Rance Series

[Red Eye]

Trial is out

 

[Red Eye]

Rance 03 is out now.

Looks like Alicesoft think

Spoiler

camwhoring is equivalent to get whored out to devils

 

[TheEntitledOne]

I have a huge backlog of stuff to do after a month abroad, but this is a priority. Gahahahaha.

Edit: Kanami is hillarious in this game. And they upped the moe in Sill.
Voices for the girls seem fine so far (Rance is not voiced except in combat).

Kanami's camwhore cosplay is great.

Game also comes with a scene editor.

 

[TigerKnee]

Alis

Leah

Are you going to use Lance and Sheiru now

 

[abnaxus]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Red Eye]

How do you even get Alis

I thought you were talking about the scene where Rance fucks Alice and Dark Alice cosplayers

 

[abnaxus]

I misremembered their names.

 

[Red Eye]

Introducing

Th poisonous monster of the mines

and

And Rovert Landstar

Alicesoft just don't give a fuck

 

[Red Eye]

Looks p. tasteful to me tbh

In the end it wasn't

They're really setting up Rick x Leila in a big way though.

Game is pretty good so far. I'm just up to Golden Hanny

 

[Haba]

The decline, the decline.

I am so triggered.

 

[TheEntitledOne]

I can't be arsed to read the gibberish ATLAS gives me since I already know the overall plot, but this is full of hillarious shit. And the segments with Tulip 3 are great.

I'm finding most of the voices spot on. Rance sounds exactly like the violent brute noble Prince Charming every blushing maiden dreams with.


Right now I'm stuck in a cave with a tentacle beast of shorts. I'm supposed to kill the beastie? To strong for me right now (or I'm using shit tactics).
Shizuka still hasn't returned to me. And I guess I'm supposed to pull the Hanny of Troy on Helman soon.

 

[Red Eye]

You have to kill all the tentacles in the cave before fighting the main body
Then uses Sill's fire attack and both of Feliss's magic attacks.

The problem is that Sill is probably under leveled because Hyper Building was the best grinding ground and because Sel is far more useful.

 

[Red Eye]

I'm triggered when Rance's waifus are raped by anyone other than Rance.

Doesn't happen in 03.

Though quite clearly Leila is not going to be Rance's girl now

Rick's a bro so that is fine

 

[TheEntitledOne]

Dealing with Toma now. Way stronger than in the original game. Tips on dealing with him? I guess backrow sniper skills are a must, any good ones?

 

[TigerKnee]

That reminds me

what's up with this from Rance IX

Spoiler

Because Rick is off having fun time adventures with Rance, Leazas is missing one of its strongest fighters.

Rolex decides its a good opportunity to attack Leazas and they try to bluff by dressing Leila up in Rick's armor to pretend he's still present. Of course, she's nowhere as good as him so she loses but when Rolex sees this, he retreats because no honor in beating women or whatever

 

[Red Eye]

That reminds me

what's up with this from Rance IX

Spoiler

Lia sends Rick to help with Rance and the rebellion.
Leazas doesn't want Helman to know that Rick isn't on the front line so Leila wears his armour.

Rolex dominates her in the fight.

Leila's established as a strong and high leveled level 1 swordsman so beating up on her is how they show that Rolex is ranked with the big boys like Kenshin, Rick and Rance

Dealing with Toma now. Way stronger than in the original game. Tips on dealing with him? I guess backrow sniper skills are a must, any good ones?

He doesn't attack you if there is a soldier in front of him.

So Sioux and Kanami and Sel

Canon Changes/Plot Summary for Rance 03 if anyone is interested

Also Julia's 'special' fighting style

 

[Deuce Traveler]

Just finished Kichikuou Rance for the second time. I really liked the game, but I still stand by the fact that you have to be patient and use a lot of trial and error in order to progress. The game has a lot of similarities with Sengoku Rance, but I actually found it to be easier than that later game if you know what you are doing. Sengoku Rance can still be brutal for the experienced player. Both games have incredible replay value for a lot of events change from game to game, and I found that there are still a bunch of secrets I have yet to discover.

I can see why this game wasn't canon, since Rance basically takes over the world, but so many elements were taken and changed to make Sengoku Rance, that it is obvious it had an impact on the game designers and that they had a lot of love for characters that transitioned over like Menad and Isoroko. If I had any gripe, it was that this game seemed to make it a mission to kill off one of my favorite early Rance characters, Milli Yorks, and in the most horrible ways. I really like Milli as a character and foil for Rance, and I wish they didn't decide to get rid of her. I think she would have made a great addition to Sengoku Rance.

If I do have a gripe, it is with the poor dungeon delving elements. I would have preferred to enter each dungeon with a party with separate stats, instead of with a single character backed by an army. Also, some of the dungeons went 100 levels down or more for what seems to be sheer lulz factor as most of it was empty space. Combat between armies is handled much better, and I like that making wrong story decisions had an impact on the game as you could isolate and drive away potential allies.

Anyway, a really good, but tough game that I recommend Rance fans to give a try. You can see the beginnings of Rance developing a bit more as a character, which would also be an element we would see more of in Sengoku Rance. Overall, I prefer Sengoku over Kichikuou, but this was a nice deviation while I wait for someone to finally translate the other friggin' games. I still have yet to play Rance 5D, Rance 6, Rance Quest, and Rance IX, but I plan to as they are fully translated.

 

[Deuce Traveler]

They are never going to be translated, maybe they work with VN Reader

https://rancetranslation.wordpress.com/2015/07/05/alicesoft-translations-go-legit/

So if you haven’t heard the news, MangaGamer has licensed Alicesoft’s Beat Blades Haruka for an official English language release (it’s being translated by Arunaru).

(Yes, I’ve been scheming this for years.)

So here’s what this means:
-Buy Haruka.
-The fan translations of Rance games currently in progress will not be released as fan translations anymore. We’d like them to be released officially!
-With MangaGamer we’ll be able to do actual professional work. Quality will be checked more thoroughly, there will be more thorough testing and support for issues, and we’ll actually be working with Alicesoft’s permission and blessing.
-All of the people who work legitimately on these games for MangaGamer (of 2.0 Translations, Vodka and SLC are involved with Haruka) will be paid for their work! (And will probably put in more effort because of it!)
-Obviously we want more Alicesoft games released officially, which means their first official English language release has to be a success for them to be interested in more, so buy Haruka!
-The more Haruka sells, the more Alicesoft will be interested in releasing their games in the western market, so buy Haruka!
-BUY HARUKA.

Tulip Goddess Maria

P.S. I’m going to keep working on 5D and Quest! I won’t release them unofficially, but I’d basically like to present them to MangaGamer as finished products when they’re done so that they can be released as soon as Alicesoft wants them to be. And that’s what’s really important, right? Alicesoft is releasing their games officially with MangaGamer now because they think they can be successful in the western market, so since we enjoy their games, we should let them know that we want them here and that they’ll be successful! So buy Haruka!!!

On his website he states he had 5D fully translated and Rance 8 at 48%,

 

[GarfunkeL]

No non-weeaboo will be able to navigate their site. it's atrocious.

 

[Red Eye]

Kichikuou Rance is great. My second favourite Rance game behind VI.

Shade (the old composer for the series) just made a remix of Rance's theme



He's not going to work in Rance X

Also Gyoukai drew apostle Shizuka

[TheEntitledOne]

Where is Oblivion 2 ? Kichikou Rance is basically Sengoku Rance 0.5, try that. Or do you mean a LP?

 

[WhiskeyWolf]
