I've updated the pastebin to include the Sengoku Rance points guide faq
Is Torako no mad now?
Is there any interesting in doing a combined playthrough off the English games?
Some of the Japanese reading posters did it with a couple of the untranslated games.
In ten years time the Evenicle series will be seen as greater than Rance ever was.
>>147996902
I am up for it
>>147997396
I loved Evenicle but I have major doubts.
Characters and the interactions are much better in Rance.
I'm looking forward to any Evenicle sequel but I can't see it every matching the scope of the Rance series
>>147997396
Yet to play it but it still bothers me way too much the art style looks nice but resemblessenran kagura, which isn't a bad in any way but I likehomuratoo much
Although if they make a similar looking character I would be fine with that claim
>>147997704
Literally the same artist

>>147997704
It's the same artist so obviously the art is the same.
Ramius best girl.
Silent hottest girl
>>147997808
>>147998273
That was poorly worded from me, I know it's the same artist but I just mean when I see it makes me think that there's no homura-like character in a H game that's all
>>147998649
wait until Evenicle II
Looks like Shizuka and Isoroku get the views
>>147997396
Eh, the faces are too squishy for me. It makes characters look too young and it ruins it. Some of the more mature-looking girls like Silent are good though.
Also, Aster has no chance of ever reaching Rance levels of infamy, even if they end up pulling off his character development well.
It'll be popular, sure, but nothing more.
>>148000249
I also prefer the 03 and IX art
holy shit why is the rance lore so goood?

Did not see that coming at all. I assumed there'd be more Retia.
>>147997396
Frankly, i don't care at all for an Evenicle sequel. The whole "lets go to different dimensions" thing just isn't very compelling to me.
>>148005824
Well I'd hope that it's about fixing what Felton managed to point out was incorrect without going extremist and Aster learning to think for himself
>>148005895
Well it should progress in that direction considering they party was contemplating on Felton's words in the epilogue
>>148006108
Yeah it's what I'm interested in about Evenicle.
The other world fragments just provides for new areas to explore. And I enjoyed the different regions of Evenicle anyway
>>147997396
>not even best girl in her own game
>>148007042
Well it's not like the main girl being the best girl in the game happens often

Playing Sengoku Rance for the first time.
So I conquered Ashikaga and Hara and declared war on Tokugawa. I'm having trouble dealing with their counterattacks.
Also, wasn't expecting a two front war with Tenshi. I'm getting fucked in the ass right now, especially with the riots piling up.
Did I fuck up? Should I go back and declare war on someone else?
>>148010650
Tokugawa is going to be pretty strong, you can capture most of the racoon dogs though, the riots are actually not that hard to deal with, one okay troop should be plenty.
You could reload but I think playing through a disaster can be fun.
>>148010725
I think I'm going to restart. I don't have enough troops to attack and defend twice. Plus, I'm pretty sure all my guys are shit cause I have no idea how leveling works.
Is there an ideal order of who I should declare war on?
>>148010650
Tokugawa should normally wait until either Mukests or Tanegashima.
Basically you kill Tokugawa over multiple turns.
But just focus on killing Tenshi Sect for now
>>148010973
>>148010973
Post your roster
>>148010973
Post your roster
If you're in big trouble don't be afraid to give up minor castles.
Only the last castle of a province decides ownership
>>148010973
This is the natural course of a first playthrough.
>>148010973
Just let them take everything but the last one. Keep attacking them. Once you conquer them the ownership of everything else will flip back to you
>>148011198
I know, but I'm terrible at this game.
>>148011224
>>148011309
Basically starting guys and like 3 foot soldiers.
>>148011414
What, what the fuck. The Mori's gonna attack me too?
>>148011484
>The Mori's gonna attack me too?
If you get next to them they'll either attack you or force one of the smaller countries next to them to attack you.
>>148011484
I fucked it up in first one too. Why are you not raising your troop count? 27k gold and stuff to invest it seems quite a waste of money.
>>148011671
>Why are you not raising your troop count?
I have no idea. I thought the cost at the bottom indicates how much more increasing troops is gonna cost me.
I'm trying to read up on how the game mechanics work but the wiki skims over a lot of things.
>>148011898
That cost there is the National Power cost for the unit i believe.
>>148011898
By how much more I mean National Power.
Also, I noticed that my troop count is going up and I don't know why.
>>148012002
Your troops get very slightly bigger after each battle, how much depends on what type they are.
>>148004436
There's a fuckton of Retia, I don't know how you are searching.
>>148012002
Every time you win a battle some number appear on top of your units. Those are new troops that they acquired from participating in the battle.
>>148011484
And you reinforcements from Zeth I see
You're not actually doing too bad
>>148012065
Still not enough
>>148004436
Even all of Tougous daughter combined doesn't fill a page on pixiv. Retia has pages.
>>148012286
Really? Well that's good to hear
Anyways thanks for the advice everyone. I just managed to blitz Tokugawa and barely beat Ieyasu.
Now to deal with the Tenshi.
>>148013652
recruit Sen as soon as possible
>>148013954
Why do you think I fought the Tokugawa in the first place?
>>148014084
How'd you know about Sen?
>>148014113
I checked out the char sheet before I was even interested in the game.
I know it kills the whole unspoiled experience but it's what got me playing in the first place.
>>148014113
probably from a thread on /a/ or /v/
>>148014084
You have top taste.
>>148014331
Sen a shit

>I've updated the pastebin to include the Sengoku Rance points guide faq
You've put it in a bit of a weird place. For consistency, wherever it does get put, it should be in the same place as the 'Sengoku Rance Hacking Guide'.
>>148010650
>Playing Sengoku Rance for the first time.
Fucking hell, there's so many new people.
> I'm getting fucked in the ass right now, especially with the riots piling up.
You don't need to waste moves to stop the riots, they'll trigger at the end of your turns and at most only one can happen per turn. You don't even need a good unit to beat them, almost anyone will do.
>Did I fuck up? Should I go back and declare war on someone else?
Tokugawa is ambitious, but you've not fucked up by any means.
>>148010725
> I don't have enough troops to attack and defend twice
Who says that you have to? Let your enemies take a little bit of ground so you can focus your troops on the offence.
>>148011484
Rance needs more troops, otherwise I don't see anything alarming, although I should probably inform you that Rizna, Hara Shouji and the generics that you've recruited are generally seen as shit, although there's no harm in keeping them, particularly given that you're playing on the lowest difficulty.
Also, are you on a non-Jap locale? 'Commanders m24/26' isn't normal.
>>148011898
>I'm trying to read up on how the game mechanics work but the wiki skims over a lot of things.

>5 Stars no bonus, no foot soldiers and a 30 turns speedrun. Can you take the challenge anon?
> I'm not sure if any route other than KTM can be beaten (or on a bonusless run, even entered) in under 30 turns.
So, I've thought about this more overnight. I think I might've been wrong, maybe I'll test this later, but here's an idea.
For the sake of our new players, I've spoilered the rest of this post.
Conquer Ashikaga->Pop Oda's gourd->Conquer Iga->Feed monkey->Conquer Tenshi Sect->Hopefully the border you have with Akashi will make them declare war before turn 30, vassal them->You can now enter the True or Isoroku route.
Although that's just my attempt at entering a route before turn 30. Actually beating a route is a whole other issue:
Ran isn't an option for obvious reasons.
Isoroku is probably impossible, even ignoring some of the more obvious stuff, according to the wiki, it takes like 25 turns for Keikoku to even be introduced.
Kenshin might be an option, but I'm worry about if you can even conquer Uesugi by turn 30. Nevermind entering the race... maybe I'll try it.
True is the only one that I can see as theoretically possible and even then you'd probably have to beat the game without finding the lemons for Miki, which would mean that you've have to somehow survive Shikibu's extreme attempts to protect Africa. Yeah, that'll be a fucking tough one, but at least it may be possible, although the turns spent waiting for the Demon Army to even appear will be a major set back.
>>148020052
Ok, yeah - it's not possible in True, even when I was hacking for autowins,I couldn't break 5 gourds until turn 26 (a lot of events need to happen before certain numbers of broken gourds can be reached).
I'll try Kenshin, but if that doesn't work, the challenge, as written, isn't just hard, it's impossible.
Dumped my Shizuka folder onto the Hannybooru.
We now have over 1000 images (1024) with over 300 tagged with Shizuka.
No excuses for not having images to bump with for the birthday edition thread at the end of the month.
Now that I know there is a duplicate image checking mechanism I'll dump my other Alicesoft folders this month.
As for now. It's time to sleep
>>148020052
>>148023204
Here's the biggest problem with the challenge. Gourd mechanics are weird, Ashikaga has been conquered since like turn 5 and their gourd still hasn't broke.
>>148020052
>>148024762
>>148023204
Success!
Looks like I forgot an important detail from the wiki (apparently turn 23 is the earliest that you can enter Kenshin), but fuck it. Let's see if Kenshin can be beat in 6 turns.
Is there a way to have Rance know where Sill is imprisoned?
The player knows where she is, but only because of events.
>>148025349
I assume you're talking about KR. I think that after conquering the territory where she's imprisoned he hears that there's a prison in the city and checks it out or something like that.
>>148025349
A new Kichikuou player?
RIP Annis
>>148025665
Yeah. After conquering it he says that someone told him that she was there. But i wanted to know if there was something that made him aware of her location previous to that.
>>148025724
No, i'm not a "new" KR player. It still is the second time i'm playing it.This time i won't kill her.Maybe.
>>148025831
It's not mentioned. He probably had Maris investigate in each Helman city he conquered since he knew she was in one of themif alive.
>>148025343
>Looks like I forgot an important detail from the wiki (apparently turn 23 is the earliest that you can enter Kenshin), but fuck it. Let's see if Kenshin can be beat in 6 turns.
Once again, spoilered for the new folk.Ok. It's impossible. Firstly I think that the wiki means that you can't enter the route until turn 24, but I'll assume that you can actually enter it on 23.
Enter on 23, lose all actions due to the entry.
Turn 24, lose all actions due to Xavier.
Turn 25 - you now have 5 turns to beat the race, exorcise Nobunaga and defeat Orochi.
Me being me, to prove the impossibility of all this, I hacked and won the race on what would be turn 26 (I misclicked and ended the would be turn 25 when I was trying to get Kenshin to win the route in a single turn, by then she had 66 points), aside from causing hilarious sequence breaking, it did what I wanted it to. On what would be turn 29, the Demon Army became fightable and I banished them, putting me again on 0 fans.
So, turn 30? It's fucked, you don't find out where Xavier's gone until the end of the turn, so you can't stop him in time - the challenge, as written is impossible.
Pic related - notice how Xavier is in the 'Demon Army Base' before he's even conquered Shimazu.
>>148029718
>there are people who cosplay as eroge character.
>>148031563
Why not? Shizuka's design is pretty tame and cute.
>>148031563
>>148031845
Mostly because of what the characters themselves imply makes cosplaying as them strange.
>>148032036
Well beauty of cosplaying porn characters is you don't have to tell anyone where you're from, and anyone who calls you out on it would have to admit they follow porn games enough to recognize the character.
>>148032440
It's not like people that do know about them won't feel invited to harass the cosplayer.I wonder if a Kanami cosplayer would understand if i raised my hand to her showing three fingers
>>148034053
Japanese event cosplayer probably would.
>>148025724
On my first playthrough, Sill was turned into a cow at the time when Shizuka left to duel Ragarl, so I ended up with Annis.
My first playthrough of Kichikuou was a beautiful mess.
>Reading the wiki page about Foot Rot
Serves me right for steamrolling through VI without a knowledge of moon. I assumed he was some minor thug guy.
>>148035386
He basically is a minor thug guy. The secondary Pentagon guys appear like once each. They all get a decent bit of backstory and characterization though, which is cool.
Steamrolling through VI seems kind of pointless. Did you miss out on all of the sidequests?
>>148035386
I'm kind of impressed you even beat it, let alone had the drive to stumble through it.
Seriously.
The H scenes in KR are very well written. Too bad they are short.
That one wehre Leila tells Rance that she loves Rick and he insists to do it one last time, him complaining all the time and Leila moaning.FUCK
>>148035784
All I know is that I never once even saw Nagi.
>>148036028
That scene's great. Kichikuou is really Leila's peak.
I also think the more conservative Royal Guard outfit of Kichikuou is better than the normal really revealing one. They should've stuck with it.
>>148036189
Yeah, prefer it too. It still shows their legs, so it keeps the sexy theme there.
>>148036035
I'm sorry for your loss. VI is also one of the better games in terms of writing. You learn a lot about Zeth, and certain characters like Urza and Patton have really good character arcs. You really can't play it blind.
>>148036471
I almost couldn't believe how much Urza changed coming from the perspective of SR. She really grew. fantastic character.
Following the earlier dumps, I've (lazily)flooded the Hannybooru with my Daiteikoku folder. Some of isn't Retia. Only some. Enjoy.
>>148036320
It's kind of funny that the game where Rance takes control of Leazas has the Royal Guard wear the least revealing uniform.
>>148036838
Best girl.
>>148037079
Is Goebbels just Maris as a Nazi in Daiteikoku?
>>148037191
She really is. I'm surprised she isn't talked about more, but then I guess she hasn't been in the last couple games.
When the fuck are we getting more info on X?
>>148037367
She's more like just an idol singer's manager. She is really devoted to her though, but not to Maris levels, I'd say.
You don't even get a threesome with them. Instead you get Retia and the shitty glasses gal no one cares about.
>>148037367
I want a Maris in a Nazi uniform. Where are the drawfags? KR Nazi Maris when.
>>148037418
I assume most people have only seen her in Sengoku, where she doesn't get much time. Same with Rizna, though Urza is way better than her imo.
>>148037738
>Implying there are any drawfags
If you wish hard enough, you may get a TADA-quality drawing, but that's it.
>>148001574
I like Wailing too. It is very good.
>>148036838
It's a shame that she lost to Magic The "Worst" Gandhi in the popularity polls.
>>148038453
It's crazy how little my opinion of Magic improved after playing through VI. It made me like her chubby little friend and Alex a lot more though, so I guess that's something.
>>148038453
No way. Really? Magic's a shit compared to Urza's character. I mean I like Magic but damn.
>>148038914
I shouldn't have lost my pic of Kanie going "Stop acting like I'm superior? But I AM superior."
>>148039251
Magic got fourth, Urza got sixth. All thing considered, both are kind of low since they're the two "main" heroines of VI.
>>148039463
That sucks. I hope poor polling doesn't effect her appearance in X. She's become such a great woman character, I'd be so bummed she was dropped or sidelined.
>>148038970
I expected Alex to be some loser cuck. He ended up actually being a very respectable and likable cuck. Really, he and Eropicha should become the new King and Queen of Zeth once Gandhi retires, since Rance will already be King of the universe when it happens with Magic as a part of his harem.
>>148039739
I'd say she is about equal with Gandhi himself in terms of being the representative of Zeth. Her, Gandhi, Rizna, Magic and Alex are all pretty much guaranteed to have decent roles.
Alicesoft also improved their polling by dividing it into categories after VI, and since X will likely have a ridiculous number of characters, their may be a large number of categories for Urza to potentially do well in.
>>148039739
Urza did pretty great in Sengoku and Quest for how small her role was.
I don't know how relevant she will be in X, but she's guaranteed to appear.
holy fuck did kichikuou have great spritework
>>148041015
Why is your Kichikuou so small?
>>148041137
grabbed it from google and then ychan
>>148038914
>>148041015
Satella's sprite is one of the best.
Kayblis and DK Kayblis are very good too.
>>148041015
VI and Sengoku also had great spritework. I really hope they go back to it for X.
Aside from Mars, who is the most useless commander in KR?
10
>>148045212
Bound.
>>148041015
It would've been better if characters had attack animations like they do in VI and Sengoku.
>>148041448
I dunno, if Link or one of the girls was in a pose matching Rance, Sill, Lia and Maris I'd have an easier time believing this was meant to reference that.
>>148046304
How moddable is SR?
Is it possible to mod KR into it?
>>148046473
Epona at that size feels like a reference to Pink Cow.
>>148045757
Bound is for sending to Ho Raga to get raped since all of the other pretty boys are actually useful and its a waste to use them.
>>148046480
It's really easy to replace Sengoku's sprites with other stuff.
There was a guy on here a while ago attempting to do a full scale mod (pic related), but I think he could only manage to replace pre-existing characters, not add new ones. I assume he gave up since he hasn't spoken about it in a while.
>>148046480
SLC's tools make it easy to mess with every system40 game. Except for Daibanchou. I've yet to successfully transfer a character from Daiakuji into it.
>>148046480
>>148045212
Monster Prince since you have to give up a month and ez helman, and his actual chance to appear is super low and random so unless you savescum or take forever you probably won't get him.
If you can he's pretty good though.
>>148045212
Asuka. Ran and the Kalar girl are also startlingly bad. Milli is a lot weaker than she seems too, at least she always is for me.
>>148047389
He's more than pretty good.
But yeah, it takes like fifty years to get him and it screws up a bunch of stuff in the process.

It does a pretty good job of explaining the basic stuff but info is kind of spread out over a lot of links.
I can't really list any specific examples at the moment since I might not have found the info yet but sometimes I remember reading something but can't find it again since all the tips are spread out over a multitude of links.
Anyways, thanks for the detailed comment and sorry for the late reply.

Take her name out of there. I can't see.

I agree wwith you but for some reason I find Tilde's Quest clothing hot as fuck
What do people want dumped on hannybooru next?
Also should CGs, character images from games and screenshots of the OVA be uploaded?
For some reason I can't get enough of 03's opening. It's barely even animated but it's just so damn cool.
I wonder what X's opening will be like.
>>148080978
I hope they do a callback to KR as a final hurrah
>>148080978
Will probably have one of these
>>148080978
>I wonder what X's opening will be like.
Probably a IX-style mural of all the events of the previous games.
>>148081097
>>148081182
>>148081225
Maybe it'll go the VI route and start with a summary mural and then go onto a Kichikuou-esque rendition of Rough Edge.
>>148081182
IX's opening is fantastic.
You could hardly tell it was from an eroge by looking at it. It's just pure epicness.
>>148046634
Wait, you can send people besides Rance to Ho Raga?
>>148081626
Yeah, Rick, Ex, Bound, Kentarou and Hubert can all also be sent to Ho Raga.
Only Rance can get the gourd from him though.
>>148081626
You can send all the pretty boys for Ho Raga for various reactions.
Rance seems genuinely concerned about what happened.
>>148081835
Can you send Cafe?
>>148080652
Dump all your Leazas related images
>>148082085
Café has a vagina anon.
>>148081835
>Hubert
>Can be raped by Freya
>Can be raped by Ho Raga
>Can fuck several Bunny Girls in the hot springs
Hubert sure gets a lot of action in Kichikuou.
>>148053237
>>148053237
Locale is your own PC's settings and will get rid of of the bad font
>>148082314
And Rance thought he had something gone on with Maris
Can someone who has played IX tell me if he and Freya had any interactions?
>>148082236
But Ho Raga was her ally. He even said that he didn't hate her when he was talking about his time with the other four.
魔想さんはちんぽに赤い糸がつながっています
The truth is that Rance has 21 Fated Girls
>>148083178
>But Ho Raga was her ally.
Ho Raga doesn't give a shit about something like that. He's an asshole who only cares about fucking assholes. He's actually more like Rance than Chaos is.
>>148083347
Legendary Five vs Rance's Main Party Comparisons
Asshole who only joined the team to fuck and rapes any attractive enemy they defeat- Ho Raga and Rance
Klutzy healer who is only on the team because they have a crush on another member- Cafe and Sill
Person motivated solely to avenge a dead loved one. Has the worst relationship with the asshole- Chaos and Shizuka
Token JAPAN-ese fighter- Nikkou and Kanami
Only person in the party motivated solely by their desire to do the right thing- British and Maria
>>148083971
In a way Shizuka has the best relationship with Rance.
Pretty sure they have better sex than the others
Is Rance Quest worth playing? Both from a gameplay and story perspective.
>>148084131
Sill and Maria pretty much always love Rance.
Kanami is in denial of her feelings for him for most of the series.
Shizuka legitimately hates him until VI, and only really comes around to him in IX.
Their sex is the best and their relationship is the most interesting, though.
>>148084210
With Magnum definitely but you should at least try it out.
What games have you played though?
Would definitely recommend playing VI first
>>148084210
It really depends on your taste about games. It's a some people love it, some people hate it type of game.
In terms of story, Magnum has some pretty important parts though. I wouldn't skip it.
>>148084357
>Magnum has some pretty important parts though
Such as?
inb4
>random slut x got impregnated
>>148084314
As per >>148083275
If one girl is connected to Rance's penis by fate it's Shizuka
>>148084420
>random slut x got impregnated
That's not really important anon.
>>148084420
The Entire AL Church Plotline
Satella and Kite
Dark Rance and Feliss
Pastel and Reset
Rance's relationships with various girls also noticeably improve quite a bit.
>>148084420
Well in terms of X unless you are that one anon who believes the gods won't appear in X, it has a fair bit.
Am's whole role is to introduce the gods more and why the whole system is wrong and to upgrade Chaos.
>>148084357
I'm one of the more persistent complainers about Quest but I did enjoy it. Just can't handle the grind to play it again because I'm an autist who needs as balanced a party as possible.
I just read the Sheila doujin. Out of all predictions Miracle made for voice actors, which one turned out to be right for Rance 03? Or what roles are the VA she mentionned known for?
>>148084345
>>148084357
Thanks, I'll try it out. Sengoku Rance is the only other Rance game I played, but I do tend to like dungeon crawlers. The thing that stuck out most to me about Sengoku Rance though was how fun the writing was yet how it was also able to be serious when it needed to be so I hope Rance Quest can keep that same atmosphere
>>148084210
Story is somewhat lackluster in the Quest part of the game but it picks up when you get to the Magnum storyline. Character interaction is great throughout the entire game though but you'll need to play all previous entries in the series to enjoy most of it
The gameplay is polarizing due to the grind it has, I outright loathe it myself.
>>148083971
And like British, Maria has basically been abandoned and forgotten about.
>>148084819
>how fun the writing was yet how it was also able to be serious when it needed to be
That's basically the series' signature. Or really Alicesoft's signature. Quest leans towards wackiness, but it gets pretty damn dark at several points.
>>148084210
Story; absolutely yes
Gameplay; can't recommend it.
>>148084819
>>148084819
Play VI before you play Quest.
Seriously.
In any case can you read Japanese?
If so go to 01 and 03 at least
>>148084819
03, VI, Sengoku and IX (aka the games focusing on the major countries) tend to overall have more serious stories, but they're still consistently wacky. The other games lean more towards being funny, but they all get serious at points (except for the 4.X games, they're complete jokes).
>>148085278
I'm learning the language, but I know enough to make it through the game with a dictionary I suppose.
>>148085508
Start with 01 anyway.
Quest is game 8 in the series.
Sengoku Rance's plot is relatively self contained because Rance visits JAPAN for the first time and JAPAN is isolated from the Continent.
>>148085385
Basically, if a game focuses on something beyond Rance himself it will be more serious. Beyond Rance (who can be serious) and a bunch of random gag characters, everyone and everything in the world is treated pretty seriously. I don't think the writing ever gets particularly darker than it does in Sengoku, though.
Honestly I clicked this thread because tits in the thumbnail, what's going on here for the uninitiated?
>>147998273
What is this from? Is this art from an actual game? How do play?
>>148084819
>Sengoku Rance is the only other Rance game I played
Don't play Quest. Quest is the 8th Rance game, not the sequel to Sengoku Rance.
Quest's gameplay is a chore, and the character interactions will only be interesting if you've played at LEAST 01, VI and Sengoku, but really only if you've played every game prior to it. It's basically a love letter to longtime players.
>>148085742
Yes, download Sengoku Rance and play it and then come back here for more.
>>148085742
Nothing. We're waiting for the next big announcement.
>What is this from?
Evenicle. Alicesoft's latest game. It's good. Buy it.
>>148085868
What if I've played Sengoku and Kichikuou?
>>148086067
I still would at least play VI before doing it. Rance's adventure in Zeth goes way differently than it does in Kichikuou, and there are a bunch of new characters from it that aren't in Kichikuou who go on to be prominent.
>>148084786
Those are all well known seiyuu and I doubt they'd work on porn (other than Akira Ishida who did Seed in the TT2 OVA). Some of her choices were great, though.

Basically. Miracle wanted Alicesoft to go bankrupt.
>>148086067
Just play VI if you can read moon. Seriously, it's better than both Sengoku and Kichikuou imo.
>>148085868
But 01 was released after Quest
>>148085742
Evenicle.
It's a pretty fun eroge JRPG from Alicesoft with art done by the same guy as Senran Kagura.
>>148086067
Still play 03 and VI which are better games than Quest anyway.
>>148086546
Not that anon but neither 1 or 01 are that important plot wise.
The main games in terms of plot are III/03, VI and IX with IV and Sengoku next.
01 and 2 just introduce a few characters
In terms of the actual plot relevance of 01 all that is important is that the Princess/Queen of Leazas is in love with Rance and you find that out within 30 seconds of every single one of Lia's appearances anyway
>>148086438
Damn, they put some really good thought behind who would voice the male characters.
All things considered though, Patton and Rick have great voices in 03.
>>148086546
01 reintroduces a bunch of characters that only otherwise appear in Quest.
>>148085742
Eroge RPG with Senran Kagura Art. Pretty fun. Not translated.
Download from the pastebin in OP
>>148085976
Hardly their latest now
>>148086975
Those links are just what Miracle wanted as the VAs in >>147998112. No way Alicesoft would actually get all those famous people onboard.
>>148086975
>>148086975
Mi first appeared in Quest anyway.
Yulang is an irrelevancy.
>>148085742
>>148085742
Download Sengoku Rance because it's in English and try that first.
All the links you need are in the OP
>>148084786
What Sheila doujin is this? I looked on the panda, but didn't see anything.
>>148087802
This one
>>147998112
>>148087802
It's not lewd though, it's mostly comedy.
>>148084210
With Magnum gameplay gets somewhat okay. It's okay, but there is a lot of better dungeon crawlers. It's not really balanced, some classes and especially characters are much better and stronger than others, same with skills, loot is no that good.
As for story, with Quest it was basically sidequest the game, Magnum improved main questline and also added a lot of dialogues between different characters in dungeons. Every character also has event in CITY with Rance. So it ends up rather important, but you need to know previous games.
>>148087117
By "they" I meant the person who wrote the doujin, not Alicesoft. You wouldn't expect a fan of an eroge to think so hard about who would voice the men.
>>148089018
Anyone who watches a lot of anime would know the names.
Ironically Sugita was often named on /a/ threads as the preferred option for Rance.
>>148089162
Sugita done work in eroge titles more than a few times, so assuming AS paid out for him he'd be a great pick up for Hubert.
>>148089613
Hubert isn't the character you splash out the cash for.
In Rance 03 given that the main characters already have VA the only choice for a major VA I guess would be Dio
>>148089817
He isn't at all, but hey if you COULD shell for a character like Hubert, Sugita be ace.
>>148086438
>She picked Tomokazu Seki for Rance
That's what I've always imagined for Rance, I think he'd fit pretty good.
>This is awesome Rance is so much IC it feels like we are playing the game.A voiced Rance game...it is strange, to me at least, i mean i thought it was kind of one of the charms of Rance to not have voices in the characters, but Gigalmesh voice VA would be awesome for Rance!
Fuck there is so real cancer on the panda
>>148092538
What's wrong with Tomokazu Seki?
>>148092758
Nothing but that guy who made that post hit every single box as cancer in my opinion
>>148092901
If you want to see cancer just look at the comments on one of those daily updated western comics that won't fucking go away.
>>148087492
never fails to make me laugh
For some reason my pc can't connect to Google captcha at all
I've never shipped two minor secondary characters in an eroge so hard. Lucky for me there's a weirdly large amount of fan art of them.
