.Hack//GU info

Ok, some info on .Hack//GU finally, I've been too lazy to post anything!

Haseo
Multi Weapon
http://www.dothackers.net/GUfinal/haseo+thumb.gif
An obsessive PKK, this incredibly skilled player smells of death. The incredible PKK feared in The World as "The Terror of Death". The protagonist of G.U., he has selected the special class of "Multiweapon". In order to avenge "a certain person", he is hunting the mysterious irregular character called "TriEdge". A lone wolf by nature, he is quick-witted, but he is also bad-tempered, and can snap at anyone. He usually keeps his cool, but at times he is easily provoked. Just what is his objective...?

Atoli
Harvest
http://www.dothackers.net/GUfinal/atolithumb.jpg
What does this idealistic girl see in The World? Atoli is the heroine of G.U. It seems that The World is the first net game she has played, and perhaps because of that, she expects a lot from it. While playing, she met Sakaki, who invited her to join "Moon Tree", the guild to which she now belongs. She seems to spend a lot of time with him. A Harvest with a gift for healing, she has a kind personality, which may be why she does not hesitate to contact even the antisocial Haseo, trying to help him.

Ovan
Steam Gunner
http://www.dothackers.net/GUfinal/ovanthumb.jpg
What is the hidden secret of his sealed left arm? This is the man who once reached out a hand to the PKed Haseo, and later worked with him. His left arm is sealed by some sort of large device, and cannot be seen. Judging from his words and actions, compared to the impulsive Haseo, he is more the type to approach things calmly. Why did the two of them part ways? And when they meet again, what does Ovan want with Haseo? What is the secret of his sealed arm? It seems that these mysteries may be the key to the story.

Kuhn
Steam Gunner
http://www.dothackers.net/GUfinal/kuhnthumb.jpg
The strong and flirtatious man who wishes for peace in The World. He seems cheerful and lighthearted, but his determination to preserve peace in The World is stronger than anyone's. He was once a member of the newbie help guild "Canard", and even now, he is admired by Silabus and Gaspard. What could have been the reason for a man like this to leave Canard? He seems to have played games like this for a fairly long time, and is quite skilled in combat, but as his flirtatious speech suggests, he does have a weakness for women. It is not unusual for this habit of his to get him in trouble.... How is it possible that with a personality like his, he ends up a friend of Haseo?

Pai
Grappler
http://www.dothackers.net/GUfinal/paithumb.jpg
Ally or enemy? This lady takes pride in beauty and strength. Pai may have the looks and proportions of a model, but her appearance isn't the only way in which she excels. With her quick wits, great strength, and eloquent speech, she truly seems to be a "fighting lady". After Haseo is data drained by TriEdge and reduced to a small, weak character, when he is about to be PKed again by Bordeaux, Pai is the one who saves him. Then, after commenting on the "dangerous power" hidden in Haseo's character, she leaves. What does she know?

Sakubo
Warlock
http://www.dothackers.net/GUfinal/sakubothumb.jpg
An ever-changing odd PC. Assertive Saku who speaks in Kansai-ben, and timid, quiet Bo. Completely opposite expressions. This is the character known as Sakubo. The character has only one name, but it seems likely that two people are sharing it. Under what conditions do the two of them switch? The sudden personality change can stun even Haseo.... From conversations, it can be guessed that Saku is chasing Endrance, with Bo being dragged along.

Yata
Dance Macabre
http://www.dothackers.net/GUfinal/yatathumb.jpg
The mysterious guildmaster waiting for Haseo at the "Serpent of Knowledge". At this time, he is the most mysterious character. With sunglasses and a large, muscular body, this mystery man gives off an odd aura of presence. He seems to have been waiting for Haseo to come to a place called the "Serpent of Knowledge", but his purpose is unknown. What does he want with Haseo? And what is the role of the "Serpent of Knowledge"? His calm, logical speech leads one to believe he is an intellectual, but no one knows what lies behind his exterior. By meeting him, what will Haseo gain?

Endrance (Now we know the Endrance is a GUY!)
Blade
http://www.dothackers.net/GUfinal/endrancethumb.jpg
Is the pursuit of strength his only goal in The World? This elegant Blade user carries a long, slender sword. His graceful swordsmanship is unmatched, and his ability is acknowleged as superior even by the powerful players of The World. However, possibly because of his pursuit of strength, he shows little interest in other people, and his handsome face can give an impression of coldness. He only ever shows emotion towards the small cat that rides on his shoulder. What goal is he working towards...? There are still many mysteries about this character.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In 2015, a fire at the main CC Corp. building resulted in the loss of a lot of data, and The World was forced to shut down. By splicing in data from what would have been another game, CC Corp was able to rebuild the game system. The next year, "The World R:2" was released, but many old players objected because they were unable to bring over their old characters. However, many new users were drawn in by the new style, and over 12 million copies were sold. Though not a match for the previous version's 20 million users, it became the top-selling netgame on the market. (Might how Tri-Edge was born)

A lot of story. If you need help on Infection (part 1) or Mutation (part 2), just ask here! I can help you. BTW, yeah, they sorta have a storyline in common. You'll understand it when you play the game.

Yay!!! A new .hack anime for me to watch!! (Even though I still have to catch up with .hack//Sign and .hack//Legend of the Twilight...) The GFX on .hack//GU look good, so I'll buy it.. This gives me enough time to beat at least .hack//Mutation and .hack//Outbreak, and maybe half of .hack//Quarantine before it comes out...

[MORSN417]

The release date is Septemeber 6, 2006...for America. So I don't know about everywhere else.
