>>126117732
Dammit Haniho, we were only 5 posts away.
>>126118169
Welp, we would have more to discuss if all games were translated or if we all spoke nihon.
>>126117732
So guys, I feel like I should be sleeping but I also feel like I best play a game.
So fuck it, I'm gonna do some 5 Star No Bonus Sengoku and post a little, sleeping when I've beat Hara and Ashikaga. How long do you guys think it'll take? I'm not sure if I'll be skipping dialogue or not, but despite my dick telling me I should, I know that I can't afford to waste time fapping, so I'll be skipping the sex scenes at the very least.
>>126120498
Ok wtf, AVG just triggered on Sengoku Race. IDP.ALEXA.51
>>126121110
>Race
*Rance
>>126113487
Is that referenced at all in IX? Seems weird for them to just ignore it.

Beating Hara and Ashikaga?
Have you played 5 star before?
>>126120498
Ok guys, long story short I didn't fail but it looks like I will, I had a lot typed up but it's not worth it. I've now learned the hard way that the top priority is to capture Isoroku, I'm gonna go to sleep soon.
>>126127634
>Have you played 5 star before?
Yep, but not no bonus.
Final bump, what did /haniho/ do last? Piss or fap?
>>126127827
always capture Isoroku
>>126130623
>>126130517
Fap. Always fap.
>>126130517
Just fapped
>>126132370
>>126127827
Prepare yourself Katsuie!
It's sad when the Rance doujinshis aren't getting scanned to preserve them.
>>126136390
Well we could actually doing something about some of them
We're really slow. Can't bump anymore. Night
>>126142691
Clearly our problem is we lackthe strongest
>>126146496
Io?
>>126145865
>>126146496
She's right here, stupid 4chan
>>126146496
>>126146678
Typical Annis, can't event post right.
>>126146880
>>126145865
Toshihisa is certainly smug enough to be Daniel Tosh.
Am I the only person who had a soft spot for 5D?
>>126152860
Yes.
>>126152860
5D's pretty good :^)
>>126152860
You don't have a soft spot for 5D, you have a soft spot for the girls that appear in 5D giving the illusion that 5D is somewhat tolerable.
Daiteikoku is a terrible game.
>>126152860
I like Rizna and Feliss
>>126146880
sasuga Annis
>>126152860
5D is one of the best Rance games. I like it better than Quest.
>>126156245
>I like it better than Quest.
That's not saying much
>>126156296
Quest is a good game
>>126134990
>>126152860
I still haven't played it, just Sengoku Rance. Also am I missing something? I thought 5D was not being released
>>126152860
Like the little bit of story on it. But really dislike the gameplay. 5D is only a bit more likable to me than the 4.X games.
Tsumamigui 3 already is golden master.
http://blog.alicesoft.com/archives/4551614.html
>>126159775
>golden master.
The significance of this is?
>>126152860
It was my "play to learn Japanese" game for quite some Time, so yeah i like it.
>>126159858
It's finished and ready for the presses
What are you doing Aru?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RV37EIVDhpc
>>126162636
massive cocktease
>>126162636
And no translation prospects
>>126162636
I want to rape that Ren
>>126162636
At least give us some Sat-chan
>>126162636
Good thing I didn't care that much about Daiakuji.
>21 posters.
>Even the kids are off school.
>NEETs will be locked in the house avoiding their families.
>But none of them can find the time for /Haniho/.
>>126169258
1 for NEET
>>126169258
What's the point of Haniho these days?
The days of translation anticipation are over.
>>126169418
Discussion regarding games that just come out which we are still a month+ away from, Wouldn't be much of a problem if /vg/ didn't get a massive population increase in the past year or so
I want to at least make it until the next OVA then hopefully the Haruka release will keep as long enough for Alicesofts golden week game.
>>126162636
Arunaru confirmed for being Satan, I see.
I still want another Dai- game to bring the series back.
>>126170094
I want to hear something about their golden week game already
>>126147271
Does her staff normally bend like that? Also, I find it weird that she has a skull in the crystal on the end of her staff.
>>126152860
Haven't played, but I'd like to, regardless of the number of translators that have stated their disdain for it.
>>126152860
A quirky RNG game that allows you to capture Gal Monsters to use in battle, where Rance can shoot magic, Athena 2.0's Class is human, Bird gets shit on again, Copa and Rizna debut in, Sill can explode from getting her ass touched too much and a bad end involves Rance partying until the end of time is incredibly interesting to me anyway.
Also, it has Japanese beat.
>>126175862
That last point is not a selling point for me.
>>126162636
I've never been so instantly aroused by a single youtube video in all of my life.
Someday, Daiakuji.
>>126162636
Goddamn it, Arunaru. I thought you were an alright guy. Why do you gotta hurt me like that?
>>126174974
No it doesn't
>>126162636
>Arunaru has translations of VI and Daiakuji on his computer that no one else will ever have
He should do a live stream of some of VI again.
>>126154736
It's okay on a first playthrough. Only okay though.
>>126162636
He should've saved this for April Fools instead of a few days before Christmas.
>>126169258
What part of 'Secret Edgy Rape Club' don't you understand?
Say, pure curiosity. Has anyone got any Alicesoft games running on Linux?
>>126179105
Rance 4.1 and 4.2 run on Linux.
>>126152860
I've always enjoyed using RNG for pretty much everything I do, so 5D actually felt pretty fun to play.
I can totally see why people hate it, though.
>>126159858
That they're not behind schedule like in 03, at least.
>>126179978
How behind schedule were they with Rance 03?
>>126179978
You should recall that they planned for 4 games in 2015.
>>126180047
Not much, a couple of weeks or so. In any case games with less gameplay aspects are easier to finish up. And as this anon mentioned: >>126180619 Alicesoft is generally behind schedule / things don't go as they plan.
>>126181029
I think it's better they fall behind schedule that cut on the quality.
Don't die
>>126162636
Did he even make that takoyaki?
>there are people in this thread who don't have giant Leazas flags and paintings of Lia
Why people say that quest isn't a good game? I remember something about grind, but almost all the games have that, is it really that bad?
>>126188030
You may grind a lot but you really don't need to if you just want to play through the story.
>>126185928
He does when they're finished.
>>126188495
The grind isn't even that bad. There's lots of ways to increase EXP gained, and battles in general are very fast-paced.
>>126190024
No, but with over 70 characters it really can get repetitive
Stay alive.
>>126120498
Decided to try this again, I'm only permitting myself half an hour. I'm prioritising Isoroku above all else. Wish me luck.
>>126196561
I want a Rance doll
>>126194469
Spent first 3 turns recruiting, also increased Owari's NP.
Both wars started on the end of turn 3. Not gonna lie, I carelessly lost the first battle with Ashikaga in the Oil Field, I overlooked how the Footsoldier A.I. works, funnily enough after I easily won the second battle, they reclaims it with 3 Footsoldiers, one of which dropped a Spear Attack 2 on me, I got wrecked.
For the most part I ignored Hara, which let me force castle battles in Owari.
Deliberately took the Isoroku auto-lose at the end of Turn 6. Now the hunt begins.
Took Rance Attack as SAT Bonus.
Wow, Kubota had an extra move this time, pic related.
By turn 10, everything had happened that needed to happen to catch Isoroku.
Time ran out on turn 11, although I'm happy that I actually managed to catch an Initial Battle Rating Warrior.
>>126196756
>>126196756
I want a Lia doll holding a Rance doll.
>>126198295
I want to BE a Lia doll holding a Rance doll.
ded
Anyone know how to get some text that doesn't appear on vnr?
I am playing rance VI and when you get a item on a chest or sometimes when a character is thinking I dont receive text, and no, in the text preferences there's no dialogue boxes for these.
>>126211814
Not many people here use machine translators though.
>>126213043
a pity, cause after the delay in the translations, I got my limited japanese and started playing not translated games, after a while my japanese got way better and I could play most of the games with no problem at all
>>126188709
So it's not really Akuji's magic sex powers that persuade women, it's his gourmet takoyaki cooking skills? And he just fucks them before so he can pretend like it's his dick doing the work? What a beta. No wonder his society became female-dominated.
>>126214187
When you had a good fuck you need a good feed, Akuji realized to become a lady killer you need to be a killer cook. You know girls get hot and bothered when a guy knows how to cook, Akuji the man simply put 2+2 together and after doing his thing he cooks up some gourmet takoyaki to seal the deal.
>>126208879
Suzume ;_;
>>126214187
Manly man Akuji is inadvertently propagating the Feminazi Regime the entire game. Why do you think a major part of the game is finding a powerful woman to marry him off to?
>>126152860
I love the soundtrack
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezUdk3w7ddk
>>126187171
Are there even any wall scrolls for Lia or Leazas?
how the fuck do i beat the demon army? shimazu brothers in every single fight is just ridiculous
>>126221707
git gud
>>126221707
If you sucked too much eventually there's an event where the game gives you all the territories except the original shimazu ones.
Then it's just easy peasy.
>>126216356
Marry the general's granddaughter then
>>126221707
Just be patient and grind them down
>>126225947
Don't die.
Seems like there won't be a workshop for katakanas and more grammar this winter for me. I can learn the katakanas on my own and my friend will lend me his notebooks of kanjis, but I don't know how it will go for grammar.
>>126233525
just do it online yourself. I don't classes and workshops are that good if you're motivated because it can slow you down
>>126233771
I mean more a direction of where to take the grammar. I've seen my friend notebooks and kanjis are shown from simpler ones to more complex, so there's at least a path.
I need to remember what I've learned for grammar cause I didn't really remember what exactly I learned beside some basic particles, basic counting, the odd way to change adjectives. I'm sure there's more, but I forgot.
>>126187171
Is that from Rance VI?
>>126236184
Yes, presumably it's one of those magic mansions that the royal family owns
>>126236791
Magic mansions? Do you mean in Zeth or Leazas?
>>126237038
That's presumably a magic mansion owned by the Leazas royal family, IIRC there was a party that happened after Rance convinced Lia to help Zeth
>>126237038
Portable mansions
Helman potato eaters can't afford them
>>126237038
Like that one Rance has in IX
Seriously I cannot fucking beat the Takeda on the Ran route. This nigger Yamagata has 2000 units, 8 in every stat, fucking FUURINKAZAN AND ONRUSH.
How in the living hell do I beat this bald nigger? I need to make an effective campaign finisher for the Ran route (just need to beat the dungeon after the orcs and I'm guuchi) and this nigger won't let me get the takeda's good commanders.
>>126239493
>How in the living hell do I beat this bald nigger?
Beat them before he get fielded or run with 3 strong guards + Natori/Kenshin/Uzra
>>126239764
What foot soldiers are we looking at? I have Shibata and Senhime pretty much. Haven't gotten Kou or the crazy Mouri bitch. I use All Guard at the moment but this bird riding faggot literally 1 shots her even with pain-removing helmet.
>>126240086
6+ defense, as many troops as you can manage, Enhanced Initial Guard. If you can manage to get the first action in, Enhanced Initial Guard coupled with All Guard should help a lot. Be sure to throw in a diviner to keep your foot soldier alive a bit longer too.
>>126240307
Alright man, let's fucking hope I can do this lmao. Thanks for the help.
>>126240641
Good luck. Yamagata is a huge cunt, and can probably still nearly oneshot most footsoldiers unless they have a massive number of troops.
>>126240641
>lmao
>>126240802
I want to have sex with a squid.
>>126196891
>Two footsoldiers on the backrow and none in front
>>126240803
Dude this faggot has me going insane. By the end of this shit fest I wouldn't be surprised if I start spouting emojis like an insane facebook nigger.
>>126240929
I want Orion to draw more cute fan art.

>>126249105
>>126249340
>>126249532
What is this?
New game?
>>126236791
A magic mansion? I thought this was held in that fortress they have at the Zeth border.
>>126252629
Fort Parapara?
Leazas do have magic mansions though.
And Magic is an ungrateful retard. Leazas literally saved your shitty country and you view them as the enemy.
Meanwhile Lia helped improve Helman, Zeth and JAPAN
>>126239493
>wanting Takeda generals
>to beat Ran route
You're doing it wrong
>>126254542
They're the only country attacking me, and it's annoying to suffer their 4-attack turn every so often while being forced to kill orcs.
>>126247263
Why is this well drawn piece of fan art featuring two obscure characters in English? We have no drawfags.
>>126254895
Galzoo
She's not obscure but is a central character
>>126255295
Sure. Oama is a fairly prominent character in IX too. I'm just saying it'd take a fairly well-informed fan to know about both of them, and since we don't have any drawfags it's weird to so it, especially since it's really nice looking and in English.
>>126254858
Don't defend against all attacks of the blitz. Retaking territory is way easier than defending, just make sure you won't lose a province.
>>126227346
The scene itself was good but Shizuka trying desperately to get Rance to use contraception was great.
Must have been ovulating
Menad's voice is great.
>>126255536
i guess the artist deliberately choose to write in English
It's the same set as >>126245272
>>126257935
>rance game
>voice
>>126258786
Rance 03 was voiced though
Kanami was top tier
>>126258786
How do you know I'm not referring to the OVA?I'm not. Everyone in 03 sounds just like you'd expect them to.
>>126258903
Except Chaos. Though he was still pretty good. Just not what I expected
>>126259025
Patton was the one who sounded the least like I thought he would for me, though his voice was great. To each his own I suppose.
I was impressed with everyone all around. Even Rance was good. I wish he could've been voiced outside of battle.
I still don't want X to be voiced
>>126263614
It's not going to be, the remakes will most likely continue to have voices
>>126253059
>Leazas literally saved your shitty country
Not really. They helped but you can't really say it was Leazas when it was Rance-sama.
Does anyone have a working download link to Rance IX interface patch? The links in pastebin are dead.
>>126266514
Rance defeated the leaders, Leazas's army dealt with the bulk of the army itself
>>126267806
Didn't PI-R upload it again recently?
>>126268562
The one in the pastebin is dead, at least, and it seems to have disappeared off the face of the internet as far as I can see. I don't know if there's another link buried somewhere in the past threads, but I couldn't find it.
>>126268990
Last thread, search for "mega"
>>126263614
>>126263750
Partially voiced like Evenicle would work.
Like for important scenes
Does anyone have a less crappy version of this?
>>126273217
>>126273217
I'll look but I doubt I have
>>126227346
I guess Kanami won something, finally.
>>126273217
Did you try downloading the original? It's quite bigger.
>>126268990
https://mega.nz/#!csZ1mBwT!lqeyC1z-SaK3u1eIxYbaxjPfyMfGhxB9tx9UTJyVlrg
It's like the third time I post this link and there was also Pi-R last time, someone should put it on the pastebin.
>>126268181
Really? Wasn't it just the Red Army that went to Zeth? The Red Army is strong enough to fight off an entire Monster Army?
>>126279521
>/vg/ stops working with /haniho/ on page 10
Like we needed any help to die
>>126291265
And yet, you wouldn't let nature take its course.
>>126291265
So that's why I couldn't post.
>>126287142
Rance 03? She was pretty young back then.
>>126291424
Never.
What's the recommended level for taking on TOWER in 03?
I've got Rance and Rick at 48, Shizuka, Leila and Maris at 45, Sel at 44 and Barres at 42 as my current team.
>>126273217
So legit question here
What are those two creatures bellow the world?
>>126293695
The remnants of your English abilities.
LITERALLY
NOTHING
NEW
FOR
A
WHOLE
YEAR
>>126294381
Mamatoto
>>126294381
From now on or do you mean between 2015 and 2016?
>>126293695
There are four (five if you count Orochi) which support the continent, in space. Doesn't make sense to me either.
>>126294381
03 and Evenicle were great.
>>126294582
They are god-like beings. Those don't require explanation.
>>126293695
Two of the four beasts that hold up the continent. Orochi from Sengoku used to be the fifth that held up JAPAN.
I wonder if we'll get to see the other two, or if they'll actually have any sort of role in X.
>>126294381
We will get Haruka man. Aru lost his sanity to translate it.
>>126296783
Why does she no wear panties?
>>126297035
Rance
>>126297089
What did Rance do?
>>126297151
Train her.
>>126288581
3 of the armies went to Zeth with Lia taking direct command of the the forces. IIRC the black army was part of the group that stayed behind to keep Helman from making a move
Don't die again, /haniho/
>>126301413
Fine. Which girl in the Rance series has the lowest sex to shown boobs ratio in the series? I'm excluding girls like Ranmaru and Annis that don't have on screen sex with Rance.
>>126301640
Omachi?
>>126301640
Agrieda is a contender, she had sex with Rance on screen but is also shown having sex with the five bros.
>>126301887
She never has sex with Rance on screen, so she doesn't fit the criteria.
>>126301640
Maris maybe?
>>126302390
When do you see Maris at least topless in a scene where she doesn't get fucked by Rance?
>>126301640
Lia has at least two scenes in Rance Quest where she has her breasts exposed but doesn't have sex with Rance.
>Ithere's apostles say that thier clothing is in fashon
>Most of the Demon women have clothing that shows a lot of skin wear their own versions
>Kamillia does not
Is Kamilla just a cranky grandma being envious of the pretty young girls?
>>126303008
Hornet doesn't show much skin.
Sure she's naked behind her cloak but she's almost completely covered.
>>126303008
Does Rance have sex on screen with the three Ithere apostles in Rance 03? If he does, the sex:boobs ratio should be pretty small for them considering their costume is literally topless.
>>126303332
He does.
>>126239493
Read this, and learn from it.
http://alicesoft.wikia.com/wiki/Sengoku_Rance:Walkthrough#Takeda_House
Also... you do realise that you're gonna have to capture the generals after the blitz anyway? As in, they join other houses?
>>126301640
Annis does have sex with Rance, though.
>>126305721
I thought people said he didn't have sex with Annis because he was scared that she'd blow him up during it.
>>126305792
Not in VI. (And it does go nearly that bad in KR)
>>126305792
He doesn't in VI because he remembers what happened in the maze she created
Remember to vote Haruka and only Haruka.
Oh and BUY BUY Haruka.
>>126306494
He get so traumatized in KR, that his memories transcends space and time and reach Rance form a different time continuum
>>126307380
What? She makes a maze in VI and Rance barely dodges her white destruction beam on multiple occasions.
>>126307591
Anon, that was obviously a joke.
>>126307591
>She makes a maze
Shizuka's clearly got competition.
>>126307920
Is there an annual maze making competition?
>>126306826
Unfortunately despite my extensive Twitter efforts, Haruka is currently in 5th.
>>126308252
Of course, I heard it's amazeing.
>>126308283
Too bad. It was tied to first when I voted.
>>126308804
It was briefly #1. Doesn't look like anything'll beat Seacats now, though.

Which episode are they at?
>>126309192
Don't think they've begun releasing it. I'm not sure exactly how they're doing it.
>>126308283
>That 3rd party list
Vomit inducing
>>126309559
Where's the list?
>>126252523
Custom Maid 3D 2.
Does she look like my slave?
I'm going to predict that this thread will die either on Christmas or on the day after because the thread is on /vg/ and getting to page 10 will probably take less than 20 minutes.

If you have a slave, you probably shouldn't say it out loud.
>>126312928
With my vote, it rose to fourth place.
>>126312928
I will vote for it because I love you Aru, but the game sucks and it makes me angry because I know I will be playing it before I will be playing Rance VI.
>>126313349
Was it still in fourth place?
>>126313349
Apparently you can vote every 24 hours. We will cheer you when showing your love for Aru.

>Not using proxies and multiple different email accounts
You're devotion is weak
>>126316310
They also require no email or captcha from what I see so you could easily proxy vote the fuck out of that poll.

>3 of the armies went to Zeth with Lia taking direct command of the the forces.
I wonder how Lia is as a military leader. I imagine similar to Rance.
>>126312957
Why not?
>>126316681
I can see Lia being quite a bit more crueler than Rance in that regard, she gives no shits about the other countries citizens after all.
>>126317101
She isn't particularly nice with men either and, unlike Rance, she's brutal with women.
>>126317101
It's interesting that Leazas is basically only the main and "good guy" nation because Rance went to it first. That's a major reason TADA's dream game could be cool. Imagine Leazas as villains.
>>126317101
That implies she gives a shit about her own citizen. She would probably turn all of them into her sex slaves if she could.
>>126317625
I wonder how Lia's relationship with Rance would change if he were already Helman or Zeth's champion when he took her virginity.
>>126317972
She cares about her country being a prosperous global power though, and the citizens' living quality is pretty much a side effect of that.
She also carefully removes any naysayers to make sure she has a 100 percent approval rating.
>>126318185
Typical Lia. She's aware that a happy kingdom is an efficient one. Stessel is just a jackass in comparison.
>>126318406
Stessel only has Government 1, so he's only good at the backstabbing and political espionage part. I guess you need Government 2 to actually be an efficient ruler.
>>126317972
She clearly cares about her citizens, they work and obey for her after all. Rance is just above them
>>126318038
I just can't see Rance being Zeth's champion and She wouldn't respond well to Helman's champion regardless of who it is
>>126318185
Her word is law so she's within her rights to do that, the citizens don't get targeted by this so it wouldn't bother them. The nobles on the other hand have quite a lot of complaints about her but lost their right to complain
>>126318516
Nah, Stessel doesn't actually try to make the best of his country. He just cares about his own hide.
Besides, Maris is the one that manages most of the political stuff and has Government 1. Lia only makes the important decisions like Rance in KR.
>>126318586
>I just can't see Rance being Zeth's champion
But in TADA's dream game you could make him it.
>>126318738
I just can't see a way for Rance to beat Zeth's system without assistance from his normal party
>>126318716
>Maris is the one that manages most of the political stuff and has Government 1.
Maris takes care of the minor matters and assists Lia, Lia herself has taken full control in the current canon thanks to Maris's training since III
