  • Now, if we took FRAGMENT and updated it, with gender, class, and even clothing selections, then added in more monsters and a more community-based feel (plus loads of monster-battling areas for the hard type people), we'd have a successful game.

    Oh, and we'd need to make it the only game around. Anyone up for developing the REAL Pluto's Kiss?

  • does anyone know if two can play this game in offline mode?

  • A bit better graphics and i would play it :) if the controlls where good ofc

  • @rkuchiki But can you imagine the competition between Sega and Bandai/NAMCO if .Hack went through this type of style?!? 'o.0' Anyway I looked up on some gamesites that their doing another game for the PS3 possibly will reveal when the CGI movie is released. Well if thats the case lets hope they add MMO mode in it.

  • I would love to habe this game, but, is this only in JAP?

  • sad it the servers were ended in two years after opening it. would of been a good game to play

  • @Wing565 Honestly, no, it really wasn't. The ONLY thing to do was run back and forth between field and town, and you could only add friends to your servers. Nothing like an MMO at all.

  • was this console or pc...and was it an mmo?

  • this game has no variety, but i would still play it

  • So this is why Black Rose and Mimiru have about the same design?

  • this reminds me slightly of phantasy star online (dreamcast).

  • @BlackKanye i've read that the .hack creators used PSO as an inspiration

  • @rkuchiki cool. wish i could get the private servers to work. wanna play it online so bad.

  • @rkuchiki Its a logical statement. They do both have Flashmail and the gates. Its just a shame that Bandai apparently aren't as money hungry as Blizzard. Not even giving Fragment a chance in America was the dumbest thing they could've done... These American kids eat .Hack// for breakfast.

  • @harshserf2 .hack all across the world has a cult following at best and as mentioned b4 its a pso clone in terms of design. the only way the .hack series can be a decent mmo is if they use the xbox live network and use a more refined kinect system for combat movement. have a fmd system where your eyes can help detect menu movement. and wireless wii mote. one side being nunchaks and the other the movement stick. both wireless.

  • @LoveNoteProjects kinect + 3d glasses = fragment? maybe the next xbox will have full VR, but I think 3D is the closest we could get with current technology

  • @rkuchiki its not 3d glasses. since wen did mere 3d glasses detect your eye movement? last i checked 3d glasses are card framed colored plastic lenses. ok then...let me hear your way of making a full VR game that replicates .hack gameplay we see in the anime?

  • I think I saw Orca too

  • oooouuuhw ;; and kite and the guy with the wings are there to *__*

  • OOOOOOOH MY GOD THERE IS BLACKROSE *____*

  • okay when you first start off in the game, you talk to bear and bt, but after a certan point in the conversation the bring up somthing in yellow that looks like a keyword

    im stck there acuse i cant do anything

  • Can anyone give me a list of what I need to play this game on my Ps2. I have the Ps2, Swap Magic disc, slide tool, flash drive is there anything else

  • Hahaha! I didn't know you could make BT from .Hack//SIGN

    That's pretty cool!

  • how to play it on emulator :'(

  • @Treychik you don't. you need a modified PS2. I can't remember if it works with ESR or not. I think it did, but I could be wrong. Give that a shot. You need a way to install Free MCBoot though. Google it.

  • @rkuchiki thnx,but i have found already PCSX2 specially configured for this game...the weirdest thing is that i've found it on PirateBay o__0 ..and it was uploaded there recently...and they have also the image of the disc patched for eng. already! (i couldn't do it myself somehow - there was some kind of mistake)

  • @rkuchiki wait if you put the game into the emulator (asuming pcsx2) as long as its compatible im sure you can just connect it to a private server assuming there are any. ill give it a try later.

  • @Treychik PCSX2

  • @henritje19 Unless it was fixed fragment doesnt boot in PCSX2.

  • @rkuchiki you can always use swap magic coder disc. dont need to modifie your console for it. and there is USB Advance or Extreme - its for USB and its basically the same thing as MCBoot, but its loading from disc on which MC is installed, and from USB where you store games.

  • @henritje19 Captain obvious...I asked how, not with what programm...

    I played it already :)

  • new info on a new .hack game on may 28th, 2011. google cc corp and to to the actual cyberconnetics website

  • @pieguy811 that "cyberconnects" site isn't the CC2. cc2.co.jp is the real CC2.

  • @pieguy811 connects* sorry was excited

  • @pieguy811 really? cause i dont see anything .hack links was suppose to come out

  • @pieguy811 I CANT FIND IT COULD YOU PLEASE SEND ME A LINK TO WHAT YOU SAW D:

  • @FeralXemnas69 its fan made not the real deal. and theres videos of it on youtube /watch?v=QgwwLZtKRPQ

  • I still think they should put this game back ONLINE, in the U.S.A., and maybe have a event where in the 1st full week (7 days) of every month, the "Morgana" Factor will happen for the week, where all the towns look hacked, more protected areas & data bugs, and you even get to fight the 8 phases & Cubia.

  • @182supermario Please... "SAVE THE WORLD, TODAY"

  • @182supermario who's with me?

  • @182supermario yeah that would be.. like //Link, dont ya think...?

  • @Losieusatra Yeah, but, fans have been waiting for an official ONLINE .hack// game, and now they shut it down?, no FREAKING way!, so I think they should put the game back ONLINE, or at least, get someone to make a private server.

  • @182supermario no this game should have been re made and more like the game the series :Y this was a fail i am disgusted by the character creation

  • Dot.Hack MMORPG for Windows, Mac and Linux would be fantastic!

  • Can't they put a female twinblade based off of Kite, like they did in //Quantum? (//Quantum is an anime only in japan at the moment, but there are trailers and previews of the japanese version youtube) I'm just asking in case female players want to be like Kite, but want their char to be the same gender as them, like the main char of //Quantum.

  • I hope there will be an english version for PC...

    a free MMORPG to download would be great!!

    it would be a great success... even here, in germany <3

  • @Apocalypsa94 It was discontinued a long time ago....i'm pretty sure there will be no new versions...at least of this particular game

  • Lol, Probly got discontinued due to ppl being sent into comas XD

  • I could see how this was made to fail because it just recycled Sprites from I,M,O,Q

  • God I would love to play this game.

  • @Callecutta Me too...

  • Omg Moonstones character model >.< I wanna plaaay

  • amazing....

    its this old and people still coment

  • its cool for .hack to become a pc game and i would really like to play if i can download it....is the japanese version still going on and do u have to have japan program to download it????

  • @dhenshin

    Actually, they shut down the official servers some time in 2007, meaning it can't legally be played anymore. Some people have tried making private servers, but most (If not all) have given up on it.

  • I've heard rumours that the game was designed to fail, and that it was really just an advertising ploy to market GU. Anybody want to help verify/deny?

  • @peaceguy8 dunno but they certainly didnt try hard for success

  • @rkuchiki do people still play this?

  • @tsunayoshi3 the game was shut down and at E3 06 they said it would never come to north america

  • @peaceguy8

    Nope, Bandai didn't expect to people to fall comotose playing the game 24/7.

  • @TahirIsBallin lmaoo

  • @peaceguy8 Denied my friend. They wanted to create and MMORPG based on "The World." Yet due to it's literal failure to launch they shut down the servers and decided not to release in America.

  • @peaceguy8 i dont understand why they would do such a thing Making it a mmo would be better than making the show its already fun as hell for ps2/psp Why not let us play with friends the shows suck (Some what)

  • @peaceguy8

    Hmmm that could be, I've heard of things like this being done when gaming head leaders of a company disagree with other leaders (and sometimes departments).

    Some people say the same thing about the sonic 4 game for wii, so sega can say "we gave you what you asked for and you didn't like it" so they can go back and make a sonic hero 3.

  • @peaceguy8 I've read in a few places that it was made to fail, that is just a base for CC to build on and create a real version of The World

  • @drizzt1114

    By "real version" do you mean as a base for the G.U. games? Or an actual version?

    @ Anyone

    Something kind of interesting and obvious, but kind of cool nonetheless. The original version of "The World" in the video game's was called Fragment too. Which was then shut down...

  • @waj9876 That is pretty cool. Fragment was the beta of The World in the series and being introduced around the same time, I thought they were going to replicate the time line (Me being the uber nerd that read the whole series thought this up). But that being the case, they would have already launched The World in '07.

    It's a shame I'll never be able to beat monsters/players with the Valhalberd T_T

  • @peaceguy8 Well the thing was people wanted looks like those in the first four games, but with the ability to play for themselves. Which is why it may look like it was designed to fail to you.

  • wat does the patch do and does this work on mutation?

  • Only released in Japan. Runs off Japanese servers. It's not going to be released for North America. With the right proxy, you might be able to get to the site to download it.

    And English patch? I doubt it.

    Making one would be pretty impossible too. Well not impossible, but you would get banned for modding copyrighted files.

    I can't even find a download on The Pirate Bay.

  • They should make a new one with like the .hack/GU classes in it to and stuff! That would be awesome! (And hopefully come out to America) > w <

  • @darkgenis

    i agree if they do it like g.u cuz the graphic world look better

  • Not very much in the customization there,

  • You could probably find a torrent for this on an emulator or something. But I doubt anyone is seeding it anymore, they even shut down the servers in Japan so the only ones running now are the private servers

  • The only time japan releases anything to america is if its really popular enough to make worldwide and then they have see if the people in the other countries like it. once they get a good feedback they may keep releasing the newer ones. but you can already tell that this didn't make it because it looks like they didn't even try to make character creation good at all.

  • it's too bad they won't make it in english =/ only japanese

  • what game is this?

    what system is it for?

    is there a USA ver?

  • @yoivaporuncamino even if you dont know this is a game base of an anime and its japanese and its for the japan ps2 or moded ps2 y yy y is it japanese i need to play it

  • @fearisgood1122

    you're a total moron cuz the games are much older than the animes but ok..

  • @andrecseta who cares. it's .hack!!!

  • @yoivaporuncamino

    Sadly...no.

  • Wow, the character creation looks ALOT like Phantasy Star Online.

    Even the character models. o_O

  • I don't know why they called it off, with psu and ffXI already big hits they can make o new .hack mmo for ps3 and xbox360 as well as normal pc gaming.

    Maybe they need a little'?' push into the idea.

  • still think Dot hack GU should get an MMO based off that kind of gameplay

  • I really wish this came to U.S.... I want to play as a Balmung model T_T

  • @CalebtheWonderer

    I feel your pain...I will never forgive Japan for never releasing this game to U.S!

    We may get Dragonball Online...I'm happy for that...BUT IT DOESN'T FILL THE VOID!!

  • The real reason as to why the game was discontinued was because of a sudden missing person's case that appeared in japan. He had been playing in The World for quite some time and suddenly he disappeared without a trace. The media was kept quiet by the company.

  • @Kaze967

    Way to take the storyline from the actual game, dumbfuck.

    Anyone who cares about this knows everything about dot hack, give me some proof that this actually happened.

    YOU DISGRACE THE WORLD BY MAKING A MOCKERY OF IT'S HISTORY! BEGONE WITH YOU!

  • I was saying outloud "Pick Sora, pick Sora!" when you got to the Twin Blade section. xD;

  • @Axel5550

    wtf i dont get it wheres Sora?

  • It's character type C in the Twin Blade section.

  • @Axel5550

    thats not sora at all lol thats kinda what i meant

    its just a twin blade character

  • No, that is the character model for Sora.

  • @Axel5550

    how the heck??? .hack was created long before KH lol and Sora uses a single Keyblade and he does not wear a hat... lol

  • Oh, I see. Either you think of me as a huge Kingdom Hearts otaku, or you don't know about .hack//SIGN's Sora. lol

    Either way, that IS Sora(But not that Kingdom Hearts fellow, of course). Character base C(not D). he's wearing a bandana and you can get his coloring by using the last color in the character selection. Look him up. xP

  • @Axel5550

    oh crap sorry dude i actually thought you were a KH fan

    lol your user name really got me there and i know Sora the one in the purple and in real life hes a kid and hes also Haseo lol

  • As long as we see eye to eye. : )

  • @Axel5550

    agree lol its just my friends are uber KH otaku fans and im sick of hearing or seeing the names of the characters lol

  • ... I came....

  • it wouldve been cool if they made fragment for the PC

  • Comment removed

  • they did but it wasnt released in the us due to bug problems

  • oh that explaines why some looked like kite

  • oh yea, u can tell they went all out for character creation

  • @olpdragon haha i know.. it's sad.

  • @olpdragon Yeah, I know right cunt.

  • @olpdragon I agree it could have been better, but to be honest, .hack is so cool i dont even mind. hopefully they come out with an improved version with the servers back up. i know i would sign up

  • @olpdragon Lmafo

  • @olpdragon sarcasm lol

  • maaaaaan, they dont have a good selection.

    thank you for uploading this though! :D

  • Why do two of the three female Heavy Axemen look like they cant hold up their axes (specifically the "Subaru" designs). Subaru never looked that pathetic. Regardless I wish I could have gotten in on this before it closed down.

  • Well, Subaru's axe wasn't that epicly huge, haha.

  • hm... it seems to have lesser options to choose from unlike the actual "the world" that we all know.

  • Am I right in believing that fragment was dead along time ago?

  • Yes. Originally intended to end November 2006, the online service for .hack//frägment ended January 18, 2007

  • @Lego3400 Do you know why they stopped it?

  • @kyuubi111

    Not enough people were playing the game to maintain servers, So CC2 closed the servers down.

  • No, that's not correct! I don't know where this idea came up from. In fact, its the complete opposite. It was so popular they even kept the servers open LONGER then was scheduled. This game was just a test and they had announced it from the beginning when the servers would be closing.

  • @QwoPhasaArius

    *note to self*

    Never trust wikia sites...they lie

  • I'm sure they had been considering pursuing a full online adaption of The World sometime later in the future but for one reason or another chose not to. I wonder why. The demand was certainly there. Every time I pop one of my .hack games in my PS2 for a spin I always think ''Now THIS is what online gaming should be all about''

    Its a pity.

  • @QwoPhasaArius

    I know what you mean, I love these games so much. Just curious, what aspects do you think should be more a part of mmos?

  • I will message you. I ended up typing too much for You Tube comments, sorry.

  • man if this picks back up i wanna try it...just needs more customizations

  • Where Did you get that???

  • man if they had more variety of character making it would have been a lot greater.(even PSO had a bigger selection)

  • Does anyone know where I can download the english patch for this?

  • there is non, only japan released.

  • yea but from what I heard you could download a third-party patch to make it English.

  • If you find it out, message me, please... also, do you know where to get a free copy of the game at all?

  • they have an english patch? can u give me the link to get the game and the patch

  • @okami485 There is none. Unless you make one.

  • @okami485 I do but a friend said the patch was corrupted.... We might have a chance of still hacking the servers online atleast for Japan. Then if it works we might do a translation project like CoIdBird tried.

  • @okami485 I do but the file is damaged DX

  • OmG this is a really game how did you get this

  • Its only for japan...

  • There WAS an english mod for this game, it was online but it was discontinued. :|

  • I hope someone's made a private server for this.

  • fragment is only for ps2

  • Hey could i order this and play it offline?

  • Yeah. Just get it off ebay that's what I'm doing.

  • ohhhhhhh ok !

  • can you play this game online ???????? how can you ????? i dont get it ???????? i havent slept in 2 weeks SOMEONE HELP ME!

  • you cant stupid

  • oh for heras sake, this game has been long discontinued, no servers exsist anymore so you cant play it

  • God damn thats Funny!

    You must look mess

  • wow this looks like such a great game  but it sounds like it isn't up anymore...

  • can you still play this on offline mode

  • only if you import it from japan

  • if they want to make this right they have to fix graphics, character choice(and i mean something complicated that makes it impossible to have someone look like you) , story, game play, add more maps and add the head sets and the movement going with it...but alas i dont think its possible at the time lol, how about actually getting in you in the game XD thatd be fucking awesome like metrix but im just going crazy now lol

  • form my idea in seaching on this game i found out this was a test to see how the players would act and i say it was bad but by this time afther hack//GU they are geting better but its hard to chag to a other console because of the 8 games play and sold with ps2 so its possable it well come out in pc but headsets are out / they try headsets and a tester on it got brain damge so it well not come soon with that + the game is coming back but in 2016 and by that time they got a lot fixed

  • It was a fckin prototype

  • i can under stand why they would cut this, dot hack was all about plot. its gameply was average at best but .hack//gu although sacificeing some plot value they created a awesome battle system i bealieve if they made another adempt they would surely succseed this time in making THE WORLD an actual online game. the only thing that stoped them was the bad gameplay for dot hack with that sovled wats to stop them it would be a huge hit of course they would have to modify things a bit but its obtainbl

  • u can get it for free....u can download the ps2 game data and burn it (u need a torrent download like u torrent or flashget) OR u can look for a private server.

  • it is on ebay. but it sadly doesnt look that fun as i have imagined since my fifth grade year.

  • how disappointing, you just pick one of the premade character models from the .hack// quadrilogy. i was totally pumped to see all the possibilities, but this is lame. there would be a million kites and blackrose characters running around, just with different colors.

    i like sanjuro, myself.

  • tell me about it...

    ...we need a proper .hack ¬_¬

    i recomend not getting any hopes up.....the games already out are as good as it'll get...unless they make a weird saga were loads of people come back to "the world" even though they should have grown up from games and etc.......

  • the game is also discontinued and wont be coming to america.

  • yup....u got that right....>.>

  • lol....that would b kinda funny....>.>

    like shugo, ouka, rena, balmung, magi, reki, haseo..... LOL that would be funny!

    but.....I know some people who are trying to create a .Hack online game for the PC for all those who wish to play..... They themselves are major .hack fans, playing the PS2 games like 10 hrs. a day...(No lives! XD)

  • Yeah looks awesome, I would love to make a fat Tsukasa

  • its a game in japan only you have to buy

  • it's closed. all the servers don't work anymore

    so even if you manage to get it, you won't be able to play it

  • that's the online portion, which is just the offline portion with live people.

  • You can play it, you just can't play it online.

  • haha you could make her fat! lolz

  • I agree with you for the most part I dislike the high likely hood that will meet a character that is EXACTLY the same as you I enjoy .hack and stare at the very possible MMORPG with a lust that only gamers know but I realize now that it could be done now but I believe until designers wake up Requiem kicks ass

  • I say this game looks awesome. They should have never stopped shipping them here.

  • think about it. why did they stop it in japan? its because the game was crap. lame PC creation screen,lame area creation system, you couldnt play the online unless 3 people were with you.the game was nothing short of bad

  • Well I guess that's true but they should at least make a better one.

  • Is it possible to download .hack// fragment on a PSP to play? I'm trying to but I dont know where to find a site.

    Life would never get boring
