The west never got this title, but I think it would fit wonderfully into a remake of the original four games as bonus content. Since the 25th Anniversary will be in a couple of years, it might be more feasible to try too get these games re-released for the 30th anniversary. Either way, please give these games a chance. There's a dedicated fan community keeping this game alive.

i mean lets be honest this game just has the coolest lore/concept and the fact that you can acutally play the game as a real mmo making your own character. so much could of came from this if they just kept wanting to try but ig money talks..
I never got to play this title, as the US never saw a proper release, but, having played IMOQ, and recently, GU, I would love to experience this game for the first time, as well as continue to share the world of .Hack// with my viewers.

.hack// always made the online gaming world seem like such a magical place. I was excited to learn they made an online version of "The World" in this edition of .hack//Fragment. It never made it to the USA, so I would absolutely love to see this preserved and playable. I want to get in and explore!

This would probably gather a very niche crowd, but released along side I.M.O.Q. (Original 4 games) with a server for multiplayer, this would probably encourage a small spark of curiosity for folks to explore. The music, the artwork, the mysteries of "The World", but this time with you being able to create a character and meet characters throughout the franchise to party up for leveling. The character creator is a little limited in some aspects, but wide options and alternate character friendly. With the multiplayer, it plays like it normally does in offline mode/solo like in the originals, except the game doesn't pause when using the menus and you can equip skills to quick buttons, makings the "classic" combat a little more fluid. Would be fun to play the game with others, see who they create, the adventures they go on, and the memories they share while playing "The World". :D

Love to see this properly translated by someone with a mind for creative writing and some quality of life mechanics to help the game thrive for past, current and future players who might be interested in this title.
This was a neat change from the original .hack//Infection Mutation Outbreak Quarantine game. It uses the same exact game engine but with improvements. Such as the most complaint pausing the game to do anything has been fixed with the shortcut feature. It comes with a story available in the offline game mode. Your character is transferrable between offline and online. You can create up to 3 characters from any of the 6 classes. But the real appeal of this game is the online mode. You can play up to 3 players per run, it's not a true MMO but more of an instanced online party. If all 3 of you and your team mates are wearing equipment that have "Awakening Skills" you can do powerful attacks. You can create your own guild or be invited to an existing one. Players can trade items one on one or sell items through your guild shop. Players can post public messages on the BBS or private in the mailer. And if you are really fortunate you can run into event NPC's online on specific days to run challenging dungeons. And the rarest of chance in running into an online boss called The One Sin, known lore wise how Balmung got his wings. Other features sees the return of grunties which can be raised in offline mode and be used in fields in online mode. There's much to do and the grind is real. Even if the game doesn't end up on GOG's published games, there's always the fan made server (more info at dothack.org/articles/fragment) to play this game today until they day we officially see this game available for everyone.

I never played this game. But, I played the original 4 .//Hack games on the PS2.... I think that, a remake/port of those games being made along with this, a game that never came to the west. Would be an amazing thing for .//Hack fans.

MadWorld
MadWorld"MadWorld is a unique action game experience with two signature characteristics: An eye-catching, monochromatic visual style that’s yet to be matched; and sense-shattering, bone-shredding violence. Experience a unique blend of brutality, humor and madness in a graphic novel-style world that’s black and white and blood-red all over. In sharp contrast to what you’ve come to expect on the Wii, MadWorld was available in American and European markets almost a full year before it was finally allowed in Japan."
