 * The Time Travel story in PSP version will have the same event as the previous series only a few major difference on it, in Chrono Link version will have more different and interesting way to show the storytime travel that was different from previous ones, but it also has good way to look on Legendary Characters in different path and ways to show.


 * The LINK Main plot will be unchanged, however, it will be told in many different ways to tell, and also expanding the main story development that including their involvement in the story which something that the PSP version didn't do.
 * As the PSP version is full-game, the Chrono Link version will divide its game into three-part as it also a full-game as well, more like Trilogy to be made. Trilogy will best example to bringing expanding lore, as the first episode will expanding lore about First Season, the second episode expanding its lore about Second Season, and finally, the third season will bringing a higher peak & expanding lore about Third Season.
 * Although it will never be listed on the difference, the three parts of full-games will bring to expand the lore of .hack series and digging its main story deeper.

 * The Akashic Records usability as been expanded from the PSP version, as its focuses on affecting the memories of the players that become part of their awareness, as someone trying to interfere the memories log save data of the past will cause the major relapse and memories of player will be changed in unexpected ways or known as Alteration memories syndrome, no wonder why their memories had changed became major distortion news to the public, cause they didn't know a people that they originally met as past of major cause from its syndrome
 * One in unpleasant ways as rule in Akashic Records that only changing the data save of players memories, but they cannot change the fate for those people who had already died, even though they can change their memories, no one could ever avoid the deaths since the alteration of time will only work in digital worlds, not in real-world, except the memories of the players that been impacted in the real world.

Tokio and his friend had been encountering with him many times and had been fighting against her so many times as well. However, no one could ever possibly knows about ENTIES’s true identity. He was presumed by Tokio and his friend to be the mastermind behind the Fall of the Twilight Knights and the corruption operational of Akashic Records, which is now still never been found until now.

According to the new information Alibaba and Saika, Enties is a possibility to be a secret member of Schicksal and was never been listed as a member due to her rarely being shown up. As the story progress, ENTIES is still become a main key role to LINK Story as they still figuring out his true identity and his true intent, while they hunt for Chrono Core.

Some according to the source, that ENTIES may have an actual connection with Jyotaro Amagi.

X-Chain
The mysterious virus which was called  Cross Chain  is the strongest type of virus bug that came creation from Hidden Corrupted Data within Tokio’s PC which was caused by Black Disc Copy.

That virus can even stand a chance against Aura’s Ultimate Protection Security AI and causing Aura’s been infected and corrupted by the Cross Chain virus, with resulting the Immortal Dusk came into a place.

It surpassing many types of virus that already came to event, but this virus was entirely different from any type they came up for, with possibility of Remake version of Deadly Flash or something worse than ever, with suspicion of the hackers had created virus that really out of the system, and was claimed for those who created it was a genius in IT making speculating that someone has installed the virus to the Black Copy Disc.

But another speculation and theories have told the possibility that Cross Chain Virus doesn’t come from Black Copy Disc, but there’s someone else with the highest capabilities of programmers has hacking Tokio’s PC, therefore it connected to ENTIES, but all this conclusion remains unclear and unsolved at moment.

Guardian of Recorder
The guardians who protecting the Labyrinth of Time which most likely is Akashic Record.

There are not Demon or Angels, even with their similar design, there are Guardian of Recorder who protecting Aura from someone who tries to get near Aura or using Aura in corrupted ways and their mission to protect the Memories Data Log of Time from those who use them for something beyond just risk.

But, due to Schicksal came, those guardian being corrupted and Chrono Link Core has disappeared, causing Schicksal using Akashic Record to travel the time and obtaining the Chrono Core and so then the time record log data remained unprotected & change which became a source of the Alteration Memories Syndrome.

Those guardians are the protector of the level operating system of Akashic Record, and putting Chrono Core need to breached them by defeating those Guardians to get past to the operating system level.

There are 4 Guardian of Recorder, such as:
 * 1st Phase  TIME
 * 2nd Phase  REALM
 * 3rd Phase  SPACE
 * 4th Phase  PARADOX

King of Recorder 'Chrono'
The King, Leader, and the protector of the Gate Seal of Chrono Core which where Aura has been kept, however, he is the oldest guardian who had to protect her for more than one decade, along with his minion which revealed to be The Guardian of Recorder, Security Ultimate AI system, and Three Azure Knight who was protecting Aura through many versions of The WORLD.

The Chrono is the guardian of the source of all Chrono Core,  Chrono Link  which is the true origin of all Chrono Core had been made and has been kept protecting under last Aura’s wish.

The King was used to be PC played by Human in the Era of The WORLD R:1, however as soon his player died due to cancer, he survived as a wandering AI and been taking care of by Aura as the most trusted guardian. He evolved through many countless data, repairing, reconstructing, and upgraded in many versions to survive and that’s how he becomes the most powerful AI as the King of Recorder.

It is the strongest bosses which harder to defeat, but usually, there’s only a way to defeating him.

The Founder of Recorder "LINK"
Much considered as the most mystery lore of dothack series, according to Classified CC Corp Files, The Founder of Recorder “Link” was not an AI or Bosses, but the Human who had a total concentration of DoubleWare PC.

He possesses data and power to control the memories of log data PC, including the ability to see everything, including the future and many things, however, those power are remains still unknown. But it has the power to see through PCs memories and many hidden sights have been exposed with that kind of abilities.

They can also commanding the PC, NPC, Bosses, AI and more to kneel on their feet, which proving how much those power had possessed through connection and Link toward network system, thus able to control network as well. But according to those files, they had killed The Complete DoubleWare Subject who had the highest awareness of “The Founder” data power, which could be possibly become the highest threats of all CC Corp and all Human Race.

It was considered as the forbidden Data Power to access, but the question is how Time Recording Connection still active even after they had killing “The Founder User”?

The Gate of Chrono Core
The Guardians of Recorder seems to be the one who takes a charge on keep protecting the Gate of Chrono Core from those who using the operational system and it seems to contain more than meets the eyes, as according to Ayaka/Saika, the operational system of Akashic Record was seal within and guarded by the Guardian of Recorder which that means needs to get through them first.

However, those who touch the door hold the secret memories of the past time which could possibly hold something that never even they had seen before.

Who’s the one's memories are still unknown, but theories had told that Tokio and his friends are not the first ones who came to Akashic Records.

Real Digitalization
The highest-rare advancement technology which allows Human to enter to the Digital World with their own Physical Body and their minds, which actually Digitalizing themselves into a Data. By entering their Actual Body into a Virtual Space making them had no effects on problems like their real-life did, such as Food, Drinking or Sleep, it was due to their mind physicology had slightly worked like data, unable to feel the condition due to their being in Data.

They won’t age due to their physical body awareness won’t do affect data as well, such as Cells, Bones, and more specifically won’t working which means that it internally stopping the process inside the body which now been replaced with how the flow works of the data.

It also had a few numbered risk, with how long the process as goes with how System evolved more will impacting their lives, if the system shut down or their amount data works been deleted which means that They will also get permanently deleted, which also mean to be dead and another risk is how awareness of the actual body can somehow transfigure their mind it also impacting to how their body limit goes, which means if their Real-Digitalization Body’s internal Core delete, which means they unable to return to Real World, which means they will be trapped in Data World forever, unless someone who had the highest skill can enough to recreated their core data.

Another worst possibility risk lead-up to  Outer Dependency Syndrome, if they extending too much amount process to their Real Digitalization causing their brainwave to become much processing the irregularity which out of their moralities, and eventually causing the total loss of their form and diffusion across the virtual space, which means they will go berserk and unable to control themselves.

Although, it was slated as the classified technology which was never brought to light since late-20 Century which was classified by CyberConnect Corporation themselves until some of the staff, including Genius, had worked for Bring back idea the Real-Digitalization project, thus reborn into Immortal Dusk Project by using that technology

But technology has a high awareness level with those who had to possess the special abilities known as DoubleWare

DoubleWare PC
The special abilities which are currently the higher-level awareness of the Real Digitalization known DoubleWare which is the same as Real Digitalized PC which entering their Physical body and mind into Data and Network.

The differences in how they able to move around or even can transport themselves, but they cannot use a system like other PC like leveling up, changing equipment, interact using the system, and more system from the online game due to the body of Doubleware wasn’t same like any other PC. However, In order to grant access to the gameplay of the Online Game, they need to train and nurture themselves how to manipulating gravitation, combat, surrounding environment, and more.

But away easy to navigate the DoubleWare PC by using the Augmented Virtual Eyeglasses which has invisibilities allowing to navigate players to nurture themselves like they can use an online game system like their own PC like how much level which results from player’s experience as Doubleware PC.

DoubleWare is not much like PC, however, it has special abilities that granted more freedom to access the equipment and job depending they choose like in Real-Life, and can use to manifest the amount data at their own will.

Even Doubleware PC has an immune effect to any attacks by PC, including bullet gun, skills and more which is more impossible, but they still can feel injured or hurt in different circumstances, but too much highest concentration of Doubleware will also causing their body reach Outer Dependency Syndrome, unless they able to control the concentration of Doubleware abilities.

The Founder Power also exists as ultimate special abilities with a total concentration and awareness toward Doubleware, without being drawn into Syndrome, but it is unknown what kind abilities will reach such a conclusion at the moment.
