Cute prototype Reimu portrait

PLEASE, POST KOGASA'S SPRITE! It was cute and it surprised me!

The game seems to be really forgiving. Certain attacks can be farmed for water very easily, like Kogasa's second nonspell or the second half of Yuugi's first spell. It seems all right, though I don't know what they're going to add to the game besides the bosses — if it really is just six stages and nothing else, I'll be underwhelmed.
I've seen people dig at the artstyle, but I like it myself, even the CRT lines.

>What are you expecting out of the full game?
Toutetsu.

>>22206924
Thank you! Kogasa is cute! CUTE
!

>>22206940
even if this game turns out to be the best 2hu in the series that everybody on earth likes i'm still going to shit on it if Toutetsu isn't in it

>>22206952
aren't some kanji related to Toutetsu in the title?

>>22206954
apparently so, but I wouldn't expect anything good from tasofro at this point

Very slow Slowpoke here what the fuck is this.

>>22207312
It's a mystery

>>22206802
Better spritework, it looks really bad right now. What the hell happened? Of course, I'm not expecting a 1:1 recreation of TOKIAME's art in sprite form but still. Did their sprite guy get a concussion or something?
inb4 someone brings up the CRT filter - yes I agree it makes the game look infinitely better but I see that as a problem. HM, ULiL and AoCF didn't need a filter obscuring the screen in order to look good. Not even other games with a retro-esque aesthetic require a filter obscuring the screen in order to look good.

>>22206962
Tasofro has shit-all to do with new characters, that's all ZUN. I know Sokuchileans are still butthurt about their abandoned kusoge but use your brain for once.

>>22207365
>CRT filter
Which filter are you referring to?

Searching it up, I only get references to emulators and the like.

>>22207547
There is a filter turned on by default in the demo of the game, you can turn it of in the config menu.
That said, it looks like a LCD filter to me.

>>22207365
>Tasofro has shit-all to do with new characters, that's all ZUN.
...alright?
I never said anything about tasofro or ZUN, I just said that if this game doesn't introduce Toutetsu then I'll take a huge shit on it.

>>22207612
>I never said anything about tasofro
>"I wouldn't expect anything good from tasofro at this point"

>>22207631
didn't know I had alzheimer's until now

>>22206802
The game sucks
Touhou is dead

>>22207365
>kusoge
False.

>>22206802
I was expecting it to involve platforming since that's something tasofro is interested in. But now that I think about it, ZUN does like to keep games short and sweet.

>>22207688
What kind of game is it? When are they gonna make a Touhou version of Grief Syndrome?

>>22207696
Uhh Luna Nights?

>>22207696
cute meguca

>>22207365
>HM, ULiL and AoCF also didn't run at CRT resolutions.

From resident translator Clarste:

>Marisa tells Reimu that the black water is coming from underground.

>Kogasa says she’s actually been investigating the black water on her own, but she can’t say any more or her life will be in danger.

Yuugi says she knows exactly where it’s coming from and what it is (it’s oil), but she can’t let Reimu go there because it’s a part of Old Hell that’s considered Untouchable (the word “untouchable” is in English).

>So basically it’s coming from a part of Old Hell that everyone is too scared to talk about or mess with

>>22207365
HM, ULiL and AoCF also didn't run at CRT resolutions.

It looks and feels somewhat amateurish but I do expect it to improve from this beta. The spritework is fine but I think the animation is really lacking.

>>22207702
Tasofro didn't make that. I meant when is Tasofro, who made Grief Syndrome, going to make a Touhou game in that style. Or another game like Patchcon or the Komeji house puzzle game. Or a new Super Marisa La- wait they did that one already, right? Was that a new game?

>>22206802
Like a lot of people have said in the last thread, the sprites seriously need some rework. The background and the effects too, but the sprites takes priority.
That said I do like the heavy ink brush style they're going for. Kinda reminds me of Okami.

>>22207725
>it’s coming from a part of Old Hell that everyone is too scared to talk about or mess with
So there's more to Old Hell that's apparently even beyond Chireiden? Man, that'd make a lot of doujin a bit awkward in terms of setting.

>>22207688
>I was expecting it to involve platforming
I'm still expecting that. Remember that what we have here isn't a demo, it's an early beta. It's very possible the full game is meant to have stages before the boss fights, as per the mainline Touhou games, and they just haven't been implemented yet.

>>22207658
Keep telling yourself that, spic.

>>22207749
>So there's more to Old Hell that's apparently even beyond Chireiden? Man, that'd make a lot of doujin a bit awkward in terms of setting.
If Toutetsu's in the game it's probably another gateway to the Animal Realm or Mitori

>>22207753
>Keep telling yourself
I'm telling you that's false.

The sprites look nice judging from these gifs. What's wrong with them?

>>22207800
Nothing. It's just autists being autistic over nothing as usual.

>>22207800
>>22207803
They may look """nice""" but they're nowhere near the level of HM-ULiL-AoCF's sprites. Hell, you could argue they're even below the level of IaMP-SWR-Hisou's sprites. If you still like them then that's fine, but that's no excuse to start samefagging and calling people that don't like them autists.

>>22207835
Not only are those two posts less than a minute apart, they aren't even from the same anon.

>>22207733
I didn't know Tasofro made Grief Syndrome. Thanks for the info.

>>22206802
I wanted anything but another fighting game. I really hate them (translation: I'm terrible at them).

>>22207835
if you want people to not insult you then dont say everyone that likes the artstyle is a samefag

>>22207764
>Mitori ascending to canon status
If that happens the fandom will shit bricks.

>>22207803
I don't think so. Look at the sprites in every other game tasofro has made.

>>22206802
The beginning of that song sounds like Nue's theme mixed with the main theme from Portal 2

It's very fun to me, and I like that tokiame finally answered my burning question about how Reimu's detached sleeves stay up

>>22207800
The animation is bad.

>>22208560
Not really though? They're obviously designed to be seen at a small size. And fit the obvious Ink theme the game is going for if you're going to criticize the art itself.

The only one in the thread that actually looks kind of jank is >>22206924 but that's more because she's balancing on her leg so she wobbles a bit. The only criticism I have for that one is that it might need a extra frame or two but that might be tough to implement due to the style of the game.
tl;dr: You're complaining about something you clearly don't know about, and don't know what bad animation actually is.

>>22208609
Reimu's running animation, for example, is cringy to look at, and I honestly don't care how you try to justify it. If small size is the reason, they shouldn't have made them so small.

>>22208624
>running animation
>is cringy to look at
you're not even trying at this point

>>22208634
Nice shitpost.

>>22208624
>T-they shouldn't have made them small then!
Really? Man I'm glad you aren't a game designer.

I like it a lot. As a single player game it feels five times more refined than the previous official tasofro games. The more content there is when it's out, the better. As there's clearly a character select it seems unlikely Reimu will be the only playable one. I wonder how differently others will play

>>22208624
>is cringy to look at
No one's going to take your arguments seriously with that vocabulary.

>>22206802
>try to run the game
>screen pops up and closes
My PC is still set on japanese and I have windows 10 what's wrong?

>>22208721
>Windows 10
There's the issue

>>22208609
>>22208662
Mario's sprites back in the 80s were meant to be seen at a small size and they did a much better job at not making them look god awful.

Bringing up the artstyle is a very dumb deflection. Sprites can both look good and fit the artstyle. You don't need to sacrifice one for the other if the artist is skilled enough. Moreover, nothing about the artstyle implies limited animation, hence shit like Kogasa's standing animation has no excuse beyond being plain unfinished.

Jumpy animations, scratchy as fuck outlines and some rather unfitting and awkward cartoon stretching at times. These sprites are fucking bad, dude.

>>22208721
I have windows 10 and had the exact same issue, check if your folder or windows username has any non-ASCII characters, that seems to fuck with a lot of games

>>22208662
What's really sad is that ZUN is still stuck with Tasofro after all these years, like these hacks are the only doujin game circle in existence.

>>22208842
They are his friends. It can't be helped.

>>22208842
this. tasofro hasn't made anything good since efz and iamp

I absolutely love that Magician's Melancholy has gotten some love this time around. Hopefully someone uploads all the demo songs soon.

>>22207749
I think the sprites look fine.
The real issue is that stage 3 has you just floating over the ground, they need to fix the background to at least make it look like you're standing on solid ground.

>>22206802
It's kind of disappointing after Mystical Chain and Tempest which are already several years old fangames at this point. There isn't really much to combos in this game besides up airing everybody repeatedly once you get them stunned. Also the red bar is too long or the opponent's HP is too low for several spellcards. A lot of bosses are already near dead by the point you knock them into stun if you're any good at hitting them when they're not in red. Yuugi's second phase is particularly obnoxious about this. She has the smallest window of opportunity being like a second long at most while also sliding drastically and keeping her hurtbox up until the very moment the attack ends. It's easier to just hit her in her startups most of the time. It also doesn't help that there isn't much danmaku use by the player besides pre-aimed amulets in the air which don't do a lot of damage. The bomb costing HP makes it not very worthwhile to use a lot of the time.

I'm honestly curious how they'll implement actual stages. I don't think it will end up being much different from what Mystical Chain or Tempest did, but maybe Tasofro might do something interesting.

Will Marisa be a playable character or are you forced to play worst miko?

>>22209217
I'll be very surprised if Marisa isn't a playable character in the final build. And Reimu isn't going anywhere so don't worry no one is going to make you play as Sanae.

ZUN, you traitor! ;_;

Is the only game download out so far that one with game.exe, data.cga, lisence.txt (yes) and readme.txt?

The game crashes immediately for me on win7. I've heard others are having issues in 7 too but I haven't seen anyone find any solutions.

>>22210032

>>22210308

I can't believe this is gonna be Win10's killer app

>>22210447
That's DX12 you're thinking of. 11 got backported to 7.

>>22210076
Last thread I saw someone post the reason for the crash. The game would have to be patched to fix it, though, and that hasn't happened yet.

I really like the sprites.

My favorite theory is that the big bad is going to be the one Animal Realm faction leader that we didn't get to see in WBaWC. Which one is that, you ask? The leader of the eagle faction.

Enough with the American association

>>22211756
Why the spoiler tho, the title kinda makes that obvious. It'd be more of a surprise if it's the unnamed fifth faction.

>>22211602
Pfft. Everyone knows if they're going for anything Megaman, it's gonna be the Original series.

why do you guys think everything is bad, you all suck

Shanghai.EXE is better.

>>22213685
People (here, at least) have praised the gameplay, the TOKIAME art and the story, and are curious and excited to see where the game goes next, though.

Just because some people may dislike the sprites doesn't mean they think "everything is bad"

>>22213685
Why don't you sit down and stop reacting to criticism that isn't even directed at you.

>>22213685

>>22214794
I never thought I'd be possible to lose my virginity to a headbutt, but with touhou, it is!

>>22213685
No one is saying everything is bad. They're saying the sprites look low effort compared to every single other thing tasofro has ever made. That's it.

>>22211518
yes it did
the game is patched to run on w7 since like two days.

Looking at youtube vids too many dumb folks are complaining about the controls.

How is basic directional input awkward? I had beat Marisa and was chasing Kogasa 1 for 1 within 15 minutes after figuring out what the buttons did.

>>22215813
It's probably the lack of a dedicated jump button.

>>22215813
Shmup players can't handle anything more complex than holding down one button. It's why the story modes in the fighters kept getting dumbed down as well

>>22215813
Its probably people not used to the FG style of press up to jump

>>22215872
That would still be better than holding Z to float or up+X/Z to go up

>>22215872
In tekken, mvsc and kof you have to press up to jump.

>>22215928
Oh shit I read the opposite of what you said, I'm retarded.

>>22215639
Oh, I wasn't aware of that, my apologies. Do you know where I can find the patch?

how is this a semiofficial game? looks like some fanshit made after Luna Night success

>>22215968
no need to apologize friend, i was the one being condescending here, sorry
here's the patch

"Extract the file within the same directory, then run the patch archive .exe to make the game compatible with Windows 7"

i'm surprised that no one in the two threads were aware of this, it released pretty quickly and was advertised often on other websites...

>>22216043
Bless you, anon. The game starts for me, now, though it crashes right when the pre-match dialogue ends and the fight is meant to begin. I'm not sure why that happens, I'm using Locale Emulator.

>>22216176
Not him but I had that happen too. Switch to AppLocale if you have it.

>>22216176
*I'm using Locale Emulator and my Windows name is all ASCII characters.

>>22216176
tasofro games generally don't like locale emulator

>>22216180
AppLocale doesn't work on 10 and probably doesn't work on 8 either. Even on 7 it requires hacks to work.

>>22216441
Did you make the attempt? It works just fine for me in 8.1.

>>22216487
I was too lazy to hack it together so I just used locale emulator. I'm also using server 2016 and it just works.

>>22216180
For me the game still crashes at the start of Marisa's battle even with the both patch and AppLocale.

>>22216652
Switching to windowed and skipping the first cutscene worked for me.

>>22215974

The answer is Tasofro.

>>22216652
>>22216717
Switching to windowed doesn't seem to make a difference for me and the game still crashes just before the fight no matter what. But randomly it also crashes at the beginning of the cutscene sometimes, no idea what causes that. Trying to skip the cutscene just makes the window completely black.
I have the patch and I'm using Locale Emulator. Would switching to AppLocale be better?

>>22216900
The answer is "early beta", /v/.

>>22216717
Well, I kinda worked for the first time. At least, I have managed to fight Marisa and see, how the game works. But then I died and the game crashed. I've tried to play again, but now it crashes in the middle of the battle.

>>22216929
Okay, well I didn't do anything different but I got it to work once. Died though.

>>22215974
>how is this a semiofficial game?
Because "17.5"

>>22215974
What’s “semi” about it? It is official

>>22216986
Still didn't change anything but I got it to work enough to beat it. It was pretty fun, especially Yuugi's fight

>>22214505
I got bad news for you anon

>>22216043
Nice upskirt

>>22206802
I tried playing this like rabi-ribi for the first hour but it really wasn't a good idea. its more about bullet cancelling and stamina management.

healing is also integrated into the gameplay, if you hold the dash button for a sec you can drain all the blackwater(?) while blocking bullets in the white bubble to heal.

My main gripe is how there's really no fine movement aspect (you don't really dodge the bullets, only cancel them), no jump button which means you have to fucking dash if the ground is uneven, and how slow reimu is that you have to dash to get anywhere. it would be better if its like soku where you can hold dash

Why did Reimu get so retarded that she forgot how to shoot

>>22218062

She drank too much petroleum and lost too many brain cells.

>>22206802
>gohei as tall as herself
It's growing stronger

>>22217515
This is the problem that all official tasofro touhou games suffer from. You're never actually dodging bullet patterns or reacting to the boss's behavior, you're just spamming grazing moves until the boss stops attacking.

>>22218522

>>22218062

>>22219200
It'll probably have stages. It wouldn't make sense for the projectile attacks to exist otherwise, since they don't really do anything to the bosses.

I like the game but this is still a far cry from Mega Mari or Marisa Land.

It's really bizarre that they insist on using the fighter mechanics for their official games.

>>22207725

At least we can all agree that it's a wonderful thing that that faggot alphes and his disgusting art didn't come back.

>>22226647
Why the hate? His pre-HM art was great.

>>22226929
His IaMP and SWR art is good but you could see which way the wind was blowing with his Soku art when it started having suspiciously more colour to it l
Cirno's hair there is already starting to be far too dramatic in colouring

>>22226647
HM's losing Miko portrait is great

>>22227041
to be honest Tenshi is a weird case where ZUN wanted way more colors on that character, even so that SWR/Soku Tenshi is a dumbed down version of what she was supposed to be in term of charadesign.

>>22227041
It’s less color and more shading making his art looks more and more like unfolded crumpled paper

>>22219335

This is almost certainly a beta test of the engine they'll use for the next batch of fighters.

>>22228153
What makes you say that?

>>22227041
>started having suspiciously more colour to it l
>Cirno's hair there is already starting to be far too dramatic in colouring
What do you mean? What is 'dramatic coloring'? And why are they bad?
>>22228054
You can't deny there's a certain level of expertise to reduce the shading down to their simpler shapes. I prefer it to all the "smooth" shading out there, but I also think there's a place for both to coexist. I learnt a thing or two by observing his art in IaMP, so there's that.

>>22226647
i actually liked alphes art in HM if only because the chibi proportions made the art feel more ZUN like.
>>22228153
keep seeing people claim this but i doubt it since it's supposed to more platformer like than fighting game like. just because its a boss rush style demo doesn't mean it's going to be used for fighting games.

>>22228153
That would mean their EVO-level fighter is going to play like a platform fighter/Smash clone.

which is exactly the kind of shit tasofro would pull so I believe it

>>22228822
Well Smash has the most entrants and viewers at EVO anyways
EVO-level kinda means fuck all, even Catherine got to EVO

>>22242162
Nah, this beta reeks of the trademark ZUN bait-and-switch. At most there'll be one more stage underground where Reimu and Marisa will be told Old Hell has nothing to do with the oil and that the true culprit is in like the Animal Realm or something.

>>22242204

This game is definitely not as high in production value as the fighting games so it'll probably be released at Winter Comiket, meaning the end of December.

>>22245518

>There isn't even guest musicians
That's probably a good thing.

>>22245975
So that's why the music is good

>>22245975
>There isn't even guest musicians
The only good thing from guest musician is AoCF's Tenshi theme

>>22245975
>No guest musicians
You won't see me cry over that, frankly

>>22245975
bruh

>>22251224
Most of them were unfitting and there was absolutely no music direction or sense of cohesion. Byakuren's and Doremy's songs were especially bad.

With Kogasa investigating underground, will we finally find out what she was doing hanging out with Yamame and Kisume in Double Spoiler?

Well she apparently knows who is responsible, so she probably passes through to visit or something.

>>22251906
Your mother is unfitting and has no music direction or sense of cohesion.

>>22253013
Exactly, would you want Anon's mom as the bgm?

>>22251906
I'm still upset that we got robbed of a U2 Akiyama remix of Eternal Spring Dream

>>22253478
If anon's mom is hot, I don't see why not.

>>22253478
I reckon her lullabies could be serious bangers

>>22253895
Me too. At least we got a nice remix of Shimmy's theme.

Thank god.

You are aware that VMs use the resources of your system to perform the emulation, right? You can only emulate backwards, not upwards.
In layman's terms, with your artistic skills, you may be able to emulate ZUN's artistic style, but you can never do the same with da Vinci.

>>22206802
>What are you expecting out of the full game?
Mima.

So, on a scale from 0 to 10, where 10 is Hisousensoku and 0 is the unholy trinity of HM, ULiL and AoCF, where does this game stand?

>>22254660
how are you going to compare a platformer to fighting games though

>>22254660
I don't understand why faggots are so enamored with Soku.

Genuinely, what are you people on? And ULiL and AoCF are infinitely better than HM, despite looking nearly the same.

>>22254660
This isn't a versus game, so it's going up against the fighter's story modes which are 0's across the board. It would take a disaster for this game to be worse than any of those.

>>22254660
An early beta/10.

>>22254660
it's an early beta but I'd say it's a solid 3
maybe if tas*fro added an ability to jump it'd be a 4 but that would be waay too much to ask for

>>22254840
HM is the only good floater, ulil and aocf are irredeemable pieces of fucking shit

>>22254840
Isn't it obvious? The second trilogy has a cast half comprised of literal whos.

>>22255184
yeah it dont even have whole SDM cast omg....

>>22255001
>HM is the only good floater, ulil and aocf are irredeemable pieces of fucking shit
I have played only IAmP, gonna try SWR and UNT next, but what's bad about ULiL's and AoFC's float that HM's isn't?

>>22255391
Don't get me wrong, HM has the same floating mechanics as ulil and aocf. The thing is, HM makes up for it by having soku-like skill system and items, popularity meter, perfect blocking and the controls were slightly different. 13.5 is still a massive step-back from soku but it's still a very fun game.
Speaking of fun, Ulil has none of that. It had a pretty good cast but the random occult ball effects made the game absolutely unplayable, randomness was also a big deal in soku but I only know what Typhoon, Scorching Sun, Vampire Mist (?) and River Mist do, the rest literally doesn't matter at alll. Ulil on the other hand, has the most match breaking bullshit I've ever seen, random walls appearing out of nowhere, a black hole sucking you in, bullets slowing down because of moon gravity and a lot more shit. AoCF was definitely a step in the right direction, Yorigami sisters and Yukari are fun to play, randomness was removed and you could pick 2 characters and switch between them like in MvC games. However it still lacks customisation and I find HM to be simply more fun.

>>22255521
this
HM was a piece of shit of a game but it still was more interesting to play than ULiL or AoCF

AoCF is not that bad though, it can be fun from times to times.

>>22254814
But there is no platforming at all in this game.

Sounds like my kind of game.

>>22254840
Because Soku is great.

>>22254660
>>22255184
Now I understand why Shotty can't stand you people.

>>22254840
>I don't understand why faggots are so enamored with Soku.
They generally can be segregated into 2 camps.

Camp A is secondaries such as >>22255184. They adore Shitku because it has their favorite irrelevant newfag-magnet whohu. Le ebin Sookooya, le edgy Flandere lmao, epic (You)moo, you name it. So then come games more geared towards primaries, who are actually invested in Touhou and can appreciate the appearance of, say, Doremy, and it offends Camp A because they don't know who these people are, as characters outside of their EBIC youtube poops don't exist. They then retreat back to Shitku and proclaim it the best Touhou game ever as decided by the council of Tumblr secondaries.

Camp B is """professional""" players and Chileans, such as >>22255521 and >>22255613, who unironically believe Shitku is some sort of skill-based game and that makes it superior to the more RNG-based floaters. Anyone with three-digit IQ can play the games for a bit and realize that's not even remotely close to the truth. HM and AoCF are almost bereft or randomness, while ULiL keeps it to the Mystery Spot system. While Shitku is so covered in the shit that you can't even use your own damn moves consistently. Imagine if you were playing Street Fighter 2 and you could use Ryu's Hadouken whenever the computer says you can. That's Shitku, except you have to unlock the thing, and that ALSO happens when the RNG says so, and let's not even get started on the weather on top of everything else. But this RNG gives Chileans a good-enough illusion that they're accomplishing things due to their skill, so they defend it as being """skill-based""" despite the fact that they likely would never win shit if it wasn't for the RNG giving them the moves they needed at the right time, while denying that to the opponent. So they lambast games that take ACTUAL skill, like the floaters. And the mainline games too, which is why it continues to contribute to the secondary menace as I've explained previously.

Dropping Shitku and leaving Chileans in the cold is still the damn best decision Tasofro has ever made and if they never EVER return to that shitty formula then it'll still be too soon. Pic related, where Shitku and its players belong.

It's true that newhous are unpopular. If you look at yearly polls, you'll see that there is a cutoff line between SA and UFO. Sometimes there will be a breakout character, like Hata, but as a rule of thumb post-SA characters don't get into top 20 that often and don't stay there.

I'm neither professional nor a chilean and I never mentioned "skill" in my post but alright? I won't argue with delusional people

She was an example of a newfag-magnet that would cause secondaries to misbehave. Still, I think I should have mentioned Alice instead.

Can anyone explain the Chilean meme to me?

>>22257250
You wouldn't get it.

>>22256330
That's mainly in part of there being a decade's worth of content consisting of those old characters. New fans are more likely to favor them due to the sheer amount of content they've amassed.

>>22255521
Oh, I see. The randomness does seem to mess people up in a competitive environment. At least, I'll just enjoy the games for the characters, visualisation of locations, music (god bless U2) and amazing sprites. Thank you for your thorough explanation.

why are the spinning animation so shit

>>22258845
>The randomness does seem to mess people up in a competitive environment.
Yeah, unless Shitku does it then it's okay with all these ""people"". I'd say you really shouldn't be listening to Chileans but you reek of newfag so you should, that way you're easier to spot in the future.

>>22257250
One Chilean dude said he liked a game, so therefore everyone who likes that game is Chilean.

>>22265106
Your reply is also invalid.

It's ok, guys. It's just a beta. I am sure the full version will suddenly have spritework that puts the likes of Wario Land: Shake It to shame. Just like how all the other games suddenly looked radically different between demo and full version.

>>22266175
Your passive-aggressiveness would be commendable if it wasn't misinformed.

>>22266252
Yeah remember when Tasofro released HM's demo and Reimu's animations looked so bad that everyone on /jp/ complained? I am glad they had their artists redraw all of them to make them look as good as they are now for the full version. Tasofro is well known for doing stuff like that.

>>22266289
You completely missed the mark too. But that was expected. How about you take your time to think about the comparison you're making.

i want to play as kogasa

>>22226647
Alphes is the only artist working on Touhou who actually got worse somehow. No clue what he was thinking with HM.

>>22206802

ZUN's art took a sharp nosedive between Mystic Square and EoSD and it's still in the process of recovering.

>>22278666
If it wasn't for the PC-98's limitations, it probably all would have looked like EoSD.

>>22278666
I liked the effect of the EoSD era art. It makes the character designs feel more like suggestions, with all sorts of interpretations emerging over time. Since UFO that process hasn't really been a thing, and I miss it.

>>22206802
I hope the new character will be cute. Not sexy. CUTE.

>>22226647
Theses fucking eyelashess. Good thing we're done with Alphes.

Imagine disliking thick eyelashes.

Assuming you're actually on XP, install AppLocale. Everyone else can use Locale Emulator.

I like Alphes Cirno since it gives the possibility that Cirno only "acts" like a child, rather then looks like one.
