Does this piece of shit get a decent personality at any point during the series?

does this piece of shit get a decent personality at any point during the series?

he is beyond obnoxious.

he's a gamer, of course he's obnoxious. he's better than kite though. kite was a fucking crybaby cunt.

G.U. = Growing Up. He will develop into a nice young man.

Real question is dose he get more belts?

He gets some pretty damned good character development.

He becomes into someone far more tolerable and placid later i'll say that much.

MORE THAN YOU CAN FATHOM

How long would it take to get into that gimpsuit? There are buckles everywhere god dammit.

He's a game character inside a game, he can be as impracticable as he wants

How long is vol.4? Is it literally 2-3 hours long?

>does this piece of shit get a decent personality at any point during the series?
Yes, he goes from an edgelord to a soft dumbo. He was that player killer faggot from Sign who was attacked by Skeith and went into a coma for a few years.

Wow, that design is very gay.

He was Sora? But Sora is way more evil than him. What make him change so much?

He lost his memories after getting data drained by skeith.

Say what? I never finished .Hack Vol 4. Haseo is really Sora? I always assumed they are two different people.

I don't think they ever revealed this in game. Just from some book or interview.

Haseo is Sora's player though two years older.

They basically saw how popular Sora's character was from original TV series of SIGN and decided to finally do something more important with him.

So losing memories mean losing personality too? Because Haseo is a nice guy while Sora is a real jerk

At least your not like me when I didn't reallize Elk was Endrance for the last 10 years
Haseo turned into a bit of a cunt when Shino was turned into a lost one, he mellows out throughout the games.

>kite
>a crybaby

Did you even play IMOQ? Kite is a determined homeboy who don't really take any shit from anyone. If someone is an obstacle in his quest he just ignores them or steamrolls them. Even system administrators. He pretty much ignores lios until he sees that he's useful the the quest.

How the fuck do you make those rengenki things happen, my enemies never turn blue circley. Also does the game ever leave me the fuck alone so I can play it?

>two years older

No, 7 years older.

- SIGN - 2010
- G.U - 2017

Sora was a lonely loser with no friends who pked to make friends (hence "give me your member address and I won't pk you"). In the end of sign he risks himself to protect the people he has finally grown to care about, albeit in his own strange way. In (non-canon) Unison, this finally comes full circle when Tsukasa invites him to join everyone and have fun.

What we see in Haseo is someone who continued to be lonely, and when he finally trusted people they were taken from him, so he rejects everyone because he wants friends again. It really actually is a great way to show the growth of a lonely kid into a healthy young adult.

What I mean by rejecting everyone is that he feels like when he finally let himself be vulnerable he got screwed. You see this in the way he develops and has real friends in roots.

I actually really like roots, but I'm the only one who thinks that

Decided to re-watch .hack//roots.

Silly-go-round is such an underrated OP.

>I actually really like roots, but I'm the only one who thinks that
You're not. It's certainly not for everyone, but I sort of liked it.

Unison could be considered canon if we assume that Sora is the same vagrant AI seen at the end of Quarantine. But even so, its so pointless that may as well don't exist at all.

Haseo actually becomes pretty likeable later on

Yeah, I actually enjoyed it too despite the spoiler. It gave some good background on the characters considering how little you actually get about Shino and the rest of the Brigade.
Anyone else wish they gave Sakisaka some kind of model for the games?

Alright just tested it. You have to lay into a enemy hard enough for it to come up. Even after they die you can keep attacking them.

How/when do I learn to equip other weapon types?

Only after you get class extension

Just keep playing, you get one in each game

So which weapon is the best for Haseo?

to be fair he's in 4th grade when he plays Sora which means he was like what, 10 or 11? Compared to being 17/18 when Haseo comes into the picture.

Not an unreasonable development.

Especially when he lost the memory of the only friends he made during his time as Sora.

Damn, I had forgotten how good the forums on this game was.

if your using the twin blades, try guard canceling before the "mash A" chainsaw attack happens.
that way you avoid knocking down enemies and can get a RRRRengeki on hit 12 usually

Imagine being Bo's father, and seeing your 11 years old son drawing shit like this, or hearing him talking like a horny girl while playing online. Not to mention THAT poem.

.hack/GU isn't hard enough to worry about that.
But you shouldn't neglect a weapon and fall behind on attack skills.

Yes he does. And not a random 180 too. He very gradually changes throughout the games.

I forget, do you just dump all the stat raising items on Haseo or do the other party need them?

>Sora is a edgy tryhard underage
>Haseo is just fucking emo and a huge dick
>but by the end Haseo is a huge bro, well-tempered, but still willing to fuck people up if they mess with his buds, and like 4 girls chasing his dick

he turns out all right

It doesn't matter senpai. It was easy as fuck game.

Dude, i wish i could play IMOQ without my wallet getting suplexed. Count yourself lucky.

>there are anons in this thread who don't accept that Atoli is the perfect waifu for Haseo

I actually liked Haseo when he was a huge cunt. He had some nice insults.

It doesn't really matter, Innocent Call and Vol.4 pretty much confirm that they are a couple.

It's bitter sweet, I bought the series from gamestop in 2008 for like $15 per game, but half of them come in the shitty default gamestop case. There's hope though user, IMOQ is dropping in price. You might be able to get the whole series for about $250 these days.

Such as? I need it for science

This, the game is so easy like and if you over-grind and max your level out you shouldn't have a problem killing anyone.

>we still can't get Gabi, the dogman or the old gunner in our party
Fuck, they looked too cool.

>I actually liked Haseo when he was a huge cunt.

''Edgy'' Haseo is underrated.

i always figured that Haseo started liking Atoli more when he realized that her sweetness is a little bit of a put-on and she's actually like batshit

those two could scream shit at each other for hours

so can u use keyboard+mouse to play this or not

>4 girls
Child's play

>Open game
>See this
>No sound
>None of the buttons on my keyboard open the menu
>I ordered a controller, but I have the game now

Help. Help, please.

Atoli needed to be shit on. Lorefags in MMOs are the worst.

Did they ever tell us the identity of guild leader? I forgot the name, a child with scythe if i am not mistaken? What about the new volume?

Wait, Haseo is a girl right? I mean Sora was a girl.

>people say to watch the anime first
>download //sign
>its so fucking terrible I lose interest 2 mins of the second episode

Jesus christ tell me its not really needed

Canonically only Atoli, Alkaid and Endrance wants his dick.

Sora was a kid.

What are you talking about?

I choose to believe Haseo's character design was a dig at Tetsuya "Beltan Zipper" Nomura

Zelkova? In Vol.4 is pretty much confirm that he is an AI

Whelp
Time to buy it on the ps4

>Sora was a kid.
Yeah but in GU she should be like, what, 16-17?

It's not. At ALL.

The game is pretty self-contained.

You'll miss a fair number of references, but G.U.'s story is pretty self-contained.

Sora was a dumb kid during IMOQ, got comatose from Skeith, woke back up with no memories, and basically lives on his own at like 17 now.

Two of them aren't girls

Sora (Ryou Misaki aka Haseo), is a boy, the other Sora (Sora Yuuki, Kite in Beyond the World) is a girl.

Pls.

I like how he speaks 1337 when you get the AI copy of him in Quarantine.

This is Ryou Misaki (Haseo/Sora).

I got them as they came out and they’re still in pristine condition. I honestly hope they put it on ps4 or something, because I don’t feel like hooking up the ps2

>player killer faggot
kinda funny that he went from a PK faggot to a PKK edgelord

That was a localization thing. In the Jap version its nothing like that.

Isn't that Accelerator?

Well, when you think about it, PK and PKK are basically the same thing.

>Silly-go-round

This shit was my fucking jam. Does Yuki Kaijura even compose anymore? I haven't seen or heard anything from her since Madoka.

>Atoli looks way better IRL

HNNNNNGGH

Literally the entire point of the GU series is him developing and changing as a character.
He turns from an awesome jerk into a generic jrpg hero

Well imo PKKers are doing for good reasons.

The prettier the avatar, the uglier the girl.

A reminder that best-girl Alkaid is some buck-tooth nobody.

Wrong Sora. .hack//sign Sora is a boy. Girl Sora is a totally different person from one of the movies and uses a copy of Kite's player model.

Always disregard chainsaw-type TB, always go for charge attack

Alkaid (Chika Kuramoto) is cute irl too.

Nop.

WHEN CAN YOU CHANGE JOBS I WANNA USE GREATSWORDS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I cropped out the most important part.

Look up Kalafina which is the band that Kaijura currently composes for.

His Mother wishes he was dead instead of his dead sister.

SIGN did not age well at all. It falls into 00s anime hell where at the time it looked nice and the story/characters/setting were somewhat interesting enough to keep you watching until the end.

It and ROOTS are more supplementary to the games rather than mandatory, SIGN being moreso optional than ROOTS.

Roots was great IMO. I feel like rewatching it for this too but that would take too much time and I remember the basics.

Both groups are the same, and if you ask me, 'The World' would be a much better place without them.

>Roots was great IMO
>SIGN did not age well at all

Jesus Christ.

So he's so boring he makes characters that look like him?

>>Roots was great IMO

>tripfag liked shit
wow i'm so surprised

Does anyone know if there's a cfg file somewhere to get into the menus for .hack? I just need to make it so I can open the menus.
