If we ever get box version of Rance games here, I want it to look like this.
William Moore
Just wait for all the westernized names.
Justin Hill
Most of the names aren't Japanese names so it isn't an issue
Joshua Bennett
>Westernized names >In a series where a majority of the names are closer western nomenclature to begin with
Dominic Ortiz
I for one would love an English display of the names so we finally put to bed name shit. At least until Alicesoft changes them again.
Liam Walker
It happened in 03.
Julian Rogers
Yes, but not for everyone. I genuinely hope X has it so that can finally be put to bed.
Carson Scott
Where the hell is the picture on the right from?
Mason James
Alicesoft April Fools blog post
Justin Nguyen
I hope not. Most of those 03 names were terrible. If they're going to do it again they should consult with their official English partners this time so the names don't come out nonsense.
Benjamin Diaz
They weren't that different from what we already used.
Adam Baker
I'm not going to dredge up my copy or anything, but I remember them being b-movie quality takes on actual western-sounding names. Pretty much what you'd expect from a company with very few English speakers. (if they even have any)
Angel Peterson
...
Eli Moore
You'll have to elaborate here because I'm not sure I follow you.
Christopher Bennett
Trying to write western names, coming really close, and then failing utterly. Uncanny valley names.
Austin Sanchez
a lot of the names Alicesoft choose for non JAPANese characters are completely nonsensical and demonstrate that Alicesoft have no idea about English
Daniel Jackson
Again, I can't really think of any examples of what you're saying since most of the names were the same or really similar to what /haniho/ has always used.
Lucas Mitchell
...
Christian Smith
WHO!?
Ryan Rivera
Rance and Kanami were the same, pretty sure every other character was different.
Christian Nelson
I can only remember Lia, Leila and Suu being different.
Christopher Kelly

Chase Young
The fox girl in the sen tanuki doujin
William Campbell
Stay alive until 6 hours or so from now
Jack Jenkins
Kuh, what a bother.
Luis Perez
>not posting the best Rance girl.
Sebastian Baker
Maybe if you're into bestiality.
Dominic Robinson
user..
Leo Mitchell
Sorry I don't want to fuck dogs
Levi Wood
That's not the warrior of love and justice, the Level 3 Superhero, Pink Mask.
Jayden Foster
Mama tudo
Luke Thompson
What's with hot widows loving animals.
Justin Sanchez
sick
Elijah Hall
They feel that no man can replace their loved ones. Not one person is capable of that.
Joseph Diaz

Brody Garcia

Jayden Price
While that is completely true, her story had its cute moments. Especially her route's nice ending.
Brandon Brown
Wait, I thought that fox lady was from a different series altogether?
Nolan Smith
Yeah. That character image is from Toushin Toshi 3 which is where she is from
Ryan Nguyen
RANCE MUST FUCK HORNET AND TAKE HER VIRGINITY
Cameron Smith
Sorry but Kay-chan is getting revenge for VI
Brayden Robinson
...
Cameron Barnes
Uzra and Maris or Naoe Ai come to mind but we're getting the great man himself instead
Working fine for me, along with my pastebin as well.
Nathan Jackson
it works fine with other pastebins but with the massive Rance IX on it is glacial. It takes 15 seconds for letters I type to turn up.
Hudson Campbell
...
Owen Lewis
Maybe you should divide it in two parts or something.
Ayden Lopez
I don't even feel sorry for Maha to be honest. He's such an unlikeable cunt
Julian Barnes
Same, he was a lot more pitiable in the original Kichikuou.
Joshua Walker
I probably should. In any case I'll be on to the Sen sex scenes tomorrow plus Rolex crushing Leila
Hudson Lopez
I didn't know that was a female WanWan.
Carson Allen
Didn't play IX, but in KR i felt sorry for him.
Brayden Parker
In hindsight, KR is much darker than other Rance games that i've played until now.
Gavin Fisher
It's the dark depressing alternate history of Rance. Where Rance becoming king leads to Helmanic incest and the world's strongest man, Zeth being outright evil and kinda stupid, JAPAN being united by an evil demon Nobunaga (who actually became one kinda the same way as SR, now that I think about it) and Kayblis winning the war early on and screwing the Hornet faction.
Also, Kentarou got laid.
Jordan Johnson
>Zeth being outright evil. Kinda like in canon.
Lincoln Cook
JAPANese incest sex too.
Lincoln Morales
...
Ryan Richardson
Also Kanami's happy ending is with a literal who after killing Rance. To say absolutely nothing of characters' bad endings. Shit was grim.
Levi White
After the way Rance treated her in 4, I didn't find it difficult to believe that Kanami would slit Rance's throat if given the chance of a happy, normal life.
It's also why Shizuka's happy end is being a broken shell of a woman wandering the Continent after getting her revenge is believable too.
Asher Kelly
Galzooguy is posting new screenshots
Isaac Collins
He'll take that out on Silky
Tyler Murphy
If KR is anything to go by, he seems to have a much bigger grudge against Hornet.
Jacob Sanders
I just can't see them taking the girl who is the most obvious "prize" for Rance/the player and turning her into damaged goods before he even gets there.
Same with how Sheila had her entire druggie whore thing retconned by turning into "Oh but Stessel conveniently didn't start doing that until her maid took her place"
Ayden Hill
To be fair, Stessel didn't do it earlier because Sheila's age was changed for being younger.
Nolan Gonzalez
This is where Rance being an eroge is a blunder.
Henry Cook
GuyZoo releasing FriendZoo 2 is more likely than a GalZoo Island release.
MangaGamer releasing Rance IX is more likely at this point.
Luis Young
I'd take a FriendZoo Town 2
Ayden Martin

Levi Cox
I like them broken already.
Landon Robinson
Stessel has more sense than the Helman soldiers masturbating to loli Sheila, who knew.
Noah Bennett
I like it more when either A) It's just in a bad end or B) They get raped after Rance already had his turn like with Crook, then you save them later and the relationship gets deepened
