.hack infection


Epitome

Recommended Posts

Basically, the .hack world is like this:

[b].hack//DUSK[/b] == Is the manga, and I think it's being animated into a TV Series, it's set after the original TV Series [i].hack//SIGN[/i] -- it's also known as [i].hack//UDEDEN[/i] (udeden being the japanese word for dusk/dawn - from what I can gather)

[b].hack//SIGN[/b] == Is the TV series most of us are referring to when we discuss .hack, it's the one including Tsukasa, Mimiru, Bear and BT (and numerous other characters...)

[b].hack//INFECTION[/b] or [b].hack//MUTATION[/b] == are the PS2 games, there's actually [b]4[/b], but I don't know what the rest of the names are. I think, in chronological order, they're set after [i].hack//SIGN[/i] but I don't know about where they are in relation to [i].hack//DUSK[/i]

[b].hack//LIMINALITY[/B] == is the OVA set [b]at the same time[/b] as the four .hack PS2 games. It shows what is happening in the real world as opposed the games, which show what is happening in "The World" -- The good thing is that, with every part of the game (of which there are four) you get a disk of the OVA. So you don't have to deal out extra cash for them! ^___^

There we go ^_^ that's everything I know - if anyone knows differently and can correct me, I would appriciate it!

.hack//dusk is a poor fan translation, .hack//udeden is better translated to .hack//legend of the twilight bracelet (both the anime and the manga are called this). The chronological order is:

1-.hack//AI BUSTER (untranslated novel)
2-.hack//SIGN
3-the .hack games and .hack//LIMINALITY
4-.hack//udeden(legend of the twilight bracelet)

The manga comes after the games. It's about Rena and Shugo, two siblings who play the world. They look exactly like Kite and BlackRose from the games, because they won their character designs in a contest. Both the anime and the manga versions of it are the same, the anime is just an animated version of the manga. The name .hack//dusk is not it's real name, just something fans call it. It's correct translation is .hack//legend of the twilight bracelet. Vol.1 of the manga has just been released by Tokyopop:) Does that help?

[quote]Ok Im just making sure but, .hack infection is part of the .hack project right because my brother said it want and I just want to know.[/quote]Ironically, the .hack games are the center of Project .hack. Chronologically, the .hack games are as follows: INFECTION, MUTATION, OUTBREAK, QUARANTINE. As much as it suprised me as it will you, .hack//LIMINALITY happens AROUND the same time as the game they come with (i.e., they don't neccesarily happen at the same time). You figure this out if you play the game first and then watch the LIMINALITY DVD that comes with it. For INFECTION, LIMINALITY occurs after you meet Mia and Elk. For MUTATION, LIMINALITY occurs immediately after the end of the game.

Apparently, .hack//SIGN will cover the story of Tsukasa. However, for Project .hack in its entirety, SIGN focuses on [spoiler]Aura. Well, at least I think so, since so far, she's the only link between the anime and the games, except for Balmung and Orca. She is important for Tsukasa's happiness afterall (according to that ominous voice), and there she is in the games running around w/o Tsukasa.[/spoiler]

Lastly, .hack//DUSK isn't a poor fan translation. On the contrary, it is actually the fan-created short name for .hack//Legend of the Twilight Bracelet. It's a nick-name, nothing else. I would hit someone before talking about .hack//DUSK and repeated saying, "Legend of the Twilight Bracelet is blah blah blah so, I think Legend of the Twilight Bracelet is blah blah blah." God, that would be so annoying.

SPOILERS What the letters say.
1st letter

To the one who holds the book.
Skeith is looking for me.

There is no time.
Please help me

2nd letter

I want to be born. To live.
That is what I want.
Father. Morganna...
Bearer of the Bracelet. Help me.
Before there are any more
casualties!

3rd letter

I can't run any more.
If Skeith catches me...
There's still time. There's
still time.There's still time.
There's still time.There's still time.

Those are the letters and translated correctly as far as I know.

Azure Wolf.. [spoiler] Balmung and Orca aren't the only links between the games and the anime, really... Some of the characters from SIGN, specifically Mimiru and Bear, are seen in MUTATION, along with the other games. Well, at least MUTATION, I don't know about OUTBREAK and QUARANTINE... [/spoiler]
