The English official version of was censored. I think because the publisher was also Japanese.
https://vndb.org/r84067
But I just noticed there was an unofficial de-censor patch. Maybe you used it.

Shogun and Sengoku -
This came up in the Shogun thread. For those that have or are watching Shogun but aren't as versed in the history of the Sengoku era:
Toranaga is Iyeasu Tokugawa - Tokugawa's nickname was "Old Raccoon"
Yabu is Honda Masanobu, who is a distant relative of Honda Tadakatsu. He's the weird Raccoon dog Tactician commander you fight in one of the set Tenshi Sect battles.
Mariko is Gracia, and her father is Akechi Mitsuhide.
Therefore, Kuroda, the lord that Akechi assassinates, is Nobunaga. Nobunaga meets his end by Akechi at Honnoji.
So Okiba no Kata is Nobunaga's daughter - although Okiba is (probably) not supposed to be Kouhime - in history Okiba is Kouhime's (Oichi's) daughter.
The Taiko is Toyotomi Hideyoshi, which is Tokichirou the Monkey.
Senhime is the daughter of Iyeasu's 3rd son and in history she marries Hideyori, the boy Prince in Shogun. However, with her death-wish and naginata fighting, she is pretty close to Mariko ^ ^
Blackthorne is kind of like Rance then, I guess?
As for other characters, many of them predate Nobunaga in the Sengoku period. Mori Motonari and Hojo Souun are very early in Sengoku, while Kenshin and Takeda Shingen are a little after them.
Geographically, Kanto and Edo are in the Hojo regions (Edo, Saitama and Kazusa 2000), which is where present day Tokyo is located (Tokyo is Edo). Osaka is in Naniwa province (between Yamato and Himeji).

Has anyone here played Only You? I need some tips on the ending.
I've reached the end of the timer and Karasuma one-shots me in the final fight. Then he quips that I should have learned the ultimate technique before facing him. What was I supposed to do to get a real ending? Grind to a certain level? Do the storylines of all girls?

There's normal end, happy end, perfect end (and even bara end)

Thanks!
I'm around the middle of Rance VI, playing it again this time with Tada's patch. It really takes away the tedium of farming for event orbs, making the game just so much smoother as an experience, perhaps I would do away with the automapper being far more lenient now (as it spoils map surprises sometimes).
Rance VI is still a great game, a pleasure to come back to.

It's a joke edit made by a random someone. "He's just like me" used to be popular with urban youths.what's this translation for chainsaw man? I just read that chapter literally yesterday and that's not what he says.-Yuuji Magami, do you notice anything about me?

I can't expect people to watch my shitty let's plays, I should make a written review.
Only You -Re Cross- is a 2001 dating sim released by AliceSoft. Written by Imam, illustrated by Mucchi, with the music composed by the legendary Shade. The game is a remake of a 1996 "Only You - The Decadent Juliettes", released for PC-98 and distributed exclusively among the AliceSoft fan club members. Only You 2001 features a rewritten storyline, two more dateable girls, revamped designs, and a host of other improvements.
The story of the game follows Yuuji Magami, a highschool student. Yuuji lives a happy life with a loving family and his two siblings - his younger sister Megumi, who *really* loves her brother, and his older brother Yuuichi. Three years ago Yuuichi won the title of the World's Strongest Man in a martial arts tournament, then disappeared for two years, and has been kinda off since his reappearance. Yuuji is a serious, virtuous, and straight-laced young man who is very committed to practicing martial arts and becoming as strong as his brother. After a few normal days where we are introduced to the main cast and get into various comedic hijinks, a mysterious brand in the shape of an inverted cross appears on Yuuji's left arm. The next day, an overwhelmingly powerful purple man by the name Ragou Karasuma appears and attempts to kill Yuuji. Yuuji is effortlessly overpowered, but Yuuichi comes to the rescue and chases Karasuma away. Later, when Yuuji returns home, he learns that Yuuichi hasn't come back yet. Yuuji runs across the town looking for his brother, finds traces of battle at the beach, but ultimately doesn't find either Karasuma or Yuuichi. Returning home, Yuuji is faced with a tragedy. His house is on fire, his parents' dead bodies are lying in the hallway, and then Yuuichi kills Megumi while taunting Yuuji and disappears in the flames. Immediately afterwards, Yuuji is attacked by an assassin and briefed on the plot. A giant dark spot has appeared in space beyond the solar system, and is rapidly moving toward Earth. Scientists can't identify it, but they found a particle trace connecting this entity with Yuuji. Thus the world government believes that Yuuji is summoning this entity, and have sent a quirky team of assassins to kill him. But because they are a quirky team of assassins from various nations, they don't work together and decide to go after Yuuji in their various individual manners. Yuuji swears revenge for his family and departs to train in solitude.
And that's the basic premise of the game. You have a finite amount of time to wander about town and get into scraps with assassins. In various locations you can run into girls and progress their storylines, which culminate in a fight with one of the assassin bosses. Each of the girls' storylines can have a good ending or one or more bad endings, typically achieved by acting like a scumbag, taking advantage of the girl's issues, or refusing to help. Getting a good ending will also offer an opportunity to confess your love to a girl/accept a girl's confession. Confessing to a girl when you already have a lover gets a bad ending for that girl - real men don't cheat. If you got at least one good ending and no bad endings - you can get the good ending for the game as a whole. If you got all good endings - you can get the perfect ending. Endings are also split between the love ending, if you confessed to someone, and True Man ending if you rejected all love.
In terms of gameplay, there are three basic modes of play here. Firstly, you have the Visual Novel aspect. When events happen, you get the typical visual novel dialogue boxes and can sometimes make choices. Secondly, there's combat. When you are in a fight you can choose three moves to make each turn, and enemy makes their three moves, and you keep going until one of you is dead. You can do special moves, but they take time from your global time counter. Unfortunately, the combat system is very mediocre. The basic punch is the best move in the game, and there's rarely ever a reason to use any other action. The only complication is that health is persistent until fights, so you might have to spend some time to rest and heal. Or die because you triggered a random encounter when low on health. The third and final mode is the overworld. You have a city map split into different areas, and you can move between them to see what's going on where. Different girls are in different locations at different times of the day, and moving place to place takes time, which is finite.
The meat of the game is in its writing, which is excellent. The game is funny, the information is well conveyed, and all characters are likeable and interesting. Even the side characters, like your best friend Wakato are pretty memorable. While we are here, let's talk about the girls.
* Akizuki is the first girl you are introduced to. She is Yuuji's childhood friend, although in the past few years they have been distant. Akizuki is a very stereotypical girly girl. She's nice, ditzy, and she cooks you HP-restoring lunches every other day. There's no real storyline with her, just nice casual romance and comedy surrounding her wacky parents. Akizuki is officially nice.
* Misaki is a sporty girl and a fellow martial artist. She has a crush on Yuuji. Misaki is an inheritor of her late father's martial arts dojo, and is struggling with confidence issues because at his deathbed her father wished he had a son. This drives Misaki into being mentored by Ragou Karasuma and another assassin into being a weapon against Yuuji, but she ultimately saves him from another assassin.
* Raimu is the blood unrelated siscon route. She's a young girl genius who for unexplained reason looks completely identical to the late Megumi. Raimu's story is about her being bullied in school for being weird. I'm not into little sisters, so Raimu is dead to me.
* Ayame is a blind girl Yuuji and his friend bump into during the prologue. After a few more random meetings Yuuji discovers that Ayame is struggling with a big problem - her alcoholic father has been pimping her out to his buddies to make money. Eventually Yuuji resolves this conflict and pays for an eye surgery, and Ayame confesses her love to him. I liked Ayame a lot and she was the girl that I picked as my romance.
* Moegi is a quirky shrine maiden, who is secretly an immortal guardian sealing a vengeful evil spirit of her mother inside a magic mirror. Thousands of years ago her mother was kidnaped and raped, and that's how Moegi was born. Moegi's mother went insane from the trauma, and when she suddenly gained magic powers she tried to destroy the world and Moegi was used to seal her. Now her mother is breaking out of the mirror, and you must help Moegi deal with her and survive the ordeal. Moegi is pretty cool.
* Mucha is a secret character you have to jump through hoops to meet. She's a Russian killer android whose creator helped her escape from the military. Mucha is on a quest to become human, though she's not sure how to go about it. She's being pursued by her younger sister who is still controlled by the government and forced to fight Mucha. Mucha is very fun and I liked her a lot. If I hadn't already confessed to Ayame by then, Mucha would have been my pick.
* Rin Reiran is the head of an assassin clan sent to kill Yuuji. However, she decides to deviate from this mission because she's bored and because her pet panther likes Yuuji. Reiran's story is about dealing with an ancient spirit haunting the Rin clan, and about helping Rin Reiran move past her warped upbringing as an assassin.
* Karuizawa is a girl from Osaka and Yuuji's classmate. If you didn't confess to anyone by the end of the game, Karuizawa will confess to you. She doesn't have a storyline, she just hangs out here and there. She likes riding her bycicle and plays tsukkomi to Akizuki's boke whenever they are together. I can't tell you much else about her.
There are two other major characters left.
The first is Ragou Karasuma, the purple man from the prologue. He's the primary antagonist of the game, taunting Yuuji in various encounters but often helping him too. Karasuma bears the second magic brand, and wants to kill Yuuji in a glorious battle. With the power of both brands he will then destroy the world, so you have to fight him. Karasuma is a fantastic character. For an antagonist martial artist he's fairly wise, and the game milks a lot of comedy from the contrast of this brick-like villain doing mundane things like eating mocchi or enjoying beauty. He has a good dynamic with Yuuji as a villainous mentor too.
The second is Tiger Joe, a tiger-headed man who appears to mentor Yuuji against Karasuma. Possessing a glorious musical theme and a grandiose presence, Tiger Joe guides Yuuji on behaving like a man and teaches you new moves when you level up. Tiger Joe is cool. The mystery of who he is is heavily implied in the endgame, and revealed in the True Man ending.
And that's about it. I heartily recommend Only You to everyone. "Stereotypical Dating Sim" has been a punching bag for western visual novel developers for years, but Only You shows what a dating sim can really be.

Being from Alicesoft, are there snu-snu scenes? I doubt it so in a PS2 game though.

Yes in the PC game. Consensual and sparse with the MC, non-consensual and also sparse featuring villains or the recurring park rapist. You can also watch porn with your best friend, like normal best friends do. Normally.
