Kaguya Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Hm, I'm rather fond of this series. It actually took a lot of time to try and come up with a way to describe what it's about that felt right for me, but I think I did it. https://fuwanovel.net/reviews/2017/02/13/rance-5d-vi/ mitchhamilton, Onodera Punpun, Soulless Watcher and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleshogun Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 (edited) Good review there. About Rance, well his kind of unique from most of nice guy typical MC (Understatement I knew), but I find him quite interesting and likeable at that to most of people. Although I understand though that Rance was quite infamous. As for no voice, maybe Alicesoft want to save cost from hiring the seiyuu there, although to be honest I didn't knew the exact reason though (Maybe Alicesoft find it was too bothersome perhaps cost issue aside). As for my personal opinion, I'd find Rance VI was quite enjoyable while 5D was too random but still tolerable though. That's all for my comment here.

I trend away from mainstream opinion here. I'm a big fan of no voices for this exact reason. Less money spent on voice acting means not only the possibility of extra content, but it also means the game doesn't have to sell as well to recoup money. The latter reason means more risks could be taken with the content, whereas as a large budget game will have to try and pander to the largest possible audience group possible.

Decay Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I know MangaGamer probably loves the fact that there are no voices. Voices increase the cost of licensing games by an absurd amount.

He has an actual personality, unlike most VN protagonists. People may not like that personality, but at least it isn't dull. mitchhamilton and Onodera Punpun 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it is one of those games in which you get to rename the protagonist, I kinda take that as an admission from the developers that they didn't even try. mitchhamilton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The universes of those series might seem similar at a first glance, but they're far apart from each other and certainly not the same.

Reveal hidden contents that samurai girl in sengoku rance who fell in love with him at first sight pops into the senki world to fight for him. I guess the reason of that would be the writer herself (Tori), which in turn also responsible for most of Rance games as the writer (Including Rance VI here as well). The cameo was most likely some sort of Easter Egg from the author, and of course it's not in the same universe. As for Senki, no comment other than to each of their own I suppose.
