So how playable is Evanicle to someone who can't moon?
>>
>>152431262
The Japanese is really simple and the game is really easy.

You can probably play after a few months learning with help from a hooker

I suspect just Atlas with appropriate dictionaries downloaded would be sufficient to complete the game though you'd have to trial and error all the skills
>>
>>152431262
I'm pretty sure quite a number of people here played it without knowing moon. You'll probably get lost though.
>>
>>152430713
To be honest, I'm not overly sure how they'll expand it in a way that captures the essence of the original. Evenicle had a very strong building of relationships and interactivity between the various girls as well as the MC, and now that that's already been built, how will the sequel use this and still create an equally interesting game? Like, I'm sure they'll introduce new girls, but if they get introduced into the central group, that'll dilute the depth it has, and if they don't, it'll cheapen their importance. Maybe they'll have to separate the original girls at least temporarily to give the new ones time in the limelight? Introduce new conflicts/backstories for the old girls to keep their storylines interesting and fresh? It'll be very interesting to see where they go with it.

I just noticed Uruza's stats

What the heck
>>
>>152433076
She is potentially the strongest of the Four Lords.
>>
>>152432357
You can sell units in any troop for money, which is one of the best uses for prisoners. Capture enemy commanders, recruit a few with high negotiation which can then allows you to keep recruiting more and more people, wait for their armies to recover automatically (you regain some units in each troop every turn) and then sell them.

There's no real NEED to do this, just one of many min-max things you can do in the game. Another is hiring a bunch of disposable footsoldiers who can take hits for your more fragile and important units, where you don't care if they die in the process.
>>
>>152433076
She's not considered one of the best units in the game for nothing anon, and you can get her so damn early too. She's also one of the strongest commanders for dungeons and commander fights (level fucking 50 right from the start) and has a ton of action points.
>>
>>152433076
Urza despite not being hugely relevant is one of the continents' best ass kickers.

SR balances around lore so expect to see some crazy ass differences.
>>
>>152433076

She's regarded as one of the best units in the game for a reason.
>>
>>152433882
SR marked the start of Leila's dive into irrelevance, which is sad since she's actually one of the better units that game.
>>
What's up with Kibbles and Prokione both having lady tumors?
>>
>>152434431
To be honest Leila was never really particularly relevant.
>>
>>152434592

What?
>>
>>152434431
Nah that was Quest. SR she just loses to a monster of a fighter, Kenshin. She was still very strong at this point. Tillday took away her only major selling point, being the strongest girl in Leazas.
>>
>>152434957
Maris is the true strongest.

Leila is just yet another character that naturally became even less relevant as the games stopped focusing on Leazas
>>
>>152434743
The devil princes have tumours that look like ladies. Kayblis has the same thing on his tail. It seems like some kind of inherent genetic condition to become more humanoid.
>>
>>152435025

>>152434592

>Kibbles

>>
>>152434431
>>152434957
I don't know, Leila getting the shafted is basically her character in a nutshell.

III: Her debut game has her getting mind-controlled by Ithere and then furiously masturbates as some kind of curse when separated with him or his Apostles. She joins in the sort-of final battle to get the snot beaten out of her by Noce.

IV: She shines as the strongest female close-ranged physical attacker but falls down a giant crevice, gets trapped in a mirror for like a quarter of the game and gets partially raped by Rance in a drunken stupor.

KR: Probably her happiest run, getting into a relationship with Rick. But still, there's the Nobunaga thing and she's a sacrificial lamb to get Julia and Aviator, which also uses Leila as a stepping stone to prove that she's more badass than her.

SR: Nobunaga'd 2: Electric Boogaloo and getting beaten up to prop Kenshin up.

Quest: Tilde.

IX: Rolex.
>>
>>152435740
I just realized, the only person she hasn't jobbed against since her debut was Hubert (and Dens). And even then, they pushed her off into the canal.
>>
>>152435740
It's more like Rick just got popular, while she...didn't. Every game made it a little worse. If she was actually popular, she probably would have shown up in and gotten a small arc in Quest then maybe another in IX instead of being spanked by Rolex. As it stands all she's really good for is establishing strong characters are strong.

Conflict with QD is going to happen at some point and it will be the best thing ever. She'll make such a glorious antagonist.

So, I found this article pretty appropriate in both Arunaru's thought patterns in his naming as well as him missing several important factors when deciding his names.

Any chances of Evenicle getting translated by the end of next year, or the year after that? Sounds like it'd do really well.

>>
>>152438430

But I do think Escalayer will happen at some point soon
>>
>>152436127
Got to consider that the reason Rick appeared in VI is because level caps mean you need good end game characters and Rick fits that perfectly.

Rick is also the most logical person for Lia to send to help Rance because he is the strongest and isn't a cute girl.
>>
>>152438593
Maybe Oyako Rankan or Tsuma series. There's three(?) translators working at MangaGamer that's willing to do more Alicesoft stuff. Although, unless they get someone really into the nukige stuff from Alicesoft, it's more likely that we get stuff like Evenicle and GalZoo sooner.
>>
>>152439000
Why?

Nukige sells. If they get the licence they will put someone on it
>>
>>152438875
Oh, I already was. Just saying in general. You know you're kinda fucked as a character when you have a bad ending in one game, then in the sequel you aren't mentioned at all leaving people to assume you're actually dead. If she was even half as popular as say, Sen they would have at least made a point of mentioning she isn't dead.
>>
Odd seeing my crappy doodles on the booru.
Oh well. Any ideas as for what to do next? I'll probably get to it tomorrow when I sober up and before it reaches 123 degrees.
>>
>>152439227
They did. She was distinctly mentioned

This is why nobody in Japan ever thought she was dead
>>
>>152439458
She wasn't mentioned until Magnum I'm pretty sure, and only then to explicitly confirm she wasn't dead.
>>

Because the translators themselves also have some say in getting licenses. Yurirei was more or less Maria begging to get it and so was Sona-Nyl.

Unless there's heavy demand for it from the fans, like Maggot Baits, a general request for the company itself might lead them to get the translators' opinion on which game to get.

>>152442629
>Choose a familiar word with established mental imagery
Okay, who among you actually has any kind of established mental imagery with "archfiend" and what it is? (beside the obvious Yu-Gi-Oh reference)

It also surprises me that he here picks demon instead of devil, since demons are the more brutish (chaotic) type whereas devils are more approachable (lawful). Calling someone a demon generally implies great evil and insanity, calling someone a devil implies they're manipulative, calling someone a fiend typically implies a kind of obsession.

So yea if familiarity is the goal consider the whole nameshit to be a massive failure.
>>
>>152437730
>>152442629
Makes me wonder how he will translate 魔人 in the next entry of the series because that old man is certainly not a "Archfiend"
>>
>>152443862
>old man is certainly not a "Archfiend"
I think you mean fiend but Fiend would be a terrible translation of a Mazoku that specialties in lightning magic while also being stupidly physically strong for a old man
>>
>>152443803
He obviously doesn't care about D&D
>>
>>152444182
Kind of silly considering how influential D&D is
>>
>>152444256
Yes, but that's how it is. He thinks there is no clear distinction between devils and demons (which is true if you look beyond modern day fantasy stuff) despite most RPGs inheriting that distinction from D&D.

Instead, he got Archfiend from Dragon Warrior. (Which I haven't played, so can't say if that was a good idea or not)
If definitely doesn't sound good in my ears.
>>
>>152444182
And yet D&D has probably done more to shape people's definition of fantastical concepts than shit like Lord of the Rings, and lawful/chaos is not a concept exclusive to D&D, they merely put that in the centerfold.

Even in Biblical terms Devils (Mephistopheles) are manipulative and subtle (temptations of the devil etc.), while demons take control of human hosts, demonic possession being a Christian "explanation" of insanity and (violent) sociopath behavior.

Suffice to say there's innumerable reasons to call the Demon King exactly that, since Miki demonstrates the characteristic traits of being a demon (previously kind/timid character becoming violent and destructive)
>>
>>152442657
I see.

Also, as a side note: I hate drawing Kamilla's horns.
>>
>>152444434
>There is no clear distinction between devils and demons
And that is an utterly ignorant and retarded sentiment, as even historically there is a VERY clear distinction between the two.

No one in their right mind would call Satan a demon for one thing. What surprises me is that no one else seems to have been able to explain the differences to him, there's a ton of distinctive devil and demon references in literature, culture and history.
>>
>>152444712

Getting them both done the same is impossible

I've never picked "Weaken Enemy Countries" before in SR, is it worth choosing? I'm curious
>>
>>152444751
That seems to be a thing only in english. In my language, the equivalent of devil is only used for Satan, he is the only Devil. All the others, his underling are the demons. Fiend have no equivalent.
>>
>>152444751
>In the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, Satan is primarily an accuser and adversary, a decidedly malevolent entity, also called the devil, who possesses demonic qualities.

>For most Christians, Satan is believed to be an angel who rebelled against God. In the New Testament he is called "the ruler of the demons"

>The original Hebrew term satan is a noun from a verb meaning primarily "to obstruct, oppose", as it is found in Numbers 22:22, 1 Samuel 29:4, Psalms 109:6.[6] Ha-Satan is traditionally translated as "the accuser" or "the adversary". The definite article ha- (English: "the") is used to show that this is a title bestowed on a being, versus the name of a being. Thus, this being would be referred to as "the satan".[7]


Apparently, that clear distinction was lost for the people writing stupid shit on Wikipedia.
>>
>>152444946
Reduces enemy troop size, I doubt it's worth it but if you're struggling against the demon army blitzkrieg or something it might just make the difference.
>>
>>152444987
In actual English the Devil distinctly refers to an individual figure and his underlings are demons.

Saying he is a demon would be like saying God is an angel
>>
>>152444946

It isn't, it reduces the total enemy troop size but I don't know by how much, you can pick a lot better options.
>>
>>152445043
Yeah I agree with Aru, the concept of using devil and demon to classify two completely different beings is stupid. To most people they're basically the same thing.
With that said Fiend is no better.
>>
>>152445116
Which means they are in the same faction, very unlike D&D where they are opposed to each other.
>>
>>152445116
Maybe Maou should be translated as Devil then.

>>
>>152445425
not really. Rathowm or whatever he is now is the only figure that is a devil.

I actually don't mind archfiend that much it just seems like a pretty weird change that was unnecessary.
>>
>>152444987
That can't be true, since Satan has only been "The" Devil in recent Christianity, originally you also had different ones in Lucifer and Mephistopheles.

It's also used in phrases describing things/people that are manipulative or tempting like "sexy devil" and more rarely to describe great intelligence (not necessarily in a derogatory fashion)

>For most Christians, Satan is believed to be an angel who rebelled against God. In the New Testament he is called "the ruler of the demons"

See that's the thing, the original Angel that "rebelled" against god was Lucifer (and it's actually a really interesting story, that) and Satan as I understand it is more of an amalgamation of the multiple others that came before him.

Also take great caution when researching the history of the Bible as that is one hell of a contested subject, you'll be hard pressed to find any consensus on legitimacy there. In that bit you cited for example it's stated that "the Satan" is a title, which basically dances around the Satan's actual identity (often Lucifer, as far as I could tell)

That said, even using the cited descriptors Satan is never described as a demon, just as having demonic qualities as those are traits rather than species, and he's the ruler of demons, which still usually applies to the devils anyway.

What bothers me is that if you do even the slightest bit of research into the terminology you'll come across a plethora of differences in many different contexts, there's really little excuse to think demons and devils are essentially the same, beside the fact that they're both traditionally examples of extreme evil.
>>
>>152445775
Yeah but that 'recent' Christianity predates modern English
>>
>>152445043
>>For most Christians, Satan is believed to be an angel who rebelled against God. In the New Testament he is called "the ruler of the demons"
That's only because of alterations done to the bible by the church to simplify it for the masses, Lucifer and Satan were basically combined into 1 being despite them always being 2 different beings.
>>
>>152445775
The point wasn't that they are essentially the same, the point was that they are not clearly differentiated from each other like in D&D.
>>
>>152446035
Satan wasn't a being to begin with though.
>>
>>152445913
We can go even further back and note that Devil is a primarily Christian concept, whereas Demon comes from Greek.

In the dictionary sense there is some overlap in that they're both described as "evil spirit" but further context shows some clear differences still.

I also draw a bit of my attitude from knowing how Demon/Devil is used in other languages, and the difference is typically that things called demon/demonic refer to excess or sometimes just pure evil, and this is often true even in English ("When he gets in the ring he turns into a demon") and Devil refers to more subtle elements (He's a devil on the dance floor)

Again, the most culturally relevant examples are demonic possession always being attributed to insanity or cases or extreme violence/misbehavior and stories of meeting the devil at a crossroad and selling him your soul in exchange for something, or heck even the classic example of the devil and his violin. While you could technically argue that they're two sides of the same coin there's still just a clear distinction between demons and devils in cultural stories and literature, demons being the go-to descriptor for brutish evil, while manipulators, deceivers and tricksters being called devils.

It also fits so damn well with the Ranceverse, the devils seek to trick humans in ways that force them to forgo their part in the reincarnation cycle, while the demons just wish to brutalize mankind for their own amusement.

Regardless of what you may think though, Fiend just doesn't work, Fiends are often lesser demons or descriptors of obsession (just to go with a common example; dope-fiend) and as creatures of evil they never seem to outdo the classic Christian Devil as a primary antagonist.

I still challenge anyone to find me an example of a prominent Fiend in commonly known literature/culture.

I also wanted to point to this paragraph, which I think is what Arunaru is thinking (other than "Fuck you guys, demons is a shit term.").

Actually, what was the initial argument that he had against using Demons again? I remember that he didn't like using Demon King and Dark Lord due to the inconsistency and lack of cohesion between the terms that shows subordination, but I don't remember why he doesn't want to use demons in general.
>>
>>152446815
To me it just shows Aru seems to have a rather poor grasp of the English language considering Demon and Devil are always used in very different context, and that he's desperately trying to force his own special snowflake definitions of existing words.

It's also just going to become "no guys I can't call Gele the Demon king because I tried so hard to make Demons seem more of a nice thing in Funbag"
>>
>>152446723
>While you could technically argue that they're two sides of the same coin there's still just a clear distinction between demons and devils in cultural stories and literature
This is just patently not true. I challenge you to find a classical English story or work of literature in which the terms "demon" and "devil" are not either used interchangeably, or with "devil" referring specifically to Satan. The distinction is purely a modern construct.
>>

And that fits with the setting.

Kayblis etc aren't the big villains.
>>
>>152447032
I think you misunderstood, in literature the writer either picks devil or demon, I've never read a story that just arbitrarily interchanges the term, they pick one and stick with it.

What I can say is that stories about devils are rarely about anything beside manipulators, and stories about demons are rarely about something/someone manipulative, though feel free to give me an example that proves otherwise.

Beside that I'll just once again reference the cultural context of demonic possession vs devilish contracts/deals, which are two very different things.
>>
>>152447043
Except you forget that the people in the setting aren't meant to know that
>>
>>152447206
So? It's not an issue for the naming anyway.
>>
>>152447197
Ok, the only examples I can think of off the top of my head are books I read when I was a kid, but:
non-manipulative devil: The Devil and his Boy
manipulative demon (and demonic contracts/deals): The Amulet of Samarkand

Basically your understanding is flawed.

Where do you think Christianity comes from?
>>
>>152447634
I can't really remember the details of reading the Amulet of Samarkand, but didn't that feature mostly Djinn and demons are contracted TO the magicians rather than tempting them to sign away their souls, not the same thing there.

I also don't really know the Devil and his Boy, but from quickly skimming the synopsis it seems there's no actual devils involved and it's just the name of a play set up by a bunch of assassins to try and kill the Queen, which seems more subversive and manipulative than you've implied.
>>
>>152448073
Christianity is an amalgamation from dozens of different cultural beliefs and religions anon, I can't even recall half of the ones I knew, but most Christian events/holidays are simply rewritten from other cultural festivities, much like how Americans took the Dutch celebration of Saint Nicholas and turned it into Santa Claus.
>>
>>152448229
Let me rephrase that:
Which region do you think Christianity originated from and what was the language used in it?
>>
>>152448442
Rome, or at least the areas they occupied.

While similar in some ways to Greek it's not quite the same.
>>
>>152448608
Nah. Not him but it came from Greek first.
>>
>>152448608
You're trolling, right?
You're not that uneducated, right?
>>
>>152448693
>>152448957

I'd show some more restraint in declaring superiority in this argument considering there isn't exactly a consensus on this shit, especially considering how cultures, religions and territory was thrown around in that era.

And you can trace back Christianity back even further than Greek, you can go down the roots endlessly, but it wasn't established as Christianity until the whole Roman thing.

Also do tell what kind of education you're referring to that enforces the notion that Christianity has it's origin in Greek culture, because the actual religious education I did receive as a child taught that it came from Roman culture, which isn't exactly accurate either.
>>
>>152448608
>>152448693
>>152448957
Just cross-checking here but didn't Romans basically steal Greece's culture and mixed it with other cultures in the surrounding area such as Egypt and declare it as their own?
>>
>>152449489
We really are going massively off-topic here, but Roman culture is basically a strain of Greek culture, the original Romans are (supposedly) migrants from Greece (some theories even go so far as to suggest they were the survivors or Troy, but that seems implausible)

You can see countless similarities in culture, religion, language and technology.
>>
>>152449854
That makes more sense.
>>
>>152449316
How did your religious education not mention that the new Testament was originally written in Greek?

Anyway, Christianity first formed in regions under the control of Constantinople (aka Eastern Rome) which used the Greek language, it spread to Rome later. Therefore, Greek words finding their way into Christian mythology is to be expected.
>>
>>152450213
Hell most of what we consider Christian names are based on the Greek translations.

Hence why both John and Ivan are the same name.
>>
>>152444946
>I've never picked "Weaken Enemy Countries" before in SR, is it worth choosing? I'm curious
I've never looked into the finer details, but it's basically useless. To memory, it reduces the total number of troops that the enemy ARMY has, meaning that some commanders could lose 1,000 while the others only lose like 10. It's probably good if you spam it, although I can think of much better things to do with SAT Bonuses. The biggest issue with it is that the castle battles are still scripted, so the Bonus does nothing when you need it the most.

I think you overestimate the implications of that, remember the original Christians faced a lot of persecution by Romans, it's actually not an uncommon thought that several original biblical texts were destroyed.

Not to mention that, as I've said before, the actual original Bible is one of the most contested discussions in Christianity, since apparently most of the disciples ended up writing their own version of the book, and many variations sprung up over the years, many interpretations, many different translations etc. etc. To claim anything definitively on the matter just doesn't work, such consensus doesn't exist and we can reasonably assume much of what would be needed to prove things definitely are lost to time.

Kenshin herself isn't meant to get development as she was complete from the start, she is meant to develop Rance which she did.

Friendly reminder that boring is an opinion.
>>
>>152451190
Eh, there's plenty of interesting/entertaining characters, Kou, 3G and Suzume are all pretty great. Kenshin has an interesting dynamic with Rance but she's a bit bland herself. Isoroku is mostly shit and she's barely featured in her own route.

As for Senhime, I dunno why she ever even became a repeat character, her defining trait is being obsessive about fighting battles that are nigh impossible. Her character in IX seems rather one-track as well, but she does at least look to get fleshed out a bit more.

Hey she's great, definitely top 10 in my list, but the main concern is that she fails to show any range of emotion other than happy or sad, similar to issues with Sill it's hard to take a character seriously until you see things like anger, hence; boring. Or maybe dull or one-dimensional is a better description, either way she better have a role in X, though I'm worried she won't.

There's no way she wouldn't appear, and she's one of the strongest people in Rance's group, at the minimum she'd be a solid character to use.

She has to be fated though there's no way she can't be, and if she's fated she should have a decent role.

It'd be silly if she didn't get tons of attention, X is her game to shine.

Leila will probably only appear to get that KR ending with Rick. Not sure about Menad since she was ignored for the whole series, but she's rather popular and DHA exists, so she might have a minor arc.

At best there could be a little something involving Rick but don't expect much from Leila.

Not that popular. Think they'll finish her off in 04 and she will have a small role in X

I wonder how they'll actually make Sill relevant, she used to have a role as Rance's personal assistant and travel companion which is how most of the games start, with them traveling together. But right now, Rance just doesn't need her anymore, at all. She's still a decent mage I guess, but in terms of story she just has nothing to really offer beside jealousy at the other girls having his children.

I also really doubt they're going to leave Feliss' arch as it is now.

The extended cast of Zeth and Japan. It's missing plenty of the popular characters in the series like Kenshin and Rizna

It's missing the characters from Zeth as well obviously, though that cast actually isn't particularly notable either, at least not on the female front. Rizna, Nagi, Magic and Urza are the only really prominent ones I can recall off the top of my head, though I'm probably missing some.

>>152453158
Sill's role in the story is going to be what it always has been: as Rance's conscience/moral counterweight.

Considering that the stakes are higher than ever before, given that Rance has accomplished his goal of establishing control over all of the world's major nations and is poised to lead humanity to victory over the Demon Realm, if, once all is said and done, he decides to go back to being an adventurer and doesn't become a tyrant, it will be because of Sill's objections.

The real question I have is not what Sill's role will be, but, as you pointed out, how she will deal with Rance having 19+ other women who are also his wives and all of his children by them.
>>
>>152455172
Rance has more moral counterweights now with Reset arguably the most important
>>
>>152455172
One goes into the other, how would Sill convince Rance to stand back and be an adventurer when he has that many wives and brats to take care of, and Rance is unlikely to abandon his estate.

The ending seems likely to be more of a "Rance retires and fucks his harem happily ever after" than "Rance goes back to adventuring"
>>
>>152455409
That house in Ice didn't keep him there either
>>
>>152455503
It actually did though, he only ever left when he needed more money, which I'm not sure is an issue for him anymore, especially by the end of Rance X.
>>
>>152455503
Rance only goes out to adventure when he needs money last time I checked.
>>
So what are the odds of Alicesoft going back and filling out the whole 'missing year' thing after X, it doesn't seem all that unlikely with them remaking everything so far, and a Rance 05 could be rather interesting.
>>
>>152455321
Reset is different. Considering how depressing I've heard that the standard ending for Rance Quest without the Magnum expansion was (Pastel tells Rance that she can't do anything about Sill being frozen, causing Rance to fall into a deep depression and to lose joy in pretty much everything, including sex, until Lia lies to him about the Helman treasury having an item able to unfreeze her), it would seem to suggest that no one in Rance's life is close to replacing Sill.

>>152455409
If Rance retires from everything except debauchery at 24, he will look like Fletcher by the time he's 40. In light of that, I hope he decides to keep adventuring.

On a related note, accomplishing all of your life's dreams as a young man is one of the worst things you can wish on anyone. You guys know Meriwether Lewis of the Lewis and Clark expedition? Read up on what happened to him afterwards if you aren't familiar with it.

Considering how some of the other non-canon endings in IX turn out, I don't think that theory holds as much ground as it used it. Rance replaced Sill with Kanami in Kanami's ending
>>
>>152456693
>RQ ending
It mostly implies that Rance is devastated by losing someone close to him, and further reinforces the notion that Rance is an asshole largely to distance himself from people and such experiences, there's also Rance refusing to bring Sill along in 4.1 and a bunch of other things.

It doesn't necessarily imply Sill is more important than anyone else, at least.

>Meriwether Lewis
Read up on it a bit and don't really see what the deal is, apparently he just got fucked over by this Bates guy, even his alleged suicide was deemed unlikely in a later coroner's findings.

Don't forget Rance will have at least a dozen children to take care of, which takes some doing. Between managing his estate, raising/training his kids, murdering people who approach his daughters and sexing his harem I'm thinking he'll get plenty of exercise and fulfilment.

>>152457468
What you described there is the proximate cause as opposed to the big picture.

Lewis's childhood dream was to explore the lands that lay beyond the Blue Ridge Mountains. The expedition gave him the chance to do this when he had just turned 30, and the extent of his successes, which were beyond the expectations of almost everyone, made him the biggest national hero since the Revolution. All of the problems he had afterwards--depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, suicide--were the result of him becoming a victim of that success. He achieved all he had ever wanted to do with his life before it was even halfway finished, and that was what actually destroyed him. You see a similar sort of thing happen today to people who win the lottery.

That's why I think that the best possible ending for Rance would be for him to set off in search of new conquests (in both senses of the word) rather than for him to settle down.

>>152459229
>>152458929

Probably more of what I mentioned before, Rance being terrified of getting attached tries to avoid getting attached to his child.

Since later developments in Quest and IX he seems to have grown a bit more in that regard, and is working more toward actual relationships.

I mean, his first conception has understandably left him rather traumatized on the concept of children, the situation with Feliss and Dark Rance certainly didn't help matters either, as well as him losing everyone he came to care for in his early life (what with the whole fate of the female warrior that initially trained him)

>>
>>152469152
I guess I'll just consider myself pure and unspoiled on that whole fandom then, it sounded rather novel to me, usually it's the son doing some kind of hypnosis shit or the evil rapist stepfather getting it on with the daughter.

That said I have no interest in SS so that probably explains the lack of exposure.

It's another Tuesday for me. Unusual for me is a villain who travels back in time to rape your ancestor so that she may birth the person whose family line you will be a part of later, then return to the future just to rape you and going on about how you two are related. Even then that's pretty much just Friday.

Naah, though she has a pretty good set of skills.

Confirmed for shit taste. Magic is shit too. Why has Uruza become irrelevant to the plot for the last 40% of the game? I am hopefully about to beat Kamilla and I'm sure Uruza will never be relevant again.
>>
>>152524829
I agree Magic is shit. It annoyed me enormously to see Rance devoting so much effort towards her when there are so many better girls he could be going after. Although to be fair Uruza's plotline was pretty nicely concluded, not too much more they could've done I think.
>>
>>152524759
>lvl cap 4
I guess random squirrels can beat her up
>>
>>152524829
None of the 4 lords have really been relevant except Nagi since VI, who still needed a conclusion anyway. Plus she's Shizuka's sister and Shizuka's arc still hasn't fully ended either. At least Urza polls well, even when totally irrelevant so maybe she'll get a nice scene in X.

I agree 100 percent though that Magic is shit. Unironically one of my least favorite characters.
>>
Let's not forget that Rance's goal was to fuck all the princesses and unfortunately Magic is one of those
>>
>>152524829
She doesn't really.

Oh well Kamilla has a nice cg.

Rance VI has a lot of post game stuff. Much of finishing off the plot

So, who's better Eropicha or Magic?

Magic, simply because it gives me more scenes with Rance and Lia together.

Magic because Lia puts her in her place like that slut Saya
>>
>>152529610
Eropicha because although both are equally unattractive at least she is funny and has a great way of talking~

Eropicha is a loving girlfriend to a excellent character with barely any screen time.

Magic is Sill 2.0

No Magic is even worse. Magic is the kind of women who wants to change a man to match her ideal completely disregarding his opinion on the matter.

The difference between Magic and Sill is that Sill has fans.
>>
>>152534115
Given how much attention Sill got in Sengoku with all that sex and a scene where she sacrifices herself for Rance.

That is pretty low. Plus no Shizuka
>>
>>152534201
Shizuka didn't appear in SR until they made a patch that added her to shut up unhappy fans.

Sill always does worse than most heroine girls and this more or less reflects that. The only out liner is Rizna and Magic who has a pretty stark physical difference, and SR is one of biggest roles for Sill.

>The only out liner is Rizna and Magic who has a pretty stark physical difference
Let's be fair, both of them are completely optional and don't get much attention other than 1 scene a piece and some very standard events. I think the Quest polls do a better job showing how popular they really are
>>
>>152539268
I was trying to be fair, since Urza is similarly very minor, as is Kanami (though I might argue this was before Kanami got REALLY popular and certainly before she got heroine status)
>>
>>152540136
She got heroine status in VI. They just didn't concentrate on her much until around Quest.

Probably because beating her tsun was going to be easy but required Rance trying to value the other girls more which required Sill going missing
>>
The Noa scene in 03 kinda makes me feel bad, that doesn't happen very often.
>>
>>152540136
>since Urza is similarly very minor,
Well Urza isn't a shit unit unlike Rizna, Kanami and Magic in SR so that might inflate her ranking somewhat.

She was always a bitch. I mean everyone loves to talk about that one KR ending where Rance just kinda slowly bashes Miki to death. She is after a demon. I mean they've toned her down a lot, but still.

Satella is #3 behind Silky and Hornet on the list of dark lords that would make legitimately good loving wives. Kesselring is a good candidate for a typical "so misunderstood..." husband (I'd live in his mansion) but is necessarily disqualified from wife status after the dick incident.

And that's my unsolicited ranking of dark lord waifus.

Here are my character's levels
It's impossible, right?
>>
>>152560121
I had those levels when I was fighting Kamilla, You just have to use Kanami's and Kaloria's stuns to deal with The Strongest. You simply don't have enough HP to tank the damage at that level
>>
>>152559851
I just had max presents on everyone and had everyone's S rank weapon. I think I had maxed everyone but Sill, and Magic. Rance was low 70's.
>>
>>152560190
As I recall most bosses in that game can be cheesed by stunlocking them, and with Albert that's pretty much the main strategy.
>>
>>152560301
Pretty much, if the Strongest gets an attack off you can say goodbye to almost anybody it hits and her spell just wipes out everybody but Rance/Kaloria/Patton. That and with her being in the back row you have no choice but to stun her.

Rance teasing Kanami in his sleep while she reacts after overhearing or something. If you want, you could always replicate this scene and have Kanami be inside the roof. (With Suzume)

Another one you could do is Suzume and her clones all headpatting and comforting (?) Kanami after the latter loses miserably. (For reference, its in Kanami's 2nd or 3rd character event in SR)
>>
>>152560301
>>152560465
So it's pretty much just an unge with your stun rolls and if you miss one it's game over?
And then you have to go through all those annoying other minibosses on the way back to her again?
>>
>>152560565
>So it's pretty much just an unge with your stun rolls and if you miss one it's game over?
Pretty much but you have multiple chances to stun her because it's a 2 turn charge.
>And then you have to go through all those annoying other minibosses on the way back to her again?
I honestly don't remember but can't you beat those, leave and they don't respawn?
>>
>>152560660
Nope, for this dungeon they respawn every time you leave.
>>
>>152560565
>So it's pretty much just an unge with your stun rolls and if you miss one it's game over?
It's nowhere near as bad as that sounds considering Kanami and Kaloria have an attack specifically designed to stun enemies. It's not 5D levels of RNG at the very least

>Darksword Chaos
Really? Did Aru and Maria completely forget that it corrupts and curses it's user if they aren't compatible with Chaos's personality? Darksword just sounds like a black sword and kind of misses the point

>But he isn't a demon so demonic doesn't work
Demonic ties to the unholy nature of the curse and Chaos's own personality. If that doesn't work Corrupt sword is still better than Darksword
>>
>>152561491
You shouldn't try and make sense of it anon, I've just learned that Aru is a complete lost cause.

You should still send him an e-mail if it really bothers you though. If enough people do it, I think he would at least rein in his own bullshit a little.
>>
>>152561491
Hey guys, since he called Chaos Darksword maybe he'll call Nikkou Lightsword and continue to completely miss the point of the names.

>>152561491
I don't see why Dark is a bad adjective for Chaos. He's a strong weapon but potentially has a trade off for it's wielder.
>>
>>152561491
>>152562304
What combo do you think sounds better?

https://www.strawpoll.me/11051972
>>
>>152562753
Because Dark is such a poor choice of words to explain what type of sword he is. A Darksword just sounds like a black coloured blade, when he's actually a cursed sword that can take control of his wielder.

>He's a strong weapon but potentially has a trade off for it's wielder.
Exactly, he's Cursed or Demonic.
>>
Didn't Aru use Demonic Sword and Holy Sword in his translation of KR?
>>
>>152559545
To be fair, she's the dumbass who got her sister caught by Medusa, despite them sharing a twin link, by losing her virginity to a tree branch.
>>
>>152562965
Which just means she won't be getting first place from anybody. I would think she's more 4th or 5th but certainly not last place
>>
>>152561491
>But he isn't a demon so demonic doesn't work
Doesn't even matter because he isn't using demons, so there's no need to shy away from using the word as an adjective.
>>
Seizel is pretty cute.

I just like three other female demons more
>>
>>152562753
Darksword just sounds lame.
>>
>>152563114
VI Seizel is very cute.
>>
>>152562753

Chaos is a cursed blade that can take over those that don't have a strong will, dark doesn't really convey the nature of the weapon well, and to top it off it just sounds off.

It's not like Aru is using demon anyways for the demons.
>>
>>152563193
She is. Possibly in my top ten for the poll
>>
>>152563378
>>152563181
>>152563104
>>152562932
What is also important, darksword ccould suggest association with dark element found on the Continent, and of course Chaos doesn't deals dark or any other type of elemental damage. Same goes for Nikkou and light element
>>
>>152562109
I doubt emailing Aru would accomplish anything, It'd be better if there was a forum we could post on but last time I checked the Mangagamer forum was down.

>>152574604
No, there's also just a lot of stupidity, like requesting reinforcements and thinking because the first one wasn't amazing all of them will be shit.

Or not doing any dungeon fights and then getting your ass kicked by Xavier in the end because you've never learned the strengths of each unit etc. Pretty fucking stupid to ignore an entire game mechanic, but some people do.

Or dismissing an entire unit type because one of them is bad, like determining all tacticians are useless because the one you start with is terrible.

Or using archers throughout the entire run even though they're absolutely terrible at everything.
>>
>>152579301
Notice how your first+third error are the exact opposite of the fourth error. Someone who doesn't hesitate to make conclusions about a unit type or mechanic will discard archers early on but they'll also be skeptical about reinforcements once they get worst ninja; someone who tries to push a mechanic to its limit is likely to get urza but they'll also keep trying archers.

As for dungeons, they're presented as a bonus objective (orochi) or not an objective at all. They're a complete side quest that helps a bit with the main one via items. Until it turns out they're not, at the final battle. There's a lot of things in the game that we ignore without being pretty fucking stupid, like archers.

>Or dismissing an entire unit type because one of them is bad, like determining all tacticians are useless because the one you start with is terrible.

You're contradicting yourself there. A first time player has no way to know that archers are a terrible class unless he tries them or is told about it. Otherwise he's concluding that they're bad after seeing a bad one, which is what your other point criticizes.

>>152574696
Magnific.
>>
>>152581550
Now see there's actually some pretty distinct differences. One is about trying something once and jumping to conclusions, the other is about doing something consistently and not learning anything.

It's a rather foolish sentiment to think they're the same.

As for dungeons, the fight at Honnoji, the assassins sent after Rance, the battles vs the Tanuki's, the ogres, all hint at the fact that dungeons should not be overlooked.

Before I started playing sengoku rance someone told me to only talk to people if their event is purple. But isnt the only way to upgrade them to get affection raised, doing only purple is raising it really slow.
>>
>>152574696

Holy shit that's wonderful.
>>
>>152584149
Purple just means that talking to them will increase their affection rank and let you upgrade. If you talk to them with no purple indicator, you raise their affection points by 1. It's not a very good use of an action fan unless you run out of items and are really close to a good upgrade
>>
>>152584149
You talk to them when when they're 7/7. You get them from 0/7 to 7/7 by winning battles with them or giving happiness items.
>>
>>152584542
>>152585508

Oh that makes more sense. Is increasing affection by winning battles completely random? I definitely remember getting some affection but it doesnt happen that often.

Yes scaling does exist, no its not on a level thats relevant and actually needs intervention from the players side to keep it down.

In fact i would argue that you actually gimp yourself be keeping your numbers down, since your troops will always have higher stats then the enemy thus outpacing their numerical advantage

They're good enough to keep in 0 Star, regardless of if you're paying attention or not.

The game goes VERY out of its way to tell you that you'll be in trouble if you don't level. Being rewarded with sex for doing dungeons is also another good hint/incentive.

Either you've done something like missed a SAT Bonus and you've took the 150 thinking that it's 160 (which isn't a problem, you don't lose them) or it's somehow been buried by other bonuses. I can't remember if that means it's lost forever or not, but I think not.

I think the GameFAQs FAQ covers it, but as >>152598595 discusses, it's not worth worrying about. I don't know of anyone who's gone out of their way to manipulate it outside of doing things that you maybe should already be doing like keeping Suzume and Kentarou on 1 troop.

>>152607632
I see.

I might try and doodle Io and maybe Medusa putting cute hats on her snake penis later or tomorrow, depending on how bad work is.
>>
>>152607131
I hate playing through 5D in retrospective but it really does add a lot to VI, and it's over in like 3 hours. Most of that time is spent reading. Only the gameplay kinda sucks, since it's more or less roulette and dice RPG. The writing is total laughs
>>

Why did they have to retcon her design in the older games if they're not going to remake VI

>>152608683
Battles are dice rolls, though you can customize the skills that come up for each roll to minimize shit ones. Most of the movement is based on roulette, though you can expend "time" to make the tiles you want larger. I think it's problems tend to be overstated, but I also just really don't enjoy it. I would play it for the story, and maybe try to have a laugh with the gameplay.

>>152522981
She's a bro, and that's a lot more than could be said about a lot of the other heroines.

Who here would not actually get totally sick of Shizuka's bitchiness or Maria/Sill being a doormat.

10/10, would hang out with all day.

>>152610147
You've also got to enjoy how she beats Magic at every turn
>>
>>152603107
I wonder how she would look like if she were a Haniko.
>>
>>152610147
The issue with Sill is less being a doormat rather she's an idiot who always fucking everything up. Doormats are usually quite appealing as long it's only for you. Shizuka is justified, so you can at least understand it.

The one I'd get sick of the most is funnily enough Magic.

Magic is just terrible for a whole slew of reasons.

She's clingy, tries desperately to change someone else to fit her own needs rather than backing off, and all based on her own mistakes and presumptions.

Nothing she really says has much merit because not only does she not comprehend the world and people around her, and she's totalitarian about her own way of life, which was not very respectable in VI as she was largely irresponsible.
>>
>>152612263
Yeah it's a fucking wonder she got 4th in the polls in VI. She's obnoxious.

>>152565018
No? They are both valid translations, which was agreed on by other staffs. Aru hasn't changed it and most likely won't.
>>
>>152612756
She is a main character in VI so it's not surprising.
I like her forehead though, that's cute.
>>
>>152613316
It's probably just the glasses. She does seem better during Quest, and I actually liked her development a bit in SR, where she makes some steps from being demanding to being more accommodating (small steps, but steps)
>>
>>152613794
The forehead is actually useful in Quest
>>
>>152613871
Depends on your definition of useful, not that many opportunities to take advantage of it, honestly.

The fact she was high at all is what bothers me.

She gets a special skill that gives her massive resistance to light damage, basically her forehead is a reflective surface.

Kenshin is fine, a bit one-track but she has some great moments, like in Quest where he can only fuck someone of level 35 or higher except Kenshin who he can fuck at level 30 because in the event she goes off on her own and grinds the last 5 levels by herself for his sake (comes back covered in injuries as a result as well)

Lia is top 5 easily, your information is a good 15 years out of date and even then manipulative Lia is still top tier.

>>152615521
Senhime confessed her love to Rance in IX and Athena should at least be at crush level, good image otherwise.

Of course I did. Came back after a long hiatus when I found out mangagamer is translating VI and not 01
>>
>>152615978
It's totally acceptable since VI is the modern starting point before 01 came anyway.
>>
>>152615751
>Isn't Lia easily top 5 worst Rance girls?
Lia has grown up over the years and is now somebody Rance actively goes out of his way to hang out with, instead of just visiting her for sex.

>Obnoxious personality
It's overbearing not obnoxious and that stopped being an issue a good 5 years ago.

> she's a manipulative bitch on the side.
Which is more to Rance's benefit than his detriment, not to mention she's stopped doing this without telling Rance as well at Rance's request.

Not to mention there is plenty of people in this very thread that completely adore the original Lia without any of the character progression that she got over the years, Never mind that at least 3 of the major posters list Lia as best girl as well as considering Rance and Lia to be OTP. This thread is effectively Maris

>>
>>152620364
002 isn't coming out anytime soon.
>>
>>152620364
VI and 5D were already translated, and the former is a way better game and, thus, a better hook for newcomers. Also, releasing 01 is like killing VI and 5D because they are a lot older, two games of which you have translations ready and people already interested in.
>>
>>152620364
5D and VI were already done and are older. AS might still have reluctance to release 01 since it's still pretty new. I think Aru said going forward they'd handle it chronologically, so 01 may next for you anyway.
>>
>>152620506
So what are they going to do? Release 5D, VI and then go for 01? Or go full retard and do 5D, VI => IX and then 01
>>
>>152620657
SR, Quest, 01, IX, 03. Split up however with non-Rance games.

Also I'm taking those photos from Magnum Perfect Guide book. Rance Quest booklet shares most of them as well and they are actually bigger in size there but greenish bg color of the booklet pages gives persistent gleams from my camera flash and if I use external light pics ends up looking yellowish since all lamps that I have are in warm spectrum. This is a pity since some really nice sketches from the booklet such like Tomato, Annis and Keikoku didn't made it into the book.

>>152657626
Scanning also involves dismantling the books as far as I know and I'm not ready for such sacrifices.

Just finished Sengoku Rance, man that was a good game. Super glad I decided to give it a try.

I heard there are other routes you can do when you replay it, are they worth going back for? And while it's fresh in my mind, what's a good game in the series to move onto next?
>>
>>152664949
You inspired me to buy my own copy.
>>
>>152666269
The what-ifs are definitely worth going for, as well as higher difficulties. If you like the characters, consider 02, 3, 4. If you like the gameplay but can't read moonrunes, you'll probably have to wait for 6 to be translated.
>>
>>152666269
Do the other routes first.

Then you have a couple of options. Daibanchou is translated and is a similar game by Alicesoft.

As for the Rance series the other translated games at the moment are quite old. Still fun if you loved the characters.
Skip Rance I and read the digest version.
Rance 2 has a translated graphic update and is a short game so play it
III and IV are 20 year old rpgs but short so play them.

All of these have full text lets plays on rpgcodex

Play Kichikuou Rance no matter what.

Download links are in the op

Rance 5D and Rance VI are getting official English releases soon.

Sengoku is Rance VII
>>
>>152666269

It's worth it, some events open up on the second playthough as well, try attacking different countries as well there is a lot you haven't seen yet.

Once your done with Rance the only other Rance games are the ancient games with ancient gameplay, Kichikuou though is solid.

All "big" Rance titles have splendidly done booklets with lots of sketches and artworks not included in the games themselves. 5D and 01 booklets are rather plain due to the games being sold at lower prices. Naturally low price editions don't have such booklets as well. If Mangagamer will be releasing physical copies they better include the booklets with all art content from the originals as well.
>>
>>152666712
>>152666769
>>152666929
Alright then, playing through it a couple more times sounds like fun. I didn't get to attack Takaeda or the cursed factions in the middle-ish section before they got fucked up anyway, so maybe I'll reach them this time

Is there a reason that Rance 1 isn't recommended to play?

But yeah I liked the characters alot so I will get around to playing the earlier ones, slightly dated gameplay doesn't dissuade me too much

>>152667178
I know. I have electronic copies of all of them bar Quest
>>
>>152667346

Rance 1 is just ancient and unless you like the 1980s point-and-click-repeatedly kind of game, it's not fun.
>>
>>152667346
I would go so far as to say Rance 1 is the worst game of all of Alicesoft's titles.

Tokugawa last battle
And to rush Natori
>>
>>152669628
I use it only against Mouri usually. There are no castle battles more bullshit than their. Even againsts Natori with the +50% bonus it's way easier even earlier in the game.

What is that female Suzaku? Am I missing something?

>>152671012
Is it a female version of the actual Suzaku or is it a different being?
>>
>>152671912
Suzaku is a phoenix and revives everytime he dies.

But every time he revives as the other gender

What is a realistic period for mg to release Quest, IX, 01, 03, 04 and X? 4 years? More? There will most likely be other as titles among those too so that will slow things down even further but I feel mangagamer aren't stupid. They have a deal with one of the biggest eroge companies in Japan, they should prioritise their stuff (if alicesoft are okay with that) over stupid shit like warrior lady asuka, right? Can we expect 6-7 games for 3 years or is it impossible?
>>
>>152676656
It's probably not in Mangagamers interest to oversatured the Market with Rance games, there is also the reverse import thing to consider, so there is no real reason to catch up
fast

My estimate would be one Rance game per year and one other Alicesoft title
>>
>>152676656
Probably shoot for one game a year(shoot for; I imagine it'll be more likely a year in a half to two years), with maybe one more combo pack for 01 and 02 Kaikai.

I assume the release order is going to be possibly SR, Quest, IX, then the remakes.

Sorry I don't browse this a lot so I don't know if this was answered in a previous thread , but what happened to rancetranslations?
>>
>>152678884
No need to have an independent blog wheb they are under MG
>>
>>152678884
killed because they're official now. No reason to have it when it's mostly just going to regurgitate what MG says anyway.

It did, it's called Sengoku Rance.

Is there a route in SR where the Demon Army doesn't turn up?

It was cool having most of the country suddenly turn on me, but I kinda wanted to take over those houses myself instead of only fighting one faction for the rest of the game
>>
>>152682359
>Is there a route in SR where the Demon Army doesn't turn up?

Kill The Monkey and Free For All
>>
>>152682436

Oh and Ran, apparently.
>>
>>152682436
>Free For All
DA is a starting faction in FFA
>>
>>152682359
Yeah, ktm and ran routes. I highly suggest ktm if you just want to conquer things without shit happening all the time. I wanted the same when I first completed the game and I defenitely found the gameplay in ktm route the most fun as it doesn't stop you from doing whatever.
>>
>>152683195
You are very unlikely to be able to do KTM in your second playthrough
>>
>>152682436
>>152683195
I don't think I have enough points from my first game to do Kill the Monkey unfortunately.

I guess I'll just do the Kenshin or Ran route then.

Is the Demon Army as obstructive in the Kenshin route compared to the True one?
>>
>>152683605
Not at all, Kenshin route is really different.
Ran route as well.
>>
>>152683605
Keep Kill The Monkey in mind if there are difficult character clears you want, like the Shimazu brothers. The girl routes will give you bonus points just for clearing once.
>>
>>152683605
If it's your second playthrough I would focus on clearing new characters and trying to get the house bonuses. You get the house bonuses of non-route houses by collecting their whole team. You get a little scene where they spend time together in Oda if you successfully unlocked it I think.
>>
Is there any non-bullshit links to Widenyo? I have an english patch and a torrent without peers, but i cant find nor full eng version nor Mamanyonyo to patch
>>
>>152682359
or just git gud. It's possible to take all over the country (except Youkai and Shimazu) before Xavier takes everything over. And yes, you can even in a first game. You need knowledge of event priority to do that though.
>>
How do the saves in Sengoku Rance actually work? If I start a Kenshin route run, decide to go do free for all instead then come back to the Kenshin one will it mess anything up in terms of progress report/score/bonuses?
>>
>>152685773
I tried recently as well. You gotta download from Fuwanovel. It's the only way. Try piratebay or nyaa for a downloadlink. The Fuwanovel version appears to contain no bullshit, luckily.
>>
>>152686706
yeah, thats the dead torrent one. Ill try to hang on to it, maybe some peers will show up. ty mate
>>
What does brutality do in beat blades haruka?
>>
>>152686623
Saves are just separate instances, so you won't see crazy data corruption like that.
>>
>>152686887
Allows you to be an asshole and do more rapey things to the girls.I believe it also leads to an evil route but I didn't have the fucking patience for it, grindy shit with RNG and game-overs out of nowhere can fuck right off.
>>
>>152686887
u can unlock some kinky shit and have brutality endings instead of TRUE LOVE ones
>>
>>152686623
If you rely on autosaves, yes, they will be overwritten.
>>

>>152687391

Does it keep track of cleared routes and bonuses separately or is it just one that gets updated constantly?
>>
>>152686810
oh, you're already attempting to download that one?
I can upload my version to mediafire and then you can download mine, if you want. As far as saves go, I don't know what files you should get rid off for a clean start, but you can figure that out yourself, right?
>>
>>152690008
New thread
>>
>>152686623
>>152689840
The game keeps track of unlocked CGs, your highscore (as in points for New games) and your record separately from your files. If you want to keep track of your saves you can give them a note, like "start of Kenshin route). You can mass delete all saves without notes, so that way the ones you want to keep stay there.
>>
>>152689941
sure! that would be great
