I have seen a rough translation of this, but I am still super glad you are playing through it. I was so bummed out when the translation project failed miserably.

Mima is powerful in many ways and it is unwise to disrespect her.

The only thing powerful about Mima is her theme song. The rest of her should be forgotten.

Also shame on you guys for not following the thread title. Now Reimu can only solo everything and end the chapter ASAP on Lunatic.

Luna for 7. The Fairies have clearly proven to be the best unit in the game and it would be a shame to stop using them now.

Lyrica's theme is pretty great, but I am partly biased cause Phantom Ensemble is my favorite Touhou theme period.

Fun Fact: I've been keeping track of who's been voted in, and nobody has ever picked either of the Akis.

I'm not sure if it was on purpose.

I am really glad they added dialogue to make you feel like a monster if you shot down Dai (or Lily). Some things just aren't right.

It is obviously quite different from the actual IN stage, but I think FMW did it about as well as possible. Both sides clearly know the other isn't responsible for the incident, so a serious battle between the two sides before encountering the main baddy would be silly. Instead we get a lighthearted skirmish where both sides can show off and have a bit of fun. They could have put the emphasis on Reimu/Marisa, but I much prefer the current setup that features multiple powerful (and optional) foes over a single major boss. Maybe they could have removed the fight from in the IN story and had it set between incidents or something, but that would lead to its own problems.

The cause for the fight is a bit silly, but the chapter is absurdly fun, full of dialogue, and features many tricky enemies, so I can forgive that.

I will take a break from the Akis to say we need all four teams, so Ghost Team leaving 32.5 because I am bad at maths.

And yes, Remilia is really lackluster in this game, but at least this chapter let Reisen unveil (most) of her moves and they own.

e: Sunny blocking Yorihime's best attack never ceases to amuse me. If only she could do that in the actual chapter. It coming after Remilia whiffs her cutscene attack makes it double good.

So yeah, the final chapter is really really epic and fun to play, especially for the first time. So many terrifyingly powerful danmaku fields and MAPs that you want to blow through ASAP which will probably leave you really short on resources for the final card where Utsuho just keeps powering up to insane levels.

I am sad none of the characters I would have voted for got picked for the final level and I am very disappointed in Golden Battler and KnoxZone for not picking any fairies. :colbert:

Also, Shiro is now suddenly the biggest jerk and I hope she gets beaten up. She'd gotten a lot more grouchy this game but it has been a fairly quick jump from generally helpful dream mentor to unrepentant bird murderer who through being an rear end in a top hat almost caused literal hell on earth. Though I guess if you were to count her lines she probably had more in this game than in the first two combined.

Utsuho was a pretty cool looking final boss, and definitely seemed like the most appropriate final boss-esque character from all the games. Although I do kinda wish we got more scenes of her after she ate the Yatagarasu, because through most of SA the team had no idea what was going on and so she got sort of ignored for a few chapters. Still a pretty well done story though.

Sorry but the Akis are permanent and I felt the Prismrivers belonged cause they are the strongest unit and needed to show that off. I also picked Kaguya/Mokou because everyone else had a representative team and I chose solo Eirin at the end cause I am not so merciless to not suggest a healer. Everyone else was Battler. What I am saying is all the bad choices are Battler's fault and you should blame him.
