>>146471637
Now I'm sad
I wanted a Satella one, but as the OVA was released just now i won't be even mad.
>>146471969
>>146471960
They left it for the credits if that's any consolation.
Also, they might have bridged it to the ancient Rance OVA, if the ending scene is to be believed. More likely a cute cameo like the others in the wrap-up.
Finished playing 03. The gameplay was OK, but there were only a few H-scenes that were to my taste.
>>146472427
which ones?
How did you like 01?
Why did they even bother with these guys?
>>146472736
who the fuck knows. Lia should destroy their careers for treason.
>Kathtom makes a cameo representing the Free Cities.
>Patton Faction makes a cameo representing Helman.
>Isoroku makes a cameo representing JAPAN.
>Zeth gets nothing.
>>146472523
Feliss, Gele and yellow apostle. I haven't yet played 01, but I'm planning on either playing it or continuing my KR playthrough.
>>146472930
Agreed. The whole thing with Lia was covered up lore-wise. It doesn't make sense that anyone beyond Rance and Sill knew what was going on. I like Menad and Yulan making another appearance + all the monster cameos, but it doesn't make sense.
I'm conflicted about the way they used My Glorious Days. I like where they moved it, but Lia's scene feels empty without it, having played the game this is based on. Another nice touch: everywhere Rance goes after escaping Leazas, the gold bag on Sill's back shrinks as he spends more and more of their money. That's funnier than just leaving it like in the game.
>>146472953
Good taste
>>146473117
Technically, it was. No one knew that Lia was behind everything. They just heard Sill's Fire Blast and came charging in. Rance just told them that the mastermind escaped and they helped a bit.
>>146473605
Close enough. At least the series got better after E1. I didn't like that one. Hopefully Rance 02 gets made. It's kind of a dead end after that though. 4.1 and 4.2? Maybe, but that's all.
Is Merim needed at all in the party of IV?
They really did spend the entire budget on Lia and Maris
>>146474625
That's been confirmed when >>146472736 was seen.
>>146473560
I'm looking forwards to fapping to Lia once my stamina has recovered
>>146474625
Bless MALICE. Happy Maris is a happy me.
>>146474854
I don't know. I can fap to Yulang and menad like that.
>>146474891
>>146475348
Was her nose evaporated?
>>146472953
>Not fapping to Horse pussy.
How do I get these two CGs?
>>146475848
Go see wyoso a few times and later when you get back you see it.
After you defeat Ithere search where you defeated the apostles and you get rarerare stones.
Go back to Rance's house and view them

Lia is at the center, but it is always Maris who has my full attention.

Don't tempt me, anon. I'm going to fap to Lia first.
>>146477565

It actually managed to live up to the hype

????
A woman having muscular reflexes due to pleasure is not arousing? fucking kek
>>146472952
The cameos were in context, the girls from Zeth would be too young.

Yeah that was all pretty good

Better than expected.
Also shouts to the first Rance OVA, cool.

What's up with Maris raising Lia and not her onw parents?
>>146498140
The parents were busy running the most prosperous kingdom on the continent. It's pretty normal for nobles to use wet nurses and the like to raise their kids.

They remembered Isoroku's brother.

What is this naruto shit doing in my hentai game?
>>146503986
But wasn't he active being a bandit all that time between IV and KR?
Black Sword with 30 Attack. Find out that it can reach 80. kek.
>>146512274
Isoroku's brother is important to her plot, and we're talking about one of the major characters in Rance's most famous game.
>Nothing to look forward to in the near future.

?
>>146525643
>>146525790
That looks like it was time consuming to make considering the RNG on the appearance of the chibi's plus their random movement.
>>146528362
I wanted to get Rance & Lia with Maris standing behind them but getting the right positioning with random movement and getting the right combo in the first place is time consuming
>>146528695
Persistence pays off in the end.
>>146525790
>>146529310
Hey. I'm relatively new to VNs. My first VN was Koihime Musou and I want to get into AliceSoft VNs. I really enjoy Rance's premise. Are there any officially translated Rance VNs that came out in America that I can support?
>>146533239
There's no official translated releases as of yet, just fan translated games
>>146533712
Really? That sucks. Wish I could support more VNs, especially those that come from Baseson and Alicesoft.
>>146534214
If you want to play the games I'd recommend learning Japanese, It might take some time but it's much faster than waiting for translations.
> Baseson and Alicesoft.
Baseson's best works are untranslated and Mangagamer isn't going to translated them due to VA costs. Mangagamer seems more interested in Alicesoft's nukige than Rance games.
>>146533239
Not yet. If we're lucky by the end of the year.

>watch maris scene after my 2 am journey

It bothered me on why she's crying and embarassed when lia wakes up
>sleep with politicians for favors normally
>can't handle rance's hyper weapon
Is rance's hyper weapon an anomaly or is her sleeping with politicians overblown?
>>146538484
well the sleeping with politicians might just be from KR
>>146538484
it's because pinkpineapple wanted it, Maris really cares about Lia and because of what Rance wanted
>>146536263
Where is she from?
>>146540750
Evenicle
>>146540750
Ramius from Evenicle
>>146540808
>>146540835
Ah, that one.
Been planning to read it for a while, but anyone here that has actually played it, how good is it?And how good is Ramius as a character?
>>146540928
It's a great game. Wasn't that moved by Ramius herself, but most people here seem to love her, so that's probably just me.
>>146540928
It's really fun. The game is pretty relaxing and while simple it's fun.
It's also really easy to read.
Ramius was my favourite of the 4 main wives but she is a bit of an idiot. She interacts well with Aster and indeed with Rance in the preorder bonus
>>146541034
>>146541076
Thanks, might give it a chance then.
>>146541034
her dynamic with aster is probably the best, but I, myself, like the twin nee-san the most.
riche and erimo are probably my least favorites
>>146541768
I liked Kath the most, then the twins andTowa. She's super cute.
Surprisingly, 4th episode of Rance01 was good!
>>146541853
well they had good material to work with
surely we can get some more Rance X info soon?

>Mangagamer seems more interested in Alicesoft's nukige than Rance games.
Why?
>>146531440fuckmarry
>>146547528
They've only released Haruka so far, which is a Nukige, but it really depends what they release next.
>>146534835
>due to VA costs.
They could just keep the original voices like sane people would do anyway
>>146547645
Yeah and they have to pay license fees to the VA studios
>>146547645
They're not dubbing it, that would certainly be insane. It's that the original voices cost a lot too. Especially the Koihime series which has over two dozen voices per game. It's also near MinatoSoft-tier.
>>146548080
Depends on what kinda contract they sign. Probably isn't the case here since I'm pretty sure VNs are really good to voice actors, but they could sign away their rights to that.
>/vg/ is moving faster than /a/
>>146550284
It's exactly what Baseson had to do and why the initial release of Koihime was unvoiced and they had to sell x number of copies to get voices.
Most VAs work for studios which are contracted to provide voices.
It's why voices are one of the most expensive parts of VN productions
>>146551162
Just a reminder that voice acting in Japan is huge compared to it in the West.
>>146551361
It's pretty huge in the west too. It's just all the good ones are unionized and expensive as fuck. Japan has a totally different system based on seniority even the really good ones can be cheap depending on how long they've been at it.
>>146481315
Oh god I thought that guard's on the near left cheeckbone was his eye, his jaw his mouth and the small line his nose.
>>146551361
Yeah no shit.
And the Japanese industry especially for eroge (which generally does not get the best VAs - with of course many notable exceptions) still does work by contracting work to studios who negotiate various deals for their VAs and themselves which can interfere with the localisation process because some contracts make the VA studio a third party in the localisation deal
>>146550970
/a/ doesn't have a 140 generals trying to avoid page 10
>>146541853
The constant swapping between gloves and no gloves triggered me way too much.
>>146554469
I don't know why but that pose triggers me.
>>146556419
For some reason Rance is occasionally really irritating in the ova
shouldn't they be destroying Kathtom?
>>146557518
Yes.
>>146557518
Well they're hard at work destroying anatomy so maybe Kathtom comes later.
So, now that I think I can figure something out of japanese, what's the easiest game to read?
>>146560095
Probably 01 or 03. They're very straight-forward.
>>146560095
If you're used to watching anime, then 03 as it's the only one voiced.
>>146557518
No rings from the look of it, maybe they were on the way to get them right now.
>Anime Rance could have stopped it all in one day.
>Could have banged all four without knowing Mill was a loli
>Might not have to become a homo
>>146564813
Wasn't the ring the reason that Mill was grown up?
>>146564907
It was the magic specifically from the ring that gave her the transformation, so maybe the anime some unexplained magic car battery she's using in the meantime since she clearly doesn't have the ring.

Question about SR, is it possible to capture Agireda during the Shimzu blitz?
Yes, in fact, that's where most people capture her.
>>146568214
Before the release of the episode 4 of the OVA, I was reading these nonprofessional reviews (although what kind of professional would review hentai OVAs), there were a lot of amusing ones that disliked the show for having a lot of rape/rance's character. But the most funniest one was centered around rance being a 2d version ofcharlie sheen. How accurate is the comparison?
>>146568450
I don't rememberCharlieconquering counties, raping Princesses and kill/raping demons.
>disliked the show for having a lot of rape/rance's character
You should make a point of ignoring people who can't separate fantasy from reality

>You should make a point of ignoring people who can't separate fantasy from reality
That's what he meant by "amusing".
>>146568897
On a second read of it, good point.
>>146568781
Quest
Question for anyone who has done a 5 Star No Bonus run of SR. How do you normally go about capturing Isoroku?
I can never decide with of these tactics is best:
A) Try to grab her at the Oil Field's final battle.
B) Let Owari be conquered up to the castle, and then just let her come to you.
C) Attack Ashikaga at every opportunity, until so many of their units are damaged to the point where Isoroku is forced to appear, preferably in an attack on your turf.
Option A is the only choice that isn't dependent on luck (well, outside of Ashikaga reclaiming their land) but it's the toughest fight you'll ever have against her.
Option B is insanely risky, if you get attacked too many times per turn, you can get a Game Over and you're also betting everything on luck, but if Isoroku does appear, she's yours.
Option C is the middle ground, but sooner or later I can see C just becoming A due to not being able to attack anywhere else.

Lots of soccer, and some bumping.
What were you banned for?
>>146592476
Not posting video games on /v/
>>146592826
Happens to all of us.
>>146592826
People can get banned over that on /v/? I'm surprised.
>>146594747
Banned for not posting video games is impossible. /v/ is a blue board, so the only way that you can be banned there is through blatant porn.

I just discovered a new SR tactic, if you're low on money, and need your troops healed, do pic related against the Tenshi riots.
>>146586206
This turns me on way too much
>>146601494
p10
Y'know, for a pretty fucking absurd challenge run, I'm astounded by how lazy I'm being. I couldn't even be fucking bothered to fight Tokugawa or Imagawa.
Fun facts:
Turn 63 and I still don't have the Battle Permits.
Isoroku died to the Tenshi Sect.
In sharp contrast to my Kenshin Route run, I took Uesugi from Kensai in under two turns (they could barely protect themselves, they had less than 30 commanders before Kenshin was captured).
I'm getting very lucky with regular textbooks, with Rance at all 6s, I'm struggling to figure out who to give them to.
I'm dreading catching Ran, but Niwa is still alive, so it could be ok.
Despite this post, I feel like I'm caring too much about my troops, after all, I'm going the Ran route.
Weird, despite Ranmaru having 1k troops, I got the mercs. I guess the requirement to not get them must be a >1k Foot.
p10
Good old Light Attack (put it on Nozomi after getting the Charm of the Immortal Fox Deity for Natori), Ran was easy, got her on the first try.Guess I've won the route then.
Ran route is piss easy on 5 star because it's all dungeon battles
>>146580314
Wait i thought some anon said My Glorious Days never played during the OVA
>>146609415
>Ran route is piss easy on 5 star because it's all dungeon battles
I know... I'm only doing Ran because aside from KTM, I've beat all the other routes on 5 Star No Bonus and I really didn't feel like taking up an anon's challenge of not using any Foots on KTM (not that the route matters too much, you've basically won the game once you've beat Uesugi).
>>146610639
It doesn't play during the sex scene but it plays during the credits

In Rance IX for Tillday's calculator cube level is the goal to have Rance and Tillday's health be equal? Their damage?
>>146612132

I quite like how power has been divided here.As always, Takeda was a pushover, even with the fact that I let them use their general for Kai's last battle.
