Rance 8

i can't understand this game thou..
is there's already english patch 100% for this game?

Check VNDB.

Are you stupid? You do realize how big the game is right? There is also an expansion being released for it which tacks on another 25% of a game to the already massive game.

Rance Quest Magnum is out. lol

Have you tried it ?
Aside from additional quests and CGs, it seems the magnum patch mostly altered characters' skill and game's mechanic. So far, I've found :
Character/Skill Wise

• Before patched, Sachiko only needs to spend 2 skill points to improve her Shield Block's level. But in Magnum, she should spend 4 skill points, just like the other guards.

• Torako is now a Shikigami user. It's not possible for her to learn any specific elemental knowledge anymore.

• Every character now has an additional blue skill, å¾…æ©Ÿ (wait). The function is just like what its name implied.(quoted from Inarashi of alicesoftwiki)

• 2 additional white skills for 45+ characters only. Each costs 30 skill points to learn. (quoted from Zlewe of alicesoftwiki)

• Rance gained 鬼畜アタック red skill. (quoted from Zlewe of alicesoftwiki)

• Tomato can learn 宝箱に好かれる2 and three additional yellow skills. (quoted from Zlewe of alicesoftwiki)

• Healers can learn hammer knowledge, but they gain different red skills than fighters. (quoted from Zlewe of alicesoftwiki)

• Sorcerers can learn white and black destruction beams. (quoted from Zlewe of alicesoftwiki)

• Maria gained new red skill. (quoted from Zlewe of alicesoftwiki)

• Wichita, Kuma, Biscuitta, Yuran Mirage and Megadeth gain new skills after quest 134. (quoted from Zlewe of alicesoftwiki)

• Additional one white skill for guards. (quoted from Zlewe of alicesoftwiki)

Mechanic-wise

• There is now an encounter-rate bar. Its length seems to be varied each time you enter a new room. needs confirmation

• There is also a magnum bar, though I don't know what will happen in time it's filled. needs confirmation

• The Morurun curse doesn't reset said character's level into 1 anymore. It seems to be only reduced by 5 last time I tried.

• New monster in generic dungeon in form of Alicesoft's products magazine cover. You will obtain a wall scroll (which you can see at Rance's Castle) after it's defeated.

• For reasons unknown, I cannot enter Rance Castle after I reset my Childie. needs confirmation

• H-ing a girl in quest (like Katsuko and Torako in quest#43) won't reset the girl's level/raise the girl's level cap if you've done it before. needs confirmation

That's it, the changes are supposed to be more than just that. Anybody find another ?

Not yet, I already uninstalled it and backed it up into a DVD. So, I'm just lazy to get it out again. lol

More details/revisions-for-my-previous-post for the prominent changes, quoted from HF :

• The interface will be revamped, and probably in 2.0 (probably not 1.6 since 1.6 is just a software update and 2.0 is the update+new content) content Matilda will be added as a PC plus the strategist galmon Battle Note will be added (appearance is different than in Galzoo Island).

• Molrun(?) curse will be modified. The first time will be same as before (reset to 1), but 2nd time onwards it'll be -5 level, but level requirement for H next time will be raised, with the item still getting absorbed, so powerlevelling will be somewhat easier.

• A girl can only absorb FIVE items by H-ing. If you H'd your girl more than 5 times for item absorption, upto 5 excess items will be returned to your inventory. If you did this more than 10 times, then further absorbed items will be lost permanently.

• Party screen will show 32 people at a time in the upper pane now (switchable between 10-char and 32-char display).

• There will be an encounter bar showing how long until next encounter happens.

• Items can now be locked to avoid accidental selling/donating.

• There will be a fast move mode that lets your movement be superfast (same as holding Ctrl in some games?).

• Zooming methods are slightly modified too but not sure what that's supposed to mean.

• Characters not participating in battle will also get a small amount of exp now.
  Mai-hime skill of Atago to be slightly powered up.

The game seems to be more-friendlier than it was, though some (major) changes most likely won't be all appealing. (or maybe that's just because my limited ability to read moonrunes)


I have no clue how to distinguish the information between Rance Quest 1.6 and Rance Quest - Magnum. With Magnum released, the game becomes bigger than what I initially expected.

Best wish of luck for the translation team.

Encounter bar works like this. It has a set amount of steps for every single room. Then depending on sneak it adds a few. Then for every encounter it increases the bar, every time you enter a new room. The encounter bar resets to its beginning value. So minus the encounter bonus (Am I clear enough)?

H-ing a girl will still give her level cap. Just tried with Aegis. Mourun Curse will not reset girls to level 1 any 2+ time you H her.
