Probably have the Shizuka birthday edition next for the 30th

...

We have to reach 750 in just 5 days? That's too much for our dying state.

Only 150 posts a day. Not difficult.

Looks like word cloud user is definitely gone though

>well anons, i've probably got about 4 more wishes on the Monkey's Paw
what do you desire?
translations never so don't bother

That only works if you don't know that it works.

I'll do my part.

Back to the Rance IX summary

>Reminder that Sen is into shotas.

That shota shimazu brother can get her can't he?

I wonder how those scenes actually go down, I've never bothered to see them and I don't exactly want to go through an entire playthrough just to see how they go with the brothers.

TOO LEWD
Hot but not true. Rance sexual.

I'm probably going to get banned for posting this on a blue board

Place your bets.

Sen vs Hanny

So wait, sen goes in and murders a bunch of hannies in the middle of of a baby making session?

...

Maitreya deliberately aggravates the hannies to get them to attack Sen and Merci

...

...

Now time for Leila to disgrace Leazas

This is my current party.

As you can see I invested a fucking lot into making Shizuka durable.

And someone else bump because I don't think I can just yet

forgot to save my edits

Look how much better Leazas is compared to Helman

Red Death is looking cuter than usual.

Rovert should have been in the fifth army

lies. Rick is the cutest

Place your bets

Rolex v the Red Death

Has Leila ever won anything significant?

Xavier's semen

Definitely not this fight

Depends on your definition of significat. She's won a few fighting tournaments in Leazas and stuff like that.

A worthy victory over the Red Death by Cholochotov

not that we see any

Time for Kechak

She won the heart of Rick. Oh wait

No more headpats

I'll stop here for now and finish the chapter off tomorrow

Summary Pastebin
pastebin.com/Pks1Gryr

Now halfway through Chapter 6

>Maitreya has an item that prevents him from getting attacked by hannies
Has that always been a thing or did Maitrea pulled it out of his ass?

Probably some Mamatoto reference in how Maitrea could recruit a Hanny with a weird mask.

>8 people voted for him in the poll.

there is no accounting for taste

Starting with Sengoku Leila becomes kind of a joke character, constantly losing to stronger people, and generally being somewhat useless.

It's not like she was that strong earlier anyway.

Joke is wrong.

She's an established strongish character so she's useful in establishing other enemies (Kenshin and Rolex) as strong without having to have them fight Rick first

Thanks for doing this, I can't wait for the rest of the chapter.

Although her losing to Ithere in 03 becomes kinda funny when III just implies he took control of all the Royal Guards with mind control in one shot.

Her only achievement would be getting to Rance in one piece in IV, I think? She was one of the characters that Rance didn't need to look for, right?

Nope. Just Rick and Julia made it

Thanks. That makes me want to keep it up

In IV she was trapped in Atlanta's mirror. Really, SR is probably the game that shows the most competent Leila because she at least gives Kenshin a more decent fight than Rance in that game.

mainly because Rance decides he's too cool for actually fighting properly

Have an angry Feliss.

>Maris x Rick Stuff

I'll get to that eventually.

great work user.

Thanks for doing this

>Not Rance giving Rick a blowjob

Just no

Feliss is cute

After Rance 03 hopefully a new Feliss era has begun

...

The horns are so cute.

Thanks. Looks good.

I like seeing how she involved

*evolved

...

...

...

Kanami is fucking dead in this picture.

sasuga

So, can someone explain to me what happened with Rance 5A, 5B, 5C and 5D?

A, B and C were scrapped

they fucked up and scrapped them.

Bezeleye was going to be the heroine. Rocky was in concept

>A, B and C were scrapped
Why?

They were shit

>dying to a roller
As expected of Kanami.

Bezeleye is TADA's waifu and he didn't want you plebs fapping to her

I've got a question for the FFA Sengoku Rance guys. How long does your average FFA run take (in actual time, not turns)? What about for players who are totally new to it?

I'm thinking of trying to master FFA whenever I'm in desperate need of a break from my studies, but I'd be pretty bothered if each FFA run took me like 3 days or something.

Incidentally, how good is the wiki for tips on FFA? I've never followed it to the letter, but I've never had the best results with it.

...

>Bezeleye was going to be the heroine.
Are you serious or kidding? I didn't know that.

Really depends on the house you pick. Some of them require grinding the fuck out of your enemy forces and that could take ages if you're unlucky. I've never used the wiki for FFA myself.

I'm pretty sure it suffered a considerable development hell in part because they didn't know what direction to take after KR.

yeah she was

From last thread:

>Doesn't she tell you? Isn't it her dream to see 3,000 Cavarly units?
Decided to chase this one up. Pic related, she fucking tells you. Also, dumb note, I'm not sure if it's a translation thing or not, but the System Info screen says 'Trainer Mokko wants cavalry unit of 3000', which isn't true.

This one's got me thinking. What bonuses are 'acceptable' in the eyes of the more hardcore players? It's without doubt that any of the family bonuses are overpowered enough to trivialise the game, same for the Battle Permits and the +1 Fan. I'd also probably argue that taking ANY additional characters might be enough to push the early game unfairly in your favour (is that debatable?).

But what about the other bonuses? +3 NP isn't at all bad and +10,000 gold probably doesn't make any difference. What about the item bonuses? Aside from the Akashita Dog and maybe Rance's Love and the gold statues, none of them strike me as significant.

So, long story short, would anyone debate the following statement? "If you want SR to be at all difficult, the only bonuses that are acceptable are: +3 NP, +10,000 gold and any of the item bonuses aside from the Akashita Dog, Rance's Love and the Gold Statues."

>Did you not read the stuff at Alice's mansion?
I'm flicking through these again, nothing has stood out yet to say "SR was rushed or unfinished".

...

One of them was "lost in a natural disaster"

night lads. Stay alive

Mangagamer is gonna announce Rance 01, you heard it here first.

where does it say shes a shotacon?

It's Rance 5D + VI. But it will never get released because Maria, TADA and Arunaru will get into perpetual nameshit for all eternity.

Nah, they'll just rename demons again and strip out all the honorifics.

Aru included the honorifics in Haruka.

But not in KR or VI, it's pretty clear he doesn't want them.

Because it was super Japanese-y. Rance is western fantasy, so it wouldn't fit and all that.

Well that could just be MG requirements since their audience probably likes that, even if it makes no sense in English.

Hence why I think they will be included in a theorical Rance game released by MG, even if it doesn't make sense like points out.

She can be seduced by Shimazu Iehisa in SR as part of his events.

MG aren't that strict.

Maria keeps them in everything she translates, though

One of them would have to give and Aru's way too stubborn for it to be him.

>One of them would have to give
Not really, the one that translates it gets to choose unless it's orders from the top.

That depends, assuming MG brass want the titles to be consistent but don't really care how, it'd still be up to the translators.

You're all going to be disappointed.

I'm not expecting anything so I have nothing to be disappointed about.

I'm incapable of feeling hope and disappointment anymore

What if they announce Evenicle instead of a Rance game?
Would you be happy about it?

I wouldn't be thrilled at waiting longer for Rance, but at least it's a more gameplay centric AS title.

If not for Haruka and the stopped translations, I'd even accept Escalayer. I liked the anime. I just don't want it instead of Rance or another gameplay title right now.

We're not expecting anything, just arguing for the sake of avoiding page 10.

As a game? Probably one of the best things to bring over. Evenicle is really good.

To be frank Haruka was a good first choice by Alicesoft, it's a good game with lots of porn, no way it was going to do bad.
I don't think any Rance game except Sengoku will do as well as Haruka did.
