Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
There was already a whole thing about slugs in that chapter about snake bites. Kosuzu had a giant plush slug that she was praying too, she imagined her room covered in slugs, and some of the little incidental art in the omake for that volume that I just posted have her dressed up as a slug. My assumption was that Harukawa just found that really amusing.

Rinnosuke isn't exactly a fighter, even if his ability to extrapolate people to death is powerful.

Yeah, that's true, which is why SA would have been a better choice since he'd just be sitting somewhere else instead of actively fighting, unlike something like IN. I like The Boy and want to see him more.

But w/e it's not like any of Marisa's shot types in SA are any good, who plays as her anyway.

Somehow I can't remember that part, what chapter was that again?

I do because her dialogue is the funniest. Either you get her and Alice shooting the poo poo and comparing the whole thing to an rpg, Patchouli being the least helpful partner in existence and never even bothering to tell Marisa why she was told to go to hell, or Nitori being a huge loving rear end in a top hat and trying to convince Marisa to kidnap a bird so she can have nuclear power all to herself.

Don't get me wrong, Marisa is by far the best touhou and her dynamic with other characters is always the best. I just wish she actually played the best too.

Rinnosuke should have been one of Marisa's partners in SA. That would've been cool.

It's not like her friendship with Nitori ever actually comes up so he probably would have been a better choice anyway.

Patchouli and Nitori are Marisa's alternate partners because they both have an idea what's going on and want to use Marisa to handle it.

Marisa being selectable at all is actually pretty silly; like MoF, the framing of the plot only really makes sense for Reimu to go. And Reimu A at that.

Isn't the pre-game setup for SA done primarily from Patchouli's perspective as she tries to get Marisa to do poo poo? How does it not make sense for her to be there?

Marisa hears Reimu's heading off to Youkai Mountain and decides to cut her off and solve the incident first. :v:

I did like the character moment where Satori notes that Marisa is willing to take Alice at her word and if she says the geyser is a problem, then it's a problem and Marisa will stop it despite not really getting why.

Patchouli's shot type might have been good if there was a dedicated button for changing the formation, like how PoFV had three buttons you could use.

It's very rare for touhous to just unambiguously act like buddies (in the games at least), that it's pretty nice whenever it happens. It's one of the reasons I like IN and SA's writing the best because usually a few of the teams get a moment like that, in between them being jerks to each other. And also just because adding another character can spice up the conversations a bit as well.

I hope we get another of those sorts of games eventually. They're cool.

I'd imagine ZUN doesn't do them very often because they're several times harder to write. Although he also did UFO where the dialog changed for different shot types for no discernible reason, so who can say what goes on in the mind of a ZUN.

quote:

Pache "Well, the humans aren't going to do anything. At this rate we'll lose our initiative; is that what you want?"

Yukari "Hm, that's true... I suppose I have no choice, I can't let you all just do whatever you want again."

Pache "What do you mean, again... ? In any case, will you do something? You seem to know something about the underground."

Yukari "No, I can't do anything. Only humans can go to the underground.
Besides, this might be a trap to draw us in."

Yukari promised only to send Reimu to investigate, with youkai staying behind to act in a support role.

You might be thinking of IN's Magic Team prologue.

Anyways you can sorta justify all the other routes (Yukari got lazy and had Suika take over, Aya requested to take over, Alice was worried and got Marisa to do this independently, Patchouli figured Yukari wouldn't do poo poo and asked Marisa, Nitori knows about Utsuho and got Marisa to go in) but the prologue is pretty explicit about it being Reimu. And probably Reimu A at that.

"Pache" might be the worst method of translating Patchouli's nickname I've seen yet.

Dr Pepper posted:

The MoF prologue straight up has Reimu tell Marisa about Sanae visiting then her deciding to go invade Youkai Mountain. Marisa has to have gotten there really fast.

I always just want to call her Patch. I can totally imagine Remilia just saying "Hey Patch, check this out!" and Remilia's the only one who uses the nickname anyway.

Card game looks interesting, but I feel like it would be difficult to gather enough people to play it (people who wouldn't look at you funny for owning this, anyway). I wonder how many sales they'll get.

I looked up the trailer for that and it doesn't even have any voices. Did they cut you out of it? Or is there another trailer I was too lazy to look up?

Also, I feel like somewhere along the line someone missed a memo that "casual, easy to pick up and play" does not mix well with "appeals to extremely niche anime fetishes".
