Alright guys, I'm here to clear up a bit of confusion running around /cm/ concerning .hack//G.U., and the entire rumour that Haseo is Sora.

It's very simple to push this aside as just some random fan wanting to start a bit of commotion, and mind you, the idea of Sora as Haseo does seem awesome - but its not true.

Their ages don't match up. .hack//SIGN took place in 2005 when Sora was ten, and .hack//G.U. takes place in 2017 where Haseo is 17. That means that Sora should AT LEAST be in his twenties while G.U. is going on, while Haseo is still in his teens.

So Haseo=/=Sora. End of discussion.
Other users reading this, pay no heed. And while were here, .hack yaoi thread plz.

Where exactly did it say that .hack\\SIGN takes place in 2005? As far as I know, it took place 2010.
In any case, Ryou Misaki is the player behind Haseo and Sora. It's been stated in the Perfect Guidebook.

...so what about that rumor I've heard that Endrance is Elk?

.hack//sign was 7 years before //g.u. Sora could have been anywhere between 8 to 10.

Oh, and also: http://www.dothackers.net

It's still not confirmed, but TONS of evidence poits to Haseo=Sora. Lurk moar.

>>274376
His AIDA being named Mia, the physical appearance, his OSESSION over Mia? Yeah, I'd say he's elk, but again, nothings confirmed until that nice little book with 'what happened to everyone' in it comes out.

Pics or it didn't happen.
I'm still skeptical.
Though split, because it would be awesome to think "YOSH! I'M PLAYING AS SORA!"
Because he was underloved in SIGN. D:

The 3rd game confirms Haseo's player is the same as Sora's. He simply has amnesia.

Actually, the year 2005 refers to the PLUTO'S KISS virus that shuts down the global internet network. THE WORLD doesn't even exist until 2007, and when I say 2007, it's more like December 2007. It doesn't say exactly when the events in .hack//SIGN start, from my research, but given the information from when the .hack//games start, you can assume that it would be closer to 2010, along with Kite's epics. Especially since it's Kite that lets him out. He wouldn't be in a coma for five years, you would hope.

Thus, any events or rumors that spur in the G.U. games are still, for the most part, logical and most likely canon. Haseo can still = Sora.

That being said, after contemplating and confirming that Haseo can still fit within the timeline, and filtering around dothackers.net (which is going through... something...?), it's slowly fitting into what Endrance/Elk's case is right now with rumors. At least, for anyone not in Japan. It's like applying Schrodinger's theories to a game. :|

The picture I'm attatching is claiming to confirm that Haseo=Sora, and that he was data-drained by Skeith in R:1. I can't be sure; my kanji is very rusty. BUT, I can tell you that, at the top, it has Misaki Ryou's name (Sora's player) and something about being involved in R:2.

That's all the proof that exists until the third game comes out.

I think I remember the data drain at the end of SIGN. It's a possibility, but it does ruin the game a lot.

It all started because of one nub who went around to all the .hack threads a few days ago spitting this out and attaching "I got it ruined for myself, so now I want to ruin it for everyone else too". Blah, pissed me off.

Actually, it wouldn't be the data drain at the end of SIGN, because that was Morganna's deal. What brings the Sora/Haseo connection into question isn't so much "is he old enough" as it is if ".hack//ZERO" is canon (a discontinued book series that had Sora later data drained by Skeith), or if the Sora in the .hack//games that can join you is actually Sora, or if it's an AI.

Also: there's another possibility that the real person behind Sora was the one who introduced Haseo to the game in the first place, but that's another complicated mess.

I know the person you're talking about, actually; I promise you that they probably were just as upset about it and felt it ruined the game, too.

Then that DOES bring up a big mess, right alongside the Elk/Endrance suspicion. But I've never read .hack//ZERO, and why was it considered "not canon"? Wasn't that the novel that happened after the games and SIGN?
(That being said, then what year does TWILIGHT BRACELET fit into this? By then, the dot hackers were pretty popular and well-known. o.O)

//ZERO was discontinued after the first novel, most likely because of continuity issues, it's suggested. If we were to take out the series due to those issues, then Sora would have never been data-drained by Skeith.

//LotTB takes place not-so-long after //games. I'm pretty sure about 6 months or so after. They were pretty well-known by that time rumor-wise, thus all the problems yadda.

As I said, it's like Schrodinger's theory - this problem that exists has two possible outcomes, and we won't know until we play the third game.

Time to end this thread - and this discussion - with some SilAbuse.
