I've been playing the Rance series in order and am reaching Kikichou Rance soon, so was wondering on your perspective of the best way to play through the game. I want to play it at the point it released in series timeline, so after 4.2, but want to play enough to understand how it shaped the series going forward. I plan to get every CG and ending, but are there other objectives I should aim for to get a full experience of the game and what it represents? Thanks for your time.
I'd personally just advise playing it as blind as you can at least on your first couple runs. See where you can go, what events you can reach. The game itself is very freeform, stuff is deliberately obtuse and missable, but that's part of the experience. Each character has a good or bad fate after each ending depending on your actions. Kichikuou was designed to be "the game with everything in it" and that can be quite overwhelming, but in my experience just rolling with it is a fun thing to do. Obviously if it wears on you after a while you can start looking up how to do certain things or get certain endings, but I think it's best enjoyed unclouded for at least the first few runs.
