All the .hack games for the PS2 are all offline, they're made to simulate an online RPG but it all again remains offline. However, I can't answer for the 5th one which a save from all games is required to play, I don't know the name of it so I refrenced it as 5th.

The story line is based on a pretend online environment. The game wouldn't have hardly any plot if it were really online.

yeah, all of the .hack games are RPGs where the setting is an MMORPG... meaning that it's all 1 player and not online...

BTW is there really a 5th game planned?

I think End of a Shadow is referring to the bonus DVD that requires all 4 data flags to view. I don't have many details on this, however. I think Rhyste said that japanese gamers bought it by mail-order.

Yeah thats what I was refering to. Like I said "I don't know the name of it so I refrenced it as 5th" but thanks for reminding me.

I think that i heard about that to they will be a fifth one online but the needing of all the data i do not know about i mean why would they do that what if someone buys it and does not see that little lable(which happened to me when i bought EverQuest Online and had no way to play it)which is why i dont think so

well its called marketing. To get the whole story and understand the 'flashbacks', you must see //sign. To understand why the kite and blackrose skins are "legendary", you must play //I.M.O.Q(Infection, Mutation, Outbreak, Quarentine) To get .hack//gift, you must complete .hack//I.M.O.Q on the same save file. To see the complete story of .hack//dusk,you must buy the manga and anime. So0 that come out to about $470.00, i think.
