Apparently this thread dies when I sleep now
http://exhentai.org/g/914194/3909c1e223/
Translated English Isoroku Doujin
We're really having a bad day. 2 dead threads in 1 day. I have stuffs to care off, a book to return to the library and then I may not feel lazy to start Evenicle.
WE'RE ALIVE. Thank god.
Why's /vg/ so busy lately? I look away for 5 minutes when we're on page 9, and then we're archived.
>>135215246
I'd normally be bumping as well but I feel asleep on the keyboard
>>135215929
Needs 15 pages to be honest
I resumed collegue today and I'm one of the regular that sometimes bumps.
I guess it was a combination of a lot of people not being around today.
>>135216121
I agree, 10 isn't enough for this board.
If we just keep dying like this, we should do what so many other generals have done and start a Discord group.
>>135216631
It is only one day so for now lets continue as normal
>>135216393
This is no coincidence.
>>135217072
There's also two that voted for the Free Cities.
Helman only has manly men and even their women are manly(Minerva, Amitos). Meanwhile, the Free Cities has Bird.
>>135217072
Two people voted for Rolex in the best swordsman poll as well
>>135217451
Would Bird try to seduce a Helman woman? I mean, he must be pretty desperate by now.
>>135217921
Something like this is the only thing Bird can aim for.
>>135216270
I'm also usually bumping around that time and the thread died while I was watching Ajin, so yeah. All 5 regulars of /haniho/ looked away at the same time.
Surely nothing bad will come of attacking him.
>>135219067
>Attacking Pulptenks father
Come on
>>135217451
Sheila, Anasel, Elena etc
>>135219486
Pulptenks is love.
How far in the game does she pop up?
>>135219606
Saving her is the first major objective in the game so maybe an hour or two depending on how much you fuck around in town and the early game wilderness?
>>135219606
She has two sex scenes
>>135220007
That's not enough. I hope she's as cute in game as the OVA.
>>135219606
There is a few things that are missable. Like some gal monsters CGs, better to save often. Like once a day or at least once a level.
Try reading the newspapers on the inn from time to time, there is some fun lore info on it.
>>135220561
Cuter
The OVA does a shit job in general
>>135220747
Oh shoot, thanks for letting me know.
I don't know if I'll be able to read the newspapers very well, but I'll give it a shot.
I really don't know what to say about this mother and daughter. Ai seems to have the male role somewhat mixed up to say the very least.
>>135215246
Sen doujin is next by the way
>>135220786
Oh boy, I'm really excited then - because she was pretty cute in the OVA.
>>135215246
>>135222321
Absolutely glorious.
>>135216270
I had the last post, but the thread died in less than 20 minutes. /vg/ is just faster than usual.
>>135223241
That's what I was thinking too.
Either the jannies aren't pruning correctly, or there's been a new huge game release.

>>135223327
As far as I'm aware, The Division was the last "big" game release. Hyrule Warriors Legends is another week~ away, then Dark Souls 3 is next month.

>>135223732
He looks fine at times.
>>135224184
Alright, so be it.
Tracking down Alice 2010, 5D, and VI is going to be a pain in the ass.
>>135220561
She's absurdly popular.
>>135225249
Kind of sad that the new generation of Japs can't appreciate Maris
>>135225376
>Maris that low
What the fuck, Japan
>>135225376
More importantly.
>Sill above Menad and Willis
>>135226376
>And Lia and Yulang
I'm terrible when it comes to name Kanji, what's her name? Nami something?
>>135226779
Nami Takeda IIRC?
>>135226779
Horikawa Nami, Her real name is >>135227005 though
>>135227005
>>135227167
Oh damn, really? Well, she did say she was from Takeda.
She also said that Rance reminds her of her brother, I believe. Hmm.
>>135227352
She's the Takeda princess basically akin to Senhime,
>>135227539
That's awesome. I love her design, too - really attractive.
>>135226376
That isn't surprising. Sill generally only loses to relevant characters.
>>135226480
Lia isn't that popular
>>135226779
Horikawa Nami but she's the actual Takeda heir.
Rance resembling her brother is a reference to the initial plans for Sengoku Rance which was going to be a RPG where Rance joined Takeda
>>135228357
>RPG where Rance joined Takeda
That sounds amazing.
Then again, joining Oda is pretty awesome too.
>>135228357
>Sill generally only loses to relevant characters.
>Loses to Nami, Millie, Pulptenks and that Mysterious Ninja that never appeared again.
>>135229098
Relevant characters and a few other characters per game.
And in Rance 01 Mysterious Ninja is the only other major girl in the game.
Pulptenks was also great while Milly and Nami are really pretty
Damn Nami, that hurts.
At least we're better than /vn/
>>135230957
That's not very hard.
So many options, oh my.
Loving every second of this conversation
>>135232998
fuck Milly
>>135233545
D-Do I have to?
Can I fuck Nami instead?
>>135233808
You can fuck both, You need quite a bit of money to buy the item to beat Nami though
>>135233808
Do both
>>135233848
>>135234234
Neat, will do. Is there a hard time limit on these things?
>>135234616
Milly has a timing related to her event and if you're too slow you won't get access to quest to get her scene, Nami's you can do anytime after seeing the required event
>>135234616
From memory there sort of is for Milly.
But it's late game stuff
>>135234810
>>135234882
Millie has two, the time she gets attacked by the giant lizard and the glasses that disappear after finishing the mansion.
>>135233421
How is Tsumamigui 3? From a few of the posts I've seen here, the girls seem a little... bitchy.
>>135234810
>>135234882
Ah, okay. Gotcha. I'm worried about a hard time limit for the game in general, as well - I tend to spend way too much time fucking around.
>>135235004
Tsumamigui is one of their NTR games. The girls have to be sluts for the concept to work
>>135235273
If the girls are sluts, wouldn't it just be cheating?
>>135235351
Don't think too hard about it.
They have very loose legs though
>>135235004
Milly's first event is triggered by some dialogue, you might want to look up a walkthrough for the side quests in 01 if you want to do them all.
I'm honestly not sure how to describe Tsumamigui 3 at this point other than Miyuri and Kazuto being Infuriating beyond belief. All of the women are sluts to some degree but Miyuri seems to be one the of worst kinds of sluts, those who emotionally manipulate without even noticing and cause quite a large deal of pain for men.
>>135235515
That emotional manipulation isn't exclusive to sluts.
>>135235659
Women and Slut are interchangeable terms in this case.
>>135235515
Damnit. I usually try to do all the side quests, but hitting all the flags within small timeframes, following a wiki in a language I'm bad at seems like a disaster.
>>135235879
Milly's scene is worth it
>>135235989
If she's the only girl with time restrictions for the most part, then I think I'll be fine if I don't push events too fast.
I'm still worried that I might only have X amount of days to clear the game, though.
>>135236327
There's no overall time limit.
>>135236327
There's no time limit that I'm aware of, nor should it take you anywhere near that long to finish it in case there is one
>>135236412
>>135236552
Phew, that makes things a lot easier then. I was worried I didn't have time to go fuck around and grind in the wilderness for a bit.
>>135236692
You might want to keep a piece of paper around to draw a map out the main outside area with notes of what appears on each ? square.
>>135236798
It gets that bad? Yikes.
>>135237402
It gets that bad in the 25+ area
>>135235879
https://my.mixtape.moe/qqmwab.mp4
Better animation than the Pulptenks sex scene in the OVA
>>135237402
Rance 03 has the same dungeon system but fortunately Rance 03 has maps
I found /tg/guy's stupid roll chart when organising my folders
>>135237798
I don't even.
>>135238363
this one?
>leila glegnee
>>135238940
>There aren't dubs in /vg/
Man, I've just been running around town in 01 and using all the actions I have available for a while. This is pretty entertaining.
I suppose I should go talk to Pulptenks' father now, though.
>>135238940
I don't want Helman scum
>>135238940
05, 05, 05, 05.
Alternatively, I would a 54, 28, 83, or 30. Maybe 01.
This seems new
>>135240783
Only one line so far but it seems QD has the same personality as in Evenicle
For some reason I really like her voice
Heh, that was unfortunate.
>>135241231
Kuu is the best regardless of what game she's in.
This reminds me, the anon playing 01 probably should've read this before starting 01, huh?
In Evenicle they didn't even try to hide she was in charge of camelot did they?
Same Theme.
also
>trying to eat the protagonist
>>135241643
No, QD and Aruther are stated to quell in Camelot
>>135241576
Wait, why should I have read Drapeko before starting 01?
>>135241786
No, not Drapeko. That Evenicle bonus thing that came with the popularity poll. It has some hilarious short scenes and one extra H-scene for Kath.
>>135241972
OH. I intentionally skipped that. No Ramius H-scene, no play.
>>135241785
Once I finish Drapeko I can do my long awaited replay.
If I'm confident with my reading after that I might try anddo a translation patch for Haru Urare
>>135242305Is that the prostitute simulator?
>>135242735
Yes
>>135243012
Nice. That's one of my fetishes.I'm not good at JP yet, but someday I'll become a hero of /haniho/ and translate something
I've already decided QD is best girl
I got the 100 advance gold from Pulptenks' father, do I have to buy the very short sword from the weapon shop, or can I get Rance's sword back from Nami?
>>135241231
Actually no. She's obviously a lot younger.
I can see her developing into having the same personality as Evenicle QD though
>>135243903
You never get that sword back
>>135244035
What? It was just supposed to be collateral, goddamnit.
Interesting.
>>135244102
You don't get it back because Rance completely forgets about it
>>135244287
She's just a mysterious but competent ninja who never appears again.
I have visual proof of this
>>135244493
>competent
Right.
>>135244714
>>135244020
stop trying to eat him QD
>>135245028
I want sex scenes with the nee-san
>>135244806
How did that happen?
>>135245198
Yep. QD's VA is perfect
>>135245282
Highly competent ninja
>>135245363
>QD tells some 10 year old kid that he's lost forever
>he starts crying and calling for his nee-san
>QD starts laughing at him
>Este starts crying out a list of about 30 names he'll never see again
>Oh I said Gilbert twice
>QD gets annoyed about how big his list of people is
Got the feeling that I'm going to enjoy this
>>135245592
Did they retcon her into competency?
>>135245695
No. The mysterious ninja fails to capture Sill of all people
>>135245695
It's not Kanami
http://105.imagebam.com/download/8EP3keueqQYKJlUs3Rd26Q/47181/471800955/proof.jpg
Can a hymen be torn twice?
No
QED
>>135246131
The plot thickens.
>>135246131
> Can a hymen be torn twice?
Yes, because it can be surgically restored.
I wonder if Hawzel and Hornet regenerate their hymens
>>135247014
Kanami you slut
>>135247014
She could also be a phoenix.
>>135247180
Doubt it, Kamilla's didn't
QD is much better looking than Noce
>>135247247
Kamilla wasn't a virgin when she became a demon
But Satella's didn't in Magnum so obviously they don't
they weren't kidding about the bad ends
Gentle Rance, eh?
>>135248607
Rance does not approve
>>135250162
But Rance is the biggest lolicon of them all
>>135250162
Contraception should be banned from my eroge
I see, I see.
Rance is being a nice guy, and she pulls this.
>>135250461
Kanami is Sioux's cool nee-san after all
>>135250427
I concur, ban contraception. Ban Riche as well.
>>135250427
QD has a best girl rivalBet this maid betrays Este though
>>135251027
There is always hope that the Kalar Queen is pregnant, after all Riche didn't use a contraception spell and the queen did state she is still fertile.
>1/999
Well fuck
>>135251629
0/999***
>>135251510
All these bad ends
>>135251629
Meanwhile slutty mcslutt is 150
So, where do I take these ALICEMAN pennies? I think it says the Monument of the Saint.
>>135252021
In the Main wilderness there is a shine to ALICEMAN, take them thier and you get 1 bonus ability per coin. There's a optional order to choose as well
>>135252110
Neat. How deep in the wilderness is it?
>>135252160
Not very deep and you can get to it without a single battle with proper movements IIRC
This is a pretty funny game
>>135252110
>>135252275
一発屋 = Critical damage bonus
超代謝 = 15% heal after each battle
粘り腰 = Chance of survival even if knocked to 0 HP
免疫力 = Length of abnormal states is shortened
戦闘狂 = 20% bonus XP
戦闘狂 = 20% bonus gold
You want to get 超代謝 -> 戦闘狂 -> 戦闘狂 ASAP
>>135252590
Ah, excellent. Thanks anon. Saves me the trouble of having to look them up.
>>135252590
>You want to get 超代謝 -> 戦闘狂 -> 戦闘狂 ASAP
Why?
>>135252821
超代謝 = Means you are no longer capped on exploring via HP
戦闘狂 = Faster leveling saves grinding and snowballs the eariler you get it but you can't use to it's maximum benefit without 超代謝
戦闘狂 = You need money to buy better equipment and the late game stuff costs a lot so the earlier you get this the less you have to grind later on
一発屋 is very good but due to the random nature it's ranked below the 3 above
The other bonuses are good but don't effect game play as much as those 3 as all of they all help soften the blow when you fuck up, and you shouldn't be fucking up to begin with.
My sides.
>>135250162
He gets a loli maid anyway
Just happens to be the Vampire Princess
>>135254257
Would you give QD your used underpants for a transforming mecha?
>>135254990
Who wouldn't is the better question.
>>135255019
Helman
Good, now stop hogging up screen time that the other girls need.
>>135255657
I want to knock her up and then leave her to raise the kid on her own
>>135254990
oops
Well apparently QD can make androids and shit
>>135256123
I couldn't subject my own blood to that.
Oh for fuck sake, is this women some kind of fucked up succubus?
>>135256830
She seems like it. Damn, she has issues.
>>135256830
Yes
>>135256830
To be fair, the guy is clearly at fault in that situation. He's held a crush for a women who already denied his confession and who has already married another man a good 10 years ago, on top of that they don't keep in contact at all. Nobody in that game knows how to move on
>full blooded incest
Yes
Well damn, I didn't expect this to happen so early.
>>135257649
You fight her more than once.
This is why your maids should wear underwear
Wait, how do I buy the item to advance Pulptenks' side quest line (the 980 gold one)? It's supposed to be at I, NET.
>>135258534
Oh, figured it out. Talked to the robot and he updated his database and items for sale.
>>135258796
>he
>>135258832
Oh come on, it's a robot.
>>135258905
Haha.
>>135251510
Yeah knew it
>>135259635
Fortunately QD isn't a treacherous whore
>>135259752
Obviously not
>>135259752
Sorry for doubting your best girl status
For anon playing Rance 01, remember to save from time to time. There are two slight different scenes for Yulang depending if you beat her in the coliseum using a trick or actually level up enough to beat her fair. You would want to go with the trick as that also unlock Nami's scene, but at least save and beat her fair once for all scenes (or just get a save later and see it, I guess). And don't worry about the time limit on Millie, it only starts after the scene you try to go into the weapon shop and she isn't there. Then you have 3 days to do something.
QD a QT
>>135259841
Going to rape the fuck out of that treacherous bitch of a sister
>>135258905
>>135260943
Mighty Doragon
>>135260130
That's a relief, the time limit was hanging over my head like the sword of Damocles - and it turns out it didn't need to be.
I've been making a new save every 2-3 days or so, so when the time comes I should have a save close to it - thanks for the advice.
Oh, and after going through her scenes and side quest, I have to say even more so - Pulptenks is love.
>Est has to collect the seven dragon gems to complete his wish
This is a highly original plot

Never seen such thing before.

Two.
Well we died twice during the my sleep last night so please don't die this time.
I also do recommend Drapeko if anyone has time to kill. It's pretty funny so far.
We were about to die. Don't leave NOW!
>>135271772
I still have Evenicle to see until the end before even feeling like doing anything else.
Not again.
>>135280690
Beside the announcement of a new Fate game, I don't see what else could make vg move so fast since yesterday.
>>135266414
What is she trying to say?
>>135280920
I haven't been able to figure it out yet, either.
Must be a lot of shitpost threads being made or something. Of course, we have the infamous /lolg/ that fucking bloats the board with it's previous threads constantly.
Well then, 1 last bump from me before I have to return this book. Then, if I'm free, I'll actually fully start Evenicle in Japanese. Big pain in the ass but that's to be expected.
>>135282790
I believe in you, anon.
I don't know, something seems off here. Do you really belong at this school?
>>135285291
Obviously, don't you see her school uniform? Duh, I don't know what are you thinking.
>>135285291
Just like the mysterious ninja, that's another character that never shows up again.
>>135286068
Aw man, that's a shame! She's extremely attractive. I sure hope she shows up again someday.
>>135285680
I don't know, something just seems off about the uniform on her.I find it hilarious that Rance noticed something was off as he was leaving, too.
>>135286784
He has a good intuition regarding women.
>>135280920
Another what game?
>>135286905
That's for sure.
Tell me about Kamilla.
She's in VI, right?
>>135290972
she's a dragon slut
This is gold.
>>135292864
Can't wait to see him again in 04. It'll be hilarious.
>>135293002
There's going to be an 04? Damn, they're fully embracing the remake hype. Not that I'm opposed to it.

III ends on a cliffhanger after all
>>135293902
TADA said he wants to remake VI too so chances are high. But it isn't announced yet, nor should be for quite some time.
>>135294559
Jesus, how much are they going to change in canon?
Maybe Feliss will get some better circumstances.
>>135283295
Thank you, but not feeling down and give up will be really hard cause it's much bigger step up than kanas.
>>135294559
>>135294771
>>135294825
Yeah IV, I mistyped.
>>135294475
Well, IV looks pretty solid even now, why remake it? There must be a certain point when remaking a game would be, for lack of a better word, pointless. If they continue with this, by the time X and 05(?06?) releases, they'll thing about remaking sengoku, because it doesn't have voiced characters or something. And then you can just endlessly remake those 10 rance games.

> IV looks pretty solid
finally someone with good taste in this shithole
>>135295004
IV is a 22 years old game. Remaking it isn't that weird.
>>135294980
Damnit, I'm disappointed.It looks like Feliss is still doomed to have hundreds of demon rape babies.
>>135295004
At least as of now, TADA don't think 5D nor VI needs a remake.
After a 04, maybe they would make the "Rance V" that never came to be.
>>135295612
Why would they change that?
>>135295820
I thought I remembered hearing about a lot of unpleasant things being retconned for heroines in the remakes.
>>135296010
I can't think of any other than Kanami and the devils.
>>135296124
And that wasn't even because of her being a main heroine, but because they thought that with how Rance's character was established later on, he wouldn't just let a woman on his side be raped by demons like that.
>>135296431
That makes sense. I guess that's what I was thinking about when I remembered people talking about the retcons.
Wait, I get to fight in the Colosseum? That's pretty cool.
>>135295820
Nagi looks a bit weirdly thick on that cover
>>135295168
Hey, I liked IV too, I thought I was the only one who thought it was pretty decent and still holds out today, unlike III.
>>135295004
Well, with the current standard of VNs, 5D and VI would still fit in, despite being old. Until they become what III and IV has become to the current industry, then they might remake those.
Oh, the slutty sister, I love her!
>>135299261
Still think that the lack of fabulous Rance expressions is a major flaw of the remake series.
The may make up for it in the CGs, but his regular expressions are always fun to see.
>>135299964
*They make make up for it
>>135299964
This, I absolutely agree with. I hate that he's just a see through sprite on the side. Is it the same in 03?
Also, the whole eye, mouth, hand thing is kind of irksome.
