.HACK stuff

[Yuuki]

Epitaph of the Twilight.


Yet to return, the shadowed one.
Who quests for the Twilight Dragon
Rumbles the Dark Hearth,
And Helba, Queen of the Dark,
has finally raised her army.
Apeiron, King of Light beckons.
At the base of the rainbow they meet
Against the abominable Wave,
together they fight.
Alba's lake boils.
Light's great tree doth fall.
Power- now all to droplets turned
in the temple of Arche Koeln.
Returns to nothing,
this world of shadowless ones.
Never to return, the shadowless one,
Who quests for the Twilight Dragon.


"Welle"
Riding the Wave is Skeith, the Shadow of Death, to drown all that stands.
Mirage of Deceit, Innis, Betray all with the flawed image, and did aid the Wave.
And by the Power of Magus, a drop from the Wave doth reach the heavens, and creates a new Wave.
With the Wave, Fidchell, the power to tell the dark future, hope darkens, sadness and despair rule.
Gorre schemes when swallowed by the Cursed Wave.
Macha seduces with the sweet trap.
Wave reaches the Pinnacle, and escape none can. Tarvos still remains with more cruelty to punish and destroy.
And with the turbulent destruction after the Wave. Only a void remains. From deep within the void arrives Corbenik.


Fragment 0
Shunning the field broken by Wave.
The shadowed girl whispers,
"Surely, I will return."
Alas, the truth unbeknownst.
Awaiting her at journey's end;
Eternal mourning for her land.


Fragment 1
When the finger points to the
yonder moon,
The fool will not look at the fingertip.


Fragment 2
The whole cannot be changed.
We have already lost that chance.
Because the time left to us was short,
We were mistaken in our path.
But now do we realize,
We should change not the whole,
But the parts.


Fragment 3
Wave soars and shrouds the eyes.
No means to fight an omnipresent force,
The shadowless ones just grieve.
Why must it be a Wave?
Divide, if it would just...
Then retaliate, we may.


Fragment 4
Over the Keel Mountains,
Meets an ape with human speech.
The ape asks,
"What clings to you?
Bear it - you cannot.
Accept it - you cannot.
But hidden - it is from you.
Recite its name."

A magician wandered along the beach, but nobody needed him.

Umm... What're we meant to discuss in this? If it was a regular.hack topic, it would've been fine, but this is just confusing me. I think I'll just treat it like one.

I liked .hack quite a bit once and completed the first two games. Because of the rareness of the 3rd game I never got any further. I bought the Legend of the Twilight and some of the XXXX and GU+ mangas and a couple of light novels. I eventually got bored, however, because of the lack of stuff they release in the UK concerning it. They never seem to sell the 3rd or last releases... I'm not happy with it...

I don't get the whole "game was based on the Epitaph" thing though. Only the names seem to have any relevence to the game and plot of .hack. I don't get it...

(its wasnt suppost to be a discution but i don't mind)
as my interest with japan, i can't really specify "WHY" i like .hack, i guess because my favorate (self-created) story is based

on

around "The World:R2".
like ayako's character design being a purple version of atoli, and me kinda stealing haseo's 2nd form ><. mostly cas i can't draw my own
