>>585171591VGL roster poll is finished with 31 votes. The late annoucement of Eve 2 on steam had a big impact on the non Rance character poll. Kano went from not even being a roster suggestion to overwhelmingly winning the category with Retia's debatable performance as a goalkeeper leading to her getting dropped.
>>585172578>to help a friendI don't think you should marry your friends as a favor, but otherwise okay.
>>585174105>all of the ones I wanted to see are below the linemann...
>>585174105Now for the main poll and this had a lot of changes with JAPAN unsurprisingly getting a big push from the steam release. Our five medals are Rance, Kanami, Rick, Kayblis and Shizuka with Lia narrowly missing out. Suzume, Senhime, Isoroku (despite being the last person to qualify from the preliminary poll), Kouhime and TOSH all made the team. Two experienced defenders in Patton and Kamilla have lost their spots on the team with Rizna, Sheila and Tone also getting dropped. When Rance 03 was released in English we voted for Patton to be renamed as Helman Bvll but his popularity since then has dropped. I'll probably put him in next VGLs poll as I'm Your Sister, which was his name when he was a starting CB for the last decade. Now there was a tie for the final roster spot on the team between Hornet and Kenshin. So there is one more vote. Who should be on the team? Hornet or Kenshinhttps://s.surveyplanet.com/pu2ownzg
>>585175093Always thought Helman bull is a terrible name, while I'm your sister is pretty iconic.
I missed you hannies
Welcome back
WE ARE BACK
Kanami would never keep a server in PHP
Ssulal!She doesn't care about a soccer game!She can have her own game! With henderopa, and gal monsters!
>>585180893What coding language do the Gates always joke about using?
>>585181324Ssulal!She beats up monsters weaker than her!
Never be game over, niwas.
>>585181324Cute >>585175093I feel sad for Rizna
>>585181324Me on the right
is there a sengoku rance commander tier list for a first time playthrough? not sure who to invest in and what specifically makes them good and which skills they need.
>>585184428You're an elite pastry girl?
oh heywe're aliveI was about to post about finally getting Tilde's card in x and noticing it saying that while she had a lot of relationships she only had sex one time before quest right as the outage hit.it was a good post. here's a bad post about it because I'm still not happy about it.Imagine what we could've had. What a waste.
>>585186216I'm a faceless mob who explodes when I see monster girls.
>>585184945I don't think you need a tier list. It's pretty easy to get a feel for things through gameplay. You're also not going to miss out on "essential" units playing normally.
>>585172578>>585174267Just think about the epic Shang Tsung dome Riche must have given him as thanks for saving her sister afterward, though.
>>585186384Me too, Hanny.
>>585186902Or the Silent 3P>>585186338My slutty dog
>>585175093Voted for Hornet
>>585175093Voted for Ssulal

Also, another X thing I just remembered that was kinda funny and strange.Hornet has a unique but brief exchange with body double Kayblis in Shangrila, but nothing of note in the final battle in from the sea or great invasion. Combined with Am-sama's unusual dialogue in Shangrila it really makes me think it was designed before they decided to cut stuff. Which is a shame. Also the wiki is wrong, it says you can only do Hornet rescue on turn 7 or 8 with 7 being B or C routes but I rescued Hornet on turn 5. Maybe it's because I double tapped Leazas 1 to fight Hawzel and Saizel then abandoned to get Silky which made it confused?
>>585193178You only needed to get Miki and do Leazas 1 in order to do her quest.
>>585193178The wiki is listing the deadline not when it's first possible.
>>585190904
>>585195226I see, so I did it as fast as possible this run then.>>585195329Using Miki as an example it has an at turn 6 or earlier added onto it, with the quest in the quest list saying turn 4-6. Hornets just says turn 7 or 8 with the quest list saying 7-8. It makes it seem like you can't do it any earlier than that rather than that being the deadline only.
>>585196685
>>585198074
>>585199456Last one I do.
>>585200407Rance isn't fast. 120 Speed is way to high.
>>585200987>implying pokemon stats have ever made sense
>>585201203They still adhere to a play style. Rance is more a bulky sweeper than a fast one.
>>585201551Nah, Rance is someone who tries to overwhelm people with fast and sneaky attacks both in large scale combat and duels.
>>585201850No, he's more of a hit them really hard once. Rick would overwhelm you with fast attacks but Rance would use fewer stronger attacks that you can't guard against.
>>585196685Hornet should be considered a high tier legendary.600 total stat points falls a bit short. She should have 680 points like Mewtwo, Lugia, etc. I'll make her slower and ramp up both of her defenses since she has an invincibility field.
>>585190904I made a half joke one for best girl.
>>585202158Rance is Haxorus/Rampardos, basically. Maybe Bisharp
>>585207205You need to leave room for Kayblis who would have a higher BST and Little Princess/Goddeses like ALICE who would be even higher than that. Hornet probably has to be lower-mid 600s, Kayblis upper 600s. 700s is where you break into the Little Princess/God tier.
>>585198074Sen should have a tank build. Her main gimmick in the games is 'tenacity,' so she should have skills like Sturdy and moves like Endure. Also Follow Me, Rage Powder or Ally Switch to protect allies and Reversal to do high damage when her HP is low.
>>585207661I think Ursaluna is a good baseline. Take away some defense put it in speed. Maybe had a few more stat points so he's 70-80 range. Some range where he can operate in both Trick and Tailwind. Can outspeed things with scarf depending on the nature and EVs. High HP, Strong Physical attacks, you can use nature/items/EVs to make really slow or deceptively fast.
>>585207891Kayblis should have 720 total base stats.The demon kings could have the stats of unobtainable mons like Eternatus in its boss form (1100+)
>>585208621Could also give her Regenerator, she does have that healing skill in Sengoku. Would make her and very offensive tank. She doesn't take hits as well as other tanks but she can deal damage and be swapped out and brought back in.
>>585208996I don't think you need to break the 1k range. 780 is fine. That's Mega Rayquaza, Mega Metweo. Also the Primals. What happens if you take already very powerful legendaries and juice them even more.
>>585200407I don't think Rance has an oppressively intimidating aura canonically, that would be something like Rick in Red Reaper mode.
>>585210320Yeah, defiant would make more sense would it not?
>>585210850Also I wonder if moody would make sense. Random stat games and drops to add unpredictability.
>>585210993I don't know anything about Pokémon but maybe something that was representative of his predilection for winning by guile would be appropriate, too. Maybe in place of No Guard? He's not Thoma, he's not supposed to be a wall on two legs.
>>585211383There is a skill called guts that increases attack when a status is applied. Usually players use an item that applies a status like burn. No guard is fine though I think. It lets him use moves that are normally high risk high reward with no risk. Trade-off being the same can be done against him. Makes him more offensive.
>>585211924Actually guts does have some interesting if you consider Sill. The burn status does damage ever turn, So Rance gradually gets chipped down. And you obviously have Sill as support keeping him topped off. He's able to go for riskier plays with Sill backing him up.
>>585209324>I don't think you need to break the 1k rangeFor a demon king I think it's worth it
Boy I sure hope nobody rapes little princess

>>585171591How protected are Alicesoft System Engine files? Been thinking about trying to decomp Sengoku Rance and use it as rebuild chaff into other 4X games, but TADA's proprietary engine eludes me a bit, documentation doesn't help
>>585181324What is this?
>>585256410would be funny if alicesoft's own engine protects them from ai slop since it's not part of any training data.
>>585261710I kneel before TADA's superior programming skills and foresight
>>585262764TADA wasn't the one who made the systems
>>585263043You dare besmirch the name of the great Hanny King?!?!
>>585264097don't bully the programmers
>>585264723*whip whip*
>Already forgetting minor story details about Rance 01, VI, IX, and Quest>Also forgetting some of the X spoilers I sawCan't wait to replay the whole series before X is out. It's almost going to be like playing it for the first time again.
>>585272061very proud of my ability to mind hole spoilers and major plot points of games I anticipate to play or replay. Managed to to mind hole aerith's death when I decided to play FFVII to completion for the first time.
>>585256410Not protected at all. System 3 and 4 have an official SDK and later versions have been reverse engineered for yearshttps://haniwa.technology/sloppa might not be so good at it because there's no reference for their programming language + it looks similar to C/C++/Java but is not the same, which will surely cause rampant hallucinations.
>>585256572A video game
>>585286823I hate video games
>>585291750Wow, I didn't know Alicesoft employees posted here. Welcome, I'm honored.
>>585295130That's right. It is I, the singular Alicesoft employee in existence. I'm here to tell you about the Rance AI companion we will be producing.
>>585297081Sure you joke, but Sill Simulator would blow up with women extremely hard.The average AI chatbot for women is basically just Rance but more edgy.
>>585291750How can we make you like video james
Leazish people don season dey food.
>>585285391Why Nikou always looks like an older Rantarou?Also Ran and Shibata disappearing from the series after Sengoku feels wrong. Them and 3G are literally the caretakers of Kou..
>>585278097I will cry a lot when TADA-san dies. Knowing that I will never be able to thank him for making the franchise which I enjoyed lots and shaped me into the carefree man I am today.Wish I could at least mail him.
>Quest Caloria doesn't have insect sprites like she did in VI It's unplayable.
Kanami!
>>585306587you can message him
>>585306753Quest was too low budget a game to include different sprites, sorry.
>>585311240It's has different face portraits just like Sengoku.
Actually, I'm all for decomping Rance X to at least add mods for characters who should've been in there since it was the last game.
>>585315932It's been decompiled for ages. There's nothing AI can do that wasn't already possibleit's basically the translation holding everything back, there's little point in english players modding a version they can't read, and the Japanese players would email the mod to TADA first and get a permission slip from the company, which is an obvious barrier to entry.

>>585324620Chaos can pass the captcha?
What was the reaction back then when Rance X Part 2 got datamined/discovered?
>>585332508There was a lot of hype because datamining also revealed Part 3 and the statues used to unlock god's door. Which are cut content and don't do anything, respectively.
>>585285391She's too good for kentarou.Miki is too good for kentarou too.Actually, life is too good for kentarou. Why couldn't we kill the useless newspaper man?
>>585315932It's already possible to mod Rance X, I'm too dumb to do it but the tools are there.
>>585334741What?I thought people hated Part 2Is it not true at first? And it's something that happened later on?
Vivid!
>>585342687People didn't had any reason to dislike it at a datamining stage, the biggest problem of part 2 and Rance X is general is incompleteness
>>585309319How?
>>585344957He is on twitter
>>585342687Neither is the case. Part 2 isn't as liked as Part 1 but it being disliked is not the main opinion. >>585332508Trying to find statueslots of pirate El posting Disappointment about no sex cgs for certain girls
>>585332508The people wanted Warg
>>585347519i want her to sit on my face
>>585358880>sample Good pic though
>>585358880Most of the Zethian generals in KR have such flamboyant battle sprites.Saias, Alex, and Nagi come to mind.
>>585362923I wish Chizuko kept her sparkly outfit. The dress was worse.
>>585359920Not that niwa but sometimes the image is way too large to fit 4chan's size limitations if it is downloaded in its original form.
>>585345192handle prezu.He's still active there? Can you DM or send messages to people on twitter without paying ?
>>585369550https://twitter.com/hanny_kingHe is semi-active, he makes a posts once in a while and then goes away for a week or two, i don't know how DM's in twitter works right now because i don't have an accHe also has a blog, he reads comments there and replies sometimes.https://hannylaboratory.blogspot.com/
>>585369550Yes
\|∵|/
>>585347519Warg is supposed to be a reference to another AS character, right? Or is that just her KR incarnation?
>>585342687I haven't even unlocked part 2 yet
>>585342687I don't remember it being hated nor is it hated nowI think the main complaint is cut content which is a flaw even the developers probably acknowledge, the game took forever and was even delayed on top of thatAlso all the unused text combined with the length of the game led to essentially fake leaks, people were datamining text you don't encounter in the game when nobody had finished it yet, so there was a lot of speculation
>>585379176>the game took forever and was even delayed on top of thatit wasn't that much time since IX though? They just had to finish before TADA retired.
>>585379576I think it was the other way around, TADA could only retire once it was finished and once it was finished he had nothing left to do. TADA wasn't even that old for a retiree when he became "semiretired", at 51 years old. I doubt he'd rush it out the door to retire, more likely it's financial pressure that forced the deadline, can't exceed the budget too muchI think I misremembered about the delay but the wiki makes it sound like it was internally delayed because of other games, and was supposed to come out 2 years earlier
I remember the time very well and there absolutely was no feel of it being delayed especially since we got magnum 2012, 01 2013, IX 2014, Evenicle and 03 in 15
>>585364382She gets got real bad if you don't recruit her.
>>585381740oh no
>>585377519X Warg is a reference to Cyborg 003
>>585379576>>585380674The retirement happened because the failure of DaiteikokuX was slotted for 2016 but that didn't happenedX basically just not progressing at all during 2015/2016 but he reassured it's not daiteikoku situation
>>585393741He was brought back into more direct hands on role because of Daiteikoku
>>585393741How could that have affected anything? Daiteikoku released in 2011The ten-game plan was in place for a while but that's even before Rance Quest came out. Surely Rance X was only a concept at that time
ngl, she looked cuter in the previous games, here she looks to be around her actual age
>>585390043I somehow managed to dodge Gandhi when I first played KR recently.Her fate just stuck out to me because the rest of the elite four don't get it anywhere near as bad as she does. Papaya jumps off her tower, Magic dies fighting you, Nagi fucks off to the Monster Realm.>>585391180Shizuka's harem sprite is the best, in my opinion.
>>585397920That hat looks really dumb.
>>585397920a few look weird in sengoku
>>585391180I wonder if there was a single niwa who chose Rafalia over Arlcoate.
>>585398854Me
>>585399145why tho
TENACITYENACITY
>>585397920Is that supposed to be a bad thing?
>>585398854Raphtalia?
>>585403346Well, a part of her thing was that she didn't age during her stay in Genbu's castle.Also come on, she definitely did look cuter in the previous games.
>>585404892Her actual age is in the 50s iirc. Which is not even close. She's also supposed to be busty like Maris. Mature women vibe.
>>585399220She's ambitious in a funny way. Arlcoate's style of characters do absolutely nothing for me.
>>585405704>She's also supposed to be busty like Maris. Mature women vibe.She didn't give off that vibe in VI imo, in 5D she looked even younger, but I guess that could be attributed to the artstyle. I assumed her actual age to be like 16 or 17 + 30 so I was going off of that.
>>585406893Not that niwa but everyone looks so soft in VI.
>>585397920Most everyone looks older in SR. I think it gives it a more serious feeling, like some kind of anti-chibi style.Same reason I dislike Rance Quest's art only in reverse.
>>585406893She looks completely flat there compared to SR.
>>585412918This niwa needs his girls to have PIEro sized titties to notices them
The weird thing is that apparently big tits were considered provincial and low class here in the west until quite recently. Apparently Japan wasn't terribly fond of them either because they thought it ruined the silhouette of a kimono if a woman was too busty. Previous generations had some bizarre taste in women.
But the strangest people are definitely those african tribes which don't think much of exposing them. Just...how.
>>585413261not that niwa but the best ones always do.
https://files.catbox.moe/ycd1pq.pngtilde deserved a ranceX bad end or training scene its not fair. she wasn't even in any of the bad end cgs like the one where kaybliss violates all of rance's girls.
>>585415339This is an anti ntr general
>>585414714Tall, curvy and serious is where it's at.
>>585415339Don't pull on my dog's tail

>>585427036Gacha?
>>585427761Yes
>>585428026I like the look of some characters better in Aigis than how Orion draws them in the Beat Gacha.

>>585427957Oh shit Hornet's playing Monarchs
>>585175093Has Leazas been dethroned by Japan?
>>585181324How far done is this?
>>585394258Rance X as an ending was planned somewhere after Sengoku RanceLike Part 2 is already planned since thenThe rancelets, shizuka in part 2, etc
>>585432282And in Rance VI Alice Mansion (which was removed by Arunaru) had Tada said 10 will be the finale
>>585432375>which was removed by ArunaruWas it? I could've sworn that you could still view all the sprites that included Miki and Kentarou.
>>585434662Mankograbber removed the dev comments
anyone have a transparent version of this, or well any transparent rance gif that loops really? /v/ the musical is streaming tomorrow and some madlad made a custom metal Flower Man parody about Rance with an actual guitar, and I can't fucking find any suitable gifs to hype people up on it
>>585435992Link the parody.
>>585437329https://gofile.io/d/izIEMaMd
>>585438667Thanks
>>585438890Thanks for the Shizuka!
>>585391180Even now, Rafalia just taints Tilde for me.I wish Leila was more popular than her.
>>585391180Haruein was so erotic in KR
What's stopping the monsters from rounding up a bunch of Gates monsters and making them research advanced weaponry to fight against the humans?
>>585445987This is true
>>585449254most of them don't have the brains needed to do such a thing.
>>585449254They already have satellites
>>585173013Not bad.
>>585181906BASIC
>>585278097>which will surely cause rampant hallucinations.You can mitigate this by forcing the models to verify their changes by actually booting the game. The OpenAI models in particular are great at this.
>>585332508Blue Reset.
>>585459768Yeah it was all meme reset and brown El-chan edits
>>585428270Rare example of being able to see a Rance girl's legs and feet.
>>585435665>>585432375My eternal wish is for somebody to translate the Alice's Mansions that MG cut. Anyone with an LLM subscription could easily do it for a few dollars.
>>585461292Funny thing is that all the previous gachas portrayed Hornet as being barefeet, granted her outfit is different as the one she regularly wears.
>can increase Rocky's level cap without using itemsGame is good now. Zeth characters only first run, no Leazish/Nipponese peasants.
>>585461887Feliss cute
>>585461976I never triggered that event. I got him super late. As far as I know, the game gives no hint for how to recruit him.
>>585464636Even if you get him early, outside of few quests (males only, low levels only) he's still not really useful gameplay-wise. Sachiko and Kou are just superior, and you get them early as well.
>>585474450That's one of my big problems with Quest. The cast is huge but you have no reason to use like 80% of it. Maybe it was better in Quest 1.0?
>>585474920there was no option to skip a turn in battle in Quest 1.0 so you ran out of skills quicker
>>585474920No, the cast was already huge, and people didn't get passive exp back then, leaving you with just as many underleveled weak characters unless you went out of your way to level them.>>585475323It taught you to not need those wait skills. Only class I'd ever use them on is healers. Everyone else has a better choice.
>>585175093We are missing the best musketeer
>>585464636Is there anything in the game that encourages you to try doing quests multiple times for different outcomes?
>>585476543Not much. Reputation?
>>585476543The chiha quest is good for level grinding
>>585476543There's an early Yankee quest that has multiple endings. When you first meet aegis that quest has two endings. Also the Lion mind and Kalar quest have optional boss fights. There should also be some hint Crane gives you. Granted I don't remember Rocky ever coming up.
Maria
>>585476543This entry in the trivia section lets you know which quests could've had different outcomes.
>>585475951We have TOSH already though?
>>585477221
>>585474920It's for replay value. You can do challenge runs for example. But the huge cast is awesome, I love being able to use Emi even if she's a weird unit that has no strong reason to be in the cast.
>>585477103I am 90% certain that Rocky has no Crane hint.
>>585485701But Quest doesn't have replay value. It doesn't even have a New Game button.
>>585485701I actually was surprised by how early you can get some characters. Emi can be obtained diring the Yankee quest. You wouldn't know the first time around but you could have a sizable roster really early on on a fresh save.
>>585476543yeah, different quest outcomes may give you nice things (like an item that boosts magic power), or different follow-up quetss (which may have nice loot. Like, the mall where yyou recruit Alkaneze can give you zombie swords)Also, completion autism
>>585477545>>585477103>>585488058Notice that almost all of these are in the early game. There must only be like eight overall.
>"Translation and editing at 100%. Now we are doing technical and graphics localization. Play testing may begin as soon as December or January">a comment 5 days ago on the Rance X Teaser video on Mangagamer's channelNiwas...
>>585489572There also the Quest with Am's general guys. You go back to finish to off to make a later quest easier. I think there are more Quest mid to late game with more clears or optional stuff but you're less likely to remember them because you're already used to the game at that point. Probably also do more things correctly first try.
>>585490136I think that the only things in Magnum are that and the ultimate fate of Dark Rance.
>>585489340Cum>>585490030Cum
>>585490030next year
>>585490030>we might maybe start the very beginning of the process of playtesting 3 months from now if all goes as plannedthe ride never ends
>>585490591>>585491682I thought most of us already suspected a late spring, early summer release next year.
>>585491969I suspect nothing at all, the final announcement will be that it was all an elaborate ruse and the eternal tr*nsl*tor will have one last laugh at the despair of the common pottery.
>>585491969The only thing I suspect is that I'm going to have a heart attack before it releases
Rance's heart couldn't handle watching the Houjou telenovella any longer...
>>585493251rancebros... OUR HERO would never do this...
Kayblis in KR felt a little undertuned. He had a lot of health but didn't do that much damage.
>>585493462Rance is exactly the kind of man to have the courage to cry and the courage to run away.Notice how you can make anything seem acceptable if you word it as them having the courage to do X? The courage to steal, the courage to betray, the courage to embezzle, the courage to fail...
>>585493943The courage to steal dialogue from Monogatari...Brave niwa...
>>585494331Right? I'm a brave little hanny.
Maria and Hanekawa would definitely get along as fellow galaxybrained glasses girls with some of the fattest tits around.
>>585495431Marias tits are only above average. She is fat though
>>585495431Their main point in common is that they are retards, mainly due to their glasses
>>585495982Eh?
>>585495431Maris and Hanekawa would get on as class rep types
>>585496095Glasses give a -25 debuff to understanding interpersonal relationships and the ability to rationally follow your aspirations/desires
Would Hitagi and Shizuka get along?
>>585496565Fuck no
>>585496565Yes
>>585496227Maris and Kanbaru would definitely make a great manzai duo.>>585496682You'd suspect that at first, but I feel like they have some parallels. Like a grudge against someone who wronged them and their family in the past, being tsundere-ish ice queens, having a homoerotic stalker...
>>585497115Being similar isn't always a good basis for a relationship when the similarity is that they both are broadly serious, a bit anti social, and can be acerbic.
>>585497321When two people like that meet IRL they either become best friends or archenemies.
What about Lia and Nadeko?
Which Rance girl would you walk home gently?
>>585496565I don't even think they would interact even if they were in proximity. There's a bit in the beat gacha where Shizuka never learned about the Russian reveal. The gacha isn't canon but I think Shizuka legitimately has zero friends outside of Maria and the other Custopm witches. She won't interact with anyone unless forced.
>>585497768nadeko and medusa
>>585498305Yeah that's the thing. She is not interested in other people at all really, so she wouldn't start a conversation unless bothered by something.
>>585498337Who would end up with a huge white snake in their butt if they fought? Nadeko has numbers but Medusa has experience.
>>585498305Kinda sad...what a lonely way to live.
>>585498585>>585498305Maybe the reason she submitted to Rance was because he was one of the only people stubborn enough to break through her autism.
>>585498305The witches of Custom are more like family to each other than friends, I'd say. Save for Mill none of them have real relatives that don't want to kill them.
>>585494572A stunning and brave one, even.
>>585498989Tbf she to a degree devoted her life to revenge, and then after getting revenge had a psycho archnemesis. It's a miracle she has any relationships at all. Side effect of Rance forcing her to go on adventures with him is that she has to socialize.
>>585499660I just played myself, I can't stop imagining them as Fast and Furious characters now.
>>585493503Gameplay wise, I think he is actually weaker than Kite.
>>585500356Though they have too much hair for any of them to be a Vin Diesel stand-in.
>>585498065Rick.
Think I might start Rance 02 Kai tonight. I remember not liking Rance 02 but that was like 10 years ago. Will I have fun?
>>585500356>rance has a motorcycle 2 skill>never uses itThe fact that you don't even get a Bike item from Steel Horror in X, speaks of its failure.
>>585500787I doubt it
>>585499660Did Patton want to kill any of them?
>>585500787I don't know why everyone struggles with 02 so much, I loved it.
>>585501127He did in III/03.
>>585500885They're just leaving room for mods and fan creations
>>585500885Forget about it, cuh.
>>585500787Kai changes basically nothing
>>585501267that was before he adopted himself into the family. Sine then, he was on best sister behavior.
>>585501508This. Patton is the best onee-san. Divegrass manager needs to bring him back next time.
>>585498065hot archfriend
>actual skill is valued more than lineageMeritpilled. Zeth's revolution was a resounding success.
>>585505024Emi sexo
>>585505024Emi is lying. Getting raped by bandits is the main aim
In retrospect, it's kind of weird that Rance II introduced time travel to the series and it never came up again.
>>585507775That is because it would reveal the plot twist that Bird is the one armed knight.
>>585507775Time travel does happen again. Not the cut Sieg content, you get sent back a short period of time iirc.
>>585505024>Oh! Emi the maso-slut? How wet did hearing that make Emi?
List every event or mention of time travel in the Rance series.
Kathtom Fried Chicken
>>585495710Umm, the PC term is curvy, try to keep that in mind.
>>585498305>Aizel's theme is called Lone Wanderer not because of him but because of ShizukaKINOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>585500434Does he really have lower stats than Kite lol
>>585511485He doesn't even lift, bro
>>585511715Kayblis is definitely not on dat dere hannytech.
Quite a good score.
>>585515751The next level photoshop would be making the girls hold books
nakadashi score?
Do I have something mis-configured?
>>585510848It says "she's never useful and can do basically nothing"
>>585516730Yeah, your slave is pink
I hate this "click on every option three times just so you're really sure there is no new content" game design. It's not fun. It just gives you RSI.
>>585518392Tomato kinda looks like a derpy version of Shizuka.
>>585518392it twas the time
>>585511485I can't say about strikes or health, but I remember the wiki used to have all the stats of all enemies (it doesn't now for whatever reason), and I think Kite was the most powerful enemy in the game in terms of commander attack.
>>585518392It's fun if you have the right mindset.
>>585518684Feels like a bit of a waste considering the game all but spells out for you how to beat him without fighting him.
>>585519525Describe that mindset.
>>585518392It's just common sense if you've played old school RPGs to do that.
>>585520207It's not that it's confusing. It's that it's boring. You get like an hour into a new town without having done fucking anything.
>>585520656It's the only town in the game.
>>585520075Not caring if you miss shit basically. If you game over because of it you game over.
The combat system is just as bad as I remember from the original 02. You spam the Special Move on every attack, then rest after the battle.
>>585521210Das rite
>>585521210And your HP hardly matters because Sill's AI will spam heals if she has SP. And she always has SP because you can rest whenever you want and this fully restores SP.Kai is proving to be exactly as shit as I remember the original 02 being.
Deep lore.
We have security hannies?
I'm more impressed by her outfit change than the actual magic.
>>585522282She wears that for the rest of the game, but I like the first outfit more. This one makes her look like a scantily clad fridge.>>585522113Of course, the Shinsengumi
>>585522113It's funny that Maria never actually wears a typical scientist outfit again after this. I guess she got too fat and her old shirts won't fit anymore
Bird...
I'm done for tonight. The game is EXACTLY as shit as I remember. Kai changed nothing that I've noticed.
>>585528354We need Rance 002: A Remake Is Not Enough which derails the entire story and completely changes the gameplay.I vote roguelike dungeon crawler because of Shizuka's clusterfuck dimensional dungeon spell.
>>585489340Nice!!
>>585500885LarpHe used it twice in the Rance collabs
>>585531416>He used it twice in the Rance collabs>implying i play the gacha
>>585531416Anything that isn't in the main series games or KR doesn't exist. Rance World Notes? Don't care. Supplemental material? Never heard of her.
>>585534661Is Toushin Toushi a main series game?
I just found out Red Eye was possessing a Toushin. All this time I thought it was a Toushou.There should have been a cg to give a sense of scale.
>>585175093
>>585171591Quest on steam second quarter
>>585547232>Rance can only smooch girls that are level 35+
>>585552130Pastel got pregnant from kissing?
>>585542038I think it was explicitly called a Toushin during his introductory cutscene. Where they mention that he nabbed it during the Fiend Wars.
>>585524262>>585555696>Bird forgot and left both of these girlsHe deserved everything that happened to him afterwards tbqh
>>585555696Finding out that she helped Bird escape from Genbu Castle and then abandoned her reminds me how much Bird deserves all the abuse he gets if not more.
>>585556678He's just like me.Self-centered and ungrateful
>>585534661You don't care about the eternal heroes story?
>>585556678It's okDark Rance swapped place with her afterwards
>>585564920Please refer to>never heard of her
Gaahhhh I want to rape and torture this bratty bitch so much it’s insane
Grinding girls to Morurun is second monitor kinda fun.
>>585581001Quest is that kind of game where I think, once you get into the meat of it, it's best served as something you do for an hour or two here or there off to the side rather than a 9 hour binge.
>>585554762Probably, but his sprite is only slightly taller than a Goering.I was always mixing up toushou toushin toushin toushou toushi anyway.
>>585585710Would the Goerings really follow Redeye just because he hijacked a Toushin? Remember, directive number one is...
>>585556429Don't forget about Kisara, too.
>>585590446HAIL MM RUNE YES...?
>>585585710The thing that confuses me in turn is why is Lei so fucking big on the battlefield when the plot implies that he's normal human-sized.
>>585585710I don't think all toushin are as large as the one in VI. The one that drove back Nos wasn't that much taller than him. Omega in KR is pretty small.
KONAMI
>>585583475>something you do for an hour or two here or there off to the sideThat's how I played the postgame in VI after getting there through 9 hours binges. I also binged Quest until the Morurun seeding started. It's all good fun though.
>>585602659KR Magic was so much hotter, holy shit.
>>585604191All her boob went to her forehead. They're about even.
>>585604191The art style in Quest is more moé.
>>585604838>All her boob went to her foreheadMin-maxing at its finest.
>>585604841This was the first Magic design I saw and it was so weird seeing her in the other games.
only good Magic design is X's
We do not appreciate Zeth
>>585606148
>>585605882I hope you don't mean the nerfed forehead form.
There are no good Magic designs.
>>585607058That's right. They're all great!
>>585607058I liked Shadowrun's magic system
>>585606930Imagine the foreheadjobsHoo wee
I like Magic.
I'm the strongest and craziest Magic-loving human.
Magic and magic are lame-os
>>585612652also the weakest and sanest. Superlatives are kinda useless when the pool size is 1
>>585614185M-MAKE DRa...ma...
Every character needs flaws.Unfortunate that Rance's flaws are that he doesn't fuck lolis or his daughters.
>>585619369True, if we ignore that time with Tone, or that other time with Tone, or that other time with Tone, etc
>>585619714Or the weird Shizuka/Nagi situation
Rance 10 English anywhere close to releasing?
>>585619369
>>585624535Check back in 2-3 years
>>585624535Unironically yes, the only things left are programming and playtesting, 2 more weeks trust the plan.
>>585624535Like a year, wouldn't be surprised at a 2028 release.
>>585624535Should be 2027
>>585624535What do you mean you can't wait 2 weeks? It's just five months. How impatient do you have to be that you can't wait 6 more years?
Can't wait for 2031 bros
How long will it take for Rance 11 once 10 comes out?
>>585639209Depends on when you get started on it
Crazy they never made a Reset game.
When the heck is the complete Alice Soft voice patch coming out???
>>585581001Why do it?
you know, if you guys have forehead fetish. There's a much better option than some zethjeet with the glasses.
With Rance X coming out soonish most likely, I'm going to replay all the Rance games. I'm doing it interspersed with other games, so I think I'll finish around a good enough point, even with testing starting in December/January.In replaying 01 so far, I have to ask, is Rick not yet the head of the Red Corps in this game? They mention a bunch of the KR characters, but for the Red General they just say guy in a helmet in the arena.
>>585654031He should be
>>585648795
>>585655259That's the girl with the douchebag father, right?
>>585547232we really are just doing this as backwards as possible instead of a sensical chronological order.
>>585656578Nobody knows because hardly anyone picked her link, and those that did scrubbed it from their memory
>>585175093bring my sister back
>>585659858Why does Rance let her dress like this?
>>585431501Most of the systems are in place and the gameplay loop works. Need to do all the art (walk sprites, talk sprites, backgrounds, ui, etc) and all the script writing for events between characters. So, programming finished, it's all art and writing.Expecting like 9-10 months of work for the above.
>>585631965he's got terminal cancer and wants to play the game alright geez why so rude.
>>585639629what would it entail
>>585639629i'd of loved a dark lord war add on what if to rance X. where you pick one of the dark lords with kaybliss being an unlockable and play their side of the story but in a world where rance is stuck in the ark so him sill and satella aren't in the picture
>>585667748Cutie.
>>585667748Make sure you get it out before Rance X english version so we can all have a good laugh at mankograbber.
>>585678720I will release it within 9ish months regardless that's the deadline I set myself
>>585556678It’s hilarious how some people unironically think that bird is some kind of foil to Rance and how his revenge was deserved. Like no, Bird is a a massive wuss and aside from Kisara(whom he would have abandoned later on anyway), he deserved losing every woman he got with
Hey /haniho/, got something interesting for you guyshttps://github.com/erogehakase/EscalationIt’s a viewer for the beat gacha in case any of you actually want to read it(rance collab included naturally)You’ll needPython(unironically use ai(google gemini personally) if you’re python illiterate to explain the steps)Renpy visual novel engineIn game assets(you’ll need an android phone or an emulator and extract the assets yourself, otherwise I’ll see if I can upload the assets myself)A lot of time(it takes a month for the mtl to finish translating everything, mine’s finished and I’m going to upload it myself)
>>585684129Here’s how to extract assets in case some of you hannys never did it before
>>585682506While it is true that Bird deserved losing every woman he had, he also got flanderized. He was supposed to be a womanizer that quickly loses interest but he got turned into an incel that REALLY REALLY wants to have sex but everytime a woman falls in love with him he abandons her for no reason without even getting what he wants first. In Tousin Toshi 1 Bird surrendered to a woman and then ended up fucking her anyway, The Nu Bird could never turn defeat into victory like that.
>>585684129Thanks
>>585684129Finally I can read Lia’s scenes

Is 5D the only game in the series where Rance is the only man having sex?
>>58569400402?IV?
>>585694037Bitch almost rapes Shizuka if that counts
>>585694037>02I guess. Technically some guys fuck Ralga>IVA monster guy fucks a monster girl. The potato god inserts himself into the church girl
>>585695861>The potato god inserts himself into the church girlDoes unbirthing count as sex?
Would you fuck Ralga?
>>585694037>>585695861Isn't the bartender in 2 a hooker?
>>585704563Yes but she doesn’t have sex with anyone else during the game that you see. Rose does
>>585695962IdkDefining sex is actually complicated
>>585705816Sex is anything thst enbiggens my pp
>>585648795Everyone knows the most beautiful women come from Zeth.
>>585694004How many games are there where Rance causes a gameover by having sex or something similar? 5D has the Onibaba, if you count it, while KR has Miki and Shinoubu.
>>585306753She has big boob mode though so it evens out.
>>585715062Is Miki a gameover in KR? I thought she just goes with Satella.I know she kills you in I and 01.
>>585714950lol and lmao
>>585715308>Is Miki a gameover in KR? I thought she just goes with Satella.It leads to an unavoidable game over after a few turns due to her becoming LP and wanting to hunt down Rance, since she blames him for Kentarou dying and raping her.
>>585716267>since she blames him for Kentarou dying and raping herHeh. Women, am I right?
>>585716267lol did Rance explode Kentarou?
I want to slap Maris’ fat ass while I make her work as a secretary
>>585719742
>>585719608Miki does, but blames Rance because he caused her to go out of control.
>>585726386kwab
>>585724460Hot
>>585724460Is from the green village?
>>585724460She would make this face and continue working diligently
>>585724460Would Maris ever actually make this face?
>>585742584Slap her ass and find out
>>585742584Internal thoughts
>>585742168>>585742584I want to fuck her as she tries to suppress that face and acts professional
>>585742584>Maris, make this face [shows her some woman making a disgusted face on magic vision]>Yes, Lia-sama [makes the face for the next 37 hours uninterrupted because Lia forgot to tell her to stop]
>>585742584It’s based on an actual scene in KR so yes
Tsubame gaeshi
>>585753860But she was smiling at that time.
>>585742584No, her mental poise is unbreakable.>>585753860She's more embarrassed than disgusted in the dancing CG.
>>585766252The scene is based on Maris finding out that Rance fucked all the diseased girls in the green village
>>585766806I don't remember her getting a CG there or being implied to be particularly disturbed by that. She saw stranger things.
>>585767585She calls him a beast けだもの、けだもの、けだもの
LIAIA
>>585773546...is only the 3rd best sadist lesbian in the series
>>585778083For how important Maris was in the KR era, it's crazy that the next game she shows up in is Quest. Though I guess she did better than Milli.
>>585778231I think it's precisely because Leazas characters got so much representation earlier on that they don't appear as much later. Except Rick who gets the popularity bonus. (based)
>>585778083>Shizuka with brown eyesCursed.
>>585778083Medusa and...uhhh...who?Also Lia isn't a lesbian.
>>585778083Nobody in this pic is a lesbo
kanami
>>585787959konami
>>585778356>>585778231Since most of the Leazish characters are from the army and the inner circle of the royal court, I suppose forcing them into the games that take place abroad would have necessitated far too much plot contrivance than they could have reasonably gotten away with.
>>585778562Truth
>>585778356Rick appeared basically as much as Maris before IX.
>>585175093I am calling the poll now. The result is quite definitive. Hornet is on the team. Kenshin is probably a good name away from being on the team.
True hannies want more Rick
>>585724460If Maris get a hypothetical Rancelet, will it be daughter or son?And what's the possible/candidate name for the kid?
I haven't seen Maris' appeal yet. Maybe I need to reread 01
>>585800035This general just has green hair fetish, don't worry about it.
>>585797175I would have been very disappointed if Hornet missed out
>>585800035Highly affective attendant who deals with all of your issues quietly in the background.Also big breasts.
>>585800575I have Shizuka fetish not green hair fetish
>>585801875Maybe if she changed her name to Celery she wouldn't be so fat
>>585801117What about now?
>>585802095Yea I most definitely do have a Shizuka fetish. That angry expression is so hot
>>585803012nakadashi
>>585802095Disco isn't dead yet
>>585797175Neesan
>Counter will not trigger unless directly targeted (i.e. hits taken due to Ally Guard don't trigger Counter)No fun allowed.
>>585806494Which is dumb because replaying VI, I realized your sister could guard and then counter.
>>585806815Patton is a beast in VI, I upgraded his guard and counter, fed him chips/eggs and he was solo'ing most encounters late game. I've missed him in Sengoku and Quest.
War is hell.
>>585811064Sad
>>585800035Maris's appeal comes from KR, where she's basically the 2nd most important character in the game.
Lots of kisses, sex and despair with Am-chan!
Okay I'm playing Ixseal and holy fuck why are the boss fights so hard? Am I missing something?
>>585825791I dint recall ixseal ever being hard
>>585825889Damn maybe I'm just ass. I barely beat the first boss and can't beat the second.
Stop being so dead and release Rance X in English already, niwas.
>>585832836No, I'm thriving in the silence
>>585832836My favorite character didn't get into Rance X, so I don't care about it anymore.
X stuffFinished breakthrough, I expected more but I think I said that about every route so far. I double tapped free cities again to make Miki mine but she never even came up, neither did Warg. Arios was also completely absent again, and the fiend interactions were nice but really short. Silky had no lines either, but at least Hornet was relevant and actually got a h-scene. Since this was the last thing I was gonna do before part 2 I looked up on the jp wiki where to find some cards I saw on the wiki, there's definitely a lot of things I've never done. But I think I'll leave them for now. Come back with an all clear for other cards as well, or maybe wait for the english release to get them so I'll have new stuff to do still. I've actually considered leaving part 2 as a whole for the english release for that same reason. But we'll see how that goes.
>>585840171Millibro...
>>585840171I get you my fellow bookworm
>>585840171The Milliminati runs this general.If she must die, then we all must die.
>>585846539This is Freearchfriend territory. The Milliminati has no power here.
>>585803012I might just happen to know another female mage with long red hair, blue eyes, major attitude problems, two hefty mana reserves, and a crazy sister who wants to kill her.>>585801875Wanna know something else about her that is pretty damn fat? Her damage in KR. Daaaamnn.
>>585800035Tall, curvy, green, plus I find her personality rather pleasant, especially when contrasted with the oddness and craziness of most other Rance characters.
My favorite girl finally got a sex scene.
>>585851887Oi, hanny. Don't you think you forgot about the Maria Militia?
>>585865469Nobody is part of the Maria militia /haniho/ is part of the KANAMI Klan
>>585840414Semi-threadly complaint that is ridiculous that the Hornet Faction has more dialogue with each other in KR than X.
>>585803012>that 03 scene when she thinks Rance might not be using contraception
>>585856816I know of this mage you're referring but Alice is sexier, even without the hefty mana reserves
In the room the hannies come and goTalking of raping Torako.
>>585887862We've been over this once before, but I would rather describe Alice as beautiful than sexy. Some hanny suggested that I was of that opinion merely because of the difference in the endowment of their bosoms, which is...ludicrous, of course. Yeah. That's not me. Nuh-uh.>>585892652Ah, always glad to see other /lit/erati.
I think i'll play Rance IV. Anything I should know before I start?
>>585892652Nice>>585896989Not really
>>585896989Rick rocks.
>>585896989immediately got raped by ham bambaras. nice. nice. Guess i'm doing the xp shuffle for a while...
>>585892652I get the feeling that Kayblis would definitely like Pound's "Sestina : Altaforte"LOQUITUR: En Bertrans de Born. Dante Alighieri put this man in hell because he was a stirrer up of strife. Judge ye! Have I dug him up again? The scene is at his castle, Altaforte. "Papiols" is his jongleur. "The Leopard," the arms of Richard Coeur de Lion. IDamn it all! all this our South stinks peace. You whoreson dog, Papiols, come! Let's to music! I have no life save when the swords clash. But ah! when I see the standards gold, vair, purple, opposing And the broad fields beneath them turn crimson, Then howls my heart nigh mad with rejoicing. II In summer have I great rejoicing When the tempests kill the earth's foul peace, And the lightnings from black heav'n flash crimson, And the fierce thunders roar me their music And the winds shriek through the clouds mad, opposing, And through all the riven skies God's swords clash. III Hell grant soon we hear again the swords clash! And the shrill neighs of destriers in battle rejoicing, Spiked breast to spiked breast opposing! Better one hour's stour than a year's peace With fat boards, bawds, wine and frail music! Bah! there's no wine like the blood's crimson! IV And I love to see the sun rise blood-crimson. And I watch his spears through the dark clash And it fills my heart with rejoicing And pries wide my mouth with fast music When I see him so scorn and defy peace, His lone might 'gainst all darkness opposing.
>>585906161V The man who fears war and squats opposing My words for stour, hath no blood of crimson But is fit only to rot in womanish peace Far from where worth's won and the swords clash For the death of such sluts I go rejoicing; Yea, I fill all the air with my music. VI Papiols, Papiols, to the music! There's no sound like to swords swords opposing, No cry like the battle's rejoicing When our elbows and swords drip the crimson And our charges 'gainst "The Leopard's" rush clash. May God damn for ever all who cry "Peace!" VII And let the music of the swords make them crimson! Hell grant soon we hear again the swords clash! Hell blot black for always the thought "Peace!"
>>585906161Kayblis is the type of guy who reads/idolizes stuff like this and posts about the spirit of vitalism on twitter, but then hides under his bed at the first sound of conflict
>>585907651Eh, I think he'd be into conflict as long as his opponents had no real means to fight him. At least Bertran de Born picked a guy like Richard the Lionheart as his nemesis of choice.
Newfag here, just finished Sengoku Rance, with 0 points of courseIs there a relatively casual method of farming at least a couple dozen points on the next round? Trying to follow a wiki guide and savescumming ad nauseam seems miserable.Kurohime is my wife
>>585892652Z,,,,z,%<<z to be>>585909454Did you read 01?
>>585909454Easiest way to start is finish the other routes, start the next game with 1 star you start with a generous count of 120 points for little increase in difficulty you'll hardly notice it at all. Then it's just getting character clears and whatever other things you can. Of course the higher you want to go the more you gotta work but that's to be expected.
>>585909454Go for Ran route on 1 star difficulty, the most casual way to get 50+ points.Getting anything more without already having some points would require skill or a guide
>>585909454Just play another route at higher star setting
>>585909454Yeah just start a 1* difficulty run, then do a Monkeyslayer or Ran route since nothing forces you to advance the story there. Defeat Masamuse, Orochi, collect the treasures and do as many clears as you can. I managed to get 160 points on my first 1* Monkeyslayer run.
Hey niwas?>Yeah?What's cooler than being cool?>Ice cold!I said what's cooler than being cool?>Ice cold!Aiya aiya aiya aiya aiya aiya aiya aiya
>>585919364Chill Plain
This can't be.
>>585924868I laugh everytime someone posts thisBecause I cried when it happened to me
I don't care about Suzume
>>585926594I didn't expect this at all I just wanted to Morurun her. I'm kind of emotional now too.
>>585930208I'd be lying if I said it didn't fuck me up for a couple of days too
>>585926594I got so happy while playing the Dai Sengoku mod when I found out that you can save her
>>585892652Sounds like something that'd scroll by when imagawa's turn is happeningBut wait, Torako doesn't have glasses. So this can't be canon
>>585932971Even the stoic haniwa can be goaded into action by the mocking words of a mesugaki.
>>585933146I feel like they'd at least put glasses on her first. Even potteries have standards.
>>585924868This is so wrong, so fucking wrong...
>>585937679I say this

>>585943807>>585950614If I were Pandaman I wouldn't want her after this.
>>585951265Smooching is worse on used goods scale but better on PG scale
How did Xavier get the monster army all the way to JAPAN anyway?
>>585951869Monster military base in okinawa.
>>585951773I need to know how all the actions rank on the used goods scale
It’s very erotic to think that Yukihime is so good at making out that she gets people to declare war on Oda
>>585951869The monster army are just normal monsters in one size fits all suits, so I assume he just gathered up a bunch of monsters from local dungeons and then borrowed a few generals, captains, and suits which would be a lot easier to smuggle across the continent than a full army.Why would Kay-chan go along with his plan before the civil war is over? dunno. Or there were remnants of his armies from the past times he broke free that just rejoined his army, I guess? That's a lot of monsters though.
>>585966698Kayblis assisted him so he would join him in the civil war, Xavier was kind of a wildcard whose abilities weren't really known at that point because he was separated from the rest of monsters for 2000 years, but he was a part of the elite four before he was sealed for the first time so as far as everyone knew he was a Camilla class fiend, Kayblis needed to get him as fast as possible. It was also possible that he wouldn't join Kayblis's faction after finishing in JAPAN but if he was ignored that possibility would've been higher
>>585924868She was the realest niwa I know. I blame the KKK faction for advocating for her removal from the story.
>>585969803Kay-chan has been alive long enough to know how much of a fuckup Xavier is, former elite status or not. He's also practically a part of his faction already anyway because Hornet would refuse him. It's either join Kay-chan or be a loner that gets killed when either of the two factions win if he survives long enough for that.
>>585971443Kayblis knew Xavier at his prime, he was likely much stronger back then, Xavier was the first fiend to be defeated despite his invisibility field so Kayblis had to acknowledge that Xavier's opponent was mighty either way, during his first revival he was heavily weakened and during his second he had to face the hero so his defeats were understandable.It was also not a guarantee that Hornet would refuse him, keep in mind that no one knew he was planning to kill all the JAPANese, it was reasonable to assume that he was planning to only conquer JAPAN, he also did not disobey Gai's orders because he never even met him, since Gai didn't stop him when he had the chance you can even say Gai didn't mind whatever Xavier did, from Hornet's perspective he was only carrying Nighcisa's will, which would've made him similar to her.
Maris, Lia and the maid dancing in front of God's Door is the best CG in all of KR.
>>585473980Rance's hands are suspiciously oversized. Sill is also drawn in a rather feminine way. Was this drawn by a woman?
>>585800575Greens are queens.
>>585978428He's only at a fraction of his power in SR yeah but he's still the only fiend known that lost to humans who couldn't hurt him not once but thrice. Not even the holy magic sect managed to seal one single fiend but he got himself sealed three times. He's a massive fuckup. He's a shame to all fiends.Hornet would've likely known about his exploits in JAPAN, even if Gai didn't mind at the time that doesn't mean she wouldn't now. If he didn't go for a salty runback Hornet might've accepted him but there'd be no chance if he went through with it and she learned about it.
>its rance x finally translated yet?>no?>well... i came back in an hour..
>>585984015Humans could hurt him during his first and third time though, during his first time he had to fight Geppei who is a devil and can hurt fiends and during his third time he had to fight the hero with Nikkou, we don't know much about his second time other than that he was at his weakest during that time, he is also the only fiend in his army unlike during the Holy Magic Sect war where all fiends fought, Camilla and Nos managed to lose with 3 fiends so Xavier's defeats aren't as much of a shame in comparison.It's true that Hornet probably wouldn't accept him after learning everything after the war was over but Kayblis didn't knew that when he sent those monster generals which is what this discussion is about.
>>585981610Truth >>585983536All Rance x Sill is
>>585951869He has very capable apostles, that aside he didn't really get that many monsters considering the sheer scale of the main force.
>>585801875>>585397920I think the Sengoku sprites look great.
In all senses except physical, I am a hanny.
>>585937679What is Torako's body count?
>>585991321[haniho~~]
>>585937679Go, and catch a falling star,Get with child a mandrake root,Tell me, where all past years are,Or who cleft the Devil’s foot,Teach me to hear mermaids singing,Or to keep off envy’s stinging,And findWhat windServes to advance an honest mind.If thou be’est born to strange sights,Things invisible to see,Ride ten thousand days and nights,Till age snow white hairs on thee,Thou, when thou return’st, wilt tell meAll strange wonders that befell thee,And swearNowhereLives a woman true, and fair.If thou find’st one, let me know,Such a pilgrimage were sweet,Yet do not, I would not go,Though at next door we might meet,Though she were true when you met her,And last, till you write your letter,Yet sheWill beFalse, ere I come, to two, or three.
Guys two questions:1. if you wanted to play rance from the start what is the order (I know it's numbered but there's side games outside of the numbered ones)2. what are the games worth playing? I've only played sengoku and would like the ones like that but I'm willingly to explore more because I want to understand the lore and connections before sengoku.
>>58600028301, 02, 03, IV, 4.1, 4.2, Kichikuou, 5D, VI, Sengoku, Quest, IX, XAll of them are worth playing.
Sheila is such a way better slave it's not even close
>>585988286For the first sealing fujiwara couldn't hurt him and he should've been easily able to 1v1 Geppei but he was instead stalled until he was sealed. Sure, fujiwara had level 3 swords. But was he really stronger than toushins? For the second sealing he was still a fiend who couldn't be harmed even if he was weakened, but he got sealed like a bitch instead. For the third sealing he faced someone who actually could hurt him until the hero lost his powers and then he got sealed like a bitch after the danger was already gone. He might've been the sole fiend but he also had all of his apostles with him for the third sealing including Gigai who is practically fiend level himself just minus the invincibility field.
>>586006008Truth
>>586009545We don't know how strong Geppei was, there are devils that are stronger than every Fiend, Xavier was also exhausted after fighting Ishimaru who was likely the strongest human in history, him being stronger than a toushin is not impossible. The technique to seal Xavier was also never used on anyone else, we have no way of knowing how easy it was to avoid
>>5859936921Me
They are calling her the biggest sex haver in JAPAN
Is there a patch or something so that I can play 01 in Japanese?
>>586030049buy it off dlsite
>>585981610The face of mercy
>>586030049I have the 30th anniversary collection with the disc, but I'd need to get a disc reader. If you care that much, then I can (as long as sharing the files works and you don't need the physical disc to launch it) but it'd take a couple days
>>586041361Nah, not worth it. I thought it would be just a file change or something like that because it is only text. I am not willing to go further for a reread.
>>586042438Just torrent
>>586042719I meant for others as well. I was only considering the reread anyway, so I don't want to waste someone else's time for something I might not even do.
>>585997962Ye olden redpill
>>585988286Camilla lost to a Toushin? Is that in X? I thought only Nos was ever driven back.
>>586065751No, i was talking about Camilla losing to humans in VI
>>586066528>losing to humansThe humans cheated. Abert helped them.
>>586069608No one knows that though
>>586037794It feels like a joke that the door is on the first floor rather than the bottom of the dungeon.
>>585892652katsuko's better
>>586072615To unlock the door you need the golden statues that were on the bottom floor though

Death's vastness holds no peace. I come at the end of the long road - neither human, nor hanny.All bends to my will.
>>585507775Feliss being able to grant wishes like a genie also breaks a lot of things in retrospect. Stessel's entire plan could have been a single wish.
>>585507967Imagine how kino this could've been if Bird had some kind of arc toward understanding and redemption instead of being a Supreme Gentleman.Time travel is generally shit though, maybe it's for the best to abandon it completely.
>>586077896We don't know the extent of that power though, even the actual genie in KR wasn't omnipotent
>>586078286>Imagine how kino this could've been if Bird had some kind of arc toward understanding and redemption instead of being a Supreme GentlemanWhat would Bird name his autobiography?
>>586078295My headcanon is that devils can borrow a sliver of the devil king's power in exchange for sending souls up the chain, which explains why random nobody devils can perform god tier feats, but this doesn't happen all the time because someone has to give up their soul in exchange.So if you're willing to literally sell your soul you can actually get a lot of things done, but hardly anyone has the opportunityAnd that's why they punish losers like Feliss so harshly with demotion, by getting scammed herself she basically scammed the boss.And also explains why demotion hurts devils so badly, their power is just borrowed and low tier scum devils don't get to borrow any cool powers.Then there's weirdos like Xacalite who can use souls themselves and are basically mini devil kings/creator gods, so they don't have to care about the rules(I guess Lassie was also like this in KR, in the canon timeline I think it's just some weird soul eating creature)
>>586077896I don't think we know that Feliss can do that. I thought it was like a contract where a devil with it's powet magic will try to do something for you to the best of its ability.

It's really gross that Medusa doesn't think twice about going full Shawshank Redemption inside somebody else's intestines. Even if I had a python for a cock like her the last thing I'd want to do with it, especially while trying to get off, would be to climb through pounds of chocolate and half-digested slurry. Eww...
>>586100080Yes, however, counterpoint: it's impossible to get the dork without it.

Holy shit. Tulip 1 is strong.I'm not having fun with Rance 02 Kai. It is the same game as I remember from when I hated Rance 02. It's a firmly average ADV RPG. The only thing that makes it stand out is Rance. I could quite happily delete the game.
>>586313628Kai is exactly the same as 02 plus some minro dialogue changes
>>586313628It feels like a flash game that I would play as a kid to me
From what I remember, this is the one kind of good part of the game.>>586314071Feels that way. I think the H scenes are longer?>>586314143I had that same thought, but I couldn't actually name any of them. I was then reminded of the RPGs on Xbox Live Arcade. They were mostly just barely above okay. Not really fun.
>>586314143Not that niwa but I remember this sorta sexy one from way back then which was basically a 2D shooter kind of thing, like the Sift Heads games, but combined with an adventure game aspect as well that took place in a city, and the primary means of recharging your HP between missions was picking up chicks in a bar and hugging them or something. It didn't even have real nudity, just pics of women in lingerie, I think. I've never been able to find out what it was called.
Fuck. The game rewards hitting the Search button at every opportunity? This is as tedious as needing to hit Rest after every fight.
>>586315047Sounds like Frank's Adventure, but I only played one of them.
>>586317398Hmm, it wasn't anime-themed. But thanks.
That's Ran's part done. I'm done for tonight. The game is boring and would be half the length if you didn't have to do so much clicking after every movement.I'm no fan of Rance III or IV but they were much better.Goodnight, /haniho/.
