Depends on when Mangagamer announce it. The great sales of Rance VI mean that it will happen at some point and probably sooner rather than later. As far as we know it is at least 70% translated.

Best route

I do wonder what sort of ends we might expect from X.

Alicesoft did say that it will be a game with a lot of replay value.

When did they say that?

Why is Gele theme so good?

So how successful was Rance VI compared to other titles for Mangagamer?
Like, was it blown-out-of-the-water good sales, or was it just "good sales" in regards to other titles they had released around the same time?

Because best girl.

VI has the record (since they kept records) of most weeks consecutive weeks from release as the top seller.

It dominated even without steam.

That seems pretty good, then.
I wonder how many people here actually bought it.

Most of us bought.

Well the core /haniho/ userbase at least.

I'm still waiting for a hardcopy.

how many unique IDs in the last thread?
you need to sell a lot of copies to pay for the translation

Time for the female guessing game, sorry I took so long by the way, I was banned from all generals for a couple of days after posting some spoilerd lewd Nakoruru images on /neog/

Its not a concern. VI sold really well.

blog.mangagamer.org/2017/01/06/2016-in-review/

Blown-out-of-water good sales probably. Keep in mind that Rance was only out for roughly a month before 2016 ended. And as said, it kept charting as the top seller for weeks in 2017 as well.

Alice, Rance, Sill, Kanami, Shizuka, Nagi, Copa, Rizna, Maris, Annis, Sheila, Kamilla, Blue Hanny
Miki, Selena, Alexander?, ?, Benett-sensei, Setsuna, ?, ?, Charme, Wendy, Arvy, Nalzgeis, Revenge-chan
Hatsune, Kanako, Akane, Naomi, ?, ?, ?, Tiger Joe, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?
Red Hanny, Manami, Makoto, Goddamn I forgot the name of the next two but I'm 100% sure they are from DALK Gaiden, Minka, Yume, Asami, ?, ?, Mistrene, FM77, TADA
That third row killed me.

Alice, Rance, Sill, Kanami, Shizuka, Nai, Copa, Rizna, Maris, Annis, Sheila, K-K-Kamilla, Blue Hanny

Little Princess, Raylee, Alexander, skip this entire row until Arvy, Abel, Revenge-chan
Hatsune, Hatsune's bitch, skip until Tiger Joe
Red Hanny and Hanny King.

Pretty sure that's Selena from TT2, not Raylee.

I wasnt able to because my cousin only set 15kg luggage on 1 person instead on both me and my mom. I thought it was 15kg for both of us. I would have bought alot more since Japan isnt that much strict since I was hand carrying already 9 kg with 10kg backpack which wasnt inspected, but too much would be too risky.

I was carrying Muvluv mechs by the time I found a Shizuka figure.

I went to Kotobukiya, Traders and Mandarake. I forgot which one has it.

>my mom.
toufu guy posting as user again

>MuvLuv mechs
They have any of the super sized ones?

No. just your regular non scale full actions.

oops meant for

Do you think she bullied Medusa before turning her into a Dark Lord?

Need art.

Probably.

What game is Benett-sensei from?

Pastel Chime and Pastel Chime Continue

I'm enjoying this toufu guy teasing but I'm concerned it may be dangerous.

>GL era
>Hebi-San galmons toy with any human they can get their hands on
>Since humans are easily bullied in this era, it's a good time to be a Hebi-san
>Working in groups, they capture a lot of humans, but only the strongest gets their pick of toys.
>Medusa, young Hebi-san as she is, never gets to bully humans, and gets bullied herself. Having a lot of pride, she leaves her sisters and strikes out on her own.
>The cunning Medusa commandeers a shrine to some dumb sea god that nobody cares about, wearing priestess robes to lure traveling humans in, seeking protection. She then assaults them in the night.
>Being violent in sex, and having no interest in men at all, she kills a lot of humans, intentionally or not. Rumors spread.
>Gele hears of this and visits the shrine herself, acting as a normal girl.
>Medusa welcomes her, and attempts to assault her in the night.
>Fails spectacularly, and Gele toys with the prideful and domineering hebi-san
>Rough Yuri demon sex ensues.
>Gele humiliates Medusa by forcing her own snake inside of her.
>Amused at breaking the wannabe dom, she turns Medusa into a Dark Lord, commanding her suck blood from her finger.
>Having had her fun, Gele leaves Medusa. Medusa finds her snake now fused to her.
>Frustrated at her loss, she returns to her sisters, putting herself at the top of the pecking order with her new snake penis
>Spends the rest of the GL era bullying humans.
>Never got to get back at Gele.

I would be a-okay with this flashback.

Hebi a great

...

i want to fuck satsu

...

Same.

not as hard as i remember it being

it turns out that the secret identity of takeda shingen is...!

Kaoru>any Rance girl
I am actually serious

>Kaoru>any Rance girl
this statement doesn't make any sense

all beautiful women belong to rance

TADA said that one problem he tended to have with games with a long development cycle is that he may start in one direction but as his mood and what he is interested would change during the process the game design would end up messy.

Because of that he now works on two projects of different types at the same time, and depending on how his mood is at a moment he can give a break to one and go work on the other.

The two types are:
A) A one way road game, where you finish comfortably
B) A game you can't completely clear without replaying a few times, the timing to finish depends on each person

Then TADA says Evenicle was one off the two, and Rance X will be the other type.

Evenicle is obviously type A, so Rance 10 is the type of game that you need to play through multiples times to get all.

...

I want a hannie plushie

I need a new pillow and my russian ammo crate pillow is not comfortable.

not quite weeb enough to get a waifu pillow

Is it impossible to recruit Miki in DHR? I have tried half a dozen times.

Yeah that fits my memory.

Use assassination or earthquake
It was an oversight on my part, fixed in the next version

Hyped

This was originally planned.

do we have a realase date for X?

I've heard that mentioned before. Wasn't that version supposed to be more of a dungeon crawler?

The SR/KR style is more fun for me.

I don't know I can't see Medusa as a bullying target like Kay-chan. She was probably a super alpha of her species, which is why Gele picked her to begin with.

It was meant to be like VI yes.
This

...

>The Helmans are not sending their best
>The Bareo Mountains just got ten feet higher

>Job Thief
As expected of Helman.

I could see it either way. Alpha beforehand or not, she probably wouldn't bow before Gele establishes a pecking order. Besides, this lets us include brutal yuri.

>pecking order

Demon King is the pecking order.

That's Rance's thieves though.

Which he recruited from Helman.

Are you retarded? Look again.

Rance thieves are based in Helman.

Most the people making up those armies are Helmanian.

fair point.

I....


what.

Tomato's pet mimic.

she is taking care of tomato's pet mimic and.... a return bonsai?

i remember some tree from 02.

To be released in 2017 was the last given date, I think? I don't remember if it was actually given a concrete season or timing.

If they can start showing screenshots, it's probably the game after Ixseal. From the looks of things, X might be released around October to December?

Wouldn't be surprised if it were Dec or even golden week 2018.

My thoughts too is that it might be early 2018, but they seem to be really trying to get it done by 2017, so it might just barely make it by December or something.

The last update was them doing playtesting and the like and Orion seems to be in a good place if he can draw a character from X every time he's in the Staff's Journel, so it might actually make it?

>bully bully bully bully bully

Why don't you use spoilers?

Not him but for Kanami bullying?

If he were doing actual spoilers I'd agree but Rance bullying Kanami is hardly a spoiler.

Guys wtf is this

"the missing stone" (???)

Oh I see, the the MT is so bad you want it spoilered.

Isn't that the cap-increasing seed? Don't waste it like I did.

fallen star??
sel is a good choice if you hit her level cap,
you should start with any character that can't unlock every skill first (bernard)

Save it for Sel

Who I wished was still relevant.

>i used to be an adventurer
>until i took an arrow to the knee

it acts differently? still fucked
maybe tomorrow

Not adventurer. He was a ranked (I guess he means one that was able to stay at the top 10 rank) Leazas coliseum fighter.

"The stardust that increases level cup by 5, sometimes ghastly dim shines. If Rance uses it, it's a waste."

Reminder that Bernard fought Noce in 03, Kamilla in VI and Am in Magnum.

Level cup! I guess it explains how Meg got such big breasts.

Did he?

Well, I rarely write in English, so... Hope I'm not misunderstood for "cap"

I was mad when I saw that MILF Satsu was still wearing her schoolgirl uniform.
I was expecting a business suit.

Nah we get you. The original poster wrote cup instead of cap though.

Meg's breasts are actually a balance breaker.

Thanks!

I have two now, I got one from the blue hanny course, no idea what the others would have been.

03 is fun, but the language barrier is hard sometimes.

working that devil to the bone

If I remember correctly, they drop from happy kyankyan.

Feliss bullying is cute.

OCR is great they said

to be fair the ocr is working really well here at reading off the runes

i'm not sure what it's supposed to say but i'm willing to be the translation is off

just a tad.

I'm making fun of it since it failed to read the Katakana

Yeah.
フェリス飛行
フェリヌ飛狩

All aboard the Fellis air service.

It also turned the kanji for go in the kanji for hunt

sapphire bullying is golden

hnnnng

I can forgive Kanji-reading errors (though those 2 don't even look alike) more than Katakana-reading errors.

Feliis Air

I rode Feliss

OCR works pretty well when there is a consistent background.

I see, it makes sense the image on the back of the card would interfere with it.
