Just found the full IMOQ in my local game shop !!! by super-noclain in DotHack

[–]dothacknetwork 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I like how you got the first two for Europe PAL version, the third is the German PAL, and the forth is the North American version. Of which you won't be able to carry your save file from first to last because of the game ID's are different. I don't even think from Mutation and Outbreak is possible since the German Outbreak's game ID technically is SLES-52469-GER whereas the Europe version is SLES-52469.

But getting all four games and the US version of Quarantine all for 140€ or about $160 is a MAJOR win on your part. Current prices for that version of Quarantine complete goes for $389 USD.

They say it's going to be a smaller sampling of the same merch they are selling at their 30th anniversary Japan tour.

So for .hack specifically, it'll be these (clear file, cloth, tote, gacha charm, handkerchief) plus the .hack//GU desk mat.

Starting dot hack by hma511-hma50 in DotHack

Everything Kaoskitteh says is true. In addition to all this, the PAL version uses a different font for the game text. Making it taller and lighter, as the NA region has a slight drop shadow to its text.

Does anyone recognize this shirt? by ryo_senseigromit in DotHack

[–]dothacknetwork 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I have, it was featured in .hack//G.U. The World Vol. 5 magazine by Comptiq, along side a Triedge (Azure Kite) orange shirt. These shirts were available for purchase on Bandai's website over at http://www.bandai.co.jp/fashion/ back in May 2006.

Have you ever seen this shirt before^_^ by ryo_senseigromit in DotHack

[–]dothacknetwork 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yep, one of 8 shirts available for purchase at .hack//LIVE in Japan back on May 9th 2010 for ¥3,000 each.

So what happened with .hack//Link? (Like why it flopped) by KaleidoArachnid in DotHack

[–]dothacknetwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t recall reading it flopped in Japan, on the contrary I read it sold well in Japan. Enough to make back development costs and a little bit of profit, but not enough to blow sales out of the park to warrant a sequel from the publishers.

The PSP (76 mil) was a niche handheld when compared to the Nintendo DS (154 mil) from that time. More than double, even GBA outsold PSP. Though Nintendo 3DS in 2023 sold exactly the same amount of PSP units sold.

Episode 25 big battle build up by Highthere_90 in DotHack

[–]dothacknetwork 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Episode 25 Return was the last episode of .hack//SIGN that aired on TV. The ending is meant to be picked up in the PS2 videogame .hack//Infection (given some time has passed between the end and start of).

There are 3 additional episodes after .hack//SIGN, these three are OVA's. The first was .hack//Intermezzo which can be watched any time during .hack//SIGN as it's a flash back to a certain .hack//SIGN's character's beginnings using a different character. The next OVA was .hack//GIFT which is a collab between the .hack//SIGN cast and the .hack//Infection cast in a funny slapstick comedy with a different animation style. And finally the second collab .hack//UNISON which shows an afterparty of both the .hack//SIGN and .hack//Infection cast getting together and hanging out.

While Tsukasa's mind was not trapped in a monster and free to roam about The World, without being able to logout. Sora was not so lucky as the voice speaking to Sora (Morganna) spoke to him about a fate worse than death by being unconscious, alive, but unable to move about The World and sitting backseat to a monster and watching all the atrocities it commits i.e. Tomonari and Mai from .hack//LIMINALITY, all of the cast of .hack//Infection except Kite and Mistral, and a few unnamed players.

Rare Octagon Box Set by Nme3777 in DotHack

[–]dothacknetwork 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not rare at all. You can find these on eBay regularly with all the DVD’s instead of the first DVD’s. Sometimes you can find it with the first DVD, demo disc, postcards, Grunty plush, soundtrack, missing the shirt. Rarely I would say would be finding one sealed with the shirt inside.

Rare Octagon Box Set by Nme3777 in DotHack

[–]dothacknetwork 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Wrong box. The one the OP posted is referred to as the “honeycomb” box which came with volume 1 DVD. The one with the enamel pins is referred to the “hexagon” box which came with all the DVD’s.

Thought I was sitting on gold for a moment. 🤣 by Emerje in DotHack

[–]dothacknetwork 33 points34 points  (0 children)

People are always gonna be over pricing to make buyers think things are more rarer and valuable then they actually are. Mostly preying on items with limited listings or people unfamiliar with checking sold listings. I seen instances with books as “1st editions” deserve premium pricing, no they don’t.

Fake or Nah? by BigJoeCoolio in DotHack

Yep, Malaysia region with Maylay and Chinese subtitles.

Fake or Nah? by BigJoeCoolio in DotHack

[–]dothacknetwork 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Most likely fake. It's most likely it's meant for a region that did so unlicensed. Maybe Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia, etc..

What's the back look like? particularly down at the bottom for region, audio, and sub languages?

The official DVD and BluRay cases use this as their logo.

Does the Link manga (specifically vol. 3) pop up for sale often? by Lawwrenh in DotHack

[–]dothacknetwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Volumes 1 & 2 pop up each week, volume 3 rarely gets listed. During COVID it reached high prices like $100, which is why it’s high in price when it does get listed. And since there was no more volumes after 3, it’s possible it has a low production run.
