Quotes

"Here's what I want to do: I want to have this company be reborn as a completely new one and make .hack// succeed. I don't want it to end here. Not now. WE've been working for four years, but we still haven't accomplished what we need to. We haven't gotten the resutls we've wanted, and more than anything, we haven't returned the favor to Bandai, the one company that saw promise in us and picked us up off the street. I want to make .hack// a huge IP that we can work together on for the next ten years."

"It doesn't matter how skilled you are at programming. Someone who can't even say 'hello' is the scum of the Earth."
