More Update Soon!!

.hack//LINK -Remake- is a fully remake version to original PlayStation Portable game, .hack//LINK which is now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Scarlet, and Switch. The story will be remade in a different direction while expanding its element which never seen in the original version and it is also served as true canon to .hack//franchise. while dismissing the title is the final game to .hack//franchise, but instead to be Revival of Third Season.

The remake version will be an episodic in full-game which will have three episodes regarding how it expands is not just expands the story, but also rebooting the gameplay in new ways.

The prequel series .hack//RIVES will tell Tokio's story on his first log-on to The World R:3. The anime prequel story will be totally be connected to the remake story, watching the prequel story will understand the remake story to the fullest, and understand the progression through the main actual story development Tokio's character along with other characters.

Idea
.hack//LINK -Remake- is a remake version of the original PSP game which released back in 2010. but due to the many controversies and major negative response to the japan.

The reason is due to the Field Area being too much repetitive and not consistent, with lack major MMO materials which how to make dot hack series interesting, and the story being decent with lack of story progression and major turning point toward the story, but it was already proper of continuation, however...

But a big major problem is a gameplay feature is very short, very repetitive and left negative response from Japanese & international players and .hack//fans who had played the game since .hack//IMOQ and .hack//G.U.

Ever since that many players never take interest in the gameplay and few stories due to how lack MMO RPG become so much amazing, with more important as how to lack the mystery elements which become a main theme to the .hack//franchise.

The remake version idea was created in order for preparation to celebrate the 10th anniversary of .hack//LINK being released later in 2020, so there's a bigger new content toward the remake version while re-imagining the .hack//LINK story in a different direction and deeper, focus on new mystery and elements which been received.

The gameplay features will heavily remake and softly reboot with the game will be Action fast-pace RPG based on Real-Time and MMO which making the game experience even faster, strategic and more effective.

The idea is how making idea gameplay features will not being repetitive like the previous one which brought new elements and new type areas which never seen before, and bring backs mystery elements which how making .hack//IMOQ become positive response around the world.

Although there's still an idea I have to write, maybe if there's anyone who has an idea of how to make a change you are well welcome to add your idea.

There's still a long way to go, so there's still more need to added to this article.

But in the remake version, Using Akashic Records cannot guarantee to change the major events that have to take place in the past event due to Tokio's involvement and changing to unfreeze the time. but using The Revision Time Memories which bound changes vision what she saw about major events in the past has implemented to them.

Because as it's not changing the timeline, it changing Aura's memory data which has been stored on her mind in Akashic Records, and with the past event change, and her memories also change with his involvement had created Revision Time Memories which changing all PC and Twilight Knights Memories with Tokio's existence in the past event.
