We feel Dot Hack has far better graphics than PSO. The English version calls the sword 'Lumina'.Many have compared Dot Hack to Phantasy Star Online Episode I and II (PSO) on the Gamecube. This name is probably referencing Reigandō (霊巌洞, 'Spirit Rock Cave'), which was a temporary home for the legendary Miyamoto Musashi (which the titular character is obviously based on). Lastly, the large sword he retrieves from the tower is known as レイガンド ('Reigando') in the Japanese version. The technique used to absorb enemy abilities in the Japanese version is called ゲット・イン (literally 'get in') while the English version is called 'assimilation'. In the Japanese version, the sword given to him in the beginning is called らいこうまる (らいこう is the Japanese word for 'lightning', and まる or 丸 is a suffix that can be added to names.) while in English it is called 'Fusion'. The names of the two swords Musashi uses are different in each version. In the Japanese version, this dialogue isn't censored and Musashi identifies the bottles as alcoholic and asks if the owner is drunk. The bottles on the ground clearly resemble liquor bottles, and the restaurant owner's face is blushing red due to obviously being drunk. When Musashi finds the restaurant owner in the ruins under the restaurant for the first time, he notices 'soda pop bottles' on the ground and asks if the owner 'had a bit too much caffeine' after talking to him. Several of the members of the Empire names were altered due to this. All names and references to alcohol were changed to represent soft drinks instead. The Thirstquencher Empire was known as the ル・コーアル帝国 (ル・コーアル is an anagram of the Japanese word for alcohol, which is アルコール and 帝国 simply translates to 'empire') in the Japanese version.
