Liminality/Sign connection

Once again I haven't see all of Sign yet, so.....people probably already know the actual facts behind my madness. I was just going to talk about the ...um I think it was a flat sound in Liminality that "saved" the girl from going into a coma. That same sound is in the Sign episode Castle. Maybe there's a connection.....

That actually isn't a flat sound. That's a tone that plays on the note of A. It happens to do with the beginnings of what causes a player to fall into a coma, apparently. 'A' is a very basic note, and is used by many people to tune their instruments (or voice) to.

Heh, sorry you misread me. I meant A as in the note A, so like an A flat note, or maybe it's just plain A. Well anyway I thought that quite interesting how it happens in both //Sign and Liminality

I thought the note was A Minor

Yeah, its gotta be connected in some way, though it might never be explained in the show... the note is also in the game, It plays during the Phase intros... So I suppose it plays whenever a phase is nearby

It's a German A, "Ahh" - don't they even say this along with a sampling of the first three letters of the alphabet IN Liminality 1?

Yes, they do ^^^

Yeah but in Liminality 1 they call it a certain note...which I can't exactly recall so I'll go watch it real quickly. The thing that brought it to my attention really was the whole Castle ep in //Sign. I thought it cool about the connection.

yea, that note always plays when something related to harold/morganna/aura happens. Like in castle, when they are around Harold. And in dusk when rena trys to touch aura in ep 9.

I don't know 'bout saying it, butsaying 'A' in Japanese is the same way. 'Ahh'. You say it that way when reading out the kanas...

'a(ah) i(ee) u(oo) e(eh) o(oh)'.

Didn't Makino say tho, "Ahh like the German A?" then he's like, "Ahh, Bay, Say-"

This "note" thing is a perfect example of why I think .hack// series are so good. The mysteries inside them, some that are never answered. But getting back on subject...I was thinking game terms. You know how games have a certain sound when you get an item/level up/events and such, maybe that's what the note is for ^_^

So the Phases get their own sound? Kinda like "We're coming, so RUN THE FRICKIN' HECK AWAY!"

yeah, I guess ^_^. But I meant more along the lines of like when you get an Item it plays a little sound byte and then a message pops up.

Yeah, but thats more of a phonetic pronunciation...the actual note is A Minor.
