The games are the primary content produced by ZUN. Anyone that doesn't play them is a secondary.

>>15945197

You fully well know the games are just the front for the music, ergo if you don't just listen to the music you are a secondary.

How do mainland Chinese even get into it? It's so stacked against them. First you have poverty, then constant anti Japanese propaganda, then you have the blanket censorship online, then you need a Chinese person who liked Japan enough to learn Japanese and translate, lastly you need to find this game, and it's hardly got a huge marketing campaign.

>>15947559
There is no easy extra, and there are no easy good endings.

>>15948671
Difficult is relative, but Suwako is pretty easy.

You can get the good endings in Fairy Wars, LoLK and maybe PoFV with easy mode.

>>15948671
PCB and MoF Extras are considered the easiest Extras to clear. IN Extra isn't too bad, either.

You can see good endings on Easy mode in some games. Heck, PCB Easy unlocks the Extra if you 1cc.

>>15945051

Wrong:

Danmaku Games: Primary
Anything Else Official: Secondary
Fan-derived Content: Tertiary

does it really matter if you are a secondary or not though?

>>15948683
I meant that beating easy mode doesn't give you an extra. I couldn't play an extra unless I could somehow beat normal.

>>15948721
I always get annoyed when people make a big deal over having to play the games. Yes, I do think they are great games and people should play them because they are. Of course people should know that they were the origin of Touhou but some people simply do not enjoy shooting games.

>>15948771
For most games, yes.

>How do mainland Chinese even get into it?

Dude there's a million Chinese weebs. They're way more dedicated than us Westerners, if you go on sadpanda you'll notice that basically every single doujin ever has a Chinese translation within days of being scanned. Chinese anime streaming sites make Japan more money than Western ones too.

Koreans aren't quite as dedicated but they're still more dedicated than us. Ironically porn is banned in both countries yet every new H-doujin still gets translated.

Please use sageru when you're posting in this thread onegaishimasu.

>>15948808
I notice them not uploading raws. Dedicated to being dicks, maybe.

>>15944990
>>15945066
Fuck off newfags

>>15948974
1. They are such weebs that they actually respect the wishes of an author not to upload RAWs.

2. Groups are more competitive, so RAWs are shared among group members only. In the West, the chance of a group being "beaten" to a translation is about 1 in a GCRascal.

3 They give -20 fucks about Non-Chinese anything, yet alone non-Chinese translators.

Now I fucking know there are a ton of Chinese Americans who can read either traditional characters or simplified characters, and could translate these if they wanted to. I don't know why there are not groups dedicated to that, besides complacency.

If my Chinese improves, I might start taking a whack at it.


----

Food for thought: There are two functioning niconico clones in Mainland China (Bilibili and ACfun) dedicated around otaku culture/anime, in spite of the fact that new anime is banned in China.

In the West, where people have free access to most anime and otaku tangents, and most of us have the money to partially support such a website, how many niconico-esque sites are there in the West?

Here's a good overview of continuity. You can read SSiB in its entirety before CiLR if you want (instead of interleaving), but you pretty much have to read both for the whole story. WaHH, FS, and OSP often intertwine because they run in serialization and happen more or less in real time. Secret Sealing Club stories are mostly a separate thing.

>>15949045
But respecting intellectual property is inherently evil.

>>15949388
Since they disrespecting it by translating it in the first place, that's irrelevant

To everyone else in the thread who's not big into shooting games, try Shoot the Bullet.
It lets you go super aggressive and kill the boss in seconds, but also allows you to play defensively and carefully take them down as slowly as you're comfortable.
Most importantly, instead of lives you just restart the fight when you die. You can try out kooky strategies and play how you want without worrying about getting sent to the high score screen.

You're gonna find fans of Touhou who are more likely to have never 1cced a game than have 1cced, though.

Exactly. They're games you complete once for each character and then rarely touch again.

>>15965724
Not quite. Quite a few people take the games farther and have a great time doing so, like pursuing Lunatics and the like. And those people, honestly, are the true fans of the series.

>>15969195
You're underestimating how in-depth the games are and the sheer amount of effort of those who seek to improve their skills at the game. There's LNBers and scorerunners, and then some take them even farther and aim for LNN(N)s and world records.

And I know for a fact not one of them feels like they wasted any time once they achieve their goals.

It's not really a huge feat if you are persistent, and once you get good at one game getting good at others becomes easy. Maybe you just dont like shooting games?

Not enough to put in all that time. It would take me much longer then that anyway.

I've literally never met anyone irl that would make me think they even are aware of touhou.

I once saw a car in the parking lot of my city's city hall that had Touhou stickers on it. One said Gensokyo something and there was one of Marisa. There was at least one or two other ones but I didn't have time to look too long because I saw some skinny guy with glasses and his mom walking toward the car and I didn't want to be caught staring at their car if it was theirs.

Sure enough they got in the car.

Now you're just trying to justify wasting so much time. The games aren't hard even on lunatic, and are very simple. A couple different lines of dialogue isn't enough to play it with other characters. People going for self-imposed challenges are by definition a smaller part of the majority.

>>15949503
It's cute and fun, just like every other big name Touhou song from back in the day. There's nothing wrong with it. But the issue here is that through overexposure, people who are more than familiar with those kinds of songs got sick of them. A lot of people who aren't too familiar with doujin music think that those arranges are the only ones to exist/can't be bothered to or simply don't want to listen to newer songs, so there's a bit of a clash between these two kinds of people.

>>15945197

From my understanding, ZUN specifically wanted to be a video game composer. He started making games so he could make games he wanted to play, and by extension, create the music he wanted to create.
