Excited to put this on my car 🔥

So i want to buy a Sao game wich is the best one? But t i also want one to have like a playable OC. Kinda like the one on Attack on Titan game, i loved that one and the Sao ones are on discount. Im on xbox, i cant take a screenshot so here is the picture.

Hi,

So I downloaded the demo and enjoyed the tutorial. But after the tutorial, I only see a “coop mode”. And I hit play and a matchmaking starts trying to get 20 players. It couldn’t find the 20 players so I wasn’t able to play.

Is it the same in the full game? As in… if the matchmaking doesn’t find enough players I can’t play?

With the recent release of M and Pitohui, and with my recently finishing up some grinds in other games, I found myself going back to SAO:FD. I bought it when it came out, got about 4 chapters into its story mode, and then put it down since Sparking Zero came out mere days later and consumed my life.

But I am a massive SAO fan, have been for years. So this game, a sort of recreation of the boss fights and combat mechanics seen in the show was a great idea and I was excited to play. As of now I am excited to get back to it, and try out new dlc and finish what I started.

With the release of the new dlc, a second character pass was announced. I thought this may be a good time to talk to other fans and get their feelings on it. Do you like the picks, do you hate them? Most importantly I’m curious what you think the next round of dlc could look like, and what your wishes would be for it. I responded to a post from about a week ago, and I’m going to copy a few things from that into this post as well, just to give my general feelings on the dlc, and what I hope to see in the future.

In general I’m extremely happy with getting more. I thought the base roster was good, but I wanted some more niche choices, and just more choices in general. Sadly none of my main picks got in, but hopefully in the future.

Sachi is a slam dunk choice. Makes all the sense in the world. Honestly? She should have been base game. But glad she’s coming now.

I havnt seen the progressive stuff yet with Mito, or played the game with Philia. But my understanding is that it’s a decent pick for both, so I won’t complain about them.

Alice is a stupid pick. Really don’t understand that one. I mean I do, it’s an easy add that probably costs less to make. But it’s still an extremely uninspired choice.

Most of the stuff I want the most comes from Alicization, with a few exceptions. I am absolutely flabbergasted that there aren’t more integrity knights. Literally all of them would be a good choice. But personally I want Bercouli, Fanatio, Deuselbert, Scheta, and Eldrie. Obviously those are the most known ones, but I would legit be thrilled with any of them, although Bercouli would be the most likely. Also from that season, would love Iskahn as well. Not entirely sure how they would do his weapons since he is a fist fighter, but it is an archetype that we are missing.

How Poh and Gabriel aren’t playable is absolutely beyond me. I can’t figure out how to do a spoiler blackout 😂 so I won’t say more than that on these two, except for the fact that these two are the only main villains left out of the roster, they would be an easy dlc inclusion.

I would also like a few more GGO characters I think they add some great spice to the game, and in my view the more the merrier on that one. Dyne, Shirley (though we probably don’t need yet another sniper), Eva/Boss, David, Musketeer X, Yamikaze, or Pale Rider (my personal favorite pick since he uses a shotgun, a gun type not in the game as of now).

That’s pretty much my thoughts. What I would like to see in the future. One more thing. I think dlc characters should be usable in story mode. Not being able to use them there really does feel like a waste and it is pretty disappointing.

Sorry for the long winded post. But I am genuinely curious what others are wanting for the future of the game, and lord knows I have nobody to talk to about it, so I must resort to this. Much appreciated for any and all responses and discussions.

Hello there, so there’s a website called OtakuMode which wrote a page on Reki. And it quotes that “Kirito was an ideal person whom Kawahara wanted to become.” Is their any source to back this up? Maybe in one of his afterwords or Q&As perhaps? https://otakumode.com/otapedia/anime/sword_art_online/reki_kawahara_sao

There is one video on YouTube but it' got many cuts and also a different arrangement. Like Eagil hitting the boss with the hammer is rather towards the end, whole actually it was early before the self-healing attempt.

It is so far my most favorite fighting scene in an anime :)

A link or the clip itself would be highly appreciated!

Hello, dear fans of the anime Sword Art Online, I have a question, and why the developers did not think instead of focusing on the main characters of this anime to emphasize the world of Aincrad in real life? Would you like to play an MMO RPG based on the world of Aincrad?

Why is there no real MMO RPG based on Aincrad from Sword Art Online where only swords and skills are used? Or at least like Alfheim Online

Alright so I’ve been making my way through the audiobooks on the way to work and the 4th is hilarious. Not the story but the amount of editing they did with it (production wise) you can hear interjections and cross editing from later reads in it, and TWICE they left in bad takes. VA goes “colonization, wait did I say that right. What did I say? snap in disappointment.

Again no problem with it but it is NOT polished like the first three, almost has a YouTube video feel to it. I hope there are more of these Easter eggs in a sense in future volumes!

I just watched it and I had a great time. I can see some flaws in it but it does not deserve the hate it gets

1. The cousin thing

This is one of the complaints and I can see that but there are cultural differences there and I can't help but feel bad for Suguha when she's crying.

2. Hate for sugou

He's a villain. He's meant to be hated. I know a lot of villains have a sympathetic side these days but some villains are just pure bad. You can criticize the bad for bad sakes nature but I think it works and the hate the writers get for putting him in in is insane

3. Uncomfortable scenes

This is the one I can see the most. Like the scene where sugou rpes Asuna is definitely uncomfortable but this stuff happens in real life. Like obviously if you've been a victim and can't take the scene I get that but like the idea this shouldn't have been in is insane. There is Western content that shows rpe. The only scene I thought was distasteful that I don't see people talk about is when the purple slugs nearly r*pe Asuna. I thought it was distasteful and unnecessary

The only weak points is probably some things are predictable. Like little things though like oh sughua was gonna say that or like when recon fights in the tree I was like "oh yeah he's dead"

But yeah I really enjoyed this arc.

Like I probably like aincrad arc better but this was still very good

Just finished WoU anime and I can’t get enough of SAO!

Was on a long anime hiatus but came back recently as my favorite anime growing up, Bleach, came back. I happened to notice that my other favorite anime growing up, SAO, got more seasons (originally watched Aincrad and Fairy Dance about 10 years ago) and now here I am having finished the anime and wanting more.

I read some other posts and saw that the light novels seem to continue from volume 19 in the moon cradle arc. I plan to read from there to volume 27, but I also heard that the Alicization light novels are really good. I really enjoyed the anime the most from the middle of Alicization (whenever Kirito/Eugeo save Ronye and Tiese, are arrested by Alice, and begin their way through Central Cathedral) all the way through the end of WoU.

I wanted to ask the experts, which Alicization light novels fall under that general umbrella? I’d be interested in reading those to see what the anime cut out, but the start of Alicization was a bit slow for me and didn’t really have me addicted like the second half did through WoU, so I’m not particularly interested in reading the source material for that.

Thanks for the help!

Obviously it's hypothetical but do you think some of these ladies would be a better match for our Black swordman than our Goddess Stacia?

Got them in two different thrift store in Japan. Kirito is 770yen (5$) and Asuna is 1250yen (8$) 😅

I know that he & Suguha spent those 3 months living like normal Japanese citizens & Asuna was having physical therapy in order to regain muscles in her legs after being in VR for over 2 years. However, it makes me wonder what they did during that time?

Did Asuna get released out of the hospital the day or 2 after she reunited with Kirito irl?

Did Kirito helped Asuna out going through places like the school, subways, her house etc.?

Did Kirito helped Asuna carrying her school supplies?

Did Kirito properly introduced Asuna to Sugu at the hospital, their house, or somewhere else? When Asuna was awake irl, not during episode 21.

Can alice's robot body have sex?
