Here is the Rance IX summary paste

I basically have to stop sleeping I guess
In Rance IV is it possible to keep Shizuka at level 3 for the final boss?
Less than a month to the OVA
>>143457409
Anyone know how long IX's script is? I wonder how long it'd take to actually translate.
>>143463632
It feels like the longest Rance game but Quest is hard to judge
>>143463691
>It feels like the longest Rance game
Huh, really? I played both it and Quest and I don't recall IX being that long compared to Quest... Quest was long as fuck, especially with Magnum.
And while IX did have the multiple endings, Quest had six billion character interactions and sidequests. But then again maybe it just felt longer because there was a lot of grinding, I dunno.
>>143463859
Yeah. It's hard to judge because IX is pretty linear while Quests' is pretty disjoint with a lot of gameplay in between
>>143465037
Just a did a quick check by decompiling the games' files. Seems like Rance IX has more characters, but Rance Quest Magnum has more lines of text. This is probably because a lot of RQM's text is just short little names and tiny strings. So overall it seems like IX would actually take longer than Quest to translate, probably. Didn't expect that.
>>143463859
I think Quest with Magnum with newest patch is definitely longer than IX. It is also possible that IX is shorter than VI or Sengoku.
>>143466652
IX is definitely longer than VI and Sengoku.
>>143466652
IX seems short since it's mostly text with a bit of gameplay in-between. Other titles have gameplay with text in-between, so they seem longer.
>>143466652
You'll finish IX quicker than you finish VI or Sengoku but in terms of text it's a much longer game
>>143466537
That seems about right
>>143466652
Quest Magnum is longer than both VI and Sengoku in terms of text iirc. So IX can't be shorter than VI or VII.

Question for those of us here who go on other boards as well: is there a specific time when it seems shittier than usual to you?
>>143484025
>Question for those of us here who go on other boards as well: is there a specific time when it seems shittier than usual to you?
Yes, when you start posting.
>>143484025
/m/ is shit all the time and I only go to /a/ for specific threads of anime I'm watching. And those threads aren't the most active anyway.
>>143484025
That would require me to be aware of what the time is
>>143485647
Most computers have the ability to display a clock, what's your excuse?
>>143485776
I have no reason to pay attention to what the time is?
>Escalayer Edition
>Thread dies.
Fucking hell, I'm the guy who was having Yokai problems last thread. So I went and loaded up the only other save I could find where I'd been capping them.
I don't get this shit, I've lost count of how many times I've tried to capture different girls, and on this KTM save, I've yet to fail.
Blows my fucking mind.
>>143487416
I've been too busy replaying srwz 2.1 lately, then again the thread died when I was asleep.
>>143488351
I was also asleep.
It's the non-Australians letting us down
>>143491249
Well sorry I have things to do.

>>143463632
From what I remember, If you take SR script as base, then:
VI = 31/30 SR
IX = 7/6 SR
RQM = 3/2 SR

Does Kichokou Rance have any music or did I fuck something up? This shit is creepily silent
>>143505049
You fucked up. KR has music and it's really good.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoBFDWNLUNA
>>143505049
You fucked something up. I never had that problem so I don't know how to fix it.
>>143505049
It's supposed to play music, the translation patch along with all the other old games should have something to fix it.
>>143484170
Fair enough.
>>143484415
Something being shit doesn't prevent it from having times when it's even shittier than usual, though I'm sure you already knew that.
>>143505170
>>143505174
>>143506025
Alright, I just installed the inmm thing wrong
apparently. I gotta say the little 80s OP thing was kinda hilarious what with the frolicking portraits.

>it's a beach event
>>143527718
Has there been any shred of news about Rance 10 yet?
>>143487438
I think I might've cracked the Yokai girls stuff. It's random, but it's determined as soon as the game knows what units you're going to face.
This might also have something to do with why hardly anyone reports failure capturing the girls - when they first appear, the game knows that you're going to face them, and they might be hard coded to be capped if you succeed the first time (or, it may just be that whatever is used to make the game force the girl to be present in the battle also puts the RNG in the right state for them to be capped).
Thoughts? It's what my current experiments seem to show - if I screenshot before I find out if I've got the girl or not, then I note down the result of the fight (get the girl or not) and then reload, it seems that I can predict whether or not I'm getting the girl based on the enemy formation that I see upon scouting.
>>143536238
Not yet. Hence why we're so quiet.
Should start getting stuff in a few months
>>143536415
>>143536415
That is the sort of lazy programming Alicesoft do so makes sense
P10.
Is there anything I should touch up or change on the SR side of the wiki? I'm finally getting round to attending to all those nitpicks I listed like 50 threads ago.
>>143540524
You should play KR already

And oh, 03 did have a version of the mahou tsukai no onna no ko, didn't notice because of different name and being slower paced.

Yeah, I played the game. I just never noticed the similarity with 魔法使いの女の子, which was basically the 4 witches (but manly) Shizuka theme

We'll die when the ova is released because everyone will be too busy fapping
>>143563773
Obviously the thread died when just the preview images were posted and the people bumping were too busy fapping to Lia and Maris
>>143564130
>>143563773
Don't worry, the animation of the ova is so clunky and messed up I can't fap to it.
>Page 9+1
>>143536415
I don't know about that hard coded thing, but I did realize that I had much harder time to capture them at higher difficulty (and harder means the chance to trigger the capture scenes is smaller, not the difficulty of defeating them in battle).
>>143566751
You need to get more creative.
>>143568086
I just need to stop being lazy and go through all those pixiv pages recover the pics I lost when my computer exploded.
>>143565097
Yeah, I can't really get myself in the OVA. I mean, it's nice to see Rance getting more popular via this adaption, but the animation is so dissapointing. I enjoy fapping to the Rance 1 Doujinshi (the pulptenks's one) 10 times better than the OVA.
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7zndjgosVRc_hYn_7Q2Ocqn-OfTpItge
>>143568810
Is Rance getting more popular?
So far the OVA has been shit.

I hope we get less raped than /xcg/ is getting right now.
>>143570545
hopefully
>>143568810
I just took a quick look at some hentai online websites, there are some people commenting that they like the ova and even asked where can they get the eroge. So yes, Rance is getting more popular.
>>143571247
The last time I read about websites like that was someone ranking the rance ova (reason being it's too hyped) in the bottom 5 while some generic wife ntr-rapefest was the best one
Impossible to take anyone seriously about these things
>>143570545

>>143571247
I saw someone post Shizuka on /ck/ one time. I was a little surprised.
>>143574349
I still don't get where the golem gets a working penis that can jizz unless that's the power of dark lord magic.
And why is he some kind of belt like object?
>>143575530
Satella deliberately created his penis that way.
She boasts about it
>>143575914
Satella has too much free time.
>>143575982
she wanted to see if Isis could impregnate Noah
>>143576528
That's pretty fucking impressive magic if it can do that.

/hanny/ manager, you should probably go with counter attack instead of possession for the next games.
>>143585314
>>143585314
Don't use defensive goalkeepers when you're playing super high and compact defense without anyone in the defense. You need sweeper goalies to stop throughballs.
Or, you know, play a little more defensively, but that wouldn't really be the Rance way now would it. Also, always sub in the best conditioned players at the start, and try lowering the support range when your players keep doing retarded passes.
Still, exceptionally bad luck this game. Can't be helped.
>>143586371
Will take that into consideration
To the anon who made the tactics. We can actually change things up a bit now if you want to work on them
well I'm o'ff to sleep

What are you talking about?
>>143577871
Official doujin is still a doujin
Is it worth playing the Rance series for the plot, skipping all the worthless fap bait and gameplay?
>>143591379
Yes though I wouldn't advise skipping the gameplay which can be pretty fun.
A few of the sex scenes do have major character development importance
>>143591379
You'll miss a bunch of important parts if you skip the plot. The gameplay is nice in some games too.
>>143591520
>skip the plot
the porn. Obviously.
>>143591379
>>143591460
>>143591520
>>143591624

>>143616835
Kenshin prays hard for Rance, I don't have a clue on how things work but he might end up a part of the devil king.
>>143616384
Either you already have a drawing of it ready yourself, or you give the guy ideas and he comes back with a couple different options.
>>143617108
>Buddha's teachings
How exactly does Buddhism exist in that world? I know it's a reference to IRL Kenshin's faith but it doesn't make much sense in context
>>143616338
Only part of that design I dislike is the asymmetry on the one part.
>>143617468
How wouldn't he?
>>143617468
Might be a shitty translation. Either that, or it's just a super small religion of a handful few people of JAPAN.
>>143617607
>How wouldn't he?
How would it be? Buddha isn't something that exists or has existed in that world
>>143617108
Does she rank better than lia in terms of being best girl or is leazas factor too strong?
>>143617468
The Tenshi religion is basically Buddhism, in Japanese it's probably something that when translated says Buddhist teachings but overall it's a generic term for that style of belief.
Just a guess anyways.
>>143618212
Yeah I get that but calling it Buddhism instead of Tenshism makes it sound like they are 2 different religions and if they indeed 2 different religions then how did the term Buddha come into their world when there isn't one in their world.
Hopefully it's just a translation hiccup
>>143617108
I swear I remember there being some kind of sexual Buddhism
>>143618916
A movement believing that Indulging in sex is the path to enlightenment? That really wouldn't surprise me
>>143618152
Kenshin's love is pure and radiating, so much that Rance couldn't handle it at first, also unlike Lia she doesn't obsessively force herself onto him at the expense of other girls.
There's also that other scene, I forget a whole bunch of lines but it went something like
>Ai: Does kenshin know we're sleeping together?
>Rance: Yeah of course I told her
>Ai: What do you mean of course!?
>Rance: I mean you're best buddies right?
>I forget what Ai said here
>Rance: But she was completely fine with it though
>Then I forget the rest of the scene
>>143619759
To be fair, Lia has zero issues with Rance fucking other women.
>>143620160
Lia's issue is that she wants to be number 1, that's lead to some problems in the past.
>>143620160
I thought she does but just never shows it anymore in order make rance happy more often
>>143621084
To be fair, she's clearly the best. Darling is in the wrong here.
>>143621186
She doesn't, in fact she wants to join in on it.
>>143621084
True, thankfully she's grown up a bit over the years. I still question Rance's taste, Lia is the best
>>143619114
Yeah, I read it in a book about Buddhism a couple years ago. It's one of the offshoots.
>>143621421
It feels like the art style is changing all over in this picture. It's really awkward.
>>143622324
>good rance
>good lia
>sketch of other princess
>maris worse than 01
At least the fruits on the table look consistent
>>143622587
01 is newer than Quest
>>143622587
Magic looking like that is a visual representation of how she feels at that point in time.
>>143622669
oops, could've sworn that was from 03
>>143622774
>magic
Even in quest, there's 0 scenes which is close to 03 tier
>>143622910
I wouldn't agree on that. Satella's scenes and the Angel scene are quite a bit better than most of 03's scenes. There's also some others that are on-par with 03 like Kenshin's second scene, Modern's scene, Pastel's scene and Suzume's scene.
Quest overall is inferior to 03 but you're selling it too short
>>143622910
03 tier?
>>143623245
I did like most of the scenes but I still liked 01 a lot better, I guess I am selling it short but I don't think I'm evaluating it correctly in the first place
Also not a fan of golem or multimen rape
>>143623407
I rank the games by the amount ofmaris appearances and scenes
0 scenes (with faces) = not very interesting (to me at least)
>>143623619
Oh, you're definitely not evaluating it correctly at all then, nevermind.
>>143623619
This is how I look at it.
01's best scenes are better than 03's but 03 has more higher quality scenes than 01
>Also not a fan of golem or multimen rape
Neither am I. I tend to ignore all of those scenes when I talk about the scenes
What is eiyuu senki
>>143623619
>>143623975
I don't think I'd get along too well with you guys
>>143621186
She's never had problems with Rance sleeping with a whole bunch of other girls, the only girls she gets jealous at are the ones that get really close to Rance.
Question: When is the OVA gonna come out?
>>143625072
Lia hates it when Rance gets other women that might get on her affection tier or higher.
>>143619759
I thought I'd have a screencap of the scene somewhere in this folder of mine, oh well here's a random scene involving Kenshin and Sill's fluffy hair.

Lia would like if Rance only ever had sex with her, she just knows that's not happening, so no point in being mad about it. So she at least want to keep herself as the most important, or at least as important as possible to him.
>>143639768
Dunno. Lia generally enjoys threesomes
>>143639768
>Lia would like if Rance only ever had sex with her, she just knows that's not happening
Considering how much she enjoys threesomes, that's clearly not true. She simply wants to spend time with Rance and have enjoyable sex with him
>>143639768
>Lia would like if Rance only ever had sex with her
I don't remember Lia ever hinting towards that, she just wanted to be his #1 and marriage is good method to draw a line in the sand (Even if the law said she had to, she could easy remove it if she didn't want to get married)
Nowadays she's dropped the marriage angle and just wants to be high ranking on his affection list, Which she clearly is as shown in Quest/IX.
>>143640439
she'd still be made if she finds out that twowell one nowof her subordinates are fated girls and she isn't
>>143640439
>high ranking on his affection list
Is she?
>>143640614
Yes
Not the level of the big 3 but the level below that
>>143640614
Yes, she's arguably only ranks lower than Sill, Shizuka and Kanami and Lia is one of the very few girls that Rance actively hangs out in his free time (Another example of this would be Suzume)
>>143640547
Understandably, her subordinates should be actively trying to advance her standing as they work for her. She's willing to overlook it due to friendship though
So it turns out Amitos actually was a Helman spy for /hanny/
Defensive minded goalkeepers are apparently the worst type of goalkeeper
>>143638010
Make the team do bold and underhanded tactics if you can, that's how Rance would do it.
>>143644379
Send Shizuka out naked
Paging /hanny/ manager, make sure you get those tactics off me on discord, you need to submit them 2 hours before the first match starts.

Offense is the best defense, do what Rance would.

Daiteikoku may have been a mess but at least it gave us Idol Hitler.
