Since it has been a few question, and I already ended up writing a bit, so I made a topic so other people wouldn't need to look after them, because comments 'disappears after awhile on another page). So, here is the correct storyline... Of ALL media. Otherwise you can simply look for only the anime in the comments. It's possible I have made a few mistakes with the newers series that isn't so popular and feel free to correct me, or we can discuss why we doesn't agree with eachother.

Everything is divided into categories to make it easier. The categories is of course the different ‘world’s’

If something contains spoilers, spoiler tag it.
If you wanna ask something to about any of the stories, I'll do my very best, otherwise I think that there are a few others that can help when I can't.

Nobody is really sure about that, since it won't be release until septhember 30 (srry, I wrote the wrong day, I'll change that)
It seems though that it is another work done by Rei Izumi and Tatsuya Hamazaki, but it seems aswell that it has NOT been released in japan yet and is going straight to USA. Which is indeed kind of weird since the japaneses always are first with .hack//...

Since it is about the legend of thw twilight bracelet, it may just be some kind of information book. I don't know much more for the moment since it hasn't been released before, but I'll keep looking, maybe someone else knows?

I was just wondering .. is it really chronoligically correct?
I'm talking about the AI buster novel (at least 1st, second wasn't that interesting so i don't remember those stories that good).

It would make AI Buster be the first story in The World setting. Just correct me if I'm wrong, haven't got anything to do with the series for a while.

That's the problem, the second volume involves Rena's first adventure's in the world and that's the reason why .hack//AI buster has been places were it has. But I bugged my to, maybe I should put vol one and too on diffrent places? Much becuase there were not orginaly meant to be a second vol of the serie, so many people are acctually talking about AI buster and AI buster 2 as diffrent works.

The problem is that MAL has the AI buster as a serie, and I placed them as one to not make confusions. But If I Made a sidenote?

by my experience here's how the storyline goes:

.hack AI buster
.hack AI Buster 2 ( not sure if all stories from it or just first few ) - before Kite started playing "The World"
.hack 1st four games - the ".hackers"
.hack xxxx ( x fourth ) - manga ( as 4 games, the .hackers )
.hack another birth - the ".hackers" from BlackRose's perspective
.hack Liminality - anime about real-life investigation of coma players ( 1 episode per one of first 4 .hack games )
.hack SIGN - after .hackers [ Tsukasa ]
.hack roots - R:2 - Haseo & Twilight Brigade
.hack GU
