Won't bother. This is a complete reboot of World V1, with the players once more controlling Kite. There is no Haseo and Sora is still a child brat that doesn't know that killing doesn't equal friendship.

Huh, not sure how I feel about that.

Then again iirc the last point in the series was Aura defragging herself in the form of an arena battle game after her thumbdrive was picked out of a lake by a more technopathic than normal guy after rescuing her from that one apocalypse cult. I have no memory what the state of the internet or whatever the latest version of the World was was.

Honestly, given everything that has happened since Dot Hack first came out, a reboot of the series is the smartest move instead of trying to explain World V3 and V4 and.... I have no idea about the canon state of what you described. I'm only sad that the reboot likely deletes the character my user name is stolen from.

Edit: Also, can you imagine trying to explain the old internet to people that only know the internet of Reddit and Imgur?

To be fair, in some games that would be. PvP is a perfectly legitimate manner of play after all. It's just manga and anime being weird about it.

But a reboot? Guess I don't have to wonder how Aura got an edgy phase in that trailer since then. And I don,t really have to look up what the fuck that timeline of events is after GU.

Wish they could have just changed the designs too, but I guess Kite and Black Rose's styles are too iconic for that.
