Akihiko shrugged, went home and blew the dust off the box, illustrated in the style of a 1950s American Jungle Adventure Novel like Tarzan, plugs the suspiciously-clean UsefulNotes/PlayStation One Console it into his room’s television, and shouts “I’ll be right down!” in response to being called for dinner...

“I beat you, old friend. I finally beat you” he bitterly chuckled at the ancient UsefulNotes/PlayStation One console, from which the drums still mysterious beat as he shouts “Link Start.”

* Kirito's already a lot like Franchise/{{Spiderman}}, so they might as well go the full {{Expy}} route and make Kirito's father a researcher who was killed because [[HeKnowsTooMuch he found out about Kayaba's plans years before they could be implemented.]]

* Creator/SonyPicturesImageworks: They've made visual effects and motion capture work for films such as the ''Franchise/SpiderMan'' films (including its ContinuityReboot back in 2012 and ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming''), ''Film/TheMatrixReloaded'', ''Film/TheMatrixRevolutions'', ''Hotel Transylvania'', ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014'', ''WesternAnimation/ThePolarExpress'', ''WesternAnimation/Beowulf2007'', and ''Film/EdgeOfTomorrow''.

* Creator/IndustrialLightAndMagic: They've been around since its 1975 founding by Creator/GeorgeLucas. ILM is famous for their work on the ''Franchise/StarWars'' film series, most of the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse films (such as the ''Film/IronMan'' films, ''Film/TheAvengers2012'', ''Film/DoctorStrange2016'', ''Film/AntMan1'', ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld'', ''Film/ThorRagnarok'', ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'', ''Film/BlackPanther2018'', and ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar''), ''Film/BackToTheFuture'', and the ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' series (which also centers on pirates). Not only that, but they pushed the boundaries of the use of CGI animation and [=iMocap=] systems. Given their extensive experience in on-set practical and visual effects, it would be no surprise that ILM might be involved.

[[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedOdyssey By 2018, the "Animus" as refined by Layla Hassan, with but a drop of blood or strand of hair, is not only able to re-create decades-long and fully-accurate simulations of entire lands and eras down to the last blade of grass, but populate it with a cast of artificial intelligence that are able to intuitively and accordingly react to the user's choices, even if it contradict actual historical events (much like how Yui is able to become self-aware through persistent interaction with others)]]. One can surmise that stealing a unit and reverse engineering it to simulate a world thematically structured around a rough set of European Fantasy cultural-and-linguistic-templates (much like how Aletheia the Isu scientist created interactive "memories" of Elisium, Hades and Atlantis that Alexios the Eagle Bearer can understand by using a Greek Cultural "template") is what allowed a disgruntled young Templar called Akihiko Kayaba to so quickly develop the massive 100-Level HeroicFantasy world of LightNovel/SwordArtOnline by 2022, so soon in his mid-20's after graduating from university. In fact, it can be surmised that [[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedValhalla the simulations of Asgard and Jotunheim extracted from the genetic memories of Eivor Varinson in 2020]] is the template that allowed RECT to so quickly develop the mythical and distinctly Norse epic world of Alfheim online by 2023.
