Sakaki is speaking in the third person again
Shaiapouf 02-May-22 09:23 PM
I will say, on that note I do think one of the interesting aspects about him being a 10 year old in real life is that I do think he has some real like...gap between his real self and how he imagines his online persona
21:23
He's not some 3rd grader. He is Sakaki, God of the World
21:23
that's probably why he talks about himself in third person. To him, Sakaki is an idea

it's one of the reasons I think Sakaki the 10 year old is also a good character, even if it doesn't really track with Sakaki the groomer
21:25
it's one of the things the series comes back to a lot, the idea that a kid on the internet can get to be anything, and they're usually gonna be pretty sociopathic, because kids are, frankly, kinda sociopathic.

I don't think .hack really understood the effect the internet would have on kids in a lot of ways. But you can see where they are coming from from a 2007 perspective

Shaiapouf 02-May-22 09:26 PM

21:26
Again I think a better written version of .hack would do more to play up Sakaki as a foil to Haseo's own past as Sora

I can actually do a bunch of these endings

I believe the remake gives you enough of the item you use to do all of them
21:39
(in fact, that's how I know the total number of characters playable in vol 3)

so I have some ideas of what you all will want to see

.....poor yata
Image attachment
21:45
we've talked a bit about Yata in the past, and he's not exactly a child, he's about 20 or so
21:46
but like, he very literally struggled a lot with getting offline and touching grass
21:46
He was really into soccer and wanted to go pro, before an injury took him out of it
21:46
He then made a lot of money basically in stocks and just kinda being Very Online
21:47
So this is kinda....who he is and how he conceives of himself
21:47
He's actually a bit younger than Pi, who I think is about 24, so it's kind of interesting that she thinks of him so highly and clearly has feelings for him
21:48
anyways

I definitely don’t disagree CatHerder, but at the same time what Shaia said is like, that’s a Whole Ass Masterpiece plot
22:07
you could do parallel structures with that
22:07
you could get shakespearian

Shakespeare is smart because he has two characters go through similar things and then at the end the play’s like “wow look at that” and that’s really all there is to it, ngl
