To be fair who wants dirty moon faith anyway? Moriya Shrine already pretty much has a monopoly on faith in gensokyo by way of everybody else being incompetent.

Maybe it's because I just played Suikoden 2, but the impression I get from the game is that the big players care more about strategies than soldiers. Sanae saving the moon (or Reimu, etc), would be considered a brilliant tactical move by Eirin, actually named in Hecatia's profile as "the Ultramarine Orb Person Maneuver." Sagume also gets strategist credit for recognizing the gift she'd been sent and using it properly. And unless I misread it horribly, Junko concedes (to Sagume) the moment Sanae shows up, before they even fight. Sanae wanted an epic duel though, so she gives her one out of pity. So in the end, Sagume and Eirin pat themselves on the back for being so smart, Junko recognizes the Lunar Capital as a worthy opponent, and no one cares about these stupid little danmaku battles.

Illusionary Jorurui, Little Princess and Pristine Beat are all really goddamn amazing and easily among the best touhou songs ever. But yeah for the most part DDC's ost wasn't super amazing, especially when we just had the songs from the demo. Although Mysterious Purification Rod may be my favourite title theme.

I think Junko immediately conceded but insisted on going through the battle anyway. If anyone's got a transcript, I'd be happy to give a straight translation.

Played through it again, she refers to the battle as "mopping up". A necessary but tedious task. For Marisa's route though, Marisa is perfectly willing to just leave because she's been kinda annoyed at Eirin the whole game, but Junko insists that having a danmaku battle is just proper manners. These are Pointdevice only dialog though. In Legacy mode Junko taunts you for wasting so my lives on the way, and then talks about your inevitable demise in battle.

Is it just me or Stage 4's first spellcard is way harder than the rest? At least on easy. I feel like I died a thousand times to beat this game on easy, jesus christ.

No, I've never had any particular trouble with it. Not the easiest card ever, but fairly straightforward. Out of curiosity, are you playing as Reisen? Because Reisen trivializes every other of Sagume's spellcards with her piercing shot. They end like three times faster.

No, I was playing as Sanae. I guess I couldn't discern the pattern, later with more bullets it was easier for my brain to find paths to go through. And oh, I called it "first spellcard" but I think it was just the very first boss attack.

Oh, that one. Yeah, Sanae makes that one a nightmare because her homing shots make it practically impossible to hit the boss.

LoLK feels a lot more like ISC or the camera games because there are some really dumb RNG or no warning bullets. The plot is also ripped off of Doom 2 amuayse fucked around with this message at 23:51 on Aug 15, 2015 |

Point device, there are lots of cards that will just immediately kill you unless you know what to do at the start.

On the other hand, Legacy gives you quite a lot of lives so maybe you can just bomb through everything?

Pretty sure ZUN just throws words together based on what they sound like. Although he does love the Lunatic double meaning... Actually going through the legacy endings, they seem to be a bunch of joke endings with some worldbuilding details thrown in. Mostly people asking themselves why they decided not to drink the super invincibility elixir.

Okay I've been out of the Touhou loop for a few years: how, exactly do you use the Touhou Autotranslate patcher program thing? As far as I understand this completely replaces the patches from before and is the only way to get DDC/ISC in English. Problem I'm having is it isn't actually translating anything. I've tried 3 times, full uninstalls and reinstalls of it every time, and it just won't do anything. It looks like maybe the server it's trying to pull the translation from isn't up anymore? The program having not been updated in over a year in a half also isn't heartening. Googling around is still giving me a loss, so I would like to politely bow and ask for assistance as to what the hell I am doing. Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure how you're failing, but the main thing is that it doesn't actually patch anything, it just replaces the dialog on the go, as it were. So you have to open the game through the patcher program every single time. If you're already doing that, then I don't know.

One of the servers the patcher downloads through is dead or broken or something, so you have to manually download this repo.js file and put it in a folder named "thpatch". Then the configuration script should download the actual game translations, and work. If your patcher still works then you probably don't need to do this, but new installs probably do.

Jesus. How do you overdesign something as simple as a fan translation so badly? What was wrong with the old method? It wasn't next-gen social web 2.0 cloud compatible enough?

I think the original idea is that a web-based open source self-updating patcher avoids the issues that the older games had with mediocre and fixed translations, difficult installs, and teams that get burnt out after every game, but instead it's merely a giant pain in the rear end to install and has translator fights and lovely joke translations no one actually wants.

It must at least cache the most recent version locally, right? I haven't heard anyone accuse it of having always-online DRM(!).
