Will this shit ever come out?
What took them so long?

>>718999606 (OP)
Pizza and Mastertrap bullshit.

>>718999719
And thats correct. Summertime Saga is a turd against all of those.

>>718999606 (OP)
Where do I start on this franchise and those like it? As a cute and funny kinda guy, old systems, weird translations, piracy and emulation I can handle.

>>718999719
Rance IX is better than any fire emblem game

>>718999905
Start with the first game, introduces the main character well and gives you a basis for side characters.
2 introduces my wife.
3 is where the story actually begins, but doesn't make the most sense without playing 1 and 2 first.

>>718999606 (OP)
>When
Dunno
>Why
They lost previous titles translator mid x translation
>>718999905
Start with sengoku if you like characters/setting then go for first(remake is probably okay but i didn't play them)

>>718999719
It is genuinely and unironically true for Rance though.
And BS2 still had world design and a progression structure that's on par with the best of them. With combat that's still top tier for its genre.

Acting like this is ridiculous or implausible is just pathetic.
Why shit on games you clearly know nothing about just because they've got porn?

>>718999719
I will enjoy the endless seethe this picture will generate once again.

>>718999905
Start with Rance 6 or 7.
Not only are they excellent games, they were made to be entry points.

>>718999606 (OP)
>What took them so long
I don't know if it still is but it used to be the single longest piece of written media ever created. As in the most words.
It really is the grand finale of a 30 year old story.

>>719003847
shame with all those they don't have enough h scene to back it up. many part is used for the story

>>718999905
Like the other anon said the story really starts with Rance 03, but you need to play the first two games to understand how did they got to that point.
If you want to jump to the one with the best gameplay then play Sengoku (Rance 7).

>>719003940
Eh, Rance has never really been about the h-scenes. It's about fun characters and decent gameplay.

>>719000327
There is one single Rance game that is good.

>>718999606 (OP)
Just use interface patch and textractor. it's worse than Sengoku and Kichikuou anyway

I've played most rance games but one of the games after sengoku was just an endless grind and I couldn't finish it because it was too boring.
feels bad man

>>719007039
Quest? Try english release, it has double xp mode which reduces grinding.

>>719007039
Questbros...

Recommend me a Rance game to get into the saga, never played any of them

>>719007254
Option A:
Rance 01

Option B:
Rande 01 OVA > Rance II Digest > Rance 03

Option C:
Sengoku Rance

>>719007254
kichikuou
or just start at the beginning, the overarching narrative around rance is pretty good for what it is

>>718999606 (OP)
Official translator said Rance X clocks in at 3.6 billion words. This would make it the game with the highest word count in English. (Baldur's Gate 3 was 2 million words for reference)

>>719007739
KR is a very bad place to start

>>718999719
Doean't count for Rance because its games were literally made by an actual professional company, so. The smallest of the modern Rance games mogs any of the others on that list.

>>719007254
Sengoku like many people did
>but it's Rance 7 why the fuck would I start with the seventh game
Because if you start with I or 01 you might get filtered by shitty gameplay

its just editing left for rance x right?
hopefully next march then

>>719007934
worked for a good chunk of the jp rance fandom

>>718999905
>As a cute and funny kinda guy
Rance doesn't have a lot of pedobait.

>>719008403
>just
previous Rance games spent like 2 years in editing after the translation was done

>>719008536
It's a waste. If he's going to skip games anyway then it's better to start with Sengoku

>>719000327
>Why shit on games you clearly know nothing about just because they've got porn?
It's some /pol/tard that graduated from shitting up BS threads to shitting up every H-game thread. Or some faggots that followed in his footsteps.

Rance is the true japanese GTA

>>719009428
What do you mean?

>>719010254
Both are controversial masculine power fantasies with sociopathic unapologetic protagonists. They have surprisingly detailed and well-crafted worlds, and despite being comedic the gameplay is top tier for their genres.

Physical release will be even longer to wait

>>718999719
Black Souls is unironically good

>>719010889
Rance is more honest in its approach though
