Is Kanami using her scarf as a napkin and bib?

>We have a lot to look forward to this year, from more entries in popular series, a title with a bit of a historical bent, something old, something new, something borrowed, and something BLue…?

Alicesoft Blue confirmed

New Alicesoft Blue game especially for the West.

Rance and Rick become gay lovers

> a title with a bit of a historical bent

SR?

Alfra was too young to know better though, to her this was just normal life. Kou started off with a peaceful happy family and had the pain and suffering of having that ripped away from her. Suffering is only meaningful if you have happiness as a point of reference, otherwise it's just normality.

It'd obviously be Arios and his childhood friend. No need to force straight people to become gay.

Probably an otome game.

Could be Shin Koihime.

>forcing Rance to become gay

>historical bent
Shin Koihime

Its historical and 99% of the characters are genderbent

It could also be whatever Senki Gold.

Reminder that Daiteikoku got 19th and Escalayer/Oyako Rankan got no mention.
Evenicle is impossible and if they don't pick Rance again, it'll be time to destroy Alicesoft's western reputation.

Was that thumbnail intentional?

That assumes that Alicesoft is interested or would be willing to have Daiteikoku released in the West.

They don't have to go with picks

if MG really wanted to do daiteikoku they would've spelled the name correctly

How embarrassing.

How does this work? Are these basically guaranteed if the company agrees? I really want Evenicle.

I hope that's how everyone who responded to the poll asked for the game.

They are simply "what people say they want". As to what gets licensed, or even what they attempt to go after, there is far more to consider.

Just what people want

Rick on the other hand is straight

Kek.

Must be some sort of KanColle spin-off. We were worried over nothing.

Do I get Sanakia as a party member if I keep doing the duel event again? Her friendship keeps going up but shes not in my party.

You get her through plot, that event only decides how high is her level when she joins you.

She joins later due to plot

One of the hints is Nan so could be Evenicle or Drapeko

If Sill is so bad why is Quest worst modern Rance game and not best? Checkmate, Sill-haters.

Magnum is a much better game than 01

Magnum is better than IX and 01.
Also, you can play KR without ever rescuing Sill.
Checkmate Sillfag.

>KR
>canon

King me

It being canon has nothing to do with the fact that it's one of the best if not the best games in the series and Sill can be left for dead

The hint sentence refers how Steam is the dominant platform though. Evenicle Steam edition?

The thing with Sill is that Sheila rendered her irrelevant.

>all-ages Evenicle

>King Me
I can't if you only bring irrelevant points to the table. Try harder.

The best way to get the Senran audience.

Ramius will become a girl who reads handholding magazines all day

>Eve is actually a pure maiden

Irrelevant is not the right word. Worthless is what you're looking for.

What is the point of Sedesu then?

Sup /rance/, I just finished Rance VI and Sengoku Rance.

Currently I'm planning to play Rance Quest, so I want to ask several things.
- Is there any guide/tips for it?
- Should I install the expansion Magnum too??
- Is this pastebin pastebin.com/77cw9X3R still relevant/can be use?
- Is there any english interface patch?

Thanks in advance.

>Should I install the expansion Magnum too??

By all means, yes

Don't bother playing if you don't know the language, stupid.

You've played 1-5+KR right?

Not installing Magnum is pointless.

Play the earlier games though imo.

And if you are going to machine translate may as well go with Rance 03 over Quest.

That said machine translations are shit and not recommended.

I will breakthrough it user. Language barrier will not stop me to sink deeply into Rance adventure stories.

Only Rance 4 left, as the rest I did them already. I hope they will make KR Remake.

I assume X will be the spiritual KR successor. KR itself is pretty timeless in my opinion and aged way better than the preceding games.

I already play the other rance series except Rance IV, which I'll waiting for the remake released.

So, the pastebin is still also relevant? No new updates for alicesoft magnum patch?

No new updates for Alicesoft Magnum patch.

So, is it worth playing the original Rance games or is it just worth it to play the digest newer versions? Will I miss anything?

Read the digests for I and II, play 03. After that I honestly found IV to be playable enough, but if you find it too old, watch the streams for it some user made earlier.
Don't bother with 4.1 and 4.2 unless you're a really big fan of the series, definitely play Kichikuou.

For Rance I you read the digest
For Rance II you read the digest or play the game (its 8 hours max)
Rance III you play.
Rance IV you play.
Rance 4.x who cares.

Alright thanks.

I just found UPDATE 2082 [Magnum only] from Hongfire, I guess I'll use that along with 2050 from pastebin.

That may not be compatible with the interface patch (though really at most it would just be Rick and Am's stuff that doesn't get translated in World 3 so go ahead)

Chances Alicesoft announces something this weekend? Or is it too soon after Maman?

Do you have try it user?
What about the modded patch from TADA? I'm kinda hesitate to install them too.

Who knows

I've never bothered with the interface patch because I don't need it.

As for the TADA patch it isn't needed.

How did you read the games when you clearly don't know English?

Not him, but I've met more than a few people who are able to read english mostly fine but can't write or speak in english for shit.

How do you know they actually understand what they're reading?

Imagination.

Talking is harder than reading. I'm like that with Japanese.

Yeah. Its much easier to read than to understand it spoken.

I have no idea why so many people claim eroge is easier to read if it is voiced.

What DOES she smell like?

Probably because they're familiar with spoken words and phrases and the voices only add an extra dimension to ease understanding?

Ninja in love with her male master

Anyone remember what the hardened poop does in Rance VI? You get it by fighting through all those red clouds of Ham Barbaras in the Cooperation Bank

Sill eats it

uesugi kenshin was raped to death after i defeated her uncle? what happened? wiki says that you're supposed to save and recruit her.
;_;

what happens if you agree with her uncle and take her as a slave?

you are supposed to kill the messenger and then take over uesugi in like 3 turns

Well you lost a warrior which is recoverable.

Its hardly restart the game stuff. Its not like you missed out on Urza or Natori

yeah in like 15 minutes im going to post a shit senhime

Gotta get those bad CGs so you can 100% the game.

The only way you could be that slow is if you were trying to see her get raped.

>Its not like you missed out on Urza
i didn't know what reinforcements were, so i picked useless stuff like 100 soldiers

i was just bad. thank you all for your help though.
i am honorbound to make things right and save her!

Restart

Can't be worse than my Kanami

oh, i will also never forgive myself for losing to that panda guy and getting the asai princess raped. so yeah, restart it is!

...

Just so you know (REAL SPOILERS AHEAD), she gets raped either way. There's an extended bad end for her where she turns into a mindless sex slave obsessed with getting revenge on Rance.

If you want to save her you have to recruit her dad and get his affection up from hate to normal in a few turns after you conquer their territory. Then you go search for her.

Only read the spoilers if you want to be spoiled.

user please
im the fag that posted the isoroku

;_;

I used to really be into Akihime but now I have played VI she just feels like an inferior Emi.

You're late.

I wonder if we can save her in Free To All route.

Why would you care about that bitch?

She does it for my dick

...

>an hour later

>謙信の献身
I love Japanese

>Alicesoft Valentines Blog post is for Tsumamigui and Heartful Maman

Is there a faster way to get orbs than grinding the nearby forest? So many events to do.

It takes like a minute unless you want the eagle orb

Unacceptable. It has to take 5 seconds at most.

Wouldn't be Mangagamer

>GREEN & PURPLE

match made in heaven, true OTP
