The North American release of the Liminality DVDs included several Easter Eggs alongside the bonus content included with each DVD. These Easter Eggs include hidden menu options that could be accessed through specific DVD player button inputs. The original Japanese release had keywords hidden in the background details of some scenes, so the North American release has added the translated keywords into the DVD subtitle track. Most of the Japanese keywords include the Server symbol, but the North American version does not.

"transcription to right of image" Use the arrow keys on your remote to navigate
through the gallery. Use the right arrow key to
move forward. Use the left arrow key to move
back. To return to the Extras Menu, hit "enter"
on your DVD remote.

Use the right arrow key to start viewing...[7]

"transcription to right of image" Mystery//01 Mia and Grunty[7]

When the player trades with Noble and Iron
Grunties, the number of trades with Mia Increases
in the "Ryu Books." [7]

"transcription to right of image" Mystery//02 Sieg[7]

The character, Sieg, played by Tomonari Kasumi
appears as(sic) in the game. He is one of the two
players talking about Mia in front of the Chaos
Gate in Mac Anu. Though the incident in the game
and the OVA follow the same timeline, it seems as
though Orca fell into a coma before Tomonari did. [7]

"transcription to right of image" Mystery//03 Six Players in Comas[7]

In ".hack//Liminality in the case of Mai Minase,"
Tokuoka says that t here are six platers who fell
into a coma like Tomonari. From the accounts of
the game: Tomonari Kasumi, Orca, Alf, and an
individual related to BlackRose can be confirmed.
At this time it cannpt be confirmed whether
"Tsukasa" from .hack//SIGN amd ptjers from the
real world are included in the other two counts. [7]

"transcription to right of image" Mystery//04 Chat[7]

There are two ways players in "The World"
communicate with each other. The first one is
"Open Chat," which allows multiple players to
congregate and communicate with with everyone. The
other is "Personal Chat" where the conversation is
one-on-one. By using "The World Makeup Language
System (WMLS)" developed by CC Corporation, it
is said that there is no difficulty in selecting either
form of chat function.

"transcription to right of image" Mystery//05 The World Version Updates[7]

"The World" has been upgraded numerous times,
and with each version upgrade, several functions
have been added or limited. The fact that Player
Killing (PK) that(sic) was possible in .hack//SIGN has
now been disallowed in the game shows that there
has been a major upgrade in the system.
The official version upgrades announced from CC
Corporation are the following:
2006 "Fragment" ver. α-01
2007 "Fragment" ver. β.02
2007 (end) "The World" ver. 1.00
2008 "The World" ver. 1.40
2009 "The World" ver. 1.81 (.hack//SIGN?)
2010 "The World" ver. 2.01 (game & OVA?)

"transcription to right of image" Mystery//06 Red Chaos Gate[7]

A red Chaos Gate appeared in front of BT and Crim
at "Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground" in .hack//SIGN.
The field of "Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground" was
first constructed as a Root Town by CC Corporation,
but was discarded for some reason. It is said that
"Helba" created an original Chaos Gate using that
discarded field. Because of this rumor, the red
Chaos Gate is known as the "Helba Gate," but the
field that is conencted from the "Helba Gate" was
not created by Helba. Of course, these are only
rumors...

"transcription to right of image" Mystery//07 Engraving on the Sword[7]

In the "Log In" screen of "The World," there is a
sword with an engraving of "Key of the Twilight."
Apparently, the incident that took place in
.hack//SIGN was also a major problem for the CC
Corporation. A massive personnel change was also
conducted within the company. Since then, CC
Corporation and the succeeding System
Administrator have decided to display these words
to gauge the reactions of users regarding this
mysterious item, "Key of the Twilight."

"transcription to right of image" Mystery//08 Data Drain[7]

In the game, Skeith performs Data Drain on Orca,
and Yasuhiko, Orca's real world counterpart, falls
into a coma. However, in the battle with Skeith at
the end of .hack//INFECTION," the party members
do not fall into comas when Skeith performs Data
Drain. The power of the Bracelet seems to lessen
the force of Skeith's attack... but if Skeith had
performed "PROTECT BREAK" on the party, the
outcome could have been different.
