This is meant to be a hypothetical and realistic speculation on who will Klein end up with. Is she an SAO survivor or maybe we haven't seen her yet or he'll remain a single lonely adult?

Yui played such an important role even if it was for short term for Kirito and Asuna, I think she helped their mental health, so it makes me wonder if more like her were able to break through or ignored the orders in the game or cardinal system had not forbidden them from interfering with players whatsoever, maybe many would've not lost hope and survived and those who survived had not gone astray like those laughing coffin SAO survivors.

I agree with Klein’s early statement, that with a good team and a whole lot of grind an MMO can be easy.

However, I’d get too stuck on picking a weapon class to specialize or what skill set to hone.

I’m curious to hear what builds you guys would use, or if you’d stick to being a city slicker for survivability.

I’d likely end up a vendor chasing after high rarity jewelry in exchange for party invites to high-ranking bosses.

No soloing for this guy 😂😂

What type of player do you honestly think you would have been if you were one of the original players trapped inside Aincrad?

A stay-in-town hoping it gets cleared?

A low-level player that was very safe but tried to grind a little?

A smith?

A PKer (who's the murderers out there?🤣)?

A front-line player-or at least try to be?

And would you have believed Kayaba at the start about the dying?

Also, guild or solo player?

I would have personally stayed a solo player for as long as possible-just too untrusting and wanting more freedom.

Later in the game though, I'd probably be forced to join one.

I would grind non-stop off fairly safe spawn points and not take too many risks going into unknown dungeons, etc. Boss fights I would probably participate in, but it would be a go-by-feel thing on each one.

And I'd have probably believed Kayaba-or at the very least, wouldn't be willing to test him being wrong.

(Don’t come in with the petty “no you wouldn’t” stuff to everyone that says they would fight—just because you wouldn’t doesn’t mean others wouldn’t.)

So, I've wondered why the SAO players only found out later in the day of launch that they couldn't log out.

It seemed strange to me, since there were thousands of players online, and not even one tried to log out just a bit early?

Were you able to log out in the beginning? Did players just brush it off?

If someone early on realized that they couldn't log out, surely word would spread, although, this wouldn't change much as they weren't able to communicate with the outside world, but maybe it would've caused panic earlier, instead of people spending the first few hours enjoying the game.

The panic just came a little later, but nobody ever talked about the logout button being missing until Kayaba gathered everyone and told them himself.

Most likely it's just suspense for the story, but it's just a random curiosity anyway

I love Klein but I’ve been wondering how he become one of the strongest players in SAO?

Klein wasn’t a beta tester like Kirito, nor was he properly trained, for a while, by a beta tester, like Asuna.

Klein’s only advantage was the short amount of time Kirito spent, teaching him the basics.

So how did Klein become strong enough to lead a guile that fought on the front lines & suffered 0 casualties?

I'm just curious, did the anime make it that much worse or was it always expected that FD would be that disliked?

I don't think it's as bad as most but it's definitely the weakest arc to me as an anime only.

Was it better in the LNS?

So I’m fairly new to the scene and I have finally taken a dive into SAO after all these years and I am not sure how to feel about it. Not in a bad way or anything, but it’s been an emotional rollercoaster from the first couple of episodes from the first season I have what feels like my heart crushed and filled with so many emotions that I can honestly say never felt before from any tv shows. It’s taken me a while to come to terms with the first season but I made it to season 2.

All started so great until the end… I won’t say anymore since I’m sure everyone here probably knows what I’m on about. The point I want to ask is why do I feel so viscerally about the feelings and emotions from this one anime? Why does it feel like this show is able to bring me to high to the point that I am giggling like when I was younger and at the same time evoke such emotions of despair, utter sadness that it brings genuine tears and I would argue borderline depression so much that it feels painful to watch some episodes.

Did anyone else have this reaction to this anime or am I the only one who feels about SAO in this particular way?

It’s way off—if it’s ever even going to be possible—but if a real-life copy or mimic of SAO, Aincrad, or a similar version finally did happen, realistically, would you actually enter it if the “if you die in game, you die in real life” factor was still at play?

You’re not trapped like in the original SAO, but the effect still exists—if you die in the game, you die in real life. Do you still go in, and how often?

I personally would still risk it. I’ve always found life boring and loved escapism and fantasy worlds. I’m not looking to die or anything, but I feel like I’d still have to risk it to experience a world like that.

Rules are you have to log in at least once a week to keep access and every time you log in you must stay logged in inside the game for at least 2 hours and you must be outside of the towns, safe zones for at least 5 minutes every log in.

Figured I would share it again after so long.

And yes, I'm sure that I will get some hate for it.
