I'd say the Dot Hack GU Trilogy is about as close to perfect as you can get. The graphics for the time were incredible, and different yet somehow the ascetic felt like the extension of dot hack roots it was supposed to be. The story was incredibly well done, the character development was paced perfectly. No characters really felt like they were there just for the sake of being there, the combat was flawless and fun and the pay off to everything was done perfectly. Even the voice acting in English was incredible, relying on the best talent at the time to make something amazing. I honestly can't think of anything wrong with GU as a trilogy. I remember when I beat the first game and found out the second one was still a ways off, I played it again, all the way through, this time more thoroughly than the first and still couldn't wait to play the second one, and I even started doing that with the second one until I was surprised to find the third one as one of my gifts for my birthday that year. I also played the third one twice, the second time, not carrying over data just to see what the difference was. 6 months later, I played them all again and enjoyed it just as much as before. I would say honestly, that dot hack GU is not only the best anime game trilogy of all time, but arguably, one of the best RPG series on the PS2. I can't think of anything to match.
