I'm confused about the coma business

Can the characters acualy feel the wind and stuff? Their hair moves but can they feel it? Or is Tsukasa the only one?

I wouldn't suppose they feel anything. The reason why Tsukasa's case is so peticular. I thought it was bizzar that he could smell things there too. Don't ask me why they developed code for that, if it was only for Tsukasa. Or maybe his head is tricked into feeling the things that he expects to feel.

I wonder if the game could get into your head and configure a few things in the brain to make a continuous link possible with the game. To make a portion of the brain to act mechanically. In that way he could remotely connect. And the only real change is that his awareness shifts away from real life, and focuses on the game. Sort of like when your dreaming, when your awareness is focused inside your head, though loud noises and stuff can wake you up. A deep 'coma' like sleep.

I'm not an expert on MPD

. Sorry for the fuss.

Kind of like Evangelion where they have the little hair clippies and feel pain and crap? D:

That's more of a 2-way nervous system link, with simultaneous actions from both beings. So it's more like a brain to brain connection, whereas in .hack we have a brain to machine connection, which is more difficult (as if the brain to brain connection wasn't ;P).

Not to mention that it isn't designed to be a real connection, just a video screen for a game.

Though with Harald as the programmer, there is a possibilty that The World WAS designed for this kind of connection.

After watching all of .hack and whatever you still say The World is just a game?

Fragment and The World may have been, but Harald didn't personally design the VR goggles, or the game controllers.

Well, this might not be the complete truth.It does seem to me like the people who go into a coma kinda get trapped inside "The World" itself. Maybe I'm wrong but that's just what it seem's like to me. Don't kill me if I'm wrong. I'm still a newbie at the whole .hack thing.

Kill him! Burn him at the stake for his wild ideas!

You may be on to somthing... the song "The World" staites, "all too calm, you hide yourself from reality"

I may just be takeing lyrics to litaraly though.

Not to mention he somehow managed to do this himself.

I think that the living flesh thing simply states that Morganna can't be reached from the normal (physical) World.

Exactly, which means that, since Harald is still inside at SIGN, he may have somehow pulled a Tsukasa.
