.hack//Link Website Goes Live [Updated]
Posted on: Jan 15 2009 by Kuukai | Discuss on BBS
edit 1/20: Today dothack.com is back up with a new look. The Japanese page has been rebuilt and now features Bandai's official site for the game, while the English site is still advertising G.U. A European Union link has been added but as of yet remains inactive.
edit: Higher-quality scans from a Chinese version of the article have been added (there is a blur present on all the scanned pages for some reason. E-mail dothackers if you've found higher quality images!). Click here to visit dothackers .hack//Link page to view the scans.
The countdown has finally ended, and .hack//Link has been officially announced! CyberConnect2 has created a website for the game, which opens with the following message:
Young boy,
Make sure to remember.
All the phenomena that envelop this world
Lie within your heart.
Even when something seems to be right before your eyes,
It exists inside you.
This world, made of ideas
Is nothing more than a shadow sprung from imagination.
Also included on the site is this message from Link's creators:
At long last we can tell you all about ".hack//Link"!
The title this time, "Link," holds a number of meanings.
One of these is that it is an "all-inclusive" work that links together all of the episodes of the .hack series up to now.
Another is that it is a story about "bonds," placing emphasis on your relationship with your companions.
These aren't just simple themes, they are deeply related to even the game's mechanics.
For the first time in the series' history, the hardware is PSP.
We want you to be able to enjoy the game fully, and play easily wherever you are.
Crammed within the tiny disc is all of our passion and knowledge and skill!
It should only be a short while before we can bring it to you.
Please have high expectations for it!
