I like how Silbarrel is so ugly her genes are considered an existential threat to the world by Alicism. It's proclaimed with such a straight face too.

I'm starting to see what people mean by the grind. When you get the 20th new character joining at level 1, it does start to grate more than a little bit.

What is the point of "Adjust character data" in Alice's Mansion?

To answer my own question, "Talent" is indeed a shitty translation of "Growth rate". Now I have no idea what they translated "Growth rate R(are)" (成長率R) but I am sure it will be spectacularly stupid.

Still no idea what Cool(ness) and Sexi(ness) does. Probably nothing?

Also, u no news post RPG release? Infinitron WhiskeyWolf

They might have chosen the word Talent because of Character Limits in the small equipment text box

Custom Characters can get white skills that give them buffs if they fulfill a quota of Coolness/Sexiness on their gear, I can't remember the specifics because trying to gather a gear set that actually fulfills the quota is ass

Which sadistic prick designed the "Bomb Testing" quest?
Not enough you have to escort a lvl 2 NPC that can't die (everything 1-shots him), let's make all encounters a special type of mob that always attacks the lowest level enemy?

Lol, it's actually pretty easy to win. Crook has 3 revives (2x status restore, 1x full revive), so just res him after they kill him and you got Sachiko to guard the party. If Crook runs out, just use Sel, who also has these three revives.

I just realized that Status Restore is a revive...
But I beat it after 2 tries with both Sachiko and Kou (both with Initial Guard) in the party and Crook with full revive in case of bad luck.

Kinda absurd to have female bosses disappear either through Assassination or Rance's Dirty Talk

Mangagamer's Licensing Survey for 2021 has just gone up. Here's the link if anyone's interested

https://forms.gle/J4KeEWy8ur5ohEff8

It's a small questionnaire that can be done in under 5 minutes. The last questions are what titles you would like to see them license. At this point the unreleased Rance games seem inevitable - Rance IX/X have a slowly moving presence on their "Project Status" page - but if there's any other titles from Alicesoft you'd like seen (or any other titles in general) you can suggest them here. I think this is where they realized there was a market for a release like Evenicle. Also, you could just say Rance X to let them know there are people waiting on it.

It seems they've started editing IX, that's for sure. I think it was at 0% last time I checked. Maybe an autumn release?

Pretty sure Rance X has been stuck on 28% translation ever since they fired their translator, unless I'm misremembering the exact number?

The plot in the game is perhaps not very strong, but amn, it does deliver some lulz.
It also has it's fair share of feels. I'm close to meeting the "Dancer" in the forest mission. Not sure if I can take the moe.

I'm not that far in, but it reminds me a little bit of Mass Effect 2.
Weaker overall plot, but a lot of interesting smaller stories and characters to interact with. SO many characters from all the older Rance games

can't say I've ever had much interest in the generic epic rance plot (kingdom x is in turmoil, rance steps in, leaves with having fucked the conflict into resolution)
quest consisting of funny little episode would've been perfect, if the gameplay wasn't so annoying
