WTF? Source? >_>
Is there a release date for Europe confirmed?
The second anyone gets info, tell us. Thanks. user:EEVEE103 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.50.173.132 ( talk) 15:53, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
Sure, Tri-Edge may look like a normal Twin Blade, but there has been no confirmation whatsoever as to his class. Atoli and Sakubo appear to be Wavemasters, but they clearly are not. Same goes for Endrance, who wields a sword and could be classified as a Blademaster yet in the The World of 2017 he is a "Blade." We don't even know if the Twin Blade class even exists in 2017. We don't even know if Tri-Edge is an actual player or an AI! Therefore, I am leaving his class as ??? for the time being. Soulsteelgray 01:03, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
Hey, think maybe we could get some pictures on this article?
I noticed that in the credits of the Project GU prototype video, the name Sadamoto Yoshiyuki is listed as art supervisor. But in later trailers, his name has vanished from credits section. There is quite a good deal of the disappearance of the anime look in characters despite their near (80-90%) resemblance between the proto and final characters. Any info regarding these?
If you read the Interim Reports on the End of the World disk that comes with the game, it mentions something about the first attempt to ressurect Aura after she left destroyed 80 percent of the world, and there was even a day when all the players logged on the last day of the world. The fire was only used as a coverup, but it actually did happen and did destroy the CC building.
Do you think any person who has played all three volumes can put a gameplay mechanics section, both basic and advanced, from all three games? Such examples include Lost Weapons, Bike Customization, Party Attacks, Root Towns, and most of all this marriage involving Haseo and several other characters. That point right there is the most puzzling.
I'd like to see this article cleaned up and talk more about the games themselves rather than act as a list of spoilers for the story. For this, I wish to make the following proposals:
- Create a seperate article for .Hack//GU characters. The list seems extensive enough to warrent its own article while expanding on minor characters. I suggest making a small list of essential characters (without spoilers) and link to the seperate character article that contains spoilers. This includes bosses.
- The revamp with a story synopsis section. Try to compress all the spoilers of the article into this one section.
- Expand on gameplay and features the game offers. For example, describe what the game's combat system is like, what the gameplay consists of, and mention the extra features such as the game's community boards and mini games. Also mention what new features are available in each game.
- Development section, if any information is available of the game's development cycle.
- Reception section of each game that gives a summary of what critics said about the games. Remember to be objective and only cite the opinions of those critics, not giving your own.
- Look at articles of other games and try to match their standards and quality.
one person doesn't have to do all this. It would be nice if someone just created the basic structure of all this and the rest follow through to add more details. 137.155.128.28 22:04, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
It is really necessary to include the major bosses in the game? It just seems like pointless spoiler information to me. 70.186.213.167 16:48, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
- I agree, i dont really see a point in putting down bosses in the game, it doesin't have anything to offer information wise aside from spoilers. Zombongo 00:14, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
There are a few things i'd like to discuss about the information about the artical.
1. i believe the importent bosses section does not hold any relevent information towards the artical. listing what the final bosses are in each of the games is well... just kinda stupid and full of spoilers.
2. the issue regarding what classes the Azure knights are is a bit of a strange subject. in game their job class are listed as "???" yet its painfully obvious what job class they really are. take Kite for example. he uses all the skills a Twin blade has, as well as the same weapons and armor a twin blade uses. it is my theory that their class information is listed as "???" because of their corrupted status and the fact that aura created them diffrently then a normal player would creat a PC, therefor making them unreconizable to "the worlds" system.
lastly, i believe the Characters section of the artical needs to be cleaned up. for starters Cubia isin't really a character and despite being the final boss of the series, actually playes a somewhat minor role in the story as he only appears at the very end of Volume 3 where as AIDA is the actual main cause of problems throughout most of the series.
it also might be a good idea to split the Characters section into 'major' and 'minor' Characters. for example. Hiiragi, Sophora, Asta, IYOTEN Grein etc etc. play a very minor role in the whole series, take Asta and IYOTEN, they teach Haseo how to play when he first starts, then PKs him and their never heard from again untill sometime in volume 3 where even then they have a very minor role.
I hope you guys find these suggestions helpful Zombongo 03:30, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
Should we discuss how this series is worst than the others? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.118.77.8 ( talk) 02:27, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
There's nothing on Wikipedia at all that mentions Trilogy, the film based on the G.U. line of games. This should probably be added. 67.212.63.252 ( talk) 01:18, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

I've been thinking about turning this article into ".hack//G.U vol.1 Rebirth". the article is way too long to cover 3 games, and it would be much easier to cover just one. Bread Ninja ( talk) 16:35, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
With these edits ( 1 2) Axem Titanium ( talk · contribs) removed a reference I had added earlier. I hope more users give me so little cause to complain when they remove references. That said I still think this reference may be of use so I am leaving it here.
Happy editing. – allen四 names 15:44, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
The word "via" isn't a common-use word, so i replaced it "by ways of" since it's the closest thing there is, but other alterations were done.
i also replaced the description of .hack//G.U. Trilogy due to it begin vague (numerous liberties with the story doesn't really give a solid image), with the it's release dates, but unfortunately it was removed and apparently false statements. as for .hack roots, .hack//G.U. acts as the main starting point with .hack roots as it's prequel, and it was also added in special features with the game. Bread Ninja ( talk) 19:26, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
If this doesn't convince you there is also anime news network confirming them as prequels. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=605 for .hack//sign and http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/press-release/2006-11-06/.hack-roots-premiere-on-cartoon-network for .hack//roots. Bread Ninja ( talk) 20:04, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
Either way, that's original research. Anime news network confirmed it was a prequel and i doubt they called it prequel for the same reason you think they did... this is very similar to the .hack//link situation. the manga was released before but itself confirms the adaptation. CyberConnect2 most likely confirmed it as a prequel. either we have verification now, so no use arguing. unless you want to argue whether anime news network is unreliable at this point. then if you do here are some more links [1], [2]. Prequel is now more or less used as when they make a series about the past (regardless of release) based on another work. basically, if it was based off of one, it's considered a prequel. Bread Ninja ( talk) 18:31, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
and like i've said...it's not whether or not the definitions of prequel can fit into .hack//roots situation, it's whether you will let it ornot. like you've said this is more of a "want" then anything else. Bread Ninja ( talk) 00:48, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

@ Tintor2 and Iftekharahmed96: Tintor2 has contested the page move of this series article to the name of the first game/episode. Please discuss the move and/or split effort before proceeding. -- ferret ( talk) 23:14, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
Seriously? well that changes everything for me. I was under the assumption that it was just a video game article and not a series article due to the video game article template used. If I knew about this earlier, I wouldn't have split the article into the different games. Iftekharahmed96 ( talk) 13:39, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
I've rolled back the removal of the cover art. It was made with no discussion and no notes in the edit summary. If you'd like to change the image to an icon instead, please discuss it here before making the edit. Thanks. -- Kraftlos ( Talk | Contrib) 10:03, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
"Fair enough. I have an alternate consideration, should we make the .hack//G.U. page a series page as opposed to a video game page? .hack//G.U. has enough media and content to warrant it? Iftekharahmed96 ( talk) 12:52, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
Even though a standalone page has been created for .hack//G.U. Last Recode, I believe that a consensus from the community moderating this page is best off in deciding as to whether it should be part of the .hack//G.U. article or stay as is. Thoughts? Iftekharahmed96 ( talk) 14:45, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
Why does the image need to be changed in the first place? its not outdated at all, it was the debut promotional image for the remaster trilogy. It highlights all the key characters. If I were you, I'd focus on updating .hack//G.U. Last Recode. That's the page that needs some bulking up, the remaster has already been released. Iftekharahmed96 ( talk) 20:26, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
