How does he know what Steam is? Where is the sauce? Who was the phone?

Although there is a massive typo
>Q: Are there any characters that hold a special place in your heart?
>ZUN: Hakurei Rin.

Well, most westerns pirate it. If it was available on steam, a lot of those people would buy it, and it's not as if he needed to advertise it. I don't know how the deal with valve works, but it's almost free money.
>>11474016
That's like asking how did trigger know what kickstarter was.

>Q: Do you have a message to give to the fans?
>ZUN: I honestly didn’t think that there would be this many people since Touhou isn’t available in North America. I’ve seen a lot of people in Touhou cosplays, but for some reason most of them seem to be men. I’ll be here all day tomorrow and Sunday. I’ll be wandering around so please say hi. In the meantime, I’ll try to learn English.

>but for some reason most of them seem to be men
America blew it, it's over.

>I learned one thing when I came to America. Meals are too big and beer is too little.

>>11474030
>ZUN comes to America expecting cutie 3.14 girls to cosplay Touhou
>It's 90% men with muscles cosplaying Touhou

Good job America, you had one job

>>11474042
Go back to Unweaponized /a/ crossie

>>11474042
Prove that we could beat ZUN up?
Mission accomplished.

>Every time I’m awake, I’m either working on a game or drinking beer.

What about his waifu?

>ZUN: Like I said earlier, there aren’t any plans. I’m not opposed to it, but there are no plans to localize them right now. They could or could not be localized. Honestly, I make the games all by myself and I don’t know how to go about localizing them. If anything, I have noticed the English patches.

On a serious note, the door is finally open.
>Get someone to localize Touhou games
>show result to ZUN, get his approval
>put it up on Greenlight

>Q: What is your favorite Jojo line?

>ZUN: “Daga Kotowaru” (Translation: But I won’t). A line from Rohan Kishibe, a character from Part 4 of Hirohiko Araki’s manga, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure.

ZUN confirmed for liking Part 4 best.

>>11474042
>>It's 90% men with muscles cosplaying Touhou
would bang.

>Q: Moriya Shrine disappeared all of a sudden and were suddenly not involved. Did the events in Hopeless Masquerade have anything to do with it?

>ZUN: There’s not really a particular reason. That’s my final answer

Fuck you, ZUN. I will never let the fact go that Moriya wasn't in HM. Especially with answers like that.

>>11474060
That's because it's the best part. He got good taste.

>>11474081
He probably simply forgot.

>>11474087
Hell yeah it's the best part, mine brethren of African descent.

i hope there will b achievements
cant' wait to be 0.01 who completed all spell cards xD

>>11474060

>>11474099
Imagine Touhou cards bro! It would be epiccccccccc!

>>11474090
Whether he truly forgotten or not, I have this thought that he wasn't aware how many of his fans would take the disappearance way too seriously

>>11474106
i would love to have a cirno background lol
btw, are you in the steam /jp/ group? add me

Why would he bother putting 2hu on steam when they're free?

>>11474090
I'm more inclined to believe that they were simply cut because the game was so rushed.

>>11474081
bravo ZUN

Q: Are there any characters that hold a special place in your heart?

ZUN: Hakurei Reimu.

Q: If you could find yourself trapped in a hotspring with two of your favorite characters, who would it be?

ZUN: Give me a minute. *Drinks his beer* Marisa definitely and another weird character. Of course beer would have to be involved.

ZUN confirmed for madonna/whore complex; Marisa confirmed for most sexual 2hu.

>>11474109
I hope so.

>>11474096

>>11474138
marisa burns in hell

>>11474138
>Marisa
Zun confirmed for liking western girls, no wonder he was so disappointed that all the cosplayers were guys.
He has hoping to bang a cute American marisa cosplayer

>>11474164
Instead he got served by 超Marisaｗｗ

>Q: Are there any characters that hold a special place in your heart?

>ZUN: Hakurei Reimu.

That's it. Goodbye Aya is ZUN's girlfriend meme. Reimu is forever ZUN's lover.

THIS IS MY OC HAKUREI RIN. SHE IS REIMU AND RIN'S DAUGHTER AND HALF HUMAN AND HALF KASHA. HER POWERS ARE FLYING AND PURRING REALLY LOUD. SHE LIKES SWEETS AND CORPSES BUT SHE DOESN'T CARRY CORPSES AWAY.

>>11474168
RELEASE THE WEEBLORD

>>11474171
Oh, god. You may be onto something here.

>>11474023
IIRC, they didn't know, they had to research it because they're a bunch of old geezers who aren't hip and with it

>>11474178
I'll release your ANUS, nerdoid.

>>11474171

I bet Orin pumped Reimu full of sticky cum.

>>11474185
Tattun knew what I was talking about when I proposed it to him via twitter, and as far as I know, I was the first one to do so, so at least he already knew kickstarter. They probably had to do some research for the details and conditions, though.

>>11474195
L-Lewd!

>>11474022
That was pretty underwhelming, really.

But I guess I shouldn't complain that they didn't pull some new info out of ZUN and be happy most of them avoided saying something really stupid.

>>11474058
>localize

Please use the term "translate".

>>11474185
This was partially the case with Trigger

regardless, if we could find a translation/localization group out there that could pull off everything that's needed to be done, at least now we no that ZUN's reply is a guaranteed no.

It's not exactly 100%, but it's a start

>>11474217
Well to get on Steam, it really only takes $100 if you do it through Greenlight.

>>11474217
>is not a

Fuck I need to sleep

I hope I didn't jinx that

>>11474058
But I don't want my 2hus to have western names due to localization shit

Does anyone else want Touhou not to get released in the West? Call me hipster all you want but it's a fact that Western mentality is capable of ruining everything otaku. Just look at those bronies modding Touhou games. It might seem like it's not a big deal but if the games get released in the West it'll only get worse.

Trips being stupid as usual.
Everyone would say that, of course he won't say "No, fuck steam and their jewish methods", it's easier to say the classic "We'll see, who knows? = Nope, never."

>>11474170
But for a visit to an onsen he'd take Marisa.

Reimu is more like his daughter. He's a Hakurei kannushi after all.

>>11474228
Guess that means Mima's never coming back.

>>11474228
I'm rather optimistic.

Had a great day, you see.

>>11474030
>I honestly didn’t think that there would be this many people since Touhou isn’t available in North America.
I wonder if ZUN suddenly realized that like 0.1% of them actually paid for it.

>>11474234
This should have been obvious.

>>11474217
Why not the other way around? Get a translation/localization group together, but before they start working, contact ZUN with a proposal. He doesn't have to say yes, just that the work of the group has a chance that mostly depends on the quality of the work. I know that having something to show is always better, but I doubt you'll find enough people willing to work on something when they don't know if it even has a chance.
>>11474231
Come on, Touhou is already big enough in the west. Nothing will change.

>>11474241

More like 0.1% of them actually played it.

>>11474241
Maybe that's why he's more open to putting it on Steam.

>>11474246
>Come on, Touhou is already big enough in the west. Nothing will change.

Except this time he actually gets money off it, even if its a few dollars per game.

>>11474247
I sort of agree
I have this running thought inside my head that most people who cosplay Touhou haven't even played the game at all.

>>11474231
The sooner it reaches the west, the faster the fad dies out since niwaka can't play STG.

I would buy hisoutensoku seriously.

>>11474255
That's what easy mode is for.

>>11474257
I would only buy it jokingly.

>>11474260
You think they can beat easy mode?
Also no EX or even 6th stage for them.

>>11474257
>>11474264
Why not buy it ironically? Ironic purchasing is still purchasing, after all.

>>11474252
>Except this time he actually gets money off it, even if its a few dollars per game.
Yeah, but I was referring to the fanbase. The fanbase will stay the same.

>>11474255
Here's a scarier thought, people like PewDiePie picking up the game due to its popularity with chicks.

He can still shout and scream as bullets eat his face

>>11474267
In the later games you finish the game and see the ending on easy. You also unlock extra.

>>11474272
Well THAT'S a horrifying thought.

>>11474234
Your post gave me osteoporosis. I hope you're happy.

>>11474272
>all those popular YouTubers doing gameplay videos and reviews
>mispronouncing everything
>not caring about characters or story
>maybe even calling the games shit because they can't get past first stage
>"Huh, Japanese are so weird."
I can already see it.

>>11474272
No no no no no oh god please no.
I cannot think of anything worse to happen to Touhou than it being played by that cunt and his fanbase getting in to it. This must be avoided at all costs.

>>11474004
I'd buy it if it were more easily available.

>>11474297
>>11474298
Just think, all new Touhou memes that make PAD look like comedy gold.

>>11474297
DSP plays Touhou?

>>11474297
Toe-who, Toe-who everywhere.

>>11474308

>>11474297
Since when were the characters or story integral to a Touhou game? What proportion of these memes even come from the games directly?

>>11474272
>PewDiePie
Who?

>>11474297
Who are you qoting?
But if that person whom you're quoting said the truth, then wouldn't it be a good thing? them desiding it to be shit and ignoring touhou?

>>11474309
/jp/ can't pronounce Reisen anyway.

Here, here, /jp/.

On one hand, you finally get the chance to support ZUN financially, and even more than that, people will eventually buy the game on Steam due to its popularity even if they don't even play the game(As for Bastion's case, only 18% of people only even finished the game, a lot of people only bought it due to its popularity and Narrator), ultimately getting ZUN the shekels you've always wanted him to have.

On the other hand, the game will spiral further down Portal syndrome, where its fanbase is gonna be filled up with obnoxious landwhales and retards who only bothered to get Touhou or cosplay Touhou because they saw their favorite Let's player tackle it, memes and MADs like Tewi Eientewi, Cirno's Math Class and Marisa's Precious Thang will be things you'll be sharing with people you never want to associate yourself with.

Which path, /jp/?

>>11474330
When people associate themselves with something without caring deeply about the subject...

Those sort are the worst.

>>11474330
I don't even have to think to make my choice.

>>11474326
[raɪzeŋ], amiright?

>>11474330
> Portal syndrome
Portal is already dead.
It was as lively as a mimetics as planking, and I'n being kind here.
portal 2 bombed so hard it was merely hipster material.

>>11474341
Portal 1's downfall is its own fanbase.

Hence why Portal 2 barely had anything mimetic bar SPAAAAACE.

>>11474340

Fuck.

>>11474330

We could be seeing the touhou version of this in the near future.

>>11474356

>>11474364
>>11474356
Don't get me wrong, that shit happens every year, every con.

The scary thing is how it'll increase in volume/

>>11474345
>Portal 1's downfall is its own fanbase.
Dude, making "easter eggs" super obvious and splattering the walls with a repetitive unit isn't then fanbase's fault.
They were led there, and it was all planned.

portal 1's downfall is its management a la reddit.
Also, what the fuck, it's not even 2 hours long and it's simple as shit, are you fucking kidding me? achievement shit to lenghen the game duration artificially? Do I look like I want to take part in a dick waving contest? This was even more of a joke than artificial difficulty.

>>11474372
>The scary thing is how it'll increase in volume

Because they're all Americans.

>>11474373
>Also, what the fuck, it's not even 2 hours long and it's simple as shit, are you fucking kidding me? achievement shit to lenghen the game duration artificially? Do I look like I want to take part in a dick waving contest? This was even more of a joke than artificial difficulty.

No, it's the gallow's humor that unravels in the middle of the game. The challenges aren't that hard.

>>11474379
I'm angered by the same reason as this guy>>11474339

I remember posting an Aniki video ones that had blatant Touhou references and no one could even identify any one of them.
sm18345776

>>11474395
Well, you know something is really wrong when people mistake Ayanami Rei for Cirno.

>>11474411
The problem with your statement is the assumption that Evangelion is something everyone should know.

>>11474485
No. If you knew Cirno well enough, you would know that's not cirno, even if you didn't know who she is. I mean, they look nothing alike, besides the blue hair.

>>11474485
And the problem with yours is the assumptions that touhou isn't an otaku niche, and that people who are oblivious to EVA can be though as otaku.

>>11474494
>>11474491
>>11474485
>>11474411
I thought "is that rei" and "is that cirno" was a retarded running joke that a bunch of people had going.

Why on earth would we want 2hu with DRM?

>>11474330
> fanbase is gonna be filled up with obnoxious landwhales and retards who only bothered to get Touhou or cosplay Touhou because they saw their favorite Let's player tackle it, memes and MADs like Tewi Eientewi, Cirno's Math Class and Marisa's Precious Thang will be things you'll be sharing with people you never want to associate yourself with
So nothing changes. Great. I'll take 10.

>>11474330
da normals are out to get me

>>11474530
Nothing you see on Facebook or Youtube should count.

>>11474506
You sure?

>>11474231
are you implying anything worse could be done to touhou than what its fans have already done

there are people seriously implying that touhou is some kind of wonderful fandom without any embarassing members and exposing it to "idiots" on youtube would "ruin" things

holy shit

ZUN sells his games himself at komike, you really think he's considering steam?
He's got enough as of now, which means he has no reason to make any effort to "accomodate" the western audience.

>>11474494
Regular people can like niche things too, and not every otaku needs to know Eva. (In fact, an average non-anime otaku may be less likely to like Eva than a regular person, because he's to busy with his own hobby.) But the main problem with your current position can be summed up as "No True Scotsman" fallacy.

>>11474506
Yeah. It's a turnaround from an actual mistake some magazine made.

Im pretty sure I saw this tripfag making fun of /jp/ a while ago

>>11474564
Everybody makes fun of /jp/.
