I am ashamed to say I've NEVER played a .Hack game, they look so...I dunno, something throws me off every time I approach them.

That dude however looks cool, I've seen some of his artwork before and I know he has nifty weapons...that...compels me to want to play to see what it's about but I think he arrives in a later part of the series and from what I heard, it's REQUIRED that I play the previous games.

Blerg, any .Hack fans, can you fill me out here? Is it worth playing? I need me some JRPGs that I haven't touched due to my 'Hnnnnnnng! Square is GOD' fangirl phase has long since past. Thankies! ^-^ <————- included a smiley for extra adorbs.
