Can finally play this FULLY translated, absolutely insane. Literally have been waiting for almost a decade. Now I just look forward to IX and X full translation... ehheh. Definitely worth the play, solid game with great challenge. Sometimes wish we got another that plays like Sengoku, but closest I know of was Big Bang Age.

Always liked the art and lore of the Rance series, but don't have time to play, so I know it mostly thru the animes and art.
I have less time than ever these days so any of you kind gentlemen could point me in the right direction to find the CG pack for this ? (And possibly add it to the OP)

A majority of japanese eroge producers only started to embrace 16:9 aspect ratio only after windows 10 was released so it's not unusual for eroges before then like Rance quest to be 4:3 aspect ratio.

For people who aren't familiar with this format: You will have an extremely limited amount of skill uses, especially at the start. You want to buy a lot of different spells so you can swap to new spells when your active skills run out to prolong how long you can fight for (At least until you can afford to level up your main skills a bunch). It's usually much cheaper to buy new skills than level up existing ones to have more uses.
This seems pretty grindy too, appears you'll be rerunning old quests a lot to level up. You won't be able to keep charging ahead through quests at the start, not enough skill uses.
Oh, and make sure to put "Area Display" on far, makes getting around a lot easier.

oh...oh my...Oh my God....finally
FINALLY! IT'S OUT BABY! a sequel! (i mean i know there have been a sequel since years ago but i'm talking about the translated one)
it...is a sequel right? or did i misremember the sequel.... .-.
the reason i'm confused is because here it says the game lenght is short but on vndb it says long...so i'm wondering if this isn't the same one as i thought .-.

Me a month ago:
"Eh, I'm kinda burned out on the Rance series. Collapse of Zeth was better than expected, and the older titles are kinda neat. But Sengoku Rance was not that great in hindsight. I probably won't have any strong feelings about Rance Quest now that they've been stalling it for so long - I was apathetic when they finally, finally finished the translation of Fate/hollow ataraxia too. I guess I'll give Kichikuou Rance another playthrough, but that's it."
Me right now:
"HOLY FUCK IT'S HERE, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH"
The setting is *huge*, with hundreds of characters and 20+ games. Not all of them Rance games, either (the Toushin Toshi series, Kaeru nyo Panyon, Evenicle, etc.).
But, the Rance games all tend to be pretty accessible even if you haven't played any of the other games in the series. Yes, there will be a lot of references to story events in earlier games, but you won't need to have played the other games in order to get the plot. Knowing the stories of the other games is a bonus - but each game has a self-contained plot.
Another thing to note: the Rance series had a pretty big makeover between Kichikuou Rance and Collapse of Zeth. Both the art style and the writing changed. Collapse of Zeth is the first of the really 'modern' Rance titles, though Sengoku Rance is the most well-known title of the series (in the west, at least). The other 'modern' Rance titles include the ones set after Sengoku Rance (The Helman Revolution and Rance X, which comes in two parts), as well as remakes of the first few Rance titles (up to Rance III, IIRC).
So, if you want to pick a Rance game to be your introduction to this series, then it's best to start with one of the 'modern' games. I would recommend Sengoku Rance. The remakes of the first three Rance games might also be worth it, but Sengoku Rance is kind of self-contained while also having just enough references to the wider setting to make you curious about the other games.
You could also start with the first few games in the series, but those are pretty primitive by today's standards. And more importantly, the tone and writing in those games is different. I actually like the older games better, and I still think that Kichikuou Rance is by far the best game in the series - but the newer Rance games are very different overall. So like I said, it's probably best to start with one of the 'modern' games.

there's an old rumor on 4chan about an anonymous really angry about Rance Magnum never got translated (until now) so he swear he will applying for a job at mangagamer and translate it himself officially. Dunno about the rumor credibility, it was an anonymous on anonymous board but seeing Rance Magnum translated now, either that guy succeeding his dream or he's very happy right now.
