Well it's always been clear that time was passing in Gensokyo and that it was going at the same rate as our time so that leads to the assumption that the characters are growing older

By far the worst bit of Forbidden Scrollery was the revelation that Marisa is shorter than Kosuzu.

Also Marisa, at least according to ULiL sprites, is only just taller than Futo.

Fun facts! Mokou is supposed to be short, considering she came from the late 600s/early 700s Japan. Maybe like 4'6" or something? Dunno the average height of Japanese women back then, not to mention when she took the elixir.

By the way the touhou wiki seems certain the the barrier went up in 1885, and that is the number you get when you subtract the Youkai Lunisolar Calendar year from our normal calendar year, but is there any source for that year exactly?

I dunno if there's a direct source but it's basically confirmed since PoFV took place in 2005 and that was the year the barrier was fluctuating or something which supposedly happens every sixty years.

Isn't there some really obscure Square Enix arcade game ZUN contributed to that states Reimu is an orphan?

Oh, I see. It's because they're assuming the games take place in the year they came out, but they could easily be a year off, yeah, since they don't all take place in the season they came out.

Using the traditional calendar can throw it off by as a much as a month or more, too. The traditional calendar was officially abolished starting in 1873, so in theory it shouldn't matter, but I can't imagine many yokai particularly cared what the government had to say about it.

we will see if they intend to go further than 12 depending on how they handle the dream world they've been building up to the whole series, i.e. if it looks anything like it did in LoLK

and, for that matter, if the Watatsukis allude to that game in any way

The game will end with Maribel going "And that was my dream."

Renko will take a bite of shortcake (her 50th plate), look Maribel in the eye, and ask:

"Do you just hate vampires?"

POLL: how will Remi be not terrible in the next game, if at all

they really shoulda brought her in sooner so she could wreck poo poo during IN. like I dunno, maybe leave behind Patchy and Meiling to hold back Flan for that segment they were going for. also sorta counterintuitive how underground doesn't count as nighttime, but I think more than anything that's supposed to be more of a 'is the moon currently visible' system, something i was genuinely surprised was not more of a direct mechanic with all the lunarians around

...similarly I have to wonder if anyone'll play like Zero does in Z2. could be Eiki's thing, though honestly I think it'd make more sense if it was how Kanako worked. they were kind of going for something similar in how she's more of a supportive command-aura centered unit after all

the stages on the moon and in space also did not count as night stages, right?

i mean yes ok the sun still shines and thats even a gag in Silent Sinner but still come on guys

Remilia will be worse because her best friend and teammate, Rumia, has gotten nerfed so her night field is active when she is in the back, as opposed to just affecting her and her teammate. So unless they decide to fix all of her other problems (they won't) she's going to be the same old terrible without subjecting your humans to night terrain penalties.
