Throwing out an idea I had in class for a touhou game. I'm not going to go any further with it because I have my own plans. The idea is for a Terranigma based game. If you haven't played it I seriously recommend you check it out. Gonna give some unmarked spoils on the game to relate them to Touhou.

In terranigma you act as a human god who restores life to the world and guides human progress. Conflict between Light Gaia (creation) and Dark Gaia (destroys what is unnecessary) is the major part of the background story. Ark would have to be played by a top-tier touhou, such as Yukari, Shinki, or EX-Keine (Keine would be pretty appropriate, since in a sense Ark is creating history). It's easy to cast ZUN as Light Gaia, but finding an equivalent for Dark Gaia is not so clear...
Part 1&2 would be recreating the setting, e.g. the SDM, Eientei, Forest of Magic. Simple.
Part 3 would be interesting, because the whole thing about Ark's quest is that he ends up guiding humanity from around Columbus' time to the modern age. It might be doable to guide Gensokyo's residents through the events of the entire series. I.e. telling Reimu/Marisa where the Red Mist is coming from, helping them get inside and defeating Remilia, etc. It could be very interesting, but I'm sure it'd be a absolute bitch to pull off well.
