1:21:21Ain't no way YYH is being counted as an isekai....he doesn't go to another world
1:21:23The worldbuilding in those games are INSANE
1:21:28Oh Fujoshi Miki is paying attention now
1:21:28modern isekai is just alt flavored battle academy harem of the early 2000s
1:21:50My love for .hack was for BL, lmao
1:21:57the .hack to maplestory pipeline
1:21:58i was kinda disappointed w sao because it wasn't like dot hack
1:21:59characters playing an MMO that starts affecting IRL
1:22:07god i also was in that phase of looking for .hack-like mmo
1:22:17oh yeah what was your Toontown character then migi
1:22:22Bro... Says Board Games and all I see are Cartas!
1:22:24y'know the original .hack games are getting a reimagining.
1:22:26.hack is more chuuni so ofc miki likes it more
1:22:27It's what SAO desperately wants to be
1:22:32SAO was actually inspired by .hack from what the author said
1:22:35there wasn't an overpowered protag like SAO. theres a lot of world building of the MMO and the real life
1:22:36They had an actual MMO for a bit yeah
1:22:48They used the PS2 games as a base
1:22:52Fun fact SAO's light novel came out lile 6 months after .Hack released. It just took forever to get an anime.
1:23:09.hack//fragment is technically an official .hack MMO but it was very janky yeah
