Upcoming
Rance 5D, Rance VI (ENG) - Winter, possibly 2016. High resolution, decensored $35 bundle from Mangagamer
It feels weird to have threads ending this fast. I was already used to seeing the same OP for days.

Benjamin Parker
I want to see a wordcloud for the last few threads
Kevin Murphy
It is known that English does not have that many absolute pronunciations.
Tyler Ross
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.
Logan Peterson
I read it like that up until very recently.
Charles Wilson
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
Ryder Moore
>Archfiend, Jill, Gele
Matthew Cooper
I just fapped, user. Why u do this?
Jace Hernandez
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.
Austin Anderson
Japanese are far more familiar with American English.
Cameron Flores
slowpoke-chan is pretty cute.
Cooper Evans
>Why u do this?
Fuck off. And the picture isn't even sexual.
Julian Turner
Swimsuits are sexual to me.
Tyler Morgan
Wordcloud user didn't make it.
Evan Edwards
I'm fine with that justification, it's pretty clear that many of the regulars are Australians.
Juan Powell
2
Landon Martinez
three.
Asher Powell
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
David Jones
Yeah. I realized that I had miscounted.
Gavin Carter
I have yet another reason to hate Australians now.
Jaxson Adams
Why? Don't like the banter?
Hudson Walker
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.
Jacob Williams
You guys shit up every place you go. Maybe I should post some lolis to get you arrested.
Benjamin King
>mfw I masturbated to a lot of this guy's pieces.
Jose Morales
Could someone give me and "explain this like i'm 30 and new here"?
Tyler Allen
This is a Secret Edgy Rape Club.
Henry Perry
A what?
Jaxon Peterson
What are we supposed to explain? It's a video game. Go play it.
Juan Evans
I don't understand.
Josiah Nguyen
>and Lia bro (who I think is Emi bro as well) is in NSW. Confirming this.
Adam Rodriguez
What is it you want explained?
The games?
This whole Jill/Gele/Geel argument?
James Garcia
huehue
Gavin Ross
Nothing there deserves explaining.
Landon Perez
>Leazas camping >No Rick
Cameron Gomez
Can't let this Emi edition die.
Looking forward to high resolution for her
Colton Torres
He didn't even know Rick yet.
Leo Murphy
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
Nathaniel Roberts
Only 4 party members appear in the camp. It's random and then you have to push it around to position them.
Wyatt Miller
We need a Leazas version of this.
Robert Perez
Give me the background image and I can do it.
Austin Robinson
I just want three things in my life. Cel, Maria, and Satella.
Logan Rodriguez
This game in general
Xavier Cooper
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.
Cameron Robinson
The adventures of a sharktooth rapist and his harem in a world created by a massive whale with a despair fetish.
Dominic Ramirez
Something like this?
Brayden Watson
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
Aaron Sanders
No, seriously. This is 100% accurate. We're not even joking.
Joshua Wilson
That's good.
Christian Long
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?
Aiden Long
That's it. That's Rance
Mason Powell
>Nippon
Stop using the newspeak.
Thomas Morgan
Some JAPANese guy wrecked everyone so everyone speaks Japanese.
Logan Butler
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
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.
Connor Nguyen
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.
Andrew Russell
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.
Brayden Smith
Rance X info today?
Bentley Jenkins
Why?
Landon Clark
Second last Friday in August.
So today or next Friday would be the most likely days for anything to get announced in August
Landon Brooks
I sure hope so, I think the timing of it is pretty good so there might be a chance.
Julian Bailey
I like seeing how the various clothing has evolved over time.
Luke Kelly
I wouldn't have hopes.
Nicholas Cook
Emi > Aki
Hudson Parker
When would Alicesoft be most likely to announce a major game anyways? Comiket?
Dylan Phillips
Comiket's already over.
Jeremiah Allen
There's a Winter one as well right? Would Alicesoft wait that long to announce something?
Ayden James
Comiket was last week, I think either this week or next week would be idea to announce Rance 10.
Jonathan Baker
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.
Joshua Ramirez
Bretty good
Joseph Perry
I'd be worried if it took that long.
Daniel Clark
They have never announced a game at commiket
Late August is a good date to either announce more or to confirm a delay
Gabriel Phillips
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
Andrew Lee
Kayblis with eight dicks when?
Austin Stewart
What's SHADE doing these days besides Rance-y stuff?
Cameron Jenkins
I believe he's making arranged CD's and developing his own VN engine.
Robert Turner
Free lance
No involvement with Rance
Austin Price
He's doing freelance stuff here and there, I know he's going to do a remix of Majikoi's ost.
What would be the best way to introduce myself to this?
Brody Smith
Sengoku Rance
Translated. Download link is in the OP
John Cook
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.
Joshua Bennett
I like the existing roster
Anthony Adams
>when you remember that Ragnarokarc Super Gandhi's name is Ragnarokarc Super Gandhi
Sebastian Young
He always plays Iike shit for us
Jeremiah Brown
there's no justice in soccer so obviously he would
Isaac Sanders
Should be sacked as a medal
Dominic Bennett
Bring back Running to the straight as victory anthem
Also >21% win record
Helman has a 100% win record
Leo Reed
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.
Xavier Robinson
The new writer they got is quite good
Joshua Diaz
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.
