I believe that will be the case. The price of Progressive Volume 1 was confirmed to be 725yen. It's gonna be very thick for this volume.

I hope it never ends.

All good things come to an end. So if it doesn't end, it's definitely not a good thing.

Ok ok... Progressive is 4 Volumes right? Then we'll be having almost 4 volumes full of 13 or so parts...? *blink* Well, I know Aria was 8 parts... Rondo is 40 parts.........the other chapter w/c is Floor 3... no idea. Now Floor 4?

So far, there's only one volume being announced for Progressive series. And it was already confirmed that Volume 1 will consist of 3 stories covering Floor 1 and 2. 2 out of 3 stories are Aria and Rondo.

It doesn't have Monochrome Concerto?

Not sure where to post this but I found this: http://db2012fes.dengeki.com/stage/index.html

It mentions SAO series has a main stage event at the Dengeki Bunko Autumn Festival this year. Can anyone tell what it's about?

I guess he'll be planning to start and finish the Elf Campaign in the next volume I guess....

Sad, 'cus the Elf Campaign sounded like an awesome low-level mission.

Certainly not something that should be rushed, I think I heard rumors somewhere that it was a 'quest line' that was intended to take from floor 3 to 10? unsure.

It actually has the line in the ME.

Spoiler for Novel text:

Based on these small details, it is easy to conclude that SAO has several campaigns over the span of several floors, just like a regular MMO. Question remains that needs to be answered in the Progressive series: what were those missions?

Floor 3 - 9: Dark Elf vs Forest Elf
Floor 95 - 100: Heathcliff and the Scarlet Jade Castle

Others: ???

I think in ME7 it was mentioned that Floor 1 (mostly humanoid enemies) is the 'official' introduction to SAO, but I remember Kirito saying that the Elf quest on Floor 3 is rather hidden.
Since you had to choose which elf you wanted to help, it'll probably be something like helping one race win the war against the other, with quest rewards having a higher iLvL than average on that floor or unique items (dye, accessories, etc).

Rather being a mission, I see Floor 95 - 100: Heathcliff and the Scarlet Jade Castle as the last act/crusade of SAO, them against the evil mastermind/devil king Heathcliff.

The imagine system in Alizilation is annoying the hell out of me. Such an abstract thing to include in a game!

I hope some unknown people infiltrated RATH, playing the game, wrecking havoc in underworld, beating all integrity knights like crushing ants and challenging Kirito...

Netto Azure · 2012-09-21, 07:17

Anyone here read the translation for the Character Q&A sessions back in 2005ish?

It's quite the fun read and an insight to the characters. Albeit Web Novel style.

http://taptaptaptaptap.wordpress.com...-klein-silica/

Also hot damn the Ethics Code removal was mentioned too (Cuz the web novel version had the sleeping together scene than simply holding hands.) So I guess we can extrapolate the authors original intentions then.

Hell_ping · 2012-09-22, 12:36

^You really enjoyed the ethics code off, huh...

Anyway, I did up the Black Lake Toya part. Still another 70 pages to go for this volume...

Well, as they often say, sex sells.

They probably exist, but Kirito hardly has a use for one.

look around the internet, 90% is porn, just because the novels don't mention it doesn't mean it isn't there.
