.hack unfortunately is the unloved middle child of Bandai Namco stuck between Digimon and SAO. The Sequel games from the "second season" of the .hack series were already remade, so it's only right to make these historic gems accessible...especially since the 25th Anniversary will be in a couple of years. Please just give these games a chance.
I'll never forget how excited I was to have started playing this game so long ago. What many felt at the end of "Avengers: Endgame" and the build up to it was the original .hack games for me. To see this large epic story come to a close, one that even to this day still gives me goosebumps, was both bitter (because it was over) and satisfying. It honestly was my "Man..." moment of gaming. I would love to see this series come back, and I really GOG will make that come true.
.hack//IMOQ is probably my favourite set of PS2 games and one of my favourite franchises to this date. The old MMO aesthetic of the four/five games is a relic of a bygone era of gaming, with oldstyle menus to flip through, different and elemental areas to test your strength, quests for rare items and volume exclusive companions, and loads of NPCs to both trade with. I would love to see this game be available on GOG 💙

This was one of the first rpgs I ever played, after pokemon. I fell in love with the world, the characters, the level grind, all of it. the .hack series has always had a special place in my heart and I've been dying to be able to play them updated for pc. In these uncertain times, this game would bring a real spark of joy to my life.
.Hack// Had such an intriguing story, that spanned various media, including videogames, anime, manga, and light novels. Unfortunately, .Hack// and it's story have been burried thanks to Bandai heavily promoting Sword Art Online. .Hack//IMOQ was one of the first games to really pique my interest in both anime and gaming! Now, as a streamer, I would love to show these games some love, and share these 4 games with my audience, because the series means that much to me, as i am unable to setup an emulator to play these games! Yes, it is a typical grindy RPG, but I found the story quite phenomenal, and still do to this day!

I already wrote what amounts to an fluffin essay about why i love these games (on the post for INFECTION) but.. honestly QUARANTINE, despite being the most expensive, is literally one of my favourite games of all time. It's the climax of the story and even while reading the book i was insanely pumped the entire time and even while playing the game... chill bumps. Everything i love about these games about the story was just brought to light here and it was just the best way to end it imo(q ɔƐ:). I absolutely love this game and the other three in the quadrillogy (or whatever the word is), but this one... this one is my absolute favourite. it is absolutely a damn shame how difficult it is to access these games these days. I hope that one day we all can enjoy them legally and without costing so much as they do today.

I can't express how much I want the whole IMOQ to be remade/remastered/re-released on PC. It just makes no sense that made the whole G.U and not IMOQ (I STILL LOVE G.U WITH ALL MY HEART, BUT I ALSO WANT IMOQ!) I'd 100% drop money for IMOQ if they re-released them on Steam x.x.
The final chapter of the four part Kite saga, definitely a necessity to find closure to his narrative. And granted we did get .hack//Another Birth which is the same story told from Black Rose's point of view. To those who played the first three games will find it difficult to find this game affordably to finish the story. Having this game on GOG would make this game accessible to everyone who can't afford the second hand market prices.

One of the few games that makes me feeling a Lot of emotions, also the father of isekais, the history is beautiful and really a great OST, this Game remain in My memory till the end
.Hack is a famously inaccessible series with rare and expensive games. Despite that, it has a strong and dedicated community who are eager to explore the games again and share them with their friends. This would be a wonderful addition to your digital collection.

Final Fantasy III
Final Fantasy IIIFinal Fantasy III is the third FF game for the Famicom. The turn-based battle engine has been improved: if the enemy is defeated, the next character will automatically switch to another enemy, and not hit the air, like in the previous two games. The game itself is, like the previous games, a top-down RPG where your characters travel in the overworld, sometimes entering cities and dungeons to buy equipment, rest and fight random encounters and bosses with turn-based combat. Final Fantasy III also introduces various series staples, such as the Job system and the Moogle species.
