Due to activities in the Anime Thread, I recently downloaded all .Hack//SIGN, .Hack//Liminality and .Hack//DUSK.
It's great, of course, but I was just wondering some little things. I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that the order I put them above is the chronological order. If it's true, can anyone tell me when do the various games take places? Who are the heroes of it? I've seen pictures of it,
SPOILER ALERT!  Highlight to view:
and I'm wondering if the characters are Shugo and Rena, or the original Kite and Black Rose

Please be careful about what you do when entering this topic. I'm assuming that anyone who posts here knows loads about the .Hack universe. The spoiler section I put above concerns people who don't know a damn thing about the games and .Hack//DUSK. It's likely that this topic will be filled with minor and major spoilers. You've been warned.

ill answer some of your questions,
.hack//sign comes before the games.
.hack//liminality is a 45 minite anime move thats soppose to
explain the world of .hack to you.(hey thats what it said on
the back of the game box, i havent actually seen it yet  ^_^ )
.hack//dusk is an anime series the takes place a few years
after the last game, its soppose to show you what happens then.

Do you know if there is another thing in sight after .Hack//DUSK, like another game or series, or even a comic book?

There is no Player killing in the game so apparently .hack//sign is before the games. Next to that, Liminality is an anime with a seperate but similar storyline in the real world. A girl named Mai Minase searches for the reason her friend went under a coma only to find that the world affects more than it's online gaming.

I think .hack//sign is great, but I absolutly LOVE .hack//liminality.

Yes, but does Liminality's storyline go simultainiously to the game, or is it before or after the games themselves?

i just saw it 2 days ago.. (im still as confused as ever about the
world of .hack  x_x )
anyways I think .hack//liminality is after infection and b4
mutation.

reasons being..
SPOILER ALERT!  Highlight to view:
1. Seig is in mutation so it has to be b4 it. and
2. in the movie they were talking about how Orca is coma,
so it has to take place after the begining of infection if not
after it.


so it goes..
 .hack//sign(show)
 .hack//infection(game)
 .hack//liminality(movie)
 .hack//mutation(game)
 .hack//outbreak(game)
 .hack//quarentine(game)
 .hack//dusk(show)

again, thats just my opinion.

.hack goes like this...
.hack//SIGN is right before what happens in liminality and the .hack games.
Possible spoilers: highlight to view
in SIGN, that is not Kite and BlackRose; it's two different characters, Tsukasa and Mimaru

LIMINALITY takes place during the .hack games..
Possible spoilers: highlight to view
As you play the first game, you get news that says that two more people went uncounsious(sp) from the game. One awoke (Mai) while the other remained in a coma (her boyfriend)

DUSK (also known as UDEDEN) takes place after SIGN and the games
Possible spoilers: highlight to view
This is because Kite and BlackRose were banned from the World, and twins won limited edition character modifications(the characters being Kite and BlackRose) in a contest...so they play as them

There's also //ENEMY, a trading card game that's coming out soon.
Hope this helps... blush.gif

We'll find out soon once part 4 comes out. In the meantime, i do know that
Possible spoilers: highlight to view
both Mia and Elk are away in OUTBREAK. Mia was having problems with the text and Elk is always with her...

But I only played INFECTION and MUTATION, so it's just something I was thinking about.. blink.gif

To be honest, I never used Elk that much, I really only gave him gifts to bring up the affection levels ^^
Personally, I adore Moonstone and Sanjuro wub.gif
That's usually my party (with Kite, of course XD )

Terajima Ryoko and Balmung for me, I used Mia a lot, but it's my opinion that Mis is in a coma. I noticed that before someone new joined up, someone left. Therefore I think the game tries to have only a certain number of team mates at a time.

My Team was usually Kite, BR, and and Piros.
Elk, Elk is still usable in part 3, but like some of the others, he's not accesable from time to time.
Good thought on Mia, AD. Here's my take on Mia:

Possible spoilers: highlight to view
She knows more than the average person about the bracelet, and always seems to be at her worst when the servers on the fritz. I'm pretty sure she's either an AI, or data drained like Tsukasa
