Genres: action, adventure, fantasy, romance
Plot Summary: In the near future, a Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (VRMMORPG) called Sword Art Online has been released where players control their avatars with their bodies using a piece of technology called Nerve Gear. One day, players discover they cannot log out, as the game creator is holding them captive unless they reach the 100th floor of the game’s tower and defeat the final boss. However, if they die in the game, they die in real life. Their struggle for survival starts now…

I see a lot of references while came from many MMOs with hidden ideals facing off with realism towards MMO gaming. It's not a Final Fantasy game I tell you that, it's Hard Core if you ask me. If you were in that possision, what would you do, how would your behavior change? Think about an apocolypes but only for gamers, survive on your own or help others. What would you choose?
:confused:

Thank you for not coming in here to TROLL or post arguements comparing Dot Hack or some other anime/manga you think was "better" or "did it first". I just wanted to share, have a good day.

First, SAO is awful.
Second, .hack did it first.
Third, what about it?

Oh yeah. Imagine SAO with FFXIV Server Delay.
The whole population would be dead in less than 1 week.

Pretty much this. Nothing new here and I don't think the concept would be done as well (or better) again.

The anime adaptation of SAO is terribad. You really should stick to the original Light Novels. They're only so-so.

.hack did it better, too.

And this is very much off topic.

This.

I believe had Bamco and CC2 marketed .hack right or gave it more publicity. it would probably be pretty popular this day and age. but yea dot hack ftw!

-_- What about Log Horizon?

I personally like this better than SAO.
Other than the main character, the show is really nice. Mostly bout politics and all. Action so so.

Sad the .hack series ended.

Sword Art Online has it's own video game so it isn't a Final Fantasy Anime. BTW there is a Final Fantasy anime but it isn't based on the online games.

Good news: it didn't. Bad news: the latest stuff is Japan-only.

Several, iirc. There was one which was a sequel to FFV, and there was FF:Unlimited. There may be more.

Yeah, I'm sorry I made the OP sound like that! I'll fix it! I have those Final Fantasy anime,lol! Deffinately not based on MMORPGing. I like all anime with a good story revolving a simple plot. I haven't completed watching ".HACK" or even this series. I have to schedule my anime viewing between other IRL task.
There sure are a lot of hack.fans,lol!

What other Manga/Anime is out there I don't know about? What do you like about them.

Me and other guy were talking about this in zone chat. What if SAO was Final Fantasy? The one guy was like that would be awesome, then I said ya until people tried to do titan then the entire population would die lol

This guy must be very masochist or wants to suicide.

Hate to be all old school, but if you look even longer back than .Hack you get this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JjhQ1Oi_3k&feature=kp

Whisked away into their game long before the internet made it's public appearance.

Back then duty finder took as long as waiting for your buddies to get out of school.

LOL at D&D cartoon. Oh man, that's an oldie all right.

Personally I enjoyed both seasons of SAO and look forward to the upcoming 3rd season that'll be coming out very soon.

But I totally enjoyed the whole .Hack experience, from the video games to the anime/oav and then onto .hack//GU, //Roots, and the CGI follow-up movie for GU as well. GU was such an awesome game, all of it. If that kind of .hack had come out in MMO form at the time I'd have been all over it. There was talk of .Hack mmorpg at some point, but I don't think anything ever came of it, sadly. I kinda miss the .Hack series.

Awesome thing is now that the Oculus Rift is approaching consumer debut relatively soon. We may find ourselves with real immersion MMOs like those in .hack and SAO, in the future. And that's a future I totally want as an MMO gamer.

Sword art is overated. Go watch log horizon :D

Lots of similarities though. The Pld gets yelled at a lot for not holding hate.

Kind on topic though:

My favorite zombie movies? The George Romero ones. He really gave no reason on what caused the dead to walk, or what the cure was. Just this unbelievable event you had to live through… nothing else.

Those type of flicks are my favorite by far.

SAO 1st season had that same magical feeling for me. This unbelievable event you had to survive. Seemed more about the characters trying to get through this, and that enthralled me.

2nd season lost a lot of that magic…. for me anyway. SPOILER AHEAD!!!! An all out corporate/fiancee of your girlfriend bad guy.

SAO had an interesting concept, but godawful execution. In my opinion, Log Horizon and the .hack// franchise both did it far better. Granted, some parts of .hack// (Legend of the Twilight, LINK) were kind of awful too, but they made up for it with other parts (my personal favourite is G.U. even though it was never released in my home region).

I didn't mind SAO so much, but I disliked the execution of it. I mean, it was too solely-invested in a romance plot for me that just felt... unnecessary, tacked-on, and forced. And yes, I watched the first season all the way through - and I really didn't enjoy it as much as .hack or Log Horizon.

Like a lot of other posters said, I enjoyed .hack more - and I feel it executed it far, far better. Particularly, //GU was -amazing- for me.

Log Horizon I actually only watched a month or two ago. and I literally binged the full season in less than a week. It was -that- good.

Kirito IS A BEATER!!!

I loved .hack// very much, and I fell in love with Log Horizon very quickly. Sword Art Online... I dunno, it didn't really strike a chord with me in the same way as those two.

Also, gif incoming~!

There's also FFVII: Last Order and FFVII: On the Way to a Smile ~ Episode Denzel. And if you count CG films as 'anime', FF The Spirits Within and FFVII Advent Children too, of course. ;)

.hack did it.

Oh, it's another one of these threads.

Log Horizon did the whole MMORPGs the best and I hear that the person behind Log Horizon never played MMO's.

To bad communities aren't that awesome on average.

No doubt. If I had to be stuck in an MMORPG with no clear way out, it definitely wouldn't be with this gen of gamers! Maybe 10 years ago, I would've jumped on that train...

The anime throws all that away to be a nice short mainstream cartoon. And even though Legends anime is by far the worst part of the .hack series I often see it getting praised in anime communities and on youtube because of the fact they gave in to the mainstream. People actually like big breasted dog humans, borderline incest, and cutesy drawings. It sucks, but its true. G.U. manga, movie and novels were pretty good, but the games were awful. Story wise. LiNK is really good if you give it a chance. I hated it at first because of character design and some of the plot points they chose but LiNK and onward are probably some of my favorite .hack after the original IMOQ story.

Actually .hack did not do it first. This is a common misconception. Sword Art Online light novels were released several months before anything .hack related. I love both series, I just constantly see uninformed individuals making this parallel.

No they weren't. That is what SAO fans spread to make them sound original. The current state of SAO did not begin until 2009. In 2002 is when the original SAO concept being written and I believe self published or something like that. Early .hack was written, conceptualized, published, and had a project path laid out by 2002. Meaning is was being written in the same way as SAO before 2002.

SAO, in it's original form, was posted online as a web novel in 2002. It was going to be entered in a light novel contest, but it was too long to count, and the author didn't want his work to go to waste.

This x100. If they had ended at the whiteout after the final fight then it would have been 8/10 but NOPE. Had to turn the strong female lead into a damsel in distress + incest wishing with the main character's sister. 4/10 at best because of that.

Side note, my Chocobo is named Grunty
