The .hack games were fun when they came out, but really there's practically no replay value in them now. There are like 5 different dungeons (and their corrupted equivalents) and 800 ways to grind, and that's about it. :P
The story is epic, though. It has that going for it, as well as the music.
I miss the .hack games, hopefully with the making of the new .hack movie they'll make another game. Hell, I'll buy a Japanese console just to play it.
I freaking loved this area. Yeah there may not have been a whole lot to do there but you always ened up there and were always satisified. I also use the name Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground in those location spots on formes or facebook XD
@kumakouri Thank you so much for posting the lyrics I've had this arranged w/o word for forever. Its truly beautiful i thought it'd be fun to sing as a trio just for fun
@njblair143 Well i know .Hack//LINK does many of these types of songs, im not sure if you know of it, so i wont say much other then it will never hit US/EU
@soulreaper234 Aura was no goddess, just a AI in the game that had unusal powers, one of them was able to give someone data drain, some of her mails was hard to figure out in the game but one thing is certen, she is the little sister type XD
@xigbar4ever1 morgannas(the world) perfect child i think but morgana mode gone happened and freaky crap happned i.e. skeith chasing down aura and data draining her idk morgana was messed up
does anyone knkow where the techno remix of this song is?
i heard it once on the gu game series, but i dont know if it was under a different name or what, if you do know, plz reply with the address, if not, i'll keep searching
Der Mann mit Schatten auf der Such' nach dem Abenddrachen... Der Mann mit Schatten kehrt nicht mehr hierher zurück. ...auf der Suche nach dem Abenddrachen. The man with shadow on the quest for the Twilight dragon.... The man with shadow won't return here anymore. ...on the quest for the Twilight dragon.
I heard that they were going to but it wasn't to popular...I think they were going to call it .hack//Fragment...But it's been a while since I read about it...
Yeah .Hack//Fragment was released in Japan but really nobody played it cause I think it wasn't like the games. For example I think you had to have 3 people to go to an area, you couldn't go with two or go solo. ._.
you could play it offline so i asume you could? but even if it did sucks us hack fans would be too much of a sucker for that sort of thing and play it religously anyway.
Eh I'm not too sure, but yeah you are right. I'm the kind to play any game, read any book, watch any anime, that involves .Hack. And I will enjoy it o.O
I agree, although I liked the overall design of Mac Anu in R:2 a tad better, maybe it's just because of the interesting skyline above that building the Chaos gate is in. <3
I didn't care much for the Steam Punk elements though. They seemed out of place. The version in the World R:X (Shown in the .Hack Link manga (Not yet out outside japan) or the upcoming game of the same name) shows it much the same but without the steampunk making it my preferred version.
I remember this in the commercial with all of the magic sound effects and the computer and static glitching in the bg it was so eerie and haunting in such a profound sad way like this GAME COMMERCIAL had me sitting there thinking about my place in the universe lol
Everytime I play .Hack//Infection, I would go to Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground and just listen to that song. Such a beautiful song, melancholic feeling, too. It's very nice.
Are there other versions of the song? I saw a long one, but it sounded faster. Could you tell me if I can find a longer version of this song, but in that pace and tune? Thank you!
@SinningHearts If you still hang around on youtube, you can upload the file by going to either mediafire or megaupload, and following the instructions there.
Has anyone played Primal by Scree I believe? This song in the beginning sounds remarkably similar... Also, later on, it sounds like the beginning song in Xenosaga: Der Wille Zur Macht... Either way, this is a fabulous, gorgeous, piece. Love it, very whimsical too.
Our church used to have a small pipe organ and I could play this when I took the key from my mom and sneak to the church. It was the most awesome thing ever.
I feel like they don't sing the full song because it's
