I see. Oh well, I guess such DEM setups just don't bother me.
They're better than the popular "lol let's kill the entire cast lol" tragic endings. Honestly, I'd take a DEM anytime over that. I would only be annoyed if a DEM was outrageously outside of the SAO world. Like, completely unrelated. Quote:

Not at all. Just means that Kirito would be the first to truly use the Incarnate System. How would that mess with anything currently shown? And who gives a shit about later arcs, when this would have been written first? He'd have written with this in mind, so it wouldn't screw with anything.

Now, I don't disagree with you, Klashikari, and others that say there could have been more pointers directly in the ALO arc to help support this (without making it so very obvious what the plot twist would be). I can understand why you and others find this unsatisfactory... but I think the whole situation was setup in order for this to happen... as clumsy as that may seem. (This is supported by the "powerless hero" theme that was also apparent throughout the arc, and called-back upon after Sugou's defeat.) Quote:

Someone who dreams of their own personal perfect world is an idealistic dreamer; that's someone you can sympathize with. Someone who murders thousands in the pursuit of that personal dream is nothing more than a selfish monster... Sachi and 4,000 others are dead, just because some guy wanted to live out a private fantasy. Their deaths was not some kind of unforeseen accident of something gonna horribly wrong; Kayaba knew this would happen and did it any to fulfill a selfish wish... Yes... that would have felt so much better Quote:

Kawahara Reki does get better at not DEMing his stories as time goes by. If anything, I believe that Fairy Dance is a bit of an experimental outlier that messes with a whole bunch of plot concepts that he didn't use with Aincrad. |

Those words remind me of the computer salesman that sold us our first PC, confidently telling us this was "one of the fastest PC's" and that we'd "be good for the next twenty years."
Not even five years later we were already looking to upgrade. Quote:
The thought alone that the gaming industry would somehow be left behind with this gem of technology available is ridiculous. Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo would be racing to be the first to develop a working system. An opinion I respect, but you bring it as if it is true for everyone and the reason why the advancements in something as simple as cloth physics is bad storytelling. Quote:

Pong is hardly high artistry BTW. If anything it's probably one of the more boring retro games. And if you didn't care, why are you even responding? Quote:

Yupp, one of the more obvious odd things with this arc is that most of it is told from the perspective of Suguha. It's not as obvious in the anime, but do note how when they take a break we see what Suguha does, but then we stay in ALO when Kirito leaves.

Tough one, but one thing that comes to mind would be Yui using the privileges she got from the admin card to accesses the system and lock out Sugou's admin privileges thus forcing him to fight kirito fair and square. Or something along those lines. Its not much different than Kirito using Kayaba's admin powers, but atleast this would have some forward explanation behind it since Yui is an advanced AI and we know that the card gave Yui the kind of access that only admins have

Yes, it was alluded to in Kayaba's conversation with Kazuto -- that he was the one who exceeded the limits of his game, so he was better than to be defeated by this setback. But then, Kayaba granted him the "cheat". So it was connected to the theme, but the specific method used wasn't in accordance with the theme. This is because (as I added above), the secondary theme here was also "I thought I was powerful but I'm actually weak". So this particular plot development is at the intersection of these two themes. (Kazuto as one who can bend the rules of the world, but who needed "a bit of help" in his hour of need as he struggled with his own uselessness.)

And really, that wasn't even the point people were trying to make. That's what it turned into when you started moving the goalpost. The real point people were making is from back when you claimed that clothing damage is physically impossible, and the real point was that it isn't impossible for clothing damage to exist in SAO games, since the basic technology to do so already exists right here and now. |

AW was written long after the entire SAO series had already concluded, the Incarnate System in AW is something Kawahara created base on his work in SAO, how could he have written SAO with IS in mind, when it wouldn't have been created 'til years later? |
