I wonder if there will be time dilation in the game the players will feel they have been in it for weeks, months, years but when finally get out having lived a lifetime only an evening has passed IRL, and there real life will seem the unreal one.
Ooo, that’s an interesting question! MMOs do usually speed up the in-game timescale quite a lot. A day takes barely an hour in WoW, if I recall correctly.
Could certainly be interesting and a way for them to take years “beating” the challenge to get out only to find hours/day’s/weeks/months/years (pick time dilation of choice) have passed in real time. Narnia as I recall the Pevensies spent an entire lifetime only to find no time at all had passed (and regressed back to kids) when they emerged. Must have been weird for Lucy to have to go through puberty a 2nd time.
I was thinking of the practical challenge of their real body not dying of thirst while being kept in the simulation for years and that all adventure games seem to have and accelerated day cycle.
Much as I’d love to see log out = keep that body I can’t see Sam taking that route. If they remain in their altered forms on returning to real life it’d create a very different “real world” break point with possibly millions of sun elves, moon elves, gender swapped people running around after they beat the challenge/logged out to find their altered forms. Not to mention the massive manhunt for everyone involved with that tech and its possibilities, still an interesting concept and one I’d love to see explored.
I don’t know about a series, there will be 0 suspense to it cause we will all know what will happen, unless there’s an alternate plot twist I don’t see there being a series. However a 5-10 minute animation would be great, just showing the key parts to the comic series.
Consider the impact of that for a moment. . . . there are people out there who’d kidnap someone to MAKE their ideal guy/girl especially if you could compress time/control their experiences to break them to that role. Not to mention the criminal possibilities alter form to X, rob bank, restore birth form.
you have a point and i thought of that too surprisingly but then you got to consider if people would want this cause it could make a dream come true to most.
And winds up in an outfit that is even MORE impractical for her role of a ranger. Don’t know if you’ve ever tried hiking around in woods wearing those kind of heels (I haven’t) but I’ve heard they don’t work well. Same with the sunelf on the left she’s some kind of swordswoman yet her armour unlike the guy’s again leaves vital points exposed (chest/heart, abdomen/stomach). Rather annoying to see it on a TG themed comic actually.
SF has said many times that she thought of this BEFORE being aware of SAO. The idea of being trapped in a computer system has been around for decades and used countless times in media. Just glad SF will be exploring the TG side of it with this iteration. 🙂
One of the biggest mistakes in MTF anime has been the loss of the male memory as the female form takes over. Retaining the male memories and personality makes the change so much more compelling. Adjusting to accept the female attributes does make sense. Now does Leena wake up in the bed or does Hikaru wake up as Leena in female form?
I’d like to see that but as I said upthread that kind of massive change (male human to female moon elf) would create a major reality breakpoint as the world has to deal with them. Admitedly is one I’d like to see.
Will his personality/talents change based on his skill point allocation? Charisma affecting speech and barter and therefore his behavior, that kind of thing?
Interesting question but I don’t think so it works well in most games because you can just have extra options for dialgoue and the like but in a game where you are the character well what happens if you create a character who’s less intelligent than you? Do you suddenly start struggling with concepts you used to understand? Physical stats (str, dexterity) I can see but mental/social ones not so much especially with internal personality ones like whether she finds males attractive now. At least not without a prolonged time trapped in the game to adjust and even then it’d… Read more »
Miss Foxx, glad to have you back. Hopefully you are adjusting okay!
And now will a hardware issue pop up causing the body to react to the mental data changes for being a female in game while the user/host is male
Que SAO theme
i’m beting that’s wat he/she think’s Humm ~u~
And this is why I always choose male characters in games.
Not that I have a neural headset game to play with…

Either he can’t logout, or logging out will still have that body.

Here’s an idea i’d like to see, an animation that sums up fractured in 5 ish minutes.
that’s a bit too fast but a series of 5 animations would be awesome some of the comics do need animations as well

if you would change irl too just by playing such game i would 100%ly buy it
no kidding you could make the perfect guy or girl!!

The only way to make her sexier is higher heels😍
One believes that the high heels are coming 😀

I noticed this, wonder if she upgrades her clothes later on? But then Sam may have changed the design.
It’s an MMORPG, of course she gets new loot at some point. 🙂

awh was hoping he’d be a rogue so seduction could be part of his stealthiness/gear design :3
There is a rogue, it’s just not Hikaru. 😉
hey Sam who thought of this idea was it you and was it inspired by sao

That’s true … but doesn’t explain the Elves being so closely appearing to those in WoW.
Why would it need to explain that? WoW has nothing to do with the “trapped in a video game” genre.
The elves are way too similar in appearance of Blood elves and Night Elves. Even their names further the connection.
Yep ever heard of the movie Tron? From 1982 . Or Tron legacy from 2010
love it great movie i just wanted to know if Sam was gonna use it cause its old but got style
And going by her expression and actions in the preview pic I suspect she’s also a former man.
I am guessing a one character per class or race limitation in game. He will really want to play a moon elf/ranger or what ever this character is.
I’ve also seen comics where for “realism” the main character/s are only allowed to make one character and not allowed to change them afterwards.
I wonder what’s going to happen next

if it does work the way I said it would then i doubt that Hikaru will wake up as a moon elf but the female form would stay
Most of the one’s I’ve seen have the gender changed person retain their memories.
