happens to have a big part in volume 3 when she returns.

Who knows... She may be back just to be there whenever Shino awakens...
