Thanks for the longer explanation, but that's not exactly what I had in mind. You said the DVD was proved wrong. What proved it wrong? Was it information from one of the books? From an official site? Something else? No source was provided there, and I'd like to know where this information came from.

If the DVD was proven wrong, then that would mean that Bandai's hiding something. And in order to prove this, you'd need evidence directly from Bandai.

Storyline wise, that sounds nice. However, aside from the easter egg, we have no evidence swaying in your direction. That sounds like the work of a fan-fic, mainly because it explains itself so thoroughy, and as we all know, that's not very .hack-ish ^.^.

.hack//analysis is a japanese information booklet that has tons of extra information on everything .hack, that is where kima gets most of his information from as he can read japanese

he just made another post in the topic and he explains analysis as well in it
[spoiler]They were just too lazy I guess to explain the complex reasons behind Mia's actions so simply said "It's Data of Maha and Mia is Maha"

If they want proof, it's simply to understand plus the whole Maha/Mia/Phase 6 story is in ANALYSIS

Analysis is an offical Japanese .hack info book whereas that Data section on the Liminality DVD is the translators info notes. I trust Project .hack's offical info book more then the English translators ideas.[/spoiler]
and there you have it, and there are a lot of translation errors in the american .hacks as well but i won't get into those heh

I'm not ready to buy that just yet. There are two explanations for Mia collecting Aromatic Grass. [spoiler]The first one is that she collects it because it contains her data. The second is that she collects it because she saw it in the field in which she woke up and because she remembers Tsukasa giving it to her. [/spoiler] The two explanations do not conflict, and it would be a bad idea to abandon the Liminality DVD as a source just because the creators of .hack decided to present part of the story in one place, and another part in a different place.

Maybe someone who has the book can help me out here... does ANAYLSIS say that the explanation it presents is the one reason Mia has for gathering Aromatic Grass, and that she has no other motives for collecting it? If it doesn't, then there's no reason to assume that only one of the two explanations can be correct.

yeah and besides when Mia turns to Macha it looks like she is covered in a pattern of Aromatic grass (from what it looks like in //SIGN)
