A /jp/sie drew pic rel back when the whole DMCA drama happened. It never fails to make me laught lol

Banzai! (Oy Vey)! Those stupid gaijin will buy anything I put out! It doesn't even matter how many bugs or lost features it has! *Furiously rubs hands together* Better put out a DMCA request if those stupid gaijin start pirating it, though!

Do you think ZUN's newest installments of the Touhou Project series are better or worse than those he made in the past?

I noticed some differences in newer Touhou games compared to the older ones. For one, the sprite artwork in the older games was more unique compared to now where all the faces seem to look alike. I assume he switched from hand drawn artwork to computer generated ones? Another thing I noticed was the music. Some of you may disagree, but the music in the older Touhou games (especially those before Touhou 16) were memorable, catchy and generally just better than the newer ones. This can be said for all the music; even the stage music. I doubt we could ever get music as good as Flandre's or Koishi's badass theme songs. The soundtracks for the newer games in comparison just feel boring, like they're lacking enthusiasm or power.

Something else I noticed was just the overall theme and plot of the games. While the older games had their fair share of melancholic moments (like TH7 being about Yuyuko reviving herself from suicide) and deep lore (especially the TH8 Lunarian story) the newer ones just feel like they were scraped together in a hurry, seeminly attempting to fit as many mythological creatures as possible. The newer games are also very colorful and bright. In fact I'd say that the newer games are just far too flashy and colorful and it becomes annoying to look at for too long. Maybe now that he has a family and kids he's leaning more towards creating games with a cheery mood.

Anyways, this is just my opinion. What do you think? Are you having high hopes for the new Touhou 19 game?

Oy vey gaijin goyim you can't pirate the PC-98 games that's eereeguu
