Since this is 14.3 now I wanna know what 14.5 is.

Too soon for a new fighting game, right?

I want a battle of the bands between the Prismrivers, the Tsukumos, and that punk band Mystia and Kyouko started.

I'd rather a fighting game that managed to put as much of the cast in as is possible, just to revel in the utter :spergin: that would result.

Or having Youki, Rinnosuke and Unzan in the fight, that'd be nice.

I said it before, I'll say it again, it's damned criminal Yuugi hsn't been in a fighting game yet.

Yuugi vs Meiling has been a perennial wish of mine, I will admit.

Kind of a pity that Zun hasn't put anyone with a blatant Korea background in, although seeing that anyone from another Asian country (Seiga, Kokoro, Yukari, possibly Miko if you consider his/her educational background) with the exception of Meiling gets Japanese names it might cause an issue.

What do goons think of Gensoukoumuten's works? S/he tends towards rather sappy stuff, but I rather enjoy the worldbuilding and character interaction.

Gensokoumuten is great. He's managed to draw Touhou comics with OCs and not make me mad about it, which is impressive enough, but all his art is really expressive and his world is neat.

My only Touhou wallpaper:


The only one subtle enough to use in my dorm room without feeling weird about it.

Nice.



I have this as my phone screensaver. Tots good.

Oh, does anyone know if Terajin released any doujin? S/he does great art and the cutest goddamned children, but I don't think there've been any stories released.

Is that a Touhou related one or is that just birds?

They're part of the Night Sparrow Love story by Mitsumoto Jouji. Mokou and Mystia are just talking and eating and generally enjoying each others company when Mystia's sparrows get bored.

They... recommend different scenarios. Ain't subtle.

Wild and Horned Hermit is basically all about Reimu's crazy "get-faith-quick" schemes no matter how much it wants to pretend to be about Kasen, it's basically a must-read for Reimu fans.

She does end up getting owned a fair bit, although Kasen explains that you can tell when this is about to happen because she gets cocky as hell.

TOO SCSI FOR MY CAT posted:

Part of that is due to how bad Shinmyomaru's art is in-game, even for ZUN. Fanartists figured out pretty quick that her original design works fine if drawn with human proportions:



Probably a reference to Dracula, who emigrated to England.

Oh sweet, Terajin art.

Also yeah, if Remilia was around about 500 years ago she would have been given serious schooling in languages provided her mansion is a good indicator of family wealth. Elizabeth the first knew most of the major languages of the era (Save for Russian, and her Italian was 'adequate'). As what I presume a noblewoman, Remilia should know at least three or four.

Doesn't explain her knowledge of modern English, but eh

It's not like we made up the term. As I recall it was used in some existing translation of the Issun Boshi story.

The out-of-universe explanation for Remilia favoring English is that it's probably the foreign language most familiar to ZUN. The in-universe explanation would be that Scarlet is an English word?

Huh, I always thought it was French. Turns out it's not the same pronunciation - loving Blackadder!

EoSD's romanizations are actually pretty bad, but they're so ingrained in the english fanbase that basically nobody cares. Sucks for Chirno, Meirin, and Frandoll.

EDIT: And I guess Rumia should be Roomia but gently caress that noise.

I thought it was Lumia and Chillno?

e: That's what I get for not scrolling.

As for Reimu-centric stuff, you can always try the artist who did Oriental Sacred Place. He's quite good at scenario, and there are a few peripheral doujin he did before ZUN commissioned stuff from him.

My touhou-fu is weak, I can't for the life of me figure out why Reimu refers to singular people with collective pronouns.

'S pretty balla, though.

I wonder if ZUN ever considered donating part of his revenue or con revenue or something into a Shinto preservation fund or shrine upkeep? He certainly seems fond enough of the Japanese socio-religious scene.

Sometimes I wonder how some Touhous get dressed. You know, how does Yuugi or Suika put on any shirt without it being ripped?

Sometimes I wonder where the hell they get their clothing. Who tailors their stuff to western lolita fashions in a Meiji period Japanese setting?

I think the main difference was that Kantai collection had the fanservice and blatant nerdbait already built in.

As opposed to Touhou, wherein every single character was designed with the sex appeal of Margaret Thatcher.

Well, I wouldn't go that far. ZUN does pander to the fanbase a fair amount, otherwise we'd have had Hijiri's brother Myouren as boss of UFO.

Still, the few males we've seen are a pleasant representative. An old master, a reformed youkai and a know-it-all shopkeeper that one of the protagionists constantly teases.

Also that loving turtle.

I thought her interview pointed out that Hijiri was stressed precisely because people worshiped and revered her, as opposed to following the tenets of Buddha like she'd been asking them to?

I really dont know what to think about THAT game other than being creeped the gently caress out by it. Touhou is a silly game with girls in it that (I think) started with little to no pandering to the fans and was later sexualized to a horrible degree by gigantic creeps. Katanai seems to be a silly game that started with bucketloads of pandering and is sexualized to a horrible degree by gigantic creeps.

What I am trying to say is that I am angry about anime girls games.

:goonsay: The difference is that the creeps in Touhou don't actually have any real say in how the product is produced.
