Kayaba is probably still waiting at the last floor in ALO's new Aincrad as an bottom-up type AI player, he didn't really care about the real world Idk if he might have changed in the meantime.nightreader wrote: I wonder where his soul is watching from, for the other books and what he thinks about is happening in the real world.
If he gives good coverage to Klein with Fuurinkazan and also maybe Agil , they can step up to lead the clearing group with Asuna and Kirito probably.Skeptic wrote:For the original plan for the 100th floor boss fight, "minions" is probably the right answer. Even the first floor boss had them. Possibly terrain would be a factor too; an entire floor of the Scarlet Castle might be the battleground instead of just the throne room.
That also gives more room for the other unique skills to be important. The winning player strategy becomes this: pin the boss in one room for a Dual Blades vs Holy Sword and Shield showdown while keeping minions from interfering. And you'd want that to be a big (preferably round) room instead of somewhere with a narrow choke point, since that shield would be pretty much invincible if he just stands in a doorway.
It'd be very interesting to see if Kawahara decides to cover the final 25 floors in Progressive. Imagine the absolute chaos among the playerbase if the early reveal still happens, but everyone declines the early final duel offer, or he doesn't even offer the early duel. That basically decapitates the strongest clearing guild AND removes a godlike defensive unique skill from the clearer arsenal. Who will step in to lead? How will the general population handle the crushing despair? IMO if he's going to try for that plot branch, we'll see other heroes start to arise well in advance.
Yeah. By the time of the murder mystery, DDA was a close rival, and I think any other guild was far behind those big two. We don't really have much info on the state of the clearing guilds by the time of the 75th floor. I get the impression that the rivalries had faded somewhat, as the number of active clearers steadily dropped. I would think the scouting party they lost was a mixed group, for example.Sludge wrote:Also it was said before that even though KoB was the strongest there were still other strong guilds that could probably take over.
Actually, covering the last 25 floor in progressive means that it will change the original story. Might be better to called the last 25 floor arc as "IF Route" instead of ProgressiveSkeptic wrote:For the original plan for the 100th floor boss fight, "minions" is probably the right answer.

) and aaaaall the bosses from floor1-99 vs all the front line players xD 
I'm guessing that Kayaba would more likely forcebily teleport ALL living players to floor 100 and prevent access to lower floors. By removing safe areas he would force front liners to divert part of their forces to protecting low level players 24/7. Since criminals would also be mixed in the group there would be an increased need for a dedicated police force. If ocasional large monster attacks were added in, then this way he would truly mess with everyone in SAO.ssdan wrote:Covering the last 25 floors of Aincrad... that sounds like a bunch of OVAs or even a whole season on its own? That sounds... very delicious xD
hm.. floor 100 boss will be Heathcliff (man forgot how to spell his name
Seriously? I thought he said somewhere that he doesn't feel romantic feelings for Sachi, just a protective feeling, like a comrade..^^OnMe wrote: Kirito
Q. Who was your first love? Also, what position would Asuna be, in order of the women you liked?
A. Someone who was in the “Black Cats of the Moonlit Night”… I guess. Basically, that would make Asuna the next person I ended up liking after her.
That's a pretty shocking revelation! I checked the red nose reindeer chapter and the story says that there was only one female member in the party of five. So that means that Kirito had a crush on Sachi (as he didn't express anything at all as far as we know) and had to see her die before his own eyes! No wonder he had such a trauma after that incident and didn't want to join any guilds afterwards... :'(
This was a retcon. Believe the taps blog stated the interview was from '05.acolyte wrote: Seriously? I thought he said somewhere that he doesn't feel romantic feelings for Sachi, just a protective feeling, like a comrade..
I don't know where should I start being sad from.. From Sachi's death, or Asuna being second, or Kirito being not interested in Asuna in the first two floors (anime/side story/ME wise) etc etc..
