What do you all think of the new ZUN interview?

Some highlights:
-ZUN ignores all ideas from outside Japan (I know this makes /jp/ happy, but...)
-ZUN forbids Rikishi07 to do Touhou Doujins
-ZUN forget to apply for winter comiket.
-The Makai in TH01, TH05 and TH12 are the same thing.
-ZUN thinks SA is harder than usual, but UFO was actually nerfed
-Kaguya, Mokou, Wriggle, and Nitori were planned for Touhou 12.3 but ZUN scrapped them, Kaguya and Mokou for being too powerful, and the other two for being out of time
-ZUN is tsundere

I don't understand Kaguya or Mokou's immortality meaning they're too powerful for fighting games.

Right out of the drunken idiot's own mouth he said that they can still feel pain and be "killed" (they'll regenerate later, key word here being LATER).

By the same token, Cirno shouldn't be in the game because despite faggotry, she is incredibly weak, strong only to other fairies.

Not a singular suggestion, but it and many other aspects of Touhou are based on or even tributes to ideas from outside Japan. Like, say, Team SHANGHAI ALICE, and all the accompanying Lewis Carroll and Agatha Christie references?

The bottom line is that one of ZUN's attractions was that he believed in a fusion of the East and West, so it's strange that he would now reject his original ideals.

That part sounded to me like some comment about his CG from EP2. He also said that he is a tsundere, so he actually wants Ryu-chan to make more reference to his Touhous in his Uminekos

I'll try to make more detailed translation as some of the rough translation in OP is likely to cause misunderstanding or downright wrong.

>ZUN forbids Rikishi07 to do Touhou Doujins
"It was the first time I didn't give approval for someone to make Touhou doujin material.
It was because I wanted him to put that effort into his own work."

>ZUN ignores all ideas from outside Japan
"There have been offers from foreign countries, but I haven't responded to any of them"
