Rance Series

[Zeriel]

Exposing Rance to little school children can only result in lulz.

The new Rance 9 site is on with lots of stuff, like a teaser (need proxy, can I post them here?).

 

[Haba]

My hyper weapon, it is... it is SOARING!

Spoiler

I don't like the fact that Rance has gotten himself a new servant

 

[TheEntitledOne]

Spring release.

And another Toushin Toshi seems to be involved.

I hope the coolest girl is back to not being so cool in this game.

 

[TheEntitledOne]

Seems like it will have a love system of shorts for the 7 main heroines. Different endings maybe?

 

[TigerKnee]

Helman is basically Russia and there's a new girl named Russia. Brilliant.

 

[laclongquan]

A Russian girl without blond hairs and big titties? What heresy!

 

[Haba]

Russians are not blond. Not unless you bleach them...

 

[JoKa]

Well, that map shows that there's quite a lot of them in Russia so your point is?
(At least in the European part of it...)

But of course you're right that it's strange the cliché of Russian women being blonde in Japanese mangas is so widely spread, considering most of the country has mainly Asian features.

On topic: I didn't have a chance to look at the Rance IX site yet, but what i can see from the trailer and screens it reminds me of Rance VI the most, with the globes in the romance-screen and whatnot

You know, now that I think of it, it seems kind of odd to have a "love" system and 7 set heroines like that, considering Rance has not been the most generic of JRPG heroes.

I wonder if it'll end up a joke where no matter what you do, you'll max out everyone? Will this end up as a rare time where Codex won't want C&C?!

 

[TheEntitledOne]

Too early too tell.

And seems like they translated another short game.

Progress on 4.1 has slowly resumed.

And...

And...

 

[TheEntitledOne]

Kichikou Rance seems like it's indeed getting translated, new site:

Seems like it's 20% done.

Rance 4.1 is around 40%.

 

[WhiskeyWolf]

Oh yeah, come to papa.

 

[JoKa]

If they manage to finally translate KR I'm a happy camper...godspeed!

 

[hoverdog]

GAHAHAHAHA!!!

hello guys im new here fan of Rance but the first game i played was sengoku rance but havent finished yet cause im struggling esp. when nobunaga becomes possessed then my pc had to fix so i lost all my game so my question is any site that sells the game where i can download it and any site that has a good walkthrough and maybe what rance should i play first??

 

[TheEntitledOne]

For purchasing the game I can't tell for sure, for more general questions and a walkthrough check the wikia:

http://alicesoft.wikia.com/wiki/Sengoku_Rance

But I don't recommend following a guide for the first time, is better to learn by yourself.
The trick to deal with the demon army and the nobunaga events is to not break the first 5 guards to fast (you can check those in the F5 menu), this way you will have more time to level your commanders (for boss battles), recruit more commanders and hold more land before the demon army appears.

For a more in depth discussion you can check specialized forums:

what rance should i play first??

Sengoku is a good option, since it's the best and the more addictive (and it doesn't require to much knowledge of previous titles). If you want to play them in chronological order, the first 4 are translated (but some of them are very dated, you might want to just follow my Let's Plays in my sig). If you don't mind if the games are in japanese play the remake Rance 01, I heard is quite good

 

[TheEntitledOne]

KR is around 25%
R 4.1 around 80% (I will try to LP this one when 4.2 get's translated, IF I manage to play it in my pc).

A little question, should I add Rance 4 avatars to the gallery? Being old-school and all it should only cause butthurt among the most anal posters right?

Do I need to do something special with the images ? (Png, jpg... size...)


I mean images like this:

You should definitely add the avatars. I believe they do need to be resized, but Crooked Bee can probably tell you more. Also check this thread for more info: http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?threads/avatars.5138/page-49

downloaded rance 6 but the english patch site is now gone

 

[TheEntitledOne]

downloaded rance 6 but the english patch site is now gone

That patch only had a small fraction of the translation, you will have to wait for the full translation (and who knows when that will be).

yeah was dissapointed but just dowloaded sengoku rance ha cant wait to play it

But you don't really need translation for Rance 6, since the game has rather simple mechanic. The only time it's critical when you upgarde your skills, since there you could screw your character by picking not useful ones. And some characters became strong only after you pick some critical upgrades for them.
Other things, like what each skill do in battle or what events related to each character could easily be found after some experimenting, that wouldn cost you little time and resources.
