I thought the story was good but the combat was repetitive and got very old very quick. Especially when getting ready 4 the final dungeon and u power level way 2 much and basically rape all lol
I enjoyed Haseo’s character as well, he was practically everything that Kite wasn’t. I found the characters in this game to have more development than in IMOQ.
Though honestly in terms of gameplay, that’s where the downer comes in. I enjoyed Infection-Quarantine much more in terms of gameplay and the battle system, it was a lot better with only six classes and multiple characters to a class. In this we have… 11-ish classes as all the old ones split up and only one or two characters from each class (just many Blade Brandiers). That was really disappointing, but I guess they had to do something to be different.
But still, the way of learning techniques… I liked in the old one how everyone can use magic, and skills were based on equipment, and every class had 4 elements of physical skills… rather than character based. It really should have stayed that way, it was a great system. Literally the only things the battle system had in common with the old one was spells like "Vak Kruz", which you only got to hear the black mage-like class say rather than everyone. It didn’t even feel the same, it felt like just spells of the same name in a completely different game. This also reminds me how I hate how they split the Wavemaster class between Black/White mages (whatever their names are).
I loved the earlier series of PS2 titles…and I hear a rumour that they were making an online version…Has anyone heard this or have any updates?
I don’t think the GU movie has been released yet in Japan… has it? About half a year ago I heard about it being in the making… haven’t checked up on .hack news in about 8 months but I’d be pretty surprised if it’s out already.
