However, when they do interact with others they're extremely businesslike. They have an agreement with the tengu to give them their own space and leave them alone.

You choose a character (each has a set primary shot type), then a secondary option type. In game, power items increase your primary options as normal, while the game-specific items ("seasonal points" or whatever) increases the secondary options. There's also a C-button mechanic that uses the secondary options for mini-bombs.

Proposed improvements:
-buff Cirno: reduce spread and increase damage
-nerf Reimu's damage a little bit. Homing feels too strong in this game
-nerf autumn option: reduce gauge gain by about 30%
-activating C should nullify spellcard bonus
-remove the extra life at 5 million points
-grazing should add to PIV
Thoughts? I don't expect ZUN to ever see these, but a few of these, especially the spellcard bonus one, actually need to happen.

i translated the history

02. History

A cherry blossoming at Hakurei shrine. It's the beauty that would normally have been done even at one of the banquets. But this year it is different. I can't see anyone

Marisa: It's hot
Reimu: What's wrong with that?
Marisa: The Magical Forest was Snowing

Marisa was looking like a midwinter.

Reimu: I wonder if we are going to hold even cherry blossoms even though they are springing like this
Marisa: That is good, but only cherry blossoms are blooming. I wonder if it is sunny.
???: Oh, the cherry blossoms are in bloom....?

What appeared was Tengu's newspaper reporter, It was... Shameimaru Aya.

Aya: I have heard that cherry blossoms may bloom even in autumn when warm days continue after chilling once......
Reimu: I do not know the cause, but for the time being this kind of feeling. It's not just cherry blossoms, it's growing wild
Aya: Hmmm ... Oh, I remembered urgent business so I will go home.

Aya came home with pleasure.

Marisa: What's up with her, Why did she come here for?
Reimu: It is very abnormal weather here. It is not just a natural phenomenon. As Tengu is exploring, this is a strange thing.

When Reimu acted, Gensokyo was already showing coloring every season. On the calendar is a story of midsummer.

Some of these really depend on what difficulty you're playing on (especially if you add in LoLK)
>>
>>16980462
I think we've all been through that phase before.
>>
>>16980457
I think winter lasts longer in comparison. It also lets you plant directly under a boss and retreat to another area, which you cant do with fall.
>>
Is it just me or is the music simply not as good as DDC's or LoLK's?
DDC's and LoLKs both had better Stage 1-3 songs with far better boss themes.

I don't hate it or anything, but I remember liking the songs for both already on the first time I heard them.
>>
>>16980434
Maybe it increases your damage?
>>
>>16980473

>>
>>16980473
It's a bit more like TD to me, and I happened to love TD's music.

>>
>>16980416
>2. Kyouko
What the fuck
>>
>>16980464
Definitely. I mostly play on Normal and sometimes hard.
I found Marisa harder in Normal than in Hard for some reason.
Touhou 12 at Hard is a nightmare, Lunatic even more.
Touhou 11 has the hardest normal difficulty out of all em not including 15.
8 has the easiest normal but Hard difficulty makes the patterns way harder
6 and 7 doesn't have hard stage 4 bosses but has a hard stage 4
>>
>>16980473
I disagree. I think the music is really good, especially compared to lolk. That game only had a handful of good tracks while most of the new ones are good
>>
>>16980462
To this day I can't see curved lasers and not instinctively flinch
>>
>>16980462
To be honest, once you get used to the fakeout nature of them they aren't too bad.

Even her last spellcard where she makes a clone isn't pretty easy if you just shoot the clone and then focus on her.

Predict their popularity

Etarnity > Nemuno > Komamo

Etarnity design is by far the best. Plus, Stage 1 Boss moe. She'll be on tons of stuff with Wriggle and maybe Yuuka for sure.

Nemuno is /ss/ bait, will have a niche fanbase

Komamo is pretty ugly

DDC first stage and boss: shit.

second stage: forgettable

third stage: forgettable

thrid boss: memorable but only because it's another straight U.N.Owen/Heian Alien ripoff, this time with guitars.

fourth stage: kinda ok

fourth boss: forgettable

fifth stage: forgettable

fifth boss: shit

everything after that: forgettable.

Eirin and Kaguya are definitely harder than Yuyuko, and Marisa/Reimu are harder than the Sisters.

>>
>>16980537
I don't buy it. The only times he pulled "variations on a theme" were the last 2 stage 6 bosses, and it's even worse with how many remixes of the main theme are around across the series' history. And Touhou melodies are incredibly corny as fuck especially when you listen to them 5 years later so I appreciate him toning that shit down.

Eh, thinking about it I did Malice cannon my way to victory, so maybe Eirin was easier that she should be, but Kaguya was a joke seconded only to Miko.

Between the sisters and Reimu... I don't see it, I can't think of a single thing either of them did to make them more difficult than the other.

More than anything I remember struggling with Youmu while while thinking Reisen's gimmick was a joke and having all kinds of trouble with the Extra/Phantasm stage but then get to IN and the only difficult thing there was Kiene's second spell card.
>>
>>16980547
You mean INMU right?
>>
>>16980587
The man was homeschooled. Please understand.
>>
>>16980551
IN (esp. stage 3, boss 4, extra stage & boss), MoF (esp. stage 3, stage 4, boss 5, stage 6, boss 6) and SA (esp. stage 4, stage&boss5, boss 6, stage extra) are the gold standard music-wise. DDC in my opinion has worst music among main titles so far.

No way, the buildup is just better on Ran's theme.

I can't see it like that. Pristine Beat's tone is so low that even it at its highest tempo doesn't feel like a climax.

So who's gonna be the popular one this time between these three?

Or will they become forgotten after we get the 4/5/Final/Extra Bosses like it happened with LoLK?
>>
>>16980660
I like TD music, ISC music was surprisingly great, and LoLK has some good tracks too. the new one is looking good so far as well. It's just DDC that wasn't very good for some reason.
>>
>>16980583
LoLK's stage 5 (and boss) are two of the few exceptions to this pattern. Probably the musical highlight of LoLK for me
>>
>>16980660
Those songs are terrible. They don't come from anywhere. There's no interest in the melody at all. Compare them to something like Alice Maestra,
>>
>>16980537
Just considering the last game, how are stage 4 and 5 not memorable in LOLK? Faraway Voyage, The Sea Where One's Home Planet Reflects, and Pure Furies are pretty powerful songs.

After Doremy's theme LoLK music went a bit downhill IMO, not bad by any means though. Clownpiece theme is brain rape, but it's probably supposed to be that way, at least it's not outright annoying garbage like Hartmann's Youkai Girl.
>>
>>16980668
Etarnity will be the most popular by far. Hag will be forgotten outside of doujins, her design just isn't that striking. Cute Library Lion will get some love in fanart but will be passed over once hte full game comes out.

How so? Necrofantasia only have 2 peaks; intro and the chorus, and it's bridge is awful and so out of place compared to the intro and the chorus.
Ran's theme, on the other hand, has three (first chorus, the bridge to second chorus, and the pitch change) and feels connected to each other. The beats and the zunpets are just emotionally pleasing to hear. Necrofantasia is too overrated, even ZUN had to change her theme on IaMP.

I liked LoLK music better than some of the other new titles. LoLK > DDC > TD for me. Stage 5/boss in LoLK is great, as is the Stage 6 theme. But the boss, while not bad per se doesn't match up to previous stuff like Border of Life and Gensokyo Millenium

Bug'll get/stay popular if she starts getting paired with other characters which we're already seeing with Cirno and Wriggle.

Dog depends on if she's part of a group with stage 4-6, but by herself she's got nothing. And that hag's doomed from the start, her profile straight up says she's a loner so I don't see anything coming from her.

Jesus fuck. If ZUN keeps the autumn option as is, this is easily the hardest game to score at a WR level. I did a NB run in pic related spamming C for almost every nonspell/spellcard and got over twice my non spamming run. Shit is intense. My ears hurt from the high pitched shit.

>>16980222
I can tell you there's ones at 5m, 10m, 20m, 40m, 70m, 100m, 150m, and 250m. There's probably more past that too, but I think it would be very difficult to get a 250m score on the demo right now.

>>16980748
>the music was amazing
Have you even read the thread? DDC is the absolute low point of ZUN's music career.
>>
>>16980730
I'm not sure, the only thing that even sounds like it's been done before is the piano in the background sounding vaguely like the main theme

Also a reminder that it's a series with literally 400+ songs made by one person. Similarities are bound to happen simply because of how the human subconscious work. Many artists shit the bed and repeat themselves at a much lower song count than that

Stage 5 is a remix of Higan Retour unless that also doesn't count as ZUN's musical style.

From a survival standpoint I'd rather he nerf it, but from a scoring standpoint I think it sets the bar as the most difficult and precise shit to manage since PoDD. You need to get super close to the bosses with the shield up to maximize PIV gain, but you need to make sure you don't die from getting too close, and since the shield is small bullets can get behind you, blocking your way back. You also need to manage the boss's health since you don't want to kill her too fast or not do enough damage and not get spell bonuses. The shield does damage to the boss so you have to balance between putting the shield on her to maximize amount of bullets absorbed and how fast you want to kill her. Bombing on bosses will almost always result in lost PIV. Et cetera.
There's probably more intricacies that I haven't figured out myself yet since I'm not a superplayer, but I don't envy anyone trying to score HSiFS.

>musical retards complaining about music
I mean, I'm nostalgic for old ZUN stuff too, but let's not kid ourselves. ZUN's older material was very heavy on specific, melodic loops. Very catchy sequences one after another, but which don't flow into one another so well to create a sense of atmosphere. Think of U.N.Owen and while it was catchy, what the fuck was the point of the horrifying descending progression at the start? The segue into that more mellow xylophone bit was sudden as fuck. There's a reason most remixes leave the intro out - it's terrible.

In tracks like Necrofantasia and Border of life, he doesn't even bother trying to ease one part of the song into the next - there's just a brief pause and then immediately it goes into whatever. And this isn't even taking into account his fetish for shitty arpeggios and such. I mean, I love the old songs too, but they weren't musical masterpieces or anything. They were strong melodies with shitty padding. Often arranges picked out the gold and left everything else behind.

IN and MoF is where you start to see some major changes. Songs like Bamboo Cutter and Immortal smoke focus on a single strong refrain. There's no real bridge between verses, only the rising and falling action of the theme. And that worked out great. By MoF he was even deeper into this style. Songs were highly atmospheric, utilizing more subdued instruments than the heavy guitars and trumpets of IN, but with a strong emphasis on a single refrain. This pattern continues into SA, save for probably Okuu's theme, which was uncharacteristically chaotic for some reason. Nuclear power? I don't get it.

(cont)
UFO is was the next big shift. By this point ZUN is focused almost entirely on musical texture and we get some gorgeous songs that aren't something you'd hum to yourself, but work very well with the game. For the most part these songs take a backseat to the gameplay and serve to augment the atmosphere, rather than create it. Think Fires of Hokkai, Vaisravana, and Captain Murasa. Strong precussion, piano, and bass - little of anything else. The Exception is probably Emotional Skyscraper, which is fantastic, and a really strong case for ZUN's more atmospheric style - it's memorable, but not intrusive, featuring inoffensive instrumentals and strong refrains that bridge into one another incredibly well.

TH13 takes these premises a little too far though. The soundtrack works very well as a game soundtrack, it complements the action and establishes atmosphere, but the whole thing is so damned boring. There's never any unexpected inserts, no energetic instrumentation. Very boring and predictable, but probably functions the best as a soundtrack, simply due to how unremarkable it is.

Since DDC, it feels ZUN's been trying to work more of his pre-IN style into his music. Lot more ZUNpets, multiple disparate refrains and jarring sounds. Dunno if that's a good thing or a bad thing, I wasn't a fan of Little Princess But songs like Reverse Ideology, Star Striped, and Pure Furies sound like very polished versions of songs from the PCB era. If anything, I'd say that TH15 was a highlight in ZUN's musical progression, as it most acutely demonstrates his melding of the UFO styled atmospheric soundtrack, and the pre-MoF, heavy verse and refrain based stuff.

Chinese Tea, Sepette, Even Tomboyish daughter had really well written refrains that just suffered from being in the hands of an inexperienced compositor. The general feeling from that Era is that ZUN had SO MANY cool ideas, but struggled to fit them into only so many tracks, resulting in the songs sounding overloaded and chaotic. You could pick out all of the verses from Sepette, and made them into like 5 cohesive tracks.

I do think they're overrated, but there's little glimmers of gold in the pan. Zun's inexperience, especially with broader, non-midi soundfonts, just shows really hard.

>>16980961
MoF is, I'd say, the game with the LEAST bad songs. Or rather, the most balanced soundtrack. It's really good at establishing this cohesive mood throughout. Nitori's theme flows really well into Autumnal waterfall, it's almost like they're different sections to an Opera.

The other side to this is that there's little diversity. Most are written in the same key, share similar progressions and a lot of the same instrumentation. It almost feels like playing one, very long stage, rather than 6 separate stages. The songs feel less like reflecting the characters, than the characters in the context of MoF. Compare that to, say, PCB, or EoSD, or even DDC where with every new track you get a completely different sense of what the music's trying to accomplish.

Now, whether a more cohesive soundtrack is a good thing or a bad thing is up to the listener. You could make cases for either side.

Summer and Autumn Subshots both are pretty spammy. You can keep using them over and over to regain your resources and basically cheat tons of tough patterns.

Doesn't help that since the demo has SO many stream nons and spellcards, they both help a ton with that.

Autumn is even worse than summer tho since with it you can just run into patterns and gain a ton of resources to keep doing it over and over again. Reminds me of MarisaB's bombspam from DDC desu.

>This is a completely awful analysis. His melodies have drifted miles away from where IN was. Polished versions of the PCB era? What the fuck, did you just type some random words that sounded like a critical inspection?

Well, I thought I justified myself a bit, but let me elaborate. The reason I say that LoLK reminds me of PCB era music is for three main reasons.

The instrumentation is very PCB era, featuring an array of glockenspiels, pianos in the forefront, and airy synths in the background, with a healthy dose of ZUNpet, unlike UFO or TD. Listen to Doremy's theme and tell me you don't get major PCB stage 3 or stage 4 vibes - the synths are very similar.

The boss themes in LoLK tend to jump between three of four main refrains, (UFO and TD rarely have more than two) with a lot of shifting between major and minor pentatonic scales. Clownpiece is probably the best example here.

And finally, the harmonies he plays with are generally a mix of rising notes and arpeggios, which is very similar to pre-IN music, but not so popular post MoF.

But unlike PCB era music, ZUN doesn't rely on Arpeggios nearly as much, he's mastered mixing and soundfonts a lot more so that the ZUNpets don't sound like an earsore, and he's diversified his melodic bridges into more than just a series of eighth notes played in rapid succession. But he's also very concerned about the texture of the sound and the atmosphere it creates, like UFO. So yeah, I stand by the idea that it's a blending of past and present.

>>16981007
Some of them are quite nice, but they have their share of bad tracks too. Especially earlier ones. Most of the time they sound experimental. Really good ideas marred by poor execution. If you can enjoy the concept itself - more power to you, there's nothing wrong with that.

Reverse Ideology has jackshit in common with anything before UFO. LoLK's instrumentation is electronic, PCB's is faux organic. LoLK is much more rhythmic with the kick. The appegios have nothing in common with how he used them in EoSD-IN. If you're going to call ZUNpets an easier then you simply don't understand what he was creating up until SA/UFO

>>16981047
>Septette has an introduction, the melody, and then what basically amounts to improvisation.
If you play a couple of chords, then jump to something completely different, then that's not really an introduction. There's no effort to ease the main melody in, the introduction feels tacked on. Something like, say, the introduction to Beethoven's 5th has a similar refrain, but the very last instance leads into the melodic body seamlessly. Here, the "introduction" just ends... and that's it. No attempt is made to bridge the two parts.

And the improvisation... kind of sounds very amateurish. It's just a series of random pentatonic eighth notes. There's no real sense to them, and even improvisations, or actually here it's more of a breakdown, tend to have a bit more complexity and variety in terms of note length. It's not terrible, but I'm not going to listen to that string in the same way I would, say, a Jazz improvisation.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Sepette is a bad song, it's actually a personal favorite. It's a set of great ideas that, like many EoSD tracks, is marred by poor understanding of the software and music theory.

>>
>>16981121
>Reverse Ideology has jackshit in common with anything before UFO.
The liberal ZUNpet use, the strong melodic focus, and the heavy repetition are more similar to Pre-UFO than post. As well as the electric guitar. Actually, kind of reminds me of a IN era track.

Obviously it's not exactly the same, ZUN has really improved as a composer since then. But there are definite similarities and notes. In addition, that key shift halfway through was pretty common in IN, PCB, and SA, but very seldom seen in UFO and TD.

>LoLK's instrumentation is electronic, PCB's is faux organic.

That's a weird thing to say. Electronic music tends to explore more timbre than pitch, which is true for UFO and TD but certainly not for Seija's theme.

Still, I'd have a hard time calling Youmu, Yuyuko, or Yukari's themes "organic," with how heavy the synths are.

I will agree that for PCB in particular, the thing that really ties it all together is the emphasis on Piano and Harpsichord sounds.

>LoLK is much more rhythmic with the kick. The appegios have nothing in common with how he used them in EoSD-IN.
Well, to some extent. He uses them a lot less to bridge verses now, but in both cases repetitions of three-note rising chords and arpeggios are used to form the harmonic backing. Although I guess EoSD did that a little more than PCB.

>If you're going to call ZUNpets an easier then you simply don't understand what he was creating up until SA/UFO

making history != good
Even Mozart wrote bad tracks sometimes. It's like saying everything Shakespeare wrote was gold. They're only human, they make stupid shit too.

I mean, I'm not here to impose any opinion. Just because tracks have flaws don't mean they're bad, per se. I'm still partial to songs like Alice in Wonderland, and that one had a whole slew of issues. It's more about understanding what distinguishes ZUN's periods and styles in different games. Nothing about objective quality judgement.

Spring adds a few homing things, Marisa's all focus behind her to fire straight lasers, Cirno's spread all over the place and Aya's adds birds that make your range slightly wider. That's the idea I got from one playthrough with each anyway.
By the way, am I missing anything about the fall sub-option? Its release looks just like a weaker version of summer's one because it consumes all 6 bars at once and lasts for barely any time at all.
>>
>>16981207

The trick is to use it, run inside a bunch of bullets and run back to safety. That'll give you enough resources to get at least a level 1 fall release, so you can basically spam it constantly.

Goes without saying it works better in higher difficulties.

That's the thing though, his themes tend to be so slow because his preferred method of creating tension and an intimidating atmosphere for his bosses tends to be through giving them slow, heavy elements to their themes. Junko is a major example of this.

Doremy's extremely unusual for him not only because of the overall pace to her theme, but also because he ramps tension in her song by increasing it's pace, which is usually the exact opposite of what he does.
>>
I'm REALLY liking this game. The art feels like a more refined version of the DDC style, the music uses instruments from all over the place in an amazing way, there are no stupid gimmicks, the shot type stuff is really cool, and the new 2hus are fucking adorable.

The only thing I'm wondering about is hobo Sakuya. She has boobs and no hat? Very confusing.

Maybe I'm just excited, but I really do think this could be the best in the series if the rest of the game lives up to the expectations based on the demo that I've set.

>>16981269
In comparison to LoLK's demo, this is a cakewalk. Admittedly, it is kinda hard for me to track all the leaf pickups, but the danmaku patterns aren't that had to wade through. Fuck curved lasers, though.

What does releasing your nature do exactly? Do you just get a small shield for a while or is there more to it?

>>16981259
It's easy for survival, to score you likely have to get up close to shit to place your Releasable.

Curved lasers is the easiest attack in the entire demo. It's not even curved by the time it reaches the bottom

>>
>>16981269
Have you tried pressing the C button? Because it gives frequent invincibility frames + score bonuses that will give you more lives.

What's the optimal way to use it though? As soon the first bar gets filled in the nearest cloud of danmaku?
>>
>>16981279
Still not entirely sure about how that mechanic works. I'll wait for a translation, I guess.
>>
>>16981278
Each shield seems to have its properties, although I haven't experienced enough with them to full understand everything. Winter's one seems to stay on place for some time, summer's only costs one bar, and fall's follows you.
>>
>>16981290
I'm the same guy who posted about how he hates C earlier. It's really irritating having to stretch my finger over to C from X. TD gave me the same issue but TD definitely *felt* easy to me.

>It's really irritating having to stretch my finger over to C from X

That's true, but since the deathbombing time here is relatively large I just keep my finger on the C, which is basically a bomb that refills every 5 seconds and there's no reason to not use it as soon there's a problematic danmaku pattern even though you aren't in danger.

That won't probably be ideal for score plays but.
>>
>>16981300
TD probably felt easier cause you didn't need to do it more often and usually planed when to do it ahead of time. This is annoyingly requiring you to do it with the same reflexes you'd use to Flash Bomb in Len'en. (though thankfully this game is easy enough to not have to worry about it too much rather than building the game around it or I might have to stop playing on a keyboard for this...)
>>
>>16981278
They all absorb bullets to increase your point item value. The effect varies depending on which one you have though. Fall increases your speed and follows you, winter increases your damage, and summer only uses one option at a time like SA alice.
>>
I feel like getting high scores will involve constant chargers to the boss to place your Release right where most bullets spawn

Does LoLK also have the same custom.exe settings as this one? I've been holding off on playing games older that Great Fairy Wars because of my horrible 10 fps experience.

I just realized that my toaster >>16981298 could play this th16 demo on 20 fps on the lowest settings, so I was wondering if I can play LoLK on this as well.
>>
>>16981408
All games since DDC seem to have the same engine, and the custom.exe hasn't changed since MoF, so you can most likely use the config file for one of those games on this one after renaming it to the correct name.

>>16981421
Thanks, anon. Subterranean Animism runs worse than this demo even on the lowest settings, so I guess the engine improved if your words are correct.
I don't know if I only managed to get 20 fps because of the fact that it's just a Demo though. It might run worse on the full versions.

Autumn Marisa is the best in my opinion.

Good ol' Marisa laser + very long master spark + the autmun gimmick that when activated lets marisa run across the whole screen clearing so many danmaku, and since it's so easy to ram into many danmaku this way the bar recharges very fast. You can pretty much cheese most spell cards too.
>>
Not sure why i'm getting 30 fps. Thought it was some weird vsync issue on fullscreen but it's still 30fps even on windowed.
>>
Is there any real reason not to constantly use your releases during boss fights? You get it back so fast.
>>
So, whats the ingame explanation of Cirno being tan?
>>
>>16981494
Mysterious powers powering up fairies
>>
>>16980907
Cirno's is probably Winter, ironically. She really needs that beam to make up for her shitty spread.
>>
>>16981422
Winter is like Summer except you blow the whole load on a button press
>>
>>16981541
Muh pew pew laser tho
>>
>>16980907
I'm enjoy Winter Marisa and Aya a lot so far.
>>
>>16981541
Yeah but you get a strong laser, while winter has a terrible shot type, it's better suited for Reimu in my opinion.
>>
Jesus Summer Cirno feels so weak compared to the others. No homing, doesn't clear as quickly, and slow to boot. Her only saving grace is that her release is almost like a second bomb pool. Almost.
>>
>>16981595
Well she's just a fairy that has gone berserk due to season incident like all those enemies you defeat.
>>
>>16981157
>>16981162
Wait, none of you realised ZUN ripped off a fripside song for Doremy theme?

>>
>>16981595
Many people complained about Cirno being playable in a main game because of powerlevel autism, so there you have a crappy shot compared to the rest.
>>
>>16981595
Still a better shot type than solo Alice or Sakuya in IN so Cirno > them
>>
>>16981610
But is she as amazing as MarisaB in UFO?

I miss Marisa's lasers that penetrates the enemies.
It's like water gun at this point.
>>
It's weird that Reimu doesn't have her needles in HSiFS when she always had it in previous games.
>>
Why does Reimu need to kill youkai over this?
Wouldn't permanent seasons in defined areas be a good thing?
>>
>>16981664
Not for the way things are normally. She's a Shinto priest. With Shinto, excitement and change is generally to be looked down upon as it's deemed inherently wrong. Or I could be wrong with what I heard about that.

Either way, it fucks up the balance of how things are SUPPOSED to be and in a very brazen manner therefore it can fuck off.

Tried playing a bit on Lunatic and I can complete the first level not dying once by spamming the fuck out of the Release skill. You get so much of it on Lunatic. The first group of fairies can already get you 1 release.
>>
>>16980251
Works on my machine.

Does anyone have music rip?
>>
>>16981450
>Good ol' Marisa laser
I don't remember her laser being non-penetrating garbage.
>>
>>16981785
Try playing any game before MoF.
>>
>>16981781
The game uses .dat files, so we'll have to figure out what kind of .dat file it is and then get software that can open that kind of .dat file.
Then we could grab it. Anybody wanna help?
>>
>>16981895
Ah nevermind, I'm retarded.
>>
>>16981827
So it's not good then.

It's in FLAC by the way, but I could make a compressed version if anybody wants that too.
Includes all tracks that you could import via the BGM file.
>>
I just died because the sub bomb couldn't keep up with the spam even though the bar was filled, seems you need to wait like one second after the previosu expires anyway.

>>16982049
Thank you, I prefer 320kb mp3 but I'll just convert them on my own
>>
>>16982254
Yeah, you need to wait a really short time before you can bomb again. Otherwise Summer would probably bee too broken.

Is it the same old boring enemies and graphics as usual?
Is the difficulty hard enough to make up for infinite bomb spam and bullet cancelling?
Not worth playing if it doesn't have 1.5 of these two.

What's that?

They're both fairies.

i.e: butterfly's gonna be in Hirasaka's fairy manga.

I just don't know why out of the hundreds and hundreds of youkai to work with, he keeps using fairies and yin yangs as enemies. There are games from 1992 that have more enemies in the first stage than zun puts in an entire game.
>>
>>16983052
Cause those youkai are future bosses/manga characters.
>>
>>16983052
Drawing new sprites is work and ZUN hates that.

>>16983052
You can leave anon

>>16982923
Etarnity is a fairy? That's really cool. So is she the fairy of butterflies or of something else?

Man, LoLK was 2 years ago, huh?

ZUN's visit to Atlanta affected him more than we thought

Opinion Discarded.

When did ZUN visit Atlanta?

ZUN went to AWA in 2013

I agree it should have been more drum-heavy, but it definitely does have more drums than the average Touhou track. I don't think there's any other Touhou theme with a drum solo.
>>
>>16980715
Flatly incorrect. Golden age is 7 through 11 inclusive.
>>
>>16984930
I'd disagree with 9 being good at all and 11 is notably worse than 7-10, but those three are by far the best in the series
>>
>>16984930
This. 7, 10, and 11 had the best atmosphere by far too.

>DDC first stage: shit.
Regardless of anything else I can't forgive this. DDC has the best Stage 1 theme of any Touhou game besides maybe SoEW and PCB.
>>
>>16984910
Chiyuri's theme has one.
>>
>>16983345
What the fuck
What the actual fuck
Time goes by so fucking fast holy shit

I generally agree with you but fuck off, there's nothing wrong with UN Owen Was Her, and while most of the music CDs are eh there's standouts like Magical Astronomy and Dr. Latency.

>having to stretch my finger over to C from X
The way I position my hands has my index finger over the C key even in games without any functionality for it. I always put my pinky on the shift key, ring on Z, and middle on X. I think it's a holdover from the way I play games with WASD.
>>
What's the theme of this game?
>>
>>16986205
Seasons
It's in the name anon c'mon
>>
>>16986226
Yeah I saw Lily White, but still not convinced.
>>
>>16986279
People have already translated the foreword to the story.
>>16983690
Each of the four characters also has four different shottype variants based on the four seasons that add different Options to their regular shot.
