VGL roster poll is finished with 31 votes.
The late annoucement of Eve 2 on steam had a big impact on the non Rance character poll. Kano went from not even being a roster suggestion to overwhelmingly winning the category with Retia's debatable performance as a goalkeeper leading to her getting dropped.

Now for the main poll and this had a lot of changes with JAPAN unsurprisingly getting a big push from the steam release.
Our five medals are Rance, Kanami, Rick, Kayblis and Shizuka with Lia narrowly missing out.
Suzume, Senhime, Isoroku (despite being the last person to qualify from the preliminary poll), Kouhime and TOSH all made the team.
Two experienced defenders in Patton and Kamilla have lost their spots on the team with Rizna, Sheila and Tone also getting dropped.
When Rance 03 was released in English we voted for Patton to be renamed as Helman Bvll but his popularity since then has dropped. I'll probably put him in next VGLs poll as I'm Your Sister, which was his name when he was a starting CB for the last decade.

Now there was a tie for the final roster spot on the team between Hornet and Kenshin.
So there is one more vote.
Who should be on the team?
Hornet or Kenshin

Always thought Helman bull is a terrible name, while I'm your sister is pretty iconic.

Also, another X thing I just remembered that was kinda funny and strange.
Hornet has a unique but brief exchange with body double Kayblis in Shangrila, but nothing of note in the final battle in from the sea or great invasion. Combined with Am-sama's unusual dialogue in Shangrila it really makes me think it was designed before they decided to cut stuff. Which is a shame. Also the wiki is wrong, it says you can only do Hornet rescue on turn 7 or 8 with 7 being B or C routes but I rescued Hornet on turn 5. Maybe it's because I double tapped Leazas 1 to fight Hawzel and Saizel then abandoned to get Silky which made it confused?
>>
>>585193178
You only needed to get Miki and do Leazas 1 in order to do her quest.
>>
>>585193178
The wiki is listing the deadline not when it's first possible.

>>585195329
Using Miki as an example it has an at turn 6 or earlier added onto it, with the quest in the quest list saying turn 4-6. Hornets just says turn 7 or 8 with the quest list saying 7-8. It makes it seem like you can't do it any earlier than that rather than that being the deadline only.

Rance isn't fast. 120 Speed is way to high.

>>585200987
>implying pokemon stats have ever made sense
>>
>>585201203
They still adhere to a play style. Rance is more a bulky sweeper than a fast one.
>>
>>585201551
Nah, Rance is someone who tries to overwhelm people with fast and sneaky attacks both in large scale combat and duels.
>>
>>585201850
No, he's more of a hit them really hard once. Rick would overwhelm you with fast attacks but Rance would use fewer stronger attacks that you can't guard against.
>>
>>585196685
Hornet should be considered a high tier legendary.
600 total stat points falls a bit short. She should have 680 points like Mewtwo, Lugia, etc. I'll make her slower and ramp up both of her defenses since she has an invincibility field.

Rance is Haxorus/Rampardos, basically. Maybe Bisharp
>>
>>585207205
You need to leave room for Kayblis who would have a higher BST and Little Princess/Goddeses like ALICE who would be even higher than that. Hornet probably has to be lower-mid 600s, Kayblis upper 600s. 700s is where you break into the Little Princess/God tier.
>>
>>585198074
Sen should have a tank build. Her main gimmick in the games is 'tenacity,' so she should have skills like Sturdy and moves like Endure. Also Follow Me, Rage Powder or Ally Switch to protect allies and Reversal to do high damage when her HP is low.
>>
>>585207661
I think Ursaluna is a good baseline. Take away some defense put it in speed. Maybe had a few more stat points so he's 70-80 range. Some range where he can operate in both Trick and Tailwind. Can outspeed things with scarf depending on the nature and EVs. High HP, Strong Physical attacks, you can use nature/items/EVs to make really slow or deceptively fast.
>>
>>585207891
Kayblis should have 720 total base stats.
The demon kings could have the stats of unobtainable mons like Eternatus in its boss form (1100+)
>>
>>585208621
Could also give her Regenerator, she does have that healing skill in Sengoku. Would make her and very offensive tank. She doesn't take hits as well as other tanks but she can deal damage and be swapped out and brought back in.
>>
>>585208996
I don't think you need to break the 1k range. 780 is fine. That's Mega Rayquaza, Mega Metweo. Also the Primals. What happens if you take already very powerful legendaries and juice them even more.
>>
>>585200407
I don't think Rance has an oppressively intimidating aura canonically, that would be something like Rick in Red Reaper mode.
>>
>>585210320
Yeah, defiant would make more sense would it not?
>>
>>585210850
Also I wonder if moody would make sense. Random stat games and drops to add unpredictability.
>>
>>585210993
I don't know anything about Pokémon but maybe something that was representative of his predilection for winning by guile would be appropriate, too. Maybe in place of No Guard? He's not Thoma, he's not supposed to be a wall on two legs.
>>
>>585211383
There is a skill called guts that increases attack when a status is applied. Usually players use an item that applies a status like burn. No guard is fine though I think. It lets him use moves that are normally high risk high reward with no risk. Trade-off being the same can be done against him. Makes him more offensive.
>>
>>585211924
Actually guts does have some interesting if you consider Sill. The burn status does damage ever turn, So Rance gradually gets chipped down. And you obviously have Sill as support keeping him topped off. He's able to go for riskier plays with Sill backing him up.

It's been decompiled for ages. There's nothing AI can do that wasn't already possible
it's basically the translation holding everything back, there's little point in english players modding a version they can't read, and the Japanese players would email the mod to TADA first and get a permission slip from the company, which is an obvious barrier to entry.

>>585342687
I don't remember it being hated nor is it hated now
I think the main complaint is cut content which is a flaw even the developers probably acknowledge, the game took forever and was even delayed on top of that

Also all the unused text combined with the length of the game led to essentially fake leaks, people were datamining text you don't encounter in the game when nobody had finished it yet, so there was a lot of speculation
>>
>>585379176
>the game took forever and was even delayed on top of that
it wasn't that much time since IX though? They just had to finish before TADA retired.
>>
>>585379576
I think it was the other way around, TADA could only retire once it was finished and once it was finished he had nothing left to do. TADA wasn't even that old for a retiree when he became "semiretired", at 51 years old. I doubt he'd rush it out the door to retire, more likely it's financial pressure that forced the deadline, can't exceed the budget too much

I think I misremembered about the delay but the wiki makes it sound like it was internally delayed because of other games, and was supposed to come out 2 years earlier
>>
I remember the time very well and there absolutely was no feel of it being delayed especially since we got magnum 2012, 01 2013, IX 2014, Evenicle and 03 in 15

Raphtalia?
>>
>>585403346
Well, a part of her thing was that she didn't age during her stay in Genbu's castle.
Also come on, she definitely did look cuter in the previous games.
>>
>>585404892
Her actual age is in the 50s iirc. Which is not even close. She's also supposed to be busty like Maris. Mature women vibe.
>>
>>585399220
She's ambitious in a funny way. Arlcoate's style of characters do absolutely nothing for me.
>>
>>585405704
>She's also supposed to be busty like Maris. Mature women vibe.
She didn't give off that vibe in VI imo, in 5D she looked even younger, but I guess that could be attributed to the artstyle. I assumed her actual age to be like 16 or 17 + 30 so I was going off of that.
>>
>>585406893
Not that niwa but everyone looks so soft in VI.
>>
>>585397920
Most everyone looks older in SR. I think it gives it a more serious feeling, like some kind of anti-chibi style.
Same reason I dislike Rance Quest's art only in reverse.
>>
>>585406893
She looks completely flat there compared to SR.
>>
>>585412918
This niwa needs his girls to have PIEro sized titties to notices them
>>
The weird thing is that apparently big tits were considered provincial and low class here in the west until quite recently. Apparently Japan wasn't terribly fond of them either because they thought it ruined the silhouette of a kimono if a woman was too busty. Previous generations had some bizarre taste in women.
>>
But the strangest people are definitely those african tribes which don't think much of exposing them. Just...how.

Even if you get him early, outside of few quests (males only, low levels only) he's still not really useful gameplay-wise. Sachiko and Kou are just superior, and you get them early as well.
>>
>>585474450
That's one of my big problems with Quest. The cast is huge but you have no reason to use like 80% of it. Maybe it was better in Quest 1.0?
>>
>>585474920
there was no option to skip a turn in battle in Quest 1.0 so you ran out of skills quicker
>>
>>585474920
No, the cast was already huge, and people didn't get passive exp back then, leaving you with just as many underleveled weak characters unless you went out of your way to level them.

>>585475323
It taught you to not need those wait skills. Only class I'd ever use them on is healers. Everyone else has a better choice.

There's an early Yankee quest that has multiple endings. When you first meet aegis that quest has two endings. Also the Lion mind and Kalar quest have optional boss fights. There should also be some hint Crane gives you. Granted I don't remember Rocky ever coming up.

It's for replay value. You can do challenge runs for example. But the huge cast is awesome, I love being able to use Emi even if she's a weird unit that has no strong reason to be in the cast.
>>
>>585477103
I am 90% certain that Rocky has no Crane hint.
>>
>>585485701
But Quest doesn't have replay value. It doesn't even have a New Game button.
>>
>>585485701
I actually was surprised by how early you can get some characters. Emi can be obtained diring the Yankee quest. You wouldn't know the first time around but you could have a sizable roster really early on on a fresh save.
>>
>>585476543
yeah, different quest outcomes may give you nice things (like an item that boosts magic power), or different follow-up quetss (which may have nice loot. Like, the mall where yyou recruit Alkaneze can give you zombie swords)

There also the Quest with Am's general guys. You go back to finish to off to make a later quest easier. I think there are more Quest mid to late game with more clears or optional stuff but you're less likely to remember them because you're already used to the game at that point. Probably also do more things correctly first try.

I don't even think they would interact even if they were in proximity. There's a bit in the beat gacha where Shizuka never learned about the Russian reveal.

Tbf she to a degree devoted her life to revenge, and then after getting revenge had a psycho archnemesis. It's a miracle she has any relationships at all. Side effect of Rance forcing her to go on adventures with him is that she has to socialize.

Quest is that kind of game where I think, once you get into the meat of it, it's best served as something you do for an hour or two here or there off to the side rather than a 9 hour binge.

Probably, but his sprite is only slightly taller than a Goering.

I don't think all toushin are as large as the one in VI. The one that drove back Nos wasn't that much taller than him. Omega in KR is pretty small.

That's how I played the postgame in VI after getting there through 9 hours binges. I also binged Quest until the Morurun seeding started. It's all good fun though.

With Rance X coming out soonish most likely, I'm going to replay all the Rance games. I'm doing it interspersed with other games, so I think I'll finish around a good enough point, even with testing starting in December/January.

Most of the systems are in place and the gameplay loop works. Need to do all the art (walk sprites, talk sprites, backgrounds, ui, etc) and all the script writing for events between characters. So, programming finished, it's all art and writing.

While it is true that Bird deserved losing every woman he had, he also got flanderized. He was supposed to be a womanizer that quickly loses interest but he got turned into an incel that REALLY REALLY wants to have sex but everytime a woman falls in love with him he abandons her for no reason without even getting what he wants first. In Tousin Toshi 1 Bird surrendered to a woman and then ended up fucking her anyway, The Nu Bird could never turn defeat into victory like that.

It leads to an unavoidable game over after a few turns due to her becoming LP and wanting to hunt down Rance, since she blames him for Kentarou dying and raping her.

X stuff
Finished breakthrough, I expected more but I think I said that about every route so far. I double tapped free cities again to make Miki mine but she never even came up, neither did Warg. Arios was also completely absent again, and the fiend interactions were nice but really short. Silky had no lines either, but at least Hornet was relevant and actually got a h-scene. Since this was the last thing I was gonna do before part 2 I looked up on the jp wiki where to find some cards I saw on the wiki, there's definitely a lot of things I've never done. But I think I'll leave them for now. Come back with an all clear for other cards as well, or maybe wait for the english release to get them so I'll have new stuff to do still. I've actually considered leaving part 2 as a whole for the english release for that same reason. But we'll see how that goes.

I get the feeling that Kayblis would definitely like Pound's "Sestina : Altaforte"

LOQUITUR: En Bertrans de Born.
Dante Alighieri put this man in hell because he was a stirrer up of strife.
Judge ye!
Have I dug him up again?
The scene is at his castle, Altaforte. "Papiols" is his jongleur. "The Leopard," the arms of Richard Coeur de Lion.

I
Damn it all! all this our South stinks peace.
You whoreson dog, Papiols, come! Let's to music!
I have no life save when the swords clash.
But ah! when I see the standards gold, vair, purple, opposing
And the broad fields beneath them turn crimson,
Then howls my heart nigh mad with rejoicing.

II
In summer have I great rejoicing
When the tempests kill the earth's foul peace,
And the lightnings from black heav'n flash crimson,
And the fierce thunders roar me their music
And the winds shriek through the clouds mad, opposing,
And through all the riven skies God's swords clash.

III
Hell grant soon we hear again the swords clash!
And the shrill neighs of destriers in battle rejoicing,
Spiked breast to spiked breast opposing!
Better one hour's stour than a year's peace
With fat boards, bawds, wine and frail music!
Bah! there's no wine like the blood's crimson!

IV
And I love to see the sun rise blood-crimson.
And I watch his spears through the dark clash
And it fills my heart with rejoicing
And pries wide my mouth with fast music
When I see him so scorn and defy peace,
His lone might 'gainst all darkness opposing.
>>
>>585906161
V
The man who fears war and squats opposing
My words for stour, hath no blood of crimson
But is fit only to rot in womanish peace
Far from where worth's won and the swords clash
For the death of such sluts I go rejoicing;
Yea, I fill all the air with my music.

VI
Papiols, Papiols, to the music!
There's no sound like to swords swords opposing,
No cry like the battle's rejoicing
When our elbows and swords drip the crimson
And our charges 'gainst "The Leopard's" rush clash.
May God damn for ever all who cry "Peace!"

VII
And let the music of the swords make them crimson!
Hell grant soon we hear again the swords clash!
Hell blot black for always the thought "Peace!"

Easiest way to start is finish the other routes, start the next game with 1 star you start with a generous count of 120 points for little increase in difficulty you'll hardly notice it at all. Then it's just getting character clears and whatever other things you can. Of course the higher you want to go the more you gotta work but that's to be expected.
>>
>>585909454
Go for Ran route on 1 star difficulty, the most casual way to get 50+ points.
Getting anything more without already having some points would require skill or a guide
>>
>>585909454
Just play another route at higher star setting
>>
>>585909454
Yeah just start a 1* difficulty run, then do a Monkeyslayer or Ran route since nothing forces you to advance the story there. Defeat Masamuse, Orochi, collect the treasures and do as many clears as you can. I managed to get 160 points on my first 1* Monkeyslayer run.

Because I cried when it happened to me

I don't care about Suzume

I didn't expect this at all I just wanted to Morurun her. I'm kind of emotional now too.

I'd be lying if I said it didn't fuck me up for a couple of days too

>>585926594
I got so happy while playing the Dai Sengoku mod when I found out that you can save her
>>
>>585892652
Sounds like something that'd scroll by when imagawa's turn is happening
But wait, Torako doesn't have glasses. So this can't be canon

>>585932971
Even the stoic haniwa can be goaded into action by the mocking words of a mesugaki.
>>
>>585933146
I feel like they'd at least put glasses on her first. Even potteries have standards.

Isn't unprompted smooching worse? Or are they both as bad each other
Is there a hierarchy for these things?

>>585950614
If I were Pandaman I wouldn't want her after this.

>>585951265
Smooching is worse on used goods scale but better on PG scale

How did Xavier get the monster army all the way to JAPAN anyway?
>>
>>585951869
Monster military base in okinawa.

>>585951773
I need to know how all the actions rank on the used goods scale
>>
It’s very erotic to think that Yukihime is so good at making out that she gets people to declare war on Oda
>>
>>
>>585951869
The monster army are just normal monsters in one size fits all suits, so I assume he just gathered up a bunch of monsters from local dungeons and then borrowed a few generals, captains, and suits which would be a lot easier to smuggle across the continent than a full army.
Why would Kay-chan go along with his plan before the civil war is over? dunno.
Or there were remnants of his armies from the past times he broke free that just rejoined his army, I guess? That's a lot of monsters though.
>>
>>585966698
Kayblis assisted him so he would join him in the civil war, Xavier was kind of a wildcard whose abilities weren't really known at that point because he was separated from the rest of monsters for 2000 years, but he was a part of the elite four before he was sealed for the first time so as far as everyone knew he was a Camilla class fiend, Kayblis needed to get him as fast as possible. It was also possible that he wouldn't join Kayblis's faction after finishing in JAPAN but if he was ignored that possibility would've been higher
>>
>>585924868
She was the realest niwa I know. I blame the KKK faction for advocating for her removal from the story.
>>
>>585969803
Kay-chan has been alive long enough to know how much of a fuckup Xavier is, former elite status or not. He's also practically a part of his faction already anyway because Hornet would refuse him. It's either join Kay-chan or be a loner that gets killed when either of the two factions win if he survives long enough for that.
>>
>>585971443
Kayblis knew Xavier at his prime, he was likely much stronger back then, Xavier was the first fiend to be defeated despite his invisibility field so Kayblis had to acknowledge that Xavier's opponent was mighty either way, during his first revival he was heavily weakened and during his second he had to face the hero so his defeats were understandable.
It was also not a guarantee that Hornet would refuse him, keep in mind that no one knew he was planning to kill all the JAPANese, it was reasonable to assume that he was planning to only conquer JAPAN, he also did not disobey Gai's orders because he never even met him, since Gai didn't stop him when he had the chance you can even say Gai didn't mind whatever Xavier did, from Hornet's perspective he was only carrying Nighcisa's will, which would've made him similar to her.

Maris, Lia and the maid dancing in front of God's Door is the best CG in all of KR.

Rance's hands are suspiciously oversized. Sill is also drawn in a rather feminine way. Was this drawn by a woman?
>>

Greens are queens.

>>585978428
He's only at a fraction of his power in SR yeah but he's still the only fiend known that lost to humans who couldn't hurt him not once but thrice. Not even the holy magic sect managed to seal one single fiend but he got himself sealed three times. He's a massive fuckup. He's a shame to all fiends.
Hornet would've likely known about his exploits in JAPAN, even if Gai didn't mind at the time that doesn't mean she wouldn't now. If he didn't go for a salty runback Hornet might've accepted him but there'd be no chance if he went through with it and she learned about it.

>its rance x finally translated yet?
>no?
>well... i came back in an hour..
>>
>>585984015
Humans could hurt him during his first and third time though, during his first time he had to fight Geppei who is a devil and can hurt fiends and during his third time he had to fight the hero with Nikkou, we don't know much about his second time other than that he was at his weakest during that time, he is also the only fiend in his army unlike during the Holy Magic Sect war where all fiends fought, Camilla and Nos managed to lose with 3 fiends so Xavier's defeats aren't as much of a shame in comparison.
It's true that Hornet probably wouldn't accept him after learning everything after the war was over but Kayblis didn't knew that when he sent those monster generals which is what this discussion is about.

All Rance x Sill is

>>585951869
He has very capable apostles, that aside he didn't really get that many monsters considering the sheer scale of the main force.

Go, and catch a falling star,
Get with child a mandrake root,
Tell me, where all past years are,
Or who cleft the Devil’s foot,
Teach me to hear mermaids singing,
Or to keep off envy’s stinging,
And find
What wind
Serves to advance an honest mind.

If thou be’est born to strange sights,
Things invisible to see,
Ride ten thousand days and nights,
Till age snow white hairs on thee,
Thou, when thou return’st, wilt tell me
All strange wonders that befell thee,
And swear
Nowhere
Lives a woman true, and fair.

If thou find’st one, let me know,
Such a pilgrimage were sweet,
Yet do not, I would not go,
Though at next door we might meet,
Though she were true when you met her,
And last, till you write your letter,
Yet she
Will be
False, ere I come, to two, or three.

Guys two questions:
1. if you wanted to play rance from the start what is the order (I know it's numbered but there's side games outside of the numbered ones)
2. what are the games worth playing? I've only played sengoku and would like the ones like that but I'm willingly to explore more because I want to understand the lore and connections before sengoku.
>>
>>586000283
01, 02, 03, IV, 4.1, 4.2, Kichikuou, 5D, VI, Sengoku, Quest, IX, X

All of them are worth playing.
