Today Japanese developer CyberConnect2 released another video responding to a popular question about the .hack series.

Specifically, the video stars developer’s outspoken President Hiroshi Matsuyama as he talks about the possibility of making a .hack MMORPG.

Matsuyama-san mentions that it’s not impossible, but stressed the relevance of the fact that one of the charming points of the series was recreating an offline story set within a MMORPG, instead of simply putting players into an actual online environment.

While he believes that simply making another MMORPG wouldn’t be very interesting, Matsuyama-san concludes by mentioning that ultimately a lot of what the developer does is determined by the fans’ requests.

You can check out the whole video below and hear what Matsuyama-san has to say.

If you want to hear more from Matsuyama-san, you can also listen to what he said about the possibility of remastering the original .hack//Infection, .hack//Mutation, .hack//Outbreak, and .hack//Quarantine for PS3, and another video focusing on the chance of seeing a Bleach game made by CyberConnect 2.

Personally, considering just how good the story of Final Fantasy XIV is, I think it’d be possible to merge storytelling and online interaction. Yet, to be completely honest, I’m perfectly happy with .hack remaining a single-player JRPG series, as long as we get a new one. It’s about time.

Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
