And what do you want instead? Demon King? Even though they're mostly not males and demons makes them sound like Feliss?
Levi Thompson
Devil champion
Austin Thomas
>Number of Male Demon Kings: 4 >Number of Female Demon Kings: 3 >Mostly not males Now, that aside, hadn't we already established that archfiend is a shitty translation? Demon King might not be the most accurate thing, but it's far better.

David Price
Demon King Little Princess is hilarious and it should never be changed.
Dylan Scott
It stops sounding dumb when you learn to naturally read Little Princess as if it was an actual name.
Isaac Miller
I don't have any problems with Archfiend, although I can see where the naysayers are coming from. "Demon" is an orthodox translation for Majin that has a lot of precedence, and, likewise, "Demon King" is the way that Maou is most commonly translated.
On the other hand, translating Majin as "fiend" isn't that strange when you consider that Dragon Quest has used Archfiend on numerous occasions, that Final Fantasy has translated Majin as "fiend" as well (see: IV), and that the Megami Tensei series has also translated Majin as "fiend" in every entry that's available in English without it coming off as unnatural or stilted.
>and demons makes them sound like Feliss?
This reminds me of something from Sengoku. Consider the following exchange:
It's yet another example of some of the egregious errors in the fan translation of VII. Rance accuses the Tenshi sect of being a religion of Akuma worshippers, to which Genri replies that Rance's statement is untrue and that sealing Majin is their main duty.
Takajun decided to translate both Akuma and Majin as "demon" in this exchange, which, technically, is not incorrect but completely misses the important distinction that two different words are being used.
Robert Powell
While we're on the topic how was the samurai talk でござる etc translated?
Ryder Thompson
Im confused, so Archfiend is demonking and fiends are just normal demons. Are devils still devils?
Dominic Young
As far as we know, Yes. Still a rather pointless change
Jayden Foster
Nevermind this mostly answers my questions
James Cox
Probably. We don't know if Aru will keep that name for them in the new translation.
Ryder Reyes
Devils for the moment is still Devils. I assume we'll find out in press releases of gameplay featuring feliss or when it finally drops
Brayden Williams
Demon/Archdemon
Joshua Edwards
From what I remember, the way the characters who used samurai talk was rendered into English was that they just tended to speak with fewer contractions/more formally. It wasn't really that noticeable unless you looked for it, compared to, say, the way Cyan Garamonde was translated in Final Fantasy VI.
Nathan Smith
Wow. And people think they're getting something close to the original game when they read fantranslations.
I wonder what the Kansai-ben will look like in 5D/VI
Sebastian Carter
It's usually translated as a southern drawl or something similar. Aru might handle it differently but I would still probably expect it somewhere within that.
Anthony Jenkins
I could see Arunaru calling them demons, I guess.
It's not incorrect in the colloquial use in the term as they serve the devil of the Ranceverse, but it makes things a shit ton more confusing for people who started with the fan translations.
Or, he could go hyper pretentious and call them the damned ones, but that's just silly.
Wyatt Williams
They should use a scottish accent. Aten making Copa speak in scottish was pretty good. Now I'm almost sure Aru totally used The Damned Ones
Wyatt Evans
When you say devil of the ranceverse do you mean devil as in the same type feliss is or something else.
Jack King
Sapphire a best
Andrew Robinson
He probably means Devil King Rathowm.
Aiden Russell
Oh, I thought the demon king and devils were completely seperate. I didnt know the demons served the devils.
Easton Scott
They don't.
Landon Adams
What?
Jacob Thompson
Oh he meant that devils might now be called demons which is why they serve the devil king. This nameshit is confusing.
Landon Allen
I meant the Devil King ... I don't want to guess how he will be localized. Rathaum?
But yeah, in colloquial use, it's demons that serve The Devil (Satan).
The analogy to the Devil here would be the Devil King in the Ranceverse. So, calling his minions (currently devils) demons wouldn't be wrong if you're translating based on colloquial English, disregarding historical definitions of the words.
Anthony Roberts
Well, you technically had the correct knowledge the first time and then went around guessing wrong after the name changes. That's why you don't make unnecessary changes.
Hunter Myers
A once way street to the magical world of "cold tits".
...
Which I guess some people would like seeing actually.
Jose Perry
I was joking when I suggested Arunaru might use the Damned Ones, but I'd much rather have that or pretty much anything for Feliss's race rather than demon.
Brandon Watson
Ludo-Rathowm -> Rudrathaum Rathowm ->Rathaum I assume.
Ryan Wilson
Rance is such a QT, will they ever create a male character cuter than rance.
Dylan Rogers
I don't really care about the Rathowm part, but I can't see that whale anymore without thinking Ludo.
Levi Walker
Rick when he's not all Red Death.
Blake Butler
Hold on. He could still call them Imps or Dickens.
Jayden Clark
Impossible.

So, if I counted correctly and no-one double-posted like a fag: -Garnet: 4 votes. -Sapphire: 5 votes. -Topaz: Everyone places 2 except 1 user.

>Kanami best Definitely. >Feliss goes d&d She's suffered enough already. >5D better SR Heh >Bad try Aru
Blake Richardson
Sapphire > Topaz > Garnet Garent looks great but she got almost no screen time and comes off as really flat.
Elijah Hernandez
I hope the Sapphire voters haven't played 03 and heard her cancer voice. God it was so annoying.
Juan Young
I loved it, although Topaz's voice is simply better.
Angel Turner
Apostle Emerald a best
Jack Reed
what am i in for
Thomas Gonzalez
a restart in like 2 turns
Daniel Perez
My first FFA was with Natori. After 4 turns I would never play it again for months.
Connor Cooper
I hope you're a tactical mastermind and the luckiest person to ever play Rance.
Cameron Lee
Whew, got the barrier to rank 9. Now to take over the world.
Henry Thompson
uhh...never mind.
Wyatt Morales
Is there something I'm supposed to do here? I seem to miss almost every single attack.
This is a lame ass fight if the gimmick is that you have to cross your fingers and hope you hit her
Kevin Sanders
Insult Shizuka and then give her the dick
She is pretty much the entire reason the Badmouth option is in the game
Andrew Bennett
I think it kills gal monsters too.
Gavin Edwards
>Pink: Keikoku >Dark Green: Maris >Light Green Shizuka >Dark blue: Lia >Light blue: Pastel >Blonde: Really hard but Milly >Purple: Kanami >Orange: Julia >Red: Satella >Brown: Anasel >Black: Miracle >Silver Arms >Violet Kamilla over Sen
Ian Richardson
huh, I just assumed that badmouth was a joke option since it doesn't really do anything for the rest of the game. thanks
Kevin Young

Rance III is but Rance 03 isn't bar one Kanami scene.
Carter Collins
03 is the best game in the series after VI/Sengoku. III is trash.
Angel Edwards
I liked III better than I, II, and IV
Jordan White
I wish I could play it but >learning japanese
Lincoln Anderson
SR>6>3
Kevin Perry
Are there any english sites that have info about Evenicle? I'm interested in knowing about its story, setting, and characters, among other things.
Bentley Nguyen
I guess i won. I guess. Maria is my favorite so im alright with this.
Chase Davis
No but I am happy to answer questions
I actually promised to do the Evenicle section on the wiki
Camden Peterson
Well this is our new soccer home ground
Adam Cooper
What is the name?
Carter Young
It's set in a world where if you have sex with someone other than your single married partner, or murder anyone, you get cursed. This means you can't produce anything, you can't grow crops etc. which basically forces you into a life of banditry and thievery to stay alive. The only exceptions are anointed knights, who are allowed to have more than 1 wife to spread their elite genes more, and kill people (so they can fight the bandits).
Note that you don't have to consent to the sex. If you get kidnapped and raped, you will also be cursed in this way, basically ruining your life. Of course, society doesn't accept or tolerate anyone with the black ring that shows it, so you are driven out of your home and rejected by everyone you once knew and loved.
