EXCLUSIVE ONLY for your Sony™ PlayStation™ 4!
Preorder now to get access to 2 PreOrder Exclusive characters!

The regulars:
Reimu, Marisa, Sakuya, Sanae, Youmu, Reisen, Cirno

As well as:
Kogasa/Nazrin (I want both of them in here, but would probably only be able to have one of them), Tenshi, Futo, maybe Patchouli, Clownpiece, Orin, or Shou. And of course the new characters that ZUN will be introducing with the game.

If anyone wants to play PoFV games with someone who lives around NA (I don't like high latency), I'd be happy to host with adonis2

Here's my attempt at making sense out of ZUN on this one. I assume he'd like to have at least one representative from each mainline game since PoFV, at least two original characters, and MAYBE bringing back a PC98 like he did with Yuuka.

>Given
Reimu
Marisa
>Very likely
Reisen

>Maybe

>I can dream

>not going to happen I'm listing anyways to express how happy it'd make me
VIVIT as a super secret character after doing some shit like getting a 1cc on every other character

>>15019812
>Maybe
>Mima

>>15019817
I don't care much for her, but seeing how popular she is and that ZUN may bring back a PC98 like he did on PoFV, I'd say it's possible

>>15019822
People said ages ago.

>>15019828
I personally lost hope after TD, but ZUN is always full of surprises

>>15019822
ZUN doesn't do shit based on popularity.

>>15019716
You're just joking, but this might one day become a reality.

>>15019876
Doesn't mean he always acts against it.

>>15020594
so much this

>>15020604
Tenshi has two and Suika has one though.

>>15019812
>>Very likely
The only problem with these characters, aside from Sanae, is that they were already in 9. A new vs shooter would be the perfect chance to make characters playable for the first time, so I doubt they would show up again. (Consider how Reimu and Marisa were the only carryovers from 12.3 to 13.5.)

>>Possible
That's two extra stage bosses, a character who already got her own game, and a character with her own manga who was already promoted to playable. Not likely. Kogasa is a perfect fit, being a relatively weak character, and Clownpiece is also quite possible now that she's hanging out on Earth.

>>Maybe
Rin and Shou, obviously, are desperately in need of playable slots. Both are possible, especially since Rin was last known to hang around the shrine from time to time. Kyouko is also a good fit for an early-stage boss. As for the moon rabbits, maybe, though probably only one of them.

In general, the most likely candidates are early- and mid-stage bosses, from Gen 2 and 3, who haven't been playable before, and who story-wise have an excuse to show up. That includes:

Hina
Momiji (yeah, right)
Rin
Naz
Kogasa
Shou
Kyouko
Seiga/Yoshika (tag team mechanics?)
Waggysaggy
Banki
Kagerou
Tsukumo Sisters
Doremy (?)
Clownpiece

Not a terrible selection, even if the roster did include a few repeats. Including Reimu, Marisa, and Sanae, plus the penultimate and final bosses, there's plenty of room to make a decent roster and coherent story out of those.

But the main question is, WILL we be getting a new game this year?

>>15020816
It's an off year for both ordinal and fighters, so obviously neither of those. There's only been one ordinal game since 14.3, so we're also unlikely to get another photography-type game due to lack of material. There don't seem to be any hooks for a manga tie-in game like 12.8 at the moment, either.

However, consider that there have only been two years since the release of 6 in which ZUN has released no game whatsoever - one in which he was writing the new engine for 10, and the other in which he was getting married. By that precedent, it seems likely that we'll be getting something, and the only thing left that's been done before is a vs shooter. Of course, it could be something totally different, as well.

Let's be real, if there were another vs shooter, it wouldn't be an ordinal game nowadays. ZUN even said that 9 was just 'pure fanservice', and since he's a little more aware of the scope of his audience now, he probably wouldn't make something like that a main-series release.

Anyway, we can take solace in the fact that even if there's no game this year, that probably means there will at least be a new music CD, finally.

>>15020816
No. Next year.

>>15020854
>>15020855
Man what happened to the good old days where he used to release a new game every year, but it's understandable. He's got a new family to take care now so he has much less time for Touhou.

All I'm asking is for him to probably give us some new story or character this year, even if it's just one.

>>15020987
A new character may be a bit much to ask, but there's no shortage of story at the moment, as there are currently four official serializations running. Admittedly, not much actually happens in them, but still.

>>15020692
I threw in Reisen, Youmu, and Sakuya because I assumed protags got a free pass. That may not be the case, considering he's only done one windows phantasmagoria and only sakuya was a protagonist out of those three before PoFV, but who knows.

>>15020692
I'd say Seija would still be in the running, considering there needs to be a DDC rep and that Aya was only in print works and her own spinoff when she got into PoFV. As for Mamizou, ZUN's got a massive boner for her and I assumed he would shoehorn her into anything she could be in. Maybe seiga would be a better fit for the TD slot. Koishi is only there because of how fucking popular she is for some reason, though I know ZUN doesn't give a shit about popularity

>>15021026
I wouldn't say so. Phantasmagorias should always have at least a new final and penultimate boss. Though it wouldn't be too much to ask for one or two more, considering Medicine was new too.

>>15021026
>>15021097
Thought you were talking about a new game in your post, whoops

>>15019812
VIVIT would be fucking sweet. It's about time ZUN acknowledged Seihou's existence in one of his games. It doesn't even have to be canon, but I mean the entire SG extra was a homage to Touhou, and Yuuka was even playable in KG. I know this is probably because ZUN wanted something back for doing the music in those two, but I'd still love to see really anything Seihou that's not from Banshiryuu.

I only want one.

>>15019671
all 2hus

>>15019876
>koishi in ULiL

fuck her

>>15019722
Why the fuck was Mystia in the game? I don't mind, but why?

>>15021697
I heard that ZUN wanted lots of weaker (canonically) characters in the game so that it would feel more relaxed. That might be why Yukari/Yuyuko/Remi, etc. weren't in the game. Also, IN just came out, so I guess he wanted more IN characters in the game aside from Reisen and Tewi.

Jeez, back in 2005 when PoFV came out, there weren't that many characters to choose from, but now we have waaay more candidates.

>>15021396
rip, only in one game (DS) since SA.

>>15021644
Koishi is in ULiL for the same reason Patchouli is in SWR. Because taking characters away when they are already fully built and sprited is fucking retarded and a complete waste of resources.

>>15021697
>>15021729
There were weaker characters in 9 not just because ZUN wanted them to be included, but because other characters were necessarily excluded. All the final-boss-type characters both knew what the flower incident was, and wouldn't go out to solve an incident anyway. And as you mentioned, there's the practical concern of not exactly being spoiled for choice when it came to characters back then.

>>15021396
The problem with with most of the undergrounders is that they're just kind of stuck there. Koishi does what she wants, and Rin has permission to hang out aboveground, but everyone else down there is still basically an exile. They barely even had an excuse to be included in SoPM, let alone to show up in another game. (And remember, in the story mode of 12.3, Okuu was only present in the Underground Geyser Center; it's not like she's wandering around the village irradiating people.)

That said, it's possible that Yuugi will make an appearance before Kasen's story is over, whenever that will be.

>>15021440
this, FUCKING THIS

>>15021644
You are seriously, genuinely retarded if you thought Koishi wouldn't be in ULiL if she was in fucking HM.

Does anyone still play PoFV?

There was even a steam group years ago but it's gone now.

Also, what do you use to host/fix connection issues? It was called adonis, right?

What if the next Touhou game is some brand new type that we've never seen before and couldn't expect?
what if it's a 2D MOBA or something?

>>15026342
gross

>>15026323
Adonis, yes. This torrent has 9 packed with both versions of it: http://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=788435

I play with some people in my VoIP group, and it's great fun. I'd definitely be down to play other /jp/sies if there were ever a netplay thread, or some other group for finding games.

All I really want is some PC-98 character making a come back. Doesn't even have to be wizard-yuuka.

>>15026342
I prefer HRtP type again

>>15027643
this desu
I want play with ellen again

>>15026382
I wouldn't mind hosting if anyone wants to play. I haven't played for over 4-5 years. Last time I did was when netplay threads were still around /jp/.

Where could I share my IP? Don't feel like leaving it here since last time my nudes got leaked. My touhou nudes I mean. Don't mind doing it over steam.

>>15026323
>>15035986
Should we make a new Steam group, then? A cursory search found a Touhou group 'for 4chan faggots' that looks pretty shit, and another 'meant to play the Touhou fighting games' where 'everyone is welcome'. Neither seem ideal. Is there enough interest for a /jp/ netplay group?

>>15042242
I'd rather not use steam. IRC or even discord would be better.

>>15042242
>Steam

No

I want more fairies

Did ZUN go scorched earth on the Youtube uploads of his music CDs?
This used to be the link to the Neo-Traditionalism of Japan version, Fate of Sixty Years, now there's just a copyright claim. Why? It's not like he's selling the CD anymore.
