dotHack//G.U. Event?

[Kerrik]

I think it would be awesome if we could get a .hack//GU cross-over event eventually, especially with the remake and NEW episode coming out! For those who are not aware, you can checkout the announcement:

Just imagine how edgy you can make your DRKs with some of that armor glam

If it were for the original dot hack games I'd be all for it, but I was disappointed when they said GU was getting a remake and the old ones are not. GU just wasn't anywhere near as good imo

I would love a .hack// crossover but I doubt we will get it, usually the ones we ask for are not the ones we receive.

Hey, if they were doing a remake of the first series, I would be all for it, but it was all really good in my opinion. This seems to be a really obvious opportunity, but what do I know, I'm in the US just paying a sub. lol

To each their own! I just didn't like the GU games. I tried to really hard though. Crossover events are usually fun either way so I support them for the most part...unless they're a straight up fate grind like the Yokai one was. Neat stuff to collect is nice, and if they did one for GU then I would indeed collect the items.

SIGN was amazing, the original games were pretty good (as was Liminality). The books and Twilight Bracelet were... alright...
Roots/G.U. and everything beyond were... well, let's just say I kind of started hating the series after those came out.

Technically, a remake could fix G.U., but it'd have to basically just take a few core plot points and start over with everything else (No more focus on the Arena, for the love of all that is good. Tell your story and form the gameplay around that; do not form your story around the gameplay you want to show off to the players).
Retconning everything from Roots forward would be the better solution to me, but eh...

The remake is a graphics update+ a new game to continue the story

If they're able to pull it off then it would be cool, but the only non-SE crossover we've had was Yokai Watch and that was only because friends with the producer of the game. Honestly I think the chances are pretty slim that we'll get another crossover with a non-SE game, especially since there were some players that hated it because the event "broke their immersion."

If we do get a crossover though it would be pretty weird and it probably wouldn't be anything deeper than the Lightning Returns event where Haseo finds himself magically inserted into the world of FFXIV and gameplay with him would be tied to FATEs where you would fight bugged enemies. Rewards would also probably be just Weapon Skins (Epitaph Weapon Skins, XD) along with more iconic skins such as the Chainsaw Sword and Haseo's starting daggers.

I think the FFXIV side of the PSO2 collaboration is still on the table, but it's been long enough that they may just hope the people that actually wanted that will forget. >_>

If this were able to happen even by a slim chance, it would only be for glamour items and probably make near to no mention of the series/franchise whatsoever (can't even have characters from the games appear, since that would imply FFXIV's world itself is just a game to a completely different franchise).
