I see what you're saying, but I think those same thematic parallels can be applied to FDS, or potentially SA/WBaWC to some degree. I just think that the little things add up more this time around:
- Besides Alice (who was brought back to subvert expectations), the only other PC-98 character who came back was Yuuka for a phantasmagoria game. After so long, we're finally getting another.
- Speaking of, I can't help but think "Unfinished Dream" is a reference to "Dimensional Dream"; it is of note that besides Marisa, Mima was the only other recurrinng character in that game.
- I think the throwbacks/parallels extend to some of the music, too. It's a phantasmagoria so of course all the recurring characters reprise their old themes, but Reimu's new theme stands out as particularly similar to her PoDD theme to me.
I'm probably looking too far into it, but "return of mima" really does feel like less of a meme than usual. I'm fairly doubtful she actually will come back, but it's definitely now or never.

Yeah.
