Will the Border Team be as ridiculously broken in FMW3 as they are in IN? Stay tuned!

You know, i'm a little disappointed that Scarlet team and Ghost team will probably get less emphasis than the other two teams because although Magic team gets the best line in the game I think Ghost team has the best dialogue overall. I just want to see Yuyuko and Youmu's epic midnight snack tour across the land.

https://twitter.com/playismJP/status/498698271666106369 So, it's finally public. ZUN is going with Playism as a digital distributor for the official games. Playism's site immediately crashed, but you can probably expect the english announcement soon when they come back up.

Seems like a pretty logical choice to me, since they've been the biggest domestic force in making Japanese games available online. Now to see how the translations are being handled...

Even though I'm sure Carpe Fulgur said they wouldn't do it (though I can't remember where the exact quote was, something about a legal minefield) I think those guys would have the best localization.

I don't think he's planning on translating it, he's just gonna let us buy it in Japanese with a translated config menu. Well, that's my theory anyway. I believe the story is that he heard anecdotes about people paying high shipping prices to import the games and thought they were being ripped off by the middleman so he decided to make it easier.

He already basically announced this a few weeks ago by casually mentioning it on his Twitter with no fanfare at all.

Touhou is his baby (well, that and his other, real baby) so he doesn't want to have to take it on faith that someone else did a good job with it. He can't exactly verify the quality of the translation himself. ...these are my impressions of him from the kinds of things he's written before.

Labyrinth of Touhou 2 apparently now has a full English translation. Seems like it's still just a release candidate - people are nitpicking it right now - but give it a couple of days and it should be good.

Yeah, Evasion works. It's actually got a lot of really nice mechanics and unique gimmicks amongst the characters, too, and a class system you can use to further customize people. The tradeoff is that it's a lot easier - and I mean a whole lot easier except for some difficulty wall bosses. It's much more a case of breaking the mechanics as hard as you can for the sake of fun, rather than slogging through the grind. Anyway, this patch is apparently the last patch they're going to be doing for v1.203, because the expansion (with the only knowns so far being playable Shou and Futo, I think?) is supposed to be hitting at C86.

Localisation seems like a thoroughly sensible move - I mean, presumably there are a fair few other Japanese indie developers ZUN can talk to if he wants to find out how good Playism are or aren't, so it wouldn't be blind faith at least - but I'm not betting on it for the reasons Clarste mentions. I'd be kind of torn if it happened, since I've already imported DDC and it's perfectly playable without the translation. Still, hopefully it'll do well enough for Impossible Spell Card to go online at some point. It'll be interesting to see what (if anything) will happen when/if the next main Touhou game comes out, whether it'd go online at the same time it's available at doujin outlets or if it'd come out later.

DDC is already up on the Japanese side of Playism's store, set to be released in two days. Nothing is showing on the English side, so he just might be making us buy it via their Japanese site.

So if DDC is up on Playism, and purchaseable in the States, does that mean that doujin groups can sell their games overseas, too? e: Specifically referring to Touhou fangames, yeah. By which I mean, specifically referring to Fantasy Maiden Wars. Quinn2win fucked around with this message at 19:51 on Aug 11, 2014 |

They have been, almost everything on Playism is from a doujin group. There are a lot more of the games on Steam, and there's a Humble Bundle right now of doujin games. edit: If you mean the fangames, I actually don't know. They should be able to be sold, since they already digitally distribute a few via Melonbooks.com (which you can buy from with a US card.) An example is Labyrinth of Touhou 2, which also has a demo, and there's a bunch of others there. Karasu Tengu fucked around with this message at 19:54 on Aug 11, 2014 |

Some 3d modelers also sell MikuMikuDance resources through melonbooks; Montecore's popular TD cast models spring to mind. As far as I can tell the free demo versions are fully functional and have similar terms of use to most free models; I guess the paid versions come with alternate textures or more slider options or something.

Hivac posted:So is LoT2 also a horrible massive grindfest like the first one was? Not nearly as much. If you're clever with setups (also secretly get Kasen) you'll never need to grind. There's far more customization too. Honestly, I think even the first game wasn't that bad if you weren't planning on doing optional/post-game stuff. I mean, I've seen a few videos or playthroughs with low level or "weaker" characters being used without too much trouble (obviously it's not optimal).

A big thing about LoT1 is that the creator actually intended you to fumble around for a fairly long time trying to figure out the floor puzzles on your own(and thus fighting through mobs on the way), so if you use a walkthrough and go straight from point A to point B you can end up pretty underleveled. None of the main game stuff requires you to be really high leveled besides maybe the last two or three bosses if you're not good at coming up with clever party setups.

Remember that if you don't have your computer in Japanese locale, the game will crash like his did since it's a non-unicode program and the directory name becomes invalid gibberish.

No, you only need to extract the download-file, and rename the directory in it to something simple. No Japanese locale required. I'm on a Swedish system, so maybe there is something extra unicode:y going on there I'm not aware of though.
