thats correct. that was the first scene in the original series, see the terminal disc is also made to help ppl who have never played the original game catch up to in events leading to G.U.

yea, that anonymous comment was from me, ok

... could you be more specific about what you find wrong? my only guess is you're referencing skeith's wand where it appears to be a cross vs the more commonly known line with a Q in it. I don't know if the Japanese version actually was a cross or not, but considering the heavy christian cultural influence in america, you can bet they had to change it in order to not recieve a slew of complaints. ... sooo no idea. sorry :/...

Oh, I know that it was originaly a cross in the games. If you look closely. Both are shown.

Its funny lookin'

It's a heart beat, showing that Kite's worried, and that danger is afoot. It's been in a lot of games.

i know that this is of topic but i really need to know

that DO YOU NEED TO LIVE IN THE US TO GET THE SE HACK GU VOL 1 ?

or CAN IT BE DELEVERED TO CITYS AROUND THE WORLD ?

i jest really want to know the trouth :(

i dont care about money
money is no problim for me

you can import it from play-asia.com

can i get the se hack gu from play-asia are you sure

i want the terminal disk T_T

most likely you will not get the terminal disk
I hear even people in canada are having trouble getting it
most likely you'll have to wait till it is released in your respective area

try ebay and if it says it has it or you can email them to cheack

Shuhei's right, I heard a couple of EBgames in Ottawa got it, here in Quebec we didnt get so lucky, wasnt even listed in their system. However it was still possible to have it delivered by ordering it from their online store, it seems to be still available on their website too.

UH.. Sorry... what is a terminal disk? xD Coz i dun think i remember that scene exept for the game of .hack, the begining of each game...

@Skeith The Terror Of Death: in the japanese version it was an extra video disk which came with the game
in the US release it was only given to those who preordered it

It recaps the first four games and tells about Project G.U. and the fire at CC Corp

not really important but its interesting

oh... too bad i didn;t preorder :'( i would have loved to have a little CD that says OH LOOK! I preordered the game! xD 

It is a oopsie on them for the terminal disk.

In the Japanese version of Infection, Skeith's staff is a Celtic Cross.  In the American Version, it is a Q on a staff, which is probably due to today's stupid political correctness (OMFG A CROSS IN A GAME!! CENSOR NOW!).  They just used pieces from both video streams.

but, i heard that the english version had the cross, because the anime had the q, and also the terminal disk was supposed to be available at all ebgames and gamestop locations, but for$10 more in US...they seem to have changed their mind though...

they didn't change their minds it was lmt. ed. so it sold out

I have one so I'm lucky bought mine on the same day it came into the store too.

what is on the disc and is sombody able to make an iso of it and then make it into a torrent.

sorry question answered um,   my next big question does anyone have a mp3 of "first login" the CD drama that was prequil to .hack// roots?  if you could help me that would be greatly appreciated, as i live in New Zealand we dont get these things, we just get all the main stream stuff.  thank you for the help email me at
jaye.stothers@gmail.com

To my knowledge there is no "First login" drama though there are these

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-9x-77-14-49-en-15-hack-70-1hzw.html

Though they're not much help unless you speak japanese, these things are never translated

well i came accros them on the .hack wiki. http://dothack.wikia.com/wiki/.hack//Wiki

here is the first one "lets meet ofline"
http://dothack.wikia.com/wiki/Legend_of_the_Twilight#Let.27s_Meet_Offlin...
and her is the second "first login".
http://dothack.wikia.com/wiki/First_Login

so the do excist but i canot find them. in mp3 or on cd

oh let's meet offline is on boxtorrents i think
I saw it a year or two back so here's a little summary just in case you can't find it
Shugogumi is waiting in Mac Anu for Hotaru
After a while Hotaru appears franticly asking for help
It seems he(yes HE) and Sanjuro are from a small American town(Sanjuro is a volenteer Japanese teacher and Hotaru is one of his students) who have just arrived in Japan
But Hotaru got sepperated from Sanjuro-san(In Shibuya no less, YOUR SCREWED) and he doesn't know kanji!!(ooo shit)
He somehow made it to a Internet Cafe but since Sanjuro has his lugage he doesn't have a wallet so he can't leave
So it's up to Shugogumi to search every internet cafe in the shibuya area(not an easy task) for him before the place closes and he gets arrested
After a few places Shugo goes into a cafe and goes to the bathroom and bumps into a timid gaijin boy
When he comes out he hears a small 3 year old girl(Mirrelle)yelling his name being lead and accosted for yelling at a stranger by a college student(Ouka(unfortuantly not as busty as in game) who tutors Mirrelle who is a child prodigy)
After that they figure out that the timid gaijin was hotaru
They meet up with Rena and Sanjuro and all ends well

Unfortuantly since its an audio drama you don't to get to see any of it

First Login isn't really a prequil just a compilation of the time period in which haseo logs in

@Shuhei: I have seen a subbed version of this.

@Exotahu: yes I believe that the sub is the one on boxtorrents but it also seems like boxtorrents is down at the moment

@Shuhei: I know! wtf is up with that!??? anyway, still can't get over how the game and the anime roughly overlap. I mean, seriously, they make it seem he meets atoli in anime, which is TOTALLY NOT TRUE!@!>>> blargg. I dunno, it frustrates me because this is an anime where you fill in gaps, not try to fix overlapping tracks!!!.

@Shuhei: Completely wrong, if you have the chance to see it, do so, it will tell you ALOT, xD I believe there's a topic here that showed you the link to youtube where you could see it, haven't bothered reading the other posts, but it's really important in knowing what's really going on.

@Shuhei: "@Skeith The Terror Of Death: in the japanese version it was an extra video disk which came with the game
in the US release it was only given to those who preordered it

It recaps the first four games and tells about Project G.U. and the fire at CC Corp

That's not true, EB Games sold ONLY that boxed version.  At least in Kentucky.  Because I never got around to pre-ordering it because...well I lost track of time and forgot to xD  But I still got the terminal disk when I bought it in store at EB Games...

Crucifixtion! Bye Orca. :D

@Krizzle: Well, for the english version i would not say crucifixion, i would sau q-cifixion >_>
