About this game
Vol. 1: Rebirth takes place three years after .hack//QUARANTINE ended.
One year after "The Twilight Incident", a huge fire started in CC Corp destroying most of the original "The World" servers and forcing them to shut the game down soon after.

A new version of "The World", called "The World R:2", was created one year after the fire.
You play as Haseo, a PKK (Player Killer Killer) searching for Tri-Edge, the player killer who Data Drained his friend into a coma.
The player meets reliable friends in Gaspard, Silabus, Atoli, Kuhn and many others later in game.
The battle system is still real-time but with mostly hack and slash action.
Also, when the player lands a certain number of combos on an enemy and they glow blue and yellow you can perform special Rengeki moves.
Rengeki moves get more powerful as you progress through the game.
The player also has a morale gauge in the top right corner of the screen.
When the gauge is full, the player can perform an Awakening attack with help from their party members.
There are two types of Awakening attacks, Demon and Beast Awakening.
The Demon Awakening lets you unleash powerful magic attacks without using SP (Skill Points).
The Beast Awakening makes the player invulnerable to physical attacks for a set period of time while enhancing their physical abilities.
New features added are guilds, arena battles and weapon customization.
Guilds are groups people join for various reasons.
The player can join at least two in this game.
Arena battles are basically two teams of three characters battling each other for fun or for championships.
Weapon customization can be done with items the player gets on travels or buys in shops to add elements or status effects to their weapons.
About PlayStation 2
The PlayStation 2 (2000) is the best-selling game console in history, with a library exceeding 9,000 titles that spans everything from budget shovelware to genre-defining classics. That massive volume means PS2 collecting is accessible and affordable overall, but a handful of low-print-run RPGs and cult titles have become genuinely expensive — a common pattern once a console's original audience grows up with disposable income.

Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for .hack//G.U. vol. 1//Rebirth, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation 2 titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
