So a few random questions that don't quite fit anyone specific have came to me from several sources. As were asked these questions we will compile this list with answers, with the permission of those asking the question of course. The goal is to keep general random questions of the lore in check!
Will we be including the Incarnate System? This is the same system that Kirito and Asuna used instinctively to cancel paralysis and even delay their own deaths during the SAO arc and resist the gravity spell in ALO. (It's pretty much confirmed that SAO and Accel World take place in the same timeline or at least share tech, including Full Dive tech and a system like what's in SAO's Alicization arc... including a full functional Incarnate System).
We will not be immediately utilizing any portion of the Incarnate System, neither positive or negative aspects of it. This will be possibly implemented in the future, but it isn't something players would have control over for a long long time. More to possibly come on this answer eventually though.
Will System Ghosts (like Griselda and apparently Sachi) exist?
At this time, no. That doesn't mean we will never allow it, but if someone dies and wants to give some parting farewells shoot me a message and we can see what we do about making it happen.
Will we meet some version of Yui?
This could be double sided question. Will you ever meet Yui? No. Will there every be some kind of advanced AI in the game that breaks free from its default tasks and enter our world? Totally possible, give this one time like most of these questions and stuff will start happening randomly. If you see any lost girls in the woods, don't take her in as your own and expect her to have master controls over the system though!
How much Kayaba can we expect?
More. Much much more. In the actual story of SAO he is the villain. The interesting part of his villain role is that hes actually not present for a vast majority of the story. We want to make him more of a known game master. He will make debut red carpet appearances from time to time. He will be known to be Kayaba, and not impersonating a player like cannon. Expect him to be leading up to being the 100th floor boss as he angers the community from time to time.
