In the meantime, the English translation patch for the third part, Eternity, has been completed as much as we're able and willing.

>>16986042
Is it compatible with the latest version? The 1.2.0 one?

>>16986084
Yes, it is up-to-date with the current patch.
Enjoy Cirno being able to use Strike!

They are going full Super Robot Wars and making an OC to be the final boss.

Either that or Seihou Yuuka which appeared on the 2nd trailer will be the final boss.

>>16986971
That would be ridiculous, but not the worst thing.
Though I think it would be incredibly silly to have the final boss start out as a bonus boss who then becomes an event boss who then becomes a party member before looping back.

To be fair, almost everyone drops Nitori as soon as you get out of FMW1.

Oh man, I should play 2 and 3. Kou was pretty good, I can only imagine it gets better with the newer SRT mechanics.

Route A deals with Nue
Route B deals with Medicine
Roube C deals with Kogasa

You can do them in any order you want although I expect most people to do B last.

>>16989883
The one that fucks me up really bad is the A route. I only use the Palanquin Ship, Reimu and Mokou outta all those units.

>>16989940
Seriously? You don't use Mokou, Daiyousei, Youmu, Kiene, Ran or Mystia?

>>16990001
>>16989940
Er, sans Mokou, but really?

>>16990001
Not to mention Yukari and Yuyuko, who are among the best units in the game.

>>16989940
I can understand Alice's route because she has an incredibly large amount of the bad/power creeped characters but not Reimu's. Oh well, at least you can just use sub-orders and train them up between missions.

>>16990001
I replaced Daiyousei for Lily White. Youmu is has no range and waste too much MP on her attacks, Keine sometimes I used her to give Mokou some stat bonus, instead of Mystia I used the Prismrivers since I can buff morale, stats and debuff enemy morale with Lunasa's seishin and MAPW. Aside from Yuyuko my team consists of all these, ignore the order though since they are randomly sorted in this pic (this is FMW3 btw).

>>16990086
How do sub-orders and the other new mechanics work?

>>16990105
>Youmu has no range
Youmu has a max range of 6 which is far from no range. Her biggest problem in 3 was being an en hog like Marisa and the Prismrivers and not getting a damage spirit of her own as yet (so you needed to pair her with someone that had Triumph and/or Fury such as Reisen).

>>16990001
Eh Keine isn't very good in 3 and Youmu kind of falls off at the very end although she's still a very good damage dealer before then.

>>16990107
Sub-order works like in SRW. Pick some benched characters to give them EXP and PP.

>>16989458
Hah. It's a reference to the time in early Gurren Laggan when Kamina throws Simon at Viral.

I thought it might be the case, but when the attack misses and Kisume turns around seals it,

>>16989377
>Giving Murmasa a combo attack with the ship
>Not making it a METEOR reference with a giant anchor.

Disappointed Sanbondo.

>>16990102
I think the ability to change difficulty after finishing a run was something patched in later from the 2nd game onwards. 1st game didn't have that feature unless the newest patch retroactively added it.

>>16990086
Alice does have a lot of lackluster characters, but she also has Flan, China, Eirin, the Prismrivers, and of course Alice herself. Shouldn't be too hard to get a functional team out of that.

>>16990470
I'll probably just load her up with Counter or something. Alice has a ton of SP laying around thanks to Marisa.

>>16990001
Don't sleep on Shou, either. I haven't really even fed her and Nazrin hard and she manages to be one of my top 5 units in the game, which speaks even more considering she costs less than the other 4 in the list. Grit is seriously broken and her damage output with Nazrin supporting her for that +10% damage from her pair-up attack is nuts.

This game looks good. Is it turn based strategy ala advance wars?

Should I start from the first one?

>>16991027
It's literally a Super Robot Wars clone.

The Buddhists were so so in 2 and 3 but they got a huge buff in 4 since they scale very hard with Will/Power thanks to the revamps that their personal got which changed Melee/Def/Hit up for raw percentage buffs.

>>16991049
Never gotten in that series since I'm not a mecha person. 2hus though... Guess i'll start with 1. I wanted to scratch an srpg itch.

It's even based off the Z1 incarnation of Final Dynamic Special (My personal favorite one)

>>16991104
How strong is Final Baka special?

>>16991217
The strongest.

>>16991104
>7000 dmg x4
depending on how much EN consumes, that Baka special is pretty good

>>16991295
Ehhh Mystia at least has better things to be doing than just attacking.

And looking at the video it costs 35 MP, and that's from each Baka.

Anyone have links to the previous games?

>>16991306
Is not that bad but to make it useful implies that you actually use the bakas and they all should have MP Save at least. Which I guess aside from Mystia nobody use them at all.

>>16991340
Wriggle is the weakest one. Cirno has +10% damage as a personal or is borderline unhittable if you use her friendship passive with Dai.

Rumia frees up Meiling to go with Sakuya or someone else while she enables Flandre/Remilia to use stuff other than Parasol outside of night time stages. Not to mention that she doubles as a will down bot.

>>16987441
Nobody likes the kappajew.

Even FMW4 drops her the second it finishes with her. Oh hey FA Nitori gets a upgrade event and a brand new attack! Finally maybe she'll be usable-.....
https://p.fuwafuwa.moe/qlnjox.webm

[1/1 ammo, 3800 pwr]

Ahahahahaha...

>>16991295
It's actually not that good the base power of the attack is 3700, when you consider Yamame costs the same as any of the Bakartet and doesn't require you to deploy the whole group and has a 3600 pwr finisher it's pretty mediocre.

However that is the incomplete Bakartet Special the true Final Bakartet Special is unlocked near the end game so I don't know if it gets a significant power boost.

>>16991525
You'd probably get more bang out of your buck by giving Cirno the +cost item than trying to use the Bakatet Special.

>>16991525
>[1/1 ammo, 3800 pwr]

What skill should I pick for Mokou? I have an extra slot now but I got everything that she needs already, maybe Morale+(Defeat)?

>>16991927
Go for reduced graze damage, it's handy for managing her health.

>>16991927
I went with Predict, Graze, WLB and Morale +Kill. Evasive units really like the graze damage reduction since you want to conserve SP for your damage spirits and it makes Yuuka's auto graze field less annoying.

Utsuho's pretty darn strong although the heat mechanic means that you'll probably only be able to squeeze out about 3 Abyss Novas before she cripples herself for the rest of the of map.

>Nuclear bird doesn't have a MAPW

>>16992160
She does but her Heat gimmick is really limiting especially when she already sucks up EN at ridiculous rates.

>>16992177
Really strong but Reimu, Marisa, Flandre and probably a couple others will beat her thanks to personal skills or spirits. Okuu's annoyingly blind so she has no choice but to use the +40% Hit one.

>Murasa has S rank in water
>and a PS that gives +30% evasion underwater and +30% damage to underwater enemies
>still doesn't get to show off because water is so rare
Somewhere out there, Benkei is crying.

>>16992211
She would have been really darn great if you had her for the Nitori stage but since you don't all she's really good for with that one is killing Kappas.

Utsuho isn't really that strong but I like her enough to keep using her.
While I don't use attacks that raise the heat she can keep the buffs, right?

>>16992631
Abyss Nova has a fairly high base power and it works with Shotgunning which is why I called her strong. I think its something like 4800 at 5 bars which is higher than stuff like Final Spark.

>>16992656
>Shotgunning
I knew I was forgetting something. Forget what I said before, she's pretty strong.

I don't know how I fucked that up. It IS the final phase.

72 - Hisoutensoku
73 - True Bakatet Special

76 - Vs. Meeko, Reimu and Marisa get a new combo at the end

7 Spellcards.

Holy shit this is going to be one hell of a fight, wait are those SS ranks?

That...isn't very fair...not even SRW has even done anything beyond S ranks.

>>16991927
I find Moukou also appreciates Pattern Type if you can fit it the ability to Counter and wipe the hell out mooks before they can even move works since Mokou does have the power to do it.

She doesn't really have the defenses or HP to pull off grazing so it's better to try pull a budget Sakuya.

>>16993489
Instinct 9, Graze Damage down and Predict should let her handle herself pretty nicely outside of enemies with ridiculous accuracy like Okuu at the end of 3.

>>16993449
SS ranks have been a thing since FMW2, though no one has had them naturally and they're rather hard to get - they're the result of stacking S Night (or, in FMW4, the adaptation spirit) on top of a natural S rank.

>>16986042

Also Kogasa's finisher is adorable
https://p.fuwafuwa.moe/mdtpak.webm

A question about the WP in Alice's Route, does graze damage count?

>>16994653
It says in the descriptor that graze doesn't count, so basically if numerically the enemy never gets a 'hit' by getting rng to match their hitcount then you pass the objective.

>>16993026
so how is the rooster for the final stage? those stats seem pretty damn intimidating

>>16995033
There's no cost limit so you can actually use every deployment slot. The biggest problem will be making sure that you cycle enough of a backline once you're out of the route split part early on.

>>16995056
otherwise you will end up with shitty underleveled units right?
seems harder than the Okuu fight of the last game

>>16995065
The hardest part will probably be deciding who gets the 1 range spots since there's a lot of characters who do really darn well with Shotgunning or have 1 range finishers.

They're basically the Bronze and Silver Emblems from Z2 and onwards in SRW.

Any footage of Reimu and Marisa's new combo attack (the N-TD one) and Meiling's new attack?

Eh, Yuuka wasn't too bad although a boss with Bunshin, Shield and increased proc rates is just a huge pain in the ass due to the sheer RNG and I don't even think Direct Hit/Fury stops her from activating her shield.

Mima's new finisher seems a mix of both R-Gun Rivale and Shurouga.
https://my.mixtape.moe/cxwhev.webm

Likewise Alice's seems to be both DX's G-Bit attack + Mazinger's hundred rocket punch. Also I'm pretty sure at this point it's bugged too, since the finisher theme doesn't play normally and seems like it was meant to be a dynamic kill.

Really most of the older units that didn't get updates are all horribly outclassed at this point, though most of them did. Then you have those who did and still are outclassed, I think even Elly and Kurumi got a new attack, but nobody cares about them.

>>17001640
Sorry to say, she pulls a Shu/Granzon.

She is the penultimate boss of the game and a last chapter join basically.

>but recently branpresto finally fixed it and i mean completely, not W tier.

W had PoD Gai you can't fucking top that.

>>17001659
Yes you can, they fixed Yurika (much earlier this time) and make her stop Akito from doing his edgy "but now i must go because crawling my skin!" bullshit.

>>17001657
What's Youmu's final spirit? I hope that its Soul since I prefer to use her over Mokou since she carries a better spirit set and isn't that much weaker.

>>17001659
Yeah you can. By finishing its plot early enough for you to use him for over half the game instead of just 2 stages.

>>17001657
I'll be really disappointed if Mima doesn't get a Messenger from the Void remix

>>17001671

Sanae got back her MAP attack from the second game. But it consumes a ton of faith.
I'm not so sure about Kanako and Suwako.

Though I believe Kanako defensive capabilities got buffed.

So what game plots did they use for this? Seems like:

-SA Extra
-PofV
-SWR
-UFO
-Mystic Square
-And a bunch of OC stuff

>>17002483
Sanae in lv 60 gets a skill that makes her start with max Faith. If you use the Moriya gods with the skill that makes them receive boosts from Sanae they get pretty good.

>>17002208
>Murasa gets more attacks
Sounds good to me. She does really well as long as you pair her up with Nue or Ichirin for the friendship bonuses.

Did Sakuya get any buffs of note whether its in personal skills or something? She was kind of borderline in 3 since you had to tank her damage just so that she wouldn't die horribly to bosses.

You must be doing something wrong because her Private Square skill should keep her alive. In fact, I use her with def support so she gives a free protection to some ally with no damage at all.

I can get Private Square to proc reliably but then she loses her damage from Time Paradox. Or the rng can just decide to not cooperate and I'd never see it proc even with Luna Dial 4.

>>17002633
No.

Sakuya is bar none the most screwed over of all the protags, she has nothing going for her. The only good thing ever had was back row Time Paradox in the first version of FMW3, but then they took that out.

Watch out for the spellcard where she summons shittons of mooks, she can fuck you over as that spellcard instead of ealing damage to your HP, it drains your MP..

Don't be afraid to waste your SP.
The final phase refills all your units HP, MP and SP to the max. (In the case of SP, it overfills it to 1.5 or 2x it's max capacity I can't remember very well)

Oh, and also the final phase is buggy as hell, some characters like Yuuka (mostly her finisher), awakened Byakuren and Hisoutensoku can crash the game.

Kill the generic enemies with the MAP attacks of Toyohime, Yorihime, Shinki and Sanae.

And for Makura, I hope you gave most of you WP to Marisa, Flandre, Mima, Yorihime or any other character with Soul or Valor.

You'll have to pretty much kill her as fast as you can. Otherwise she'll make your units pretty much useless.
You'll get all your MP snd SP back in the next phase anyway.

>Enable and Soul
She needs a ton of PP and SP to really take advantage of those though considering their costs.

>>17006540
Yuyuko by mid game has easily almost 200ish SP, she has the highest raw base SP in the game and a natural SP Up. Combined with at least two different PS both give her a means of SP recovery and by that point in the game you also have access to a item which can recover a solid 60 SP in one go.

If there is one thing Yuyuko doesn't lack it's SP.

>>17006564
Yeah but Enable is easily the most expensive spirit in the game so a single cast can really drain her SP even if its base is really high.

I'd be more keen on it if you could choose when you wanted to activate Extend.

SRW (and PxZ like games) are literally tge only tyoe if super crossover allowed to have OCs as final bosses. Trying to use a canon character from one of the series as final boss would only cause massive amounts of fighting between the fans because "my series character is better than yours".

>That Byakuren debut stage
It feels like I'm doing battle against Remi in FMW1 all over again.

>>17002633
At level 65 or something she gets a PS that lets her get two extra turns from the Continuous Move spirit.

Good luck actually getting her to make use of that though.

>>17007096
That's worse than Time Paradox though. They should have just given her Time Paradox 2 that reduced the skill requirement to 20 along with a minor stat buff. Youmu for example get a minor buff when she regained her MAPW in 65 since it also came with a range buff on Meditation Slash.

The Shinki chapter was far more epic than any midboss has any right to be. It was also kind of unintentionally funny how Shinki keeps upping the ante with each stage and Byakuren just simply powers up to match her blow for blow every time. Every single attack was amazing to watch.

She joins after the Byakuren stage right? Just one more stage to go til I can drop Sakuya because there's simply not enough space for her to be mediocre.

>>17007194
>They don't they bother
Because while they do have the information for most of those things, technical issues are a thing.

>>17005517
If I remember the Aki sisters actually have a hidden friendship bonus which spikes their damage to crazy levels as long you use the right Personal Skill and Shizuha's version of the comboes are shooting based so she can Shotgun.

Result is if you want to use them you can effectively run around with something like a permanent 1.7x damage boost.

>>17007194
They did bother.

Problem was it completely crashed the game because as it turns out Sanbondo coded things in a weird way where the game refers to the names of things rather than their actual entries in the later games. As a result attempting to translate those things actually break the game beyond repair.

>>17007237
How exactly do friendship bonuses work in FMW anyway? I'm wondering if its better to just stack them at all times especially if say Lunasa/Sunny can get the full effect when combined.

Does any character get something like curvy lasers? those were a big thing both in UFO and MS.

>>17007237
Friendship bonuses to damage don't go above ~50%, and the Aki sisters can't cap their friendship bonus anyway. I think they max out at around 15%, maybe 25% if you throw in their other friends as well. Which is still a very nice bonus, but not outrageously huge.

Sanae, on the other hand, can outright max her friendship level. It's not trivial - you need friendship-boosting personal skills, and need to keep her clustered up with Reimu, Suwako/Kanako, and the three tengu, but when you take Sanae's already good stats and stack +66% accuracy, +66% evasion, +51% damage dealt, -51% damage taken, and +51% crit chance on top, the results are truly miraculous.

>>17007244
A friendship is activated only by units directly adjacent to you and in the front of their team and whoever is in the back of your team. Once you pass +4 friendship you get damage/defense bonuses as well as evade/hit.

http://akurasu.net/wiki/Gensou_Shoujo_Wars/Friendship_Bonus

Realistically only a few units can really abuse them, Merlin comes to mind as another easy one. Equipping her with her friendship bonus then putting her adjacent to Lyrica and Lunasa with maybe Yuyuko or the 3 Fairies if they're nearby. You should find she hits almost as hard as the combined unit.

It's pretty much why the Prismrivers are the most damaging unit in 3 because you can have Lyrica force a support attack with her PS from a heavy hitter. Have Merlin follow up with an attack too which hits extremely hard due to friendship then combine and get another free attack with Lunasa. Or even more if she has support attack.

Only other notable ones I can think of are Flandre and Marisa and the PCB cast who have the means to really abuse their bonuses.

Basically it's more of a Lunatic mode thing where you need to squeeze out more damage.

>>17007294
Couldn't Cirno get a lot of out her friendship bonuses in 4 now that the FBS is a thing?

>>17007299
Possibly. Only way to know is to try it, there does seem to be shift in balancing Cirno more towards a leading damage role instead of a hard to kill support she was in previous games.

>>17007187
Shinki's last attacks reminds me supreme god Z's attack.

>>17007352
I haven't really used Mystia and Wriggle but I can confirm that Cirno is surprisingly capable for a 2.0. Her biggest problem is that her base power is on the lower end so she'll need to take the Cost Up item to bump it up.

"Makura" means pillow. The final boss is named pillow.

She's a baku who rules the dream world, so ZUN creating Doremy blew Sanbondo the fuck out more than anyone could have realized.

>>17007380
The final boss is a fucking baku? Couldn't be something mighty? Doremy herself is a joke that gets raped by hecatia and only remains relevant becayse people ships her wuth sagume (ironically, the person that draw hecatia raping her also ships them).

>>17007380
Goddamn, now that I remembered Junko and Hecatia, it makes me fucking wish Sanbondo reconsiders making more games covering Touhou 13-15 / Touhou 13-18 whenever that happens.

Seija, Shinmyoumaru, Clownpiece, Junko and Hecatia, could make extremely interesting bosses in the games.

Though they would probably have soft-reboot everything and retcon stuff from their story.
And also reset the levels and skills of the characters and start from zero again; as starting a whole new story with everything we have until now would be a massive balancing mess.

>>17007525
A soft reboot would be ideal. Probably start at 13 and GFW then go forward from there. Maybe we can get characters like Kasen too.

>>17007525
I would actually like 1-5

It's a bug caused by this item that gives you an extra move if you kill an enemy.
If you get an extra turn after using a Heat rising attack, it will reset. As you can see in >>17003513 The Heat bar shows the same number that you had before the attack.
But don't use a Heat rising attack for your second move because that one gets checked for real.
Here >>17007640 I used the MAP on my second move so it confirmed that I passed the limit and overheated.

tldr; you can spam Okuu's MAP once per turn without Heat penalties.

What's this?
Are they asking for a name of the group?

>>17007767
Yes.

Too bad it never comes up again.

>>17007525
I think they'd do a soft reset yeah. Maybe not retcon? It'd just be a sequel like any other SRW sequel, stuff happened and characters are still around but plenty are retired. I think returning people would be limited to people who actually appeared in the games they're covering (e.g. Sakuya, Youmu, Reisen), people who are easily relevant to them (pretty much anyone related to the Moon when LoLK rolls around, they'd definitely put the Watatsukis in that, Yukari's relevant to Kasen, etc).

I could maybe see really popular ones like Remilia, Utsuho, and Alice maybe making it back despite being ancillary but the likes of Mystia or the Akis would probably go into retirement, and unless Yuuka really gave Cirno the ultimate power anything PC-98ish wouldn't be around.

I hope Sanbondo moves on and does their own thing. Maybe make a definite version of the series that unifies the mechanics for a single play-through and lets you NG+ with every unit from the start, but...

Honestly I want to see where they go from here. They have tremendous talent and a clear passion, and Dream makes it clear they can easily handle making their own stuff.

FMW has kind of...reached a critical mass point anyways, and it kind of shows in 4. There's a plehtora of times where a older unit is given a new attack or ability with a meager explanation at best because they simply cannot handle that critical mass of units any longer, and a soft reset...well, it wouldn't really be FMW anymore, would it? The entire point of the story was have Gensokyo unify, in true super robot wars fashion, and they'd have to go to some serious pains to explain why many people aren't returning. Combined with the headache-inducing issue of "well then, whose waifus do we bring back..."


Well, Sanbondo made this the last game for a reason and I can respect that. It kinda makes me sound like a dumbass for saying this, but I'm happy they made their dream for us, and I wish the best of luck for them for whatever they do next, be it as a group or as individuals.

>>17007782
>Too bad it never comes up again.
I won't put much thought on this and I'll just call them ZEUG then.

also the cutscenes got out of fucking control early on in 3 and holy shit.

clarste put it best. "here’s to you, #1WriggleFan who cheers whenever Wriggle says “…”"

>>17007804
I just want them to make FMW Complete Edition and I'm good.

I don't think it'd be that hard to justify non-returners - a lot of them are just side characters that barely show up in even the more open print works. Nobody in the underworld leaves the place aside from Koichi who'd be around anyway, and there's a lot of random youkai and such who don't have much of a reason to get involved in the first place. Literally the most popular characters I could see 100% getting the shaft are like, Komachi and Eiki (and Komachi even hung out with Kasen early on so she might come back anyway).

There's a lot of stuff they could clear and a good natural break-off point. Hell, I think they have enough material as-is to make a somewhat smaller but more interleaved plot - I could see the faith war, the Miracle Mallet, and the appearance of frantic fleeing Lunarians all going on at once and then being resolved late in the game in that order.

They should probably wait to see if WaHH and FS end conclusively though, and if the Urban Legend incident actually gets resolved soon though.

>>17007804
They should at least make a FMW Complete Box before giving up on the series. There's quite a bit of stuff in 1, 2 and even 3 that could use some fine tuning using what they learned from 4.

I would like to see a FMW Gaiden that showcased the characters from the newer games but that probably won't happen.

>>17007825
I don't think anyone would complain if the majority of the Stage 1/2/3 or even some of the Stage 4 bosses dropped off the face of Gensokyo if they ever made a follow up game. Most of the actually relevant characters are from Stages 5 and 6 and there's certainly not enough of them to do even a FMW2 sized roster.

>>17007834
Literally the only 1-4s that have a good reason to show up are the ones that are actually in later games (which is just like, Cirno, Aya, and Nitori really), and maybe the UFO crew (faith war's as good a reason as anyway to give us a proper fight against them too!)

>>17007826
If they were doing a Gaiden game I'd actually be more interested in it covering the PC98 stuff.

There's another bug with the Continuous action spirit. You can only cast it one per turn but with the Prismriver trio if you use it, after you get the extra turn, separate them and combine again.
You'll be able to cast it that spirit again.

As a heads up Marissa route has the best upgrade stage.
Hell Marissa is flat out the best beat stick you can get.

Chapter 73 is giving me a headache. Being surrounded by shadow clones was bad enough, but then they throw in Yukari, Flandre, Yorihime,etc.

>>17008101
Marisa's upgrade event was great.
Reimu's upgrade was just Yukari going "Here, I made this for you" and that's it.

>>16996838
Good thing I dumped all of my points into Marissa.
>>17008122
That moment when the intro to Stardust Hero kicked in is legit one of the best parts of any SRW game I've played.
Seriously it's amazing how they made Marissa a better character than Reimu.

>>17008142
>All that build up with Mima
>That event where she saved Marisa in the Underworld
Reimu's route is so boring compared to Marisa's.

>>17008101
Seeing those nips on dialogue gets me trigerred after playing SRWV and OGMD.for EOP.

so cobu or Ibiza?

>>17008160
Both are great but I'll choose Ibiza because he turned "The Venerable Ancient Battlefield" into Jam Project's Rocks and Crossbone Murasa

>>17007187
You know. I had guessed that Shinki would be the final boss of FMW before they revealed the OG characters.

But man does she still look the part.

>>17005829
Just stick her in the back of a twin and cast Gain/Cheer on her until she catches up.

>>17008228
She isn't even near as tough a midboss as Kaguya in 3 was despite spamming reinforcements and MAP attacks like no tomorrow and basically having Kaguya+ skills/stats.

She is very squishy for some with a barrier, even Remilia is actually good in the Makai arc because the entire thing counts as night and she has a passive barrier break on her finisher.

Then you consider you recruit Byakuren at full power on the stage and she is basically a one woman army, it's incredible how much she can break everything with nothing but brute strength. Her damage output is easily on par with Marisa.

>>17008122
Reimu's upgrade stage is just set up for the event where she kicks Yorihime's ass.

>>17008510
Is it bold of me to say that I think Byakuren is hands down the strongest character in the entire series, ignoring join time? She has two sets of Spirits, with pretty much every single one of them being useful, good mobility, good armor, good Hp, super high damage output both up close and at a reasonable distance, and she also has the most kickass animations. Oh, and a very good barrier.

I mean, Reimu wins in the dodge game by a country mile, but she goes out like a light if she gets hit.

>>17008648
I think Reimu and Marisa kind of peaked in 3. They're still great characters but they don't stand out as hard anymore in 4 now that a lot of characters got upgrades/new characters on their level show up.

>>17008704
She told us so and we didn't listen and now everything is fucked.

>>17008648
I feel the same.

Byakuren is just completely off the charts insane, she pretty much waltzes up to bosses with complete disdain for any gimmicks or penalties and attacks on her turn whilst receiving minimal damage in retaliation between her insane HP/Def and barrier. As if that isn't enough she is really dodgy as well.

Reimu isn't even the dodgiest unit in the game anymore, Satori easily matches Reimu in the dodge game. Satori is arguably even better since she can copy any attack in the game irregardless of activation costs but with +400 more power. It does lead to the funny situation of Satori suddenly cloning herself and transforming when it comes to combinations. But used properly it's virtually like having TWO of any unit you want oh and she has Attune as a added bonus.

Not to say Reimu isn't still excellent, she does still have one of the best spirit sets in the game despite a bad SP base...her higher levels of Youkai Buster or S Sky rank do wonders.

But I went through the whole Shinki fight wondering when Reimu would ever get a turn to attack between Byakuren steamrolling her and fearing for Reimu's fragility. Ultimately Reimu never got a turn.

That is just nuts, normally when you get a new recruit you try have them hide out of the way so they don't kill themselves due to having no opportunity to upgrade them. Nope, Byakuren just dives in and slaughters everything without any customization on her debut needing nothing more than a occasional Faith/Replenish.

>>17008671
Marisa still has her use for burst damage, I still haven't seen any unit who can naturally reach 15kish damage without weapon upgrades besides maybe Flandre at full power.

>>17008845
I'm wondering if sticking Reimu with the Sky S Rank is more useful than Youkai Buster for her overall considering that its just what, 5% less damage in exchange for 10% more accuracy and evasion?

>>17008854
I'd like to compare that sometime, terrain ranks do mean a lot in this game after all. Most of the humans are pretty useless in Makai having to run a item slot or have their terrain rankings shot.

All I know is Dream is a really excellent meaty game and I am going to have so much fun in future replays breaking it. With how overpowered everything is, I feel like Dream might be designed around Hard/Lunatic difficulties now.

Saw some of their celebrations and tears through twitter, hope they do stick together

>>17008160
cobu. They're both amazingly talented, but at this point I think cobu is flat out my favorite Touhou fan musician. Ibiza tends to have better instrumentation choices in his arranges, and is remarkably good at melding bits of multiple songs into a cohesive whole, but cobu's tracks tend to be cleaner and catchier, not to mention generally more strongly evocative in cases where that's relevant - see every song from stage 55, for example.

>>17008185
Murasa's theme is an odd case. In-game it's credited to Ibiza, but IIRC the preview version from FMW3's soundtrack was listed as cobu's.

>>17008928
It could very well be a collaboration, it's not unusual for some to simply compose a song but then leave arrangement/instruments completely to someone else. cobu and ibiza do regularly like to remix/arrange each others tracks as evidenced by bonus tracks on the OST's.

The doujin scene has always had lots of talented remixers/arrangers but actually not that many good composers.

>>17008928
It's because Ibiza fixed it for FMW4, Cobu's Crossanchor Murasa is terrible.

>>17008959
That was my suspicion. While I fucking love most of cobu's work, there's a reason I called him out for having worse instrumentation. I figured Ibiza would have the good sense to avoid that awful synth in the melody.

>>17009083
Sometimes it's the other way around, I prefer Cobu's Price of life, it fits better the game (and makes the reference even more blatant)

Youkai Buster's still Reimu's best PS. That Sky S personal doesn't change Reimu's weapon terrain unfortunately so you'll have to give her that part for it instead.

Its a lot like Lelouch's ace bonus in SRW. If you luck shit some good ones like Valor, Soul or Direct Hit its pretty darn good. Saved me a couple times in Makai.

Which character had the best pre and post upgrade themes?
Reimu or Marisa?

I found and clipped the Final Baka Special from that guy who was streaming, it's pretty good. Appearance wise that is, its a 1 ammo attack (I think, I didn't pay too much attention) so even if you want to use it that's a definite once per stage, with only a few stages left. But as someone who loves the group I'll be sure to kill the final boss with it.

>>17009474

Reimu, but it's close.

Marisa by far.

Speaking of OST, what are standouts and what are some of the lesser ones?

I'm big into Medicine and Yumeko's themes but I couldn't help but be disappointed by Hijiri's, I was hoping for something really kickass action hero-ey but it's just sorta there.

>>17009900
I was disappointed by the Final Bakatet Special theme although that's probably because I was expecting them to make a parody of this one

>>17009900
I know what you mean, I had similar hopes for Shou's new theme. Ibiza's take on the song was one of the only FMW tracks that's ever left me outright disappointed, and played a significant role in my decision to bench Shou through the second and third games. I was holding out hope that she'd get a better arrange when the pagoda upgrade happened, and while the new theme is a definite improvement, it still doesn't capture the sheer majesty of the original. It's not a bad arrange by any means, but every time I hear it, I find myself wishing I could just give her the original song in its place.
