Before each new game you can choose the difficulty level.
The first playthrough is sort of tutorial mode on the easiest difficulty setting
>>148284325
I've dumped most of my leazas folder (bar Kanami who I am keeping for one massive image dump later) on the hannybooru if you're interested.
Still have to tag about 100 of them
>>148284209
First playthrough is always on easiest difficulty. There are three harder difficulties and multiple routes with alternate endings. Beating the game once is like 15% completion.
>>148284417
>>148284597
Cool, what about character clears? Do they stay the same the next playthrough?
I mean it's fine if it's not but Senhime's was kind of a pain. Just a little.
Thanks for answering all my basic questions. I try to read the wiki first but suck at finding the info.
>>148285059
Character clears don't carry over, if that's what you mean.
>>148285059
Character clear conditions are the same.
With Sen either send her to the auto-lose battles like Akashi or the first time you attack the final castle of a province.
Fortunately IX has no such issues with her
Go ahead and ask questions when you need them.
>>148285198
>>148285304
Yeah, that's what I meant. It's fine, there's a lot of chars I only wanted to clear once to see the H scene anyways.
I thought affection came at a snail's pace since only one guy got one per battle but it's that bad once I started using the +3 affections from the SAT bonus.
I'm going to KILL myself since MG didn't announce any AS titles at AX.
>>148285678
the +3 plus the affection raising items
If you do Isoroku route get her to trust before honnouji
reminder that I can't bump a new thread I just made
>>148288197
But I can
I just noticed that the games are really inconsistent as to whether Rance has pubes or not. I'll never be able to not notice that now.
>>148284139
It's Am thread?
>>148285841
At least wait until Otakon when they will announce an AS gamewether it's Rance or not, it's unclear.
>>148288707
Shizuka also grew pubes between VI and IX
Rance probably learned that you need to shave your balls if you like getting your balls sucked
>>148289141
>>148289141
At long last
Victory is mine
Just a heads up but while my Alicesoft folder is pretty massive there are certain gaps in it due to personal taste.
>>148295157
Why was she such a jackass?
>>148295157
>>148295157
Ramius definitely masturbated to Rance
>>148295157
That fact that I can't tell what's that card in play near Kechac is pissing me off.
>>148299230
Calm down.
I wonder what one of these for the Rance games would look like
>>148306536
Shizuka
Vaginal (Missionary)
Vaginal (Cow Girl)
Kissing
Cunnilingus
Just finished my first playthough here. I'm conflicted about whether or not to start my second playthrough on a higher difficulty. On one hand, the normal battles were pretty easy for the most part, but I was constantly destroyed by commander battles even though I trained in dungeons.
>>148307554
Do a higher difficulty. More fun and you get more points for NG bonus,
Commander battles only really important for Ran route.
>still haven't gotten past the opening of haruka
I just don't care about this game at all.
newfag here, any reason why Rance is ending forever?
>>148308773
It started in the 80s and they have a clear direction of where they're taking the plot and the final game should conclude that.
>>148308871
Oh, still...it's incredible for a niche porn game to last for more than 3 decades
>>148309113
It's not that hard to believe when you take Rance's popularity into account in said niche market, KR was the highest selling eroge of it's time IIRC
>>148309113
It predates zelda I am pretty sure.
How come sometimes after a battle none of my characters gain a relationship point? Is it because Rance's relationship with himself is maxed out?
>>148309698
It's because the random relationship point is getting assigned to Rance instead of somebody else and wasted because his max IIRC.
>>148309698
Randomly allocated to someone with max
>>148308589
>>148308589
get a 100% save file and that's all you need from the game
Won't somebody think of the elves?
>>148314375
No.
Reminder that Rocky was being sent on dangerous military missions including fighting actual demons at 14, and that his signature ability is tanking hits for you
>>148314620
Reminder that Karma is wandering around the world on her own as a 11 year old adventurer
>>148314375
>kalar
>elves
>>148271954
>Okay. Have you already broken through the mountains to Helman?
I did. By sending Rick and Rance to beat down on Lelyukov. Eventually, Rick managed com completely destroy one unit of Lelyukov's army and capture him. After that, at the same turn, i sent Rance to attack and there just 2 militia units defending Log B.
>>148297185
Katsuko a shit
>>148307554
Release the imprisoned guys you have. 5 at a time. You get an item that levels up one commander by one level.

That elf has blood all over her forehead. Did someone hurt her?
>>148317404
>>148317404
so does this elf.
Hey guys, first time player here - what's with the Revolt thing in my provinces in Sengoku Rance? I cannot find it on wiki and I might've accidentally skipped the explanation because of my gf yapping at me for playing instead of doing her.
>>148320409
The revolt starts after you find yourself at war with the Tenshi Sect.
There is an action that shows in each province that you own that shows the progress of a revolt. If it reaches 100% the revolt fires, but only one revolt takes place each turn.
If you take that action the progress will be reset to 0%. It will keep happening until the Tenshi are defeated.
You can just let the revolt happen and use 1 commander to defeat the rebels, they are very weak. And with only one rebellion happening whenever it is set to happen, it is better to do this instead of wasting one of your action fans to stop the rebellion.
>>148320409
yeah bruh my hot gf is sucking my dick right now so annoying wish she'd get off
>>148314375
I'll think about raping them
>>148320684
Okay, seems like I've wasted my fans for a stupid reason then. I kinda figured it had something to do with the sect, seeing as they did say a lot of the people living on my territories are aligned with it, hurr.
Thanks a lot!
>>148321104
You can read past dialog if you move your mouse wheel up when in a conversation.
Even if it was of an earlier scene. But this can only be done when in a conversation. Not in the map phase, not in battle.
So if you missed anything just go look at that.
>>148314375
I do, all the time.
>>148314375
Rance thinks about the elves. A lot.
>>148320409
I don't like when my gf does this too. I don't wanna do her, i want to rape her. She doesn't resist, so it's boring.
>>148321420
there are no elves in Rance
The hannybooru is really starting to build up. With the exception of a lot of Kanami stuff most the leazas related images are up although a lot of Menad's stuff isn't under the leazas_(country) tag yet.
Lia, Sill, Suzumi and Kanami have about 80 images though I think Kanami will end up closer to 200 in the end.
>>148322002
Several have been posted in this thread anon.
>>148323394
Actually looks like Menad's stuff was tagged. Thanks Hanny King
People are welcome to contribute their collections as well.
I'm going to stop for a few days or so but what do images do people want uploaded next?

I wonder if I should upload some porn gifs soLia overtakes Sill in tags
>>148329373
There are probably quite a number of Sill fan art that hasn't been uploaded, so Lia's numer tags won't be higher than Sill's.

i don't know how to do that
>>148325759
Kanami is always cute.
>>148346278
Equip him with Charge Horn and attack Log B since it has bigger combat area than Log A. It might take a few reloads to to succeed. Increasing his max troop size helps but isn't necessary.

Should I be giving guard break to Rance? On one hand it's great since footsoldiers are everywhere and hard to kill, but it really lowers his attack potential.
>>148375008
Probably not but I'm not a hardcore SR expert.
>>148375008
Take it
>>148375008
Absolutely not.
>>148375008
Don't.
Back to 10.
Reminder that Cel is best girl.
How do you unequip the mannequin cat? According to the guides, you enter a dungeon and go to items. But my character is still red. This happens regardless if I put the character in the battle slot.
>>148329975
>yeah probably vi
>>148380764
The only way to take it off is use an item that lets you move the character again.

>>148388734
Actually I'm not sure if it will work at all with English version, I only used it with untranslated KR.
>>148389869
Can confirm that it works
>getting bored of fenoxo games
>hey, i'll go check out /asg/! it's been years since i played sengoku rance, rance quest has probably been translated for ages
>get here
>mfw 64%
>>148390765
Quest progress stalled around the start of the year, but it was going pretty steady up to then.
>>148390765
It doesn't make a difference anyway. It's going to be translated and released when it's localized by MangaGamer, which could be in just a few months from now, or an undetermined number of years.
>>148391465
Rance Quest most definitely won't be the announcement
>>148391135
As steady as a project with not intention of getting released unofficially can be
>>148391637
I was just stating the possibility, though it's not as low as you think it is. I know it's a stupid starting point but considering it's the sequel to the main AS game of the west, and the fact that it's still rather new (unlike VI) without being too new(like IX or Evenicle), its chances are not bad. Also the fact that's 64% translated already.
>>148391826
It is unlikely. Everything indicates that Arunaru is the guy working on the project and Maria is the one doing Quest
>>148392014
He said it was a game he was very interested in. So, aside from VI, Evenicle is the only one I can think of but it would be weird considering how new it is.
>>148392191
Or just Rance 01
He is interested in the Rance series
It's my guess
should I use a action textbook 2 on Rance whenever I can or should I wait till I see a regular action textbook
>>148391465
>>148391637
Or perhaps simply never. Correct me if I'm have old information, but as far I know mg released only one AS game and we don't know if they will release anything more, and if yes, will it include Rance games.
>>148392191
I have strange feeling that if this turns to be AS game it could actually be Daiakuji.
>>148389768
Awesome heroine in 6 and Quest.
>>148392359
>Rance 01
I don't think he's "very intersted in 01". It's a pretty average game. The best things about it are probably Millie and Lia's sex scenes, and this comes from someone that hardly plays Rance for the porn.
>>148392779
No chance for Daiakuji.
It's way too old.
>>148392779
There has been talk for a couple of months on /jp/ and the like that August was the month that an announcement might happen (August 12 actually. When I'll be away from the internet unfortunately).
Arunaru has also revealed in twitter that he has working in a secret project that he is interested in and isn't the doujin game he is also doing.
He's also publiclly joked about it being Escalayer so it almost certainly isn't that. I don't think he'd be joking if he knew people would be disappointed.
I don't blame people for trying to keep their expectations down. I'm lucky enough to just be able to play the games untranslated but I still remember what it felt like being dependent on translations.
I do think that it's worth looking forward to August though because an Alicesoft game we're interested in might happen.
>>148393332
We're assuming one, but they do have multiple Alicesoft translators.
>>148393954
Meant for >>148392779
>>148393842
Aru also said it's a gameplay title, so no Drapeko I guess.
>>148394080
>>148393954
Anymore than one announcement seems like ridiculously wishful thinking.
One seems possible. Nothing at all indicates two
>>148394531
Probably, but I'm not writing off a Classics pack yet.
>>148394632
Well believe what you want to believe
>>148393842
>He's also publiclly joked about it being Escalayer
He made a joke about Haruka here while he was translating it
What were the conditions again? I don't think I've read such thing, and it's pretty weird considering humans (the holy sect) waged war to them anyway a few centuries later.
>>148395856
Nah, he made a flat misdirection about Haruka.
My internet connection is this close to nonexistent for the next half day. Please don't go to page 10.
>>148399571
we might go to 10 but we will live
what artist does the best cg's
what are your favorite cg's
>>148364159
is it gay if IT's with Ranceko?
>>148401873
Gyoukai is great but Orion in IX just for me.
Really close.
Gyoukai's art beats Orion in any other game,
Both beat Yaegashi Nan
This has Arms from Rance Quest (Orion), Sen from Rance IX (Orion), Ramius from Evenicle (Yaegashi Nan) and for the purpose of comparison Shizuka from 03 (Gyoukai).
Actually would people be fine with me uploading the character art (not cgs) on the booru?
Personally I think it would be useful
>>148394353
Don't think he'd have liked Drapeko that much
>>148401873
IX and non-Rance is Evenicle
My favorite sex CG is probably Suzume's death sex in Quest. Great send off for a very delightful character.
My favorite non-sex CG is probably the one of the young freak and Rune or Miracle's All-Star line up of earth's strongest.
>>148392637
I thought that you couldn't use regular action textbooks on warriors.
Anyways Rance is a decent person to use them on considering that you use him all the time, but I'd rather use it on Kenshin cause she only has 3 action points
Updated this chart now that we have an image of Tarou (who is far too old in his ova cameo).
Also corrected Lia's parents who are confirmed to not be dead.
>>148409781
Holy shit Lia has brothers?
>>148409781
And the joke version
>>148409913
had
So for the "tonight at rance's place" option for sengoku rance, do only certain girls show up?
I'm just curious because I only ever get like 4.
>>148410225
It's basically random. Don't worry about it.
Reminder that tulip and arunaru need to be hanged from a fucking tree
Chinu, Ryouma, Ran, Naoe, Kouhime.
Am I a fucking masochist. It hurts, why do they all get canonically screwed over.
>>148411393
Naoe is completely fine. Chinu is sort of fine and Kou's problems are overrated
>>148411393
3 of those characters are fine, and Chinu is sorta okay. Only Ran is never ever, and at least she comes with like 5 CGs. She got way more than she deserved honestly.
>>148409913
Yeah but they killed each other over who took the throne, Lia herself was targeted as well but managed to survive probably because she was either the youngest or female. Being the only child left is probably why she was so spoiled
>>148411962
Lia managed to survive probably because Maris got involved with the killings
>>148412190
Possible but Maris is most likely the reason why Lia survived to begin with, especially considering her talent when it comes to healing magic.
>>148412405
And she probably slept around to make sure Lia survived/get allies/get close enough to kill
Lia's brothers probably died fucking/after fucking Maris
>>148410090
>>148411962
Oh okay I thought I missed major characters to Leazas's story or something.
Is guard break for warrior chars worth getting?
It's 0.8 base damage which is supposed a upgrade over 1.1 base damage.
>>148412836
I personally didn't like it but I find Warriors in general to be complete shit
>>148412836
Guard break is shit
>>148412742
They're even less relevant than Lia's still living parents
>>148413321
>>148412742
They're relevant to why Lia acts like she does.
>>148412498
>Lia's brothers probably died fucking/after fucking Maris
I doubt that, they probably poisoned each other or Maris poisoned them. They died when Lia was young and Maris would barely be above 10 at the time
Lia had brothers?
>>148414028
Yes, as far as we know they killed each other while fighting over who inherited the throne and they targeted Lia was well. Lia survived and they didn't and that's all we know
>>148413945
>Maris wold barely be above 10 at the time
And?
>>148414391
Good point, from what we've seen of royalty/nobles on the Continent they really give no fucks about things like that. If they did fuck her then they deserve it for being stupid enough to fuck somebody in Maris's position
>>148414740
Plus given how Lia was old enough to be effected by them she was probably at least 5 or 6 which puts Maris at 12 which is pretty much almost Rance territory
>>148414939
12 is possibly too old for Rance
>>148414939
Fair enough.
>>148416170
it's true
>>148414391
How old is Maris actually?
>>148417089

So the Great Wall of Helman is no longer called by that name? The entire construction is called Fort Banra?
>>148420046
Who wouldn't?
>>148425871
Because the wall isn't great.
>>148423429
Shit taste.
>>148426390
I think it's great that where use a super magic wall, Helman manage to keep up with just a regular walland the blood of its people.
>>148426618
Helman's wall only works because Hornet rules the north
Are you hyped for MG's release of Escalayer?
>>148426895Very
When the whole translator drama stuff starter a year ago I still remember /haniho/ bitching to maria that "now that it is licensed by MG the releases will slow down significantly" to which the whore answered "the releases will only slow down temporarily, afterwards they will actually speed up because we can work on them full time instead of right now where we can only translate them in our free time because we have to translate other things in our work time".
So whatever the fuck happened to that? 15 months have passed since the last release. When will the releases speed up again?
Because all I can see right now is that the releases are NEITHER being translated in their free time nor their work time. THEY AREN'T BEING TRANSLATED AT ALL ANYMORE. FUCK YOU.
>>148428468
Hahahahahaaha
>>148428468
Just learn Japanese.
It is rather easy, let me show you.
What does this "ランス"? Spoilers for answerラ=RA, ン=N, ス=SU. Ransu= Rance. See? Easy.
>>148429914
Shizukass
>>148429914
Probably one of my favourtie fan arts of Shizuka.
>>148394531
Just saying that MG announces more than one title from the same company concurrently all the time. Even excluding the nukige stuff.
>>148433543
That sort of optimism is what killed the western fanbase.
>>148430790
She has quite a few really good ones
>>148433543
Escalayer remake and tsunamigui 2. Yay
A little doubt, do you guys hate Tulip Goddess Maria now?
>>148434801
We've hated her since she betrayed us man.

I don't usually post in /vg/ so I don't know your opinion about her actions.
At first I understood her intentions, but now she is just a fucking shill.Buy Haruka $$$
>>148434801
all of the translators were dead to me the moment I found out, but maria especially with her bullshit.
it's even ruined the actual maria a little bit.
>>148433840
It's not optimism, they duo-announce stuff like Cartagra and KnS2, Tokyo Babel and Shadow of Pygmalion before so you can't say that's completely impossible.
Personally, I'm in the one annoucement for Alicesoft camp myself.
>>148434801
I understand why she did it and all, but the way she put it was certainly dickish. I do like Alicesoft getting interested in the West, for one thing, so maybe I'm just crazy.
>>148434801
I hate how she effectively killed the thread for quite a while
>>148436308
>>148436972
>>148437547
Couldn't she just upload the 5D patch?
Even teasing fans with screenshots just before she told them all to buy another(and shitty) game.
>>148438447
>Couldn't she just upload the 5D patch?
Nope, don't forget about the Quest demo steamed either.
>>148439228
Didn't know about it, and won't even bother, blissful ignorance.
Do you guys know how well did Haruka sold after all that shilling?
>>148440235
It sold well, considering it's consistently remained in their top 5 of their Weekly Ranking since it was released, and that was a few months ago.
>>148440235
Enough to get a limited edition physical copy, so pretty good.
Then again fetish-y gameplay nukige was guaranteed to sell well even without shilling. In fact, pretty sure most people she shilled to (mainly /haniho/) didn't even buy it.
>>148434801
Hate? Nah, but i feel a bit sad when i think about how things were before the big reveal.
Man, i still remember that one anon always posting "The Tulip is the strongest" together with "Good Job Maria", after every update from her. He then posted a final Good Job, Maria? before sinking into anonymity Guy must have been heartbroken
takes me back to the Nyanners threads on /v/
should we just do an amateur drawfag crapfest here?
>>148444273
I'm up for it.
>>148444273
Mousepainting?
>>148444638
as in posting requests or drawing?
>>148444703
anything
even P&P
>>148444728
Drawing.
Though I am TADA tier
I'm also wondering if people will be up for a joint playthrough of some of the translated games
>>148445093
TADA tier is best. I'm at this skill level too.
What do you mean by joint playthrough?
>>148444273
Been thinking about taking requests for awhile. I'm open for it.
>>148445914
What about that old request for Camilla sending Reincock to destroy Loli Hornet's sandcastle?
>>148445914
Suama
>>148445213
Basically like what happened when Rance 03 and Evenicle are released except we all decide to replay one of the translated games around the same time
>>148446337
I'm new. 3 months old i think.
>>148446420
Basically we all start replaying the games around the same time and post about the playthroughs.
Though if you've played the games recently then I guess there is no real interest
