    Okay, this is strange. So I was looking up if there were some rumors about Daiteikoku's further translation and I stumbled on this very respectable thread - http://forums.fuwanovel.net/topic/6439-alicesoft-titles-translation-updates/

    If what I read there is true some guys - http://denwatls.bravejournal.com/index.php - are translating a Alicesoft non-Rance title, and are keeping it secret which title it actually is. They are currently at 75% after a year of work.

    I'm not sure what to think about this.

    It is most certainly not Daiteikoku.

    First option is good, the other one isn't something I'd use as the gender equality movement has become a platform for all manner of lewd behaviors.

    It's AliveZ and they're being really not smart about keeping it a secret to "avoid hype" because it's a terrible game that everyone hates. Their last translation also had a bunch of stuff that was just made up so I wouldn't expect much.

    The reason Daiteikoku isn't being translated by anyone is that it's an enormously long game that isn't that good. It doesn't really make sense for anyone to translate it for nothing.

    But it's not that good either. We're talking about months of hard work here.

    Look, I like it, but if I'm choosing from any possible game, the game with well over 4MB of text and giant design problems isn't really my top choice.

    Get Sengoku Rance and get ready to lose some time, as in days.

    Karwelas , what whiskey said. Sengoku Rance is the only Rance game that exceeds the series borders and is actually a great game. Frankly, it's miles away from any other Rance game.

    I'd add Rance VI to that list.

    88% I would expect it by September.

    5D is getting close too (76%) this one is a kinda weird game.

    Ask Arunaru - he's the person translating it.

    I just defeated Orochi after numerous tries for nearly 4 hours. Goddammit that crazy motherfucking snake.
    Guard thing that diviners have helped a lot at last try. and he used his super attack less at that time.
    That was intense!

    Rance 03 is getting voiced.

    Rance X is getting released as a collaboration with Square. Square is handling the graphics.

    Can't wait for Nomura to redesign Rance with his same-face model with belts and zippers

    You'll see it in the Final Fantasy Rance preorder bonus for the FF7 remake.

    Game lasts until you leave Midgar. Rance replaces Cloud.
