Rance Series

[Haba]

It just won't be the same. I've been waiting for the conclusion for more than ten years already.

 

[Red Eye]

God, I dread the release of Rance X. How will I be able to live without Rance in my life and my heart?

Rance X is going to finish the Rance timeline, but I don't think Alicesoft is going to entirely stop making Rance games or use the continuity in other ways.

I suspect they might try an make Evenicle a long running series

ITs almost not a problem , but is there any fonts I need to install for the transaltion of thoses various Rance game?

I remember i had to install some japanese fonts for an old Jap pc game that got tanslated. Problem I have is just a few symbol here and there, i think its mainly number , but *Japanese skill check fail* what do I know?

its clearly not stopping me from stomping over everyone honor , cutting diplomats head off and Gahahaha-ing any one worth of Rance attention

Still would love To see it all in english. anyone got tips for me?

Make your non-unicode language Japanese (in control panel).

For the Rance I to KR translations (and the digests) I don't think you'll need it.

 

[TigerKnee]

Just for the record, even if you set your unicode to Japanese (which you should, because not doing it causes problems down the line), there are a bunch of names in Sengoku Rance that are left untranslated, mostly the generic characters.

Supposedly it was because they crashed the game when changed and instead of agonizing over fixing generic names that you won't care about past 1 battle, they just left it in.

Translated OP

 

[TheEntitledOne]

Yey.

 

[TigerKnee]

Where is the Kichikuou LP you slacker?

 

[TheEntitledOne]

I'm not planning to LP KR any time soon, sorry.

 

[Absalom]

I'm not planning to LP KR any time soon, sorry.

Why do you have to be so selfish?

 

[TheEntitledOne]

Dunno, I would rather do something shorter and more linear, like "Muhammad Sex Simulator 2015".

[Cyberarmy]

Which Rance game is that? I guess its after Sengoku since Kouhime and Mouri Teru is there.

"Nothing Human Humanoid"

 

[Haba]

Rance Quest (Magnum)

 

[da_rays]

Look awesome. How is the soundtrack? Guessing thats not the complete translation. Last time ive check it was around 30%~

Does it play like a DQ game with Rance for main hero?

 

[Red Eye]

Rance Quest has the annoying limited moves mechanics.

And a massive party with only the characters you use getting experience- in VI the characters you don't use in battle still get experience so they don't fall behind level wise. Quest has twice as many characters but without that mechanic or a really engaging storyline. In the moorun curse mechanic was horrible in Quest

Magnum makes it a pretty fun game though. The limited moves mechanic and moorun curse are fixed plus we get an actual plot

 

[da_rays]

Neat~ Just got myself on Magnum with a pseudo translation. Quests are nice , but Magnum , muchos better like Red eye said earlier. Anyone tried any ( or some ) of the Rance game with ITH and translation aggregator? ~ Understanding Rance = 90% of the game's fun



PS: heh , just looked at my steam library....most shit is un appealing . Why da fuck am I enjoying more playing Ero-game than any decent RPG made in the lasts years? -_-

EDIT: Finally understood how to get ITH and TA to work with Rance Quest. My , ho my , what crappy translation it give , but at least i can read through anything the game throw at me.

Rance is made up of monocle'd oldfags who grew up in the earlier days of CRPGs.

After Sengoku I got an itch for more Rance, I got Rance IV, what's the consensus about it?

Have you played III?

III and IV are decent enough if you're fine with old school RPGs (early 90s).

And they keep the good humour.

The battle system for III is pretty shit and make sure you have the most recent English patch because it fixes the Feliss bug.

IV fixes the III battle system.

Rance #7 on most requested...?!

 

[Red Eye]

Will never happen.

 

[Haba]

Well, the lady translating RQM is working for Mangagamer... But licensing Rance would take some massive balls this day and age. The outrage would provide massive free publicity though, heh.

They don't have the money to convince Alicesoft.

 

[TigerKnee]

Years ago, some company actually did try (probably JAST?) and Alicesoft said no.

Still, things change, maybe they'll go for it one day.

That being said - Mangagamer is localizing Euphoria right now, and that game is WAY darker than Rance games ever was.
