Hey everybody. So I love SAO and just purchased Re:Hollow Fragment (my first SAO game). I understand it's the first game in the SAO gameverse. I started playing for about an hour but I'm completely confused here.

The information dump was insane, and I have no clue what I'm doing in this game. I understand that there's two stories, the Aincrad story and the Hollow Area story. I understand that there are girls (assuming it's the main cast of Kirito's crew) and that there's a whole relationship system.

Can someone either explain the premise of the game or link a guide? Google is really not helpful.

I need to kind of understand the basics of the gane but I'm confused as hell. Do I do Aincrad first or Hollow Area first? Do I do them both?

How do I max relationships? What cutscenes are there supposed to be? Is it similar to a visual novel?

Then we get to the weapons and the skill trees and everything and there's so much going on that I have no clue where to start!

Guides would be extremely helpful please!

I have completed the game making sure to do all events as they pop up as the trophy guide suggests. But now I’m missing 47 on the CG for Strea. Guide doesn’t even mention this one… but I needed to IGNORE an event just to get this? Is there any other way to get this trophy without literally playing the whole game again? If so this is terrible game design. The game trains you to complete everything as it comes available just to bait and switch you at the end!?

I just came back from alvl 300 acc so im not new but i got a new acc and ps4 so i was wo dering if anyine would help a lvl grind abit

I’m really trying to get more into pvp again actual ppl,

So I'm about to finish floor 92 and I know Strea will become unavailable very soon so I wanted to get any of her missable cgs for the gallery trophy I know one of them involves not saving her and beating floor 100 but are there any others I need to know about

So as I'm going through I'm trying to level all weapon proficiencies and I vaguely remember from what I learned back on the vita version that buffing attack speed and extra auto attacks is the way to go but there's something odd about the attack speed buffs sometimes it works like it should and I'm zooming through the animation at light speed but other times he just does it at a normal speed and I have no idea what is causing the differences so basically is this just some sort of glitch or a mechanic I'm screwing up and if it is a glitch is it possible to fix

Don't know if anyone will see this but might as well ask

One of my latest 1st half-100+ uploads The LBRY/Odysee Playlists is more complete than my old My Main Youtube Channel LBRY/Odysee Version.

Im new ive played all the latest sao game but just got hollow fragment. Is it better to focus more on the hollow area or the floors. Or should i balance?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v09el_9WcZU&list=PL-_EX_vMMS5qu-q_6FdnPAKHfm8fZmjEZ&index=18&pp=gAQBiAQB I wonder what these 2 Aincrad DLC bosses is for.

PC I'm looking for an equipment list but could not find one. So can anyone help me with this?

Anyone willing to assist in getting me this weapon? Or anyone willing to give me one? I’d very much appreciate it if someone could help me get atleast one of them.

Im kinda curious about purchasing SAO Hollow Fragment but not sure if it's available as physical or is it only available as digital. Like Accell World vs Sword Art is only available as digital in certain regions, not sure if you can get a physical copy of Hollow Fragment.

Obviously I’m really really late to this game. I actually remember when I got it with the other 4 PlayStation versions that were out(LS,FB, HR). I started with HR and before I finished AL came out, which I also quickly acquired. I beat HR(not platinum) I did the tutorial for hollow fragment, then I skipped it for LS, then FB, then AL.

I was going through my trophies last night when I realized I hadn’t platinum any of them, and so figured I would try to give it a go. I redownloaded hollow fragment. The multiplayer trophies kind of worry me. I’m not sure if anyone still played and or if the trophies will still pop on the solo multiplayer. I was hoping someone could offer me some advice.

So I walked….that’s it, now I’m in the void. I feel like I should say thank you Todd but this isn’t even his game.

Hi, I was wondering what affinity ranks would be necessary to have endings in any girls (I love Silica, please don't call FBI). Also, what do I need to unlock for the girls' endings?

So I’ve completed the hollow area, clearing the classified area and I’m approaching floor 120, I’ve read somewhere that it goes upto floor 125 and in other places floor 200. Im playing on ps4 anyone able to advise? I don’t want to leave the area and lose loads of progress.

I’m playing the game and I can’t get the door open again. I’ve been through it before but can’t reopen it.

This is the Rime Woods area btw

Anyone wanna link up psn UntimlyDemise

Hey guys, I uploaded my Vita character to my PS4 way back. Getting back into the Vita version now starting from scratch. I was wondering if someone could help hook me up with some of the better gear in the game? Any and all will be appreciated!

Title, pretty self explanatory, but I'll write a bit here anyway. You only get 12 palette slots as far as I can tell. 4 neutral, 4 with shift, 4 with alt. It's so limiting my brain refuses to let me get used to using buffs because I might want the slots for more attack skills as it seems most of them have effects worth keeping them for, such as Raucous Hexedra's Paralysis (also is it quantified anywhere what stuff like Paralysis does? It's definitely not complete immobilization as in the anime, and they still seem able to attack, so is it like paralysis in pokemon?)

I guess also do you people keep Burst Attack on the palette, or just bind a bunch of sword skills and keep chaining them?

I know they show you the important bits that deviate from the main plot, like >!Shino and Suguha showing up in SAO, !<however, I would like to experience that part of the story as well, if that's possible? Does anyone here know about that? Or is it just yadda yadda'd away because other than the bits shown it's mostly the same as in the anime? Also feels weird having your character start at level 100, but still only using the most basic sword skills. You can relatively quickly unlock more, I guess, but it makes grinding feel like a pain because level ups are few and far between. It doesn't feel like the game was made for you to be this high level. Also, being so high level compared to most things you could grind on leaves you ill-trained for the occasional hard fight. I beat the first boss with no deaths, MVP and last attack and was left feeling like I don't understand enough about the game yet, and button mashed to victory, and also felt like I overprepared by buying potions at all, because I never needed them, I just used healing circle. Also, is it ever explained why Yui is able to exist in SAO again, or is that equally badly hand-waved? I don't want to feel like I'm missing out on something when I'm not, hence the question.

Hello, I had accidentally ordered the Japanese version for ps vita and I was wondering if anyone knows if it has a way to convert the menu to English?

Question Six: What leads you to play videos games in general?

Question Seven: Who's your favorite character?

Question Eight: What weapons do you use?

Question Nine: If you could promote this game, how would you? How would you recommend this to new people who are unfamiliar with the SAO IP?

Once again I want to thank you if you answer, and even if you don't thank you for reading my post! You've made a student happy just by acknowledging his post.

Anyone know how to fix this minimizing immediately on start and keeps minimizing if you try to bring it to front issue?

Already tried compatibility mode on the exe and disabling DPI scaling on it and all that.
