...Welcome to "The World."
>>
Pulling yourself together, you smile at her and slowly sheath Mournful Muramasa.

"Not to worry. I will soon have this blade experience the blood of... many.."

1/2 Kind of blushes at that," Woah, oh-oh.. Heh.. If you say so... Are you like, roleplaying or something? I've got a few friends that do that. Nothing Ero or anything. But ya know, just kind of being in character. They're part of a Guild called Tea Gin."

"Huh, well that's kind of cool, you part of it?"

"Nah, just kind of doin' my own thing for now. Might check out the arena when I finally get some levels." 1/2 clenches her hands in a manner as though she's choking someone," I'll finally get those damn PKers in a spot where it's fair! Then again... at this rate, I won't be getting levels to... Heh.."

"Well, you going to be playing for a while? I may be new, but I played R:1. We could go hunting together."

1/2 smiles, "Yeah, sure, why not. But I'll be helping up level more until you catch up. Not a big difference though..."

Leaning over in your direction, 1/2 simply says," Well, invite me to your party!"

"Oh, um, how do I do that?"

"Open the menu, select my member address and then send me a short mail with an invite attached to it!"

You follow 1/2's instructions and find the recently acquired address, sending her a short mail that says, "Ok. :) "

{1/2 Has joined the party!}

"Good, now. For the area... Would you like to pick, or should I pick?"

It would be a measure of good faith and might aid us in making a new friend if we show that we show some faith in her to pick a good lowbie area.

>>
With a smile, and a small bow, you say," It would be this samurai's honor for his new companion to chose."

1/2 is somewhat taken aback by your roleplay, recoiling slightly, giggling, and with a roll of her eyes," Ohhhkay! Heh.."

The two of you walk over to the gate and she inserts the area word.

"Here we go!" She hops as the two of you teleport...

{Mission: Collect the treasure from the Beast Temple!}

You find yourselves at the entrance to a massive cave with purple flamed braziers at either entrance.

There's a thick forest behind the two of you and overhanging the mouth of the temple is the carving of an immense serpent opening it's gaping mouth wide for the entry of the two of you.

The sky is dark, and the cavern darker..

1/2 Starts to run on," Come on, let's go inside! We need to get to the bottom!"

"A-Alright!" The samurai in you is a bit perturbed by the daunting temple.. especially at lowly, least honorable level 1.

You charge in after 1/2 screaming, "Gomenasai!!!"

You catch up to her just as she takes the first hit from combat with a freaky-looking half-snake goblin.

{Combat start!}
A blue field encircles the two of you and locks you in the combat zone.

"Goddamnit! I've never seen a mob like this! It hit me before I even saw it coming!"

Three Snake Goblins are charging at you and 1/2, She unsheathes dual swords with a ripping chainsaw running through them and engages the one on the left, laying into it with rapid attacks, pushing the thing back into the blue barrier.

"Come on Mifune!" She calls back to you."

I advance swiftly on 1/2's target, she slams the snake goblin into the barrier and with a a leap, I cut the thing in half on the rebound, the cold flame of Mournful Muramasa shimmer in the air as something seems to slip into the blade.

You take a sharp and hard look at the sword, curious of what had just happened.

"Hey, lookout!"

1/2 calls out to you as you get a knocked in your back from the mid goblin's vengeful attack. You get slammed into the barrier as the right snake goblin follows up on it. Don't they seem a bit coordinated?

{Health is at 2/3}

The mid goblin goes for another hit to bounce your form against the barrier but 1/2 intervenes with an art, "Gale Blade!" She shouts, flashing and performing a beautiful maneuver that causes both of the nearby snake-gobs to get caught up in her attack.

You hear the frenzied running of her chainsaw-blades as she strikes across the horizon, spins around for another hit, and finishes off the two of them with the downward pressure of an air-blade.

The goblins all lie dead and the barrier dissipates.

{6 gp acquired!}
{300/1000 exp acquired!}

1/2 gibes you a weird look," Hey, hey, you said you played R:1 right? Can't just go looking at your pretty sword mid-combat... Focus Samurai, focus!"

You show the still drawn blade, and it looks as it usually does. 1/2 gives you a strange look, as though you're crazy.

"Must be some kind of graphical glitch or something. You'll run into them now and then... If it gets too bad, you should report it as a bug."

You check the stats on the weapon. Nothing seems to have changed, still lv 1, Curse attack, sleep attack... Rare 5... Nothing unusual... How strange.

You suppose it was nothing, likely just a graphical effect or something.

"Right, let's go onward!" You run ahead first this time, hoping to ammend your first embarassment...

"Hey, waiiit!"

1/2 begins to run after you. Hey, well, she set the energy! Charge headfirst into danger!

Eventually the two of you hit a split in the serpent's cave. One path heads on up, the other heads on down. In the middle of the path is a sign lit by a brazier.

It reads, " Down into the sky of despair, or up into the pit of snake."

You blink and reread that sign, is that a typo or something?

1/2 seems to be thinking about which way to go.

Dude, I think you meant to say "Bow chicka bow wow."
>>
With a smile, you point to the down path and proudly declare," My most honorable companion!" You break character for a moment," You down with going down?"

1/2 smiles and throws her head back in a laugh, "Wow, so the Samurai's got jokes! I'll only go down... if you go down first." She finishes with a wink emote ;).

Taking your joke in stride, you head on down to the "sky of despair."

As the two of you head deeper, the cavern seems to open up and everything begins to get foggy. The two of you continue to head deeper as the purple braziers end and between the clouds up top and the sheer space, it feels like the two of you are outside.

You feel a drop of water on your face as it begins to rain inside of the serpent's cave... seems that this is what it meant by "Sky of Despair..."

"Wow, this is pretty amazing. I swear, CC Corp does killer work on their areas. I love this rainy foggy area! Oh, be careful in fights, we're more likely to slip on the wet stones in here!"

"Ah, thank you for the advisement, most honorable companion! I will adjust my mosoooost esteemed stance!"

You say as you draw out Mournful Muaramasa and stand in an In no kamae stance, sword guard level with your face and pointed straight up, the ghastly fires of your katana seem to dance as the drops of sad rain hit it...

In the rain, the two of you see a blue field like the one you had fought in before...
{Battle Area} is seen floating around it.

There are some more snake goblins peering at the two of you through the fog... But the two of you could easily slip around either...

You and 1/2 run into the field with all of your vigor! Partying with this chick really gets you caught up in her energy!

With some resistance, the two of you break into the barrier just in time to see the knight from earlier smashed into the blue barrier on the opposite side of the field to you.

The culprits are a huge Ya tribe beastman wielding a colossal broadsword. His character skin is that of a panda... a muscular, and savage panda with s red aura surrounding him. The huge thing laughs heartily as it slams the knight back into the barrier, juggling him.

The Panda roars," Ahhh, these fucking Lord Partizans! Heavy armor and def progression is so fucking lame! Takes forever to get them out of these cans!"

A small Tu tribe beastwoman in the style of a Red panda sits patiently on the side-line with her staff on her lap, seemingly floating as she stands on a fluffy tail.

"Hey, heyyy.. Lorelai! There's some newcomers. You gonna kill them too? Make it quick, I've got a roast in the oven."

The panda relents in his assault and turns to see the crazed smile and look in his eyes," Oh?"

You decide to wait for the panda to charge, readying a counter to turn the force of that heavy blade away.

You see the panda step into the wet ground and charge across the terrain at you, the colossal chainsaw sword over her head.

"Die kitty!" The panda roars as he brings the sword across, you duck down as the wild momentum carries the panda and causes him to slip on the rocks.

From your ready position you bring your blade across his legs, feeling the sword glance off slightly off the armor, but still biting the PC.

Falling and rolling away from the cut, the Panda regathers himself and smiles," Heh, looks like the Samurai Kitten has some claws, maybe you'll be more fun than this fuck'n Partisan spewing knightly shit? 1 on 1, pah!"

You notice that the ghastly flames of your weapon surround the pc you had just struck, it takes her a moment to realize the fact and she roars once more, irritated," Bah, Molly! This fuckin twirp cursed me!"

The Red Panda sighs and lazily raises her staff," Rip-"

She's interrupted by 1/2 and the injured knight attacking her at once with arts," Gale Blade!" She shouts, while the knight comes in from above," Air Raid!"

The Red panda is struck from both sides and her spell is interrupted.

"God bless it Lorelai! They're working together now! Do something!"

"Molly!" The panda turns to assist her friend.

Then we wait out the other smashing the healer into the ground
>>
You decide to see what this "Sword Flash" is from your game menu... Focusing on the panda before you... You see that you've taken a dark purple and red aura before advancing upon the Panda!

"Lorelai, look-" The Knight jousts the healer across the stage as 1/2 pursues the victim.

The Panda charges for your allies just as you unleash a blindingly fast slash upon her back, cutting her once, twice, and then three long strikes in sucession. Once more the attack glances on armor, however you feel the flesh of the panda get bitten by Muramasa on that third strike.

He falls to the ground snoring, while the player types up a bunch of aggressive messages.

"Goddamnit! Where'd a faggot lv 1 get a sleeping and curse weapon!? This is freaking Hax! Ughhh!"

You mute that player log for now.

Roleplay time!

"Shhh, it's bed time..."

You see that the knight threw the Red panda cleric in the air, and 1/2 smacks her down," Taaake this!"

They seem to be interrupting her casts, but not making much progress when it comes to taking her out...

You feel that it's prudent to leave the big panda sleeping and follow up on the knocked red panda, cutting her up into the air for 1/2 to take advantage of her, knocking her back across the field while the knight rushes in with his "Air Raid" art again, skewering her multiple times in the air. Finally, 1/2 finishes the job with another slam into the wet stones and unleashes her art," Gale Blade."

The Cleric goes gray and lays on the wet field, dead. She types up a message," GG, PK you next time? LOL Need to get my roast now, kthnx... Also, watch out."

You look over just in time to see 1/2 smashed with the Panda shouting," Tiger Blitz!" Smashing the blade down on the poor twin blade, before bringing it over and finishing a V shaped swing, the motor on the Chainsaw greatsword running with the speed of a buzzing Razor.

A text bubble pops over the head of the Red Panda," Used a Caffeine Soda on Lorelai, she hates sleep condition. And Curse ran out. :P "

1/2 is out of commission just from that one strike.

The Knight looks like he'll drop in the next hit or two. Glancing over to me, the Knight smiles through his visor," Samurai! I have a smokescreen, we may have chance to run!"

"As if!"

The panda charges at the Knight.

With the charge of the Panda again, you rush in with your purple and red-flamed Art," Sword Flash!" You call out to lend strength to the attack, and connect all three of your attacks with a two handed grip, a shallow cut on the first strike, a trace of your ghastly flames on the second, and the finally another knockout blow on the third, knocking the Panda out once more. "Shhh, sleeping time again..." you say to the panda as she he starts typing up another set of ruse messages...

"A man who walks the way of the sword shall not turn and flee from a fight. No matter how terrible the foe." You say calmly to the knight, as he stares at you with what might be scorn if you could see his eyes from the visor..

"You... I suppose this makes up for what happened before..."

"That was your own fault." You say, curt and without hesitation.

"Werr, I don't care. Herp me kiru this guy and we carr it even." It's strange to hear the galant voice of a knight come out with the asian slur on L's...

The panda is still asleep...

You fumble your controller as you opt to attack, accidentally glancing the panda, causing him to spring awake,"Fu-"

You hardly get time to speak as he immeadiately springs into action, bringing his sword around in a humming chainsaw mode, you just barely block with Masamune but get pushed back.

The swing surprised the knight, and he was less fortunate.

It's just you and this very, very angry Panda... Not a sad panda... a pissed off one.

"I'm gonna shove this sword so far up your tail, your grandchildren are gonna hear you scream!"

The crazed Panda charges at you with the glow of an art...

You charge in to counter the monsterous Panda's technique.

With a growl, he brings the blade down however your weapon is far to quick!

After glancing so often against the other player's armor, you strike deeply into the weakpoints, you slide around to the back of the enemy and he falls," Damn... It...."

"Shhh... No tears... Only Blood. Gomenasai."

You see from the corner of your eye that something slips into your blade again, causing it to flash.

You take a look at the sword, perform the traditional maneuver to cast the gore off of your weapon and then calmly sheath Mournful Muramasa.

Your group, along with the temporary third member follow 1/2 without fault to the portal.

Instantly, your all back in the Eternal City Mac Anu!

Loading....

Back at the depot, there are few players around at this time of the night... It's getting awefully late, but first!

You turn to the knight and give a disciplined nod before dropping the ropleplay for a moment.

"Hey, look. I know we got off on the wrong start but I think we could help each other out, you know? I would be..."
Back on!
"Most honored for you to be my honorable companion!" You give the Knight a bow and 1/2 starts chuckling at your behaviour," Oh boy, this guy. Geez, you're sweet in a way, aren't you?" She looks at the knight that's frowning from the visible part of his mouth from visor, "Guess you two know each other, huh? Come on, give the bowing Samurai a break, heh? heh?"

The knight takes a knee, going lower than your bow," This knight wourd be most honoured to be your honourabru companion! The two of us sharr seek great honor... Together!"

"GREAT. Heres my member address. Care to give that dungeon another go? With the three of us it should be a piece of cake."

The knight stands as he gets your address," Here's, uh, mine too. I've got to rog off though, need to go to schooru. Hope to see you again rater!"

K. Alexander waves to 1/2 and you as he logs out.

Well, at least you made a new friend!

You and 1/2 are automatically restored in town.

You have funds for actual healing supplies, though you could always save them, or go around town.

You check your inventory and see that you have...

1 Wrath Legged
1 Scroll of Life...
1 Soul of Goblin
1 Soul of Murderer

... Eh? When did you get those?

You check Muramasa and see that it's still... Curse Attack
Sleep attack.
lv1.
Rare 5

You check the description of the "Soul Items" and you see that all it says beneath them respectively...

"Soul of Goblin"
-The Soul of a Goblin.

"Soul of Ya Murderer"
-The Soul of a Ya Murderer.


Wow... that's really... descriptive...

"Hey 1/2."

"Hm? What is it?"

"I've get some weird items on me... I'll open trade, take a look."

{Trade Opened}

"Hmm, Oh, you got that PK's Broadsword and a Scroll of Life! that's pretty good! You should use that Scroll on yourself to learn Repth. In R:2, and especially as an AR, you can learn magic as well. Should see about some spells, huh?"

Yup. Dude with the bigass basket of swords. Slaghtered the Capone Gang, then proceeded to slap Black*Star around like a sack of potatoes in their first encounter.

Was limited inventory space a thing in R:2? I can't remember. If so, check to see if the souls take up slots.

Also, OP, thanks to you I borrowed all seven .hack games and I'm near the end of Infection right now. I never managed to finish either series, so I gotta thank you.

The first series was a little bloated.

So many characters and the dungeons got abit repetitive.

G.U. was a pretty big improvement. Especially if you play undub.
>>
>>23657676

Fuck, yeah... I swear, Skeith was the freaking HARDEST phase... I think they made all the subsequent phases easier in copmparison because people bitched...

Aside, Skeith has the best name. Just the way it rolls off the tongue...

>>23657676
I feel sad that I did not and most likely won't have consumed any of that media aside from //sign(which was amazing) and //Legend of Twilight (which I agree sucked)
>>
>>23657702

Gameplay-wise, I agree. All of Haseo's classes are really fun to play; better than the first series. But I gotta admit, the atmosphere in G.U. is inferior, in my opinion, to the first series. The first four games and SIGNS just had this great feel to them that G.U. lacks for me, but it's great fun in its own ways.
>>
>>23657697
I seem to remember they also took away Elk so you were stuck with some lowbie like Wiseman.
>>
>>23657702

SO MANY CHARACTERS.

Yeah... and you get attached to specific ones that end up to not be available when you need them... I DID like the fact that it was a bit hard... But the final dungeon of the series pissed me off.

Effing dungeon of endless bugged monsters, going from 0% to 100% before getting halfway down, what in the even hell?
>>
>>23657715

Getting stuck as faggot twinblade with mediocre everything all around was pretty bad...

I agree with the atmosphere, everything seemed so much more dire...

I think what G.U. suffers is that Haseo has too much personality. You get a definite feel for him as a character and either get too wrapped up in what he's doing to enjoy "The World," or maybe it's that leveling goes too fast?

I saw signs too long ago to have fully understood everything at the time...

It was more MMO than other MMOs. Even the town player NPCs seemed so alive if you didn't look too closely.

Love it, especially when the corrupted graphics started making their appearance in the towns. And the BBS... Damn, the BBS. I read EVERYTHING.

And because this is outdated I'm just putting it out there. Quantum and Beyond the World are both pretty baller. Quantum is great for screencaps, some good funny but a meh meta plot. Beyond the World is just a nice feel good story about kids saving the za waruldo.
>>
>>23657774

I did do Quest, didn't put in the tag though ><
>>
>>23657784

I preferred the BBS in G.U., if for no other reason than you could actually save the pictures people posted on the forums and use them as backgrounds. It also seemed more like an actual forum; I loved the post where someone saw Haseo running about and drew a picture of him. ...Which you can then save, which I did, and put as my background. It was just a little more meta, I guess.
>>
>>23657784

I liked to twin-blade it up with Kite/Natsume/Moonstone.

But i'd also do Ryoko/Elk.

Despite Elk being a sadass, I liked him because he looked like Tsukasa. And I always gave him my best wavemaster equipment.

The Apkallu was pretty cool. But the more outdated BBS in IMOQ set the mood a bit better. It also seemed more like a random sampling of the population whereas in GU it was always the same cast of people posting. That comes down to the writing I guess.

Crimson VS was really cool and to this day I still toy around with ideas for digital TCGs with automated play mechanics.

>>
>>23657899
Well in that case .h//Another Birth is pretty cool too. IMOQ from BlackRose's POV. I've only read the first volume in CELL but wasn't very impressed with the writing/translation. Interesting concept though.
>>
>>23657927

It is pretty good for the character vignettes. Especially the not so often encountered side party members.

The final Ryoko dungeon where Ryoko and Blackrose squareoff in jealously is in the 4th book, I think.
>>
>>23657913

There is this:

http://dothackers.net/fragment.php

Or should I say, was.
>>
>>23657991
Fragment was halfway there (if you count shitty palette swaps as customization). But something like a KOTOR story line would really be needed. As Bandai found out, without a story the game really really sucks.
>>
>>23658008

Which is kind of amusing, because canonically there isn't any in-game storyline at all yet somehow it's the most popular game on the planet.
>>
>>23658060

Well it IS also the only computer MMO on the planet.
>>
>>23658060
There's quests and shit. Events and all kinds of other stuff. The PS2 implementation really suffers from a lack of variety in enemies and loading each room individually. But seriously, no one would play FFIV if all you could do was grind mobs and get new gear. Even the worst korean grindfests have some minor amount of reason to play beyond acquire gear. It's no wonder fragment died horribly.
>>
I'm just kind of disappointed you're forced into specific classes in all the games. (Except Fragment, but that doesn't count.) I would've loved to play some Tribal Grappler in R:2.
