If you're looking for a new years resolution this is another reason to learn Japanese

The King of Games that will never be translated



It is not about hating that useless slave, worst waifu person, but rather about providing closure to more than dozen characters with decades worth of story behind them. Ofc it's never gonna happen, but a man can dream.

I have a problem with Rance X. There is no way it could possibly live up to what I have hyped it up to be.

God damn Arunaru. Hope you are still laughing when you wake up tied to a PC in my dungeon one day... I'll make you translate all the shitty PC98 games I have lying around. 20-30 years of that should be enough penance for toying with my maiden's heart.

悪事 (akuji) means misdeed.

悪 generally means evil.
Actually his name means Yakuza (boss?). Evil department. Or it could be grabbed from Chinese, thus his name is "evil man who's issuing orders". This kanjis are actually identical in meaning in Japanese.

That moment when you realised that bunch of hentai strategy games have lore, character and gameplay deeper and better then most of AAA games these days. And RPGs too.

Definitely, and you don't have to worry about SJW nonsense being in them either. Western... everything really, is in decline and there won't be any incline for quite some time.

The generations of easily-offended athletes of the oppression olympics have absolutely no sense of humour. In a few decades we'll be having our homes raided for possessing copies of "problematic" games like Rance. Better enjoy now, before it is all too late.

Playing Kicho... Kao... Kichikuou for first time. (Of course I cheat to see wat I can do around) And Jesus Christ, it is a bit more complicated then Sengoku when it goes to routes and shit like that. I already fucked the rebelion, slowly fight my way with towns and try to get Chaos back. I use a bit of walkthrough, but nothing more.

Any tips to don't fuck up everything?

The Kichiku experience is fucking up everything for maximum despair and posting about it so we can feed on your tears as your waifus get destroyed.

Y-you can't save everyone? I REFUSE. I FUCKING REFUSE. I will do it! I WILL DO IT.

What I did so far:
- Built Hospital (I know this is important for some characters)
- Get Chaos back.
- Slowly getting Free Nations.
- Time to save girls from prison slowly ends so I will be forced to attack Helman soon.

I also remember about Hing that mage each 2 months and I learned about those lemons. Anything else for now? I don't fucked up anything yet (expect fucking merchant doll) so I think I'm still on true path.

Kichikuou's difficulty goes down a lot once you realize you can whittle down most enemies and that Miki is so abusable.

The route complexity IS going to fuck you at some point, just embrace that.

All right, JAPAN just fall. Sil and Soul are free, lost no one yet, aiming at Creator ending on my first run. Reading only few tips about Creator stage (how to get it) and only that. So pretty much I'm going blind into it.

Mars and zombies are fucking bad, harmless, but fucking bad in sense of attacking every turn and taking my fresh commanders. AL Church is mine, too. Rance is new pope.

So far everything seems good: Two demons killed (Styg and that lightning guy), Nobunaga died after I savescummed to find out his secret.

EDIT: Just allied with Only True Prince of Halman, he seems to be pretty bro. Besides, Rick like him and Rick is bro too.

There also is no 'true' path in Kichikuou.

Some routes require you to knock off Sill for instance plus some sex scenes require Rick or Cordoba to be dead.
Don't mind killing off Sill or Cordoba but killing Rick hurts

So TADA had a very brief update on the blog about Rance X.

Basically the reason there is no news about anything at all and there hasn't been any Rance World Notes updates and they didn't take any questions after Rance 03 was because he's spending all his time working on Rance X because he wants to complete it with no regrets.

Used to think 'hyper weapon' was an ironic translation, but it's actually ハイパー武器 in Wapanese.

He first calls his dick the hyper weapon after visiting the Hyper Building in Rance III/03 and deciding it was a good name
