You say that now, but keep going and you'll get to the best part of the VN. I know how you feel, but it does get better very soon.
Every game has its flaws, but Evenicle's highlights are so fantastic and its overall production so great that I'm willing to overlook them.

>>170015706
>VN

>>170015772
>not a VN

>>170015871
It's anything but a VN.

>>170015919
https://vndb.org/v16640
It's exactly a VN, just because it has some gameplay moments in-between the story doesn't negate that.

>>170016010
Having a page on VNDB doesn't make it a VN.

>>170016069
So what is it that doesn't make it a VN then?

Haven't you seen Alicesoft's logo?
It's an eroge.

>>170017587
Is this before the MC marries her? I'm not seeing a magical ring on her finger.

>>170019132
And the vast majority of eroge are VNs.

>>170019326
Not Alicesoft's.

>>170019375
Why not? You still haven't given a single reason why they're not classed as VNs. They have text at the bottom and sprites of cute girls on the screen to tell a story, just like any other VN.

>>170019519
Is Blazblue a VN? It has sprites and text at the bottom and decisions (what happens in combat) decide how the story progresses.

>>170019741
Yes, it is.

>>170019519
Those things aren't exclusive to VNs. Hell, of the recent Alicesoft games the closest to a VN is Rance IX and it doesn't have text at the bottom.
Do you think every JRPG is a VN?

>>170017587
You are pretty close to come across the main villains

>>170019519
It's a H-RPG

>>170019519
Because 90% of the time is spent in the RPGs

>>170019257
After

>>170023753
Have you played Evenicle?
I certainly didn't spend 90% of the time in gameplay. Maybe 50%

>>170023856
Yeah. And nobody who has played it would consider it a VN apart from those people who lump everything into VNs because they have no idea.

Why is 2ch so obsessed with Sheila?

>>170024325
Why aren't you?

>>170024325
She is cute

>>170024550
Not a good reason when just about every girl is cute

>>170024325
She's hot.

in Rance VI who should I give the toxic avoider to?

Whoever you want, literally doesn't matter. Almost everything is up to you and trial and error.

>>170026543
>>170026543
give toxics to level capped characters

playing rance 6, should i give sill to the slaver guy? doesnt feel right desu

>>170027923
Yes, it increases Sill's love points.

>>170027923

Only if you are okay with getting cucked as hard as possible.

>>170028048
>>170028150
k thx

one last question and ill stop bothering you

ive been saving my red kewpons assuming they'll come in useful later but now i have 10+... should i just get all presents with them?

>>170028758
Knock yourself out. I saved them all until the post game and then ended up not using any.

>>170028758

Use them as you'd like. I used them for eagle orbs and for presents because at the end of the game, you want to raise all of your relationship levels to max and presents are the easiest way to do it.

It mainly depends on how often you grind to collect orbs.

>>170028758
Save them for end game.

Which of the Rance games explains the inner workings of the planner scenario like skill levels, hero system, etc?

>>170053090
None of the games. Almost all the info comes from Alicesoft's website and magazines.

>>170053090
Mostly supplementary materials

>Which of the Rance games explains the inner workings of the planner scenario like skill levels, hero system, etc?
This always interests me. I've only played about half of the games, but I don't recall them ever doing much with their system's unique aspects like people being aware of their levels. Do any of the games do much with this?

>>170061259
Rance IV literally starts off with Rance bemoaning how he dropped to lvl 1 and he has to kill easy mobs for experience.

If I'm not mistaken, Rance III starts off with a similar thing where he talks about how he was lvl 50 or so, and was wondering where the hell they vanished to (hint: it's because he's lazy)

>>170061259
Well people are aware of their levels and stuff. And in VI they go on about how Shizuka can't do White Destruction Beam anymore

>>170061259

I think the hero was mentioned a few times but never actually appeared, I think levels is an important story aspect in Rance Quest due to the curse.

Getting back into Sengoku Rance. Does anyone have that gigantic map of the Hanny kingdom with

>>170061259
Rance can't fuck any girl under level 35 for most of Quest

Just wondering, is it worth playing VIII and IX with a machine translator or should I just wait for a translation?

>>170064736
play IX without the MT and just look at character's faces

this is works only if you've played KR before since you know the gist of it, just look at the characters' faces for the plot. if you don't understand why something exists, it probably doesn't matter. (read: Chao Pitten)

>>170064736

Machine translators spit out garbage 99% of the time, may as well play blind and just learn what the buttons do you'll have the same level of understanding.

>>170064883
So far I have played I II III 5D VI SR KR
I know the plot of VIII and IX but I'm interested in the character interaction and the story of the new characters, like Miracle

>>170064736

What sort of armor does Rance wear? Is it half-plate?

>>170023753
Does that mean their wedding bands show up and disappear whenever they feel like it?

>>170024537
Not him, but she's too thin. If she had more muscle or Toushin destroying thighs, it might help.

>>170040086
Is Helman an empire or a kingdom? If it's an empire, I'm not sure which countries are below it.

>>170066763
Its an Empire

>>170066763
An Empire doesn't actually need other countries under it.

Todays Japanese twitter Rance drawing theme is Sill so I have no real interest in it.

>>170067348
If it doesn't have any other country under it, what makes it different from a kingdom?

>>170071159
Its called an Empire

The whole Empires need other countries things as a Western European hangup over Rome.

What real life haircut would be the most similar to Rance's?

>>170086774
We already knew they were giant assholes based on their conversation with Papaya's best friend.

>>170088046
The Japanese place an equal sign between the first and last name of foreign people to indicate that the first name is the first name and the last is the last. That doesn't make any sense in this context though because she's Japanese with a Japanese name (no idea what Kentou means though) and they already flipped her name around.

>>170092971
She looks cheap. Probably isn't even as expensive as Rance's carriage cow.

>>170114523
Kentou isn't actually her surname

>>170114836
Was it her clan's surname? I'm not one for Japanese names, but I remember the guys with the giant scissors trying to cut Kanami in half in Sengoku Rance having a different clan name.

>>170115001
Kentou was her ninja name given to her by the clan when she became a genin.

But everyone still called her Kanami

>>170115352
Is Genin the rank you're given before you pass the ninja entry exam? I remember Kanami never passed any of their tests.

>>170115483
Genin is the lowest of the lows. Kanami did pass that one.

>>170115916
I hope she needed to pass the same tests she could pass in Rance VI to become an athlete in order to pass that one.

>>170116123
She failed the first time and its almost unfailable

>>170116352
Do you have any idea what is part of that exam?

Also, I just noticed that both Orion and Gyokai are in on this. They may not draw together on the same game, but they do talk about lore together, I guess.

>>170024325
She is cute and cute is justice.

>>170116585
>She's also affected by the Morurun curse
Do they mean that she's start liking men like Rance if she doesn't have sex with a woman every so often or are they saying Rance's curse took her levels?

Any fanart of Rance doing his Rance Attack?

>>170118967
She says her true feelings

>>170119286
Does she criticize Rance's sexual performance every night he's with a girl over level 35 from above his ceiling?

>>170119880
too busy masturbating

>>170119880
That might explain why Rance seems to have lots of sex outside of his room : in a cave, in the mud, off a cliff.

I'm imaging Kanami would yell at Rance things like "Why don't you try giving her a nice long kiss before taking off your clothes"
or
"Look at what you did, she dropped down to level 1 and now she's a ghost because of you."

>>170120643
I wonder if Kanami watched all the Rance and Shizuka kissing and got jealous?

>>170120782
It was either her or Freya that was watching him, assuming that Helman houses have false ceilinsg for ninjas to watch the room.

>>170121124
They use one of those portable mansions from VI.

And Kanami is his personal ninja

>>170121251
Doesn't that just happen in her ending of Rance IX and not in the true route?

>>170121364
It happens in true route as well

>>170121364
It's the one thing from her route that gets carried through to the true route. All the routes in IX have something like that, which is why you have to clear all routes to see the true end.

>>170123904
Too bad he isn't wearing a lab coat and glasses as well or else he would be doctor butler Rance.

>>170121590
What's carried over from the other routes? I'm not expecting Rance IX the be translated any time soon, so I'm fine with spoilers.

>>170119240
I haven't seen any, but I only see the fan art from here.

>>170124520
Sen impregnation

>>170024627
Maybe Sheila is more reminiscent of princesses in Japanese fairy tales. She seems more dependent on Rance than any other princess on the continent: Lia is rich and commands a mostly trustworthy army while Magic has White destruction beam.

>>170125905
From what people have said, Sheila seems like blue Sill reborn.

>>170126036
That's just meming

>>170126318
I haven't played Rance IX. From what people have said, Sheila is basically Sill but with an actually defined family.

Sheila is like Sill except she isn't a complete doormat when it comes to certain things, because she actually has convictions and a personality beyond being Rance's slave. She's basically what Sill would've been if Sill had any character development.

>>170130203
>a bit dangerous
What does it mean? I also recall a similar label at Kanami rape.

Didn't pick either. What happens?

>>170130689
The path of the lolicon does nothing at first, but leads to a joke ending if you keep doing it.
Kanami rape sends her back home.

They're pretty heavily referenced during the events in them. I guess you could say they are relevant.

Rance 02 has a lot of good scenes,too bad they're so short and can't see them after you're done with them

I'm so fucking pissed over what happened to Kou-chan.

So is there a time limit to how long it takes to attack Xavier or can I dick around and prepare?

>>170142265
There technically is a time limit, but you can delay it indefinitely. So just remember to do that one event and you can go on forever.
Still, the game basically threats your entire first playthrough as a tutorial. There's no point in delaying too much.

>>170142265
You can dick around and prepare.

>>170142265

Dick around and prepare.

>>170118967
>She's also affected by the Morurun curse
Having sex with rance drops her level to 1 and counts as being affected
>>170119286
While the thoughts-out-loud was also called Morurun, if my Japanese wasn't failing me at the time I played, the Kanami bio mentions two different courses and we should assume Morurun implies Rance's strain. And I believe it's much more "thinking out loud" than "says her true feelings"

Yeah, I'm starting with the map though because it's probably the most technically obnoxious part

The colored regions are what enable clicking, and those work, and the marks (the little country markers) and the mark highlighter work, but for some reason it black screens even though there are an identical number of files and the masks (the things that flash when a county has been clicked on) should be in the right place down to the pixel... It's a little annoying :/

I don't mean save scumming do you seriously not use your your ninja or anyone with high search to see what the enemy has and plan accordingly. On my second playthrough I never lost a single battle nor unit because I make sure I have a fuck off amount of foot soldiers and an eat shit amount of dps.

>We should ignore people that don't have at least one thousand save files in Sengoku Rance.
It's funny, you're probably joking and I'm sitting here with an unironic 1684 even despite the fact that I've not savescummed in a very long time. If I bothered to learn how to do a points run I'd probably break 3k.

What's points runner anon at?

>>170167008
>First game I didn't know you should savescum and lost a few good commanders
So what? The first game wins itself and once you're ready to take on 5 star you should be good enough to not lose good people with any frequency.

>>170167574
I wasn't joking. 1000 might be a little harsh on my part. Before my hard drive crashed, I believe I was at something like 5000+ saves just on the main route and the three side routes in order to get most of the family bonuses.

>>170167818
It took you 5k saves just to get the family bonuses? I think the only bonus that took me even over 500 saves to get was one of the Gold Statues.

>>170168367
That's the case from what I remember. I lost my hard drive like five years ago. Though I'm the type of guy who saves at the start of a turn, after every action and at the end of the turn, so it adds up. The fact that you can only save in one phase per turn in Daibanchou was one reason why I only ever bothered beating it once.

check out this star-studded commander list from my first game, had to rely on the demon army suddenly retreating at turn 91 otherwise I would've lost

I tried to take on xavier and lost (i had too much honor to rely on alice dropping his level), but afterwards conquered dokuganryuu and masamune's wives were enough firepower.

With the exception of demon kentarou seemingly everyone dies as easily as common retainers, causing game overs.

Also, is it possible to use assasination/whirlwind against essential characters? Not for killing them, but for destroying their unit.

NEW GAME

Load up your #1,000 SR save (or the closest you've got, if you've deleted number 1,000 - round up if needed) and post a description of it here.

Mine's a bit of a weird Kenshin route save. Seemingly 5 Star. All of my Permits are unequipped for some reason and I seem to have done a lot of dungeons, items in the Item Shop now cost 15 bones each (that does mean I've bought stuff, right? The Wiki doesn't comment on if taking item bonuses effects the shop) and I've hardly cleared anyone. Kenshin is level 65 and is equipped with the Uesugi Charge Unit. Bonuses have clearly been taken.

Man, I have no fucking clue. Maybe this was my first Kenshin Route run? That seems a bit crazy if it was 5 Star and on my 1k save.

Pic related, I wouldn't be surprised if I savescummed to redo this run. With the knowledge I have today I'd just suicide Kenshin into a few fights and win the race that way.

Thoughts, /haniho/?

Rance and the route heroine are usually solid units.

Depends who. If you've got a unit who can't be fired then they can't be assassinated either. As for enemy units they're a bit of a mixed mag. To the best of my knowledge, anyone who is currently critical to the story cannot be effected by insta-kill moves expect for Ran and Isoroku after they've become captureable. There's also some weirdness in the "currently critical" part, for example you can't insta-kill a Takeda general unless they've left Takeda.

non-contiguous countries. namely, Houjou, Shimazu, and Tenshi

Although it should be feasible to add on Kalar forest exclusively for FFA, it's not really a location in the KR campaign and has no need to be interact-able. Admittedly, it does look weird having parts of the map non-colored, so I might just have an empty country?

>Why does it look like shit
because instead of having each country's flag be an image laid under the world map, they have separate images of the flag and the map, with and without the leader, for a total of something like 40 images.
Also, numbers are above the map, but the legend is below it? Probably just going to have a top half overlay

>>170177247
Well, Minerva gets gems from the kalar forest to upgrade her troops
The zone also correspond to the green disease village, so since it can help "beat" a dark lord (I don't remember his name), it can be useful
making it a neutral country that cannot be attacked but you can interact with is possible?

I'll try to throw it in before I go to bed tonight. Editing the number of regions is sketch because they hardcoded the number to iterate through in the for loops, which goes up to 33 despite there being 31 regions

How many kanji should you know to be able to play rance games fluently? I've started learning japanese two month ago because of the strong desire to beat untranslated rance games and if it'll take me more than 1.5-2 years I might've as well waited for translations.

Not really. Even if all the Rance games were translated in that time, you'd still know Japanese and be able to play all other Alicesoft games and more

>>170181401

You going to put in modern character images?

>>170180990
It really depends on the game. 01 and 02 have simplistic everyday dialogue with some exceptions, to the point where I suspect that 01 can work as babby's first eroge. On the other hand sengoku is pretty annoying about the phrases it uses. Evenicle isn't a Rance game but it's one of the hardest games/VNs I've played [admittedly I haven't played that many]. I haven't played the others but my confident guess would be that they're not particularly hard, most of the rare words are jargon that repeats often and you learn it eventually.

>>170181569
Yeah, and South Japan got shafted pretty hard. AL Church is hardly a province either. Under the soft constraint of 33 regions, what would you regroup?

Maybe. The thing I don't want is to alternate between old and new. For testing (this is still just proof of concept) I'm just going to crop KR CGs

No, that was chapter 4. I'm nearly at chapter 6 and the quest marker is still there, so I assume it's a sidequest I have to pick up somewhere else. Like the one with the kalars near the golden hanny, that you start by talking to the poppins.

>>170156863
You really missed out, that combo was basically all I used Gurigura for, it's great.
It's very important to search everywhere for treasure in Evenicle, since you can miss some essential skills. I found this out when I came back to the starting area at the end of the game, it was a disaster.

>>170207885
Well, I found it in the second antidote garden, so I didn't miss it. Maybe I was unlucky in not getting it as a random drop until now though. Until now Gurigura was just for stuns + normal attack loaded with random effects, which was a bit weak but not too bad.

The character I do find weak is Kathryn, since all her skills are very expensive and her normal attack isn't much better than Ramius. But it doesn't matter since the game doesn't push the party anywhere near its limit.

>>170207562

If you had assign Continent countries to real-life countries, which would you assign Zeth, Leazas, and Free Cities to? Helman is clearly Russia, and Japan is, Japan; I'm thinking Italy for Zeth, but I'm not sure.
This is for the name generator, which yandere translations somehow didn't patch?

Zeth I'd go with France.

Leazas just use anglo names.

Free Cities should be Portugal at least. Keep it close to canon.

Free Cities should be a bunch of different factions. One which is Portuguese.

>>170251914
Zeth is India.

>Ruler named Gandhi
>Massive economic inequality and difference between castes of citizens
>Entrenched caste system gives certain citizens exclusive rights to learn reading/writing and entry into gov't positions
>Huge wasteland to the north
>Gets invaded from the west a few times but eventually prevails
>Lots of jungle and swamp but also deserts, generally a hot place
>Architecture is reminiscent of indigenous Indian or Indian Muslim buildings
>Flag has a wagon wheel on it

So for Zeth I'd do Indian or Persian-sounding names. Stuff that sounds exotic and eastern, but not the FAR east.

Free Cities' closest corollary is the Holy Roman Empire (that's where the word Free City comes from in the first place), or even the United Provinces, but really I'd say that each city has its own culture. One is named after Portugal for example because it trades with Japan like IRL Portugal did. So use all different kinds of European names there.

I'd say that Leazas is either modern period France (large prosperous country with dominion over its general area, a noble class curtailed by a powerful absolute ruler, strong central authority even though it's a monarchy) or just a generic fantasy kingdom. Remember that Leazas was the first country to appear in a Rance game so it might've just been a generic fantasy setting at first. So I'd use Anglo-French sounding names here.
