I rewatched the ending to check, and what do you know. Mima tells the person she's talking to that a bunch of people are coming to rescue her. I thought she was talking to Shinki before, but yeah that definitely seals it. Though I don't really know of any other ancient magicians from the outside world so I guess it might be an OC? Alternatively, super plot twist: it's Miko. EDIT: The more that I think about it, the more I think it works. It even gives everyone an excuse to fight Byakuren, they think she's Shiro!

I hope so. Like I said, Miko would be the best villain. Although, I don't know if she's really powerful enough to be final boss material. She's definitely got the style and personality for it but I don't if she's enough of a threat. I mean, she's not all that strong is she? However, they could just finish the main plot with her and then have Eiki come in to lecture everyone about how they're awful at their jobs and are going to Hell.

I remain completely confident, as I have since I beat FMW1 for the first time, that Byakuren and Shinki are just red herrings, and the final boss will be Sariel. Dunno if Shiro is Sariel, but she has no real characterization otherwise so it's not like they'd be contradicting canon too hard.

Just to compare notes, and I don't think it's worth tagging here - Shiro wants to protect Paradise. Going up to the moon is a bad idea because it invites trouble in paradise by poking a hornets' nest. Bringing in modern technology is a bad idea because it disrupts the harmony of paradise. Paradise must be protected and preserved at all costs, and that means eliminating all foreign influences. That word Paradise keeps getting thrown around, so either it's an OC, or it's a character that uses that term.

Edit: (Don't know whether this speculation should be spoiled but i'll do so just in case) Shiki might also fit as well, I suppose. From what I remember a lot of her lectures are based around how youkai should act like youkai and humans should act like humans, and everyone should just do their drat jobs so that the balance between youkai and humans can be preserved.

I honestly think they just changed their minds on who Shiro is midway through because their characterization was pretty different in FMW1 and 2. Come 3 they're suddenly a lot more... zealous. It's not Eiki because none of the hints Yuuka drops about Shiro's real identity apply. It's also not the Hakurei Shrine's patron figure because they didn't know who Reimu or Marisa were prior to FMW1.

Guys, guys, you're thinking about it wrong by going at it from a Touhou standpoint. If we think from an SRW standpoint, then it becomes obvious. It's Euzeth.

That's obviously her map sprite from the Yorihime event where Reimu learns Musou Tensei. In fact, it says so in the name. It's just so they can show her on the map with partially closed eyes.

I was wondering why Reimu didn't get a Power gated ability of some sort. Guess it'll be for next game, or a later patch.

I was wondering why Suika didn't learn her own Three Steps to Whatever ability when she met Yuugi. Why was she even forced into that battle anyway? It didn't seem like she did anything special in that fight. Or did I miss something? Edit: I just read the LP for the previous game, and maybe this was addressed in the thread at the time, but: BlitzBlast posted:The entire Queen of the Night thing isn't just a thinly-veiled metaphor of Sakuya's life. It's also the name of her theme in FMW2 (which is also the fourth and final bonus track on the FMW E OST). It's also, you know, Sakuya's name. It's a reference to the literal meaning of Izayoi Sakuya (ie: the name Remilia gave her). Izayoi means "16th Night" and Sakuya means "Blooming Night". So she is the flower that blooms once a moon. This is also why her POFV theme is called "Flowering Night". ...this is especially ironic because you called Remilia's naming sense boring when it happened earlier in the story. She set this whole thing up from day 1. That's fate for you. Clarste fucked around with this message at 15:28 on Aug 27, 2014 |

Dammit, I just figured out the joke behind Yuyuko's FMW3 BGM title. Edit: Also I just did Malice Cannon with Alice in front and I am pretty sure the logistics of the Twin Attack does not work at all. Pureauthor fucked around with this message at 15:57 on Aug 28, 2014 |

Twin Attacks are loving hilarious when you do combinations. Ran and Chen are even more  .I actually still don't get the joke.

Look at it this way, now you've got just enough time to finish LP'ing the rest of the games.  Also, the joke in Yuyuko's song title is that after her demotion to Stage 1 boss in TD it apparently became a joke that in the next game she will be demoted to nameless NPC, which is what 'Person A' refers to. So yeah, it's a dumb fandom thing. SyntheticPolygon fucked around with this message at 03:48 on Aug 29, 2014 |

In TD Youmu even remarks that she's just bored and killing time, plus her post-battle portrait is the same as pre-battle one to show she wasn't even trying whereas every other boss gets a ripped sleeve or something.

She wanted to revive whoever's soul it was sealed inside the tree, unaware that it was her own, I think is what was going on.

RadicalR posted:It's been forever and a day, but I forget why she was trying to make the tree bloom? Wouldn't something really bad happened if that occurred? The bad thing is that the youkai tree would invite people to death again. Also it would immediately kill Yuyuko again because of its death powers, except this time without her being the seal on the youkai tree she wouldn't even stick around as a ghost anymore. Basically reviving herself means killing herself in a really round-about way. But then her PCB bio also says her plan ends in "inevitable failure" because she can only bring death, not life, so her whole endeavour was basically pointless to begin with.

Death didn't really pass her by though. When she was alive she also had her death-granting powers, except as a living human she basically thought it was the worst thing and killed herself, then someone used her soul to seal the youkai tree that also had the power of granting death. The reason Yuyuko sticks around for thousands of years where ghosts normally fade away or move on or whatever is that she's effectively the seal, so she's stuck being a ghost. Also as a ghost she got a new perspective on death so now she figures hey, inviting people to chill at my manor is pretty cool.

Half the joke with PCB's plot is that Yuyuko's been dead for so long she's forgotten her own dramatic backstory and is thus about to do something really stupid.

Reimu was pissed that there was still a hole between this world and the Netherworld, Yuyuko told her that Yukari was the one who made the gate. So Reimu/Marisa/Sakuya barged into Yukari's place, but she was sleeping(Hibernating) at the time. So they beat up Ran and come back a few months later, beat up Yukari so Yukari promises to fix the problem. Judging by how the Netherworld is now a popular vacation spot in Gensokyo, I don't think that worked out.

Basically Reimu broke that big sky door to the Netherworld with her barrier-undoing power while going after Yuyuko, so now ghosts are gathering at her shrine because why the gently caress not. While Yuyuko and Youmu were at the shrine they mentioned they told Yukari to fix it, but she's still taking her winter-nap because spring never came, and instead her shikigami's mucking about in the Netherworld, so she just sends Reimu to deal with her because why the gently caress not.Dr Pepper posted:Reimu was pissed that there was still a hole between this world and the Netherworld, Yuyuko told her that Yukari was the one who made the gate.

So they beat up Ran and come back a few months later, beat up Yukari so Yukari promises to fix the problem. It's not known where exactly Yukari's place is. I think in the Phantasm stage she says it's somewhere on the northeastern border of Gensokyo but nothing more specific than that. Reimu just deals with Ran and Yukari as they're mucking about on the Netherworld stairs instead. Also from what I remember it's not months later so much as the following night.

Nyaa posted:Wasn't Yuyuko strong in PCB because she was powered by a Spring Season power charged Youkai Tree? I think asking this question means you're already thinking too much about power levels. Once you realize that stage placement does not correlate with who would beat who in a danmaku slapfight, a lot of things fall into place. For example, Extra bosses haven't been hyped up as being particularly strong since PCB, and ZUN stopped making excuses for Extra stage midbosses after Keine. In other words, he doesn't care, and neither should you.
