Not really, with almost each iteration of the game more and more of his belly is exposed, and most of the pauldrons are sitting elevated on his shoulders and open to the side begging the question why even bother with them, and younger rance had the sense to protect his hyper weapon.

That's just because the bigger the badass, the less armor he needs.

I know but why bother with them at all, armor looks cool when it mirrors real life examples and serves some functionality; hell the latest armor looks like the hood of a motorcycle.

TBH, it seems to also be due to Alicesoft's body proportion/angle -issue. In the more "combat" oriented scenes the breastplate teds to cover him all the way to gut, leaving only a thin slice visible. But yeah, it is interesting how the armor seems to almost intentionally shrink in some areas and expand in others as Rance ages. They are even consistent about it in the remakes.

But if we look at the female armor, then heh...

Kichikou Rance is more than 75% done! This last few weeks the pace has increased, at this rate it will be out by early fall. :bounce:

Rance Quest should be aproaching the 10% this week, and Ludo got a couple of guys to work in 5D and 6, so those might eventually be translated.

Also an offical patch was relesed for IX, seems like it adds a couple of playable characters.

Haba will probably back-stab everybody else, as he tried to do with Daiteikoku, by starting an LP before the patch was completed.

If no one else will LP it, I wil. But after I finish with 4.2 I'm taking a break. So whoever wants to do it (and it's commited to complete it) feel free to it.

Though I remember the game being hardish (or I was playing it wrong; I cheesed my way through most hard fights with Miki Bomb, wich can screw you up later) and with lot's of optional events and stuff, so you might want to wait for a complete guide or something (after beating the game once). I'm content with LPing the canon games.

Bullshit, I'm claiming X for myself. So no spoiling. Or else I will sharpen a babymeat stained machete with your name on it.

Man, I really need to continue my moonrunes study.

Btw, R5D is 28% done and picking pace, RVI just started (3%) and RQuest has reached 10%. And lastly KR is almost 85% done and should be out in August.


Brace yourselves, massive :incline: is coming!
