00:00SWORD ART ONLINE
00:30The first person in line said they camped out for three days.
00:33Hey, but if you're a hardcore gamer, that's what you do.
00:36On today's episode of the MMO Stream, we'll be covering the internationally famous SWORD ART ONLINE, a.k.a. FAO.
00:44Up to now, none of the Nerve Fear software we've seen has taken advantage of the possibilities of the hardware.
00:49Hey, I'm off to practice now. See you later, okay?
00:53It's made by the inventor of Nerve Fear, Akihiko Kaiba.
00:56Heh, this is the VR MMO RPG that me and everyone else have been waiting for.
01:01The beta testers say it's incredible, but I wish I could have gotten one.
01:04The first testing was limited to only 10,000 copies.
01:08Those fans in line snapped them up, and online, the game sold out in seconds.
01:12Link, start!
01:28Link, start!
01:33Link, start!
01:39Link, start!
01:41Link, start!
02:01Hello world, I'm back!
02:11Oh, I told him, so it's his deal.
02:34Why don't we form a party?
02:36Well, I don't know, maybe.
02:37Oh, come on.
02:39It'll be great.
02:39Hey, bro, wait up!
02:50What's up?
02:51Whew!
02:54You act like you know your way around here.
02:56You were in the beta test, weren't you?
02:58Yeah.
02:59Cool.
03:00Today's my first day.
03:02So, could you give me some tips on the lower floors?
03:04Yeah, I don't know if...
03:06Aw, please, I'm begging you.
03:08Uh, look, my name's Klein.
03:10Good to meet you.
03:12All right, I'm Kirito.
03:18Right?
03:19The nuts!
03:21Kill me now!
03:22Oh, come on, seriously.
03:23You can't feel any pain.
03:26Oh, yeah, you're right.
03:27Sorry, habit.
03:28Remember what I said?
03:30The first move is the most important.
03:33Yeah, that's easy for you to say.
03:35But he won't stand still.
03:37If you do your initial motion right,
03:40and activate a sword skill at the right time,
03:44The system pretty much guarantees you'll always hit your target.
03:54Initial motion?
03:57Here's an easier way to look at it.
04:01Right after you start your move, wait for a little bit.
04:04When you feel the skills start to activate, drive it home.
04:08Drive it home?
04:09No.
04:35Yeah!
04:36Congratulations.
04:37That was nice, but that boar's about as weak as slimes in other games are.
04:46Holy crap, you gotta be kidding. I thought that thing was a mid-level boss.
04:50Yeah, as if.
04:54Whoa! Addictive, isn't it?
04:57I'll say.
05:00So these skills, there's a ton of them like blacksmithing and stuff, right?
05:05Huh? I heard the game has an unlimited number of them. All except for magic, though.
05:12An RPG without magic? That's a bold decision, man!
05:21So, what do you think? It's kinda fun to move your body as you fight, isn't it?
05:26Oh, hells yeah!
05:29You ready to move on?
05:31Yeah, man. Let's keep going.
05:35When I look around, I can't believe it. We're inside a game, bro!
05:48Whoever made it's a genius. This thing's amazing.
05:53Makes me glad I was born when I was, you know?
05:56It's not that big a deal.
05:57Cut me some slack. It's my first full dive.
06:00You never used the NerveGear before today, huh? This is your first time ever?
06:05Uh-huh. As soon as I got the money together, I rushed out and bought all the hardware to play SAO.
06:10Stood in line and scored one of the 10,000 hard copies. Guess you could say I was pretty lucky. Although, you, sir, were ten times as lucky getting to beta tested, hm?
06:21Dude, only a thousand people got the chance. Yeah, I guess I was lucky.
06:26Hey, mind if I ask how far you got in the beta?
06:29Uh, two months and I couldn't get further than Floor 8. Hm?
06:33But now, I think I can get there within a month. Easy.
06:37Sounds to me like you're really into this.
06:39Yeah, you could say that. During the beta test, SAO was the only thing on my mind. Day and night.
06:47In this world, a single blade can take you anywhere you want to go.
06:51And even though it's a virtual world, I feel more alive in here than I ever did in the real one.
06:58Anyway, you want to go do some more hunting?
07:04But you know it. But the thing is, I'm really hungry. I have to log out.
07:11Too bad the food you eat here only satisfies your hunger virtually.
07:14Yeah, for reals. That's why I ordered a pizza for 5.30.
07:18Wow, you're so prepared. You know it. Besides, the game can wait until I get my pizza on. I guess.
07:25Hey, I was gonna go meet up with some people I know from another game. I don't know what you're up to after this.
07:31So, if uh, you know, if you want, you can friend them and hang with us.
07:37No, it's cool if you don't want to. No pressure. I can always introduce you to them another time or something.
07:43Yeah, sorry. Thanks anyway. No way. I should be doing all the thanking.
07:50Hey, one of these days, I promise I'll pay you back for all your help. Virtually, that is.
07:55Yeah, right. Thanks for everything, man. Really. Guess I'll see you around then.
08:01If there's anything else you want to know, message me.
08:04Oh, sweet. I'll do that.
08:14Huh? Where'd the log out button go?
08:18It should be there.
08:19Hmm. Nope. It's not there.
08:22It should be at the bottom of the main menu.
08:30See? Not there.
08:31You're right. It's not.
08:33Oh, well. Today's what? The first day out of beta? It's bound to be some bugs.
08:38I bet the server people are freaking out right now.
08:41You will too.
08:43Huh?
08:44Look. It's 525.
08:48Oh my god! My teriyaki mayo pizza and gingerbread!
08:51Why don't you just contact the game master?
08:54Huh? Yeah, I did that, but nothing's happening. He's not picking up.
08:58Do you know if there's another way to log out of this thing?
09:01Hmm.
09:04No. Whenever a player wants to log out of SAO, the only way they can do it is by going through the menu.
09:10That can't be right. There's gotta be some other way out. Return! Log out! Escape!
09:22Told you so. And there was no emergency log out in the manual either.
09:28No way. You're kidding. I know. I'll just rip the nerve gear off my head.
09:33Don't bother. Once you're hooked in, you can't move your body in the real world anymore.
09:38The nerve gear intercepts all the commands you give from inside the game using an interface built into the rig.
09:45Seriously? So now we gotta wait until someone gets around to fixing the bug?
09:50That. Or until someone in the real world comes along and takes the nerve gear off us. That's it.
09:56I live alone. You?
09:59I got a mom and a sister. And I'm pretty sure they'll notice by dinner time and come look at me.
10:06You got a sister? How old she? What's she like?
10:08She's into sports and hates games and she's totally not your type, man.
10:13She wouldn't date a gamer if he's the last guy. Who cares? I wanna go!
10:19All right. Getting kicked in the balls doesn't hurt.
10:21Get serious. Don't you think this is weird?
10:24Yeah, totally. But it's just a bug.
10:27This isn't just a bug. If we can't log out, it's gonna cause some serious problems for the game.
10:35Yeah, I guess you're right.
10:38I wonder if the developers even know what's happening.
10:40Cause they could just shut down the server and log everyone out.
10:43But why haven't they made an announcement?
10:46Huh.
10:47Hmm.
10:48Hmmm.
10:49Hmm.
10:50Hmm.
10:54Hmm.
10:59Hmm.
11:08Do you know what's going on?
11:18Uh-uh. Someone forced to teleport.
11:29Look! Up there!
11:35Now what?
11:38What the hell is that thing?
12:01Is that the gay bastard? Why doesn't he have a face?
12:04Is this an event?
12:05I'm scared.
12:06Don't worry. It's just part of the opening ceremony.
12:10Attention, players. I welcome you to my world.
12:15What's he mean by that?
12:17My name is Akihiko Kayaba. And as of this moment, I am in control of this world.
12:26Seriously?
12:27I'm sure most of you have already noticed an item missing from your main menus. The logout button.
12:36Let me assure you, this is not a defect in the game. I repeat, this is not a defect. This is how Sword Art Online was designed to be.
12:47He's kidding, right?
12:48You cannot log yourselves out of SAO. And no one from the outside will be able to shut down or remove the nerve gear from your head.
12:57If anyone attempts to do so, a transmitter inside the nerve gear will discharge a microwave signal into your skull, destroying your brain and ending your life.
13:07What are you talking about?
13:08What are you talking about?
13:09Come on, that's such a mess.
13:10Let's get out of here.
13:11Let's get out of here.
13:12Hey, I can't get out.
13:16Are you listening to this crap? He's gotta be nuts, right? Right, Kirito?
13:22He's not. The transmitter signals in the headgear work just like microwaves. If the safety's disabled, it could fry your brain.
13:29Couldn't someone cut the power, or...?
13:31That won't work. The nerve gear's got an internal battery.
13:38This is crazy! It's totally crazy!
13:41Despite my warning, the families and friends of some of the players have attempted removing the nerve gear. An unfortunate decision to say the least.
13:50As a result, the game now has 213 less players than when it began. They've been deleted from both Aincrad and the real world.
14:00213? No way. I don't believe it!
14:04As you can see, international media outlets have round-the-clock coverage of everything, including the deaths.
14:11At this point, it's safe to assume the likelihood of a nerve gear being removed is minimal at best.
14:17I hope this brings you a little comfort as you try to clear the game.
14:22It's important you remember the following. There is no longer any way to revive someone within the game. If your HP drops to zero, your avatar will be deleted from the system. Forever.
14:38And the nerve gear will simultaneously destroy your brain.
14:43There's only one way for a player to escape now. You must clear the game.
15:03Right now, you're gathered on Floor 1, the lowest level of Aincrad. If you can get through the dungeon and defeat the boss, you may advance to the next floor.
15:14Defeat the boss on Floor 100, and you will clear the game.
15:18Clear? What's he talking about?
15:20Why should we believe any of the crap you're saying?!
15:23We can't clear all hundred floors. That's freakin' impossible.
15:28Even the beta testers never made it that high!
15:31Last but not least, I've placed a little present in the item storage of every player. Please, have a look.
15:44A mirror?
15:51Klein!
16:01What is it?
16:04You okay, Kirito?
16:05Yeah.
16:06Wait, who are you?
16:09I'm me. Who are you?
16:12Who are you?!
16:14Son of a- you're a guy?!
16:16You're not 17!
16:17Wait a second.
16:19Is that you, Klein?
16:20Kirito?!
16:21Kirito!
16:23But how?
16:25The scan.
16:26There's a high-density signal device inside the NerveGear rig.
16:30It can see what my face looks like.
16:32But how's it know my height and body type?
16:35When you first put the NerveGear on, it had to do this calibration thing.
16:39It asked you to touch your body all over like this.
16:42Remember?
16:43Oh, yeah.
16:44You're right.
16:45That's where it got our physical data.
16:47But this is...
16:49What's the point?
16:50Why would anyone do this to us?
16:53I think he's about to tell us.
16:56Right now, you're probably wondering why.
16:59Why would Akihiko Kayaba, developer of Sword Art Online and NerveGear, do this?
17:06Ultimately, my goal was a simple one.
17:09The reason I created Sword Art Online was to control the fate of a world of my design.
17:17Kayaba.
17:17As you can see, I have achieved my goal.
17:25This marks the end of the tutorial and the official launch of Sword Art Online.
17:31Players, I wish you the best of luck.
17:33I wish you the best of luck.
17:34I wish you the best of luck.
17:38I am ready to fight you.
17:41It's not a game.
18:09It's real.
18:11Akihiko Kayaba created a virtual world.
18:16He designed the NerveGear rig.
18:18The man's a genius.
18:20I've been a fan of his for a long time, so I know.
18:25Everything he just said is the truth.
18:27If I die in the game, I'll die in real life.
18:32My god!
18:39Let me out of here!
18:42Let me out of here!
18:44I can't stay here!
18:46Stop pushing!
18:49You have to let us go!
18:51Seriously?
18:53We just got to play a game!
18:56Come on, Klein!
18:58Let me out of here!
19:01Okay, listen.
19:02I'm heading out right now for the next village.
19:05I want you to come.
19:06Huh?
19:07If what he said is true, and I think it is, the only way we're gonna survive in here is by
19:12making ourselves as strong as possible.
19:14In an MMORPG, the money you can earn, the XP, once the game starts up, there's only so much of that stuff to go around.
19:23Look, the fields around the town of Beginnings are gonna be hunted clean soon.
19:27If we head to the next village now, we'll have an easier time collecting cash and points.
19:31Don't worry, I know all the paths and places we should avoid.
19:35Even if I'm level one, I can get there easy.
19:37Thanks, but you know those friends of mine I was telling you about?
19:43I stood in line for a whole night to buy this, and they're back at the plaza somewhere, and I can't leave them.
19:58If it were just Klein, but two more, or even one more...
20:03Sorry.
20:05Can't ask a guy I just met to risk his life for a bunch of strangers, can't I?
20:09So don't worry about me. Get your ass to the next village.
20:14I'll be fine. Last game I played, I ran a guild, so I'm more than prepared.
20:18And with all the stuff you taught me, I'll get by, no sweat.
20:23Okay. If that's what you want, I'll get going.
20:27But if you're in a jam, message me, okay?
20:29Sure.
20:30I'll be seeing you, Klein. Take care.
20:33Kirito!
20:35I...
20:40Hey, Kirito.
20:43Uh...
20:44You look better like this.
20:48Way cooler than your avatar.
20:51Yeah, and I think that scruffy face fits you ten times better, too.
21:09I've got this. I can do this.
21:18This world can't beat me.
21:21I've got this. I can do this.
21:32This world can't beat me.
21:34I will survive.
21:40I can do this.
22:24Here's my heart, and I'll see you in my dreams.
22:32It's a dream, but my body doesn't matter.
22:42I'll see you in a small想像, and I'll spread it out.
22:48I'm weak to you, I'm weak to you
22:52I'm strong to the world
22:57I'm weak to the heart of my dreams
23:01I'm so永遠 to
23:03I wanna always be with you
23:07I'll give you everything I have
23:18Next time, beat her
