Can i just say, the ost to this whole series is a damn bop. Jesus JRPG's just dont do it anymore. This was just a parody of one online and it's more memorable than any recent MMO's ive ever played. Insane.

[@jashak9291]

I watched //Sign without knowing it was just a part of a multimedia project. Now I've been going down the .hack rabbit hole trying to piece everything together. These videos helped a lot! Its so much better than watching full gameplays or just a collection of cutscenes. Thank you for this. I appreciate your effort!

[@DragonaxFilms]

Haha Mia turned HERSELF orange, what a funny cat thing to do :-)

[@EviIM0nk3y]

Kite got that hacker rizzzz

[@guidofedeli851]

This was such a nice trip down memory lane. The ending made me misty eyed, I guess I miss it more than I thought. Thank you so much for allowing me to have done this.

[@HardModeActivated]

I'm glad the videos helped you relive the memories

[@buddyman1990]

These games were WAY ahead of their time.

[@deedaskein]

Thanks for doing this series. Very grateful you put so much effort into this project !

[@HardModeActivated]

I am grateful for your support!

[@cmf1402]

Just got into .hack, watched sign and watched your .hack playlist. I think you did a great job at making the video and explaining the story without losing a lot of the tension. Keep up the good work.

[@mp-potions]

Thanks for covering .hack series! Man, I remember watching my brother play as I failed playing since I was waaay too young, watching this all feels like I put back a missing piece into my brain, the ending hit so hard.

[@HardModeActivated]

I'm glad you were able to relive the experience from way back when :)

[@JaguarCats]

21:45 and there's your shipping fuel for Blackrose and Kite...also for Kite and Terajima =P

[@zysacourh3909]

Thank you for making these videos, I never had the patience to fully play IMOQ and experience the story but was always hooked on the series.

[@Someguyhere111]

Love how the emails Kite receives at the end alternate between "Thank you" and "Wanna meet my parents? ;)"

[@munkeezrool09]

On a whim i decided to watch through dot hack sign and once i figured out that the story continues into the games I wanted to find a summary or playthrough of the events of the game and I was very happy to find your channel and these videos! I very appreciate the work you put into making these very quality videos on each game as well as the liminality ovas. keep making great content!

[@allexverge7142]

Really appreciate all the work you put in to this video series! Thank you so much!!

[@rafaelfarrer2844]

Amazing series! Thank you so much for your effort!

[@Me_llamo_vic_arte]

Thank you for these 🥰

[@DCBN76]

Just find this in my recommendation.. I thank so much for all of this

[@hyperxlllmonkey]

This was wonderful like an audiobook of the game. Think you could do GU

[@HardModeActivated]

I am also planning to make videos for GU, I just wanted to play more games from my backlog

[@pierrepause9363]

Thanks for the full story, i wish we could have a remake or another series

[@HardModeActivated]

I do too, I would want more of a remake tbh since I feel like the combat isn't it's strongest feature

[@pierrepause9363]

@@HardModeActivated for me its the story the most strongest feature (at that time), i was a kid when i bought dot hack 1 with the dvd in a flea market. And i was really surprise with the gameplay and the story with Aura and the waves

[@HardModeActivated]

Same for me, I played the first three games but never got the last one to finish it until recently. I think the only reason I feel the combat could use some work is because it pauses every time you open your menus and you have to hold onto tons of gear to use certain elemental attacks/spells and your teammates will follow your command only once so you have to keep pinging them to do certain things. The story was definitely what sparked this series since I'm sure others would like a refresher or some nostalgia

[@ruwudboy]

Been following this from the start... Great job on the videos.

[@HardModeActivated]

:O woah! Thanks for the long time support!

[@MooseEatsBears]

NO I MISSED THE PREMIERE - Thank you so much for these videos.

[@HardModeActivated]

hahah it's all good, the quality wasn't as good for premiere so lesson learned! Thank you for your support!

[@Pixiskhan]

awesome videos lad, been expecting this one for a while :3

[@HardModeActivated]

Thank you so much! I hope it was worth the wait :D

[@allenkimsin2415]

Thanks for the whole series! Loved the nostalgia all the way through and your use of the OST. Maybe next time you could potentially add cutscenes with the characters original voices!

[@blurrydawgo5403]

Hey, uh, one thing I just wanna say given the oppurtunity. Apparently, CC2's Little Tail Bronx series has a number of .hack references, or at the very least Solatorobo and Fuga reuse some assets and designs from them. I think Solatorobo even jokes that one of the villains from the series helped destroy the world. They're pretty obscure games themselves, anyways. See if you can check them out sometime.

[@yokoyokome5281]

Man thanks for reviewing the series. By far this anime/game was my favorite along with afew friends that pass away yrs ago. I want to replay the games. But each time i tried. I kept making excuses not too... Anyway thank you for the 4 series videos you made. I appreciate it

[@HardModeActivated]

I fell under the same situation and I never finished the games when I was younger so I figured there might be others out there who never got to experience the game to completion. I'm glad you were able to enjoy the videos :)

[@DarknessAve]

It has been a very long time since I beat this game. It was nice to get a short reminder of a classic.

[@HardModeActivated]

That is the exact reason I made these videos, I hadn't played them since I was a kid so I figured maybe others who haven't played it in a while can get a refresher.

[@ruscribbles]

I've been poking around the .hack// series as inspiration for a personal story, and this series was such a great help in my research without having to go through the [admittedly tedious and repetitive] games themselves! This helped me a lot while playing the G.U. series as well, since I could catch onto little Easter eggs and goodies. Thanks so much for this detailed summary, especially for such a niche game in English-speaking communities :)

[@HardModeActivated]

Yeah I hadn't played the games since they first came out and I remember liking the games so in my pursuit to complete all four of the games I realized no one really talked about the story and I wanted others to experience the game they may not have finished either. I'm glad to hear the series was helpful for you :D

[@leknaat_oruoram]

I litterally just abandonned Dot Hack Quarantine because farming 30+ Virus Cores is so damn boring and frustrating!!! So I seearched for a video to see what happen after where I was... What an incredible chance you published this video relating the game story just a few days ago?!?! Thanks a lot!!!

[@HardModeActivated]

Hahaha yes the core grinding was annoying, if this game ever gets remade that is the first thing I recommend they remove near the final few bosses. I'm glad the video helped you see the finale of the story! \o/

[@NeitouSama]

Very awesome, still, though that is a very weird ending. Wouldn’t wouldn’t she therefore be re-creating Cubia by giving you the bracelet again? Hmm. That’s an unusual plot hole lol.

[@syaieya]

Seeing you fight Macha reminded me just how much I ended up neglecting the close combat and turned into a long spell caster/ healer. Constantly pulling from the menu and inventory. Loved the story of this game series but wow it had its clunks in combat

[@HardModeActivated]

Yeah, whenever I play MMORPG I play tank since DPS and healers are squishy, but with AI that will use the move you tell them one time and resume back to normal attacks it's hard to rely on them in big boss fights. But I've heard GU has better combat so I'll give that a try later.

[@syaieya]

@@HardModeActivated GU is much more slick in its skill use and overall snappier. I have thoughts on Haseo but as a game I still enjoyed the trilogy and the prequel anime. You did a great job pulling the story together and giving it the narration to fill in the jumps

[@nomernomznomz6015]

I've rewatched these like four times lol 😂 . Amazing uploads my guy keep up the content. Man this brought back memories 😊. Will you by chance be planing to do a series on G.U. ?

[@HardModeActivated]

Thank you so much for your support! I do plan to in the future, I just needed to take a break from .hack to play some other games.

[@demonkiller8000]

A full story video on Dark Cloud and Dark Cloud 2 would be amazing!

[@HardModeActivated]

I've never played those but always wanted to! I will add it to the list! :D

[@mattcotton3219]

I couldn’t afford the second games at the time . Thank you for finishing the story for me . Hopefully you do GU too . Thanks again :)

[@HardModeActivated]

Oh yeah it's definitely on the list, I just needed a break to play other games haha Glad you were able to enjoy the videos :)

[@kxqlion1061]

Cool video! I would like to see ai buster and zero as well

[@HardModeActivated]

I was tempted to do those as well as the Another Birth novels but for that I would need to brainstorm another method of how to do those videos from how I've setup other Full Story videos.

[@kyotheman69]

nice to see story done up in video, i dropped the series i was just not fan of combat, i found it very boring and repetitive, i loved the story i just couldn't with game play.

[@HardModeActivated]

Yeah the combat wasn't one of it's strongest elements, if it made some sort of improvement between the four games would be nice but also might take away that you're playing an mmorpg in a specific era

[@joaquin5541]

Please do G.U. next!

[@HardModeActivated]

I definitely will do GU videos, I just need to give myself a break and try other games but they will come :)

[@Brithoveen]

Can you do a the .Hack//G.U. games next?

[@HardModeActivated]

I do plan on playing the GU series, but I also need to watch roots

[@Brithoveen]

@@HardModeActivated I hear ya definitely I loved the GU series and I watched a small chunk of Roots. I'd love to watch that again. I really enjoyed your .Hack series here! I loved these games. I wish they would remake them with and actual online feature!

[@SuxMenner]

Were the spoilers for Liminality and Unison really necessary?

[@MastaFista]

he's still as obsessed with mia in the sequel. Geez elk, get a life.

[@HardModeActivated]

Hahaha oh man I can't wait to see how he acts in GU

[@Conflictproject69]

I do love. Hack but the ps2 games did not need to be 4 games and the overall story is really not that deep the whole twilight dragon blah blah is all nonsense its just a story about Harold making the ultimate ai and it getting angry that it was gonna get deleted after giving birth to aura that's basically it. Nothing else that the party do really matters 😊
