Like most people here, I would've rather had the tetralogy first, but I still can't complain. This is practically half of everything I wanted, albeit in the wrong order.
As for the unfamiliar Haseo... Inb4 Sasuke cameo. |

Oops. Walked right in to that one, didn't I? 
I originally saw the announcement on another site that failed to mention the anniversaries. Dropped in here to throw in my two cents, but didn't bother re-reading what I thought I had all the details on. My bad.

That has nothing to do with anything and it isn't a given that PC games are region free, not all of them are.
Nope, it isn't that easy. We already know it'll feature new content which will need to be translated and most likely dubbed.
And yet they skipped over the last two .hack games stating that America had lost interest in the franchise, and nobody ever picked up .hack//The Movie. It's been five years since they last passed us over so maybe they've had a change of heart since then, but my skepticism isn't unfounded. Anyway, we have more info on what has been changed. This comes from Siliconera.
Edit: Just ocured to me that Haseo's unfamiliar look will probably be a Kirito costume from Sword Art Online. Last year in SAO: Code Register Kirito got a Haseo costume so it only makes sense that they'd flip it. Emerje |

I understand your skepticism, I'm from various .hack forums since the mid 2000s, so I know how rough it has been for this fanbase. But I have a good feeling about this one, and so does the whole community of .hack fans. There are many modern similar instances, think Sega's Valkyria Chronicles, which got the HD remake on PC and PS4 despite being a 2008 PS3 only game and the 3rd game never being localized (diff company but same story). The interview further states that they went with the remake to re-introduce new fans to this old series, it's a marketing tactic for their next game that they hinted at. Plus .hack has been featured in the Project-X-Zone games, so it's been showing up here and there in recent years. As for the new content, it appears to mostly be technical adjustments, we doubt it'll be new story. If we're lucky, they might add Black Rose as a post game party member since her data got cut from GU Vol 3 last minute (despite having the complete model and all). The community also thinks the 'new Haseo' will either be his manga design or a face reveal of the real player. That would be neat. Either way, I think we need to show interest in this. I will post on a bunch of forums and YouTube videos later in the summer so more people hear about this remake. I think the fanbase needs to show demand on Namco's social media so they're aware of people wanting this game. Wouldn't want another .hack//LINK to happen. |

It was already mentioned that the marriage system was expanded to all party members, that's new content that'll require translating text and dubbing new voices for the cut scenes.
They seem pretty specific about it being "unfamiliar". I'd argue that just rehashing a costume from the manga, movie, or light novels wouldn't be "unfamiliar" or "new". And we've seen Ryou's face many times in various places, though I suppose never in the games. Personally I want to see him in a Sora costume. Emerje |
