.hack// is a series of four games. The same story continues over all four games, so you would have to play all four to get the whole story. You play as someone who is playing a MMORPG (a little confusing, you don't actually interact with other real people, the game just simulates the MMO experience). A computer virus causes strange things to happen in the real world and game world.

I never played it personally, but I had a friend who did. He is a completist, so he played through all four games. He said it was the worst gaming experience he had every had in his life. He was actually hoping that something would happen to his save file so that he could have an excuse to himself to quit playing.

He said that the concept is interesting, but the game just isn't fun. By the way, this person is someone who plays WoW, so he likes MMOs.  He also put in over 200 hours into FFX and loved that game.

I did play Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles. I would not recommend it. It is not like a regular RPG at all. Does not even come close to living up to the FF name in my opinion.
