Bonus points if they are super retro ideas of the future internet like in front mission 3.

.hack for the PS2, where the Internet was just an application called "The World" that you launched from a desktop. Damn, need to play that again.

Edit: I missed the image in the post originally, had no idea I was literally copying OP, lol. My bad.

This post and your comment gave me nostalgia overload. I lived in a rural area growing up in the late 90s and early 00s and I was absolutely infatuated with the internet and things like the .hack games that emulated being connected. Played soooo much of that game

I miss the .hack universe. Surprisingly, one of few anime/JRPGs I ever got into. Sword Art didn’t do it for me. I hope it gets revived at some point.

I'm still holding out for the remake that won't ever happen. I really like the ./hack series but the combat in 1-4 is really clunky, even for something that's pretending to be a tab target MMO. Dual daggers will forever be my favorite character weapon archetype though.
