Both protagonists are naive, well-meaning people who by chance end up engaged to a member of the same-sex due to long-held tradition which somehow end up in a duel in both titles. Both seem unimpressed by unfair traditions. Both show strong friendship with their engaged but seem averse to attributing a romantic context to their relationship. Both deal with aristocracy, fighting against abuse of power, and the royal uniform of one of the protagonists is rather similar to the dueling uniform of the other.

Both are cyberpunk titles that have a similar protagonist who holds an intensely introspective and diffident persona. Both of these protagonists struggle with issues of identity in an online environment. Both are found trapped in cyberspace to a large extent. Both deal with a cyber-entity that is omniscient and holds questionable motives. Elements of .Hack//SIGN seem directly inspired by Lain and both incorporate an emotional bond between the protagonist and a special friend with even a brief scene touching on this in .Hack//SIGN which appears to be directly influenced by one of Lain's scenes.
