Yuki is best girl!

EMI A BEST

No, Caloria is.

Please don't become this type of thread

Is there any way to get back down to the museum after you drop and leave?

Later in the game I believe

Yes. Steal something else and drop down again.

Is the party you get at the end when Rick, Magic, Ghandi, Urza and Alex join you the final one till the end of the game?

Pretty much. Though it will be different at the post-game again.

Is post game purely gameplay related or is there story important stuff?

There's some story related things.

Plenty of lose ends story wise get closed off.

And Rance gets to fuck a whole bunch of girls he didn't do earlier

In game they never mention the age of characters who are below 18 though. Like in Quest where younger than 18 characters age on their profile is shown as 1X. They only ever tell ages for characters like that in a indirect way like from the info robot in 01.

What happens to Emi after the end of the game? Does she get killed or something?

So who will stick around post game? Don't want to waste presents and other items on characters that will leave anyway although I assume it's easy to get all those items anyway post game.

They do in manuals.

And hell from memory they definitely did for Milli Yorks in Quest.

She appears in Quest.

She and her father recognise that they were extremely wrong in the past and her father spends all their money building a theme park for all people of Zeth to enjoy.

Emi becomes an adventurer and joins your party in Quest. She has a special trait due to her masochism which means she is more likely to get targeted by enemy attacks and everytime she gets knocked out and you leave a dungeon she comes back with more health.

Basically the party members you had all game but not the special last dungeon guys like Rick, Gandhi, Urza and Alex

God fucking damn it, it really feels good having those guys in the party. Exactly like an end game party should look like.

After 6 i realized i really crave a dungeon crawler.

Not sure if want to play Quest again next or just go Might and Magic X

There is Etrian Odyssey too, if you have a ds or 3ds.

Thankfully there's a huge selection to choose from for that genre, though most are not nearly as forgiving as VI is.

I have a full "camp" now. Will I need to remove a person to fit a new one into my squad/camp?

No her age wasn't said. Just that Rance thought she was too young to fuck but then changed his mind. Of course many are obviously younger by their looks, but it's still never directly mentioned.

For the manuals of more recent games, no.

01 and Quest's ones have no character profile.
IX, 03 and SR's ones have character profiles but doesn't show ages.
VI's one has character profile with ages but none of the younger than 18 girls has a profile.

But like I said there is indirect info. IX's manual has a timeline of important Helman related events, including the birth of Sheila, so you could use it to calculate her age and learn she is younger than 18.

It happens automatically but if you can re-ad characters later.

Its easy to put Rance characters into Stranger in Sword City

I like how of all asshole ministers in VI, he is the only one that comes around, and the main reason being that he loves his daughter more than anything.

He's also the one that Rance wronged the most and somehow he makes it out alive.

Rance 6 sucks

I finished it and now I have to play rance quest without translations

I DONT GET THIS HANNY PUZZLE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

He got forgiven because he had a hot daughter.

Sounds like you liked it then

You could try 03 instead though.

>10-20 FPS: normal
I know this is an old game, but I can't believe they're calling 10 fps "normal".

>it sucked so i finished it and am moving onto the next game

Stockholm syndrome much?

It doesn't suck but it definitely isn't anything special gameplay wise. Just an ok game that becomes enjoyable because of Rance. The game has a ridiculous slow start though. The thing that annoyed me most is that you need orbs for events of all kinds. How often I went into a dungeon just to grind orbs, this shit fucking sucks so hard. Make orbs only mandatory for FR and to power units up and raise level limits and remove them for anything else and it would be far better.

Keep in mind this game is like 12 years old and Japan PC market isn't exactly swimming in power.

It's not an action game.

It's turn based RPG and a dungeon crawler where you move case by case. FPS isn't really important here.

Games were already pretty powerful in the year 2002.

Not too many on the eroge market except proto 3d devs. AS went above and beyond with VI's release. for it's time VI was pretty demanding for a eroge release

Why do you hate aru

Why do you persist with these worthless posts?

Can Rance do the capturing instead of Tamanagi and still get the CGs?

Obviously.

Yes.
I never used Tamanagi capture because I put him in the backrow.

I got rid of that weirdo immediately.

I check if he isn't dead often.
I like the scenes he has with Rance and is treated like a perv. Also the scene were he explains torture to Rance.

aw, no. cutie didn't deserve this

I'm pretty sure they specifically make a point about the fact that she did, in fact, deserve that.

She did actually. She actively supported the oppression and torture of second class citizens and helped those responsible every time

Considering she's still alive when most are being murdered on the spot she's, frankly, lucky. She openly oppressed 2nd class citizens. Brutally raped sucks but you can still live to see another day.

Plus it could have been Medusa invading.

>I find the H-scenes in Sengoku more enjoyable than other top Eroge at its time, says the most popular Eushully title like Kamidori
>Sengoku has better scenes than Kamidori.
Fuck, I wouldn't be here without /h/ recommending three games to me for good faps. They suggested SR, BBA, and Kamidori. The first two didn't do it for me, and now you're telling me that the third isn't good for fapping either.

Damn user, you've made my dick sad.

she was a good girl just doing her job

You want IX, 01, and 03.

Oh wait I just remembered she was that public safety officer, I kept thinking she was one of the girls on the Zeth beauty directory.

Yeah she is the guy who saved Saber Knight and his father all the time.

>he's read the manuals for 01, 03, VI, SR, and Quest
Translation when?

Yeah that doesn't really fly. She deserves it alone for the whole sabreknight business.

The Zeth nobles were actually crueler than Kamilla and her lot.

Like those bank scenes, which Cutie actively protected, were disturbing.

>tfw Pentagon was just a gang of pushovers after that cool introduction

So who has it worse and who deserved it more, Cutie or Elizabeth

I actually feel rather bad for the second

I dunno if I go that far. Kamilla and company literally just applied Zeth noble logic to all of humanity. Both sides really did the same thing, but the monsters just did it to everyone.

Anokia did nothing wrong

I felt bad for the latter.

She actively tried to do what she thought was right.

She got raped by Rance, that should've been enough punishment

besides, it's not like any of the public safety officers could refuse the nobles. there was only really two people in charge, Chizuko and Gandhi, who wanted 2nd class to be treated fairly. Everyone else in power actively wanted more harm to them.

She's not the kind of girl who would do wrong

>trying to bank on organizing a revolt with inept, illiterate second class citizens who are just going to collectively mob and loot in a state of panic for short term gain

Of course their plan was always going to fail.

She's directly responsible for the death of -at least- 20 2nd class citizens who potentially had families. Bitch is lucky she's alive at all. She deserves far worse than sexual trauma

They went full retard when they sacrificed like 90% of their organization for pointless acts of terrorism and going randomly after high position people to acquire the information about the location of the mana batteries.

How Nelson didn't immediately commit sudoku after Urza obtained the information in like 5 minutes is beyond me.

>she is the guy
Nope, she is most certainly not the guy

She's a cute girl, though.

A lot of the 2nd class are scum anyway from what we've seen during the riots. Not exactly their fault but if they were commuting crimes they deserved punishment.

Woah. Never used a single present and I just noticed that they've all disappeared from my inventory. Is there a limit on items or did I run into a bug?

Made it all the way to the start of Phase 2 of the liberation plan and just now noticed.

Their plan only failed due to Aurora though, so that claim is rather silly.

Being cute does not absolve you of your crimes. She's also scum since she actively defended a two serial murderers, who also enjoyed extensive sadism and rape.

>...but if they were commuting crimes they deserved punishment.

Wow just like Cutie got.

You just gave them to Kimchi

Sure you didn't do the give kimchi a present event?

They're scum because of how shit they were treated

Dumbest thing was how they basically sacrificed Foot, their most experienced soldier and the only one with proper military experience, to stop Rance from meeting Nelson when Nelson already had a plan to convince Rance to join him

No. It would have failed anyway. It just became more of a cluster fuck.

>only

Aurora devised the plan and made it worse but She certainly is not the only cause. They actually agreed to do it and didn't have a clue how inept 2nd class can be. Pentagon's plan was a ticking time bomb.

This is the sort of game you don't need more than 10 fps.

144hz+ advocate, but it really doesn't matter.in this case. The battles and menus should still run 60hz, so everything outside of the tile based dungeon movement will still feel responsive, and given the dungeon navigation is tile based, it doesn't need to be very responsive.

Ah, that makes sense. Somehow didn't make the connection that those were from the inventory.

Man they really burned their forces away like it's nothing. Sacrificing lots of troops seems to be a stable of the Rance series. I bet Rance X will have a population counter for the Hero to play a significant role both in the story and gameplay.

What hero?

Probably whoever is the current hero.

Kayblis

Not him, but aside from the lvl down grinding, Quest is a much more fun game overall, with hotter H-scenes, better CG quality and a really good OST, with tons of reference of Sengoku (best game).

Hope it's a completely new character and not someone we have already seen.

Cutie already had her punishment.

Like I said though, it's not like her or any of the other public safety officers could just start arresting every noble that did wrong. Almost the entirety of everyone in power were supporters for the class inequality. If you try to change that and aren't in a position of extreme power like Chizuko was, you will have a very bad time.

This.

The plot is very good and all, but the gameplay needed tons of polish.

Don't listen to him. Kamidori has great faps.

Is Doctor Rance the most handsome Rance in the entire series?

Eushully art is too generic for me. I don't find it hot at all.

Clearly she didn't.

Also self-preservation isn't an excuse. What she did was downright evil. She deserves what she got.

Just played VI for the first time and I prefer it to Sengoku to be honest

Bird, boys, Bird.

t.Mangashill

fuck off /vn/

Nice b8. VI gets only really interesting like 20-30 hours in. Before that it's just kinda bad and really boring.

>did the love Hanny festival with Shizuka
>they didn't even kiss
>can't redo it with Maria
; ;

? Both are arguably some of the strongest entities in the series. There's nothing wrong with one more than the other, especially considering how different both are. Different strokes for different folks. Their both highly enjoyable.
