.hack//ROOTS DVD information!

Post by thedudewhosadude »

A date's been set! March 20th!

Details are a tad bit sketchy right now, as Bandai's doing the whole "do-a-dvd-release-like-a-kidney-stone;-no-publicity" thing. Hell, even the cover art looks piss-poor :/

But anyway, I TRY to stay positive :D! With a MSRP of $59.98 comes the Limited Edition set! It also contains "Artbox/CD/Game/Tshirt". Uh huh. Game, eh? It had BETTER not be //G.U. Vol.1!

It probably will be. Oh well, I guess I can sell the game off since I already have it.

if it even is a new game, I doubt it will be good, and, uh, what is Haseo doing in the cover of the dvd? licking his finger? kinda looks like it...

Damn you Bandai. DAMN YOU!

Don't you see?! They've reached the bottom of the barrel of marketing tricks: sexual innuendo. Well it's NOT GOING TO WORK THIS TIME!

Well, in my situation, I'll come crawling back to .hack no matter how much it reeks of dead horse. In retrospect, I've yet to watch //SIGN in its entirety again, or even feel the want to watch an episode. Sure, everynow and then I feel like photocopying-by-hand a scene from Unison, but that's about--crap, now I feel like watching again. X_X Really what threw everyone off about //ROOTS, I feel, is the crap effort put into the drawings (sometimes it's really nice to look at, other times [most of the time] its.....really something &_&) and a plot that could have been accomplished in 13 episodes rather than 26. Like I said, take a look at my old summaries of the episodes. I know there's like...what, maybe 6 at most? 4? Hell, I don't know! But roughly every episode followed a formula.

In the end though, I say go for it. You have your own opinion, no matter how similar it is to someone else's. (I think I'm the only male alive that holds Final Fantasy X-2 as the one of the best FF's yet)...

EDIT: Yes, it would appear that the game is a demo of //G.U., kinda like how //SIGN's box set came with the demo for //Infection.

I would suggest renting it before buying it. That way you can form your own opinions. :)

You are. And I just lost all respect for you. In any event, I'll pick the DVD up for the simple fact that is is .hack. I like to have seen all the pieces of the puzzle for myself.

Woo, always a jaw-dropper and sexuality-questioner of a statement XD In my defense, I liked the fighting system; I'll agree that the story and concept was utter crap (c'mon, tragic endings are typical Final Fantasy! Almost all of them as of recent have the whole "NO PLEASE DON'T DIE" trend going on! Not to mention Yuna has a weird idea of a "rebound" [From summoner to...pole dancer?])

And yes, we do have tendencies to loop convos--there isn't much new info.

HOWEVER! I have found the art for the box, and on the whole I'm unimpressed:

I MUCH rather prefer the hexagonal .hack//SIGN box that was originally released!

ooooh, PICS! Finally!, wait, oh...yeah ...*sigh* the shirt could use alot more detail, otherwise, if you wear it in public (youd have be a complete idiot to do that) people will ask you, "wat da hell is DoT Hak??? dat sounds f***ed up!".......on the plus side we are all unlikely to win it anyway.
