Yeah, but SoA is NOT an MMO.
It's close to real life. In fact, it is real life. and since its such a well defined game world, some people just couldn't help but to acted on their inner desires and dark sides. Last edited by Daniel E.; 2012-09-13 at 15:37. |

The greatest limitation of RL is the fact people already knew you for who you are back there. But in a world like SAO where people really didn't knew each other (of course Beta players somehow knew each other somehow) it is actually a lot easier to play the hero role and help others, instead of being someone everybody hates... even if you DO have inner dark desires, it is easier to keep them because of this mere fact. (I know I have in RL when facing my college friends.)

btw - I have seen some comments that they really shared a night together after all (asuna naked in bed) and left it off-screen what do you think? (but I guess not) When asuna was getting undressed I thought "great, finally some anime that is not afraid of having mature sex relationship between characters (even off-screen)", but reaction kirito had ruined it all) |

And then "meta-gaming" was a term to mean "clueless protagonist".
But seriously, why is it so surprising that he'd respond that way? Let alone view her as a friend, ally, and companion first? I could be wrong, but...it's the very fact that he views her as those first that adds to Asuna's attraction to him.

Maybe if they showed how Kirito grinded his way up to Level 75, even if it's just for 5 minutes, he could have been more tolerable if not acceptable. Somehow, every good MMO player has to start from something. A good MMO player is not cultivated overnight.

But they did? We don't see him go from lv1 to lv75 overnight or anything like that. And we've been shown him killing monsters. Grinding isn't about killing low level monsters that net little exp. It can also be killing very few powerful monsters for more exp. One example of Kirito "grinding" was his fight vs. the Lizardman.

I'm guessing you mean level 70, which would be the lead up to fighting Nicholas the Renegade. The light novel went into decent detail about how hard he was pushing himself, and it definitely would've been nice to see (especially since it would've given Klein and Argo some more characterization too).
