you mean "manchildren"

So how do you prevent rance from withdrawing after one fight?

>>7791540
Take off the black bracelet.

>>7791548

Well fuck me, i thought i had to wear it since i got it from the yankee leader and whatnot.

Anyone care to spoil the game's ending for me?

>>7791554
Rance marries Miki and becomes the demon king to free Sill

>>7791559
If only...

>>7791559
Only to find out that he can't penetrate her hymen because the Demon King's barrier is far too powerful.

Miki later asks for the help of Kayblis to lose her virginity so that Rance can fuck her, but she ends up getting addicted to his eight razor cocks and tells Rance that his tiny Hyper Weapon can no longer satisfy her. Since Kayblis is bound to listen to the Demon King's orders, Miki demands her to fuck her for the rest of her 1000-year reign. Whalegod finds this hilarious, humans are happy since there's no evil overlord gunning for them, Rance is traumatized, all's right in the world.

So the question is, is it any good? After the trainwreck of Daiteikoku, I'm not sure if I want to try...

>>7791823
If you liked Rance 6 you'll like it

>>7791823
>trainwreck
I thought trainwreck referred to 'shit that was good in the beginning but just gt progressively worse at a really fast pace' not 'shit throughout'.

>>7791863
I'm pretty sure that it means just a disaster in general.

Is it just me, or is there not as much sex in this game than in some of the others?

Anyone want to guess what her first H-scene is going to be like in future games?

>>7792063
same as kouhime

>>7792063
She tries to have consensual sex with her boyfriend only for her overprotective father to kick down the door and stab the dude with Chaos before giving her a lecture about how all men are monsters. Eventually becomes a lesbian.

>>7792084
You pretty much just described a large portion of a book I read recently.

What's the condition to starts quest 33?

>>7792063
I want a plush of her.

Any rule 34 of Lysette?

>>7792695
1. rance must be used
2. only 1 person allowed

>>7792988
Rika copypaste

So wait, there is no way of skipping/delaying actions in battle? So I can't save up skills for later, at all?

>>7793028
no skip/delay
you CAN save up skill points and it's recommended you do so and spend them on the relevant white skills

>>7793053
Thanks. I was hoping that there would be a skip function ala Sengoku, but alas. . .I sense lots of anguish to come. Also, what was that thing about having sex and decreasing levels again? Haven't reached that point but I recall reading something like that. . .

People are starting to complain that Rance Quest really feels unfinished.

>>7793523
why

>>7792988
Stop sexualizing Lysette !

The biggest revelation of Rance Quest is that Rocky is actually 16 years old

Actual spoiler here: Kalars can't do shit to help Sill. She remains an ice cube and Rance probably sad rapes Sachiko.

>>7793523
Well, it feels unfinished for me in the way that Sengoku did. When the fuck is Rance 9 going to come out already?

P.S. Pastel talks almost like Lafiel.

>>7793082
Every time you H someone to raise cap, they reset to level 1 because of the curse.


Anyways, the game has been going super slow for me once I reached the 25~ difficulty missions. Have to grind so much for super low exp. Really temped to cheat, but don't want to at the same time.

>>7791550
Dude, the bracelet's description says that it's a bracelet that makes you go party for several times. It has no merit. Yes, the description says the item has no merit.

Anybody here know how compulsory education for Sachiko and sex skills work for Rance?

>>7793556
Don't you have stronger enemies in 25 level missions? Why don't you just grind on those same missions? It's not like the game punishes you for abandoning missions you can't finish.

>>7793563
Usually takes too long for the exp to be worth it. Lately I've been doing #31, the red star doesn't take long to do and gives 900 exp if everyone lives.

>>7793558
Looked at 2ch and no one has seemed to figure it out yet. Most think it's alicesoft trolling and making you waste points.

>>7793570

Compulsory eduction is required for one of Sachiko's quests, haven't seen anything for the other yet.

After grinding and playing this for a bit, I actually miss doing the forest in Rance 6 for orbs 100~ times...

>>7793588
Actually, no. I actually enjoy this system than the orb hunting. Now I understand why there's no wait command. The thing would've become too passive it was there. Good thing.

HCG where?

>>7793751
you are an idiot.

Kanami is cuter than ever before.

What do you do on quest 65?

>>7793547
I really hope Rance doesn't have to become the Demon King.

he won't

that (dis)honor goes to Capelis

I'm pretty late but, does Rance get to bone any lolis in this game?

>>7794311
He bones Sachiko. Like, alot...

So, what do you keep on a "new game+"?

Excuse me, I posted this on the general VN thread, but it went on answerless [?].

Using Google, I managed to extract, modify, and inject back the script of the game. However, the font used is clearly meant for Japanese text, as you can see in the picture. Google can only help me so far, so I was wondering if one of you gentlemen know how to change the font type, or perhaps how to break lines efficiently? Thank you.

>>7794373
You keep 20 percent of the levels you worked for in the last game. If I heard correctly, the same amount of skill points, money and items/weapons/equipment.
>>7794360
Sachiko isn't a loli.

>>7794564
She looks like it.

Oh dear... I knew Kopandon had a tough life, but man, her continuing story is surprising. As expected of a girl that TADA likes.

>>7794832
Yep. Just in the middle of her quests. I am honestly surprised. She's cute and sad at the same time. Feels bad, man.

>>7794832
Yeah she had been getting some good development since 5D
TADA also likes Maria and she is one of the most developed heroine, sure is good to be liked by him.

Don't really care too much bout spoilers or anything, but how is Sachiko? Is she a good heroine?

>>7794865
Actually, she is. I've only done several events with her, but she's pretty good.

>>7794859
Not so much.

Kojika is one of TADA's three favorites. Before Rance saves her, she had one of the worst lives in Ranceverse. But maybe her headstrong attitude is what made TADA like her a lot.

So, could you reset skill points to rebuild character here?

>>7795193

There's a 20k gold item in the shop that resets your skill points.

who is the really hot blond women, does she get good sex seances.

>>7795492
Oh and im talking about the one right next to rance in ops picture, the one with the tits.Also how long of a game is it? longer than sengoku?

>>7794485
oh man i wish i could help, good luck!!

>>7795492
>>7795507
Well, it's a game that could probably last weeks. Especially due to the customization and character creation feature. The woman you're talking about is Alkanese. I would say that she's very cute. And I enjoyed her H-scenes. You just gotta understand the language though.

>>7795569
Thank you for the answers, i cant wait to see how she is. Dont want to bother you to much but, who is this? does she also have H-scenes?

>>7795569
Thank you for the answers, i cant wait to see how she is. Dont want to bother you to much but, who is this? does she also have H-scenes?

>>7794485
how were you able to get the script? i'd give it a shot of translating if i could access it

>>7795600
I think she has the "honour" of having the. . .first (or was that the second) scene? That's Adago the bar maiden. Not sure if she's recruitable, haven't gotten that far yet.

>>7795569
>it's a game that could probably last weeks

You are one amazingly delusional twit.

>>7795600
Atago Macat. She's the bar owner that Rance likes to tease this game.

So why is Sill still frozen? Wasn't the point of the quest to save her?

>>7795638
And? Of course it can last weeks. Don't tell me you play games 24 hours a day? Even the guy who cheated (cheat code, super level, high skill points) this game took him more than two days to finish the main story. And he still isn't finished clearing the game.

Now imagine people with lives playing this game and using zero cheat programs.

>>7795653
FUCK YOU

Spoiler/delete that shit, you piece of shit.

>>7795652
Does she have any anal h scenes, same with Alkanese?

>>7795665
I haven't finished the game yet. But you do get to fuck em. And Rance only anal-fucks select women.

>>7795658
That's why the biggest complaints on 2ch and EGS are that it's short and feels extremely unfinished right? Because there's too much to do and too much game.

Hooray for the English R/a/nce fanbase.

>>7795603
There are tools available. Rance 8 apparently uses the same engine as Rance 2, so you may use the same tools to extract the script.

http://www.mediafire.com/?bk69k3t2r2ncg5k

The readme inside should cover all your questions. Do note, however, that you must make the "txt" and "new" folders yourself. Those do not exist in the directory and the extractor will NOT work without them.

I'm not really trying to start a translation effort, I was just trying to practice some Japanese, but if you'd like, we can at least attempt translation on some of the menus, to make things slightly more convenient for everyone. I still have a problem with the lines though, so can't really do much about the story.

>>7795670
I don't know how long the game is or how close I am to the end, but I've already spent at least 20 hours which is long enough for me.

And I don't know about 2ch but there are only a handful of reviews on EGS and they don't all seem to harbour the complaints that you're mentioning.

>>7795670
oh lol it's this guy again...
everybody, just don't reply again to him
he has no idea what he's talking about half the time

>>7795569
>Alkanese
Isn't she a cutie? This gap moe, I slowly understand it now.

>>7795670

review sites accuracy are as unreliable as Saimoe

Damn, I lost it when Rance asked Bard to raise Matilda's level because it's not high enough to fuck.

fucking aten nu is just so lazy, keeps dropping out of my party and it;s impossible to unlearn that dropout skill

So did we ever find out what happened to Leila?

>>7796027

the game is being vague about it. The never outright say that she is dead, but she might as well be.

The Leazes queen is traveling around the world with her royal guards, but the one in command is Childy. According to the game that Childy is their current top royal guard, but apparently still not good as Leila yet.

Isn't it strange, though? A royal guard not being with the queen? who else do you protect in Leazes? She's the only royalty left. I mean, Maris, Rick and that no good ninja Kanami are with the queen.

>>7796041
I thought Childy was just a squad leader, whereas Leila was the commander.

what's all this about Leila?

was that torture scene in Sengoku actually canon or something?

I can confirm the first death in this game

All Kunoichi have a poison in their body that slowly kills them. This however also makes them immune to other poisons. Suzume reached her limit and died.

she comes back as a ghost

I can confirm the first death in this game

>>7796379
WHAT!!

does anyone know which the save data is?

I messed up with the skills so I want to start over.

>>7796426
on the main menu, click the small lower right button and then when it asks for confirmation just say yes

if you did it right, the game will do a soft rest

>>7796461

thank you, kind sir.

So.....

how is the ero?

>>7796521
about 1/4 in amount of sengoku rance

>>7796408

>>7796408

>>7796806
Is that her permanent form now? ;_;

>>7796883

I'm not done with game yet, but she can change her form. It's like Mori from Sengoku Rance if you remember that.

But apparently she can't have sex with Rance.. yet..

I mean.. not having a physical body and all

>>7796806
God damn it, you can't do this to me!

Sorry about the newfag, but there wouldn't happen to be a working text hooker for this?

>>7797180
check out the H code for AGTH in Hongfire, someone has posted it.

>>7796041
Does Julia appear? I should get to playing this already.

>>7796379
>>7796806
Give Quest number for confirmation.

Sooooooooo.... Any rule 34 of Lysette?
Even unfinished sketches?

>>7797275
It's Reset, stop calling her Lysette

>>7797291

FUCK YOU, MOM.
I DO WHAT I WANT.

Sexual thoughts about pure, innocent Reset are horrible.

I would never suggest removing Reset's clothes and licking her tiny body all over, nibbling her neck and kissing her adorable little nipples.

Only a heartless monster would think about her cute girlish mouth and tongue wrapped around a thick cock slick with her saliva, pumping in and out of her mouth until it erupts, the cum more than her little throat can swallow. The idea of semen overflowing, dribbling down her chin over her flat chest, her tiny hands scooping it all up and watching her suck it off her fingertips is just horrible.

You're all a bunch of sick perverts, thinking of spreading her legs, cock poised at the entrance to her pure, tight, virginal pussy, thrusting in, taking her cherry in one quick stroke, listening to her quickening breathing, her girlish moans and gasps, her flat chest rising and falling rapidly as she reaches her climax, hearing her cry out softly as she has her first orgasm and feels a man's cum flooding through her freshly-deflowered pussy for the first time.

You're all freaks. Reset's too pure for anyone to imagine her in such a terrible situation, and anyone who does is evil, evil, evil.

Anyone know what the credit card or 赤っぽい羽 do in shop?

>>7797272

Quest number 32

but why would you need the number?

>>7797344
So I can avoid it for as long as humanly possible.

Rance's reaction is actually pretty funny/creepy

Rance: You're pretty cute. I am sure you'll grow up to one hell of a woman.
Reset: Thanks dad
Rance: Who's your dad?
Reset: You are
Rance: Ffffffffffffffffffffffff! There's no way my daughter can be this cute. Why couldn't you be a boy? Or at least an ugly girl? I can't fuck my own daughter
Reset: So do you prefer ugly or cute?
Rance: Obviously cute!
Reset: Am I cute?
Rance: You are god damn cute, and that's the problem
Reset: Tee hee. I'm cute.
Rance: God damnit, I don't want you to be my daughter
Reset: How about I be your wife, then?
Rance: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFffffffffff!
Reset: [this face]

>>7797362
パーパ～～～

>>7796379
If all kunoichis die so young, how does the next generation of kunoichis come about if there's no one still alive from the previous generation to pass off genes, too?

Shouldn't a kunoichi, then, prioritize becoming a mother, first; warrior, second; upon realizing her life is about to expire in a few years time?

Mai waifu Kanami is soon going to die too!?!?!

>>7797385
No, she is a ninja. Not the same thing.
Kunoichi = assassin, Ninja = spy

>>7797385
I don't think Kanami was trained with the sex arts like Suzume was.

>>7797390
All kunoichi are ninja, but not all ninja are kunoichi

>>7796379
THIS just pissed me off.

>>7797347

you need to do the quest if you want Kanami

*remembers that no one loves Kanami

Isn't it sad?

>>7797405

>>7797385

>>7797334
>赤っぽい羽
You need that to recruit アールコート・Ｍ, she will appear at bar after few quests.

>>7797456
Thanks.

how do you finish quest 71?
it's that quest where you start off by talking to that cowtits girl

>>7797466
nevermind

Anyone know if Koppandon's fortune telling move is increased by anything like in Rance 6?

>>7797362
I bet Reset will have the same fate as that Kalar girl from Toushin Toshi 2. ;_;

What's the % for? I think it goes up with kills

>>7797362
>I can't fuck my own daughter
Hoh? This sounds interesting.

>>7797362

Oh god she has dem teeth!

>>7797375
They're made from kidnapped villagers.

WHAT

I figured he was at least mid-20s. Holy shitだす

>>7797878
With his face, I thought the dude was over 35.

>>7797862
Rance will make it happen.

How fucked are the level reset mechanisms for Rance?
Does he retain a certain amount of stat points, or does he start from scratch every single time?

>>7798085
I don't think Rance himself level resets. It's only the girls he fucks.

They start with +2 more skill points, they basically absorb their equipment into their initial stats. You have to do everything apart that over again. This is probably done to keep them on par with Rance, especially since even if you go level 99 with Rance, he will still level up to who knows where.

Besides, leveling up weak characters is easy fast.

Let them tag along Rance and strong characters, bring them to a high level place, easy level up.

>>7798096
>they absorb the equipment
Does this carry over to subsequent playthroughs, in the sense that it makes 'farming' for stats by having the character absorb unique high level equipment possible?
Also, how much playtime?
Thank you for replying, by the way

>>7798133
There's a new game + but I haven't gone there yet,

Apparently, the only things you keep are 30 percent of levels earned, all your money, equipment, etc.

>>7798133

only the TOP slot is absorbed

weapons, armor and accessory is not absorbed

how do you meet Satela?

Is this a text-based game? I don't see much art.

>>7798203
What the fuck?

>>7798203
It's just like other eroge....

>>7796379
you sure thats a thing that actually happens and you not just missing important triggers to avoid it?

Holy shit Reset is the cutest thing ever. She even has Rance's shark teeth.

Also, Suzume ;_;

>>7798604

Also for someone with such a powerful bgm, Pastel sure can be stupid.

So when is that 3D Rance game coming out?

is there a trick for quest 040 or am I overlooking something? I'm stuck in the upper right area and freeze to death before I can find anything...

>>7798680
Listen to whatever Kojika says. I saw a guide, but apparently, what Kojika says changes direction for some odd reason.

>>7798763
thanks

it's obvious Leila has been rapped and broken already

>>7798604
She is the cutest thing.

Also yeah...

I am the cutest
　 Tenshinhan

>>7797862
They'll be forced to in the next game or something. Just by saying that "he can't fuck his own daughter" opens up the door to an event like that.

>>7798604
I take it this shitty game doesn't let you H her either, right?

>>7796379
So, how does Rance react to Suzume's death?

And what does he do with Suzume's body, afterwords?

Does Suzume get buried or cremated by Rance, and if buried, is her final resting place unmarked or marked with a tombstone?

Well, at least, Suzume got to die being cradled in the arms of her beloved Rance, instead of some unknown battlefield. ;_;

>I really can't think of any better way to go than one last sex romp before you bid your final farewell to everyone, immediately after.

>>7800162
He didn't really explain any of the details
>>7798504
this might have happened for all we know

>>7796379
Can he still fuck her?

>>7799965
Rance has standards you know.

>>7798504
The endroll states that she dies too, even if you don't trigger the scene where she dies.

There doesn't seem to be a way to save her.

>>7801198
Well at least she wasn't rape by hundreds of demons until she breaks.

>>7801204
Speaking of which, does she appear in this game?

>>7798604
Still waiting for Dark Rance to encounter Reset and see what happens

Has Rance fucked a ghost girl yet?

>>7796379
Man. I never thought she'd die, even if they killed her.

>>7801317
It's fucked up.

>>7801198
Does the endroll say if anyone else croaks? (I hope not)
Please spoiler it so others won't see your reply.

but isn't being a ghost the same as never dying?
cause the ghost still sticks around..

>>7801317
Seriously. The only character in Sengoku that doesn't die no matter what except for Keikoku

I'll just leave this here

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8lGQ3uEsZ4

>>7801822
It's from the game ?

I beat the final quest by cheating because fuck that bs. Overall I would rate Rance Quest below Rance 6 and Sengoku. It's still okay, but there's quite a bit of problems, some that can be fixed by a patch and some that can't.

Btw here's a protip make Rance into a hammer user. That's one of the messed up things, a lvl2 swordsman is better off using non swords. Hammers are by far the best weapons because they can ignore the damage limit and Rance needs that to be able to utilize his 16 attack 1s end game. The higher inherit damage of hammers also makes his rance attack stronger. Otherwise the tradeoff would be whether you want more rance attacks or more attack 3s.

Also I just read the thread in 2ch and they discovered that there are templates that most characters are randomly set in that affects the costs of their skills. For example the all important guard skill that invalids damage can cost from 2 to 4 skill points... Naturally no one is happy to discover this.

>>7801934
I am using a hammer because I found a +3 at the beginning, now lost at the Kalar quest. My party doesn't like 300-450 AoE blizzard at all. I'm supposed to gather the red stars if I get it correctly, but I mostly get too much 5-enemies encountres during looking for them that I hardly have enough attacks for the fourth one.
Don't Hammers reduce aim though?

I'd also appreciate knowing which skill is which, but whatever. It makes Megadeth sort of hard to use without skills. Found the one that dramatically increases her damage, but that's still 9 arrows per quest. Prima on the other hand is awesome, but tends to slow me down and not finish bigger battles in time.

I cleared the game, it gives you a Suikoden style text epilogue for each participating final boss party member. It also shows the epilogue for a few randomly chosen non participating members.

Suzume


All Kunoichi have poison in their bodies that are slowly killing them. Suzume has reached her limit and she is aware of this. The topic first comes up during a mission with another Kunoichi. Suzume tells her that all Kunoichi live short lives, they rarely live past 20. They live to just follow their mission and then die. It's an empty life. But she tells Rance that since she met him, it has been fun.

Rance wonders what they can do about this. Suzume tells him not to worry because she will live up to 500 years. She is lying.

Once Suzume hits Lv.35 she insists on having sex with Rance, implying that she doesn't have much time left. She actually coughs blood during sex, but she was satisfied regardless. The next morning Rance learns that Suzume has died.

>>7802049




But Suzume still lingers on as a ghost. Exorcist girl tells Rance that Suzume still have lingering debts. Until she solves the issue, she will linger on, but they can't be too easygoing about it. If Suzume runs into a Devil(not Demon) she may become a tainted wraith.

One of Suzume's lingering debt is Kanami. Kanami sucks as a ninja, so Suzume decided to become her drill instructor and get Kanami up to the job. When things don't go as fast, she possesses Kanami's body and shows her how it is done. This actually opens up a new skill for Kanami called "pretend kunoichi" (+20% boost from Suzume's stats when in the same party)

Once Kanami reaches Lv. 35 she possesses Kanami again and shows her how to have Kunoichi style sex. Rance notices this and says that Kanami should just be Kanami. Don't try to be Suzume, at least when concerning sex. Suzume apologizes.

An hour after the final battle, the spirit of Suzume vanishes. She leaves a handwritten note on Rance's bed which reads "my life has been fun"

>>7802055
>"my life has been fun"

I am weeping like a little girl right now.

>>7801975
Oh, apparently I gave Megadeth a passive skill that increases encounters by 90%. I KNEW it's strange that it costs one skillpoint per star.

>>7802069
Hey guys... can we hug ?

>>7801934
Alicesoft has some good ideas in their game design, enough that they should just release some all-ages versions of them for cash and feed that money back into actually playtesting their fucking games.

ero is really holding back the potential of ergoe

Rance without ero, isn't Rance. Get that "all ages" shit out of here

>>7801934

Here's a hint:

You can warp to floor 10, 20 and 30 after you clear it, but you must fight at least 3 of the Kalar Queens

Rance's skills are fully recharged after each Queen battle

1st Queen: 2 Rance attacks and aid by your team members should make this easy

2nd Queen: Here's the trick.. it's actually easy with less team members. The Queen has an instant death curse which will kill anyone in one hit except for Rance. You can't be cursed twice.
Once again, remember that Rance's skills are fully recharged after this battle so go crazy.

Final Queen: She has auto regen. To counter it you need to poison her. Just do it once and it will last the entire battle. After a while she stops regenerating too.

Canonically killing off a popular character is so shitty. I just don't get the reason why 20 years old is the limit as opposed to say like 24, with 4 years as plenty of time for the Rance series to end. Were they afraid she is too much of a deus ex machina? Then have her fuck off back to Japan with some reason like the Iga head called her back or she went back for training or whatever and have her come back for rance 10 when super kunoichi skills are only useful for scouting demon army formations

20 years is also stupid as fuck anyway because was JAPAN in such a period of constant strife that it became necessary to train people that have a life efficency of like 5 years (assuming they are send out to start fighting at 15 since rance fucked the pupils at kunoichi school)..

>>7802100

Eroge doesn't sell much to began with.

Alicesoft's largest selling title in the past decade is Sengoku Rance which only sold 63K copies

For comparison, original Fate Stay Night sold about 150K, Clannad sold 180K, Super Robot Wars Z sold 500K

Recent Daiteikoku sold 27K and counting which is actually good, especially when compared to Key's Alive that sold 24K and Eushully Ikusa Megami that only sold 13K

>>7802214

I didn't know that Rance skills recharge but I knew about the warp. I just hex edited a few people to have unlimited health and attack 3s.

can we say bad end?

Sachiko Centers

She continued vigilantly to be a guardian for a while.. that is until her beloved shield broke and she lost her passion.

She married the son of a bakery owner and become a mother of 4 children



Lol.. I need to see if I can avoid this.

>>7802244
How much do console VNs and ports tend to sell? Thinking on this topic, it's pretty common for successful VNs to get console versions, and considering how well Alicesoft titles do it seems actually stranger for them to not go this route.

>>7802277
Ports usually sell pretty well. Little Busters EX sold about 90k across the PSP and PS2, and considering all they have to pay for is just to port it, they make a considerable profit.

I don't know how you think they could port a Rance game though considering all the rape and stuff.

>>7802049
>>7802055
fuck this shit

Kill off one of the best characters for shitty reasons

>>7802233
>They killed my favorite character. Boo hoo hoo. This game sucks now.

Kenshin.. it's typically Kenshin

Kenshin knows she will fight alongside with Rance in the future, but for now she will train to become even stronger. She is already a strong warrior, but no knows what the future will bring so she must be prepared.

Starting with 360 ongiri rice balls..

>>7802055
Actually...
I can't wait for when Kanami's entering quote in Rance 10 is Watch me, Suzume-sensei!

>>7802308

Oh hey, I thought all the trolls left already. Did you get lost?

Torako.. another LOL

Katsuko ended up marrying Torako's brother. Torako ends up living at Katsuko's house as a bothersome sister in law. It can't be helped, Katsuko is helpless alone!

>>7802049
>>7802055

>>7802327
I ALWAYS SAID THAT I WAS DOING MY BEST
BUT I WAS SLACKING OFF
CAN YOU EVER FORGIVE ME SUZUME SENSEI
I SWEAR I WILL GET BETTER FOR YOUR SAKE

>Kanami is not in Rance 9 due to intensive training in JAPAN
>Kanami comes to Rance 10 with a dog

Actually, I think that Kanami told the Suzume's ghost to fuck off and that's how the plotline ended, but...

>>7802346
Not sure if want.

>>7802327
Whoa, whoa slow down here, what about Rance 9 ?

>>7802055

tears why

Crook Mofs a.k.a exorcist girl

she continues her secret mission from AL Church to gather game "balance breakers". This hints that AL Chuch is really working for the Whale God

IIRC, Dark Sword Chaos is also in her possession. And previously she sealed Pastel Kalar's power-up armor

AL church is clearly something Rance will have to deal with soon.

Kanami is so cute.

Fuck off, Sill. You can stay .

Kanami is so cute.

Fuck off, Sill. You can stay ______.

>>7802386

Yeah she has Chaos now. But iirc, the whale god only interferes when it's time to wipe everything. I think she and her organization with the whole 'points and ranking' system is working for another god. Either way it's definitely a plot point for rance 10.

this is the last for now.. need to replay the game to see all the other character epilogues but I won't do it so soon

Arms Arc (new character)

She continued her life of monster hunting and became a legend

Her record boasts 7365 boss class monsters, 45 legendary item retrievals and she even killed one Demon.. (not sure who)

>Kanami lives and Suzume dies
FUCK THIS GAY EARTH

>>7802412

Let me re clarify, I mean that very, very few know he exists, and I would think certainly not a popular religion.

maybe one more random image

Things are heating up in the demon world. Satella here is actually on a mission to gather computer bugs (actual monsters in this world)

She needs to sabotage Capelis computers. Apparently they're developing a secret weapon of some kind

>>7802426

Since you didn't have it, I'll tell イージス's epilogue

IIRC, she eventually figures out that she's been deceived and returns back home. She doesn't take on revenge against Rance because that's Reset's job.

>>7802427

Go back to /a/

What's the max characters you can have in your party?

Rance 9 is officially Helman edition. Due next year according to TADA

main objectives

Fuck the Princess.


And do something about Sill.. who is still trapped in ice. Rance is told that the royal family of Helman might have the cure.

But this is actually a lie told by the queen of Leazes so Rance still has something to hope for.

Plus they're only major nation left to conquer so why not?

>>7802478

5

I defeated the last boss with this setup. Is there an easier way? perhaps..

What gets carried over on 2nd playthru?

btw, captcha really loves africa

>>7802484
Great, this means there'll be more Patton. He's the cutest burly fantasy Russian, so I am most pleased. I've yet to play Rance Quest though, better get to it.

As an aside, I now want to see Reset with a blue forehead gem. This would be the lewdest thing.

It does seem rather childish, but I don't even know if I want to play this game anymore after the revealations in this thread

>>7802484
I have a feeling finding the cure will involve visiting Ho Laga's tower. Rance will have to prepare his anus... or find someone else to send there.

>>7802515
...Why would you want to play this a second time? It's not like Sengoku Rance.

>>7802538

My personal opinion is to wait for some correction patches if you want to play for the game. The random character template is extremely obnoxious right now since it forces you to savescum and redo the quest when you get a shitty template. Other previous popular complaints were the lack of anything to restore skill points (yeah yeah there's the bar maid with a shitty single target skill which on uses) or to wait on a turn (without investing precious skill points and take up a skill slot). If you don't want to play because of the plot then welp. You might want to soldier through anyway or read a plot summary to know a little bit of history for rance 9 and 10. Though truth to be told, not much really happened in this one...

>>7802570

*which no one uses

>>7802538
Most people can't even read the runes and only care about the RPG part, besides you won't get events in between, you are just spoiled the endings. That's like saying that you play Rance for the story, but most people play it for the dialogue, writing and the gameplay. None of this is covered much in this thread, really. Some as interesting stuff as what was said here, concerning older charactes is there too, from what I had gotten so far.

>>7802570
I really REALLY think that the lack of a wait option is a good choice.
It would good to add a cheap Standby skill which you can fill up to twenty or so, but in the end of this game you will have the opportuinity to give one character 50 actions if you wish for it that much, anyway, and you will care more about the characters having the right attacks.

I actually think that the Increase Accuracy, Defensive stance and such skills are meant to be the Standby. Most of the support skills are bad overall, if you meant to actually use them for something they would slow you down in encounters, the character won't even get a second move half the times, but they cost 1 SP, so it's basically a Standby command at the beginning for characters like Megadeth or Sachiko who will only have a few attacks until lvl15.

>>7802611

The idea of waiting is not to pass turns needlessly though. It is for a situation where there's only one enemy left on their frontline with 15 hp and it's your strong attacker's turn but she only has attack 3s and killer attacks left. Ideally you don't want to waste those strong moves like that so you pass her turn and let someone else use their attack 1 to finish off the enemy.

>>7802570
And let me re clarify here also, by 'force' I mean forced to savescum if you want optimal characters. Certainly it is doable without the best templates for each of your character but it's depressing to find out their your Rance with a 2 skill point cost for fucking short swords is a result of randomness and not because he was set like that and other people have Rances that have the hammer skill cost 2 points. But that's a minor complaint compared to the healer and guard template variations.

>>7802538
There was an article in Ars Techinca that, while as dubious as any just-preformed research is, suggested that people find stories more "pleasurable" after having them spoiled.

The reason why M. Night Shamalyanadingdong is considered one of the worst hacks in Hollywood, and not the greatest director of all time, is because the ending isn't what matters, it's how you get there.

If you really read anything "for the story" you're really reading it for the journey, not the end, otherwise you might as well read the summary on wikipedia.

>>7802819
Basically, the characters need to drive the plot, not the plot drive the characters. Good characters work fine even if the plot is cliched, but bad characters cannot salvage even a good plot because there's no way to establish an emotional connection or investment in it.
I don't totally agree with it though. There are certain visceral reactions to jarring events that can be dulled if you know they're coming, but if they're well done, they'll still have impact, just perhaps not as much.

>>7802819
It's somewhat true. Sometimes I enjoy watching movies more when I watch them for a second time because when I read it for the first time I was so focused on the ending and everything that lead to it that I've missed some of the character interactions, scenes etc. For example I've enjoyed watching Red Line for a second time more because I was focusing on what was happening at the moment not wondering which secondary character will survive the race, and how will it end.

i'm in the middle regarding spoilers

I mean plots that are driven around certain spoilers can ruin it. An example might be in Knights of the old republic is You are the Revan

>>7803011
Seriously? That was somewhere between painfully stupid and blindingly obvious.

>>7802275
all my rage

are there patches out yet? i need me bugfixes for some not-so-minor bugs i've encountered.

Discovered that the wiki had a list of all the endings, spoiler alert of course:
http://guardtunnel.info/index.php?q=R0cDovL2FsaWNlLnhmdS5qcC93aWtpLmNnaT9wYWdlPSVCOCVFNSVDNiVGQyVDMy
VDQw%3D%3DaH

Just at a glance from the bottom some shocking discovery:
Lia is pregnant with Rance's kid, though that's probably not canonical or it will be something that happens after the series most likely.
Rizuna turns into a majin (!!). Might happen in Rance 9 or 10, I don't think a big event like this will just be in a block of text happening inbetween rance 8 and 9.

>>7803710
link it properly!

So after reading through the ED, besides the obvious suspects and major characters like Kanami, Magic, Reset, Crook etc, people who have a high chances of appearing again:

アームズ・アーク (Because she kills a Majin in her lifetime, I don't see anyone else outside of Rance and co. dropping the invincibility field to give her a chance to count this as her kill)
アールコート・M (Becomes a gunshi of Leazas so prob Rance 10)
アルカネーゼ・ライズ (hopefully man... I'm basing off of the fact that her ED doesn't say shit and that Rance needs a sidekick or two in rance 9)
ウィチタ・スケート (Part of Zeth army to fight against Maou)
チルディ・シャープ (Royal guard)

>>7803710
http://alice.xfu.jp/wiki.cgi?page=%B8%E5%C6%FC%C3%CC#p54
Also spoiler that shit about Rizna and Lia, faggot.

Wait why does the main heroine end up so fucked? Sachiko deserves to be Rance's fuck awesome guardian, not BAD END lackey.

Haaa... it seems that Suzume still dies if you don't H her... and that Sachiko doesn't have a second ending... feelsbadman.jpg

It seems that Lia gets pregnant if you H her.

>>7802275
Not really a bad end actually.

She wanted to be a beautiful bride, man.

RANCE'S ALLIES DIE AROUND HIM WHILE HE DOES NOTHING - THE GAME

Man, it's really going to come down to picking Sill or Miki, isn't it?

I say kill Miki. Fuck her demon king bullshit.

>>7797696
>They're made from kidnapped villagers.

I see, so, there never was any real cause for concern regarding the supply of kunoichi for the next generation of economic and political leaders to make use of in the Ranceverse.

I had mistakenly thought that all kunoichi were born kunoichi, and that such a position/job occupation in life could only be obtained through hereditary means in the Ranceverse.

Now, my next question is, what are the identities of these kidnappers responsible for raising the next generation of kunoichi?

Are these kidnappers, kunoichi, as well, and if so, does that mean there is some sort of quota among the kunoichi that, before they die due to the poison they have accumulated in their bodies for so long, they must ensure that they have successors, either by kidnapping young village girls or by finding interested apprentices?

And if these kidnappers are not kunoichi, then how did they ever acquire the knowledge necessary to transform ordinary village girls into full-time kunoichi?

>>7803992

Sachiko is not the main heroine of rance quest. That honor obviously belongs to Pastel and Reset.

still taking a lot of things from Kichikuou Rance, what's on the list for this game

>Satella
>Kaito
>Pastel
>Reset
>The ninja glue
>Kapara

>>7804043
that's what I'm talking about, oh nvm, Sills dead

>>7802672
You know you can switch abilities when not in battles, right?

By doing so, you can have weak attacks along with strong attacks.

the true heroine of rance series is Kanami

>>7804043

Actually.. the more I see it seems that the more obvious is that Capelis will have his way with Miki and become the next Demon King

Seriously, he makes a far better antagonist, he's basically the Majin version of Rance

>>7804013

It's not that surprising

She was giving that "Hmm.. maybe I should try making a baby too" look on her face after seeing Reset Kalar. She also got pregnant in Kichikuou in her ending

>>7804196

Okay.....??? In my example I didn't mention it but the strong attacker would've run out of attack 1 so thats why theres only attack 3 and killer attacks left. But of an even better concern would be healers who desperately need to skip a turn, especially in the start of a battle when everyone is already fully healed.

>>7804355
at that time when party still has full HP, you can just put atk 1 and put her in the back row, so her turn would just past and change back to healing when need it. It's a hassle indeed, but it works.

>>7803710
How did rizna became a majin?

>>7802100
>ero is really holding back the potential of ergoe

Idiot.

>>7804652
But the medium really could be so much more.

>>7802049
>>7802055
So, it's quite obvious to everyone that Rance is bothered by the fact of Suzume dying on him so soon in the future due to her poisoned body and that he wants to do something about it as soon as possible.

Now, my question is why does Suzume have to lie to Rance about the true status of her bodily condition?

Is Suzume so resigned to her fate to die young that she even gives up on finding ways or methods to overcome her body's poison?

Suzume should have just straight out told Rance that her body had just about reached about its limit and that she doesn't want to die, but to live even more years together with Rance.

Sadly, Suzume doesn't tell Rance anything until it's too late to save her, which is really foolish of her.

Magic and science can be pretty advanced in the Ranceverse. Rance could have helped Suzume acquire a cloned, unpoisoned body for her to transfer her memories and soul into or even have her go full cyborg, so why does Suzume just give in to her sad fate like this? ;_;

>>7804930
She doesn't want Rance to feel sad and worried even more. The first time she told that to him, he went ballistic that he was about to drop everything to save her.

>>7804930
Why are you bothering to tag only the names if your intent is to obviously spoiler everything about the surrounding situation?

>>7805819
This is /jp/. Land of the autists. Is that a serious question?

Dammit, TADA. Ever since Rance 6 with Feris, dude. Stop making us feel pain.

>>7804930
So you censor the names, but leave everything else intact, including the bits about the poison that anyone who has played Sengoku will pick up on? Good job.

Also,
1] She is resigned to her fate. Not everyone wants to be a cyborg or get a new body and the poison, which has been sitting in her system for a long time can't be cured sort of a full blood transfusion.

2] Rance went insane the last time she told him that.

>>7804930
She didn't want to spend the rest of her life with Rance dragging her all over looking for a cure that may or may not exist. She wanted to have fun. Thats just how she rolls.

And she didn't want to Rance to have yet another woman to worry about when he has plenty on his plate already.

you know.. Sill is going to see more than a few unfamiliar faces when she is thawed

Even Mori Teru got pregnant. She ends up taking the Mori house to the main continent and establish and underground crime empire.

Not sure I even still want to play this...

I seriously don't get this one

How? where? when? by whom?

Maybe this is just Alicesoft humor

Rizuna became a Demon. She becomes a dangerous existence that prays on men. Basically a succubus

>>7805885
Well, they do say that her sex drive was always above average.

>>7805885
I don't really care about Suzume but Rizna had been one of my favorite since 5D, fuck this since it spells bad end for her.
I hope nothing bad will happen to Maria, I should do Rance Quest already too.

See this guy? this is Demon Masuzoe.

He doesn't talk much at all and he doesn't like visitors. Strangely, when Rance comes to fight him he tells his attendant Haniko to let Rance pass.

The first thing you notice is that you can actually injure him despite him being a Demon and Rance not having Chaos with him.

Now Rance tried to do it earlier on another Demon and got his ass blown away. This seems to imply that Masuzoe suppressed his own protection field somehow.

Eventually Rance does kill him and he becomes a blood soul gem. Nearby Honey fight over it and one of them manages to swallow it thinking that it will become the next Demon.

Well it didn't turn out that way. The random Honey wasn't strong enough and Masuzoe took over the body. Again, Masuzoe doesn't say much and just hops away.

>>7805885
Maybe you will understand after you actually clear her events, like with Suzume.

Fucking Alicesoft.

>>7805918

current popular theory



Masuzoe is just bored with his life.. He's looking for someone to take his blood soul gem since that's the only way Demons can truly die.

Consider that Rizuna is very popular with Honeys and she's easily deceived.

It's possible that he will trick her into eating his blood soul gem. Maybe in Rance 9

>>7805885
I could accept Suzume's loss, but Rizna?
Is there any case where demon retains his/her human consciousness? I won't stand having to slash her with Chaos ;_;

>>7805947
Kotarou. Becoming a majin doesn't mean you become bad but I guess it release inhibitions.

Since she become a seductress I guess a GandhixRizna scene could happen in the form of reverse rape, they were pretty close in 6

>>7796379
fuck this
dropped

Getting emotionally invested in any of the characters in AliceSoft games is such a mindbogglingly silly idea I can't believe anyone who can't avoid it still plays their games.

>>7805947

there are two ways of becoming a Demon

1) The Demon King makes you one
2) You eat a defeated Demon's blood soul gem

In case of 2), there are another two possible outcomes

1) The blood soul gem is too strong and devours the soul of the host. Shown in this game. I think this is also what happened with Xavier and Nobunaga, albeit more gradually.

2) The original demon soul is overpowered and the new host becomes the new Demon. This happened in Rance 6 when Jeeg's blood soul was devoured by Camila's apostle

I feel bad, man. After starting Sengoku Rance and playing the rest of the Rance games, and loving the characters, this is just not cool.

get used to it.. something bad happens in every Rance game

>>7806043
The only character who got fucked over before that was Feris and she wasn't as important as Rizna

>>7806047
That's true. But Feris is like a recurring character. That was still bad, what happened.

don't forget the two exploding girls from Sengoku

or Kou Hime's gang rape

or Xavier being the best father ever

>>7806083

3 of those were minor characters that no one cared about
What happened to kouhime sucked but she survived and was relatively mentally unscarred by it atleast from our/Rance's eyes.

On the otherhand, Rizna and Miss X are fan favorites

>>7806120
I liked Kuro and Chinu though.

THIS BITCH
THIS FUCKING BITCH

>>7806760
Wow, I raged so hard I fucked up the image.
Speak for what an awful BITCH she is.
ONE DAY I COME AT YOU WITH A REAL PARTY ONE DAY

>>7805862

Rance is like Bhaal. His indescriminate sex drive is going to cause a war with his kids in the future.

Also, anyone want to talk about how Rance finally fucks Satella?

>>7804215
But Cyprus is not really similar to Rance, he's just a dick with a massive inferiority complex.

Also I wouldn't worry about Rizna much because being evil and attractive is a great combination for high life expectancies in Rance's world. Just look at Medusa, the average Hebi-san lives for 7-8 years and she's what, 4000?

>>7805862
What ? She's also impregnated by Rance ? They are another womans ?

>>7807098

No one really wants to mention or talk it about it, probably because it happens in a quest that's not even in part of the main series of events and it wasn't the result of some epic fight or struggle. It's overall a too anticlimatic of a happening for someone that was hard as hell to fuck in kichikuou rance.

>>7807576
Who gives a crap if it's anticlimactic?

And apparently, Leila is all safe and sound. After all, Rance was looking for her in Leazas like nothing was wrong at all.

>>7807743
>Who gives a crap if it's anticlimactic?

A lot of people. You realize TADA waited until Rance 3 for Rance to fuck Kanami proper, and he's waited 4 games for Satella.

Overall opinion I've seen of Rance Quest is it's disappointing and short...ofc it's not going to live up to Sengoku, but some things are just questionable.

Personal opinion but I feel SHADE booted the music in this one. I never got a groove for any of the tracks, even the new Glory.

I don't have any problem with the music, in fact some people even joked that his music was wasted on this half ass of a game. Pastel, Ero, the 2nd of 3 queens, and a few of the battle music are IMO pretty good.

>>7807099

according to Galzoo Island your average monster girl only has a lifespan of 7 years, so it's actually the norm

Medusa can live that long because she is a Demon. Demons don't can live forever

>>7808041
> Demons don't can live forever
>don't
>can
So which is it?

Rance 8 is one big side quest, but I expected that.

I feel like certain characters quests should be more integrated into the main plot

It has a lot of characters, but just like Suikoden a lot of them don't really have a good reason to be in this game this time.

I'm wondering if it can benefit from having less characters, but I guess there's not much to work with this time.

The game was developed alongside Rance 9 so I think this game was made primarily to set up the stage for the game (ie: Rance getting his own castle)

It succeeds in doing that, but at the same time I feel the game reveals a too much at certain points. did they really have to spoil Rizuna being a demon? couldn't they be more subtle?

I like the game, but to me it's like Ikusa Megami Verita all over again. You're exited to know what happens to such and such but the game tells you that no, we don't care how you feel, we tell the story our way. Enjoy your gracious amounts of time-skips.

Overall Rance 8 is certainly better than 5D but not as good as Rance 6. As said it's expected to be a huge sidequest, but I wish it could have been more cohesive.

Brain hiccup. Demons don't age. They can live forever.

well even if they screw up the rest of the series, a remake of Kichikuou would still save everything

demons can't live forever, demon kings cannot

Kichikuou and Sengoku are the best selling Rance games

Sengoku sold twice the amount of Rance 6

I think it shows that fans prefer the turn based strategy ones

If Rance 10 (last planned game) isn't a turn based strategy I am going to be very surprised

>>7808090

Rance 10 is probably going to be the canon Kichikuou.

>>7808097

What?

Wait I thought Rance 9 is going to be the last Rance game?

Why would they end the Rance series on a 1 digit number?

>>7808113
Who is Rance going to conquer in 10? By that time all the human countries are his.

>>7808327
Don't you know what happened at the end of Kichikuou? That will be what happens in Rance 10.

the demon world. Also, war with Whale God

>Get Karoria
>A guard
Huh...figured should would be a ranger like Suzume

>Medusa can live that long because she is a Demon.

And now so is Rizna, so she's a good point of comparison.

I don't think Rizna will turn into an antagonist.
Kentarou turned into a demon and didn't changed a bit.

Her ED is straight up saying she becomes bad.
