Rance Series

[SuicideBunny]

Should only be a concern to the most autistic of people.

welcome to the dex.

 

[Raghar]

There is nothing wrong with autism, aside of obvious problems, and some physical body damage, which is often self-imposed.

 

[Haba]

There is nothing wrong with autism, but it is those god damn autistic people that are the problem!

 

[GarfunkeL]

Wait, so I need to get Kichikou Rance now? Translation coming tomorrow? Sweet!

 

[JoKa]

Who do I have to fellate to get a translation of Daiakuji as well? Not that I'm not grateful for the gift that is playing KR in English, but there's always room for more...

[Haba]

Waiting intensifies.



Rance is a man of infinite sides.

So no patch?

Also, how am I supposed to install KR? Because even with Applocale, the setup.exe refuses to run.

And I tried this trick:

the installation ran for a while but then failed and the game gives me a moonspeak error when I try to run it.

Applocale dio't work for all japanese programs. The way to make all of them work is go into Control Panel -> Region and Language -> Language for non-Unicode programs and select japanese there. Should work after restart, but it could cause issues with non japan programs. Still I didn't encountered anything serious after the years using it.

 

[GarfunkeL]

Bloody hell, how didn't I remember that? Installed nice and starts up, cheers.

Now, release the damn translation patch already!

Demon Lord Gai



Good job none the less!

 

[WhiskeyWolf]

It's Time.

 

[Haba]

Rebellion over at turn 4, like a boss.

Still got the 'ol magick

Though this game can be p. brutal if you fuck up.

 

[TheEntitledOne]

And I'm stuck playing KR in the dinning table with all my family around.

I hope it doesnt bother them to see a demon raping a woman with a snake dick...

That's dedication.

Tried it last night before bed. Works. Pillaged Vladivostok and fucked Sill. I read the game notes and it seems that, unlike Sengoku, I don't have a fixed number of action points but rather I can do certain actions each turn: 1 attack, 1 harem, 1 subordinate visit, etc. Did I get that right?

 

[Haba]

Yeah. You get to do many different things, but only once and only in one province.

 

[Average Manatee]

noice

Yeah. You get to do many different things, but only once and only in one province.

There are certain actions that end your turn or remove the rest of your other actions, so watch out.

 

[Gragt]

Gahahaha!

 

[Haba]

Guys?

...guys?

 

[TigerKnee]

Should have sent Kentarou to get his arse expanded you silly man

 

[Haba]

Man, I'd forgotten how positively overwhelming Kichikuou was. Even with prior knowledge, I'm having hard time keeping everyone alive and happy.

Spoiler

I rather like it that you can't have your cake and eat it. You have to make some tough choices, which will make block several characters from getting their happy ending and will also limit which character you'll be able to recruit. Not to mention that sometimes achieving individual happiness means hurting a great deal of people...

While I do miss some characters and changes in the "new canon", Kichikuou closes so many things with so much class. I kinda dread seeing X, since the harem is multitudes bigger... and there are so many more characters that really would deserve an individual ending route branch.

One thing I don't like tho is the constant micro. If you want to max out your gains, you'll have to constantly juggle items like happiness ring and popularity staff. And the fact that saves are always beginning of the turn. God, that makes me wish for save states.

 

[WhiskeyWolf]

Also some brutal waifu endings.

This, especially in your first playthrough when you are too weak to save all of them. Shit is brutal, yo.

Kichikuou feels more focused, direct... brutal. You can feel that people doing it had nothing to lose and decided to take it to another level. It's like "Sengoku Rance: Serious Business Edition™". Also...

Spoiler

Sill needs to stop getting herself into those Damsel-In-Distress situations.

Pisses me off.

I read the comments under the http://arunarutranslatescrap.wordpress.com/2014/09/13/kichikuou-rance-english-translation/ and apparently it's not actually a patch but the full game. Now I understand why I have System35 and System39, lulz.

One question, the levelling seems awfully slow, it's like I'm getting constantly 1 exp for battles when there is like 220 exp to the next level. Really?
