offtopic / .hack//Gay Undertones

it is very MMORPG

some quick explanation--there are three arenas for low, medium, and high level players respectively, and each one has an "emperor" basically just the reigning champion. Endrance is the Emperor of the Low Level arena

I mean if you're going to steal the heaven's arena why would you not take the part where there's a cool tower or something

00:37

I'm pretty sure Togashi did not invent this idea

High Level Emperor is displeased at Haseo being welcomed into the Super Elite Guild For Arena Kings

00:37

This extremely cool ass guy is okay with it though

Image attachment

dang

Image attachment

for real tho

Introducing Waifu of the Year 2007, Alkaid

00:39

Image attachment

Alkaid is awesome

Image attachment

00:39

Yeah she's cool

00:40

She was the emperor before Endrance beat her with his Avatar

cheater

yeah really

00:40

Alkaid is lucky she isn't in a coma after that

this is what it means to have a strong and powerful brain

00:41

I also would not go into a coma if you were to own me in the arena

Alkaid is...do you remember that Commedia Del'Anime joke I made?

00:41

It was about her

lmao

00:41

extremely solid joke

The purest Tsundere you've ever seen this side of Tohsaka

can't wait to see it

00:42

man given how strongly Asuka Langley Soryu apparently imprinted on me as a child

00:42

if I had grown up to be straight I would've been owned like a small dog by just the largest woman in Indiana (edited)

nods sagely

ah the dream.......

yes 2007 I was big into tsunderes. I'm not going to examine the implications too closely (edited)

thinkblush

as a sidebar I just wanna say

https://tenor.com/view/looks-like-you-got-everything-you-wanted-quintessa-swindell-tabitha-foster-trinkets-you-have-everything-gif-18416950

I was annoyed by THE CLOSE UP zone at first and how blatant it is

00:45

but honestly? These facial expressions are so good

oh no I love it

you would never see them in a modern bandai game

it really does work with the cel shading

00:46

wind waker does a nice job of that at points too imo

00:46

close ups are cool

00:46

show us the big anime faces

yeah Big Anime Faces are in

00:47

as an aside it is really wild how much of this first game is just a tournament arc

00:48

with detours ofc

OUT: Small Face Big Eyes, Big Anime Tiddies For Women IN: Big Anime Face, Big Anime Tiddies, Non-Gender-Specific

00:48

tournament arcs are easy

00:48

I respect the scriptwriter

Image attachment

00:48

Image attachment

00:49

Image attachment

this 4chan section is awfully polite

Haseo does not comment on this at all which is kind of a shame

00:51

also if you didn't watch the big 20 minute long anime episode that opens the game you can at least watch this cool fight scene that really sets the tone for everything. this one I do recommend highly, if you haven't seen it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHE-_TiYcUo

.Hack// G.U. Last Recode - Haseo vs Tri-Edge | 1080p60 HD

00:52

anyways gonna wrap up tonight with that mission Yata wanted me to go on to fight AIDA in the avatar form. Pi will come with

00:54

Pi does not like how blase haseo is being about all this, still

Image attachment

00:54

Image attachment

00:55

"if you fuck up you can end up in a coma yourself you dipshit"

00:55

Pi is an adult and I kinda feel for her having to deal with this angry teenager all the time

00:56

hmm. That seems. Abnormal

Image attachment

Shaiapouf

Pi is an adult and I kinda feel for her having to deal with this angry teenager all the time

big mood

00:56

yeah dang

Image attachment

00:57

Image attachment

lmao

00:57

Haseo: NO

ah yeah here we go

Image attachment

00:58

hope you like zone of the enders

00:58

because we're doing that now

welp

honestly I think the upgraded graphics for the remake really shine here

Image attachment

01:00

there are a lot of neat graphical details here

01:01

like every time an enemy attack hits me those freaky flat black dots appear

01:01

and every time I hit the enemy the graphics fizz out for a second

01:01

Image attachment

GIGA

01:02

DRILL

01:02

BREAKER

Image attachment

01:02

Image attachment

01:02

and we absorb the data from the bug

We do this a couple more times but then Pi gets word that something weird is happening and decides she's going to deal with the last trace of AIDA in the area herself

Image attachment

You got it Mami!

lol. such confidence

https://tenor.com/view/mami-tomoe-madoka-magica-anime-edit-gif-24795906

Image attachment

01:17

there are two other people here, who appear to be a mother and child who just finished and adeventure together

01:17

Image attachment

01:18

Pi jumps in front of them and gets hit with AIDA

Image attachment

01:18

01:19

Image attachment

oh man we're gonna go for the counter-mami

Image attachment

this game could use a flashing lights warning

it does in fact have one I think

01:23

Image attachment

01:23

Image attachment

01:23

Image attachment

01:23

man I

01:23

wish I could express how awkwardly her tits bounce as she falls down

01:23

lord

01:23

Image attachment

lmaooo

Image attachment

01:24

man I screenshotted like, the weirdest moment on his face

01:24

he looks so deadpan

01:24

he's really being quite emotive

man my lmao was ill-timed

01:24

I wanted to lmao at the titties

Image attachment

01:24

lol

01:25

oh right these two

Image attachment

01:25

anyways we make up some bullshit and tell them to get lost

01:26

anyways that battle to the death basically made Pi and Haseo friends

01:26

it's great tbh

01:29

okay, I think it's time to go to bed

classic shounen tradition

01:29

we love to see it

01:29

good night

Epitaph user fights are honestly very cool

01:30

you better believe we're gonna fight all of our friends before we're done here

I mean I wouldn't have it any other way~

I do like how Haseo is constantly motivated by like, protecting people, but whenever he actually does anything about it it's always in the most outwardly cocky edgelord way possible

01:34

it's a good bit of characterization

01:34

I understand why Yuri Lowenthal likes the character so much

it's just Squall with More Belts

01:35

and honestly he had Enough

He's a bit less passive than Squal though

01:35

he does get a few "whatever"s out tho

01:35

you're not WRONG in the comparison at all

I mean I am kidding around tho, it's pretty clear there are differences

01:36

/ squall's characterization is also a mess (edited)

I would say whatever other flaws are in the games writing, the character writing is very on point

01:38

Pi and Haseo fight so much because Pi is just an adult version of Haseo

01:38

teenage angst replace with the adult bitterness and exhaustion we all know and love

this is why I can't play MMORPGs

01:38

too easy for me to become an anime stock character (weary, embittered elderly gay player, lecherous type)

01:39

https://tenor.com/view/leeron-ron-littner-litner-anime-gif-6184552

(I'm actually mad about this)

Opening tonight with a new edition of "Somewhat Concerning E-mail From Atoli"

(unrelated but lol)

Shaiapouf

Opening tonight with a new edition of "Somewhat Concerning E-mail From Atoli"

Atoli: Haseo get over here, ~~you fucked up big time~~ we have concerns

Image attachment

16:45

I like to believe haseo is actually doing an emote here. (edited)

16:45

like /vexed

VR goggles noticed his brow furrowed and just /vexed automatically

Image attachment

/vexed

Atoli invited Pi to this roast I guess

Image attachment

16:47

Oh huh

Image attachment

16:47

Image attachment

16:47

Atoli is flailing her arms around wildly

16:48

anyways lets meet the leaders of Moon Tree

16:51

Moon Tree's base I think is suppose to have a chinese aesthetic

Image attachment

16:56

Atoli: Whatever it is just apologize so that the Council forgives you. Haseo:

Image attachment

16:56

"I literally have no idea what anyone here wants with me"

17:02

Image attachment

17:02

Surprise, fucker

Shaiapouf

oh right these two

In retrospect these two designs were way too unique to be some randos

lol

Image attachment

17:04

I like how they're all just standing on these anime ass platforms

Image attachment

17:04

Also Hi Sakaki

17:04

Honestly these guys make me think of nothing so much as like. The Soul Reapers from Bleach LMAO

17:05

same structure and terminology

17:05

just need vice captains

17:06

Haseo: Wait I thought you said I was in trouble.

Image attachment

17:07

Image attachment

17:07

Image attachment

17:07

Pi sends us a DM during this conversation

Image attachment

17:08

Apparently there is a power struggle between Sakaki and Zelkova within the guild

17:08

don't you just love MMO Free Company drama

guild drama

17:08

typical

Image attachment

17:08

I love the close ups during the DMs here

Image attachment

17:10

It's pretty clear among the four leaders here who is on Zelkova's side and who is on Sakaki's. Matsu is clearly Sakaki's attack dog.

Image attachment

17:10

Almost like the old skit for the "Obama Anger Translator"

17:11

anyways, he's our next opponent in the tournament, so this is all just pre-fight trash talk

17:14

If I recall correctly isn't Zelkova One of Yata's Alts?

17:17

anyways, the Gabi AMA from last time is still going. I love this guy

Image attachment

17:20

special shout out to Forums user ω Rice who opens every single post he makes on the internet like this

Image attachment

17:20

Butt-Rice

Image attachment

Something Atoli does for Moon Tree is apparently run uh..."Seminars"? in The World

Image attachment

17:28

You can respond to it

Image attachment

Atoli got Sakaki's permission to fight Matsu in the arena lol

Image attachment

18:24

Image attachment

18:25

Haseo is gettin kinda tired of Atoli saying Sakaki's name so much

Go to next part
