The Azure Knights are security programs made from incomplete memories and data of legendary heroes. Imagine if Aura remembers all of Kite, Orca and Balmung and with complete data. It would be a more badass return. Interestingly, the triple bladed swords were once used by the Original Kite during his fight with Corbenik. I was expecting more lore reveals in Vol.4 of G.U. but turns out it's just a final battle expansion. Hope we get .hack//LINK remake soon.
i can't find the original announcement trailer from e3 over a decade ago, but the scene where haseo first encounters kite had a really cool effect where the tri blades would "grow" from the center rather than just abruptly open up. I remember seeing that for the first time and thinking it was the coolest thing ever.
link wasn't very good gameplay wise unfortunately, you'd need to do a lot to it to make up for that then just translate it and put it in hd. like it is fundamentaly bad, which sucks because concept wise it's awesome.
And thus, the goddess fashioned herslf three kights of azure flame... Three blades of flame... Flaming wings of the sky... A mighty blade of flaming sea... They protect the world she was born from against man and AI alike... Now that task had been passed to her Reaper, they may still reside in the world.
I watched those many years ago, I loved them. I just happened to get this game and was just surprised to hear this. I was like so this is where it came from awesome
It's kind of tragic that aura created these AI and purposely stifled them so they wouldn't be able to rebel against her. Perhaps she did it out of benevolence but she still left them incomplete while forcing her responsibilities on them.
Not necessarily. They’re broken looking because of the fire that torched the company years before the gu games started. The messed up look was due to Aura doing her best to stitch them back together.
@@DarkEclipse23 Aura is a literal computer god with all the processing power of the future internet on her side if she didn't finish coding them it was on purpose.
@@emeraldpichu1 I think Aura was weakened by the fire as well. In G.U., she couldn't use her body to help get rid of the problems running around. Oddly enough, in Project x Zone 1 & 2, Aura even more powerful than the main Dot.HACK// timeline version.
@@Knight41b logistically speaking any weakness on her behalf is only a result of an unwillingness to act. She's a perfect self-rewriting AI if there's a problem with her it's a refusal to fix it not a lack of ability to you need to understand that this kind of thing could just self-replicate across the internet and basically take over the world The issue isn't that she chooses not to it's that she chooses to do less than the minimum to get ahead of the evil corporation trying to use her and the AI that spawn from all the fragmented programs that she never dealt with when the whole fiasco started in the first place.
