Aww, I'm not that young. I just don't have much experience with MMORPGs, my forte is just traditional single-player RPGs. My posts wasn't meant completely seriously - I understand that people are cautious due to the risk of actual death - but I thought that was the only thing holding them back. I never would have imagined that some MMORPGs, like in grey's Shin Megami Tensei example, would take several years or more to reach the max level. That sounds... really... not fun? I always figured the experience curve would be closer to that of regular RPGs, where you can almost always grind to 99 or whatever's the max level in a couple of weeks if you just farm some final dungeon enemies.

Death really sucks at high levels because the exp penalty is percentage based. Most highbies use cash shop items to let them res without death penalty, but not everyone can afford them. Another aspect of SMTi that is similar to SAO is how the skills work. You charge your skill first, then you fire it off. Someone attacks you, you can prep a counter, guard or dodge. Only thing I don't like about the Int version is that we haven't (yet) got content from popular animes such as To Aru Kagaku no Railgun boo boo

It's not like that now, modern MMO's are far too instant-gratification... but in many cases it's better / easier / more enjoyable for casual players. |

Oh god, the Nico Nico's episode airing and their links to "relevant products" area killed me.
Walls. Lots of replacement WALL products. Comments are full of "I ran out of walls to punch".

But it only takes IP from Japan, so you'd have to have a proxy.

'cause? But probably because he couldn't find a publisher... that's why most things don't get published.
I'm assuming that's why he didn't publish it back in '02. It wasn't until Accel World took off that he published it. His initial submission for the award was too long so he converted his works to a web format. But I don't actually know how hard he worked between 2002 > 2009 to get SAO published, but he did continue to churn out web novels. Since the web novel was somewhere near the end of Alicization he must have put quite a ton of the material up on the web prior to finding a publisher. Quote:
It's, in theory (we don't really have enough information from the anime yet to decide they're identical), a pair of similar notions from two different groups that were released around the same time. |

I kinda disagree here. It's because she thought he wanted to get laid, hence the whole misunderstanding. The tension while drinking tea, then she said "okay", ie. deciding to just get it over with. I'm not implying she didn't want it, though how it came about implied she's giving what his request was.
(In before novel readers adding novel spoilers to disprove my thoughts) |

(And yeah... it'd be nice if novel readers would ease up a bit on "oh, some anime viewer made a speculative comment; I absolutely must provide them with every detail they missed from not reading the novel!" It's not like people couldn't read the novels themselves if they really wanted to; it's not a "unique skill". If people haven't read it thus far, we can assume they want to watch the anime without novel info.)

EDIT: I think he was refering to ep 10, but might have wanted to imply something with sex->marriage->happy times. EDIT2: No wait, I think something with battle->announce together forever->sex->marriage->happy times was rushed and the 'announce together forever'->sex was a bit of a wtf. Double post, but it is on a slightly different note from before but will be more on topic, I promise. I find Kirito & Asuna's relationship rather interesting but I don't think they're a proper romantic relationship, yet (despite what others are saying). Asuna loves him because of the large influence he's had in her life in the VR world (because she's clearly doing it wrong): Asuna: "Food's not that tasty is it?" -> The cream on the bread -> Takes up cooking skill Kirito: "I suggest you join a guild" -> Joins a guild Kirito: "Don't overdo it, relax" -> Sleeps for the day Asuna's "I don't know what to do if you had died" makes sense because she's a practically a lost puppy in the VR world. Compound this with the whole Kirito-Kuradeel & Kirito-Heathcliff fight over Asuna incidents (what girl doesn't like a guy defending her honor?), I think it's clear she feels she owes him. As for Kirito, I honestly didn't see any (or can't remember - this is where other viewers comes in an makes a rebuttal) what made Kirito love Asuna. Looking back at ep 10, Kirito says he will use his body for her purpose. Well, that's logical in the typical man honor code sense (or whatever the correct term is). He now owes her an enormous debt, because she saved him so his idea of repayment is his life in pledge to her service. She's says she'll leave him alone, so the kiss is his way of binding the contract and ensure she doesn't leave. They sleep in separate beds despite being "married", and when Asuna whispers she loves him, she is relieved when he didn't hear her. Clearly, they're not on the same page in terms of their relationship. In this episode, he questions whether their relationship exists in the real world, which is really to ask, what experience(s) still counts in the real world, despite being in a VR world? As it stands, they believe their lives are on the line, thus their debts to each other are real. But on the off chance no ones actually died, what becomes of their relationship since their entire relationship was based on their debt to each other?
