RIP Ludo

First for I'm happy that Rance is getting an official release.

MYDUSAE

>It should be Geel not Gele
I don't mind that Alicesoft made a minor spelling mistake, they already did so with Miracle.

Gele is still pronounced Jill courtesy of the 15 people I asked yesterday to crosscheck. It's just as outlandish as Aru bringing up Gillies as well

Geel >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Jill

>Gele is still pronounced Jill courtesy

Am I the only person reading it as geh-leh?

It feels weird to have threads ending this fast. I was already used to seeing the same OP for days.

>yfw seus colegas de turma gelam vc

I want to see a wordcloud for the last few threads

It is known that English does not have that many absolute pronunciations.

Most likely not, That's how you'd pronounce Gele in English. Australians are a little weird thanks to the native language though, so Gele/Geel is just Jill to us.

I read it like that up until very recently.

Plus it's just typical Australian pronounctiation. Just as Melbourne (like an hour from Geelong and 40 times the size) is pronounced Melb'n

It's an amusing justification but a pretty shit one

>Archfiend, Jill, Gele

I just fapped, user. Why u do this?

Considering Japs are probably more familiar with Australian English than other variants it's really not a stretch, and Gele regardless of exact pronunciation is fine.

Translating Jap names is always going to be an iffy affair due to the whole L R thing.

Japanese are far more familiar with American English.

slowpoke-chan is pretty cute.

>Why u do this?

Fuck off. And the picture isn't even sexual.

Swimsuits are sexual to me.

Wordcloud user didn't make it.

I'm fine with that justification, it's pretty clear that many of the regulars are Australians.

2

three.

I tried but gave up due to having to edit out so many words. If it's worth anything Demon appeared more than Archifiend but Jill appeared more than Gele

Yeah. I realized that I had miscounted.

I have yet another reason to hate Australians now.

Why? Don't like the banter?

There could be more but I know there are at least two over here in Perth (myself and some Saffer expat) and Lia bro (who I think is Emi bro as well) is in NSW.

I suspect there is a Victorian as well.

You guys shit up every place you go. Maybe I should post some lolis to get you arrested.

>mfw I masturbated to a lot of this guy's pieces.

Could someone give me and "explain this like i'm 30 and new here"?

This is a Secret Edgy Rape Club.

A what?

What are we supposed to explain? It's a video game. Go play it.

I don't understand.

>and Lia bro (who I think is Emi bro as well) is in NSW.
Confirming this.

What is it you want explained?

The games?

This whole Jill/Gele/Geel argument?

huehue

Nothing there deserves explaining.

>Leazas camping
>No Rick

Can't let this Emi edition die.

Looking forward to high resolution for her

He didn't even know Rick yet.

The interface only loads 4 at once, I'd add Rick and Barres if I could. But as it is it looks like Rance and Lia on a camping trip and I'm fine with that

Only 4 party members appear in the camp. It's random and then you have to push it around to position them.

We need a Leazas version of this.

Give me the background image and I can do it.

I just want three things in my life.
Cel, Maria, and Satella.

This game in general

Rance is an asshole that only wants sex and happens to save the world on the side. The plot gets relatively more serious in later entries.

The adventures of a sharktooth rapist and his harem in a world created by a massive whale with a despair fetish.

Something like this?

A fun hentai rpg series with a couple of strategy games (Kichikuou and Sengoku Rance).

Despite the fact that they are porn games they have pretty good story and gameplay which stands up against similar non-porn releases.

Originate in part as an hentai parody of typical jrpg games like Ys,
The Rance series has been around since the 80s.

Sengoku Rance is a good starting point to try out.

Yep

No, seriously. This is 100% accurate. We're not even joking.

That's good.

Did mankind originate in Nippon and expanded into The Continent with Fujiwara, or there were humans already in The Continent?

If the latter, was that done only to justify everyone speaking Japanese or at least using the Japanese script?

That's it. That's Rance

>Nippon

Stop using the newspeak.

Some JAPANese guy wrecked everyone so everyone speaks Japanese.

At some point in History a Japanese Emperor conquered humanity and Japanese became the official language for the Continent. Although there's clearly some English in there as well

Mankind originated like a 1000 years prior to Nippon/JAPAN. I suggest: alicesoft.wikia.com/wiki/History_of_The_Continent

To answer your question, everyone speak JAPANese/Nipponese in the games because Fujiwara conquered most of the human territories for some time and made mankind adopt it as the main language.

During the Nighcisa era, Fujiwara conquered most of humanity. He was also a natural Level Three swordsman.

Nighcisa was told to sort it out by the Gods so he sent his dog Xavier to do it and thus started Xavier's history with JAPAN.

It's why there are pockets of people with Japanese names on the continent - eg Shizuka.

JAPAN emperor fujiwara conquered about half the continent and standardized Japanese as the continent language. Because of Tenshism (religion causes huge problems for gods), gods ask the Demon King to murder him and stop him. DK sends Xavier. Then Xavier murdered brutalized JAPAN and eventually murders him, but is so exhausted Geppei (a devil) can seal Xavier.

Rance X info today?

Why?

Second last Friday in August.

So today or next Friday would be the most likely days for anything to get announced in August

I sure hope so, I think the timing of it is pretty good so there might be a chance.

I like seeing how the various clothing has evolved over time.

I wouldn't have hopes.

Emi > Aki

When would Alicesoft be most likely to announce a major game anyways? Comiket?

Comiket's already over.

There's a Winter one as well right? Would Alicesoft wait that long to announce something?

Comiket was last week, I think either this week or next week would be idea to announce Rance 10.

Not if they're planning on releasing Rance X this year. News -has- to come soon otherwise 2016 is a pipedream. They need some window to prepare everything for release.

Bretty good

I'd be worried if it took that long.

They have never announced a game at commiket

Late August is a good date to either announce more or to confirm a delay

I can make one announcement in regards to our football team.

While roster changes are for the general to decide, Archfiend Jill is probably going to be in the team.

Maybe for Buy Haruka

Kayblis with eight dicks when?

What's SHADE doing these days besides Rance-y stuff?

I believe he's making arranged CD's and developing his own VN engine.

Free lance

No involvement with Rance

He's doing freelance stuff here and there, I know he's going to do a remix of Majikoi's ost.

What is the roster?

Thanks for the info.

implyingrigged.info/wiki//hanny/_roster

What would be the best way to introduce myself to this?

Sengoku Rance

Translated. Download link is in the OP

Sengoku Rance is probably the best way to get into the series, it has solid gameplay and there's no real need to know previous events, at the worst you might not understand the relationships behind a few returning characters but it's nothing really you'll pick it up easily enough.

I like the existing roster

>when you remember that Ragnarokarc Super Gandhi's name is Ragnarokarc Super Gandhi

He always plays Iike shit for us

there's no justice in soccer so obviously he would

Should be sacked as a medal

Bring back Running to the straight as victory anthem

Also
>21% win record

Helman has a 100% win record

Don't want Rance to end.

Don't want series to continue forever and get shit/no closure.

Don't want original creators to die/leave and leave the story hanging/in the hands of Japanese Aru.

Fuck.

The new writer they got is quite good

Who is it? Based on what I read here, tori was the main writer and left after Sengoku. There is Puyo or Puro who did Mamatoto and was behind Patton in III. Also has a hard-on for him with IX.
