First, because I'm Rougafag.

Last, because my penis is flaccid and I can't risk getting hard at the moment.

He thought that we wouldn't notice

Yes

It's good to know they're not mutually exclusive, I suppose. What weapon did she get from the calculator cube dungeon?

>RPG 3
What was RPG 1 and 2?

I think it´s called Ginkgo Blizzard.

Does the weapon have a backstory like Shizuka's staff?

No, I don´t think so.

Is Sill's canonically best spell ice or fire based?

It's her "On Ice Arrow".

Was that in Rance VI? I don't remember a spell called that.

It was a jest user

It should be Snow Laser although she was able to use Fire Laser in 02

Since SR she have been specializing in ice.

Compared with last week, this was a weak week for new info. Only monday had something new.

Did she cast ice spells in dungeons? I only remember her casting healing magic during army battles. I also doubt she cast a spell during her few moments of freedom in Rance Quest Magnum. From what I've heard, she barely appeared as a part of the Rance IX epilogue, so she probably wasn't shown in a combat situation in there either.

>Did she cast ice spells in dungeons?
She only cast fire spells.

Now I'm getting Ocarina of Time flashbacks. Hopefully Sill and Pill won't merge to make and ice/fire mage.

Evenicle is now fully translated and 94% edited, meanwhile Sengoku Rance is 20% translated, 10% edited and Quest is 23% translated to make up the news for Alicesoft games.

Sounds like a December release is possible for Evenicle, then.

Evenicle is 100% translated and 95% edited. It's likely to release this year, though not certain.

Sengoku is 20% translated, up by 10% from 2 weeks ago. First half of next year is likely.

Quest at 23% is a bit depressing since it was 20% last week, but ah well. I hoped ot would be a longer while before it slowed down. It's possible that it's just Maria having an inconsistent speed though.

I think it's likely, but not guaranteed. Rance 5D and VI came out mid-December right? I'd like to think Evenicle will release then, but I can't say for sure.

One guarantee is that I'm not going to be able to read it if it does get released in December. Kanji are a bitch, and not like Haruka.

I'm talking about the translation for Evenicle though, since the original came out 2 years ago. Unless I'm misunderstanding you.

Sorry, I meant I won't be able to read Evenicle without the translation if the translation is released in December since I won't be proficient enough in Japanese. Might as well read the translated version when it comes out.

Maria's reviewing Sorcery Jokers.

With so much editing done, is a December release at all unlikely? You'd think with them done in September, even a November release could be possible. Though VI was released early December right?

Arunaru did say 2017

Rance 5D+VI was released in December. I doubt it will be any sooner than December since they need to start testing after the text has been completely translated and edited.

If you consider the 21st or 22nd early.

Makes sense.

If SLC wasn't so reliable when it came to scripting AS games, next year would be more likely. He can do scripting in minimal time while scripting can take forever for other MG titles.

The testing period will probably be shorter than Rance VI's if only because they don't have to increase the resolution of the graphics, but Rance VI started testing earlier than Evenicle probably will.

I'm going to have to play Mamatoto one of these days.

Too bad user, nobody got your joke.

Good thing they took care of the ice fairy in Rance VI, or else she probably would have used her ice gun to make Sill's ice cube larger.

You really should. I just finished it, and while its age shows, it's still a good game, I still enjoyed the story. And the music.
And while I like some of IXs versions of music from Mamatoto, I think some of the original themes are much better.

The first thing on my agenda is learning Japanese, so it'll probably be a while before I play Mamatoto.

Nothing wrong with wanting to go through it in Japanese, I just didn't have the patience. Maybe one of these days I'll try learning Japanese though.

I can't even go through the opening text of a pokemon game without a dictionary, so I definitely don't have enough vocabulary or knowledge about Japanese grammar to play through something like Mamatoto.

Not him, but do you not know Mamatoto has a translation, or do you prefer not to use it? Nothing wrong with it of course, learning Japanese is a big commitment.

I feel that if I don't keep up learning Japanese, I'll either forget a whole bunch or lose interest again. So I'm trying to see if I can actually get it done this time.

I am learning why Kanji are so important though. Like 1/5 kanji I've seen so far have a shuu or shou meaning. What a ridiculous language.

It'll be 2017 as far as he knows, but I'm fairly certain he's no longer involved in Evenicle's translation whatsoever now. Hopefully he can correctly judge the speed at which his coworkers work and how quickly they can troubleshoot.

Does post Rance VI Feliss still have nice boots?

Probably

She has thigh highs in Quest

Japanese drawfag event today is equipment exchange.
So it can pretty much be anyone.

...

Yes.

RPG1 should be Rance Quest and RPG2 should be Evenicle.

Well Rance X would be one of them.

Hey Pi-R, do you or SLC have admin access for HannyBooru? It would be nice if we could clean the booru of CGs so a admin account that we could use to do so would be nice.

Also setting up doubles so that lets say Dark Lord, Fiend and Demon all search for the same thing to make tagging easier.

I'll see if I can get one from somewhere maybe.

That is one shitty looking face

Alias is also admin-protected too, is it? That's troublesome.

is the toushin toshi II remake on the 3DS significantly different from the original?

It has a whole new route.

No porn obviously.

SP in Rance 6 is pretty weird. Every dungeon in the game so far has been pretty easy combat-wise, with the only difficulty being SP drain. I'm not a big fan, honestly. It's like I'm being limited not by the strength of my characters but by am arbitrary, needless counter. I entered a new dungeon but had to stop exploring despite the majority of my characters having almost full HP simply because of SP drain. I get that's it's meant to force you to swap characters around but the end result is more just frequently leaving to regenerate SP while using the filled out map to skip already explored areas. Thoughts? I'm about 1/3 of the game according to the progress bar, does it change at all later in the game?

Once you get the full party its not an issue at all. And the way you are doing it makes you level up the characters a lot so you don't end up needing to grind.

is the original story still a route?

Yes

i agree, but as another user pointed out it is a necessary evil. the bosses during the end are not fucking around.

KANAMI

In short, yes but most of the core stuff is intact.

What it does change is it has a new route, a ton of voice acting, all the H is gone, some stuff was re-written like Suzuya, several redesigns, a few of the weird bad ends are gone like being able to kill Hadzuki in your practice, and some gameplay overhauls to make the game much easier than the original game. Also there's less dungeon travel, and the dungeons are quicker.

If you can play it, and you like the original, you'll probably enjoy it a lot. If nothing else you can just go into the mansion to hear the rare voiced Alice.

I like it, could just be your shit taste.

Poor Kentarou.

The Al Church has been conquered and we are now pretending to be Salbanot or whatever his name is. Ghandi joined us and we will soon be on our way to the four towers. We have a cooking competition coming up soon as well as a battle with Orochi.

No user. It's just that your way of seeing how good a figure is made is just as good as the shit i took a few hours ago

I've got grand figure taste user, what do you is good on a figure?

Allow me to reiterate since that last post was shit, what figures do you think look great?

Anything that doesn't look like that. Face isn't even close to the real deal. If you really need an example then the figma line of figures as well as good smile company scale figures.

He's so derpy jesus christ.

Figmas are pretty shit because they are so damn delicate, breaks too easily. To be fair to that figure, there are different versions of it, the other one may feature of more intricate face. I also wanted to tell if you were anti-Rougafag coming at me again or not, since he always finds a way to rebuke my opinions, his taste is pretty meh to me.

I just woke up and seriously don't know who you referring to

>Face isn't close
Not all good figurines are that intricate, I've looked at a few Shizuka, Kenshin, and Isoroku's that were a bit off too.

See, this user understands the flaws that come with some obscure series figures, even if it's not perfect, you still got to buy em, even if it's one of your waifu.

It's a good thing you don't.

Would you play a Sengoku knockoff that had an XP system instead of stat books?

Kenshin figma was close enough

I liked her nude figure.

>equipment exchange
What do they mean by that?

If you have to leave because you have too much HP but your SP drains too quickly then it simply means you're deploying too many characters. You have to leave early because you're wasting SP on more characters than needed to win fights, otherwise you wouldn't be at almost full HP.
TL;DR git gud.

By real deal, do you mean the types faces that she makes in the original game, or just the way her face was structured?

Senna practically always makes that dandy face, wouldn't feel right if she wasn't smiling.

I guess people wearing clothes or with the weapons of other characters?

Thumbs up.

Not yet

Yes, it is time.

...

yeah

He meant that you'd have to boot up windows xp in game and play a mini game to increase someones stats instead.

hot

The thing is leaving early isn't even a problem, because thanks to the map I can get back to where I was very quickly. Also, I have full HP because the enemies have pathetic strength and do like 10 damage whereas Sill heals 100, so some casual healing now and then puts me back at full HP.
>git gud
It's not even a problem of difficulty or anything, it's just kinda tedious. Kinda weird to say "git gud" when I'm absolutely fucking crushing every dungeon and boss.

Reminder that we have a match against /skg/ in just over eight hours.

Last time we played we beat them 9-1, this time is probably going to be a lot more even.

Not him but don't use a full party of six at this point in the game. Save six for bosses.

Is Bernard Rance's childhood friend?

The point is that you're doing your SP-resource management wrong, so git gud still aplies to you.

>we won 9-1
Link to the match?

Don't underestimate them. fgog did and lost.

I also attempted to make a Kichikuou version of Gandhi. Unfortunately male characters can't be made as easily as female characters.
