I must admit to not following too much the thread (too much discussion about personal preferences, NTR hate vs love boys, debat about the game not following the LN / Anime...), but I have been wondering if the dev explained why Yui isn't in there. I mean, lore wise there no way she would caght up on what was hapenning in game, or how Asuna was acting strange and pointing it out to Kirito.
Not wanting to start a debat or asking for rational, just curious if he stated his position (and if yes, what is explanation was).
