Witch Chat - .hack//Gay Undertones

something that someone pointed out to me that I don't think I fully grocked

23:24

Wiseman's actual issue here, what he's talking aroun

23:24

isn't that he's jealous of Ovan exactly

23:24

He's jealous of the main character of the first games, Kite

23:25

who not ONLY was beloved by Aura and gifted a number of unique abilities

23:25

but he also is still playing soccer

23:26

and was able to get away from the world

23:26

unlike Yata, who as I said before, was injured

.hack characters transposing trauma onto other people, classic

Shaiapouf

but he also is still playing soccer

....

Yata stayed behind, and remained dedicated to The World

23:26

unlike Kite and Aura, who left

23:26

so when the new crisis came, who is the leader of the task force to resolve it?

23:26

the way Kite was?

23:26

It's Yata

23:26

This was supposed to be his chance

23:27

It's honestly really sad

they're all full of Issues

23:28

23:30

23:31

23:32

23:33

and we finally get him

23:33

such a fitting yatapose

23:35

and thier little lives

23:35

as you have probably gathered, Fidchell's whole thing is giving a prophecy when it dies

23:37

23:38

oh man I screwed up the screen cap

fidchell, really gotta look for a new job there

but we enter the close up zone for Pi to straight up slap him

23:39

he's got a good face for it

perfect

aw, that means the next scene isn't - oh thank god

is it an addition to the yatamorphs pic

23:39

23:40

he deserved all of that

.hack//G.U. Last Recode - Vol.3 Redemption Part 8: Boss: Epitaph Fi...

23:41

this is the slap

23:42

I found it online

23:42

should timestamp to it

damn, sad I closed yatamorphs, that would have been a good start to it (edited)

I am glad I kinda dug up all the stuff about Yata because I really do think once you understand he is talking about Kite his whole speech goes from kinda incoherent to legit really sad. Why, even now, after all the hard work he's done, is he still not the protagonist? That said, he's really gotta get it together because he IS being a real sad sack and wallowing in self pity won't do anyone any good

23:44

so yeah go Pi

23:44

slap him

23:44

23:45

we'll stop there

23:47

Well, that was a lot of update

thank you for it tho

it was good!

23:48

....you know, even though Haseo Shouldn't Be Handling It, I'm a little impressed in how Saku/Bo was done, psychology-wise.

it's very anime but thematically it really is just a simplified version of the kanon/shannon thing

nod Yeah.

I also do like digging through these characters and parsing through the lore for deeper subtext that's easy to miss

23:51

it makes a lot of characters really pop

23:51

you can argue that like, this is a bad way to write a story

23:51

cause it is

23:51

but at the same time it makes it a fun game to LP lmao

Okay I didn't intend to wait so long between updates but time just go away from me

17:16

TONIGHT we will return to the world

Would you say time outside The World got away from you

It’s okay to log off

Truely that is the question possed by .hack

18:41

to log off, or not log off

Never log off

okay so, last time on .hack: a lot of shit happened

22:57

Sakaki is out of play, Yata is humbled, Saku is having a real one, and Ovan is uh, ovan

22:58

first off, an interesting thread on the forums

22:58

I wonder what anime is being referenced there

22:58

...wolf's rain? (edited)

22:58

22:59

this is all summarizing some stuff from the previous game--the netslums and thier queen, Helba

23:00

Helba, as it happens, was yata's old partner as a hacker

23:00

It's unclear if they're still in communication

it looks like wolf's rain, as a note, but I haven't watched it so can't confirm

A, I guess I remembered it correctly

23:01

It was airing on TV at more or less the time so kind of hilarious for this random 2017 person to bring it up since I don't know anyone has thought about that show in a decade

looks like original air date was 2003

look at this guys himbo OC lmao

the fact that "in" and "The World" are the only things not in allcaps disturbs me

anyways, email time

23:04

Thanks CC corp.

23:05

We're just gonna...get past the whole "you hired an insane 10 year old in a fit of pique" I guess

time to read the yatamail

There are in fact 2 e-mails.

23:05

this first one mostly summarizes what we know already

the Epitaph of Rebirth (edited)

though, notably, Yata seems to be acting less coldly to us

23:08

So, now that they've all been brought up, allow me to quickly recap, since I know it's easy to lose track Phase 1: Skeith, The Terror of Death (Haseo) Phase 2: Innis, The Mirage of Deceit (Atoli) Phase 3: Magus, The Propogation (Kuhn) Phase 4: Fidchell, The Prophet (Yata) Phase 5: Gorre, the Machinator (Sakubo) Phase 6: Macha, the Temptress (Endrance) Phase 7: Tarvos, the Avenger (Pi) Phase 8: Corbenik, the Rebirth (Ovan)

23:09

From each title you can kinda get a sense of what abilities and abilities each phase imparts, though some much moreso than others

the 'of's just get dropped real fast, huh

lol
