Of course I understand that it makes more sense for Sanae to be a playable character if you take story/lore into consideration, but that is also something Zun can easily write around.(like he did in TH14 for example).

But imagine a player that's not that much into Touhou plays UFO for example, when they look at the characters they can choose between.

- miko
- witch
- another miko

Or Ten Sesires

- miko
- "Swordswoman"
- another miko
- witch

I think it would be more fun to able to choose from a more distinct cast.

Even if like you say that she's not an exact clone of a Reimu and that she's not very similar to her. Unless you're that much into Touhou they don't feel that much different. And it would feel more refreshing to able to choose from a more unique cast.

It's like if you could choose between Mario and Yoshi it would just feel sad if they would add Luigi to the cast instead of like Peach or Bowser.
And you could also argue here that Luigi is nothing like Mario and they share nothing in common, but in the end people will always see him as a clone.

And once again, I'm only talking about it from a design point of view, not from a story/lore point of view.
